For the sake of appeasement.

Feng Fuce said blandly, "He’s fine. I already had Qingmei take him down the mountain to find a doctor."

Bai Zhi’er walked over: "Guoguo, it’s so good to see you’re okay."

Feng Fuce ordered the Xiu Luo Guards to throw all the bodies into the mountains.

From the body of the burly man, they found a token.

It was a token with a python pattern.

Guoguo said to Feng Fuce, "This is the first Death Soldier of Great Qin, Baili Wu."

"He was given by the Emperor Qin to that man, so this time he brought people to take me back."

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow, "That man?"

Guoguo lowered his head, stubbornly, "I refuse to call him father, he doesn’t deserve it."

Bai Zhi’er curiously said, "So Guoguo, you’re from Great Qin."

Guoguo silently nodded.

Feng Fuce said blandly, "Some things can be confessed later when we return, let’s first transport the wounded back."

Those bodies thrown into the deep mountains would naturally be taken care of by wild beasts.

But they took Baili Wu’s token with them.

By the time they returned to the Xiuluo Guard, it was already deep into the night.

Guoguo took out a letter and handed it to Feng Fuce.

"I don’t know how he found out where I was, implicating you all, and even implicating Chu Ping, I’m sorry."

Guoguo felt very guilty.

Bai Zhi’er comforted, "It’s their ruthless methods, convincing you to return home could have been discussed nicely, why use such means? It’s too much!"

Guoguo’s eyes dimmed, "Because he knows I wouldn’t go back, he was the one who drove me away from home initially."

Feng Fuce had finished reading the letter and handed it to Bai Zhi’er.

"So Guoguo, your name is Song Yingchuan."

Guoguo nodded.

No wonder he didn’t dare say his name.

Because his father is the famous Duke Huan of Great Qin.

Back then, when the old Emperor of Great Qin passed away, the little emperor ascended the throne at eight years old. Duke Huan, as the regent minister, turned the little emperor into his puppet.

But as the years passed, the little emperor had long grown up. At nearly thirty-five, the Emperor Qin forced Duke Huan’s sons to their deaths one by one.

Now, Duke Huan’s power was being gradually stripped away.

He was afraid of having no heir, so he recalled the "illegitimate son" he once exiled from his home.

Forcibly demanding Guoguo to return to Great Qin.

"My mother was not a concubine! She also didn’t want to serve that vile man."

"He got drunk and forcibly took my mother’s body, after giving birth to me, only allowed us to live in an outbuilding."

"Even when my mother died of illness, not a single person came to claim her body, and they wouldn’t allow me to mourn!"

"When I left the Duke Mansion, I swore I would never return, unless it was to seek revenge."

"Such a group of people deserves to be dealt with by the Emperor Qin!"

Bai Zhi’er also finished reading the contents of the letter.

This Duke Huan, although he demanded Guoguo to return, there wasn’t a hint of respect in his words.

In a letter, in just a few words, he wrote out threats—

"Should you refuse to return, I will send someone to find where you are."

How is this a father! Not a shred of humanity.

Guoguo said, "Even if I return, it would be useless; he will sooner or later be sentenced to death by the Emperor Qin, I can’t go back to inherit his mess."

Bai Zhi’er was silent for a moment. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She looked at Feng Fuce, "Can we go to Great Qin?"

Guoguo was surprised, "Go to Great Qin?!"

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow, showing no sign of surprise at Bai Zhi’er’s words, apparently he had just been considering it as well.

Bai Zhi’er put down the letter, "They hurt Chu Ping and treated you so unfairly, the Duke Huan who issued such orders, we should go and demand an explanation from him!"

Chu Ping’s injury cannot be so easily settled just because Baili Wu is dead!
