Chapter 250 - 248. Bring Me To Her

Third-person POV   Xu Tingfeng massaged Bai Huiqing's back so that she could

lie comfortably on the bed after weeks of laying down. Meanwhile, Xue Lang

rubbed Bai Huiqing's sore legs. Both of them intensely gawked at Shu Bian Que

who was checking Bai Huiqing's pulse. Shu Bian Que retracted his finger from

Bai Huiqing's wrist and proudly smiled.   "En, let her rest for now. I will prepare her medicine in my

daughter's clinic. Well then, I excuse myself." Shu Bian Que retreated from the

room.    A weak smile escaped from

Xu Tingfeng's lips as he gently laid Bai Huiqing down the bed. Then he noticed

Xue Lang's eyelids were getting heavier and Xue Lang was nodding off while

trying hard to stay awake.   Xu Tingfeng chuckled as he remembered that Xue Lang was still

little and need to have a nap to grow up faster. He picked Xue Lang up and lay

him down on the large bed beside Bai Huiqing. Xue Lang panicked because he was

afraid that he would accidentally hit Bai Huiqing in his sleep.   "Worry not, the bed is huge. Moreover, Grandpa is here to

look over you two. Quick sleep, kids need to get a lot of sleep!" Xu Tingfeng

lightly pressed Xue Lang's head onto the pillow.   "En." Xue Lang closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.   Xu Tingfeng stayed for a little while when a woman in

black-attire appeared behind the pearl curtain, "Master, His Majesty Emperor

has come for a visit and currently is waiting in the outer courtyard."   Xu Tingfeng sighed and rose from his seat, "Look over them.

Make sure nothing happens or else…"   "Yes, Master." The black-clothed woman bowed and stood on

guard beside the bed.   Xu Tingfeng wended his way to the guestroom in the outer

courtyard with Song Tao followed behind him. His smile from before faded away

as soon as he arrived at the front door of the guestroom. The guards opened the

door and revealed three people sitting around the round marble table. The three

of them stood up and saluted by cupping their fist.   "Greetings to father-in-law." Weisheng whole-heartedly

greeted.   "Greetings to Great General Xu." Lu Deng Xin and Lu Ping greeted.   Xu Tingfeng looked at the three of them with a nonchalant

expression on his face as he greeted back. They sat on their own seat and the

room instantly fell into a dead silence. The one that started the conversation

was the most unexpected person, it was Weisheng.   He cleared his throat and looked directly in Xu Tingfeng's

eyes to show his sincerity, "Father-in-law, I deeply apologize for neglecting

my duties in protecting Hong er."   Xu Tingfeng studied Weisheng's expression and sighed,

"Forget it. Xue Lang said it better than you do. Don't beat around the bush,

explain what really happened when I was in prison." . . "So it was like that. At that time, Bataar was around my

daughter's age so it was hard for me to kill him. Never thought that it would turn

out this way, I should have killed him." Xu Tingfeng gritted his teeth in

resentment.   "En, for now, we ensured the safety of the border and

decided to halt the war to restore our military strength as well as Great

General Xu's. In these few months, there were so many events that occurred and

drained our resources in different fields. The time we recovered completely, we

will charge in full attack." Lu Deng Xin explained as his eyes stayed on the

map on the table.   "One shot, one kill. En, this is the best strategy." Xu

Tingfeng nodded his head in agreement.   They discussed the plan even further to perfect it. Then, Lu

Ping turned his head to Xu Tingfeng, "So Great General Xu, where will you stay

after Madam Xu recovered?"   "Xi An," Xu Tingfeng replied shortly.   "Xi An? Isn't Da Chu stamped you as a traitor? Living that

close to Da Chu is not the best option, I tell you." Lu Ding Xin advised.   "Of course I know, but I am not running away from them. Xi An

is the land that was passed down by my ancestors. And my people are waiting for

my return in Xi An." Xu Tingfeng clenched his hands into fists.   The Lu father and son smiled at Xu Tingfeng's chivalrous

spirit, 'What a resemblance with his daughter.'   The Lu father and son looked at Xu Tingfeng and Weisheng who

had their heads lowered down and caused their bangs to cover their menacing

eyes. Feeling the atmosphere in the room started to get tenser, the Lu father

and son decided to escape before things happen.   "Well then, if there is nothing left to discuss. We shall

excuse ourselves." Lu Deng Xin put down his fan to reveal his sly grin.   The Lu father and son stood up in unison but before they

could take the first step away from the round table, Xu Tingfeng's hand slammed

down onto the table and caused the table to crack. "That Murong Qing girl." Xu Tingfeng muttered under his

breath as anger started to get in his head once again.   The Lu father and son broke into cold sweats when Xu

Tingfeng's deep voice that was filled with resentment resounded through the

room.   "Bring me to her." Xu Tingfeng growled.   No one dares to reply as the access toward the Special

Prison depends on the person that held the highest authority in the Royal

Palace, Weisheng. Weisheng lifted his head and looked at Xu Tingfeng who was

glaring at him.   "Follow me," Weisheng answered. . . At last, they arrived at the entrance of Special Prison. The

Lu father and son tailed them as they were curious of what Xu Tingfeng was

going to do with Murong Qing. They smoothly walked into the Special Prison

without being questioned because Weisheng personally lead Xu Tingfeng to Murong

Qing's cell.   But before they entered the last layer of the prison, Weisheng

halted and turned to Xu Tingfeng.   "Father-in-law, I can only guide you here. I have to

hide under the shadow." Weisheng politely explained before he merged into the

shadow without an inch of his presence could be traced.   Xu Tingfeng was amazed by Weisheng's control of his own

power. Then the guards opened the gate to the prison after Weisheng concealed

his presence. He was afraid that Murong Qing would babble unnecessary things that

would make him unconsciously kill her.   Murong Qing's eyelids fluttered open when she heard the sound

of a metal gate being opened. The sound of the soles stamped against the hard

cemented floor echoed throughout the narrow corridor.   The light on the candles flickered as the Qi that emitted

from the person almost blown the light out. From what she could hear, the

amount of the people that she deducted from the sound of the steps was much

more compared that usual.   'So many?!' Murong Qing bit her lip in fear.   Her heart pounded as the heavy steps were getting closer and

closer to her cell. Murong Qing weakly lifted her head up when the door to her

cell opened. Her body shuddered when the familiar golden eyes shone brightly

amidst the darkness.   "N-no…im-impossible…I have thrown you away! How can you be back?!

Your eyes are in me. IMPOSTER! GUARDS!" Murong Qing shrieked as she struggled

to escape from the chains that bind her.   Xu Tingfeng clenched his jaw in fury, he took a few steps

forward and the light from the small window behind Murong Qing highlighted his

dark face. Murong Qing immediately shut her lips as she realized that the

person in front of her wasn't Hong er, but Xu Tingfeng.   "How dare you…towards my daughter…" Xu Tingfeng's fist

trembled as a visible red Qi radiated from his fists.   The Lu father and son panicked when they saw a Guan Dao

summoned in Xu Tingfeg's hand, "Don't kill her!"   Xu Tingfeng lifted his Guan Dao and swung his Guan Dao in

one powerful strike. A moment of silence, no one dares to utter a voice. In the

next second, Murong Qing's four limbs dangled around while her body fell to the

ground like a lump of meat.   Only her head, chest, and abdomen were left intact. Murong

Qing let out an ear-piercing screech as she could only move her head and neck.   Xu Tingfeng swatted the blood that stained his Guan Dao and

turned around to leave the prison, "Feed her her own flesh."   Song Tao bowed and went to clean up the bloody mess. The Lu

father and son were left speechless. Weisheng soundlessly walked away from the

scene with an appeased feeling bloomed in his heart.
