Chapter 102

When Xia Yuqing helped the old madam to the front hall, Wu Jun was pacing anxiously, while Su Qingyan was sitting on the chair beside him . His face was a little pale, and below his eyes were two black eyebags .

Xia Yuqing glanced at the dark circles under Su Qingyan’s eyes . Alas, this little face is really pale . It shouldn’t be the case where they were working hard until dawn, could it? Can the second master’s waist stand that?

When the two men looked up at the sound of footsteps, seeing Xia Yuqing and the group, they were stupefied . “Mother, why are you here?”

“There was such a loud ruckus, how could I not come? What happened?” The old lady looked at the two with disapproval .

Su Qingyan glanced at the big mouths that followed the old lady . He had told them not to open their mouths, yet there were still a few fish that leaked out of the net .

“Madam, it’s really nothing . Big brother and I can handle it . Don’t worry, just go back and rest . ”

The old lady heard the words and frowned: “Qingyan, I might be hard of sight but I am not blind . If it is a trivial matter, why would both Wu Jun and you both need to appear? Look at your ugly faces . You must not have slept all night . Don’t hide it from me . Mother has eaten more rice than you have traveled . If you say it out, maybe I could help . ”

Wu Jun and Su Qingyan looked at each other with a little hesitation on their faces . The old lady twisted her eyebrows and said lowly, “Speak . ”

The two men shuddered, then Wu Jun was suddenly pushed out by Su Qingyan . He didn’t know where to put his hands and feet when he spat out: “Mother… it’s like this . There was a sudden change in the back mountains last night . A few brothers brought some people over, but… I thought it was just some pa.s.sing crocodile, but I didn’t expect that those people were well-trained . They don’t seem like people from Jiang Hu, but rather… ”

“Do you suspect that those people were sent by the palace?” The old lady raised a brow but there was no fluctuation on her face, this made Su Qingyan even more nervous .

Wu Jun swallowed hard and nodded .

With a slam, the old lady slapped her palm on the table next to her . This directly shook the tea cups on the table to the ground, making a cracking sound .

“How dare they?! We have all fled for so many years, far away from the capital and far away from the palace . Are they so desperate to want to put us to death, really… really…”

Seeing that the old lady was turning red in the face and getting breathless, Xia Yuqing hurried forward to help soothe her . But she was puzzled .

When she heard about the imperial court, Xia Yuqing was a little surprised . Could there be some resentment against the imperial court?

If you think about it carefully, since Feng Tingye already knew that she was in this cottage, why not immediately take someone up the mountain to take her back, but instead disguise himself to investigate the truth? Could it be that the Ultra Seme Lord really has grudges with the people in this strong hold? Was he worried that if he rushed up the hill he might warn the snake and get her implicated in it?

But that’s not right . If he was worried about not attacking the mountain at first, why now…

If Feng Tingye was really going to attack the stronghold, he would definitely take her away last night and not put her in danger . You should know that she was still pregnant with his child . For this reason, Xia Yuqing became more and more confused .

Unable to understand, Xia Yuqing decided to investigate from the old lady first: “Old Madam, I hear you talk about the imperial court… Do you have any disputes with the court? Otherwise, why would the court send troops to give you trouble?”

The old lady let out a sigh when she heard Xia Yuqing’s question . She couldn’t help turning her head and take a deep look at Xia Yuqing . She looked at Xia Yuqing with a little guilty conscience . She has let… the cat out of the bag .

Unexpectedly, the old lady sighed quietly, holding Xia Yuqing’s hand and whispered softly: “Now that it has come to this, telling you this, is nothing . ”

“G.o.dmother…” After hearing those words, Su Qingyan was shocked . He looked at Xia Yuqing with a bit of precaution . He always felt that this woman was not as harmless as she looked on the surface . Moreover he felt weird how the old madam who never liked strangers could trust her so easily .

The old lady shook her head at Su Qingyan: “They have already come to the door . Even if we don’t say it, they will know . Speaking of it, we have troubled you . ”

The old lady took Xia Yuqing’s hand and her face was slightly down: “This matter started from your brother Wu’s dad, who was a famous general of the current emperor’s dad . He had made great achievements when he was young and was highly respected in court . ”

Famous general?!! Xia Yuqing’s eyes narrowed sharply . The big master’s dad was a former famous general? How could the big master and the old madam fall to this state then? Could it be that the dad with great achievements did something taboo to the king and became cannon fodder?

“Although his father was invincible on the battlefield and was good at leading soldiers, he was not proficient at all in court . In addition, he was straight-headed and unwilling to be contaminated with some ** officials, thus he offended quite a few people . Later on during the battle between the brothers for the throne, his father intended to stay out of it and not get involved . But who would have thought he would be plotted against, causing our entire Wu Family… . . to be ma.s.sacred .

Only I was able to escape with Jun Er . Following a close aide who had fought through dangerous situations with his father, we fled all the way to this place . Just when we got settled, unexpectedly after so many years, the court still refused to let go of this son and widow duo!”At the end, the old lady’s eyes already clearly showed hatred .

Xia Yuqing was taken aback, her heart trembled . The hatred of annihilation was a big deal . If the people who attacked the mountain today were really the army of the Ultra Seme Lord, then how should she handle herself? In terms of feelings and reason, she should stand on the side of the Ultra Seme Lord, but the people in this strong hold are not bad people . Sell her friends for glory, how can she do that!

Xia Yuqing pursed her lips and reluctantly smiled, “So that is what happened . ”

When the old lady saw Xia Yuqing’s face a little pale, she thought that she was scared and hurriedly said: “That’s why we have troubled you . I wanted you to stay here for a few more days, but I didn’t expect… rest a.s.sured though, Jun Er and the rest will protect you well and won’t allow you to be hurt . “

After hearing the words of the old madam, Xia Yuqing’s heart warmed . Her eyes could not help become a little red: “Old Madam, please don’t say that . If it were not for the two masters taking us in, Xi Er and I would be wandering around alone long ago, who knows where . ”

Xia Yuqing looked up at Su Qingyan and Wu Jun, then bit her lip, tentatively asking: “Old Madam, you said that Brother Wu’s father was killed wrongly when the emperor was fighting for the throne . Was the person who framed the general… the emperor?”

The old lady froze and replied: “That’s not it . ”

Xia Yuqing’s face lit up . Since the emperor did not do it, the feud of killing the father should not be counted on His Majesty’s head . In this case, if she came forward to intercede, he should be willing to let them go .

Xia Yuqing just wanted to say something good for Feng Tingye when the old lady added a sentence: “But when the accident happened, Wu Jun’s father once wrote a letter with his own blood asking the emperor to save us, mother and son duo . But who knew that the emperor would just take the blood letter and not do anything . He just simply watched my Wu family almost disappear . Fortunately… there were some brothers who came to help . But unfortunately they all had the same end as Wu Jun’s father… there is no one good in the royal family!”

“……” The words hanging on Xia Yuqing’s mouth were swallowed down . Can’t you breathe, old lady? It’s true that this is a deep hatred for him not coming to save him, but old lady, you can’t knock down the entire boat of people! How can she open her mouth now? How can new hatred be formed from these old hatreds? I’m so tired, I feel like I’m going to be caught between both sides!! ~ o (> _

Before Xia Yuqing could finish her thoughts, there was an anxious cry from outside: “Boss, Boss …”

Wu Jun and Su Qingyan’s faces changed slightly . They quickly stepped forward to catch the b.l.o.o.d.y Xiao Dong who was covered in blood .

“Xiao Dong, what’s the matter? Where are you injured?”

“I’m fine . ” Xiao Dong gasped, holding the arms of Wu Jun tightly . “Boss, in front . Someone in front is besieging us . ”

“What? There are still more people . Are they planning to encircle us and finish us off in one fell swoop? Are you trying to get rid of them? F*ckers, trying to bully us? Second brother, stay here and protect mother and the rest and treat the injured brothers . I’ll go meet those villains . ”

Su Qingyan twisted his eyebrows and said: “Be careful . ” Then he watched Wu Jun go out .

“Xiaodong hurt his arm . Who can help me grab the medicine in my room?” Su Qingyan checked Xiao Dong’s arm and looked at the wound .

“Mm, let me go . ” Xia Yuqing glanced around . All the capable people basically went out to help, so the whole house was empty, leaving only a few of the old and weak .

“You are pregnant, how can you move around?” The old lady grabbed Xia Yuqing’s hand and turned to look at Yun Xi, who was inseparable from Xia Yuqing .

“I’ll go, Qing Jiejie . You wait here . ” As soon as she made contact with the old lady’s eyes, Yun Xi stepped forward and volunteered . She didn’t want to be caught by the old witch again and have her preaching .

Yun Xi turned to Su Qingyan’s room, and the old lady took her Ya Tou out to boil water to clean the wounds of the wounded soldiers outside . Before leaving, she specifically told Xia Yuqing to stay with Su Qingyan and not to run around .

Xia Yuqing watched the old lady walk away without looking back, and turned her head stiffly to Su Qingyan who was tearing the sleeve of Xiao Dong’s s.h.i.+rt to stop the bleeding . Her tears turned into a river .

She didn’t want to be alone with the second master . Although she knew that he had a sharp mouth but was like a tofu on the inside, but this slave is just a fragile little cabbage . She can’t even withstand a gust of wind, please let her go .

“Come here, help me pull the strap . ”

Xia Yuqing was at a loss on how to save herself, when Qingyan opened his mouth to let her help .

“…” Can I say no?

Despite all her reluctance, Xia Yuqing moved obediently step by step .

“Pull well . ” Su Qingyan didn’t speak any extra words . He gave the torn strips of cloth from the sleeves into Xia Yuqing’s hands . Then he took out a silver needle under Xia Yuqing’s surprised gaze .

“…” Is the silver needle that was as thick as a toothpick in your hands really the needle for acupuncture? Is it really okay to use that to pierce? Or do you want to pierce me, to kill me to prevent me from speaking . F*ck, are you not afraid to be splashed with blood?

Xia Yuqing watched with horror as Su Qingyan approached with the bright silver needle, his hand slowly raised upwards… .

“Aaaoo…” A scream like a pig being slaughtered sounded from the hall, making the waiting injured people become frightened . They hugged themselves, trembling non-stop .

Xia Yuqing slowly opened her eye, one by one . Hey, there was no blood splash like she expected . The silver needle pierced in instead of causing blood to flow out, actually stopped it .

Xia Yuqing’s mouth suddenly turned into an O-shape . When she looked up at Su Qingyan’s eyes, a light of wors.h.i.+p appeared .

Su Qingyan gave her a disdainful glance and sneered: “Thought you would be splashed with blood? Haha…”

Ha ha… Oh your sister, arrogant people are the most annoying! Realizing that she was being looked down on, Xia Yuqing glared at Su Qingyan with an angry look .

Su Qingyan didn’t put her in his eyes at all, only focused on treating the wounded in front of him .

Xia Yuqing glanced sympathetically . Although the blood was stopped, Xiao Dong was still whimpering from the pain . She secretly mourned for him for a few seconds then made up her mind secretly that in the future, she would never let the person in front of her heal herself . That cruel treatment method, the little girl really … cannot have the blessing to receive it .

“Cough …” It was really awkward with the atmosphere so quiet, thus Xia Yuqing took the initiative to raise a topic, “Sorry I distrubed second master last night . I am really sorry . I originally wanted to visit this morning, but I didn’t expect…”

Su Qingyan looked up appreciating Xia Yuqing, he smiled softly: “If Lady Xia is really sorry, you can show some sincerity . ”

“…” Whn Xia Yuqing heard this, her alarm sounded . Could this guy be the same type of beast as Ultra Seme Lord?

Didn’t they say during the ancient period time, there were a lot of people who helped out of the goodness of their heart and not for favours? Why is it that she keeps meeting all these capitalists, she must have pa.s.sed through in the wrong way!

“What’s the meaning of second master’s words?”

“Nothing much, I just want to ask Lady Xia something and hope that lady Xia will tell the truth . ”

Xia Yuqing felt somewhat guilty, she had a bad premonition: “Secon … second master, what do you want to ask?”

Sure enough, the corner of his lips lifted upwards and his eyes were fixed on Xia Yuqing . He spat out a question: “For example, who are you? For example, since Lady Xia cares so much about the Ye royal family, what kind of relations.h.i.+p do you have with the Ye kingdom’s royal family? Finally, this time that the strong hold is under siege, is it related to Lady Xia?”

” … ” Xia Yuqing looked at Su Qingyan with a blank expression . Mother f*cker, her premonition was right . The hardest person to deal with in this stronghold is the one in front of her .

Ah, why is his sixth sense so accurate?! When did she expose herself? Ultra Seme Lord, please save me!!!

Xia Yuqing carefully backed up a few steps, avoiding Su Qingyan’s deep vision that saw everything . She pretended to be silly and stupefied: “Ahahaha, second master, what are you talking about? I don’t understand . ”

“Your heart knows whether you understand or not . No matter what your purpose is to enter this strong hold, if I find out that you have done something that will endanger the lives of the people in the strong hold, I will never let you go . ”

Xia Yuqing stiffened . Just when she wanted to say something to explain, she suddenly heard a fighting and shouting from outside .

The two’s faces changed at the same time . Su Qingyan’s eyes narrowed and his face suddenly became cold: “They’ve sneaked in so quickly . ”

Grabbing Xia Yuqing’s hand, he stretched his hand to wake up Xiao Dong who fainted because of excessive blood loss . They hurried towards the back door .

“Wait … wait a minute, Xiao Xi and the old lady are still inside!”

Su Qingyan paused and looked at Xia Yuqing, then suddenly pushed her into Xiao Dong’s arms: “You follow Xiao Dong to the front to find big brother . I will go find G.o.dmother and Yunxi . ”

Seeing Xia Yuqing still wanting to speak, Su Qingyan added another sentence: “You will only hinder me if you stay here . ”

Xia Yuqing shut her mouth . That’s right, I’m only going to get in the way here . The most urgent thing is to go out and find Feng Tingye . If the people outside are really his…

“Lady Xia, let’s go quickly . ” Xiao Dong paled and took Xia Yuqing’s hand to remind her .

Xia Yuqing nodded: “Be careful second master . ”

“En, I’ll find them and will meet with you guys as soon as possible . ” After turning around, he rushed towards the direction of the old lady’s departure .

Xiao Dong took Xia Yuqing on the hidden path . There weren’t many people on the road, but the further they went, the deeper the doubt in Xia Yuqing’s eyes were .

The appearances of those sneak attackers don’t quite look like the soldiers of Feng Tingye’s men . Could they be scattered soldiers? But soon, Xia Yuqing’s doubts were solved .

“It’s really hard to break through iron shoes and then get it when you put in no effort* . Hahaha I was just looking for you, when you delivered yourself straight to me . Long time no see, Consort Qing . ”

* when you put in loads of effort you can’t find what you’re looking for, but when you don’t try you get it

“Consort Qing?” Xiao Dong glanced back at Xia Yuqing, full of suspicion .

“You …” Xia Yuqing had a white complexion when she looked at the woman standing in front of the group of people in black . She reflectively reached out to protect her belly . Why… how could it be Jiang Zhaorou? She thought wrong . These people are not Ultra Seme Lord’s people, their targets weren’t Wu Jun and the old madam, it was her… .

She should have realized this sooner since the Ultra Seme Lord would not disregard her safety and arbitrarily mobilize themselves . What should she do now?

Xia Yuqing unconsciously stepped back, protecting her belly with her right hand .

Xia Yuqing’s somewhat frightened expression seemed to be pleasing to Jiang Zhaorou: “It seems that you are quite comfortable living in this strong hold . Why didn’t you ask them to send you back to the palace? Oh, I forgot, but this is a bandit den . If they knew your ident.i.ty, it would be hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t use you to threaten Feng Tingye for money . This must be why you didn’t tell them exactly who you were, right?”

“Back to the palace? Niang Niang? Are you a lady from the palace?”Although Xiao Dong grew up in the country, he wasn’t stupid .

“No … it’s not like that, I didn’t deceive you deliberately . I just…” Xia Yuqing retorted with a pale complexion . Maybe it was true at first that she was worried about the these thieves disregarding their lives, but after entering the strong hold, everyone in the cottage was very kind . They were always enthusiastic about a stranger like herself and treated her sincerely .

She wasn’t worried as she was at the beginning . The reason why she was hiding that information was just because… she didn’t know how to explain it, nor did she think that her ident.i.ty would be exposed under such circ.u.mstances .

“However, thanks to this strong hold that has kept you for so long, I can make a comeback and find you again . This time, I won’t let you run away again . ”

Xia Yuqing’s face changed slightly and her heart seemed to beat like a drum . It was so hard for her to see Feng Tingye again, she can’t be caught back at this time . She wasn’t willing!

“Xiaodong… you…” Xia Yuqing was at a loss when a black shadow suddenly stood in front of herself, it was Xiao Dong who was leading her this entire time .

“Well, we can talk about your affairs later . I promised second master that I’ll take you to the boss . A gentleman’s words and promises must be kept . ”

“Pu, a gentleman’s words and promises must be kept . ” Xia Yuqing smiled indifferently, and attracted Xiao Dong’s angry eyes .

Jiang Zhaorou looked at them coldly and sneered: “You’re at the end of your road and you are still speaking nonsense, do you want to be a hero saving the beauty? Reckless . Go, take the female away and kill the kid . ”

Xia Yuqing felt nervous, watching Xiao Dong who was pale because of excessive blood loss . Her hands protecting the stomach tightened .

With so many people, Xiao Dong can’t beat them alone . The reason why the strong hold was under siege was because of herself . Su Qingyan is right . She has implicated the entire stronghold . She couldn’t let Xiao Dong sacrifice his life for herself and live on like that . Such debts are too heavy .

“Wa… wait, I’ll go with you . You let Xiao Dong go . ”

“Lady Xia!” Xiao Dong froze, looking at Xia Yuqing in disbelief . Obviously he didn’t expect her to say such things .

Jiang Zhaorou was also stunned, but she laughed with a low tone for a moment and stared at Xia Yuqing with a mocking expression: “Do you think you have the right to choose now?”

Xia Yuqing was speechless . She was just fish under someone else’s knife now . It’s hard to protect yourself, let alone protect others .

Seeing the group of people in black approaching little by little, Xiao Dong guarded Xia Yuqing and slowly backed up little by little, but in the end his power was limited .

Just when they thought they could not escape, they suddenly heard the sound of two swords coming out of their sheaths . Then two black shadows popped out from different directions .

As the swords clashed, the two heard two voices at the same time .

“Hmph, so you still have a little conscience, sacrificing yourself for others . I guess I’ll reluctantly help you just this once . ”

“Ai Fei, Zhen will be jealous if Zhen sees you sacrifice yourself for another man . ”

“This voice …” Xia Yuqing looked up suddenly to look at the two people who had fought with the black men in the distance .

The young man in green on the left had a cold smile on his lips . The sword in his hand was spry and lively as it moved like a b.u.t.terfly, lightly reaping the other parties’ soul . On the right side there was a young man in blue . His coat was flying and his squinting phoenix eyes were soaked in a murderous chill, raising his hand to take lives, mercilessly .

“Second master and… His Majesty . ”

Having her plan disrupted and originally having victory close at grasp, the smile on Jiang Zhaorou’s face sank . Her vulture eyes stared at the not so far away Xia Yuqing . With a shake of her right hand, a nine-section whip slipped out from her sleeve and went straight towards Xia Yuqing .

“Be careful!” The old madam and Yun Xi who followed immediately saw the scene and exclaimed .

At the moment of imminent peril, a rainbow-like long sword quickly inserted itself from the side creating a flash of light on the ground, then it stopped the nine-section whip .

“Cui Er …” Xia Yuqing exclaimed after seeing the person coming .

Cui Er heard Xia Yuqing’s call, looked back at her, and chuckled with a light smile: “Niang Niang . ”

Jiang Zhaorou didn’t expect to be blocked by anyone, her face became twisted . She squeezed the nine-section whip in her hand, she really wanted to forcefully pull Cui Er over .

Cui Er read her thoughts, her eyes flickered slightly . Her long sword shook, then the nine-section whip wrapped around the long sword was shook away . Then her body bent down low and using her right leg to push forward, she rushed towards Jiang Zhaorou like an arrow leaving the bow .

As soon as Jiang Zhaorou took back the nine-section whip in her hand, before she could recover, she suddenly felt a strong wind blowing . Her face slightly changed, and she instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too late .

The next second, Cui Er’s face had appeared in front of her . The long sword was like a rainbow reflected in water and it suddenly plunged into her abdomen .

“You …” Jiang Zhaorou clutched her abdomen, feeling the blood flowing out little by little . Her face whitened .

Cui Er wanted to pull out the sword and add on the last fatal blow, when she suddenly saw Jiang Zhaorou’s hand move slightly . Her long developed keen instincts made her aware of the danger, and her toes pushed herself back a bit, by reaction . Borrowing that strength, she quickly flew out .

Almost at the same time as Cui Er flew away, a handful of powdery things were scattered towards the place where Cui Er was originally standing . Among the flowerbeds that it fell on, the flowers there quickly withered away and turned into a dark gray as they were contaminated . It was not difficult to imagine what would happen if Cui Er didn’t avoid it just now .

Cuib Er glanced at the traumatized flowers with a lingering fear, then she suddenly heard a shout from behind: “Ultra Seme Lord, pick up Fei Zao . Pu, no, quickly stop Jiang Feizao!”

It turned out that Xia Yuqing had been paying attention . At the moment, seeing Jiang Zhaorou secretly calculating against Cui Er, pulling out the sword from her abdomen and was ready to slip away, she hurriedly shouted at Feng Tingye on the side .

Feng Tingye was shocked when he heard Xia Yuqing’s cry, the light in his eyes flashed away . He quickly resolved the last man in black in front of him, then flew towards Jiang Zhaorou . A long sword came flying over to Jiang Zhaorou’s back, but a dead soldier on the side threw himself over to block the attack .

The sharp sword directly penetrated the chest of the soldier and Jiang Zhaorou also had a chance to breathe . She overturned the fence and escaped .

“She got away again!” Xia Yuqing watched Jiang Zhaorou over the wall, a little shocked . Before she had recovered, she was taken into a familiar embrace .

“Relax, she can’t run too far because of her injury . The hidden guard have gone to chase her . ”

Xia Yuqing was stunned for a while before she let out a sigh of relief and slowly wrapped her hands around his waist .

Feng Tingye felt the tremor of Xia Yuqing’s body, knowing that she was really scared just now . He couldn’t help but hold her tighter .

In fact, not only was Xia Yuqing scared, but he was also scared . Seeing that Xia Yuqing was being pressed by those people step by step, Feng Tingye’s heart almost stopped . He could hardly imagine what would happen to Xia Yuqing if he had come any later .

Although she probably won’t lose her life, but it was unsure if she would get injured . Moreover, this person was just recovered from being taken away from him . How could he allow her to be taken away from him again?

Thinking of Xia Yuqing’s disappearance again, Feng Tingye couldn’t hide his grievances . They had touched his weakness twice, so they should be prepared to withstand his anger . That woman, deserves to die!

“Cough cough, although it is not too good to bother you, but don’t you owe us an explanation, especially you …… lady Xia, or should I call you …… Consort Qing . ”

Acting as if no one was around, they hugged each other for a long time until they were reminded by two light coughs . It reminded them that it was not a good time for this PDA .

Xia Yuqing was shocked and hurriedly climbed out of Feng Tingye’s arms, facing the eyebrows of Su Qingyan and the old lady’s inquiry .

She immediately became embarra.s.sed . F*ck the bird! How can she explain it to them before she had time to prepare? The old lady and the second master were not as straight-headed as Xiao Dong, especially Su Qingyan,who had just warned herself . In the end, she committed a crime immediately after and was caught in the act .

“I didn’t mean to lie to you…” Xia Yuqing whispered, eyes staring pitifully at the old lady . She was trying hard to win some sympathy .

Feng Tingye saw Xia Yuqing’s panic and knew the reason for her panic . He smiled indifferently and embraced her waist thoughtfully .

On one hand, Xia Yuqing was given support, on the other hand, Xia Yuqing’s owners.h.i.+p was announced in front of everyone . He looked up and spoke to everyone: “Let Zhen speak . I guess you have already guessed my ident.i.ty, I am the current emperor of Ye Kingdom, Feng Tingye . ”

As soon as these words came out, the old lady and Su Qingyan all changed color . But Feng Tingye didn’t care much and continued to say: “As you have just heard, Ai Fei is Zhen’s concubine, Ye Country’s Consort Qing and the child inside her belly is Zhen’s . A month ago, Ai Fei was kidnapped when she was out of the palace . The kidnappers had the intention of harming Ai Fei and Zhen’s child . Since Ai Fei’s status was special and not knowing you guys’ background, she decided to conceal her ident.i.ty . She had no ill will . ”

“Feng Tingye…… . Feng… . . Feng…… you shouldn’t be…… “Su Qingyan seemed to think of something . The eyes staring at Feng Tingye became a bit colder .

Feng Tingye did not shy away and smiled: “Second master, I trust you have been well since we last met . The medicinal herbs you have ordered, Zhen will order the palace to send them and they will be delivered to your hands in a few days . ”

Su Qingyan narrowed his eyes, surprised: “It really is you! Ha ha, I didn’t know that the emperor of Ye Kingdom has the habit of posing and sneaking . ”

Feng Tingye didn’t care for his irony: “I just wanted to see how Ai Fei was doing . ”

Su Qingyan glanced at Xia Yuqing, who was buried like an ostrich in Feng Tingye’s arms and sneered: “The emperor and Lady Xia are such a harmonious and affectionate couple, it really makes one envious . ”

Feng Tingye ignored Su Qingyan’s sneer and sarcasm, but turned his eyes to the old lady who had acted as if she sank into deep water since he identified himself .

“It’s not time to say this . After we beat back the strong enemy together, I will explain it to everyone . ”

“Repel the strong enemy together? Why should we believe you?” The old lady seeing Feng Tingye look over finally spoke up, “Your Majesty, don’t forget this old body and Wu Jun are still rebels . We bore the ident.i.ty of traitors when we escaped . ”

Feng Tingye looked at the old lady deeply and said in a heavy voice: “What happened then was a misunderstanding . It’s a long story . Zhen will explain the implication with the old madam later . Zhen came here this time to take back Ai Fei and to return your innocence . ”

The old lady’s face changed slightly and a pair of weather-stricken eyes stared at Feng Tingye, as if she wanted to see if there was some conspiracy within his eyes, but it’s a pity … nothing was revealed .

“Why do you think we will believe you? How cunning is the royal family? Who knows whether this is a conspiracy you set up? How do we know that the villains who are besieging the strong hold outside isn’t part of your group? What if you just want to kill us all?”

When Xia Yuqing heard Su Qingyan’s question, she was a little anxious and looked up anxiously: “I can testify at this point that those outside are Jiang Feizao’s people and not the emperor’s people . The emperor would not do such dirty scheming . ”

Feng Tingye saw Xia Yuqing trying to protect him and felt his heart warm up instantly, but he couldn’t help but smile a little: “Ai Fei, it is Jiang Zhaorou, not Jiang Feizao . ”

Xia Yuqing rolled her eyes: “╭ (╯ ^ ╰ ) ╮, it’s all the same . ” She was speaking up for him, yet he even dared to laugh at her, such a white-eyed wolf!

“… . . ” Xiao Dong was slightly stunned .

“Okay, same meaning . ” Feng Tingye squeezed Xia Yuqing’s swollen face and turned to look at Su Qingyan and the madam . “Believe it or not, it’s all up to you two . Zhen means what he says and means no harm . Zhen could just take away Ai Fei, hide in a hiddent place and watch in safety whilst you guys fight . Once both sides are weak, Zhen could come out to reap the rewards from both sides . Wouldn’t that be a lot easier?”

Feng Tingye paused, looked at the two’s unsightly look and continued: “Zhen knows that the old lady has followed the general for many years . Zhen has heard that the old lady was a match for men and did not lack in terms of ability and bravery, that you would often follow the great general travelling around . It should not be hard for the madam to tell from their ability and appearance that they are not from the Ye Country . Does the old madam think that I will join together with people of another country in order to capture a rebel?”

“This … ” The old madam was speechless . After Feng Tingye’s reminder, she recalled that those people really were not like the people of Ye Kingdom .

Seeing that the old lady was somewhat shaken in his eyes, Feng Tingye added one last thing: “I stand here today, one because I have always paid attention and care about the old madam and the heirs of the Wu family . The second reason is because I know that Ai Fei would not want to see you and I fight and even less willing to see this stronghold get destroyed . ”

Feng Tingye finished speaking and felt Xia Yuqing holding his hand . The corner of his lips ticked upwards and he touched her hair to appease her .

“G.o.dmother…” Su Qingyan listened to Feng Tingye’s words . Although he was shaken, he was still a bit wary . He couldn’t make a conclusion, so he had to resort to the old lady .

The old lady turned her head to look at Xia Yuqing in Feng Tingye’s arms . She watched her carefully . There were some expectations and worries floating in her clear eyes, like a puppy worried about being abandoned by the owner .

Not knowing why, but the haze in the heart disappeared a lot . Then the old lady whispered with a smile: “Fine, just because of the Ya Tou, I will believe you once . If It trusted you wrongly, the worst case is just losing this old life . ”

Xia Yuqing was delighted and hurriedly broke free from Feng Tingye’s arms . She grasped the old lady’s hand and wondered what to say .

The old lady snorted coldly: “Wait until these wicked people are dealt with, then I will settle the accounts with you . ”

Xia Yuqing ignored the old lady’s indifference and laughed brightly .

While Yun Xi, who had been watching all this silently from the side, saw that the several people were finished discussing business, also came forward and whispered “Qing Jiejie, are you okay,? Did you get hurt just now?”

Xia Yuqing shook her head . Yun Xi turned to look at Feng Tingye who was standing not far away, remembering the scene where Xia Yuqing nested in his arms just now, then asked curiously, “That person is your child’s father?”

Xia Yuqing blushed and nodded . When the Ultra Seme Lord was mentioned before, she would never feel the best, but why was she so shy now? Could it be that staying with the Ultra Seme Lord for such a long time had made her skin become thinner? 囧 ~

Yun Xi didn’t pay much attention to Xia Yuqing’s sudden shyness . She turned to look at Feng Tingye not far away . This man was the emperor of Ye Kingdom . The new emperor who always used swift decisive decisions and schemes that caused the people from Shu Country to tremble in fear?

Yun Xi lowered her eyes, concealing the flas.h.i.+ng complexity in her eyes .

Xia Yuqing and the others rushed to the Wu Jun’s side, but Wu Jun’s side was not very relaxed .

“Boss, our brothers can barely hold on . These people are too much . It’s as if they don’t fear death . As soon as one dies, another would rush forward to fill in the hold . If this continues, the brothers would die from exhaustion!”

Wu Jun looked somber, he could tell that these people were dead soldiers . Dead soldiers will not give up until they achieve their goal . They would use their life to fight . If this goes on like this, his side may be seriously injured or killed .

But these people in front of him were the brothers who would always follow him! How can he watch them fall in front of him one by one? !

“Boss, boss, another team is rus.h.i.+ng from the other mountain road!”

Wu Jun froze and looked around . As expected, the smoke on the right mountain road was surging and the sound of horseshoes arose . It looked like it was a small team .

d.a.m.n, can it be that these dead soldiers have reinforcements?
