Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1054 Now, I want to settle with you
"Laojiu!"

Amid Shentu Tai's exclamation, there was a "clang" sound, and Shan Shiyu's long sword hit the two raised copper hammers.

Although the blow was not extremely powerful, it was extremely heavy, causing both men's arms to become numb and their knuckles to crack. Shan Shiyu had never expected that such a small child could have the strength to lift two such heavy copper hammers. He looked at the child who blocked him with some surprise.

At the same time, Mu Xian and Nie Chong, who had already run far away, saw this scene and shouted in shock: "Good boy!"

But their exclamations failed to reverse the situation. The good boy shouted and fell off the horse!

"Laojiu!"

Shentu Tai was completely anxious at this moment, and swung his spear vigorously to chop at Shan Shiyu. After a moment of shock, Shan Shiyu immediately came to his senses and raised the long sword in his hand to block. With a crisp sound, he was almost knocked backwards by Shentu Tai's powerful force. The base of his hand was almost cracked to the back of his hand, and blood was flowing. He could hardly fight anymore. When Shentu Tai swung his spear and was about to stab again, he heard Shan Tong'er's cry of pain from the ground.

Upon hearing his voice, Shentu Tai's movements suddenly slowed down. Taking advantage of this moment, Shan Shiyu immediately turned his horse's head and ran back.

The horse he was riding was also a good one, and it ran a long distance in a short time.

At this time, Yuwen Ye also rode up on horseback.

He did not chase after him, but stopped beside Shentu Tai, watching Shan Shiyu riding his horse and waving his hands. The soldiers he brought with him did not dare to fight, let alone move forward, and they all went around behind him to protect him, and they all ran quickly towards Hulao Pass.

Shentu Tai immediately looked at the bow in Yuwen Ye's hand.

He was still holding the Divine Arm Bow, which could shoot farther than an ordinary bow. If he fired at this moment—

"Ouch!"

The good boy's voice rang in his ears again. He rolled several times on the ground before barely avoiding the horse's hooves. When he looked up, he saw several scratches on his face and forehead, and the skin was broken and bleeding.

He immediately said: "Your Highness, I——"

Yuwen Ye just glanced at him without saying anything, then looked up and looked forward.

Shen Tutai said solemnly, "Your Highness, are you not going to chase us anymore?"

"..."

Yuwen Ye said: "It's getting late, let's go back first."

After that, he said nothing more, shook the reins, turned the horse's head and went back. Shentu Tai glanced at him, then looked down at Shan Tong'er who had barely climbed up - although he had several injuries on his head and body, and looked a little embarrassed, but he was able to stand up without any vital injuries - he said solemnly: "Hurry up and get on the horse, we should not stay here for long."

"……Oh."

The kind boy lowered his head as if feeling guilty, responded with a single word, and immediately jumped onto the horse.

On the other side, the two troops chasing Mu Xian and Nie Chong saw that Master Shan was retreating, so they did not dare to fight. Besides, they did not gain anything good from this battle, so they withdrew immediately. Yuwen Ye led a group of people back to the camp almost unscathed, except for Shan Tong'er who was a little embarrassed and his own quiver was empty of arrows.

As soon as we entered the camp, it got dark.

Bonfires had been lit in various places in the camp, and the cooks were busy cooking for the soldiers. Yuwen Ye handed Liu Qing to a few soldiers and walked into the big tent without looking back.

As soon as we sat down in the big tent, someone brought us hot soup and hot food.

Shentutai, Shan Tong'er, Mu Xian and others followed him into the big tent. Everyone looked at him in silence. Shan Tong'er hesitated for a long time, then knelt down with a plop: "Your Highness, I - I know I was wrong."

Shentu Tai whispered, "It's a sin."

The kind boy lowered his head and said, "I admit my guilt."

Yuwen Ye looked at him and said, "I told you not to go, why didn't you obey the military order?"

"me--"

"Soldiers on the battlefield must not only fight hard, but also learn to obey orders. Did you learn this today?"

"I admit my guilt, Your Highness. Please punish me." Nie Chong on the side glanced at him and said nothing. Shentu Tai and Mu Xian immediately stepped forward to plead for him. After all, at that time, both sides were fighting desperately and they really could not take care of military orders.

Mu Xian said softly again: "Your Highness, we still have a way to deal with Shan Shiyu."

Yuwen Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "Go down and receive twenty military sticks."

Although twenty military sticks was a punishment, it was not too severe. Compared with his usual harsh punishments, Yuwen Ye was indeed merciful to the child. Shan Tong'er immediately kowtowed and Nie Chong followed him out of the tent.

Shentu Tai stayed behind and looked at Yuwen Ye with a serious expression: "Your Highness, that good teacher Yu——"

Yuwen Ye said: "We'll think of another way. You all go down and have a rest."

"Yes."

Shentu Tai bowed and left the tent with Mu Xian.

It quickly got dark.

After being beaten with twenty military sticks, Shan Tong'er limped back to his tent. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw a straight figure sitting inside. It was Nie Chong.

He was a little surprised: "Brother Nie, why are you——"

Nie Chong said: "Let me see you. Does it hurt?"

Shan Tong'er lowered his head with a guilty conscience, and said as he climbed onto the bed, "Of course it hurts, you should try taking twenty blows of the military stick. Oh, they knew I was a child, but they didn't show mercy, and I usually eat meat with them."

Nie Chong stepped aside and watched him crawling onto the bed with his buttocks swollen high. He then said, "Your Highness has shown mercy by only beating you with twenty military sticks. If the executioner shows mercy again, will he still be in charge of this army?"

"Well……"

"Lie down, I'll apply medicine on you."

"Hey."

Shan Tong'er lay down obediently and took off his pants by himself. Sure enough, his buttocks were red and swollen from being beaten, but fortunately there was no skin breakage or bleeding. He should be able to get out of bed after a few days of rest, and it would not hinder him from riding a horse to fight, so he took out some medicine and applied it to him.

Shan Tong'er said with a smile: "Brother Nie is still good to me."

While Nie Chong was applying medicine to him, he whispered, "What did you yell when you fell off the horse just now?"

"..."

Shan Tong'er was silent for a moment, then said, "I shouted 'Ah'."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and put it in front of him. The cracked palm of his hand revealed bright red flesh. He said, "It hurts so much. But I didn't expect that I would be beaten again after returning. It hurts even more. Ouch..."

"..."

Nie Chong was also silent for a moment, then asked, "So, what did you say to Master Shan before you fell off the horse?"

"..."

This time, it was not silence, but suffocation.

The good boy even stopped breathing.

After a long while, he forced a smile and said, "I, I didn't—"

Before he finished speaking, Nie Chong said, "You know I have good hearing. In fact, I could hear what you said to me on the mountain even though I was covered with a blanket. I just didn't care."

"..."

"But now, I'm going to settle with you."
