Volume 1 Chapter 387 The Fouling Punishment
Li Nezha sneered, "Humph, Gan Ce, you didn't expect this day to come!"
"As a general, what crime have you committed for disrespecting the admiral? And you are still self-reliant with your own troops. Even if I don't report these crimes to His Majesty, I can kill you right here with a single blow!"
Gan Ce took a deep breath and said stubbornly: "If you kill me, these soldiers under my command will also cut you into pieces."
"Oh, what a joke!" Li Nezha retorted, "Now that your master is dead, what's the point of them continuing to fight? If they kill me, the admiral, where will they go? Can they escape from this area, or will they go up the mountain and become bandits?"
Then Li Nezha pointed at Lu Feng and the others behind him and said to him: "I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I don't care about your two thousand miscellaneous soldiers at all. I only have ten people under my command to destroy them. The reason why I haven't taken action yet is just that I don't want to attack my own family."
"Your Majesty appointed me as the Admiral of Weihai, and I covet great hopes for you. How can I be narrow-minded and ruin the big thing because of some personal grudges? But you are really too much of a bully, and you don't even take me, the Admiral of Weihai, seriously. What do you want to do? Are you really going to rebel?"
"The Great Cloud Empire's Fire Cloud Army has tens of millions of soldiers. Do you really think that the one million miscellaneous soldiers under your command can be a match for the imperial court? Pah, they are not even enough to fill your teeth!"
"I'm telling you, don't take yourself too seriously. If you behave yourself, the court will keep you safe. If you want to cause trouble, you'll be dead. I'm telling you this clearly today, so think about it carefully for one night!"
Then Li Nezha changed his tone and continued: "I won't kill you, but you have disrespect for your superiors and must be punished, so I will punish you..."
Li Nezha thought about it and then laughed, then said: "The punishment of stink!"
Gan Ce felt something was wrong when he heard the name, and quickly shouted, "What do you want to do!"
Li Nezha ignored him, turned his head to look at Lu Feng, then stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Lu, please lend me your foot binding socks."
Lu Feng frowned and asked, "What do you want from me? Don't you have any of your own?"
Li Nezha shouted: "Oh, I grew up in the palace and washed my feet every day. These socks are not tasty enough. But yours are different, Brother Lu..."
Lu Feng's face darkened when he heard this. This guy was indirectly scolding him for having smelly feet!
Can Lu Feng bear this? He just stretched out a finger and said calmly: "One hundred!"
Li Nezha had no choice but to pay the money while cursing in his heart. He was even calculating in his mind that with the speed at which Lu Feng was asking for money, the little money he had on him might not be enough for him to use. He didn't know how many years he would be away, and there would be many places to spend money. How should he command them in the future?
Li Nezha couldn't help but think of the right to mobilize the Anbu. It would be great if he could apply to His Majesty for the right to control the Anbu.
Suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat and felt a sense of fear. Was he being too arrogant and thinking too much?
Li Nezha didn't dare to think any more. After getting a pair of Lu Feng's foot bindings, he stuffed them into Gan Ce's mouth under Gan Ce's horrified gaze.
Gan Ce struggled frantically and shouted, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. If you dare to put that stinky thing into my mouth, I will kill you after I escape even if I have to risk my life... Ugh... Ugh."
Gan Ce wanted to die. He really wanted to die at this moment. If he could move, he would definitely bang his head against the tree and die in order to save his face.
However, Li Nezha stuffed a foot sock into his mouth only to stop him from making loud noises and thus alert the soldiers not far away. The real punishment of fumigation had just begun.
Li Nezha found a long wooden stick nearby and stuck it into the ground in front of Gan Ce. The top of the stick just reached the height of Gan Ce's nose.
The next moment Li Nezha wrapped the other foot binding around the top of the wooden stick, so that the foot binding was suspended motionlessly only three centimeters away from Gan Ce's nose. With every breath Gan Ce took, the stench on the foot binding would be sucked into his body, making Gan Ce feel extremely painful and ashamed.
The ten Anbu members not far away all had twitching faces, obviously ashamed. This kind of punishment was really... extremely painful.
Li Nezha saw Gan Ce's face turned red due to holding his breath, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh out loud. You know, members of the Anbu like Lu Feng have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and their scripts are terrible. After joining the Anbu, the tasks they carry out require them to hide day and night, so they have no time to wash their feet.
So after a long time, the smell on Lu Feng's feet could be described as "fermented" without exaggeration. When you picked them up and smelled them, they were extremely stinky!
Li Nezha thought that he would not last more than a minute, but Gan Ceā¦had offended him, so he had to endure the stinking punishment for the whole night.
Li Nezha said to Lu Feng and the others, "You have all worked hard. You can take a rest tonight. We still have to travel tomorrow. I will treat you all to a good meal when we get to the city."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Feng and the other ten Anbu guards disappeared. Li Nezha knew that they had all returned to the tree, so he came to Gan Ce, whose eyes were slightly rolling, and slapped him on the forehead. Then he smiled and said, "Reflect on how you should treat an admiral tonight, hum!"
Li Nezha went back to the military tent to sleep. Gan Ce, who was tied up and suffering, was in ecstasy and his tears were coming out. He tried his best to hold his breath, but he still had to take a breath or two. Within half an hour, Gan Ce's eyes rolled back and he fainted from foaming at the mouth.
But not long after, I woke up again because of the pungent smell...
The sky brightened and the warm sun rose in the east. A soldier had to pee urgently, so he ran out of the tent. He was not so sleepy, so he found a direction and ran, and came to a big tree and started to relieve himself.
Suddenly, a pungent odor rushed straight into his brain, causing his body to twitch. His mind suddenly became more clear, and he quickly stepped back a few steps and shouted, "What the hell is so smelly..."
Halfway through his words, he saw Gan Ce, who was trapped on a big tree and had passed out. He had a foot binding sock stuffed in his mouth and another hanging in front of his nose. He didn't know what had soaked his body, but it was all wet.
"Oh my God... General!" The soldier screamed in fear, and quickly pulled up the stick and threw it far away. He then took the socks out of Gan Ce's mouth and began to untie him, shouting, "Help! There's an assassin! Help!"
At this time, many people who woke up early had already woken up. When they heard the shouts, they rushed over wearing armor and holding weapons. When they saw Gan Ce who had fainted, they all shouted in unison: "General!"
"Who, who attacked the general?"
"Wow, what's that smell? Why is it so stinky!"
"No, my eyes hurt..."
"Who is the murderer? Who did it?"
"Don't worry about that for now. Saving General Gan is the most important thing. Military doctor, call the military doctor quickly!"
