Chapter 250 - 248. Bring Me To Her (1/2)
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
