The Emperor’s Sharp Blade
After a while, Village Chief Zhao rushed over to meet Bai Wutong. “Madam Bai, there’s not enough food for us to eat on the way.”
They had gone to the grain shop to queue up to buy it the day before. Each person could only buy 10 catties, but the stock was finished by the time it was the 10th person’s turn.
...Village Chief Zhao had originally planned to go early in the morning. Who knew that the emperor would die at this critical moment?
He really did not do anything good when he was alive. He even implicated the commoners when he died.
If there was only the current amount of food, it would not be enough to last so many people to reach Ling Kingdom.
Bai Wutong frowned. Lin Yue said, “Village Chief Zhao, don’t worry. I’ve already gotten someone to prepare the food and herbs. There are other things in the warehouse. Just bring along everything we need. The carriage is also ready.”
When Village Chief Zhao heard this, he immediately kowtowed excitedly to Bai Wutong. “Thank you, Madam Bai. You and Master Chu are our benefactors!”
Lin Yue agreed in his heart. If not for Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong, he would not have thought of traveling with the Zhao farmyard and the others.
She was not the one who prepared these things. Bai Wutong helped Village Chief Zhao up and said, “Don’t mention it.”
Village Chief Zhao thought that she was being modest and said optimistically, “With you around, Madam Bai, all of us will definitely be safe.”
Bai Wutong forced a smile. “I hope so.” With so many people on the road and the long journey, who knew what else would happen?
At dawn, the entire residence sorted out a total of 20 carriages at the fastest speed. Coupled with the belongings from Zhao farmyard, the team was extremely huge.
If not for the fact that there were many guards protecting Stinky, they would not have dared to set off like this.
The masters were leaving after staying for only a night, and they even brought so many supplies with them. The servants in the residence immediately sensed that something was wrong.
When Lin Yue was about to dismiss them, the maidservants without any relatives knelt on the ground and begged Bai Wutong, “Madam, we can do anything. We’re not afraid of suffering. Please, bring us along.”
Most of them were young and beautiful girls. Without anyone to protect them, not to mention protecting their own money, even they themselves would not be able to escape.
Bai Wutong’s eyes swept across them.
These maidservants were all thin and weak. Even when they were walking out of the city, they looked like they had to take a few deep breaths. They were not as loyal as the people from the Zhao farmyard. Bringing them along was completely a burden.
However, these people did not belong to her. Bai Wutong directly looked at Lin Yue, indicating that he should make the decision himself.
Lin Yue said coldly, “Take the silver and leave quickly.”
On the way to escape, there were at least dozens of strong guards from Zhao’s farmyard, so they would not be a burden. Who would have the time to care about a group of maidservants who could not even lift their hands?
The maidservants sobbed and begged, “Madam, Master, please. We will definitely be obedient and protect our young master to death. Please bring us along.”
They all hated Qing Yi to death now. They felt that if not for Qing Yi, Bai Wutong would have even brought them along, instead of the group of country bumpkins.
Just as Lin Yue was about to chase them away, the sound of galloping hooves came from the entrance.
In just a short while, a large group of men with dark tattoos and swords appeared in front of everyone.
Bai Wutong looked up and was immediately surprised.
The man in the lead was Qing Feng, who was disguised as a man.
She was so seriously injured, but she was still alive!
Furthermore, she was full of vigor and had even brought so many people here.
Bai Wutong found it unbelievable, but she could not help but admire her tenacious vitality.
Qing Feng’s gaze landed on Stinky, who was in Bai Wutong’s arms. She ordered coldly, “Hand over the child!”
Lin Yue was also surprised. He clearly saw that Qing Feng was seriously injured.
If he had known this would happen, he would have killed her then.
Lin Yue’s face darkened. “Protect the Young Master!”
The guards immediately lined up in front of Bai Wutong and the others.
Qing Feng glanced at Bai Wutong and waved her hand. The experts from the Dark Guards Team behind her immediately dismounted and fought fiercely with the guards.
When the maidservants, who had just sworn to protect their young master, saw the battle breaking out, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They immediately hid in the residence and packed their bags to leave.
The people from the Dark Guards Team were all top-notch experts. Although Lin Yue led more guards, they were almost unable to hold on.
Zhao Pengfei looked at Village Chief Zhao. “Dad!” It was obvious what he meant.
Village Chief Zhao nodded and turned to the young men of Zhao farmyard. He said firmly, “Madam has done us a great favor. Now that she’s in trouble, we can’t sit back and do nothing. Go and protect Young Master!”
“Protect the young master!”
Seeing the young man from Zhao’s farmyard join the battle, Huang Zhong, who was filled with thoughts of repaying the favor, pulled out a fortune tree from the pot beside him and was about to rush up. “Master, I’m here to save Little Young Master too!”
Huang Zhong’s bamboo-like body held a fortune tree, but he gave off a feeling that even the fortune tree was stronger than him.
The members of the Dark Guards Team could break him with just one finger.
“Move aside. Watch over your aunt and the others. Don’t cause trouble here!” Ye Wu said fiercely and went up with the saber in Huang Zhong’s place.
If he died, his nephew’s debt would be repaid.
Lin Yue said to Bai Wutong anxiously, “Madam, Master, bring Young Master into the carriage first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Feng attacked them.
Lin Yue barely blocked the sword, and Qing Feng rushed towards Bai Wutong at an extremely fast speed.
Chu Tianbao’s eyes instantly turned cold, and his entire body emitted a powerful hostility.
Qing Feng had suffered under his hands before and did not want to be entangled with him. He ordered the others in the Dark Guards Team, “Stall him!”
The people from the Dark Guards Team immediately took out their men to block Chu Tianbao’s sharp sword move.
They did not expect Chu Tianbao to be so powerful.
The internal energy hidden in the sword broke through several people’s attacks.
The Dark Guards Team immediately sent out more people to surround Chu Tianbao.
After all, they were top-notch experts. No matter how powerful Chu Tianbao was, it would take some time for him to wipe them out at the same time.
At this moment, Qing Feng had already arrived in front of Bai Wutong. Lin Yue was also being stalled and could not escape.
Just as Qing Feng was about to grab Stinky, Huang Zhong appeared.
Qing Feng pointed her sharp sword at him.
Ye Wu saw it from the corner of his eye and shouted, “Zhong’er!”
Just as everyone thought that Huang Zhong was dead for sure, Bai Wutong, who had been standing still, kicked him to the ground at lightning speed.
Huang Zhong, who had fallen down, was a little dumbfounded. When he turned around, his eyes immediately turned red. Madam Bai had saved him for the third time just now!
How could he repay such a huge favor!
Qing Feng saw that it was her and abruptly sheathed her sword.
However, Bai Wutong did not show any mercy. She aimed the pepper spray that she had already prepared at Qing Feng and sprayed fiercely.
A burning pain immediately assaulted Qing Feng’s eyes.
With a clang, the sword in Qing Feng’s hand fell to the ground.
“Don’t move!”
Everyone looked up and saw that Bai Wutong’s sharp axe was already pressed against Qing Feng’s neck.
Qing Feng endured the pain that ordinary people could not imagine and gritted her teeth as she ordered, “Don’t worry about me!”
Everyone in the Dark Guards Team only paused for a moment before immediately following Qing Feng’s orders to continue attacking. They really did not care about the life of the Dark Guards Team commander.
She would rather die to complete the emperor’s order. As expected of the sharp blade in the emperor’s hand.
“Kill her, Madam!” Lin Yue shouted.
At this moment, a large group of soldiers quickly rushed out of the residence and surrounded all of them.
