However, a smile gradually appeared on Xiao He's face.

The soldier who whipped him laughed when he saw that he didn't beg for mercy. How could anyone laugh when he was whipped?

"He was stupid! Ha ha ha, there are still five lashes. Continue to beat me hard! " Hu Du, the first soldier, smashed another shoe on Xiao He's face and shouted.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

Whip after whip, mercilessly pulled on Xiao He. He was gradually black and blue, but he was still as tall as a mountain and never wavered.

After a whipping, the executing soldiers were almost paralyzed, but Xiao He was still majestic. He looked contemptuously at the soldier sitting on the ground panting and threw the reins on the ground.

This look and action had a natural deterrent force, which made Hu Du feel a little afraid at the bottom of his heart. His eyes twinkled and said:

"Squeeze Xiao He into the barracks and follow the treatment of soldiers at the end."

"Yes!" They escorted Xiao He to the barracks.

Hu Du found himself in a cold sweat and murmured, "isn't this Xiaohe the body of King Kong? With ten lashes of such strength, ordinary people are afraid that they will die half their lives. He has nothing to do? "

It seems that this Central Plains man is more powerful than he thought.

However, for the sake of his master Jin Wu, he must double his hospitality to Xiao He in the rest of the day! Then you can ask for credit and receive a reward.

Thinking, he put aside his fear at the bottom of his heart and walked to the barracks.

Xiao He took off his robe and put on the gray and black clothes of ordinary soldiers. The whip marks on his body were covered up, but the whip marks on his neck, back of his hands and face were still clearly visible.

But the clothes could not hide the heroism and courage he exuded - his Xiaohe will always be Xiaohe.

When he appeared, the soldiers who were eating were stunned for a moment - isn't this Xiao He, a central plains man who made a great splash on the hunting ground a few days ago?

Why is he here?

"Come on, listen up. Xiao He was demoted to a soldier because he offended our most respected empress dowager. The Empress Dowager has an order. He will be here in the future. Brothers, please say hello." Hu Du came over, put his hands around his chest and commanded meaningfully.

He looked at Xiao He again, snorted coldly and said, "even the Empress Dowager's will dare to disobey. I really don't know the height of heaven and earth!"

After the account, he swaggered away——

With a sneer, Xiao He secretly aimed at a stone on the ground and made a secret effort under his feet - so fast that no one noticed.

"Ah!" Hu Du, who was about to go out, was hit by a hard object on the back of his head. The whole man rushed forward, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and his head was dizzy.

"My Lord, my Lord!"

Several soldiers hurried over. It took Hu Du a long time to recover. He suddenly turned around and looked at the position where Xiao he had just stood, but found that he had already sat down on the other side.

"Who, who, who hit me?" He asked fiercely, but everyone shook their heads.

Suddenly, a feeling of nausea came to his heart. Hu Du stumbled, "come on, help me, help me to the doctor, and settle the account later."

Xiao He's lips are slightly skimmed, and an evil smile condenses in the corners of his mouth——

What he just hit, the key acupoint behind the ignorant Khitan's brain



Prime Minister Nan Cheng's residence, Xiao Zhenhai's study.

"What?"

Xiao Zhenhai suddenly stood up.

"Father, do something quickly. The second brother was demoted to the last soldier and had to be whipped three times a day!" Xiao Hu said anxiously.

"What's going on? The last hunting contest was fine! " Xiao Zhenhai stepped out of his study.

"The second brother he... Refused the will of Empress Dowager Renyi to marry Princess Yan to him. The Empress Dowager made such a decision in a rage." Xiao Hu looked at Xiao Zhenhai carefully and said.

"He! He's confused! He defied the gift that no one else could ask for! "

"Master, master, I've heard all about it. Please think of a way to save the river." Mrs. Xiao hurried in and said.

"Madam, no one can save him except himself!"

Xiao Zhenhai hurried to the palace. His angry voice changed.

"Princess Yan is the Empress Dowager's favorite princess. She takes her everywhere. The Empress Dowager likes him and asks him to be her son-in-law. Having Princess Yan will be of great benefit to our Xiao family's status and reputation in Youzhou. Only those nobles in Qidan will really recognize our Xiao family!"

"Father, don't be angry. You know the second brother..."

"Mingming is a man who attracts women's love, and those who like him are high-ranking golden branches and jade leaves. When they were thirteen princesses in Kyoto, now there is another Princess Yan. Everyone is infatuated with him. What a good opportunity! But do not know how to use!

But he ruined them all. There is only one fake princess in his mind for so many years! Last time I said I wanted to break with her. I think he said nonsense to me on purpose, for fear that I might hurt his sweetheart! "

Xiao Zhenhai really hates iron but not steel. His face is angry.

Xiao Hu bowed his head and didn't know what to say.

At the palace, Xiao Zhenhai asked to see empress dowager Renyi, but was told——

If Nanxiang came to plead for Xiao He, he didn't have to. The mourners didn't give him a chance. They have given him two ways, one is to be brilliant, the other is to be demoted as a soldier. He has made a choice.

Xiao Zhenhai was speechless and had to leave bitterly.

He went all the way to the barracks and asked several people before he finally saw the shadow of Xiao He. He was sitting among the other soldiers, wiping the long gun on his hand. His face was cold and expressionless.

Xiao Zhenhai hurried over, and Xiao he slowly raised his head——

"Come here!"

Xiao He put down his long gun and followed Xiao Zhenhai to the side where there was no one.

Seeing the scars on Xiao He, Xiao Hu hurried forward and asked anxiously, "second brother, are you seriously injured?"

Xiao He pulled out a smile on his face and comforted, "third brother, it's hard not to beat me."

"Hum." Xiao Zhenhai sneered and stared at Xiao He.

Xiao He nodded and said, "father."

"How long do you have to wait?" This time, instead of punching and kicking Xiao He as before, Xiao Zhenhai looked into his eyes and his wound and asked.

Xiao He was slightly stunned, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Enough, Xiao He, really enough!

You know better than anyone, and you know better than anyone. You can't wait for her at all. You have completely lost her since the moment you left the Central Plains.

She is in Kyoto and you are in Youzhou. You may not even see each other in your life. What's the meaning of your infatuation?
