Before Marquis Charles asked a question, Leng Yuan squinted her eyes and smiled: "Not bad, this city is such a good place, Shunsheng, what do you think?"

Li Shunsheng bowed gracefully, performed an English noble ceremony, and said respectfully: "Return to the general, it is similar to what you see. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit frequently in the future."

Leng Yuan then turned around, looked down at Marquis Charles condescendingly, and smiled: "Marquis Charles, look, my butler likes Dawn City very much, and often comes to visit in the future. Do you think it's okay?"

"Ah, this..." Marquis Charles is also a political old man. How could he not even hear such words? What a guest! It is clearly a regular inspection to deter the federal consuls and civil separatist forces here.

Marquis Charles was in pain, and he dared not say that the separatist forces in the folk in Dawn City were basically acquiesced by him, and some of them were even incited by him. If he refuses now, wouldn’t it be obvious that he is guilty?

But if Li Shunsheng comes to inspect every few days, it would be embarrassing not to mention the shame of face, but it would destroy the political balance here in one fell swoop. Moreover, this happened during his term of office, and he might be hated by Grand Duke Yingwei in the future, which would be a big trouble.

Marquis Charles was really crying. He used to deal with soft doves, but now he directly faced the highest general of the Republic's Hawks, and the bloody hawks. The feeling of being arrogant and overwhelming was gone, so he could only say frustratedly: "I am about to step down as the highest executive of Dawn City. If the soon-to-be Grand Duke Yingweide has no objection, I will naturally welcome it."

"Don't be reserved. You are still the highest executive. Why should you let later generations decide for you now?" Leng Yuan did not give a step back, but directly patted Li Shunsheng on the shoulder and smiled, "Shunsheng, be more behaved at that time, don't cause trouble for our marquis when you come to play."

Li Shunsheng's eyes had a bad smile, and he stretched out his hand to Marquis Charles and said in a dark heart: "Of course, please give me some advice."

Marquis Charles really wanted to jump up and beat the two of them up, but he could only laugh awkwardly and shake hands with Li Shunsheng.

"Let's go, take me a good walk." Leng Yuan said this and walked in directly as a guest. He was very rude.

Marquis Charles was still sulking, and a personal guard suddenly fell into his ear nervously and muttered: "Mr. Marquis, there is..."

Marquis Charles was so scared that he shuddered all over. His waist was no longer sore and his legs were not tired. He ran up and shouted anxiously: "General! General! Come here! Over there... that is not a place to meet!"

However, Marquis Charles was one step late after all. Leng Yuan walked very quickly and had already passed through three or four Langfangs and arrived at the side courtyard.

What happened here made everyone silent. A stake full of wooden thorns was inserted on the cold pebbles, with a girl who had been beaten for a long time hanging on it.

Some of the clothes on the girl had been torn off, some were directly shattered by the torture whip, and they were stuck with the wounds that were blooming with flesh. They were covered in bruises. The dry blood was shaking from time to time, and some fresh wounds were bleeding.

There is also a hanging rope around the girl's neck and ice cubes are placed under her feet. If she does not step on the ice cube, she will be hung by the hanging rope. If she steps on it, the soles of her feet will be frostbite.

The original white ice cubes had already become scarlet, and the girl's round feet had been frozen by the cold, but in order to survive, she still had to struggle to resist the ice cubes.

On the edge of the stake, an executioner was holding a long whip full of barbed whip, as if he had just completed a round of beatings. He looked at Leng Yuan standing beside him, and Marquis Charles and others who ran in later, and couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

The girl seemed to feel something, and opened her blood-stained eyes with difficulty, panting with difficulty, and her whole body shivered under the torture of severe pain and coldness. The breath from her mouth condensed into white mist in the air.

It can be vaguely identified by the outline that this girl is very beautiful, so beautiful that she is loved by people. It seems that she is afraid of being hurt when she touches her and will feel heartbroken. I don’t know how vicious people can hurt her like this.

Marquis Charles' reaction was also very fast. His face immediately pulled down, snatched the long whip from the executioner, and slapped him with a slap, and said in a pretended angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you extorting yourself?"

The executioner covered his wound and took a breath of air conditioning. He was clever and understood the intention of Marquis Charles. He immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "Sorry, Marquis Charles, forgot to report to you, he was dereliction of duty..."

The girl kept gasping and turned her gaze for help to Leng Yuan. Because of the shaking of her body, the wounds on her body kept bleeding, which was heartbreaking.

This time, Li Shunsheng and Miyin Risako were traveling with Leng Yuan. The two of them seemed to have no movement on the surface, but they were already prepared in secret. As long as Leng Yuan gave the order, whether they killed the Marquis or saved the girl, they would do it without hesitation.

However, Leng Yuan seemed to have no reaction. She ignored the girl's gaze for help, just squinted at her and said calmly: "What did you do?"

Marquis Charles kept winking at the executioner, and the executioner did not dare to speak nonsense, and honestly reported: "Vertical slacking off! Today, this maid named Zisu should have been watered into the garden, but she secretly painted in the garden."

Leng Yuan then discovered that there was a piece of paper that was kneaded together on the edge of the execution platform, which was wrinkled and covered with some blood.

Li Shunsheng cleverly picked it up, spread it out and handed it to Leng Yuan.

Leng Yuan glanced at the painting, suddenly frowned, and stared at the person in the painting.

Zisu's painting skills are very good. He should have practiced them before. He painted the people in the painting vividly on the paper with just a few strokes. He was cold and arrogant, like a wolf walking in the wilderness, especially his signature rosy eyes, which made people unforgettable at a glance.

Leng Yuan unfolded the drawing paper and asked Zi Su, "Do you know this person?"

Zisu was now hanging and could not even speak. Marquis Charles quickly winked at the executioner and asked her to put Zisu down.

After being put down, Zi Su collapsed on the ground and shivered for a while. Seeing this, Li Shunsheng took off his suit jacket, walked over and gently put it on her.
