Chapter 701 Applying Medicine
Upon hearing this, Nier's heart suddenly tightened, her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated a few beats, and she cried out: "One hundred military sticks!"
General Li’s pale face and his unhealed arm suddenly appeared in her mind.
He thought to himself, "He lost too much blood before, and his body was already weak. Now his arm hasn't fully healed yet. If he really gets hit by these 100 military sticks, even with me by his side, I'm afraid he won't survive."
Thinking of this, Nier became more and more anxious, and her pace unconsciously quickened a lot. She muttered: "These one hundred military sticks must not hit him..."
When the princess heard the number of "one hundred military sticks", she was almost scared to death. "If we don't hurry up, the man will be dead. Why are you so stubborn that you have to get beaten?"
When they arrived at the place, Ni'er looked around but didn't see anyone. She only heard a regular sound, which was made by the stick hitting the flesh, each sound accompanied by a low groan.
Ni'er's heart tightened and she quickly ran in the direction of the sound.
"Stop it!" Her cry echoed in the air.
When the executioner heard the cry, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned.
It is difficult to control the strength to hit General Li. If it is too light, General Li will be dissatisfied; if it is too heavy, General Li will be injured, and I will probably be blamed by everyone in the future.
Although General Li did not allow others to complain about the executioner, the executioner himself felt really guilty.
Now, someone finally comes to rescue this tricky situation.
When Nier ran closer, she was stunned by the scene before her.
After just a few hits, General Li's body was already covered in bloodstains. The mottled bloodstains formed a sharp contrast with his original skin, which looked shocking.
General Li opened his eyes and saw the person coming.
"What are you doing here? Go back now, this is not the place for you."
General Li's voice was a little hoarse. As soon as he finished speaking, a violent coughing fit came like a storm, shaking his body slightly.
He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Go on, hit me hard, it was too gentle just now."
Hearing General Li's words, Ni'er, who was standing aside, felt her heart suddenly tighten.
She didn't have time to think, and rushed behind General Li to protect him.
"You are not the only one responsible for this. I am responsible as well. If you want to fight me, fight me too."
Ni'er stood behind General Li. If the stick came down, it would definitely hit Ni'er first.
General Li obviously did not expect Ni'er to suddenly rush out, and his originally stern voice became much softer in an instant.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, go back quickly." There was a hint of helplessness in General Li's tone.
"I deserve to be punished. This way I can feel better."
Ni'er lightly touched the scar on General Li's body, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Ni'er suddenly felt distressed, her eyes instantly moist, "General, your body can't take it, there's no need to punish yourself in this way. Besides, who is perfect in this world?"
"Those fallen soldiers would certainly not want to see you like this. It would be better to recover and win a great victory to comfort their spirits."
After listening to Ni'er's words, General Li felt that what she said made sense.
He couldn't torture himself like this any longer. If he was seriously injured, how could he fight bravely on the battlefield?
We must never let the lives of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives heroically be in vain.
Seeing this, the princess hurried forward and said, "Ni'er is right. You getting beaten here will do nothing but make yourself feel better."
"No matter how many times you take a beating, you can't bring back the lives of those soldiers who have already passed away."
"It would be more meaningful to cheer up and win a great victory so that their families will never be harassed by the enemy again."
General Li slowly closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then slowly opened them again.
His eyes were slightly red, obviously touched deep down by their words.
"Let's go."
The princess could not help but exclaimed:
"Why are you so stubborn?"
"I mean, we should go together. You're right."
General Li endured the pain in his body and slowly stood up.
However, when he pulled the wound on his back, a sharp pain came over him, causing him to gasp involuntarily.
General Li gritted his teeth and said, "This is the end of the beating. If I ultimately disappoint everyone, I will come back and take the rest of the beating."
Ni'er hurried into General Li's tent, holding a small bottle in her hand, which contained the fine ointment she had carefully prepared.
General Li was lying quietly on the bed in the tent at this moment. Due to his serious injuries, he was almost unable to move.
Nier walked quickly to the bed, sat down gently on the edge of the bed, opened the bottle cap, and a faint herbal fragrance filled the air.
She picked up a little ointment with her slender fingertips and gently applied it on General Li's wound.
The ointment was cool, and when it came into contact with the wound, General Li couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"You're really wasting my medicine," Ni'er muttered. "Do you know how precious the herbs are that make this ointment?"
As she applied the ointment, she scolded General Li, "Your arm was injured before, but you didn't take good care of it, so the wound broke open and you had to reapply the ointment. You could have avoided getting hurt this time, so why are you so stubborn?"
Ni'er became more and more angry as she spoke, and couldn't help but poke General Li's wound with her finger.
"Ah!" General Li suddenly screamed. The sudden pain made him frown.
Seeing this, Nier felt a little regretful and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."
General Li endured the pain and comforted her, "It's okay, it's my fault. I will try to avoid getting hurt in the future."
After hearing General Li's words, Ni'er's anger subsided a little. She pouted and said, "That's more like it."
General Li frowned slightly, remembering that Ni'er had said before that Lian Yi changed the plan without authorization because of him.
This matter has always bothered me.
I even went to Wanwan to ask.
However, Wanwan did not answer the question directly, but let him think about it himself.
General Li pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why Lian Yi did this.
It just so happens that Ni'er is here, she should be able to give a reasonable explanation.
General Li asked directly, "Last time you said Lian Yi changed his plan because of me. What exactly is going on?"
Nier's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "General Lian Yi wanted to use this matter to frame me. She thought I was blocking her way."
When General Li heard this, he instantly understood the truth of the matter.
