Chapter 89: Quarrel Renewed

  "How dare you, do you think you can defy military law?" Yun Zhiya looked at Su Ying, his voice colder than ice.

  "I've broken military law, I'm willing to accept my punishment! But I'll never let you, you scoundrel, carry out the execution! I won't let your filthy hands touch me again! Never!" Su Ying's small face turned red with rage.

  The incident at the Old Soldier Tavern was an unprecedented humiliation for Su Ying. In Qingyan City, she was a young lady who was admired by everyone, and had never been treated so powerless before?

  Yun Zhiya, Chen Gang, Liu Kun, Su Ying are all unforgivable.

  Ma Lian'er heard Su Ying's words, her body trembled slightly, remembering that Yun Zhiya had once teased Su Ying, her face sank, and her sharp gaze swept towards Chen Gang and Liu Kun.

  Chen Gang and Liu Kun exchanged a glance, both lowering their heads at the same time. They thought to themselves: "Haven't we already been beaten once? Must we be beaten again today?"

  Yun Zhiya's face twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Who will carry out the execution? This isn't up to you to decide!" As he spoke, his rattan whip was slowly raised.

  "Big Brother Lin!" Su Ying hastily called out.

  Lin Feng's face turned cold, and he also remembered the events of that day. Looking at Yun Zhiya's face, which was sinister to the extreme, he felt even more disgusted.

  Yun Zhiya is a decent knight, but not a good person. Su Ying was punished by military law to save herself, and Lin Feng naturally couldn't bear to see Yun Zhiya's whip fall on her body.

  "Halt!" Lin Feng suddenly shouted, his body flashing out like lightning, already arriving in front of Yun Zhiya, and with a swift motion, he snatched the rattan whip.

  "Lin Feng, what are you doing!" Yun Zhiya said in a cold voice.

  "Cloud Captain, this whip, you can't hit!" Lin Feng said bluntly, looking at Yun Zhiya.

  "Why? I'm enforcing military law, do you understand?" Yun Zhijia hummed.

  "As for Su Ying being subject to military law, everyone else can, but not you!" Lin Feng smiled reassuringly at Su Ying. "The reason is clear to both of us, and I won't repeat it. Do you think we would allow your whip to land on Su Ying's body?"

  "Lin Feng, stop messing around!" He said with a slight frown.

  "Big brother, I'm not messing around," Lin Feng said. "Today is Yuan Ce big brother's shift, and this punishment should have been carried out by him. If Yuan Ce big brother didn't want to do it, someone else could have, but Yun Zhongyan, absolutely not!"

  "How dare you! Yun is the captain of the Hawk Squad, he has every right to do so. As a warrior of the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, obedience is paramount, don't you even understand that?" **he growled.**

  "I understand, but if you're considering our emotions, then you shouldn't have picked up this whip." Lin Feng said coldly, "I've once again violated military law and am willing to accept punishment again. However, the person who carries out the whipping must be changed; otherwise, I absolutely won't accept it!"

  "Thanks a lot, Lin Ge!" Su Ying said gratefully, her face flushing with heat as she looked at Lin Feng.

  "Don't worry, I absolutely won't let him hit you, I guarantee it." Lin Feng smiled at Su Ying.

  He has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, seen various faces, and cherishes those who are truly good to him even more.

  Su Ying has a bit of a temper, but when she found out she was in danger today, knowing that going to rescue her would put his life at risk, Su Ying didn't hesitate for a moment.

  Lin Feng was also deeply moved by this friendship.

  Fang Qingxue and Su Yan were the same, today's actions, they also won Lin Feng's absolute friendship. Lin Feng would not watch them get hurt.

  Compared to Su Jing's willingness to risk his life for him, what does it matter if he takes this flogging in his place?

  Ma Lian'er saw Yun Zhiya being somewhat embarrassed and couldn't help but frown, saying: "Lin Feng, you have achieved great merit, but you can't be arrogant because of it. This attitude of yours, how can the future captain of the team lead? You little brat, when I was whipped earlier, I didn't see you stand up for me, and I almost lost my life with you!"

  Linfeng smiled awkwardly: "Linger sister, thank you for today's matter! In the future, if Linger sister has something to do, I will definitely stand on your side. However...I really have no room for retreat today, sorry!"

  "Stinky brat!" Ma Lian'er shook her head, looking at Yun Zhiya and scolding, "Old Yun, what's gotten into you? You used to be decisive, but now you're so wishy-washy. How did you become a team leader?"

  Yun Zhiya hummed and thought to himself: He is the son of Lin Heng, what can I do...

  "Lin Feng, you say it yourself!" Yun Zhiya's face sank, "You can't just disobey your superior's orders and get away with it that easily!"

  "I disobeyed orders, I'm willing to be court-martialed again. As for Su Ying's hundred lashes, I'm willing to give up all my military merit points in exchange for you sparing her!" Lin Feng said with his head held high.

  "Brother Lin!" Su Ying exclaimed gratefully, her beautiful eyes also shining with tears.

  Lin Feng's military achievements this time are absolutely a huge fortune. But he gave up all these for himself without any hesitation!

  "You guys risked your lives to save me, and now you're telling me that giving up some military merit points is a big deal?" Lin Feng said with a smile towards Su Ying.

  "Is redeeming military merit points for exemption from military law not just offsetting merits and demerits? Such things don't happen in the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry!" Yun Zhiya said in a deep voice, "Since you insist on blocking me, fine, I can give you some face! But only this once, don't think it's a precedent!"

  Yun Zhiya paused for a moment, then shouted loudly: "Lin Feng disobeyed orders and disrespected his superiors, he will be punished with 100 lashes, to be carried out immediately! Su Ying's punishment remains the same, to be carried out by Ma Lian'er, at the same time as Lin Feng's punishment! Fang Qingxue and Yuan Ce's punishments will also be carried out by Ma Lian'er!"

  "What's wrong with you, old lady?" Ma Lian'er scolded in a soft voice.

  Yun Zhiya waved her hand impatiently and left the school grounds directly.

  "Thanks, Brother Lin!" Su Ying bit her red lips, a happy smile appearing on her small face. It seemed as if she wasn't about to be punished, but was instead welcoming a grand festival.

  Lin Feng smiled slightly and casually tossed the rattan whip to Yuan Ce, then walked over to another wooden pillar and stood still.

  "You little scamp! I've never seen Old Cloud yield before!"

  Yuan Ce walked over with a bitter smile and simply tied Lin Feng to the wooden pillar. Receiving military law, no one would escape, this was just a formality.

  Ma Lian'er took a rattan whip and walked over with a shake of her head, saying to Su Ying in a low voice: "Endure it for now."

  "Ah, I'm not afraid!" Su Ying smiled sweetly, looking surprisingly delighted.

  "Adultery! There must be adultery!" Ma Lian'er cursed with a smile, and the rattan whip in her hand had already fallen on Su Ying's body.

  Su Ying's face turned red as blood, her slender body trembled slightly, and she looked at Lin Feng on another wooden pillar, a happy smile appearing on her face.

  On the other hand, Yuan Ce's whip had also fallen, but for Lin Feng, physical pain was completely negligible. In Hei Shi Town, he could already do this.

  Chen Gang and Liu Kun exchanged a glance and left the school grounds directly. They were most loyal to Yun Zhiya, wherever Yun Zhiya went, they would be there too.

  "Lin Ge, actually this whip doesn't hurt at all, hehe!" Su Ying laughed.

  "You little scamp!" Lin Feng was also speechless.

  Fang Qingxue looked at the two of them, a hint of shadow crossing her beautiful small face. Su Yan glanced at Fang Qingxue and secretly sighed in his heart.

  "Big brother, that Lin Feng is really too arrogant! Even if he has made achievements, what's the big deal? We brothers risked our lives to save them, why doesn't he take you seriously?" Chen Gang caught up with Yun Zhi Ruo, saying discontentedly.

  "He didn't ignore me, he was being considerate and righteous, understand?" Yun Zhiya said calmly, "Chen Gang, if you were Lin Feng, this girl would risk her life to save you, how would you treat her?"

  "Chen Gang was stunned."

  "Big brother, today we went to rescue, indeed a bit rash." Liu Kun said, "With your temper, big brother, if it were in the past, you might not have given such an order."

  "Liu Kun, what do you mean? Ma Lian'er... how could I possibly not go to save her?" Yun Zhiya glared.

  Chen Gang also said: "Liu Kun, are you saying that the boss is heartless and unrighteous? The boss has a true heart for Lian Er sister, don't you know?"

  Liu Kun shut his mouth and thought to himself: Which eye of yours saw that Big Brother has a sincere heart towards Lian Er sister?

  A faint smile on her face, she continued walking forward.

  "If only Malan was surrounded today... would I still go and rescue her? Unfortunately, there's no if. Dislike is dislike after all!"

  "If it were Lin Feng who was trapped today, I would have no choice but to rescue him, not just because he is my sworn brother..."

  "Tsang-lang San-zhou! One bow and four arrows!" At the thought of that mountain-like figure from years ago, Yun Zhiyan also felt a little dazed.

  Eight years have passed so quickly?

  "Eight years ago... eight years ago I didn't look so wretched, Ma Lian'er was still considered a beauty..."

  "Iron Blood Hundred Men Commander Lin Heng has saved countless knights on the battlefield, probably even he himself can't remember how many! No one knows that he once saved me, and he himself has probably already forgotten!"

  "But the ordinary knight he had saved couldn't forget it at all!"

  "This past event, I will forever bury in my heart, but, it is impossible to forget forever..."

  "Eight years have passed and Lin Heng's son has become a new knight. The current him is so similar to the Lin Heng of those years..."

  One hundred strokes of the whip, each stroke with a force of five hundred kilograms. Such punishment is unbearable for ordinary people, but the ten Knights of the Heavy Armor were still able to withstand it easily. Even Lin Feng, who had received two hundred strokes of the whip, was unscathed.

  Yun Zhiya still left a way out, otherwise, the punishment for disobeying orders on the battlefield would never be so simple.

  After the punishment was over, everyone dispersed to rest. Such injuries, although not serious, were after all superficial wounds that didn't look too good, so it was still necessary to rest for a bit.

  With the power of Zhuque Wanxiang Gong, Lin Feng's injuries were almost instantly healed. The wounds on his body surface were intentionally left behind, otherwise it would be a bit inexplicable. He didn't want to expose the secrets of Zhuque Wanxiang Gong either.

  Lin Feng changed into a new set of clothes and left the military camp of the Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry. The knights of the Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry were usually allowed to move about freely, except when they were on duty. However, most of the time, everyone stayed within the military camp. They were all strong warriors striving for power, and didn't have much time to waste on other things.

  Lin Feng made a round in Wulin City and successfully found the civilians of Wu Family Fortress near the city lord's mansion.

  The ordinary people of Wujiabao are still frightened and dare not return. The city master's mansion, as usual, provided them with some assistance, but it was also extremely limited.

  Lin Feng strode over, but the commoners barely gave him a glance, and without his heavy armor, he was unrecognizable.

  "Are you the master of Wu's Manor?" Lin Feng saw Wu Hao Ran and softly called out.

  "Huh?" Wu Haoran was taken aback, "You... you're the noble who saved us!"

  PS: This year's work has been busy, and four updates a day is really unbearable. I promised this week, I'll stick to it even if I die. Next week, I'll go back to three updates, or else it's really too much to bear. Please forgive me, everyone, it's not easy for me either. This is the second book, I don't want to write something too sloppy, so I'll focus on quality instead.
