Chapter 14

Lin Yue’s Scheme

Chu Tianbao was tall and strong, dressed terrifyingly. He stood in front of Bai Wutong and held a dagger in his hand, but there was no fear on this man’s face.

Bai Wutong’s gaze landed on the screaming child in his arms. She already had a premonition.

“Give me your food!” Qingfeng ordered.

Sure enough, another food s.n.a.t.c.her.

Neither Bai Wutong nor Chu Tianbao reacted.

Qingfeng watched them expressionlessly as he fumbled in his robes.

Soon, he took out a huge dragon-patterned golden token and placed it in front of them.

This was obviously not for them, because two words were engraved on the gold plate.

Imperial edict!

Bai Wutong raised his eyebrows and sized him up carefully.

He was actually someone close to the emperor.

‘But why would someone with the Emperor come here with a child?’

Bai Wutong was distracted for a moment. Qingfeng said coldly, “Those who disobey will be killed!” He aimed his sword at Chu Tianbao’s chest.

“Wah wah wah wah—”

The child began to cry again, heartbreakingly.

Qingfeng did not coax him. Instead, he locked his eyes on Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao coldly, as if he would kill them on the spot if they did not give up the food.

Chu Tianbao’s eyes flashed with confusion. “Stinky?”

He looked back at Bai Wutong as if to ask if it was Stinky.

Bai Wutong did not see the confusion in his eyes. She poured out half of the porridge and half of the rabbit and placed it in front of Qingfeng.

She wasn’t afraid of Qingfeng, but she pitied the child.

With only half of the food, Qingfeng could not be bothered to argue with them. He put away his sword and carried the child to a big tree to sit down.

Then he raised the big bowl and prepared to feed the wailing child.

Bai Wutong found this scene abnormally familiar.

It was as if she was back in the cottage when it rained.

However, the person holding the child had changed from Lin Yue to Qingfeng.

Bai Wutong shook her head in her heart and reminded him kindly, “You have to feed him with a spoon.”

Qingfeng paused with the bowl in his hand and turned to look at her. Bai Wutong understood his expressionless face meant ‘Bring me a spoon’.

Bai Wutong sighed and handed him a spoon.

Suddenly, he noticed that the child in the swaddling clothes seemed a little familiar.

When Qingfeng fed the child porridge, Bai Wutong took a few more careful looks.

He was afraid that he had seen wrongly. After all, children looked alike.

When she saw it, she was shocked. Even the tuft of hair on his head looked exactly the same. If it wasn’t Stinky, it must be his twin!

Qingfeng fed the child a few mouthfuls. The child choked before he could swallow.

Stinky’s face was red from holding it in. He coughed a few times but did not recover.

When Chu Tianbao saw this, he said in shock, “Stinky is dying.”

Qingfeng glared at Chu Tianbao. “Shut up!”

Stinky stopped coughing and started crying again.

Qingfeng’s iceberg face finally cracked a little, and he looked anxious.

Bai Wutong held out her hand. “Let me try.”

Qingfeng looked at her and handed the child to Bai Wutong.

Bai Wutong picked the child up vertically and gently patted his back from bottom to top.

“Burp ~ Burp ~ Burp ~”

Stinky burped three times and finally returned to normal.

Qingfeng also heaved a sigh of relief as he let Bai Wutong hold the child and feed him.

After observing for a while, Qingfeng reached out and said, “I’ll do it myself.” He was afraid that something would happen to the child in Bai Wutong’s hands.

His concerned expression did not seem fake. Bai Wutong returned the child to him.

While she was still wondering who the child was.

Suddenly, there was the sound of galloping hooves.

Qingfeng immediately picked up the child and warned Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao. He picked up his sword and flew up to the treetops.

Bai Wutong looked up and saw Lin Yue appear in her vision with a group of people.

He probably didn’t recognize Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao and asked Chu Tianbao, “Warrior, did you see a person carrying a child pa.s.s by here?”

Chu Tianbao blinked. The moment he spoke, he was exposed.

“Stinky is in the tree.”

“Stinky is in the tree?”

The moment Lin Yue looked up, a sword light pierced towards him.

Lin Yue hurriedly dodged from the horse, but Qingfeng’s sword was extremely fast and struck his chest again.

Fortunately, the subordinate behind Lin Yue blocked the sword.

Lin Yue and the others quickly surrounded Qingfeng.

As Lin Yue fought Qingfeng, he said, “Return Young Master to us!”

Bai Wutong was even more certain that it was either his twin or Stinky.

‘Still. What a coincidence.’

She put away the pot and the roasted rabbit before they ruined the food.

As expected of the emperor’s men, Qingfeng was far stronger than Lin Yue and the others.

So many people and yet he was not injured at all. Instead, several guards had died.

Lin Yue suddenly pounced over to s.n.a.t.c.h the child.

Qingfeng stabbed him in the shoulder. Lin Yue was still stubbornly holding onto the baby’s clothes.

Probably afraid that the child would be hurt in the chaos, Qingfeng let go.

He planned to kill the rest of the guards first before s.n.a.t.c.hing the child back.

Lin Yue knew that even if all of them joined forces, they would not be able to defeat Qingfeng. Therefore, he ran a few steps and stuffed the child into Bai Wutong’s arms.

“Go quickly!” He had already recognized Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao.

Bai Wutong looked at the child in his arms, a little confused.

Qingfeng quickly finished off the other guards and chased after him with his sword.

The moment he aimed his sword at Bai Wutong, Chu Tianbao’s expression changed.

He kicked Qingfeng, who was caught off guard, to the ground.

Before Qingfeng could recover, he met Chu Tianbao’s lightning-fast dagger.

He rolled to the side and barely avoided it.

He looked at Chu Tianbao in surprise, as if he did not expect him to be so skilled.

“How dare you defy the Emperor!” Qingfeng said coldly.

What answered him was Chu Tianbao’s ferocious killing move.

Bai Wutong was Chu Tianbao’s bottom line. If Qingfeng dared to point his sword at her, Chu Tianbao would kill him mercilessly.

This was also the reason why Lin Yue wanted to hand the child over to Bai Wutong. He wanted to use Chu Tianbao to kill Qingfeng.

Chu Tianbao and Qingfeng, who looked murderous, fought fiercely.

The swords flashed and Qingfeng was at a disadvantage.

Bai Wutong was surprised that Chu Tianbao could last so long.

However, Qingfeng was no match for him. After being stabbed in the abdomen by Chu Tianbao’s dagger, he hurriedly escaped.

His sword was left behind where it was.

Chu Tianbao picked it up and waved it in his hand with a satisfied smile.

He turned to look at Wutong and asked, “Wife, can I keep it?”

Qingfeng’s sword was a good dark iron sword. It was sharp, beautiful, and could be worth a lot of money.

Bai Wutong nodded. “Sure.”

She turned her head and returned Stinky to Lin Yue with a cold expression.

She pitied the child, but she was not happy to be used.

Lin Yue met Bai Wutong’s gaze and smiled bitterly, forcefully holding back what he wanted to say.
