Chapter Ninety-Eight: Accept the Punishment Calmly

Wang Xueqing thought: "If the senior brother tries his best to protect me, everyone is not convinced, although they didn't say it, but it will be difficult to unite everyone, besides, this is a mistake I made, let me be punished and let the senior brother stand firm, why not?"

The hall was suddenly silent, thinking that Wang Xueqing, a delicate woman, was willing to accept the punishment, and even Chen Shilu didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Hanqing pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, little junior sister, listen." Wang Xueqing knelt down and said: "The disciple is deeply guilty, and I would like to listen to the punishment of the senior brother." Zhao Hanqing said: "The little junior sister was sent to kill He Zhentian by mistake, and she was beaten with eighty sticks, thinking that you are a weak girl, reduce it to fifty sticks, and if you commit it again next time, you will be punished according to the punishment, you can be convinced." "There was an uproar in the palace, and the eighty sticks were unbearable even if they were strong and strong, let alone this little junior sister? Although Zhao Hanqing thought of the friendship of the master and lost thirty sticks, but it was not easy to take down fifty sticks, and everyone's eyes were on Wang Xueqing to see how she agreed.

Wang Xueqing bowed down and said: "Senior brother is selfless, but he shouldn't have commuted my sentence, eighty sticks, I am willing to accept it." ”

Everyone was in an uproar again, thinking that the senior brother would be kind and lenient, how could the little junior sister not know what to do, and insisted on suffering eighty sticks, wasn't she frightened and confused?

Zhao Hanqing said: "No, no, it's not eighty, it's fifty." Wang Xueqing said with a smile: "I deserve eighty sticks for my crimes, thank you senior brother for worrying about me, I can still bear only eighty sticks, law enforcement disciples, use punishment!" The two strong disciples came up with the torture sticks and stood on both sides of Wang Xueqing, it seemed that they were law enforcement disciples. Wang Xueqing lay on the bench and said, "Use the torture." The two law enforcement disciples lifted their arm-thick torture sticks and were about to be beaten. Zhao Hanqing said: "Wait, little junior sister, you broke into the formation by mistake because of me, these eighty sticks should have been suffered by me on your behalf." When everyone heard this, they all said: "Senior brother, no, you have already been injured, and as soon as you take dozens of sticks, then you can pay it back, no, never." Suddenly, a person in the crowd rushed forward and said, "Little junior sister, I am willing to be punished on your behalf." "When he saw that his beloved was going to be punished, it was worse than beating himself.

Wang Xueqing smiled and said, "Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, thank you for your kindness, I am so happy." He turned to the two law enforcement disciples and said, "Please torture hard, if any of the sticks are not heavy enough and not painful enough, please beat them." "Those two law enforcement disciples are forty and two, since they took charge of the law enforcement position at the age of twenty, they have not seen any scenes, most of them cry and make trouble, and there are not a few who refuse to be punished, the most unbearable thing for them is that the respected elders have broken the rules, and when they are punished, their faces often do not change, they are not sound, and they have been beaten with a cane, as if they have not been beaten, so the disciples in the sect are afraid of seeing the law enforcement disciples, and they are most afraid of the punishment of the elders. How do you know that this delicate little sister actually asked them to fight with a smile, and asked to fight as hard as possible, this posture is the first time I have ever seen, the two looked at each other, the hall was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of an embroidery needle falling on the ground could be heard.

The two law enforcement disciples hesitated slightly, the two of them were serious, although they felt strange, but they didn't think much about it, snap, each of them hit a stick, snap, and then each hit a stick.

Zhao Hanqing turned his head, Zheng Zhicheng kept asking beside Wang Xueqing: "Little junior sister, does it hurt?" Wang Xueqing just shook his head, Zheng Zhicheng was relieved, and said: "If you can't stand it, you can scream, and I will be punished on your behalf." The faces of everyone in the palace were moved, watching Wang Xueqing gradually open their skin and flesh when they were beaten, and they couldn't help shaking their heads, even Chen Shilu, who was trying his best to instigate, changed color slightly, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Everyone in the hall was silent, except for the crackling sound of the rod hitting Wang Xueqing, in addition, Zheng Zhicheng counted: "One five, one ten...... Thirty, forty ...... Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, okay, don't hit the last stick too hard, the little junior sister is going to faint. Zheng Zhicheng glared at him, helped Wang Xueqing up, and asked, "Little junior sister, are you okay?" Wang Xueqing smiled reluctantly and said, "No...... It's okay. Zheng Zhicheng was shocked, pinched her middle, and did not wake up, fortunately she was still breathing, but it was extremely weak. Zheng Zhicheng hurriedly picked her up and said, "Little junior sister, you stand up, I won't let you have anything to do." He spoke firmly, but his voice trembled slightly. The crowd was infected by this scene and gave way one after another.

Zhao Hanqing snorted, brushed his sleeves and walked out of the hall, if it were someone else, after the punishment was finished, he would definitely call on everyone to unite and deal with He Zhentian together, but at this time, it was the little junior sister who was punished, and he was the eldest brother in his heart, plus Wang Xueqing's life and death were unpredictable after being tortured, where would he still be in the mood to pay attention? Everyone in the palace didn't feel good in their hearts, it was common sense for Wang Xueqing to be punished for making mistakes, but from beginning to end, no one was happy about this, but their hearts became heavy and dispersed.

Zhao Hanqing walked out of the hall, and unconsciously came to Wang Xueqing's room, so he knocked on the door and went in, and saw Zheng Zhicheng serving on the side, and the little junior sister had not woken up yet. Zhao Hanqing looked around, and saw that the little junior sister's boudoir was delicately and elegantly arranged, and there were a few strings of colorful wind chimes hanging on the bed.

At this moment, Wang Xueqing opened her eyes slightly, saw Zheng Zhicheng, her heart was happy, and she was about to sit up when she saw Zhao Hanqing, the senior brother was a rare guest, and he had never entered her room, let alone her intended person, how not to make her excited. Zheng Zhicheng hurriedly said: "Little junior sister, don't be naughty, you are so seriously injured, lie down and rest quickly." ”

Zhao Hanqing went over and held her hand and said, "Little junior sister, I made you suffer this time. Wang Xueqing's body was very weak, she shook the pain strongly, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you don't have to worry about me, I don't hurt, I'm ...... It's a pleasure. Zhao Hanqing was stunned for a moment, and thought: "She has received such a heavy punishment, how can she say that it is not painful? How can she say that she is happy?" said: "Little junior sister, the senior brother punished you, you feel uncomfortable, don't you?" Wang Xueqing said busily. "No, no, senior brother, this is what I deserve, if it is punished by the master, it may be even heavier, the senior brother takes good care of me, I am grateful to you before it is too late, how can I blame you?" Zhao Hanqing patted her on the shoulder and said, "These few days, lie down and recuperate, don't have any three long and two short, otherwise, how can the senior brother be happy?" turned to Zheng Zhicheng and said: "Seventh junior brother, you have to take care of the little junior sister." Zheng Zhicheng couldn't ask for it, so he agreed repeatedly, and Zhao Hanqing turned around and went out.

After three days, all the injuries on Zhao Hanqing's body had improved, and he gathered all the disciples into the hall to discuss, saying that although He Zhentian fled in embarrassment this time, I am afraid that he will be unwilling, and he will almost die, and he hates the Taishan faction even more, so it will not be long before he will make a comeback, please make suggestions to stop it. When the disciples saw that Stonehenge could not help him, they were all frightened, thinking that he would have to come again, how could they stop him, and they discussed for a long time, but there was no good plan.

Zhao Hanqing thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good plan, and said: "Although He Zhentian's martial arts are strong, but the eight of our senior brothers are all on the mountain, if he comes again, he has to repeat the old tricks and use the Spirit Wind Seven Star Array to deal with him." Everyone remembered that the Wuyue Sword Sect was frustrated at the conference that day, and finally the eight brothers of Zhao Hanqing unleashed the Spirit Wind Seven Star Array, and finally blocked He Zhentian from binding his hands and feet, knowing that the power of the Spirit Wind Seven Star Array was extraordinary, he nodded secretly, and someone said: "If you can use the sword array to block him, it is naturally the best, if you can't stop him, everyone will be on the same page, I don't believe that although he He Zhentian's martial arts are high, is it true that he has three heads and six arms? The rest of the people agreed, saying that He Zhentian was insidious and ruthless, and there was no need to tell him any rules of the rivers and lakes, even if everyone didn't want their lives, they would hack him to death first.

Zhao Hanqing came out of the main hall, thinking that Wang Xueqing's injury was not well, he paced outside her room, and was about to knock on the door to enter, when he heard that there was someone inside, it was Zheng Zhicheng, the seventh junior brother, so he stopped. I only heard Wang Xueqing say: "Seventh Senior Brother, in fact, I am almost good, I can go out for a walk by myself, I want you to take care of me like this, I ...... Zheng Zhicheng said: "No, where is your injury healed, I see that your wound still feels pain when you walk, if you go out for a walk, if you affect the wound again, I am afraid that it will take a few more days to recuperate, so why bother." Wang Xueqing said: "I can't go out, what happened to them, senior brother, I haven't seen them for a day, I'm very upset, even if I fight to break the wound, I have to go out for a walk." Zhao Hanqing's heart moved, and he said in his heart: "The little junior sister is just beginning to love, is it really interested in me?" But I am a master of the family, and I am only a senior brother and sister friendship with her, but I can't let her worry about it, this seventh junior brother seems to be in love with her again, alas, little junior sister, the seventh junior brother loves you deeply, can't you see it?" Sure enough, Zheng Zhicheng said: "No, the senior brother ordered, you are not allowed to do anything except recuperate quietly in the past few days." Wang Xueqing said aggrievedly: "Recuperate from your injuries, people have already recovered." But as soon as Zheng Zhicheng moved out of the name of the senior brother, Wang Xueqing didn't shout anymore to go out. Zhao Hanqing said secretly: "I hope you can understand the true feelings of the seventh junior brother and grow old together." "Quietly gone
