When the Thunder Emperor woke up, he found himself lying on the stone slab outside the martial arts arena, the armor on his body had been removed, only a white underwear remained, looking at the white moonlight above his head, a little bleak and desolate, the weather was still warm these days, although it was already ten in the middle of the night, but he didn't feel half a bit cool, and even a little hot. After a little movement of his body, he found that the pain all over his body was unbearable, it was the wound left by the fight with Leah during the day, although Leah had released water, but this was not something that the Thunder Emperor could resist, almost all of his body were bruises, especially the bruise on his chest, which was even more serious, and seemed to hurt his bones.

grinning, slowly from the ground, the surrounding quiet is terrible, not even a slave is there, although he is a young master, but that is only a nominal young master, in the family even a slave will not look at him, of course, for these he is no longer concerned, the most important thing now is desperate training, where do you care about the eyes of these worldly people, even if you are looked down upon by those slaves, it is not good for him. However, in the miserable time, there is no one to take care of it, this is indeed a bit sad, when he faints during the day, he just throws him on the ground, and doesn't care, which is also a little sad, gritting his teeth, the Lei team feels a little stuffy in his chest, and an indescribable sourness ripples in his heart, does the big family have no family affection? Everyone will look at people with the eyes of interests, and treat worthless people like garbage, and they don't feel the warmth of being a human being at all. With a bitter smile, the Thunder Emperor walked forward slowly.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the Thunder Emperor suddenly remembered a very important thing, today his mother went out to buy new ornaments and precious fabrics, and handed over his five-year-old brother Augusta Wind Lantern to him to take care of, but he forgot that he had been leaving his younger brother in the room, and now it was ten ten in the middle of the night, I don't know how the wind lantern was, whether my mother had come back, thinking of this, the Thunder Emperor's face became very ugly, and he quickly accelerated his speed and walked towards the courtyard, he stepped into the courtyard, and saw that the center of the courtyard was already full of people, led by a beautiful middle-aged woman, the woman was surrounded by a girl in Tsing Yi, and in the maid's arms was a slightly chubby child, who is sleeping sweetly at the moment, that child is Augusta's wind lamp.

Seeing that Feng Deng was sleeping sweetly at the moment, the Thunder Emperor exhaled with confidence, Feng Deng is his half-brother, and his stepmother is not good to him, it can be said that it is extremely bad, and his father Dessa's attitude also belongs to the kind of coldness and unreasonableness, so it leads to the stepmother's behavior becoming more and more rampant and unscrupulous, to be honest, he hates his stepmother very much, but, these have nothing to do with the young wind lamp, the Thunder Emperor is not a person who can't see things clearly, and his stepmother will never add to the wind lamp for what he does, after all, the wind lamp is his younger brother, and he has a blood relationship, the stepmother saw this clearly, so she would rest assured that she would hand over the wind lantern to him to take care of, but he forgot about this important thing. The Thunder Emperor had a hunch that his stepmother would not let him go so easily, and the menacing appearance in front of him was the best proof, but he didn't have to worry about his life being threatened for the time being, no matter how arrogant his stepmother was, it was impossible to kill him.

"Do you know what you did wrong?" The middle-aged woman clasped her hands in front of her chest, just holding up her plump breasts, looking full of seduction, and it was no wonder how she bullied the Thunder, and Desa also turned a blind eye. This woman's name is Disjua, she is the daughter of the Dis family of the Holy Empire, she is about ten years younger than Desa, she is not only in good shape, but also good looking, but her personality is a little pungent, and she is very protective, of course, the Thunder Emperor is not among the people who are protected, and she only protects her own child.

The Thunder Emperor didn't speak, he lowered his head and looked at the uneven ground, he knew that he would inevitably suffer from a meal today, he had been used to it all these years anyway, it didn't matter. As long as you don't disobey this woman, you can bear it silently, if you want to talk back, or show dissatisfied eyes, then you will suffer more severe punishment, and what's worse is that this woman is very cautious, if she feels that you are a threat, she will try her best to get rid of you, so the Thunder Emperor desperately plays the role of "bad seed", no matter how he is bullied, he behaves very "meek". He wants to hide, the deeper the better, no one can see through the best.

"Speak, why don't you speak, don't think I'll let you go easily this time. Bring me my whip. Diszhua's expression was a little hideous, stretching out a hand and waving it in mid-air, her body trembled slightly because of the excitement of emotion, her face flashed with a little cold indifference and schadenfreude pleasure, with a slight flush, the surrounding firelight jumped and shone, stretching the woman's shadow, there were no extra people in the yard, except for Diszhua, there were two green-clothed maids and four black-clothed slaves, there were no outsiders, the people here were all disjunct's lackeys, and they would never betray her, because her punishment for the betrayer was equally severe, and she could be said to be ruthless to the extreme。

One of the black-clothed servants heard Zhu Ya's words, and immediately respectfully brought a black leather whip, this whip was specially commissioned by Zhu Ya, and its only purpose was to punish the Thunder Emperor, she seemed to punish the Thunder Emperor as a daily routine, and she would come once in a while, even if the Thunder Emperor did not make a mistake, he would deliberately pick out some small faults, and Desa has often gone out on expeditions recently, which has further boosted her arrogance.

Smack!

The whip slammed into the ground, and immediately let out a crisp pop, and a pit suddenly appeared on the ground, which showed its great strength. This whip immediately made the surrounding servants and maids tremble, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Zhu Ya, and at the same time, they looked at the eyes of the Thunder Emperor, and showed a gloating expression, these people, who have lived in such a family for a long time, have become cold-blooded and indifferent, and have lost the warmth of human beings. And after hearing the heavy sound of the leather whip, the Thunder Emperor's body also trembled slightly, his fist contracted slightly, and then quickly released, and after several times in a row, the Thunder Emperor took a deep breath before slowly exhaling it, still not saying a word.

"Boy, you should understand what a sin this is, now kneel down for me at once, and let me whip you twenty lashes first, and then put you in a dungeon and sober you for some time. Zhu Ya had a smile on her face, she regarded corporal punishment of the Thunder Emperor as a kind of enjoyment, as if she was doing something happy.

Hearing these words, the Thunder Emperor's body trembled, usually she would only whip ten whips, and under normal circumstances, but today she has to whip twenty whips, the problem is that he has been so seriously injured, twenty lashes down, I'm afraid the whole person will be abolished, plus he will be imprisoned in a dungeon, where he has heard, dark and damp, it is a place where death row prisoners are held, being whipped twenty whips, in that kind of place, I am afraid that she will really die there, it seems that Zhu Ya is a little lawless this time because of the long time of the Desa expedition, maybe she thinks that even if the Thunder Emperor is killed, Desa will not blame her, she is too confident in her charm。

"Madam, please be gracious, the eldest young master has been seriously injured now, if you accept such a severe punishment, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it, you are gracious, just let the eldest young master go this time!" The Thunder Emperor knelt beside her, hearing this, his heart warmed slightly, he slowly turned his head sideways, and looked at this girl, Laner is a slave, was sold into the Augusta family ten years ago, and has been following Zhu Ya since then, although he has not said a few words to the Thunder Emperor, but ten years of getting along is quite familiar, according to the Thunder Emperor's understanding of her, this girl is a relatively kind and a little cowardly person, but I don't know what kind of motivation this time is because of the support she can help the Thunder Emperor intercede, but, for whatever reason, the Thunder Emperor's heart has been touched, and he feels the warmth he has never felt at the moment, whether it is out of sympathy or not, or some other emotion, someone sincerely pleads for himself, which in itself is enough to move him.

Zhu Ya was obviously surprised, seeing Lan Er's behavior, her expression immediately became gloomy, she felt that the appearance of this kind of thing was all due to her own lack of authority, otherwise, how could this happen. Stretched out her hand, threw a whip over, and slammed it on the ground in front of Lan Er, with a snap, the ground there was dented, Lan Er trembled, but she did not flinch, her voice trembled: "Madam, Lan Er is willing to be punished for the eldest young master." ”

"Shut up, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me, it's a big rebellion, that kid won't have less whips, not only that, but I will also punish you with ten lashes, so that you can have a long memory. Zhu Ya shouted, and the whip in his hand was about to be thrown out, at this time, the Thunder Emperor suddenly spoke, he had never spoken, but this time he spoke, for Lan'er, the only poor girl who interceded for himself, he said: "I will be punished for her." In just five words, it was said clearly and powerfully, without the slightest artificiality and hypocrisy, nor the slightest resentment and hostility, although in essence, Lan'er's appearance led to the increase of the punishment of the Thunder Emperor, but there was no resentment in the Thunder Emperor's heart.

"Young Master, don't you be like this...... Your body will not be able to stand it, or Lan'er will be punished for the eldest young master......"

"Don't speak, boy, you are serious, in that case, I will spare that little girl's life. A hint of viciousness flashed across Zhu Ya's face.

Hearing this, Lan'er's face suddenly turned pale, and tears couldn't stop flowing, the Thunder Emperor reached out and patted her head, Lan'er turned his head, the Thunder Emperor showed a gentle smile, he didn't speak, just smiled, but this smile didn't have any artificiality, this was the most real smile Lan'er had ever seen, not the hypocritical and contrived laughter she had been in the family all day long, those smiles made her feel disgusting, only the Thunder Emperor's smile made her feel a little relieved, and she felt that the world she lived in was still full of warmth。

After thirty lashes, the Thunder Emperor felt as if his body no longer belonged to him, and his soul flew to the sky, and he was carried to the dungeon by several black-clothed slaves to throw it away, and then the slaves locked the door of the dungeon and hurried away, as if something terrible would suddenly come out of this eerie ghost place.

The ground was cold stone slabs, not even hay was laid, the air was filled with a strong musty and fishy smell, and the Thunder Emperor's body was covered with blood, his skin was ulcerated, and his clothes were all covered with blood, at this moment his consciousness was very blurred, his eyelids were very heavy, and finally, he slowly closed.
