87 Special Treatment

Sheng Huaixuan’s eyes darkened. “If there is a continuous supply of refugees and people eating each other, Lord Ning Yuan will definitely be able to last for a few more months.”

The words “eating each other” shocked Bai Wutong.

It was not strange for refugees to eat each other on the way, but when the soldiers guarding the city did this, Bai Wutong’s stomach immediately felt disgusted.

What was the point of guarding such a city!

!!

Bai Wutong suddenly thought of another issue. “We need food the most in war. Can the Ling Kingdom’s army afford it?”

Sheng Huaixuan sighed. “They couldn’t afford it before, but they can now.”

As soon as he said this, Bai Wutong said in surprise, “You gave all the rations to Ling Kingdom?”

It was not just the rations that Sheng Huaixuan supplied.

He nodded and gave Bai Wutong a somewhat comforting smile. “When we reach the foot of Fengming Mountain, someone will escort us into the territory of Ling Kingdom.”

Bai Wutong’s eyes lit up. “You have everything arranged?”

Sheng Huaixuan nodded. “Yes, Sister-in-law. The defeat of the Yan Kingdom is certain. Everyone can be at ease when we reach Ling Kingdom.”

Bai Wutong’s eyes lit up and her face was filled with joy. They were finally reaching their destination.

Soon, she would have a home of her own in this world.

Bai Wutong immediately asked, “When are we leaving?”

Sheng Huaixuan said, “Tonight!”

Bai Wutong revealed an expression as if saying, “So fast”. Sheng Huaixuan smiled and said, “I’ve been waiting for Big Brother and Sister-in-law here for a long time.” He meant that if it wasn’t for waiting for his son, he would have gone over first.

Bai Wutong nodded in understanding. “I’ll get everyone to prepare.”

In order not to be discovered by the Yan Kingdom’s patrolling soldiers, Bai Wutong requested everyone to reduce their luggage as much as possible and gather before dark.

Qingfeng sounded a whistle, and everyone quickly formed a team. The team, which was even more orderly than the army, immediately took Sheng Huaixuan by surprise.

Lin Yue stood beside him as if Bai Wutong was his actual master. He said proudly, “Madam Bai is awesome! She was the one who made the whistle.”

Sheng Huaixuan looked at his son, who was sticking closely to Chu Tianbao, and then at the extremely proud Lin Yue. Why did he feel like an outsider?

In the middle of the night, the Yan Kingdom’s patrolling soldiers were the most tired.

Sheng Huaixuan had already made an agreement on Ling Kingdom’s side. As soon as they arrived at a designated location at the foot of the Fengming Mountain Range, a group of powerful men in black appeared to receive them.

Seeing their clothes, Bai Wutong suddenly thought of Princess Qingping and Consort Ping who had been kidnapped.

She wondered how they were doing, so she asked Sheng Huaixuan out of curiosity.

Sheng Huaixuan said, “Half a month ago, the Eldest Prince used them as hostages and asked Lord Ning Yuan to open the city gate and surrender. In the end, he was killed by Duke Ping.”

Bai Wutong suddenly said in surprise, “That’s his wife and daughter! Isn’t it said that Duke Ping dotes on this daughter the most?” She was so spoiled that even Bai Wutong wanted to kill her.

Sheng Huaixuan suddenly smiled. “Since ancient times, Duke Ping has loved this daughter because he wants to rely on Consort Ping’s family to help him seize power. Now that he has already obtained the throne, why would he care about a daughter?”

Bai Wutong sighed. “What’s there to fight about? Sitting on the throne will only get you a dynasty full of problems.”

Sheng Huaixuan glanced at Bai Wutong in surprise and smiled meaningfully. “Even a heavily damaged country can’t beat the temptation of overlooking all living beings.”

With the men in black covering them, they entered a secret pa.s.sage. After walking for about an hour, they came out of the secret pa.s.sage and onto a rugged path in the Fengming Mountains.

Along this rugged path, Bai Wutong and the others had climbed countless small hills during the night. When they felt that their legs were about to break, they stood on a hill and finally saw the densely packed battle camps of the Ling Kingdom’s army.

Everyone in the team looked happy. They had finally arrived!

Involuntarily, everyone quickened their pace.

Unexpectedly, they had not completely left the mountain.

The intense sounds of battle suddenly sounded before dawn. Immediately after, the Yan Kingdom’s battle horn was blown.

Bai Wutong took a closer look and realized that the Ling Kingdom’s army, which had obtained all of Sheng Huaixuan’s a.s.sets, could no longer wait. They ignored the refugees under the wall and directly attacked.

An earth-shattering sound of slaughter kept coming. Bai Wutong felt that she was trembling slightly, as if she was mourning for everyone who had died.

The flames of war raged and the sound of weapons striking was heard. Even though she knew that war was cruel, in an instant, Bai Wutong was still disappointed in Ling Kingdom.

As it was more risky to attack from this rugged mountain path with a large army, Ling Kingdom had hesitated for so long. But after obtaining the rations, they could not wait to kill the refugees.

If Bai Wutong and the others were also one of them, they would probably be mercilessly killed.

Cui Shize, who wanted to see if Duke Chu was a virtuous monarch, witnessed this scene. He lowered his eyes in grief, turned his back, and punched the tree trunk.

After descending the mountain, the men in black brought them to an empty s.p.a.ce beside the camp tent.

This was a temporary resting place specially set up by Ling Kingdom to show their generosity to the refugees.

Because of Sheng Huaixuan, they got the “cleanest” place to rest.

When they heard that they would be able to get food and proper arrangements as long as they arrived in Ling Kingdom, they sat down and rested for a while. After they took out their dry rations and finished eating, there was still no one who bothered with them.

Bai Wutong asked Sheng Huaixuan, who was also sitting with them, “Didn’t you donate so much rations? Isn’t there any special treatment?”

Sheng Huaixuan smiled and said, “I’m just a businessman. Without a bargaining chip, how can I catch the eye of a n.o.ble?”

Bai Wutong shook her head regretfully. Sheng Huaixuan was clearly the most valuable person.

After waiting for a long time, a lowly-status official came out and said casually to Sheng Huaixuan, “The Eldest Prince is busy with the war and can’t meet you. If there’s anything, just tell me. The Eldest Prince also said that you have done the Ling Kingdom’s imperial court a favor. You can choose 50 acres of land in the Ling Kingdom and become a farmer. Kneel down to thank the prince’s kindness now!” He had an arrogant expression and looked down on Sheng Huaixuan’s face. It was all because of Duke Chu’s order to suppress agriculture and businesses.

Bai Wutong was furious, but Sheng Huaixuan, who had given all his a.s.sets to Ling Kingdom and only had 50 acres of land left, had to remain calm. He happily kowtowed to this small official to thank the prince.

“Thank you for your bestowed gift, Eldest Prince.”

The lowly-status official smiled eeriely. “Our eldest prince has treated you well. You have to remember it. If there’s nothing else, go over there and register yourself. Bring your clansmen along with you.” What he meant was that Sheng Huaixuan should be satisfied with 50 acres of land.

How could Sheng Huaixuan not understand? He smiled. “I’ll go register now. Sorry to trouble you.”

...

The lowly-status official raised his chin and looked at him with his nose. “Remember, let your son and grandson study hard in the future. Don’t be that unscrupulous businessman anymore.” If not for their Eldest Prince’s kindness, Sheng Huaixuan would not have had the chance to change his ident.i.ty.

Sheng Huaixuan clenched his fists in his sleeves and nodded respectfully. “I’ll listen to your advice.”

After losing his value, Sheng Huaixuan was abandoned. Bai Wutong’s impression of Duke Chu’s only legitimate son immediately changed to a negative one.

If such a person were to inherit the throne, it would be better for Duke Chu to have a few more children.
