Volume 1 Chapter 11 The fragrance of incense can fill a room 016 Corporal punishment with whips and rods

  In just a short moment, twelve soldiers with long spears arrived. Without saying a word, they surrounded me in a circle. More than ten long spears were pointing at me!

  There were five people on the seats, slightly leaning towards our direction with half of their bodies! This Long Nu Ya! Under the name of violating military discipline, he actually wanted to test whether I was the prince or not! In this case, the result is already very clear! I smiled slightly and said loudly, "General Nu Lei has a big temper! It's really laughable!"

  He tightened his military pants again, his face suddenly turned iron-green, and he shouted loudly, "I will execute someone who has violated the military discipline, who dares to laugh!"

  I stood among a dozen long spears, my face unchanging. "General Furious Thunder was defeated by the hands of an unknown young soldier, and in front of everyone, he became enraged with shame and jealousy towards the talented and capable youth, ordering his execution, a young man who didn't even belong to the army!"

  "Shut up! How dare you speak to the general like that!" The little soldier holding a long spear shouted at me. I slightly raised an eyebrow, not even looking at him. This person isn't even qualified to talk to me!

  He saw that I was ignoring him, and the long spear in his hand changed direction, pointing directly at my nose. I still didn't look at him.

  Long Nuyue seemed to be considering what I said! The crown prince and several princes on the throne discussed in a low voice for a few words, then got up and walked down from the school field. Following him were Yu Yun Jiang Long Yungyue, Mu Feng Jiang Long Yuye, and several others. I saw them for the first time, but they looked better than one another! Each had their own unique features.

  "Ha! He's absolutely right! As a civilian, he naturally doesn't understand military discipline! At such a young age, he already has such abilities, his future prospects are bound to be limitless!" The crown prince laughed loudly.

  I raised an eyebrow and swept a glance over the others, although I didn't say anything, but I could also feel the interaction between them!

  "You dare to draw a knife on me! This man may not be a soldier, but he has committed the grave crime of attempted assassination! He should be punished with extreme severity!" Long Nuoya thundered.

  "Is it worth selling my personal feelings?" The prince's lips curled up in a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. At this moment, he was clearly already showing signs of being forced into a corner.

  "The army has its rules! If the elder brother insists on intervening, how can I lead my troops to fight in the future?" Long Nüyǎ coldly snorted. This arrogant attitude is no wonder why the crown prince regards him as his greatest enemy! He wants to get rid of him and feel relieved afterwards!

  "Well said! The military has its rules! General Thunder seems to have forgotten that I am not a member of your army! Since you're using assassination as evidence, Your Highness, then it doesn't count as overstepping authority!" I coldly snorted.

  His eyes widened in anger, but for a moment he couldn't speak, and then loudly said, "I can barely save myself, yet I'm still speaking up for others!"

  "I'm not speaking for anyone else! The prince is pleading on my behalf! I'm not speaking for him, I'm speaking for you!" I retorted coldly, gazing straight into his sharp eyes.

  "Alright! Alright! Since big brother has spoken, then I, Long Nuyue, will definitely give big brother face! However, if we just let him off like this, it would truly be a humiliation to my prestige! Therefore, the death penalty can be spared, but the punishment of flogging cannot be escaped! Under the scorching sun, he will be exposed for a day and whipped 100 times!" Long Nuyue said loudly.

  I raised an eyebrow and stretched out my hand to stop the Crown Prince's words of apology, "Your Highness! A man should take responsibility for his own actions! If you're going to hit someone, then just hit them!"

  Long Qingyan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but he didn't say another word. Long Yuqiao stood aside with a dark face, unwilling to give in. At this moment, the situation among the princes in the court was already clearly revealed! Who had power and who was with whom was clear at a glance!

  "Ha! You dare to be so arrogant! Fine! Bring him here and tie him to the wooden stake! I'll see how long you can keep up this act!"

  Those dozen or so soldiers, as if they had received a sacred decree, rushed forward to bind me! I swept them aside with one palm, held my head high and puffed out my chest. "I'll go myself!" I said, and then strode away with head held high!

  I licked my dry lips, with both hands tied behind me to the wooden stake, Long Nuyue's face was ashen, standing in front of me, and the soldiers behind him handed over a whip soaked in salt water. I raised an eyebrow calmly. As long as I get through this, I'll have succeeded!

  I'm betting my life on this gamble. A chance to follow the Crown Prince! Long Qingyan has been making me fight as soon as he arrives, and yet he's been showing concern for me everywhere, it's all just a ploy to use Long Nuyi's hands to send me to my death!

  Ordinary dragon tribe members who join the demon dragon tribe must undergo numerous trials, let alone someone with my status! He is not wrong, the mistake lies in me being Ye Hanmei!

  Long Nu Ya sneered coldly. Suddenly, the whip in his hand lashed towards me. "Crack!" A loud noise was heard, and a blood stain appeared! I gritted my teeth and refused to make a sound.

  He sneered, "Good! You're a real man!" With that, his subordinates showed no mercy and rushed towards me at lightning speed! I was already numb with pain! But I still didn't make a sound!

  The nine sons of the Dragon Emperor all shook their heads, saying that he was a very stubborn man. The whip in Long Nu's hand also became lighter and lighter! My whole body was stinging with pain. I bit my lip, but a smile still appeared on my face!

  Pain! It's my only feeling! Because of this pain, I can keep a clear head under the scorching sun! The whip lashes on my body are painful, but they can't compare to the pain of being betrayed by loved ones! Can't compare to the pain of losing the cold snow! So, I can endure! Sweat and blood drip onto the school grounds, seeping into the earth in an instant, staining it a dull red. With each breath, I feel the pain all over my body!

  "Ninety-six! Ninety-seven! Ninety-eight! Ninety-nine! One hundred!" Long Yuyan shouted loudly. "It's full one hundred now!"

  Long Nu Ya threw away his whip and walked in front of me, saying loudly, "You're a real man! Today I'll spare you from suffering under the scorching sun! Good fellow! If you still have energy left, tonight, I'll invite you to drink with us!" His eyes shone with intense light, as if he was admiring me. I pulled at the corner of my mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness! Cold Shuai will definitely keep the appointment on time!" At this moment, asking me to go to the appointment tonight is really thinking of killing me! I coldly snorted.

  "He exclaimed loudly, 'Great! It's a personal matter! So, tonight, at the Qian Hong Building, let's have a drink and not leave until we're drunk!' He said that, then turned around and left with loud laughter!"

  Long Rui and Long Bie rushed over, untying the rope that bound my hands. The rope had been tied too tightly and had dug deep into my flesh, leaving a circle of deep red marks.

  "You're too arrogant!" Long Rui said slowly.

  "Is that so! Too arrogant! Never seen anyone who was flogged a hundred times without making a sound!" The prince stood in front of me, staring at me intensely.

  Behind him stood four people. Long Yu Ya and Long Yun Ya are familiar to me! The others, it seems, are also members of the Prince's Party!

  I barely stood up straight, after a while I lowered my head and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Prince, for saving my life! Leng Shuai is willing to swear allegiance to the prince!"

  He nodded slightly. "Let's go treat the wound! I believe in your loyalty! Long Rui, get out the best muscle-repairing jade lotion! Leng Shuai, you've suffered!"

  I smiled calmly and said in a low voice, "I have suffered greater hardships!"

  "Are you really going to Qian Hong Lou tonight?" The prince frowned and asked.

  I nodded slightly, a faint smile on my lips. "Of course I'm going!" If they didn't all go to Qian Hong Lou, how could I find out which one of them was the man from that day? Using those girls' hands to pluck out their proudly puffed-out chest hair!

  "Then you go treat your wounds first!" The crown prince frowned and said.

  "Yes!" I lowered my head. Success! First, I took the opportunity to slap Dragon Anger's face, humiliating him in public and gaining his favor. Then, through Dragon Anger's hands, I performed a good show for him to see, gaining his trust! If it weren't for owing him a life-saving debt, he would not have let me pledge allegiance so easily! A woman like me, how could he possibly put me by his side and entrust me with important tasks so simply? If it weren't for this whipping, I reckon he wouldn't have deigned to attend the banquet at Qian Hong Lou either!

  Everything has a price, today he wants to kill me, Long Nuyue owes me one hundred lashes of revenge, I will definitely get it back from them one by one!
