Chapter 402 Punishment
On the second day, just as the sky was getting light, Rong Yi was being affectionate with the lady with lively eyes and skin as white as snow in his dream, when he suddenly felt a chill running from his feet to his head. He shivered with the cold and finally woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw that the world was upside down, his hands were tied behind his back, his feet were tied up, and he was shirtless and hanging upside down on a tree.
Soldiers gathered in a crowd, and countless pairs of military boots were covered with whispers and laughter.
Yun Chen walked over slowly, tapping the horsewhip in his hand, half-knelt down, and looked at Rong Yi.
Because she was hung upside down, Rong Yi couldn't see Yun Chen's expression. He could only see that her face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
"Awake?" Yun Chen asked with a wry smile.
Rong Yi shuddered as he rarely saw such a terrifying expression on Yun Chen's face. Although he didn't remember the ridiculous things that happened last night at all, he guessed that he was most likely drunk and got into trouble and was caught by Yun Chen.
He quickly forced a flattering smile and said, "I'm awake. Hehe, thank you for the water, boss."
Yun Chen's smile remained on his face. He stood up, stretched his legs, arms, and neck.
"It's good to wake up. Only when you wake up will you feel the pain."
After saying that, before Rong Yi could open his mouth, Yun Chen's horsewhip flew through the air and hit him hard on the butt, causing him to scream in pain.
Feeling the force of the whip, Rong Yi knew that he must have gotten into big trouble. Yun Chen was really angry.
But his mind was a mess of alcohol, and he couldn't think of anything. He could only apologize and beg for mercy:
"Boss, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I was extremely wrong. I was so wrong!"
Yun Chen ignored him and kept waving the whip in his hand.
After twenty lashes, Rong Yi was hanging upside down in the air, being whipped like a spinning top.
His body was covered in purple and black whip marks, and he was sweating from the pain. He gritted his teeth and begged:
"Boss, I'm sober now, really sober..."
After hearing this, Yun Chen finally stopped.
Rong Yi confessed to violating the prohibition of alcohol in front of the entire army. He knew that the first beating was over and the second beating by military law was coming.
As expected, Yun Chen used his flying knife to cut the rope that was hanging Rong Yi. While the latter was still untying the rope and putting on his clothes, she had already given the order to the entire army:
"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Those who violate them will be dealt with equally. Fu Lin, Luo Dongdong, and I violated the prohibition on drinking. Rong Yi—" She glanced at Rong Yi, her face flushed with shame and anger, and continued:
"Rong Yi violated the prohibition on alcohol and sex! He has been sentenced to flogging according to military law."
Hearing the word "forbidden color", Rong Yi was stunned at first, and then he widened his eyes in horror and looked at Yun Chen, as if trying to find traces of a joke on her face.
But Yun Chen no longer looked at him. Instead, Luo Dongdong on the side grinned evilly and said in a low voice:
"Now you know why you were whipped, right?"
Rong Yi looked at Yun Chen's angry and slightly red face, his back was covered in cold sweat and goose bumps all over his body:
"I broke the sex ban? To whom? The boss is the only woman in the entire army! No way?!"
Luo Dongdong teased, "What else? This is exactly what you want, 'the opportunity has come'!"
Rong Yi was a little upset: "I was just kidding! How dare I think about the boss? I'm really drunk!!"
Fu Lin, playing a trick on the side, chimed in, chuckling, "That's true. Alcohol gives cowards courage. Without a drink, who would dare to capture the 'tiger'?"
Rong Yi subconsciously nodded and said "yes, yes, yes", then realized the misunderstanding and filthiness in Fu Lin's words. Seeing that Luo Dongdong and Fu Lin were already together and covering their mouths and laughing, he was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat him up.
Over here, the three of them were still secretly making dirty jokes; over there, Yun Chen had already made a profound self-examination to all the soldiers, and finally said:
"To punish the four of us for violating the alcohol ban, from now on, we will wake up at 3:00 AM every morning for training, carrying a 200-jin weight and walking ten laps around Yancheng! The penalty will last for half a month!"
After the words fell, the three people nearby could no longer laugh.
It’s okay to get up before dawn, and it’s okay to carry 200 kilograms of weight. Just treat it as training to carry comrades.
But walking around Yancheng ten times! Yancheng is so big! It would take an hour to trot around it on horseback!
Ten laps will kill you!
And I ran for half a month! !
Luo Dongdong wailed and walked dejectedly towards the armory, ready to get a few more pairs of shoes.
When he passed Yun Chen, he swung his sleeves pitifully and asked:
"Boss, I only have one arm. Can I run five laps?"
Yun Chen showed a devilish smile and shouted in a voice that everyone could hear:
"Okay! Fifteen laps then! Now! Immediately! Start!"
"Ah--" Luo Dongdong screamed, and before he could say anything else, Rong Yi and Fu Lin immediately covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Under the incredulous gaze of the entire army, Yun Chen, Fu Lin, Rong Yi and Luo Dongdong each carried a 200-jin load and began to walk around Yancheng.
A soldier said, "Are you really running? You're worthy of being called Cloud Tiger. When he gets ruthless, he even attacks himself!"
Another soldier said: "It's just a token of my appreciation. Who would really punish the general?"
"Fifteen laps, I guess it'll be hard to make it to dinner."
"There's still a 200-jin load to carry. My shoulders are going to bleed..."
"I was thinking of sneaking out for a drink, but now I don't dare..."
…
…
It is said that Yun Chen and his three companions were running around the city with weights on their backs.
Because Yun Chen was leading the way, the other three did not dare to slow down and could only follow Yun Chen's speed.
During the first five laps, the three of them gritted their teeth and persevered, looking at the scenery of Yancheng from time to time and joking around and chatting along the way.
During the middle five laps, all three of them were silent, panting like war horses. They had to think twice before swallowing, let alone talking.
Because Luo Dongdong only had one arm, he could only carry weight by tying a rope around his upper arm, which soon caused bleeding.
Rong Yi and Fu Lin, one on each side, helped Luo Dongdong to pull down the weight from behind, trying to help him reduce the weight.
By the last five laps, Rong Yi and Fu Lin were so exhausted that they were dizzy and sweating profusely. They could hardly take care of themselves, let alone others.
Luo Dongdong fell at the end of the team. Every step he took felt like it was filled with lead. The sweat stung his broken arm, making it both painful and itchy. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Yun Chen said nothing. He just ran back to Luo Dongdong, took off his burden, and carried it on his shoulders.
The three of them watched helplessly as Yun Chen carried a weight that was three or four times heavier than her own, and continued to run forward at the same speed as at the beginning.
Luo Dongdong stretched out his hand to pull Yun Chen to express his refusal, but his throat was dry and sweet, and he couldn't say a word. He could only grit his teeth, speed up, and keep up with Yun Chen's pace.
Yun Chen was in front and the other three were behind.
This was such a boring and arduous punishment, and the other three didn't dare to stop until Yun Chen called for a halt.
What's more, the three of them felt that they were men in their bones. It was okay that they were not as good as Yun Chen in terms of boxing skills, but how could they admit defeat in terms of physical strength?
With this energy, the three of them insisted on following Yun Chen.
Gradually, the sky became darker and darker, and the road ahead became increasingly unclear. Only Yun Chen's figure was in front as always. His white clothes were particularly eye-catching in the night sky, like a night star, guiding the direction for the three of them.
Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and her shoulders were covered in blood. Blood flowed down the texture of her clothes and gathered at her belt to form a glaring red line.
The three of them didn't say anything, just kept looking at Yun Chen's back.
By the last lap, all three of them were exhausted and fell to the ground. Yun Chen's pace gradually slowed down and his legs began to tremble.
Rong Yi was out of breath, "Boss...Boss...fourteen...laps...okay..."
Fu Lin and Luo Dongdong didn't say anything, but they all looked at Yun Chen with pleading eyes.
Yun Chen completely ignored the three people, just left two words "Continue!" and ran forward without looking back.
Looking at Yun Chen's gradually receding back, the three of them looked at each other and saw extreme collapse in each other's eyes.
Finally, Fu Lin was the first to get up with trembling legs and followed.
Luo Dongdong wanted to take Rong Yi's half of the weight, but was held down by the latter. They sighed and helped each other to get up.
When the four men finished running fifteen laps and returned to the camp, the soldiers had finished dinner and were tidying up the camp.
Seeing the four men covered in dust and dirt, their clothes sticking to their bodies with sweat and blood, the soldiers were all stunned and couldn't help but whisper:
"Damn, he's really running!"
"A few guys went up the hill to check, and they circled the hill fifteen times without missing a single one!"
"My mother...she always keeps her word. She is truly worthy of being called Cloud Tiger..."
“How terrifying…”
Under the admiring and sympathetic gazes of the soldiers, Rong Yi and Fu Lin threw the heavy loads to the ground and wanted to get their bowls to eat, but their hands were shaking so much that they couldn't even hold the bowls.
Luo Dongdong wanted to sit on the stool, but his legs were shaking like he was having an epilepsy, so he could only collapse on the ground and could not get up again.
Yun Chen put the weight back into the armory, his face pale from exhaustion.
She passed by the three people, scraping the blood blisters on her hands with a dagger, and said mercilessly:
"Tomorrow at the hour of Yin, continue."
