Chapter 103 If he died (2)
Situ Yaohua’s subordinate knew that the matter was not easy to handle when he heard Situ Yaohua’s tone. He had already looked at the people of Lin Qing’s residence carefully. The person that His Highness was looking for was not among them. It would be in vain to go once again, but since Situ Yaohua had issued the order, he has to comply.
The subordinate bowed his head respectfully, took the order and left. Situ Yaohua suddenly touched the face of the person in the painting very gently and very carefully, but there was a breathtaking coldness in his eyes. Situ Yaohua slowly said, “Perhaps, I have never seen your true face. However, Lin Qing can’t come back now. Since you don’t want to follow me, then, disappear with Lin Qing.”
Noble and proud, elegant and cruel, this was also Situ Yaohua.
Ever since he bought a certain general of the northwest and made it so that Lin Qing’s state of being dead or alive was unknown, Situ Yaohua’s situation had improved and he was currently winning in the fight with Situ Wenrui. As long as he moved a step forward, Situ Wenrui might lose everything.
Therefore, Situ Yaohua had been living very well recently. However, once a person was comfortable, he would want to get more. Since, he caused Lin Qing’s status to be unknown, then, Lin Qing’s things should become his trophies and his woman should surrender beneath his body.
Hence, Situ Yaohua sent someone to Lin Qing’s residence. He wanted to bring out the person he liked and let her see who she should surrender to.
However, Situ Yaohua obviously calculated wrongly. The person he wanted to find left the capital a long time ago. Therefore, even if he turned Qiansui’s residence upside down, he would not find any trace of Zhao Zimu.
Situ Yaohua looked at the person in the painting with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes and he murmured, “Could it be that she actually left with Lin Qing?”
With a bang, ink splashed all over the table. Situ Yaohua looked angrily at the person in the painting and said, “How could he compare to this crown prince? He is just a eunuch without testicles. This crown prince will definitely make you regret it!”
However, those who were frustrated or pleased with themselves and those who didn’t know the situation wouldn’t have thought that only a few days needed to pass for all this to turn over one by one. By then, the whole court would be greatly affected.
…
On the grassland of the northwest, Chen Jing and the others fought desperately with the wolves, but they couldn’t withstand the fierceness of the wolves. Soon, people on their side began to die.
The howls of the wolves and the roars of the humans were soon mixed together. It was no longer able to distinguish the wolf blood from the human blood. Many soldiers were wounded. Blood dripped from the bite. Their flesh and blood fell piece by piece. Several of the wolves had also died.
The gaze of the wolf’s head was very cruel. A few wolves were always around it. It constantly howled and gave orders to the wolves.
Chen Jing was skilled at this kind of battle of confronting the enemy face to face. Because there were many wolves, he divided his men into groups to form many circles.
The people outside the circle slashed and killed the wolves coming from different direction. The archers in the formation took their time to release the arrows.
Not long after that, the casualties of the wolves increased. The angry howls of the wolves rang louder in the dark night.
Ling Er also woke up because of the noise. She clutched her heavy forehead and stared at the situation in front of her. Horror slowly appeared in her eyes.
“Don’t move!” Chen Jing shouted at her. Chen Jing and some of his soldiers stayed by her side. Seeing her wake up at this time, he quickly shouted at her.
Three hours later, the first wave of attack by the wolves stopped. Both sides suffered a bit of a heavy loss. Five or six wolves died on the side of the wolf pack, but Chen Jing’s side also lost one person. One person was seriously injured and there was countless of minor injuries.
The head of the wolves was unwilling to look more at this group of people who were more powerful than ordinary herdsmen on the grassland. It gave the order to retreat with a howl.
The wolves had come silently and left like a retreating aging tide, leaving behind a few wolf’s corpses and taking the life of one soldier.
Chen Jing silently ordered everyone to treat their wounds on spot. The bonfire was ignited again. The fire made crackling sound. Even if the wolves came again, they had tools to deter them.
Not only were the people dangerous on the grassland. The wolves were even more dangerous.
Ling Er walked slowly to Chen Jing, looked at his bitten arm and murmured, “I’m sorry.”
If it were not for protecting her, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt.
Ling Er was still feverish. Seeing that Chen Jing didn’t answer her, she said in daze, “I will let my miss compensate you.”
“Who is your miss?” Chen Jing tore off a clean strip of his clothes and casually tied it to his arm. He tore off another piece and moistened it with water. He let Ling Er lay down and pressed it to her forehead.
“Miss…,” Ling Er was really muddleheaded because of the fever. After feeling the cold on her forehead, she rubbed against Chen Jing’s knees and leaned against his legs like a noodle.
Chen Jing froze for a moment, but he didn’t push her away. He pretended to not see and moved his gaze to the other side.
Forget it. So be it, because she was a patient, Chen Jing thought. It was just that his gaze looking at the side was very gentle.
