Turning Antagonist to Protagonist: He is Both Soft and Fierce-Chapter 346 - 341: Made a Target by the Villain

This area belongs to the Archery Camp, surrounded by soldiers from the Archery Camp.

Zhou Fu’an and Gao Qiang began to worry about Song Tingfan as soon as Qin Dewen entered. Now seeing a dagger stuck in his chest, they immediately rushed over to support him.

Gao Qiang shouted, "Call the military doctor!! Quickly!!"

Zhou Fu’an, watching Qin Dewen approach, hurriedly supported Song Tingfan and backed away, "General! How can you execute private punishment on the General without a shred of evidence!"

Qin Dewen was tricked, and anger rose from his heart, "Arrest them for me, resist and kill them without mercy!"

However, before anyone could react, a shout came from afar, "General, it’s bad, it’s bad, lots of civilians have come outside, saying they’re here to seek justice for their families and want to release all the Archery Camp soldiers."

"Block them for me!"

Qin Dewen didn’t have time to think about how the people outside knew. Compared to the evidence held by Song Tingfan, it was insignificant.

"We can’t stop them, they’ve already rushed in..."

Before the soldier could finish speaking, a group of civilians rushed in. Seeing the scene, their faces changed.

"Shanzi, where are you? Shanzi!!"

"Daqiang, don’t die, where are you!!"

"My son, where is my son?"

...

The scene became chaotic for a while. Lin Qiao, trying to avoid suspicion, did not come in first. There were heads everywhere, and she had not yet seen Song Tingfan. She squeezed in a little and finally saw him.

At that moment, her face changed, and she instinctively walked towards him. The scene was already chaotic. A woman bumped into her, and she stumbled, falling heavily to the ground. The pain in her stomach made her think something was wrong.

Just as she was about to get up, a shadow fell over her. Before she could react, she fell into a solid embrace.

She stared blankly at the handle of the knife, and the strong smell of blood hit her nose. Her gaze quickly shifted upwards, the man’s handsome face was devoid of any color.

"Put me down quickly."

"Where did you get hurt?" Song Tingfan’s eyes showed tension.

Lin Qiao was about to say it was nothing when the pain in her stomach intensified.

Even though she hadn’t expected this child at the beginning, she truly took it to heart later.

Song Tingfan’s body swayed but quickly steadied himself. Zhou Fu’an anxiously said beside him, "General, I can carry you."

"No need, quickly get the military doctor to the tent."

Song Tingfan strode into a nearby tent, kicked open the stool in front of him, and finally placed Lin Qiao on the bed.

"Don’t mind me, quickly bandage yourself." Lin Qiao covered her stomach and looked at him.

"I’m fine."

Song Tingfan frequently looked toward the doorway. After a while, he shouted gloomily, "Why haven’t they come yet!"

It sounded like he would kill if they didn’t come soon.

Gao Qiang was startled and quickly said, "I’ll go..."

"Here they come." Zhou Fu’an and the military doctor ran in.

The military doctor instinctively wanted to check on Song Tingfan first, but Song Tingfan coldly said, "Check her. If anything happens to her, don’t leave this tent!"

His expression was dead serious, and the military doctor shivered in fear, quickly taking Lin Qiao’s pulse. After a while, he said, "The fetus is stirred but no major issue, just need some fetal-protection medicine."

Gao Qiang quickly said, "I’ll go buy it." With that, he hurriedly ran out.

Afterward, the military doctor checked Song Tingfan, and it was clearly more problematic. The dagger was right at the heart, if not pulled out properly, it would be deadly.

He sweated profusely, "General, I can’t pull out this dagger, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Tingfan held the handle and pulled it out himself with ease, soon grabbing a clean cloth to cover the wound. Before long, the cloth had turned red.

Except for his pale face, the man did not move at all.

The military doctor hurriedly bandaged him properly, his hands covered in blood after finishing.

Outside, the noise became louder, then quieted down after a while. When Gao Qiang returned with the medicine, he was panting and said, "General Ni is here to help us." His tone showed a hint of joy.

Song Tingfan’s expression showed no surprise, he clearly knew, but Lin Qiao’s heart suddenly sank. The knife in the rebel’s chest was most likely stabbed by himself.

Without her, he could still get out.

To achieve his desired outcome, he could harm himself, and he could also ignore them...

No, it was just her he ignored.

Because she was the target, the obvious target, whether it was Qin Wuli or anyone, the first reaction was to take her as the target.

She overthought, believing the rebel had feelings for her.

For a moment, she felt a bit downhearted. She knew the plot but still tried to trust him.

She couldn’t just sit and wait for death, she had to leave.

Unintentionally meeting eyes devoid of warmth, Song Tingfan inexplicably felt a bit of panic, but before he could say anything, the tent was lifted open.

Upon seeing the scene inside, the bearded man Ni Dingguo fixed his gaze on Song Tingfan’s chest, "How is it?"

"I’m fine." Song Tingfan shook his head.

Ni Dingguo nodded, "Rest for a bit, we’ll talk later."

After a while, only Song Tingfan and Lin Qiao were left in the tent.

Lin Qiao closed her eyes. At this moment, she did not have the energy to "fool" the rebel. The pain in her chest made her feel powerless.

This time, someone hugged her from behind, followed by the man’s deep voice, "Why pretend to be asleep?"

Thus, Lin Qiao had to open her eyes and turn to embrace him, "Tingfan, I’m so scared. I’ve been followed by someone these past few days."

The man frowned, then raised his hand to pat her back, "It’s okay now, nothing will happen."

Without asking who, it was obvious he guessed who it was. Lin Qiao’s fingers slightly tightened, but her face didn’t show, "With you here, I’m not afraid anymore." After speaking, she closed her eyes.

Her nose actually felt sore.

Useless!

Lin Qiao! Snap out of it.

...

After many days, a sensational event happened in Lunan City, the great hero General Qin who protected the nation turned out to be a traitor.

On the day of the beheading at the market entrance, many people threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.

It’s probably how love turns into hatred.

The people of the border city despise traitors, without exception.

Qin Dewen’s severed head was hung at the city gate as a reminder to all soldiers of the fate of a traitor.

Meanwhile, at Fan’an Shop.

The business was getting better every day, and even before noon, there was a long queue. The waiter was busy greeting, "Customers, please wait a moment, I... General Song, please come in, the boss is inside doing the accounts."

The good business was partly due to Song Tingfan’s influence, as he had benefitted from the "troubles" and was appointed as a general by imperial decree.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Qiao looked over. The man in a dark blue tailored robe appeared exceptionally tall, she smiled warmly, "Tingfan."

"Hmm."

Song Tingfan handed her the paper package, and Lin Qiao happily accepted it. She opened it and said, "Lotus leaf chicken from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, it smells so good, Tingfan, you’re so kind."

"Eat up."

Song Tingfan’s eyes examined her. Stirring up the people was her doing, but she supposedly wasn’t capable of that...

Also, why wouldn’t she allow his former self to get close to Qin Dewen.

After a while, he softly asked again, "Who did you ask for help?"
