47. The Incident

Third person POV

Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zihao followed Xu Tingfeng's entourage to Xi An, they dressed up like other elite forces and followed them from the dark. As it was one of their objective, this was part of their training.

After 1 week, they arrived at Xi An's main gate. Xu Tingfeng and his entourage were welcomed warmly by Xi An's citizen. They communicated with the citizen for a while before they went to Xu residence.

The servants were waiting for them in front of the gate and greeted them when they saw Xu Tingfeng and his entourage. The servants helped Bai Huiqing and Hong er out when they came out from their carriage. They were so happy that their masters were back. They prepared Xu Tingfeng's, Bai Huiqing's, and Hong er's favorite dish.

But what surprised them was the two newcomer that dressed up like the elite force. They didn't recognize the two of them as they covered their face with a mask. But after they opened their mask, the servants immediately kneeled and apologize for not recognizing them.

Even though Xu Zhiqiang's and Xu Zihao's eyes were black, the servants could still recognize them as they had trained with them in Spider Lily when they were younger. Since the incident 7 years ago, Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing don't trust people as much as the past. The servants in this residence were trained in Spider Lily before they came here, their ability and capability were tested there.

As for the personal servants, most of them were elite forces or ex elite forces. Xu Tingfeng's butler, Song Tao, was Xu Tingfeng's teacher when he was younger. He really trusted Song Tao as his confidant as he usually consoled many things to Song Tao. As such war strategy, residence's management as well as elite forces mentor.

Xu Tingfeng was called by Long Quan with his imperial edict one week before Bai Huiqing gave birth. Xu Tingfeng couldn't reject the edict or else his action would be stamped as rebellion. All of his family could be sentenced to death, he had a bad feeling about this.

Song Tao played a major role in that event, he sent a message as soon as Bai Huiqing's water broke. He had been guarding the labor room for 4 hours straight when suddenly a group of assassins attacked the residence.

But as the assassins targets were Bai Huiqing and the baby, most of the assassins were attacking him. The assassins were as strong as the elite forces and half of the elite forces followed Xu Tingfeng to the capital. And to make it worst, the elite forces that stayed at the residence were trainees.

They couldn't compare to the senior high leveled assassins as them. All of the servants who tried to protect Bai Huiqing were mostly killed by the assassins. Song Tao tried to hold back the assassins as much as he could but a sword stabbed through his stomach. He never give up even though he was badly injured.

After an hour of fight, Xu Tingfeng arrived and what he first saw was red. The whole residence were covered in blood, corpes were laying everywhere on the ground. He ran to the labor room and saw Song Tao with a sword in his stomach, fighting with his last strength. Xu Tingfeng immediately killed all of the assassins and helped Song Tao to rest.

Xu Tingfeng: " UNCLE SHU!"

Shu Huatuo ran as fast as he could and immediately did a first aid to Song Tao. Song Tao grabbed Xu Tingfeng's hand and gripped his hand, he weakly whispered to Xu Tingfeng.

Song Tao: " G-go save madam."

Xu Tingfeng nodded his head and ran to the labor room. He forcefully entered the room and saw Bai Huiqing was half conscious, after hearing the mid wife's explanation and Bai Huiqing last words before she fainted, he was enraged. He ran out of the room and summoned an enormous lightning, the sound reached until the capital, Long Quan was terrified. Even the people from Da Qi can see the lightning from there, the ground shook when the lightning hit the ground.

' THIS IS WAR!'

Xu Yingjie and Xu Yongzheng who saw the lightning immediately fasten the pace and became enraged. Who was Xu Tingfeng? He was a playful and kind guy who rarely get mad unless you hurt his family. If Xu Tingfeng made that enormous lightning, that means someone got hurt really bad.

Xu Yongzheng was on patrol that night when one of the elite force came, Xu Yongzheng knew that she was one of the elite forces that he sent to Xi An. Xu Yongzheng got a bad feeling and urgently asked what happened. Then Xu Yongzheng noticed that Gui An was badly injured, the other elite forces that noticed this immediately gave her first aid and one of them called the physician.

Gui An: " M-master, s-save madam and the b-baby."

Gui An fainted, Xu Yongzheng ran to Xu Yingjie's study room and explained everything he knew. Xu Yingjie immediately summoned half of the elite forces. He went to find Lan Mingzhu and Lin Yingyue who were coincidentally together at that time. He quickly explained what happened and told them to protect Spider Lily, they would bring Bai Huiqing to Spider Lily for protection as they were chasing the culprits.

Lan Mingzhu and Lin Yingyue nodded their head, Xu Yingjie and Xu Yongzheng together with the elite forces departed. They used the water way as it was faster than the land. It only took them 2 hours to arrive at Xi An, usually it took 5 hours to arrive if they used land way.

( A/N: they used the river and water magic so it is like water slide. You know what I mean. I had wrote it before that Xu Tingfeng and his entourage took 5 hours to arrive at Spider Lily from the capital. It took 7 days from Xi An to the capital, it means they need 6 days to arrive at Xi An from Spider Lily.

The reason that it took so long for Xu Tingfeng and his entourage to arrive at the capital is they took a break, they used carriage and travelled in slow pace. I hope you get what I mean.)

Just when they were 1 hour away from Xi An, they saw the lightning. They fasten their pace and arrived in 30 minutes. They didn't had any time to waste, they went to the labor room and saw Song Tao laying unconscious on the ground. Shu Huatuo was treating Bai Huiqing after he ensured Song Tao stability.

Xu Yingjie immediately commanded the elite forces to bring anyone alive to Spider Lily. Xu Yongzheng was tracking Xu Tingfeng when Xu Yingjie gave his command.

Xu Yongzheng: " Big bro! Feng ge went out of the border!"

Xu Yingjie: " They got the baby! Quick!"

Xu Yongzheng: " What?!"

They immediately departed and chased after Xu Tingfeng. After they found Xu Tingfeng, they helped him to find the baby but even until the sun had risen, they still couldn't find the baby. Xu Tingfeng explained to them about the magic that Bai Huiqing put on the baby. They were relieved to know that the baby was still alive.

After searching for another hour, they went back to Spider Lily. Lan Mingzhu and Lin Yingyue were taking care of Bai Huiqing and now her conscious had came back. They discussed for a while and decided to put the baby in other people's hand.

They cleaned up the residence and planned their attack. When night had fallen, they infiltrated the assassin guild and massacred all of the assassins including the master. Maybe it would be hard for Xu Tingfeng if he attacked alone but He wasn't alone. Xu Yingjie and Xu Yongzheng joined Xu Tingfeng to kill them.

If the Xu brothers were together, they were undefeatable. After Xu Weimin ( Xu Tingfeng's father) heard the news, he wanted to take a revenge on Long Quan but he was held back by Xiu Rong. ( his wife) They acted like they were mourning for the baby's death but actually they were holding their anger inside their heart.
