what happened?
Just now, it was clearly General He pointing his sword at Mo Beichen, how did it turn into General He kneeling in front of Mo Beichen in the blink of an eye?
He Ming realized what was happening and felt a mix of fear and anger.
Mo Beichen's strength is actually that great? He was completely powerless to fight back.
No, he was just unprepared. Mo Beichen actually dared to make things difficult for him in public, which infuriated him.
Mo Beichen was too lazy to argue with him and simply walked past him and left.
After Mo Beichen had walked away, Sheng Tianque suddenly spoke up, "Haven't you knelt enough yet?"
He Ming was startled awake by Sheng Tianque's voice and was about to stand up when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee.
"Ouch, my knee? Someone, quickly summon a doctor." He Ming had a bad feeling and immediately dared not move.
Wei Chi's expression changed, and he walked over to He Ming, taking his arm. "What happened?"
He Ming shook his head. "I don't know. My knees hurt terribly whenever I move."
When the doctor arrived, he was somewhat stunned by what he saw.
General He, what's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling on the ground?
"What a coward. A few of you, lift him up." Long Tianque glanced at He Ming with disdain, his brows furrowed.
Several soldiers immediately stepped forward, lifted He Ming up, and gently placed him on the open ground to the side.
"Dr. He, please take a look at my knee. What's wrong with it? Why does it hurt so much when I exert myself?" He Ming cried out.
Dr. He carefully examined He Ming and found nothing unusual.
"Impossible, my knee hurts terribly when I try to lift my leg." He Ming said incredulously, asking him to give him another thorough check-up.
The doctor frowned.
But recalling how He Ming had been sweating profusely from the pain when he tried to lift his leg, he hesitated for a moment.
He lowered his head and carefully examined He Ming again, but the examination results still showed that there was no problem.
"Impossible, General! That Mo Beichen must have drugged me! General, you must do justice for me!" He Ming lay on the ground, turning his head with difficulty to look at Long Tianque's location.
Long Tianque stood up and walked over to He Ming. He saw that He Ming's knees were red but not broken.
He looked He Ming over carefully again and saw that He Ming's forehead was still covered in sweat and his face was pale.
"Dr. He, is there really nothing wrong with his knee?" Long Tianque frowned.
Doctor He stood up, bowed to Long Tianque, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, "General, I have practiced medicine for half my life and have seen all kinds of cases. I dare to guarantee with my life that General He's knee is perfectly fine."
Long Tianque gave He Ming a deep look.
He Ming felt a jolt in his heart and lowered his head somewhat uncomfortably.
Long Tianque snorted coldly and turned to walk towards where Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo were.
Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen were chatting and laughing, but when they saw Long Tianque walking over, their smiles faded a bit.
Long Tianque walked to the other side of the fire, and the two of them sat there without moving.
Mo Beichen spoke up, "General Long, have you come here with some instructions?"
Long Tianque stared at Mo Beichen for a moment, and when he saw the coldness in his eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He coughed, clasped his hands in a simple greeting, and then said, "I wouldn't dare give orders, but there's something I'd like to ask..."
Long Tianque paused for a moment, unsure of how to address Mo Beichen appropriately.
Seeing this, Mo Beichen remained silent.
Long Tianque's pupils contracted slightly, and he chuckled, saying, "Since our Emperor has invited the Sumeru Monarch to be the strategist of our army, then I will address him as strategist."
Mo Beichen remained silent.
Long Tianque was somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and continued, "It's like this, what happened just now was He Ming's fault. I apologize to the strategist on He Ming's behalf, but the strategist injured He Ming's knee. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen's voice turned colder, "I thought General Long came with sincerity, but it turns out he's here to speak up for his subordinates. Is General Long here to interrogate me?"
Long Tianque was about to speak, but Mo Beichen did not give him a chance.
He continued, "General Long said that I injured General He's knee. Did the doctor say that?"
The words that Long Tianque was about to say suddenly became impossible to utter.
The doctor just said that there is nothing wrong with his knee.
As the two were locked in a stalemate, a soldier ran over and whispered something in Long Tianque's ear.
Long Tianque's expression darkened slightly. He straightened up, clasped his hands, and said, "It was this general's rudeness."
He turned and took a few steps, then stopped, turned back to Mo Beichen and said, "Since you are the strategist of our army, I hope you understand what it means for military orders to be absolute."
Mo Beichen looked somewhat impatient. He took out a token and a blank imperial edict bearing the seal from his sleeve and showed them to Long Tianque.
"General Long, be careful with your words. If you don't want to stay in the position of commander-in-chief, just say so," Mo Beichen said bluntly.
Long Tianque's expression changed slightly when he saw the two items. He turned and left without looking back.
Damn it, what is the Emperor thinking?
He actually had a blank imperial edict in his hand.
Has the Emperor gone mad?
When Long Tianque returned to his original spot, he saw that He Ming had already stood up and was acting as if nothing had happened, which made him furious.
"He Ming, well done! You dare to mock this general? You're tired of living!" Long Tianque kicked He Ming to the ground.
He Ming panicked and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy, "General, please calm down. I did not lie at all. It really hurt a lot. But after you left, I found that my knee didn't hurt anymore. Please calm down, General."
Upon hearing He Ming's words, Long Tianque laughed in anger, "I just left and your knee is already healed? Are you implying that I, the general, offended you here?"
He Ming quickly kowtowed, "General, please forgive me, I had no intention of doing so."
Just as Long Tianque was about to lash out, he caught a glimpse of Yun Qingluo watching them with an air of amusement.
He became even angrier.
"Get out! Don't show your face in front of me for the next ten days." Long Tianque kicked He Ming again, then turned away to avoid seeing him.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
My mind was still replaying the strange thing that had just happened.
He Ming was someone I personally promoted; even if you gave him ten times the courage, he would never deceive me.
What secret technique did Mo Beichen use?
He actually has some ability.
Long Tianque composed himself, turned to Wei Chi, and ordered, "Pass down the order: no one is allowed to provoke the strategist. Anyone who disobeys will be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane."
Wei Chi was startled and quickly replied, "This subordinate will take care of it immediately."
He suddenly remembered what Mo Beichen had said earlier, and his expression showed some hesitation.
"Is there anything else?" Long Tianque asked coldly.
Wei Chi gritted his teeth and asked, "General, what about the weather the strategist just described? We..."
Before he could finish speaking, Long Tianque interrupted him, "Get lost."
Wei Chi dared not utter another sound and left immediately.
