Chapter 26: General Of Zheng Yuan (1)

Ma Butou was furious, he strode forward, grabbed Tang Bai Nian’s collar and asked, “What the heck did you do to him?!”

“What could I have done? He fell out of the carriage on his own, what do I have to do with it? What are you going to do? Let go of me!” Panic flickered in Tang Bai Nian’s eyes as he blustered and shouted.

“You’d better pray that he’s okay, otherwise…” Ma Butou glared at him fiercely, then hurriedly took a long rope and tied it around his waist, Then he drew out the sword hanging by the saddle and went down the slope where He Shaoting fell.

Tang Bai Nian’s expression was gloomy, for a moment, he looked at the coachman whose face was pale, and said with a fierce expression: “You should know that, you must not say whatever happened here!”

The coachman shuddered and lowered his head hurriedly, not daring to talk.

“Let’s go!” Tang Bai Nian coldly snorted, patted the dust on his robe, and got back on the carriage.

The carriage drove up the sand and dust, and soon disappeared.

He Shaoting flew out of the carriage and fell heavily down the hill. The pain was so severe that his body seemed to be falling apart, but before he could cry out in pain, his whole body rolled down the slope.

The rapid tumbling made him fall into confusion, and in a short while, he finally couldn’t handle it and passed out.

The moment he lost consciousness, he felt as if someone had grasped his wrist, and his whole body seemed to fall into a comfortable embrace.

For a long time, Yan Wu looked sadly at the torn clothes, and then stared at the young boy who had passed out in stupor. She curled her lips, and smoothed the messy long hair aggrievedly, really wanted to restore the clothes, but she suddenly thought of something, her eyes flickered several times, her lips curled up, and she grabbed the long hair again. She made the long hair that had been straightened out became messy again, then she went back into the longevity lock with satisfaction.

When He Shaoting regained his consciousness, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar bed and was confused for a while, but when he thought of what happened before he fell off the carriage, he immediately became alert and got up without regard to his injuries.

“Why are you getting up? I just finished applying some medicine, lie down quickly. If you need something, I’ll help you grab it.” The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then he heard the hoarse voice of Ma Butou, and his heart was relieved right away.

“Uncle Ma.” He Shaoting called in a weak voice.

“You boy really had a big luck, fortunately general Zhenyun saved you, otherwise you would have gone to see the King of Yama by now.”

“General Zhengyuan?” He Shaoting was surprised and asked in disbelief.

“Yes, General Zengyuan and his family returned to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors, passing through here and saw you unconscious on the ground, so they saved you. By the way, how did you fall out of the carriage for no apparent reason? Did that Tang Bai Nian do something to you?” Ma Butou Ma asked seriously.

He Shaoting put aside the ‘General Zhengyuan’ for the time being and said impatiently, “That guy is not a good person, he asked me to testify in front of the governor that Dong-shi was the murderer. I refused, so he hit me.”

Ma Butou’s expression suddenly became extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth and said: “What a master Tang, what an older brother, now I’ve truly opened my eyes. Who would have known there is such a beast in this world, his own brother was in distress, not trying every way to clear the grievances of his brother. On the contrary, he even wants to add misfortune to the unfortunate one. The old madam treated him so well, even Master Tang, the real son, had to take a step back!”

He Shaoting said anxiously: “Then what should I do now? They must have made up their minds to harm Master Tang.”

Ma Butou said bitterly: “I don’t believe they can cover the sky with only one hand! There is no real evidence, if they want to make him confess to false charges under torture, I will report it to emperor’s Imperial Palace!”

He took a deep breath, and barely suppressed the anger in his heart: “How do you feel right now? Is the injury still painful? We have not returned all night, Madam and Master Shen must be anxious, if you still can hold it, we can first set off and return to the county office.”

“I’m fine, let’s go back immediately.” He Shaoting struggled to slip on his shoes and get off the ground, but was held down by Ma Butou’s shoulders and watched as Ma Butou personally put on his shoes and clothes for him, and at the end of the day, despite his struggle, forcibly put him on his back.

He Shaoting tightly pursed his lips and allowed Ma Butou to carry him out of the door in silence.

“The general and his wife are in the small courtyard in front, I’ll just take you there.” The guards of the general’s residence learned that they were going to express their gratitude to General Zhen Yuan and say goodbye, so they didn’t ask much and took the initiative to show them the way.

Ma Butou, jolted He Shaoting who was on his back, then he speeded up his pace, and headed in the direction pointed by the guard.

He Shaoting’s heartbeat gradually accelerated as he approached the small courtyard that was mentioned by the guard, his hands clenched unconsciously.

“…… The moves are right, but your strength is not as sufficient. You have to practice more often. ”

“Yes, father!”

“Well, let’s take a rest. I see that you all are sweating.”
