Chapter 47 - 47. The Incident (1/2)
Third person POV
Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zihao followed Xu Tingfeng's entourage to Xi An, they dressed up like other elite forces and followed them from the dark. As it was one of their objective, this was part of their training.
After 1 week, they arrived at Xi An's main gate. Xu Tingfeng and his entourage were welcomed warmly by Xi An's citizen. They communicated with the citizen for a while before they went to Xu residence.
The servants were waiting for them in front of the gate and greeted them when they saw Xu Tingfeng and his entourage. The servants helped Bai Huiqing and Hong er out when they came out from their carriage. They were so happy that their masters were back. They prepared Xu Tingfeng's, Bai Huiqing's, and Hong er's favorite dish.
But what surprised them was the two newcomer that dressed up like the elite force. They didn't recognize the two of them as they covered their face with a mask. But after they opened their mask, the servants immediately kneeled and apologize for not recognizing them.
Even though Xu Zhiqiang's and Xu Zihao's eyes were black, the servants could still recognize them as they had trained with them in Spider Lily when they were younger. Since the incident 7 years ago, Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing don't trust people as much as the past. The servants in this residence were trained in Spider Lily before they came here, their ability and capability were tested there.
As for the personal servants, most of them were elite forces or ex elite forces. Xu Tingfeng's butler, Song Tao, was Xu Tingfeng's teacher when he was younger. He really trusted Song Tao as his confidant as he usually consoled many things to Song Tao. As such war strategy, residence's management as well as elite forces mentor.
Xu Tingfeng was called by Long Quan with his imperial edict one week before Bai Huiqing gave birth. Xu Tingfeng couldn't reject the edict or else his action would be stamped as rebellion. All of his family could be sentenced to death, he had a bad feeling about this.
Song Tao played a major role in that event, he sent a message as soon as Bai Huiqing's water broke. He had been guarding the labor room for 4 hours straight when suddenly a group of assassins attacked the residence.
But as the assassins targets were Bai Huiqing and the baby, most of the assassins were attacking him. The assassins were as strong as the elite forces and half of the elite forces followed Xu Tingfeng to the capital. And to make it worst, the elite forces that stayed at the residence were trainees.
They couldn't compare to the senior high leveled assassins as them. All of the servants who tried to protect Bai Huiqing were mostly killed by the assassins. Song Tao tried to hold back the assassins as much as he could but a sword stabbed through his stomach. He never give up even though he was badly injured.
After an hour of fight, Xu Tingfeng arrived and what he first saw was red. The whole residence were covered in blood, corpes were laying everywhere on the ground. He ran to the labor room and saw Song Tao with a sword in his stomach, fighting with his last strength. Xu Tingfeng immediately killed all of the assassins and helped Song Tao to rest.
Xu Tingfeng: ” UNCLE SHU!”
Shu Huatuo ran as fast as he could and immediately did a first aid to Song Tao. Song Tao grabbed Xu Tingfeng's hand and gripped his hand, he weakly whispered to Xu Tingfeng.
Song Tao: ” G-go save madam.”
Xu Tingfeng nodded his head and ran to the labor room. He forcefully entered the room and saw Bai Huiqing was half conscious, after hearing the mid wife's explanation and Bai Huiqing last words before she fainted, he was enraged. He ran out of the room and summoned an enormous lightning, the sound reached until the capital, Long Quan was terrified. Even the people from Da Qi can see the lightning from there, the ground shook when the lightning hit the ground.
' THIS IS WAR!'
