Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Is This Life Only Destined to Live to Thirty…?

Feng Yue unleashed a sword qi, shattering the final wave of arrow rain, and retreated to Wei Xiaofeng’s side.

“Mr. Yun, Yan’er and the children inside, I leave them to you. I’ll stall for time. Find a way to evacuate them!”

“You…” Yun Yu Miu wanted to say something, but the situation was urgent. At this moment, Mu Yunhua was seriously injured, and time was of the essence. If they delayed any longer, everyone would die here.

Seeing his resolute look, Yun Yu Miu had no choice but to nod. For now, this was the only option.

The reason they were capturing Wei Xiaofeng was to lure out the Guangling Prince, so even if he was captured, his life wouldn’t be in immediate danger.

“Wangfei, take care!”

“Mm.” Wei Xiaofeng nodded forcefully, until Yun Yu Miu helped Mu Yunhua retreat to the mountain cave.

There was a secret passage at the back of the mountain cave, which had been envisioned during the digging as the worst-case scenario for today. No one had hoped it would be needed.

Wei Xiaofeng, holding the damaged and bloodstained flag, walked towards them with firm steps, his eyes determined, without a trace of retreat or fear.

“The person you want to capture is me! Release those civilians, they are innocent! Otherwise, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide immediately, and you will get nothing!”

Blue Beard raised his chin and ordered his subordinates to tie him up.

“You do have some backbone and courage, take him away!”

Ling Yifu hated everyone in the Wang residence to the extreme. He had endured humiliation for many years, and today he finally vented his anger.

When he met Wei Xiaofeng’s gaze, his sharp eyes were as cold as icy double blades, making Ling Yifu afraid to look him in the eye.

While taking the men back, Blue Beard silently made a gesture, leaving a team behind. After they had gone far, this team entered the mountain cave, ready for indiscriminate slaughter.

But after searching for a long time, there was no sign of anyone inside.

“There’s a secret passage here! Chase!!”

These several hundred people chased out from the secret passage. They hadn’t run far, and this group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people had no strength to resist.

The one responsible for escorting Wei Xiaofeng was Ling Yifu. He tied the man’s hands and dragged him behind the horse, triumphantly. “Never thought you’d have this day, huh? It’s all because your husband is inhuman! Hehe, just wait and see, this time I’ll definitely make Feng Yue kneel down and beg me!”

Wei Xiaofeng pursed his lips tightly, ignoring him.

Ling Yifu, as if he had been slighted, angrily tugged the rope. Wei Xiaofeng, physically weak, was dragged to the ground abruptly, his hands and knees scraping off a layer of skin instantly.

Ling Yifu slapped the horse hard. The horse, startled, galloped forward, raising its hooves.

Wei Xiaofeng was dragged on the ground, his clothes quickly torn, and the joints of his body seemed to be dislocated. Fortunately, this was on a grassland. If it had been on an official road, he would have been skinned alive.

Ling Yifu, seeing him gritting his teeth and not making a sound, accelerated maliciously, laughing wildly.

Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly. A crossbow bolt, with amazing power, pierced through his throat, deeply embedded in the big tree behind him.

He stared wide-eyed, fell from the horse, and died without closing his eyes, brushing past Wei Xiaofeng.

Blue Beard had stopped the team, and the entire army was on alert.

The horse dragging Wei Xiaofeng, startled, was still galloping wildly. Another crossbow bolt shot out from the forest, hitting the horse’s vital point. With a ‘thump’, it collapsed to the ground. Wei Xiaofeng’s body rolled on the ground several times, and only stopped when his eyes were filled with stars.

A whistle echoed throughout the valley, and soldiers ambushed around sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, holding knives and crossbows.

Blue Beard hadn’t expected them to come so quickly, and in such numbers!

“Feng Yue, your fu lang is in our hands. If you dare to take a step forward, I’ll kill him!”

As soon as he spoke, the leading general, wearing black iron armor, riding a tall black-maned horse, holding a black spear, and shrouded in a murderous aura, came face to face.

Blue Beard had only heard of his name before. This was the first time they had met face to face, and his whole body bristled. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He had never encountered such deterrence and cold killing intent before.

“You, don’t come over! Do you really not care about the life or death of your family’s fu lang?!”

Wei Xiaofeng didn’t think about anything at that moment, he just shouted at Feng Yue, who was galloping towards him, with red eyes: “Don’t worry about me! He killed many civilians in the city, kill him and avenge us!”

Blue Beard didn’t expect Wei Xiaofeng to really risk his life to provoke him. In a fit of anger, he was about to step forward to capture him and threaten Feng Yue, who was approaching him rapidly.

“Kill!” With Feng Yue’s order, a part of the Wokou suddenly turned against them, quickly and accurately slitting the throats of the ‘comrades’ beside them with one knife.

“This, when did this happen…”

Blue Beard didn’t know when Feng Yue’s people had infiltrated his team, and suddenly the formation was completely scattered, caught off guard, and attacked from all sides like a hot knife through butter.

Blue Beard was soaked in cold sweat. He jumped off his horse and was about to grab Wei Xiaofeng when Feng Yue raised the spear in his hand, aimed at Blue Beard’s moving figure, and threw it with all his might. The long spear pierced through his heart. Blue Beard spat out a mouthful of blood and was carried away by the spear for more than ten feet. Life and death were in that instant.

Feng Yue spurred his horse forward, pulled out his spear, cut the rope on Wei Xiaofeng’s hands, reached out to him, and pulled him onto the horse’s back.

“Are you injured?” Although Feng Yue was very worried about him, he appeared calm on the surface.

“I’m fine, Yan’er… Hurry, go save them!” Wei Xiaofeng noticed that some of them hadn’t followed, and they must have gone to hunt down the remaining old, weak, women, and children.

“Hold me tight.”

“Mm!”

“All soldiers, listen to my command, kill these Wokou clean, don’t let one go. Three hundred soldiers, follow me!”

“Yes!!!” The echoing sound resounded through the valley, as if the heavens and the earth were shaking with it.

The mobilization was well-organized. The screams and pleas of the enemy were thrown to the back of their minds. Feng Yue led Wei Xiaofeng and the others to rescue the remaining civilians.

Those hundreds of Wokou quickly caught up, but they were outnumbered. Facing fierce and well-trained bandits, Mu Yunhua and Yun Yu Miu were only making the last meaningless resistance.

Moreover, Mu Yunhua was seriously injured and at the end of his strength.

“Master!” Yan’er saw that his master was also covered in blood, his eyes turning red, “Are we going to die here?”

Yun Yu Miu’s chest rose and fell unevenly, and his breath was a little heavy. “Remember what Master said, run if you have a chance, don’t look back!”

“Yan’er won’t leave, Yan’er wants to fight the enemy with Master!” Yan’er was still holding the wooden sword his father had carved for him. Although he was young, he already had the perseverance and courage of a swordsman.

After a new round of encirclement and suppression, Yun Yu Miu’s sword broke, and he was also stabbed in the back to protect Yan’er.

Just when everyone thought death was inevitable, Feng Yue led three hundred soldiers to kill their way over.

These Wokou, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, saw the opportunity and wanted to escape. Feng Yue ordered his men to pursue and attack, leaving no armor behind.

“Zhu Gong!” Mu Yunhua, seeing Feng Yue at that moment, finally could safely faint.

Feng Yue stepped forward to check Mu Yunhua’s injuries. Fortunately, although he seemed seriously injured, none of them were in vital spots, he just needed to stop the bleeding for him as soon as possible.

He took out the Ding Qi pills he carried with him, gave them to him and Yun Yu Miu to take, and asked his men to help them onto the horses.

Seeing Wei Xiaofeng, regardless of his own injuries, hugging Yan’er and comforting him, he stepped forward to take Yan’er and held him in his arms. Wei Xiaofeng’s face was pale, obviously enduring the pain, but now he couldn’t tear open his clothes to see how serious his injuries were, and his heart ached faintly.

“Does it hurt badly?” Feng Yue reached out and gently stroked the bloodstains on his face.

Wei Xiaofeng frowned and shook his head: “Don’t worry, fortunately they are all fine.”

“Let’s go back first.” Feng Yue’s tone was solemn. The family of three got on their horses and went towards the city.

The Wang residence had been burned down, and only a few rooms in the east courtyard were still habitable.

Feng Yue asked people to find a doctor to take Wei Xiaofeng’s pulse. His qi and blood were weak, and his external injuries were fine. As long as he applied medicine properly, he would naturally recover in ten days or half a month.

Feng Yue asked people to go down to get medicine, and took the ointment for external injuries into the tent. “Take off your clothes, let me see the injuries on your body.”

Wei Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment and squeezed out a smile: “Why don’t I do it myself?”

Feng Yue took a deep breath: “Listen to me, don’t be brave.”

“Okay.” Wei Xiaofeng slowly took off his clothes. His snow-white body was covered with blue and purple bruises, and large patches of broken skin and bleeding were connected to each other. There was almost no place that was good.

Feng Yue’s heart clenched together, and his eyes were sore: “Why didn’t you say anything! It would have been better if the horse had been ridden slower on the way back, it must have hurt a lot, right?”

“I’d rather you come back faster, wouldn’t it hurt longer if you were slow?”

Feng Yue concentrated, applying the ointment to him carefully, trying to be as gentle as possible so as not to hurt him.

Wei Xiaofeng’s eyes never left his face for a moment. He looked charming when he was seriously and attentively applying medicine to himself.

“Are you the Emperor now?”

“You are the Emperor now.”

Wei Xiaofeng smiled, but was full of worries: “Can I really be the Queen like this?”

“Who says you can’t? Kill them.”

“No, don’t always fight and kill unnecessarily in the future, you are now the monarch of a country.”

After applying the medicine to the injured area, Feng Yue draped a white, soft, light cotton shirt over him. “Lie down and don’t move after applying the medicine. I’ll ask them to fetch another basin of charcoal.”

“Don’t bother with my affairs first. Your eyes are full of bloodshot, take off your armor, wash up, and rest well.”

It would have been fine if he hadn’t said it, but as soon as he said it, Feng Yue felt extremely tired. He had indeed not rested well for a long time in order to rush over to save them.

“Okay, I’ll change my clothes, wash up, and come over to accompany you.”

“Mm.”

As soon as Feng Yue walked out of the room, he suddenly felt a surge of qi and blood in his chest, and the sweetness of blood in his throat turned into a mouthful of bright red blood.

“Emperor!” Yuan Gonggong hurried forward to help him when he saw this.

Feng Yue closed his eyes to stabilize his breath, his voice hoarse and weak: “Don’t publicize the matter of my vomiting blood.”

Yuan Gonggong took out a handkerchief distressedly to wipe the blood stains from the corner of his mouth: “You have many hidden ailments, and you have been traveling long distances for half a month, unable to sleep, and working hard. Even an iron body can’t take it!”

“It’s okay, I’m fine,” Feng Yue raised his hand to stop Yuan Gonggong’s nagging: “Add another basin of charcoal to the room, and prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath and change clothes.”

“Yes.” Yuan Gonggong sighed secretly and turned to order his servants to prepare.

Feng Yue relaxed his whole body in the bathtub, his expression a little trance-like. In his previous life, he only lived to be thirty years old.

He died because he was badly injured and his life was exhausted.

Although he escaped the pain of a broken leg in this life, he fell off a cliff and was seriously injured four years ago, damaging his foundation.

Turning around, although he changed the direction of his luck, can he change his fate…?

Is this life only destined to live to thirty?
