Since the young nobleman of the Mu family's admiration for His Highness Prince Rui is known to the world, why does the latter deliberately get close to him? According to Mu Qingge, Qin Jinhao takes the initiative most of the time.
Although, he didn't show any affection. However, for a girl who had to conceal her identity, such closeness undoubtedly made her dependent and nostalgic.
"I am a useless person, born unable to practice. If I were not arrogant and domineering, I am afraid that Mu Mansion would have become bullied by everyone." Mu Qingge seemed to be defending himself.
However, these words were met with a sneer from Mu Ge: "You are only relying on your grandfather's power. If the old man is gone one day, do you think that your arrogance and domineering behavior will allow you to continue to keep the Yongning Palace?" Reputation?"
"I know." Unexpectedly, Mu Qingge did not become angry, but lowered her eyes: "So, I..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sudden sound of drums interrupted Mu Qingge's next words.
"What's going on?" Mu Ge looked outside the tent where the drum sound was coming from and asked with raised eyebrows.
Mu Qingge bit her lip and said, "It's the sound of drums from the military gathering. It must be Grandpa's order."
Before the words dissipated, Mu Ge saw the curtain of the tent being opened from the outside, and two soldiers wearing light armor and tense expressions appeared in front of her.
The eyebrows were raised again, but Mu Ge did not speak.
"My young lord, the old general invites you." The two men said sonorously.
In the army, they are still more accustomed to calling Mu Xiong general.
Mu Ge licked his lips and jumped up. He casually flicked his slightly wrinkled clothes and walked out of the tent with an upright posture.
Her steps were leisurely and her head held high, as if even the mountain of swords and fire ahead could not make her frown.
The two soldiers who came under orders looked at each other, a little surprised in each other's eyes. The person in front of them seemed to be a little different from the young prince they were familiar with.
He actually didn't rebuke them
Walked out automatically and consciously
The two soldiers said with grief and anger in their hearts: "Little Sir, shouldn't you have pointed at the tip of our noses and cursed us, then kicked us twice, making us kneel in front of you to apologize, and then reluctantly moved away?" It's illogical for you to leave so happily! '
It's a pity that Mu Ge couldn't hear the voices of these two people. Following the sound of the drum, she was wondering what Mu Xiong was planning to do.
Step by step, Muge's eyes became brighter and brighter.
However, in less than an hour, an orderly military camp rose up in the originally deserted place. Patrolling guards, open and covert sentries all perform their duties. It can be seen that Mu Xiong's ability to lead troops is not just a boast.
The war drum stood in the open space outside the central tent, while Mu Xiong sat in the main seat, with the Rui King Qin Jinhao in a python robe on his right. The other soldiers who came with the army stood on both sides.
Not only that, soldiers without military rank also lined up in formation, standing like steel spears without making a sound.
Mu Ge glanced around and landed on a high platform facing Mu Xiong.
It's said to be a high platform, but it's only three feet above the ground.
But there are two pillars standing on the square platform. There are two iron rings nailed to the pillar. There was another person standing on the high platform. His upper body was naked and his muscles were as tight as a hill. He stood astride, holding a long whip as thick as a baby's wrist, with a cold expression.
Mu Ge's eyebrows jumped, and a bad premonition came over him.
"Mu Qingge, why don't you kneel down!" Mu Xiong suddenly shouted, causing Mu Ge to look over.
"Why?" Mu Ge's beautiful but young face showed no fear. She just looked at Mu Xiong calmly. Her thin figure was as straight as a sword, neither humble nor arrogant.
Mu Xionghu was stunned, but he quickly felt a hint of appreciation for his grandson's performance. "Hmph! You left the capital without authorization, got involved in the battlefield, and caused the innocent deaths of five hundred personal guards. Don't you still know that you were wrong?"
Mu Xiong is a man who loves soldiers, and every soldier under his command is like his nephew. He wanted to punish Mu Qingge, not just for show. But Mu Qingge had to give an explanation and give justice to the dead soldiers. More importantly, he wanted Mu Qingge to understand the price of acting willfully.
The words were mixed with inner energy, which made Mu Ge's blood surge.
However, she was not angry at all, let alone objected.
She was silent.
But Qin Jinhao, who was sitting on the right side of Mu Xiong, spoke up: "Sir, five hundred heroes died in the Sunset Wasteland. Qingge must be sad. Now that he has just suffered a catastrophe, please ask him to be given a lighter sentence."
After speaking, he looked at Mu Qingge. However, I did not see the expected expressions of gratitude and admiration.
Qin Jinhao was stunned, suppressing the disgust in his heart, and gently twisted his fingers on the armrest. It seemed that something was escaping his control.
Mu Xiong glanced at Qin Jinhao, then looked at Mu Ge, and asked, "Mu Qingge, do you think this matter has been revealed like this?" There was a hint of nervousness in his words, as if he was afraid of his grandson. His answer disappointed him and chilled all the soldiers.
It doesn't matter that the direct grandson of the Mu family has a useless constitution. As long as he can convince all the soldiers, even if he dies one day, the grandson can protect himself. But…
"How will grandpa be punished?" Mu Ge asked calmly. It seemed that Qin Jinhao's plea for mercy was not heard at all.
"One hundred whips." Mu Xiong replied.
This answer attracted the attention of everyone. Everyone seemed to be guessing whether Mu Qingge's small body could withstand the punishment of a hundred whips.
Mu Ge pursed his lips, turned around without saying a word, and strode towards the execution platform.
Everyone was silent, even Qin Jinhao, who was calculating in his heart, was waiting for her next move.
Mu Ge climbed up to the high platform, and did not stand between the two pillars. Instead, he faced all the soldiers below, stood astride with his hands behind his back, and said calmly to the executioner: "Old General, I will punish you with a hundred, I will add another hundred, and I will give you five comforts." Bai Yingling! Fight!"
