41 Tianbao Is Not a Dog
The Beiyun City magistrate had just taken two steps secretly with his back bent when Chu Tianbao used his movement technique to sneak into the middle of the road.
The magistrate glanced at the corpse beside him and the blood on his hands. He panicked and begged for mercy. “Sir please have mercy! It’s not my fault. All the orders were given by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d w.a.n.g Qiong. I’ll open the city gate and send you out of the city now!”
Chu Tianbao looked at Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong said coldly, “Then open the city gate quickly!”
The magistrate hurriedly got up and shouted at the soldiers, “What are you waiting for? Open the city gate!”
!!
Before the city gate opened, the commoners at the side all knelt down and begged, “Master, Madam, please save us. They s.n.a.t.c.hed all our food and silver and even forced us to a dead end…”
“Shut up! Troublemaker!” The magistrate threatened them in exasperation. No one would spit out what they had eaten.
In the next second, Chu Tianbao pressed his sword against the magistrate’s neck.
When the magistrate saw the cold blade on his neck, his legs trembled in fear and he knelt on the ground.
When the commoners saw the high and mighty magistrate reveal such a sorry state, they hurriedly kowtowed again and said, “Master, Madam, I beg you, ask them to let us go. In the next life, we’re willing to do anything for you. We’ll definitely set up a tablet for you and provide offerings for generations…”
The magistrate looked at the cold-faced Bai Wutong and felt the blade on his neck cut a hole in his flesh. His face turned pale with fear. He hurriedly said, “Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. I’ll get someone to return the items to them now.”
When the commoners heard the magistrate’s words, they cried tears of joy. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Wutong and the others. “Thank you for saving our lives, thank you for saving our lives…”
There was a large crowd of citizens. Looking across, the soldiers were just like the sand in the desert. In the end, they had not experienced the despair that the refugees had encountered. At this moment, they still did not think of resisting and were instead seeking help from others.
Even if they helped this time, they would still be lambs to the slaughter the next time.
Even the starving refugees outside could eat them alive.
Bai Wutong glanced at the city gate that was about to open completely. She sighed and said to the group, “Let’s go!”
In this chaotic world, all kinds of hardships could only be overcome by oneself.
The Beiyun City magistrate was chased out of the city by Chu Tianbao like a pig.
The entire team quickly attracted the attention of all the refugees. Qingfeng and his men had to kill a few waves of refugees to intimidate them.
Bai Wutong looked at the refugees with scarlet eyes and covetous gazes that seemed like they were about to transform into wild beasts at any moment. Then, she looked at the magistrate, who was panting after taking a few steps. She said to Chu Tianbao, “Let him go.”
“Let’s go!”
Chu Tianbao removed the sword from his neck. Just as the magistrate was rejoicing that his life was saved, he was surrounded by a group of refugees who looked like skeletons.
The magistrate looked around and realized that he was surrounded by refugees. He shouted in shock, “What are you trying to do?! I’m a magistrate. You lowly commoners, get lost!”
So what if he was a magistrate? He wouldn’t even give them a bowl of porridge! He deserved to die!
“Ah—!!!!”
A miserable cry came from behind. Bai Wutong looked back at the magistrate who was drowned in the refugees and sneered. Even if w.a.n.g Qiong was the culprit behind the chaos in the Beiyun City, as the official governing the people, the magistrate who knew but did not do anything was definitely not innocent.
The road from Beiyun City to Jiangyuan City had many obstacles set up to prevent refugees from escaping to Ling Kingdom.
Qingfeng led his men to open up a path with the explosives. The soldiers guarding the path did not dare to struggle uselessly and obediently retreated to the sides.
The team had just walked for more than half a mile when they heard an emergency signal from the Beiyun City. Heaven-shaking battles and wails came from afar.
Everyone stopped and looked back and forth. Looking at the Beiyun City that was almost burning red, the realization that Yan Kingdom was about to perish instantly enveloped them.
Village Chief Zhao sighed. “What a sin~”
Madam Yang also said sadly, “It’s all fate!”
Whether it was the citizens and soldiers in the city who resisted or the refugees who barged in, it would not take long for more refugees to catch up.
This road had been blocked for two days. If they hurried on with their journey now, it would save them a lot of trouble.
Bai Wutong looked away and gave the order. “Let’s move on!”
The two words that were said with a strong tone seemed to carry endless hope.
The sunlight pierced through the thick smoke and enveloped the carriage that Bai Wutong was in. It was dazzling and the horses seemed to be about to jump into the air at any moment.
Village Chief Zhao was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly smiled and said, “That’s right, it’s all fate. We’re lucky to have met Madam.”
Everyone had suffered varying degrees of injuries. After reaching a distance away from the Beiyun City, Bai Wutong immediately asked everyone to stop and treat their wounds. They had to eat something before moving on.
There were two deep cuts on Chu Tianbao’s arm. Bai Wutong rolled up his sleeve and saw them. There was a piercing pain in her heart as she frowned and asked, “Does it hurt?”
It was fine if she didn’t ask, but once she did, Chu Tianbao acted extremely delicate. He cried, “Wife, it hurts…”
Bai Wutong’s frown deepened. She took out his favorite milk candy and placed it in his mouth. She said gently, “Bear with it. I’ll apply the medicine for you first.”
She took the medicine from her bag and gently dabbed the wound with cotton.
It was stingy and numbing. Chu Tianbao did not feel any pain at all.
They were so close that Chu Tianbao could see nothing but her.
The milk candy melted in his mouth, and the rich milk fragrance rushed from his mouth to his brain. It was not as tempting as the faint fragrance emitted from his wife.
Chu Tianbao sniffed subconsciously, and his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent.
Bai Wutong tied a bow around his wound and looked up with satisfaction.
She was caught off guard.
Her smooth forehead was pressed against Chu Tianbao’s beautiful thin lips.
Bai Wutong’s eyes widened. Before she could react, Chu Tianbao subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked it.
The slightly hot and damp touch was like a soldering iron, scalding Bai Wutong’s heart.
She pushed Chu Tianbao away and asked with a flushed face, “Why are you acting like a dog?!” Fortunately, they were in the carriage and no one saw.
Chu Tianbao said helplessly and innocently, “My wife is fragrant, and Tianbao is not a dog.” He was still a little aggrieved. He didn’t understand why Bai Wutong couldn’t let him touch and kiss her.
His aggrieved expression appearing on the face of a bearded man was exceptionally comical.
Bai Wutong’s heart skipped a beat as she regretted her words.
How could she blame him if he didn’t understand anything?
Bai Wutong held out her hand and said gently, “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said that about you. Come here and I’ll wash your face.” His face was mottled with blood.
Chu Tianbao immediately raised his head. With tears in his eyes, he laughed and pounced into her arms. “Wife~” It was as if all his grievances had dissipated at this moment.
Bai Wutong stared at the big guy who was crying against her chest. Her eyebrows twitched and she suddenly wanted to curse!
