His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Chapter 113 The Report 3

Feng knew that they were being chased, but his pace was a bit slower than usual because he was carrying Qiao Qiao. They went to a secluded place to avoid creating a ruckus and caught the attention of unwanted people. The people who chased them seemed to have more prominent skills than the previous batch, so they quickly caught up to him.

Before they reached him, Feng quickly told Qiao Qiao to hide and cover himself inside a thick bush. He made sure that Qiao Qiao couldn’t be seen from the outside and told him, "Don’t move around and don’t make any sound! Stay here and I will be back to pick you up, okay?"

Qiao Qiao nodded obediently. "Yes, Ge ge. Thank you for saving me."

Feng only patted his head and smiled. He didn’t say anything else, but quickly turned around and ran to another direction. His diversion task was quite successful because the chasers were following him. They didn’t see him when he hid Qiao Qiao and Feng sighed in relief. It was easier for him to deal with the chasers.

One of the chasers threw a small knife at Feng’s direction. Feng could feel the whooshing sound of the moving dagger and he quickly dodged. He turned back and threw one of his daggers and it hit one of the chasers on the leg. The man fell down and groaned, but he was unable to chase them anymore.

The various actions that he just did had made his pace slower and one of the chasers was able to catch up to him. The man pierced his sword in the direction of Feng’s shoulder, Feng was able to dodge it. However, he was unable to block the attack from behind and his back was sliced by another sword. It didn’t cut really deep and probably because of the adrenaline, he didn’t feel the pain at all. He continued to defend himself and attacked when he saw a good chance

He saw an opening when one of his chasers was stumbling. Feng quickly seized the chance and pierced the heart of the man. He didn’t feel pity to his enemies, besides, he was dealing with a cruel group. Feng started to get tired and he counted that there were still four people left to handle. His energy had been depleted, but he persisted to hold on and fight them.

One of the men taunted him, "Don’t you feel tired? Why don’t you give up and let us know the child’s whereabouts."

Feng sneered at the man. "Do you think I’m stupid? You will kill me even if I tell you about the kid. So... over my dead body."

Feng was quite angry, so he felt a surge of energies from inside his body. He managed to kill one of them by slicing his neck with one powerful slash. The rest of the men were surprised that their opponent was still able to kill one of their people. It made them get angrier and one of them yelled, "Kill him!"

This order aroused the rest of the men’s spirit and they attacked him menacingly. They managed to slash a few parts of Feng’s body, but the latter didn’t seem to hesitate using it to his advantage. He let one of the men pierced his shoulder blade and in turn, he pierced his heart. Only two left, but the two of them were the ones with higher skills. Feng knew that he was at disadvantage and smiled bitterly to himself. This was the first task given by his new master and it would be crazy if he failed to do the job properly.

Feng kicked the chest one of the men and then turned around to pierce the man behind him with a sword. He was on point and pierced the stomach of the men, but before he could pull back his sword, he could feel the movement of the wind behind him. He knew that the man that he kicked before already regain his posture and tried to stab him. He knew that he wasn’t going to be able to dodge it in time.

"Feng, be careful!"

When he thought he was going to be heavily injured -- or worse, dead, he heard Xiu’s voice. The stab never happened and when he turned around, the man was already falling down and dead on the spot. It seemed like Xiu threw a dagger to his vital point and killed him in one swift move. Feng and Xiu’s skills were almost on par with each other. They had the same master so their technique was basically almost the same.

"Thank you, Xiu!"

Xiu sighed in relief. "Luckily, I arrived in time. Our secret method to find each other’s whereabouts is finally useful." They were taught a secret method to track each other by their master. It was a method by enhancing their profound qi and could only be done by them --- identical twins with spirit connection.

Xiu walked to Feng’s direction to see how he was doing. "Feng, you are injured, right? I can feel the piercing pain on my shoulder blade too!"

"I’m fine. Come on! We have to go back and bring Qiao Qiao to Ning jie’s house! It’s already late!" Feng said in a rush.

"Why don’t we treat your wounds first?" Xiu felt worried.

"There’s no time. I’m also afraid that the captors will find out Qiao Qiao’s hiding place!"

"But..."

"Xiu, my task hasn’t finished yet!"

Xiu nodded in agreement because he knew how stubborn Feng is. He wouldn’t treat his wounds until he finished his task. They found out that Qiao Qiao was still on the same spot and probably because he was in shock, Qiao Qiao got a fever. They quickly sent Qiao Qiao to Ning jie’s house and when Qiao Qiao finally met with his parents, they sighed in relief. They rejected their offer to stay and quickly went back to Wang Fu.

Yao Ying was in surprised when she heard the whole story. "I thought this is just a simple matter about Wang Fu’s inner household matter, but they have a lot of subordinates! Is there another force behind this Liu Li?"

"Ying... let Feng rest and let Xiu tend his wounds. We can talk about this later." Yao Ling looked at Feng in worried. Previously she thought that he only had superficial wounds, but there was one deep wound --- it seemed like he was pierced by a sharp sword. "Xiu... it seems like Feng has a deep wound on his shoulder blade. Pay more attention to it. Both of you can rest. Do you want to break the news to Xiao Yu?" Yao Ling threw the question at Xiu.

Xiu shook his head. "This servant needs to treat Feng’s wound. This servant would like to ask Young Mistress’ help to tell everything to Xiao Yu." After all, his brother is also one of the most important persons in his life.

Both Yao Ling and Xiu had a tacit understanding about which matter that Xiu referred to. It was to the fact that Xiao Yu’s younger brother was forced to see the sexual act by Liu Li. Yao Ling nodded and let them go. "Call Xiao Yu over when you are going out." Yao Ling gave Xiu an order.

When Xiao Yu came, Yao Ling told her everything from the beginning to the end --- without leaving out any small details. Xiao Yu was heartbroken and cried when she heard what her brother had been through. She felt slightly guilty, it all happened because they wanted to control her and it made her family suffer.

Yao Ling saw the guilt look and tried to cheer her up, "It’s not your fault. If you want someone to blame, then blame me. After all, it’s all happened because of me." Yao Ling indeed felt guilty. If Xiao Yu didn’t serve her, she probably wouldn’t be involved in this matter.

"Young Mistress! This isn’t because of you! This is the work of evil people!" Xiao Yu quickly denied what Yao Ling had said.

"That’s right! This is the fault of that evil people, so you need to calm down and stop blaming yourself. I will give you a holiday tomorrow. Just go to Ning jie’s house and tell me how’s Qiao Qiao holding up! Spend your time with your family, okay?" Yao Ling urged her to go and enjoy herself for once.

Xiao Yu was genuinely touched and happy at the same time. "Thank you, Young Mistress!"

"Go! Ask Xiu whether he needs your help or not. Feng is hurt because he tried to save Qiao Qiao." Yao Ling wanted Xiao Yu to show her gratefulness to Xiu and Feng, after all, they put a lot of efforts to save her brother.

"Yes, Young Mistress." Xiao Yu quickly went out and tried to find the brothers.

Yao Ling massaged her forehead, feeling that everything was a bit too much to handle. She enjoyed the new wealth, but with it... came a lot of responsibilities and problems to handle.

"Are you feeling tired?" Yao Ying asked softly.

"A little bit." Yao Ling looked up and forced a smile to appease Yao Ying. Yao Ying seemed to understand what she was thinking about and kissed her lips softly. It pained his heart that she had to go through a lot since they arrived at Wang Fu.

"Come on! Let’s call it a day!" Yao Ying said softly. They both were already tired and it was best to sleep.
