"...Stop right there!"
Mo Han stopped, turned around and looked at Lan Ying who had called out to her. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she asked casually, "Is there something you need?"
Let's chat!
Lan Ying was so angry she almost lost her temper on the spot. Pointing at Mo Han, she shouted, "You've injured so many of my soldiers, and now you want to just walk away? Do you think my army has no one to rely on?"
Mo Han glanced at the groaning crowd on the ground and smiled wickedly, "How about I pay their medical bills, say sorry, and we'll call it even!"
Lan Ying stared at Mo Han in disbelief. After hitting someone, he still pretended to be civilized. She had never seen such a shameless person!
Seeing Lan Ying's expression, Mo Chen almost burst out laughing. He secretly glanced at Mo Han and thought to himself, "No wonder he wouldn't let me make a move or say a word along the way. It turns out that this old fox had a plan for both advancing and retreating."
"Neither of you are leaving today!" Lan Ying said angrily.
"Okay, okay, we won't leave then. Don't be angry, getting angry is bad for your health!" Mo Han said shamelessly.
Lan Ying was furious when she heard Mo Han's words. It was as if Mo Han had been waiting for her to say those words, and that they didn't actually want to leave at all!
Mo Han smiled slightly, then changed her attitude. "General, my brother and I have come from afar, hoping to make our mark. This selection competition is our last chance. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the tight schedule."
Seeing that Mo Han greeted her with a smile, Lan Ying didn't want to criticize them. Besides, their skills were obvious to all. If she kicked them out, Qing Ge would probably accuse her of driving away a real expert.
However, looking at the fallen soldiers, he realized that he had just become their leader. If he didn't stand up for them and seek justice, the soldiers' morale would collapse, leaving him in a dilemma.
Mo Han's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately saw Lan Ying's concerns. He then said to Lan Ying, "If the general still refuses to forgive my brother and me, how about... you deal with me according to military regulations?"
Hearing Mo Han's words, Lan Ying gave Mo Han a deep look. She hadn't expected that Mo Han not only possessed outstanding combat skills but also knew how to advance and retreat, and how to save face. Without refusing, Lan Ying waved her hand and pointed at Mo Han and the other man, saying, "According to military regulations, if either of you injures a soldier, you will be punished with ten strokes of the cane. There are nearly thirty people here, so I will divide the punishment equally between you two, one hundred strokes each!"
Before Mo Chen could say anything more, Mo Han waved his hand and said, "There's no need to divide it equally. I was the one who hit him, and I was the one who made the suggestion. You only need to hit me!"
Upon hearing Mo Han's words, Mo Chen made no comment. It was Mo Han who had taken action in the first place, and he was just a spectator. There was no need for him to step forward and take the blame for someone else.
Besides, he was also very eager to see the dignified Lord of the Realm being bullied by mortals.
Lan Ying frowned and looked at Mo Han, "You...do you misunderstand the meaning of this hundred strokes?"
Mo Han looked at Lan Ying with a puzzled expression.
“In my Mighty Dragon Kingdom, the punishment of caning is to break one stick with one stroke, and ten strokes with ten strokes with ten strokes. If it is not broken, it will continue until it is broken. If you promise two hundred strokes, you need to break two hundred sticks.” Lan Ying’s eyes were filled with worry for some reason.
The others looked at Mo Han with a mix of amusement and mockery, all waiting to see her back down.
However, Mo Han smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "So this is the rule the general was referring to when he mentioned caning. Please rest assured, General, since I, Mo Han, have said it, I will do it. I will accept these two hundred strokes!"
Everyone looked at Mo Han in surprise, not expecting him to be so unfazed and instead agree immediately.
The soldiers around him all looked at Lan Ying, waiting for his order.
Lan Ying now had some respect for Mo Han. He had explained everything that needed to be explained, and his face remained calm and composed. Considering his skills, it seemed there shouldn't be any problems.
Lan Ying turned to the soldiers beside him and whispered a few words, then gave the order: "Prepare for caning, and remember... choose the thinnest cane."
The soldier looked at Lan Ying with surprise, then at Mo Han, before running away.
Seeing their actions, Mo Han smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect this girl to show me any sympathy; she does have some sense."
Mo Chen looked at Mo Han with a smile and said, "I say, you really do have a fox-like smile!"
Hearing Mo Chen making sarcastic remarks from the side, Mo Han glared at him angrily, "If you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, I'll dump all the tasks on you when we get back!"
"No way! I've been working non-stop, and you still want to exploit me? Don't you have any conscience?" Mo Chen chuckled, glancing at Lan Ying intentionally or unintentionally. "If you're busy, why don't you hire a few secretaries to help you?"
Mo Han glared at Mo Chen but didn't say anything. Mo Chen had always been shrewd and could tell what others were thinking with just a glance. Mo Han even suspected that this guy had some fox blood, otherwise how could he be so cunning and treacherous!
While the two were joking around, two hundred sticks were already prepared. Mo Han glanced at the two hundred sticks and couldn't help but smile. The sticks were only as thick as a finger, which was really thin!
Mo Han's smile deepened as he watched Lan Ying's gaze grow wider. Lan Ying noticed Mo Han's gaze and blushed unexpectedly when she met his eyes. She quickly looked away.
Mo Chen chuckled, "The falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is heartless!"
Mo Han glared at her, annoyed. "Can't you just shut up or you'll die?!"
"You'd go crazy from holding it in!"
...
Seeing that the two hundred strokes of the cane were ready, Lan Ying said, "Prepare for the caning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two hundred soldiers stepped forward and formed two rows to surround Mo Han. Even Mo Chen was startled by their display, but he quickly realized: It's not like I'm being punished, why should I worry about anything!
