C228

A cold snort sounded. When it entered the ears of the generals and Yun Zi Huang, even though the voice wasn't loud, everyone was able to hear that it had reached the extreme.

A cold snort came from Feng Qingxiao's nostrils. The generals kneeling on the ground all deeply lowered their heads, not daring to make a single sound. Even when the lord had ordered him to kill one hundred thousand soldiers of the Northern Barbarians, he had been ambushed and ambushed several times on his way back to the capital and had suffered severe injuries.

Feng Ren didn't dare to say another word as he pursed his lips tightly. He lowered his head to peek outside the door and peeked at Princess Pingping, who was lying on a bench.

With the situation at such a stage, the princess was unwilling to speak any soft words or ask him to replace her. The lord's military might was not allowed to be violated at all. The princess was bound to suffer under these 60 military sticks!

When she heard the extremely angry snort, her heart couldn't help but tighten as an indescribable feeling welled up within her.

She wouldn't turn her head to look at him. Her hand gripped the edge of the bench so hard that her knuckles were white.

"Wind Blade, use the messenger eagle to send an order for Yun Zhao to come here and watch Yun Zi Feng receive the punishment in his place!"

Yun Zihuang suddenly turned her head, his eyes burning with fury as she glared at Feng Qingxiao. Their gazes met in midair. She stared at him with widened eyes. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed as they met hers with an exceptionally sharp gaze.

Wind Blade's heart trembled as he hastily accepted the order, "Understood."

He stood up and bowed as he left the door, preparing to use the messenger eagle to send orders to War God City. He looked at Yun Zihuang and sighed, sending a secret message to her: "In front of so many people who defy the master, only the princess of Tianyuan Kingdom would dare to do such a thing. The lord is our sovereign, and if the lord is so impulsive, even if he does not tolerate punishing the princess, would he let Yun Zhao go?"

Her body trembled as she retracted her gaze from Feng Qingxiao.

Yes, he was now the sovereign of the Tianyuan Kingdom. Although he had never ascended to the throne, the current emperor Zhou Feiran still had to kneel before him in fear and trepidation, calling himself 'humble subject'.

No matter how many ingenious plans she had, or how many disagreements she had with, the War God King's order had forced her to understand one thing. In front of him, she could not force him, no matter what, unless she did not care about Feng Qingxiao's punishment — Yun Zhao and anyone else!

"Stop!"

She rolled over from the bench and kneeled on the ground, facing Feng Qingxiao who was sitting upright in the great hall, "My Lord, I was wrong. I plead for the Lord's grace to keep these sixty military batons, so that this general can make amends for his crimes in the future."

As Wind Blade walked slowly, he kept his feet in place and pricked up his ears, listening to his lord's orders. If he ordered Yun Zhao to come to the northern part of the city and personally see a princess being punished with a military rod in his place, Yun Zhao wouldn't have been able to look at his young prefecture lord, because he would've had no choice but to commit suicide in order to atone for his crimes.

For a long time, there was no sound, and the atmosphere was incomparably heavy.

Feng Qingxiao stared at Yun Zi Huang. The little girl's back was straight as she kneeled at the foot of the stairs outside the door. Her head was lowered, and the expression on her face could not be seen.

"Please consider that Princess Taiping has just arrived in the army and is not familiar with the military rules. This is her first time committing a crime. Please forgive him and allow him to penalize you for her meritorious service."

Amongst the generals kneeling in the hall, there was a person who wasn't wearing any armor, but was wearing an icy-blue arrow sleeves robe. He opened his mouth and begged for mercy.

"Lord, please be merciful."

The generals echoed her words. How could they not see that their master could not bear to punish Princess Pingping? Otherwise, he would have ordered the punishment a long time ago.

"Yes."

Feng Qingxiao only said one word before he picked up the military report and read it. After the generals gave their thanks, they stood up with their hands by their sides.

Yun Zihuang said in a low voice: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I will take my leave now."

She slowly stood up and did not even raise her head to look at Feng Qingxiao. She turned around and nodded at Feng Dao, then left with a calm expression.

Wind Blade hesitated for a moment before stretching out his neck. He peeked at the hall, but when he saw that the military report in his lord's hand was actually in the opposite direction, he was so frightened that he immediately shrunk his neck, not daring to peep again. He sent a secret message to the distant Yun Zihuang, "Princess, please reconsider your last words just now."

Her footsteps paused for a moment, then she quickly left.

"My lord, the barbarians have been quite rampant these past few days. They have repeatedly sent out small groups of people to harass the princess. Would you like to send a team of Iron Guards to escort the princess back?"

The man in the icy-blue robe that had pleaded for mercy raised his hand to cover his lips. He coughed lightly twice and said this. Lifting his head slightly, he looked towards his lord. He had long since discovered that the military intelligence in his lord's hand was upside down. However, his lord had not discovered it.

Feng Qingxiao glanced at Yu Chou and realized that he had taken the military information report in his hand. Throwing it to the side, his handsome face turned even colder. "Wind Blade, bring a thousand Iron Guards with you and escort her back."

"Understood."

Before Feng Ren's foot could enter the door, he hurriedly bowed and left. The princess was still the strongest. When she angered the lord to such an extent, she had to be escorted by a thousand Iron Guards. He thought that he must take advantage of this opportunity to speak to the princess and remind her of something.

His idea was very good. He used the fastest speed possible to order a thousand Iron Guards, then chased him out of the northern city on horseback. He chased him for twenty to thirty miles out of the city, but he didn't even see the shadow of Princess Taiping.

"Stop!"

With a command, the Iron Guards slowed down and stopped. Windblade pinched his chin and chased for so long, but he still hadn't seen the princess. Something was wrong.

"Stop!"

Yun Zihuang raised her hand to stop the horse, and watched as a group of soldiers wiped away their tears, and carried a stretcher over. The person on the stretcher had covered his face with a cloak. Only the dead could cover his face like this. However, she could still feel that this corpse was still alive. It was not dead yet.

She jumped off her horse and walked to the stretcher. "Stop."

The leader of the troop frowned, there were tears in his eyes, he wanted to flare up, but seeing that Yun Zihuang was a beautiful girl accompanied by a group of people dressed in the Iron Guard uniform, he stopped in his tracks, cupped his fists and asked: "This lady, why are you blocking our path? We have funeral matters to attend to, so we would like to ask the young lady and the few of you to step aside. "

She pointed to the person on the stretcher whose face was covered. "The funeral you were talking about, was it this person?"

"Yes, the Berserker Tribe of the Northern Region is loyal to the nation. We will send back the corpse of the Berserker Tribe."

"Nonsense!"

She lifted the cloak and picked up the body by its belt. She turned the body over and placed it on her lap, so that it was hunched over, facing the ground, its back to the sky. A heavy punch landed on the back of the corpse, followed by another.

"Ah …"

The leader of the soldiers was frightened and was stunned for a moment. He didn't have the time to go forward and stop them. Yun Ming and the rest had already gone forward to stop these people and protect Yun Zihuang, so that they wouldn't offend the princess when they were agitated.

The leader was enraged as he unsheathed his sword, "You … "How dare you, humiliate the body of the ginseng spirit, I'll kill you!"

Yun Ming and the rest drew their sabers as well. He raised his voice and said, "Princess Pingping, the President of the Military Medical Hospital is here. Who dares to make a move?"

"Gulp …" "Puff …"

The corpse that Yun Zihuang was carrying, suddenly made a sound from her throat, followed by him spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, as she panted anxiously.
