271. Chapter 271: Twin Brother

Translator: LiamHW

In fact, it was the face Song Qinghan was familiar with instead of the person.

He thought for a breif moment and then asked tentatively, “Do you… have a twin brother?”

The man, who showed up from nowhere, figured out that Song Qinghan indeed knew the background of his and he could draw a confident conclusion that Song Qinghan must have seen his twin brother before. He opened his eyes wide and he roared angrily, “Why didn’t you rescue them back? How can you guys be so heartless and cruel by only caring your own lives without giving them chances to survive?! You should know they were suffering in the hell there!”

Song Qinghan was kind of resigned standing there, sighing. Well, it seemed not a surprise for him to find that this man was a twin brother of the other man he met in the barbarian captive camp, their natures of recklessness were the same thing and even how they glared at people was just a pair of spitting images.

Yet just before he spoke, Wu Dahu seized the chance to break in, “How do you know that we just care about ourselves without giving them any chances to survive? Did you see it by your own eyes?”

The man became speechless in an instant in the face of the interrogation, and he took a while to respond, “If you guys really have given them a chance, they should have escaped there before you finally came back! Anyway, one of you is the queen-to-be in the barbarian area and the other will be the king’s son-in-law very soon. No matter who makes an order, all the subordinates will listen to you.”

It seemed that what he just uttered had triggered and ignited the flames in his own eyes as he found that this logic was making more senses, and then he roared again out of wrath, “It was all your fault! You ARE the culprits KILLING my brother and all the compatriots! You ARE the traitors of Qingmu! How brazen you are to live with such a shame in our place? Go to hell and vanish! I will kill you all under the divine will!”

Song Qinghan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw that the man was still stifled on the ground by Wu Dahu with his body stiff like a stone, and he came to utter in a slow manner, “Kill us? Do you really think that you are that kind of potent to kill us? Since we are capable of getting rid of the devil claws of the barbarians and living in peace in Qingmu area, you should have known that we are not feeble as you might think. So what makes you so confident that you believe you are able to kill us?”

There was a trace of sharpness obviously caught in Song Qinghan’s eyes right at this moment, while his lips were crooked at the same time. He attempted to add in a deeper voice, “So what if we kill you right now right here, and claim that you are murdered by the barbarian soldiers, will we be investigated?”

To his surprise, the man seemed have long expected Song Qinghan’s statement, he sneered and answered, “I’ve expected that you guys would do something like that, so I have already confessed my intention to my coworkers before I came here. They will know that you kill me if I can’t make it to go back peacefully. At that time they can go expose all your evil intentions to the Commander General and arrest you under a crime!”

Upon hearing that, Song Qinghan withdrew his smiling face. But he still answered in a teasing tone, “Since you still view us as a pair of traitors because you believe that it was our fault not releasing our compatriots. Why don’t you right now head to the barbarian place and see if you can be a traitor or a savior?”

The man paused, the anger in his eyes was combined with reluctance, and he responded impatiently, “I am not like you being captured by barbarians so easily without power to resist. If I were captured by the barbarians, I would definitely perish together with them.”

Song Qinghan squinted his eyes slightly, and then answered peacefully, “Oh? So according to what you just said, your twin brother should be a traitor too, right? After all, he was also captured by barbarians alive. If we really release them out of the hell and come back here, will they be cast aside by you just like us?”

The logic of his statement seemed to be perfectly irrefutable so that the man failed to say anything in retort after that, while anger, reluctance as well as bewilderment were mixed in his current pupils.

Would he, like what Song Qinghan questioned, treat his twin brother as a traitor if his brother really came back from the enemy country? Or would he… still see him as his dear brother in blood tie?

Seeing that the man was right now being indecisive, Song Qinghan adjusted his expression on face, and then uttered again in peacefulness, “Since you would still choose to treat him as your dear brother just like in the past, so why can’t you treat us in a way like before? Is it just because that we are in any relationship of blood tie?”

Treated Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan in a way he treated them before? Well, even though Wu Dahu was never his commander directly under, he was still a commander with power. Such a lowly soldier like him would never have a chance to talk to Wu Dahu in that way, let alone fought against him.

If Wu Dahu still got his position, this man should have punished severely according to the military law. With that physical torture he would definitely be on the verge of death…

Wu Dahu took a glance at Song Qinghan, and then he loosened the man’s arms the next moment, and questioned in a deep voice, “Confess to us, who is the guy fanning the flames behind the scene? He got no good intention, so you don’t have to help keep his secret.”

The man struggled to stand up, straightened up his back, and then scratched himself on the head with a face of utter bewilderment, “I don’t know who the person is either, I just rushed over here at the moment I heard them said so…”

Song Qinghan was the one first to respond to the man’s answer. He asked thoughtfully, “Where did you hear the news? Are they a big group?”

Noticing that the duo seemed to be quite curious about the details in hot pursuit, the man answered hesitantly, “What do you guys want? They were just being gossipy themselves, are you going to take the revenge for that? Besides, I got the news when I was in my tent, so it was hard for me to recognize anyone just by dint of the bustling chirping outside!”

Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan stood there, exchanging their glances. Since they had got the information they wanted, they gave up bothering the man further. So Wu Dahu turned to the man again, saying, “Alright then, you can leave here now. Do not mention about anything happened today, and if someone ask you about it, you need to tell him that you just came out for a walk. And, if there are still some people talking about us, you should memorize their appearances and see if they are the same ones each time.”

The man was still scratching himself on the head, and just as he was about to promise, he felt something was wrong and he came to ask dubiously, “I am coming here to take revenge, and you just let me go so easily? And why should I listen to you?”

Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows in amusement because he found this man was unexpectedly foolishly cute, and he answered in calmness, “Do you find anything wrong in our suggestion? Why are you so stubborn being reluctant to following our advise since it is good to you?”

As soon as Song Qinghan said so, the man finally showed a face of understanding, he then nodded, “It makes sense, alright, I will leave first.”

After seeing the man off in the sight, Wu Dahu suddenly spoke to Song Qinghan, “Someone is watching here.”

And Song Qinghan sneered, answering, “It can be predicted that those people must be quite upset since they fail to see the expected consequence.”

The ‘borrowed sword’ the hidden people attempted to use seemed not that sharp as they expected, so that it was obviously not that powerful to beat him and Wu Dahu down with one hit. However, no one could be able to predict whether they would use some other sharper ‘sword’ to get the two trapped or not.

It was almost lunch time when the two finally finished clearning the battlefield. Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu got their hands washed, and just at the moment they were about to go out for their lunch, two hefty men emerged from the door side with two bowls in their hands. Both of the fiercely looking men glared at the couple and one of them suddenly uttered in a vicious tone, “This is your lunch Xiaoyan ordered us to deliver to you. Eat them now, and we are going back to report on completion of the task.”

Without surprise or other emotion on face, Wu Dahu took over two of the bowls and put them on the table, and he stood there tapping his fingers.

Song Qinghan lowered his head and found that what was loaded in the bowls was nothing but unknown liquid in muddiness. At the sight of that, he couldn’t help but utter in disgust, “Pigwash?”
