The four of them went back on their way, but Xiaoyan was walking ahead leading the way because Wu Dahu had no idea where to go.

At this moment there was no need at all for Wu Dahu to pretend to have his memories lost, so Song Qinghan now came to know that Wu Dahu’s previous behaviors were not fake at all. Thinking of that, he seemed to have found that there was an invisible barrier erupted between them, and besides, none of them seemed to be willing to break that barrier at all.

Xiaoyan was silent there, and he could sense the awkwardness in the ambience, so he couldn’t help but find another topic, “Mistress, the one who you cut on the back with the sword previously survived in the end. Well, I know that you are not that kind of person who tends to murder innocent people, and they just don’t believe me.”

Song Qinghan was absent-minded and he nodded, uttering causally, “That was good though, yet we shouldn’t care too much about how people judged on us. Are we heading back to Qingmu Region now?”

Xiaoyan glanced at Wu Dahu subconsciously. Seeing that Wu Dahu was keeping his silence, he uttered in embarrassment, “Of, of course we will naturally go back to the Qingmu Region, but since we are still bearing the identity of captive, probably we will encounter some sorts of troubles…”

Qingmu shared the same principle with the barbarian regions: the ones who had been captives would be treated in a sterner way.

Even if they were forced and they didn’t do anything to reveal the military situation, staying in the enemy country for a long while was in fact a kind of crime in treason even though they were willing to go back.

Not knowing the further regulations and information and noticing that Xiaoyan was currently stuck in dilemma, Song Qinghan came to ask hesitantly, “Then should we turn back to greet with the Qingmu troop and go back with them together?”

It was in fact a question he wanted to ask before they left, why shouldn’t they follow the lead of the Qingmu army? After all, from the current situation it could be easily inferred that Qingmu was bound to win the battle.

Xiaoyan himself couldn’t explain it too bluntly, so he had to answer vaguely, “No need for that, we should part with them lest we will be a hurdle to them…”

Song Qinghan nodded thoughtfully, and then he took a glance at Wu Dahu. Seeing that Wu Dahu was right now sitting on the horse like a muppet without emotion, he couldn’t help but frown and say, “What’s in your mind actually? How come you know that we are under the perilous situation and helped us out of the trouble? And you do believe our words now?”

As soon as he mentioned something like this, the picture of Wu Dahu speaking sweetly to Utan emerged in his mind, and he felt nothing but disgusted.

Just as Wu Dahu was about to open his mouth, he suddenly moved over to Song Qinghan and grabbed Little Shitou who was sleeping over, and placed the baby into the arms of Xiaoyan who had yet to come back to his senses. He, however, carried Song Qinghan and gently placed him on the back of his horse.

Song Qinghan was shocked, and then stared at Wu Dahu’s face in surprise, speaking subconsciously, “Have you remembered everything now?”

Wu Dahu looked down and took a glance at Song Qinghan, and then the next moment he patted the horse Song Qinghan previously rode on the road on the butt. And then the horse started to run due to the sudden startle towards the opposite side.

“It’s about time to confuse their eyes and mislead them.”

Hearing that Wu Dahu was still with a cold and plain tone, Song Qinghan came to know that what he had just guessed was wrong. He was right now quite angry and gloomy, and then he leaned against Wu Dahu’s chest directly while closing his eyes, and saying in dissatisfaction, “Why did you take Little Shitou away from me? Xiaoyan is no good at taking care of children I suppose?”

Xiaoyan looked down and took a glance at his stiff left hand as he was mentioned, he scratched his head with the other hand awkwardly. And just at the moment he was about to explain himself, Wu Dahu spoke in an emotionless tone, “He’s too heavy, and he’s going to make you hard to breathe.”

Xiaoyan weighed Little Shitou there and found that he was in fact as light as nothing. For some reasons he felt he shouldn’t say something at this moment.

Song Qinghan scoffed coldly and subconsciously ignored the fact that he was currently under a comfortable position. And then he said in an unkind tone, “You haven’t answered my question yet!”

Wu Dahu followed behind Xiaoyan unhurriedly. Noticing that Xiaoyan was looking back frequently, he answered in a casual tone, “I just lost my memories, I am not out of my mind. I can still distinguish who is the good and who is the bad.”

Noticing that Wu Dahu was kind of sarcastic while answering the question, Song Qinghan laughed angrily and raised an eyebrow. And he retorted, “Is that so? If you are not out of your mind, then how was that possible for you to talk so sweet to Utan? Didn’t you say that you would get hurt seeing him upset? How come the next moment you just placed the dagger on his neck? Well, I should never have such a high expectation on man!”

Xiaoyan just finished adjusting the posture holding Little Shitou, and the next moment he heard the complaint Song Qinghan was mentioning about man, he somehow felt that he was being criticized as well. And then he tightened his legs on the horse, urging the running creature to run faster so as to escape such an embarrassing scene.

On the other side, however, Wu Dahu did not feel anything wrong himself, he looked down and took a glance at Song Qinghan. It was kind of a fascinating picture to view Song Qinghan’s gorgeous and stunning appearance right now as the moonlight sprinkled at his face, making the redness on his two sides of cheek look even healthier and redder, and Wu Dahu reached out to help Song Qinghan move the messy hair back to his ears, and he answered gently, “If I didn’t talk like that to him, he might have tortured you by any possible means.”

Upon hearing that, Song Qinghan felt himself was being frozen as his body got stiff abruptly, while he got his eyes fixed at Wu Dahu.

However, Wu Dahu still looked like he was caring for nothing, in coldness and numbness, which totally failed Song Qinghan to tell whether he was telling the truth or lie.

After a while, just at the moment Wu Dahu believed that Song Qinghan would never bother to speak again. Song Qinghan did ask abruptly, “So, was that a show from the very beginning? I mean, how you treated Utan.”

With regards to this question, Wu Dahu admitted it straightforwardly and nodded, “He seemed to be quite a powerful person in that place, so if I wanted to take any advantage from it, I should first obtain his trust. And he seemed to be quite comfortable with that trick.”

Song Qinghan couldn’t help laughing. Recalling the picture of how Utan was obsessed with the marriage with Wu Dahu, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Dahu, “HA, it turns out that you love to play tricks with people, I will never know it if you’re not suffering a memory loss.”

After saying this, he paused and thought about it carefully. He found that when he first came here, Wu Dahu’s performance seemed to be the same as when he treated Utan.

Nothing but catering to the other party’s preference no matter what he liked and what he wanted just like a chameleon.

By realizing the fact, he got his face even sullen, and then he smiled coldly, “So are you right now trying to obtain my trust?”

Wu Dahu shook his head quickly and calmly said, “No, I don’t even need to, because you are originally giving me the credence.”

Song Qinghan became speechless the next moment, not knowing how he should say something to retort.

But he was reluctant to give up the chance to set off an quarrel with Wu Dahu and admit his defeat, so he responded coldly, “You’re right but it was the past, I did trust you before but now I am starting to doubt you. Who knows if you still have connection with Utan and try to get me in another trap, and follow us back to Qingmu Region and be a reverse spy?”

Although Wu Dahu did not understand the meaning of a reverse spy, he did understand Song Qinghan’s last words and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about how to get himself out of this dilemma.

Even though Xiaoyan had already kept a distance between him and Wu Dahu, his ears were always perked up and he listened to all their conversation without missing a word.

Noticing that Wu Dahu had been silent for a long while, Xiaoyan felt that he should break in at this time and spoke up, “Mistress, if Lord Wu wants to assist the barbarian side, staying there would be a better choice for him. Lord Wu is a genius at leading a troop and combating after all…”
