Chapter 13 Punishment

When Ji Nuan and the others returned to the inn, it was already dark, and at this time she was standing by the window and looking at the bright moon in the sky, but her heart was full of thoughts. If she didn't interfere in Meng Yan's affairs, what would be the ending? Can Meng Yan have a good life in the Western Regions? How should she explain when she goes back? And how should she face Song Wangchen?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue, and in a blink of an eye, I saw someone on the street buying candy.

"If you feel that life is bitter, then eat a piece of sugar, if you still feel bitter, then eat another one." This is what Ji Yang often says to her.

When she saw that everyone else was asleep, she secretly bought a few bags and put them in the Qiankun bag, and after eating one, she could finally sleep in peace.

Two days later, the three statues in the "Qingyue Palace" were still sitting on the main hall, and the disciples who had returned from the border city to eliminate demons gathered in the hall.

I saw that the three statues did not have the slightest joy because they completed the task, on the contrary, they all looked serious.

"Song Wangchen, you are so bold, since you ignore the precepts of Duxi and meddle in the affairs of the royal family without authorization." Zhu Yuanzhi's voice was like thunder, deeply shaking everyone's hearts.

Obviously, they already knew about it, Ji Nuan just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"The disciple knows his mistake, and the disciple is willing to be punished." Ji Nuan didn't want to quibble, although she didn't feel that she was wrong.

Everyone in the hall had different expressions, some were worried and some were overjoyed, and Zhu Changqin looked like he was watching a good show, which was what he told Zhi Zhuzun.

"Okay, then you can go to the Discipline Hall to receive the punishment! When I get rid of your cultivation, you will leave on your own, and you will have nothing to do with Twilight Creek from now on. ”

The precepts of Dusk Creek, anyone who interferes in the affairs of the royal family without permission, and the circumstances are serious, should be abolished from cultivation and expelled from Duxi Creek.

Cheng Jin looked at Ji Nuan, he didn't expect her to be so bold, not only caught the resentful spirit, but also interfered in the affairs of the royal family, but Song Wangchen was his beloved disciple after all, how could he abolish his cultivation because of Ji Nuan's fault.

Song Wangchen's face was also difficult to see at this time, what is the difference between scrapping and cultivating, and being a waster.

Ji Nuan didn't expect the matter to be so serious, if she lost her cultivation because she caused Song Wangchen, then she would be a big sin, she wanted to explain, but Cheng Jin spoke first.

"Senior brother, although it is wrong to forget the dust, but he has made a lot of contributions to catching the resentful spirit this time, although the merits and demerits cannot be offset, but fortunately, it did not cause a big disaster, is this punishment heavier. ”

Zhu Yuanzhi knew that Cheng Jin had always been kind-hearted, and Song Wangchen was his most proud disciple, so he naturally protected his shortcomings. "Even if there is merit in eliminating demons, a mistake is a mistake." There was no room for negotiation between his words.

Mei Qinghan couldn't bear it, and said: "Senior brothers, this matter has happened, but as a disciple of Duxi River, Wuchen has always obeyed the precepts, presumably this time it is also related to my Meifeng disciple, so he has no choice but to intervene, and I hope that the senior brother will be lightly punished." ”

Cheng Jin echoed: "Yes, junior brother, Meng Yan is also my disciple of Duxi, although this matter is a matter of the royal family, it is also a matter of my Duxi." ”

Seeing this, everyone also pleaded one after another: "If there is a mistake, Xiaorou, as the daughter of the head of the family, failed to prevent her senior brother from making mistakes in time, and she also made mistakes with her senior brother, and Xiaorou is willing to share the crime with her senior brother." ”

"Master, Jiang Yu also participated, and Jiang Yu was willing to be punished. ”

"Tang is willing to be punished." Tang Yanyan saw that Cheng Xiaorou said so, and he also pleaded with them.

"The disciples are willing to be punished." His Royal Highness's disciples, except for Zhu Changqin, Li Qingyuan, and Yu Man, all knelt down to plead for mercy, but Song Wangchen still stood, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"You, you...". Zhu Changzhi stood up and pointed angrily at His Highness, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Cheng Jin said at the right time: "Okay, junior brother, everyone has admitted their mistakes in this matter, I think forget it!"

"Forget it, if this matter is settled, then how can I, Duxi, be powerful, and how should I explain to the people of the world?" Zhu Yuanzhi was already angry.

"In this matter, forget the dust is at fault first, since he should be punished heavily, it is better to punish him with a hundred rods, and then think about it for a month, what does the senior brother think?" Mei Fenghan did not take sides in this remark, but it was a good suggestion.

"Okay, let's do this thing, forget the dust, and take the punishment!" Cheng Jin couldn't help Zhu Yuanzhi to open his mouth and take the lead in responding, and Zhu Yuanzhi wanted to say anything more, but he waved his hand.

"Yes, Master". Ji Nuan got up and left after kowtowing lightly, she knew that the cane punishment was not a trivial matter, but if she could protect his cultivation, even if she was beaten.

When everyone was still about to plead again, Ji Nuan shook his head at them, and when he walked to Song Wangchen's side, he smiled at him with relief. Song Wangchen looked at her distant back and followed without hesitation.

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't dare to say more, Cheng Xiaorou was even more uneasy, "Father, Xiaorou is willing to be punished with his senior brother." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Changqin was very angry, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped.

"Presumptuous, is it child's play that you deserve to be punished? You, and you, have all gone back and thought about it behind closed doors." Cheng Jin pointed at Cheng Xiaorou, and then pointed at Jiang Yu and Tang Yanyan.

Zhu Yuanzhi glared at Jiang Yu, turned around and left angrily. Everyone also left, Cheng Jin and Mei Qinghan glanced at each other, and they were relieved, the matter was over.

"I'm sorry, I almost hurt you." Ji Nuan saw Song Wangchen coming up, turned around and stopped to apologize to him, she always wanted to apologize, but she didn't have a chance to speak all the way.

Song Wangchen didn't say a word, he couldn't see any expression on his face, and continued to walk towards the Zhufeng Discipline Hall. He's still angry, and he has a reason to be angry, isn't he?

Seeing him moving forward, Ji Nuan wanted to say more, but after all, he gave up, what else could he say?

In the precept hall, Ji Nuan knelt on the ground, waiting to be punished, in front of him was the ranking of the ancestors of the past dynasties of Duxi, and on the copywriting next to him was a cane stick. The cane is about two meters large, as thick as a child's arm, so you can imagine how painful it must be to go down with a cane.

Ji Nuan was also startled when she saw it, and she didn't know if she could hold it with a hundred sticks, so Song Wangchen stood at the door, looking at her without saying a word.

Ji Nuanxin said: "He must have come to see me to be punished on purpose, maybe he wants to do it himself." Forget it, who let me ruin the reputation of others first, and I should be punished. ’

Just as they were thinking wildly, Zhu Yuanzhi and Zhu Changqin walked in. Zhu Yuanzhi gave a look, and Zhu Changqin walked over with a cane and stick, this time he was punished, he was happy in his heart, and he could finally declare his personal vendetta.

"Let's do it!"

Zhu Changqin received the order without hesitation is a stick, Ji Nuan was immediately knocked to the ground, this stick he obviously had a lot of strength, "one", he counted proudly.

Ji Nuan stubbornly straightened up, followed by one stick after another.

"Two, three, four... Thirty".

At this time, Ji Nuan's white school uniform had already been soaked in blood, but she still gritted her teeth and didn't let herself make a sound, she didn't want to show weakness and didn't want to damage Song Wangchen's reputation anymore, if Song Wuchen was punished, she wouldn't make any sound!

Song Wangchen looked at everything in front of him, he never thought that she had such concentration, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Forty, forty-one... Fifty", when Zhu Changqin counted fifty, Ji Nuan finally couldn't bear it and fell to the ground again.

Zhu Changqin looked at him with a sneer, and said in his heart: "See how long you can last, even if you don't die this time, you will have to shed a layer of skin." ’

Ji Nuan got up again, and Zhu Chang continued to count: "Fifty..."

"Stop". Song Wangchen interrupted before he finished speaking. Several people were stunned for a moment, what did she want to do? I saw him walk up to Ji Nuan and kneel down and say, "I will take the rest of the punishment."

What, he actually wanted to help himself be punished, Ji Nuan turned his head to look at him with difficulty, only to see that his eyes were firm and he did not hesitate.

"What kind of thing are you?" Zhu Changqin said disdainfully, he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, the woman in front of him actually wanted to help, and he would never allow it.

Song Wangchen raised his head, glared at him fiercely, and said viciously: "It has nothing to do with you", Zhu Changqin was actually taken aback by her aura, he saw Song Wangchen's unique fierceness and ruthlessness in her eyes.

"I also participated in the affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Regions, and I was punished because of this, please punish Zhizhuzun." Song Wangchen's attitude is still resolute.

Zhu Yuanzhi snorted coldly: "Okay, that's it, then punish and punish together~"

Then Zhu Changqin began to raise his staff again, and counted proudly: "One, two, three...... Fifty. ”

Song Wangchen's punishment could only be exchanged for Ji Nuan's temporary suspension, and then he hit Ji Nuan on the back one after another.

"Fifty-one, fifty-two...... Sixty".

Ji Nuan couldn't hold on any longer, and she might faint at any time, Song Wangchen saw this, stepped forward to support her, and protected her in front of her. In the eyes of outsiders, such a move is that Ji Nuan is protecting Song Wangchen.

"Sixty-one...... Seventy-seven". Zhu Changqin beat the stick harder than the stick, and said in his heart: 'What kind of virtue can he Song forget Chen, and let them treat him like this one by one'. Ji Nuan is like this, and Cheng Xiaorou doesn't want to be like this.

At this time, the cane and stick completely hit Song Wangchen's body, Ji Nuan couldn't feel the pain, but the tears couldn't stop flowing, she hurt him, but he protected her.

"Ninety-nine, one hundred". Zhu Changqin had finished punishing, but he didn't want to stop, and hit Song Wangchen with a stick.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhi waved his hand, turned around and stopped looking at them, and Zhu Changqin had no choice but to stop no matter how unwilling he was.

Song Wangchen and Ji Nuan helped each other to get up and walked out, Cheng Xiaorou saw them come out and immediately greeted them, and was a little surprised to see Song Wangchen actually helping Ji Nuan, and when he saw that both of them were seriously injured, he regretted even more that he should not have been punished with his senior brother.

"Senior brother, Senior Sister Ji, are you okay"?

"I'm fine". Ji Nuan smiled bitterly and shook her head, reassuring Cheng Xiaorou.

Tang Yanyan has been staying outside the precept hall with Cheng Xiaorou, he didn't feel good when he saw Ji Nuan's appearance, what Ji Nuan had done recently really made him dumbfounded, a woman had such guts.

Ji Nuan also felt that her actions with Song Wangchen were a little inappropriate, and she was busy keeping her distance from Song Wangchen, she didn't want Cheng Xiaorou to misunderstand, she knew Cheng Xiaorou's intentions.

"Senior brother...", Cheng Xiaorou shed two lines of tears before she finished speaking, she quickly turned around to prevent her senior brother from seeing her embarrassment at this time, and reached out to wipe her tears.

It's just that no matter how she wipes it, the tears still continue to flow down uncontrollably, she is really distressed, she doesn't know how many times she cried when Song Wangchen was seriously injured last time, so much that she forgot about herself.

Seeing this, Ji Nuan comforted: "Senior sister, I'm fine."

Song Wangchen walked alone without understanding the amorous feelings, Ji Nuan looked at his lonely back, and a strange feeling surrounded his heart.

Cheng Xiaorou finally turned around, forced a smile, and took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, "Senior brother, this is the wound medicine I took from Mu Ran, you can use it!"

"Thank you". After Ji Nuan finished speaking, she walked towards Siguo Cliff without looking back, and if she stayed for a moment longer, Cheng Xiaorou would only be more sad.

Song Wangchen once took her to familiarize herself with all the places in Duxi River, but she was afraid that she would ruin his reputation by revealing her stuff, but now she still hurt him after all.
