43 Treasure Map
Qingfeng and the others were so skilled at martial arts. How could they have fallen to a plot?
Moreover, how could the other party not kill them after plotting against them? He even let them lie on the road where someone would pass by at any time.
Bai Wutong found that strange. “Is there no danger around?”
Lin Yue said, “I’ve checked. There’s no problem.”
Bai Wutong asked everyone to speed up.
!!
After a while, they saw Qingfeng and the others lying on the side of the road. Lin Yue’s men had just dragged them over.
Most of their horses were still grazing around and had been brought back by Lin Yue’s men.
Fortunately, the soldiers had sealed off the road and there were no refugees. Other than the four horses that had run away, the losses were not too great.
Bai Wutong walked up to Qingfeng and checked on her.
What she saw surprised her.
Qingfeng was severely injured, but her body was no different from a normal person. However, she was unconscious with a painful expression.
Bai Wutong lay down and listened carefully to her heart rate. She checked her pulse and looked at her eyes and tongue. She immediately frowned and helped Qingfeng into the carriage.
Bai Wutong lifted her clothes and realized that the wounds on her chest and abdomen had yet to scab over. They were still covered in blood. It was already fortunate that she did not die immediately, but her body reaction was the same as a normal person. This situation was too strange.
No matter how strange it was, her external injuries still needed to be treated. Otherwise, after the wound was inflamed and rotted, even a Heavenly immortal would not be able to save her.
Bai Wutong instructed Lin Yue, “Bring all of them along and find a place to camp.” The sun was about to set anyway.
“Yes.”
Lin Yue immediately cleared a few carriages for them and piled the secret guards up like trash.
At one glance, they would look like a cart of corpses.
It was quite frightening.
After the carriage stopped, Bai Wutong asked Chu Tianbao to guard outside the carriage to prevent anyone from suddenly barging in.
After confirming that Qingfeng was unconscious, Bai Wutong injected her with anesthesia and prepared to operate on her.
She had realized just now that Qingfeng’s heart was different from ordinary people’s. It was on the right, so it had avoided the vital hits.
Bai Wutong could treated them as an ordinary external injury.
It was dark when Bai Wutong finally came out of the carriage.
Seeing that she was covered in blood, Chu Tianbao asked in panic, “Wife, what’s wrong?”
Bai Wutong looked tired. “I’m fine. It’s not my blood. I’m just a little tired and want to rest for a while.”
Chu Tianbao immediately lifted and carried Bai Wutong.
On the way, when they slept in the wilderness, Chu Tianbao often hugged her like this to rest.
Bai Wutong did not find anything strange. She nodded and slowly closed her eyes as she leaned against his broad chest.
Madam Yang, who had wanted to call Bai Wutong for dinner, immediately stopped in her tracks when he saw the two people hugging in the carriage. She secretly laughed and instructed the others not to disturb them.
When Bai Wutong woke up, Qingfeng was still asleep. None of the other people in the Dark Guards Team were awake either.
This made Bai Wutong wonder if the emperor had given them a special medicine.
The emperor was dead and Qingfeng and the others had lost the antidote, so they became like this.
Lin Yue said, “If they don’t eat, drink, or wake up, they will die soon right?”
Bai Wutong thought for a moment. “Let’s observe for another two days.” She really didn’t want Qingfeng to die after all the time she’d spent.
Madam Yang walked over and said, “Madam, we stewed a black chicken. It’s still hot.”
Bai Wutong happened to be hungry too. When Chu Tianbao heard the word black chicken, his eyes lit up.
The others had already eaten. This black chicken was probably specially made for them.
When the lid of the pot was lifted, the rich fragrance of chicken soup immediately wafted out.
It attracted the glutton within Bai Wutong.
Madam Yang filled up a large bowl for her. It was simply too much. Bai Wutong could not finish it at all, so she poured a lot of chicken into Chu Tianbao’s bowl. Chu Tianbao ate until his mouth was covered in oil and was extremely satisfied.
Bai Wutong took a sip of the soup first. The taste of the mushrooms and chicken soup was completely fused. It was fresh and fragrant. Bai Wutong took another big sip before exclaiming in satisfaction. “Auntie Yang, your cooking is really good.”
Madam Yang pretended to be humble and said with a smile, “Aiyah, it’s just that it’s a little better than those people in the village. If Madam likes it, we’ll cook for you in the future.”
Bai Wutong smiled. “Alright, Auntie. We’ll follow you and eat all your meals in the future.”
They had enough food at the moment. Bai Wutong did not need to take out ingredients from the space. With someone cooking, she and Chu Tianbao saved themselves the trouble.
Madam Yang was overjoyed. “Alright, I’ll definitely cook well for you guys.” Bai Wutong really treated them as her own people. Previously, when they sent food to Bai Wutong, she would not accept it.
After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Wutong finally remembered that she still had a sheepskin map in her arms.
When Lin Yue saw her take out the sheepskin map, his gaze immediately glued to it. He was mysterious and wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he was constipated.
By the light of the fire, Bai Wutong could see that there were many ingot patterns marked on the map. She turned to look at Lin Yue and raised her eyebrows, conveying a message though her gaze to ask if this was the legendary treasure map?
Before Lin Yue could answer, Bai Wutong had already smiled and confirmed that this was where Sheng Huaixuan hid the money.
It was no wonder Lin Yue could take out so much money at any time.
Looking into Bai Wutong’s smiling eyes, Lin Yue’s heart beat like a drum, and he didn’t know how to speak.
At that time, he thought that his chances of survival were slim, so he gave the map to Bai Wutong.
If he asked for it back now, Bai Wutong would definitely feel that he had no credibility.
Bai Wutong beamed at him. “This is for me, isn’t it?”
The fact that the young master was safe and sound now was all thanks to Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao. In any case, the function of the treasure map was to ensure that the young master reached Ling Kingdom safely. Since Bai Wutong had the capability, why not give it to her?
In any case, this was only the tip of the iceberg of their master’s assets. Moreover, the situation was critical at that time, and he still had a map in his pants that he had yet to take out.
Even if Bai Wutong was unwilling to give Little Young Master a single cent, he could still take good care of him.
Moreover, if his master knew how much Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao had sacrificed for the young master, he would definitely not blame him for making this decision.
Lin Yue looked up again with a firm gaze. “Yes, this is for Madam.”
Bai Wutong only wanted to tease him, but she didn’t expect him to really give it to her.
Suddenly, she thought of something and pretended not to accept it. She rejected it and said, “If you give it to me, what will you use?” Lin Yue still had so many subordinates to raise.
Lin Yue was even more touched. He did not expect Bai Wutong to be so considerate of them. He hurriedly said, “Madam, don’t worry. I have my ways. Just accept it. If our master is here, he will definitely make you accept it.”
With that, Bai Wutong finally understood that Lin Yue must have had a backup plan. She didn’t pretend anymore. The corners of her lips curled up as she placed the sheepskin map neatly in her arms. “Alright, since you insist that I accept it, I can’t reject your kindness.”
Bai Wutong’s movements were so fast that she did not look embarrassed at all. However, Lin Yue had to smooth things over. The corners of his mouth twitched as he said, “Madam is right.”
