Chapter 286: Mislead

Translator: LiamHW

Song Qinghan gripped tight on the quilt, while he was overwhelmed with thoughts as if he was thinking about how to respond.

“Why didn’t you tell me before?”

If Wu Dahu really meant that, then the conversation between them should be more serious right now. And of course Song Qinghan shouldn’t be unreasonably troublesome.

However, it took Wu Dahu quite a while to answer that question, “I was… not sure whether I could survive and go back from the battlefield or not, so…”

So he just refused to say anything about it in lest Song Qinghan would be desperate from knowing the death of him.

Song Qinghan finally came to figure out what Wu Dahu really meant now, and tears again started falling from his face.

Wu Dahu turned his head and consoled him as if Song Qinghan’s sentiment was his softest spot, “Han, don’t overthink, alright? I know that it is quite normal to be quite emotional when you’re pregnant, but in fact everything is not that serious as you imagine…”

He was worried that Song Qinghan was mistakenly thinking that he didn’t attach importance to that matter with Jiayi, and hurriedly kept his mouth shut and said no more.

After Song Qinghan finally quitted sobbing himself, he wiped the tears off and snorted, and at the same time uttered in dissatisfaction, “You told me that you misidentify Jiayi as me, but you had never thought of another possibility that it was in fact me who slept with you?”

Wu Dahu paused all of a sudden, and he asked tentatively, “But you did not…”

While he was speaking, his pupils shrank suddenly as if he figured out what Song Qinghan meant the next moment. He was so shocked that even his voice started to be trembling.

“Do you…” he asked, still tentatively, “mean that it WAS YOU that night?”

In fact, Wu Dahu did have thought of that possibility himself long ago, yet through a deep and further investigation into the whole matter he failed to find any evidence. And at the time he found the existence of Song Qinghan, he happened to lose his memories.

And now, if he ever dived deep into this event, he would probably have found the reason why all his subordinates failed to find any trace of Song Qinghan. Well, of course Song Qinghan had done something to impede.

Song Qinghan turned his face to look at Wu Dahu. And at the moment he saw that Wu Dahu was completely in a trance, he laughed happily, and then uttered gently, “It is fine now since we have discovered the fact, I mean if you only have this sole memory here sleeping with other, I am sure that was me.”

Upon hearing the answer and seeing the smile of Song Qinghan, Wu Dahu reached out to grab Song Qinghan’s arm and responded in excitement, “Is that true? I, I…”

Song Qinghan, however, felt rather guilty as he found that Wu Dahu was hyper-excited after knowing the fact, and he reached out to pat Wu Dahu on the shoulder in response while explaining, “Sorry but I admit that it was my fault to cover things up and require the guards to keep my existence as a secret, which, beyond my expectation, had brought you so many troubles. If you don’t believe, summon those guards who got involved in this investigation. However, I really had no idea that you would believe you had made a mistake by mistaking Jiayi as me. Sorry that I have brought this trouble…”

Song Qinghan’s putting on a sorrow expression made Wu Dahu suffered again, he hurried to hug Song Qinghan in his arms while uttering in an indulging voice, “It was all my fault since I failed to connect these two events in a logic line. I am so happy that you won’t leave me…”

In response, Song Qinghan smiled, and hugged Wu Dahu back tight while answering in a slow manner, “There is another good news, Jiayi is going to give up bothering you now, and we are all good now.”

Wu Dahu patted Song Qinghan on his back, with his expression changed in complexity.

It was really a good result that the whole matter turned out to be a misunderstanding. Wu Dahu would never forgive himself if he really had done something betraying Song Qinghan and hurting him. It was alright now since everything tended to get in peace.

The duo was immersing in the long and warm embrace, enjoying the precious sweet moment.

The return date was confirmed not long, and it was the day overlapping Hening’s forced marriage. And in this case, it would be rather convenient for them to greet Hening for the last chance.

No matter how Mork would treat Hening in the future, they should at least show their solemnity into this event and their etiquette. Otherwise Mork probably would think that Qingmu Region was still afraid of the barbarians.

As soon as Hening got to the army base camp, Song Qinghan came to greet.

He would really love to accompany with Hening to the barbarian side if he was allowed. However, obviously they would be in danger if they dared to go to that place since there was a tense relationship between them and Mork.

Hening, on the contrary, was rather positive to everything he was about to face. He delivered a faint smile and came to answer after Song Qinghan finished stating the whole story in short, “My fate was already determined after the Imperial Decree was announced, and it is not going to change anything whether you accompany with me or not. Most importantly, you and Wu Dahu are lucky to survive from this fierce war and understand each other again, cherish your life back to your family, please don’t worry about me.”

That was true, Song Qinghan finally welcomed their hard-earned peace surviving with Wu Dahu from the merciless war, but it was still hard for him to mental peace in mind. He knew a lot about Mork anyway and was aware that it was never a bless for Hening to marry that guy at all. And that was why he felt so guilty.

The agreed day finally came. However, at the advent of the moment to sent Hening off, Song Qinghan made up his mind, he hid up together with Wu Dahu and the duo finally succeeded sneaking into the accompanying team.

Even though it was right at the most special period, the wedding ceremony for Hening who was an infanta representing the Qingmu Region was magnificent and grand. Almost ten miles of the line were embellished with redness, making the viewers dazzled in sight, while at the same time showing them the abundant resource within the Qingmu territory.

Song Qinghan was in a daze exclaiming the luxury embellishment, so that Wu Dahu had to reach out to protect him by holding tight his waist in order not to let him knock into someone else.

Owing to that, Wu Dahu finally found something was going stray after half an hour.

He had no idea whether there was someone else came to figure it out, he knew that the route was misled and they were right now led to a direction deviated and towards somewhere unknown. He knew that because he had passed the route between the barbarian area and Qingmu before.

It wasn’t easy for him, however, to walk to the frontmost and report because he was showing up as a person with hidden identity. Besides, he not only had to pass through the accompanying team in ten miles, but also a team of servants.

Most importantly, at the same time he had no idea whether it was a planned decision made by Hening to devise such a route on purpose in an attempt to make a clear observation outside the barbarian area or not.

As he was thinking of a proper way out, there was a chaos bursting in the frontmost line and the whole team came to a sudden halt. And as soon as the disturbance was detected, Wu Dahu hurried to hold Song Qinghan’s hand and led him forward.

Without having to go completely ahead, he knew roughly what had just happened from the others.

It turned out that a man in black came out of nowhere and held the Infanta Hening under duress as a hostage, forcing a change of route. The generals were embarrassed but had to comply, after all, no one wanted to be held responsible for the death of the Infanta Hening, especially at this juncture.

If He Ning died, they would not be the only ones to be held responsible, the barbarians would be furious and they would have to replace him with their heads if they could not find a suitable one for the marriage.

Besides, they still could not figure out the intention of the other party. If the other party were sent by the barbarians or had relations with them, even if something went wrong, they would not be investigated.

At this crucial moment, Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan shared the same idea in their minds. They exchanged their glances after they heard the news, and then uttered in the same voice, “It’s Muhammad’s side!”

There was no one else but Muhammad popping up in Song Qinghan’s mind since the hijack action happened so abruptly.

It was obvious now that Muhammad in fact obtained quite a lot geniuses in his team. It was already a shock for him after he came to know that Xiaoyan was at the same boat with Muhammad and was capable of playing a trick between these two regions, and now he was shocked again to come to know that someone was able to manipulate the route of the whole accompanying team without anybody being aware of.
