Chapter 420: Bai Luochu’s Questioning (1/2)
The commander felt that Pei Rumo made sense and he immediately replied, “This subordinate understands. I will be careful with my report after I return. They won’t be able notice anything wrong.”
He turned to leave after speaking.
After seeing that the commander had left, Pei Rumo let out a sigh of relief. He turned and glared at Pei Qingfeng, “Look at what you’ve done! I had to lie to my soldier to cover up for you. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
In fact, Pei Qingfeng was shocked at the sudden appearance of Pei Rumo’s soldier. He never thought that Pei Rumo would cover up for him and he felt a little curious. “Why did you help me? I even thought you would use the chance to get rid of me. Wasn’t I an obstacle in your way?”
Pei Rumo glanced at Bai Luochu from the corner of his eye and he said, “Why are you asking so many questions? I don’t wish for Luo Chu to worry for you.”
After hearing what Pei Rumo said, Pei Qingfeng started to laugh, “I knew it! This is a great move by Your First Highness…” He seemed to have thought of something and he continued, “Then again, I need to thank you. If not for your timely interference, I might not be able to remain here in one piece.” After he spoke, he bowed to Pei Rumo respectfully.
As his first brother, Pei Rumo shamelessly accepted the bow. Even though he didn’t wish for Bai Luochu to be sad, he put in too much effort to cover for Pei Qingfeng. “You should be more careful in the Desolate Region. If anyone wants to make things difficult for you, you’ll be in trouble.”
“I thank Your First Highness for your concern. I will keep your advice in mind.”
“Are you two done? Why don’t you answer my question instead? What is this about the death sentence for sneaking onto a battlefield?!” Bai Luochu snapped when she saw that the two of them were done acting.
Pei Qingfeng felt a headache coming. He couldn’t possibly come clean with her, right? He started to stutter, “Um… Luoluo, I heard the innkeeper say something about hunting some wild animals for lunch. Would you like to try some?”
“Less nonsense! Since you’re willing to say it, I shall ask Pei Rumo instead. Your First Highness, tell me everything.” Bai Luochu was obviously anxious and she hastily turned to Pei Rumo for an explanation.
“WHAT?! The two of you are really capable aren’t you?! If not for me learning this information by chance, are you going to hide it from me forever? Are you planning to hide this from me until Pei Qingfeng is sentenced to death? Since you know about the punishment, shouldn’t you stop him?! Even if he comes to the Desolate Region, you should’ve sent him back!” Bai Luochu felt that the two of them were really messing around. Are they treating this as a game?!
