Chapter 132: Mother, Yue Yue is scared

"All the enemies are dead, I'll take you to find Yue Yue, okay?" Ning Chengyan asked softly; if a breeze came now, it could blow away his words.

Jiang Yunchu's unfocused eyes suddenly turned to Ning Chengyan, then she asked doubtfully, "Wang Han, why are you wearing a face cloth?"

Wang Han...

Why are you wearing a face cloth?

Isn't it just because you don't want me to see?

Ning Chengyan looked at her helplessly; even though she was so badly injured, even though her consciousness was fuzzy now, she could still see him at a glance.

I don't know why, the corner of his mouth twitched up slightly, and he couldn't suppress it.

"Yue Yue, where is my Yue Yue?" Jiang Yunchu suddenly regained consciousness, then shouted.

"Where is my Yue Yue? Give me back my daughter, or I'll kill you." As Jiang Yunchu spoke, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, the deep red becoming her dominant hue.

Ning Chengyan's gaze was dark as ink; it served them right.

"I know where it is; I'll take you there, okay?" He asked gently, as if coaxing a child.

The Wang Fu troops were not far away, staring at the general with shocked faces, wondering when the general had ever spoken like that.

They actually heard it?

"If the general spoke to us like this every day, how great would that be!" One person nudged the person beside him with his elbow.

That person turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

"You dare to keep living and dreaming, aren't you afraid the general will silence you?"

Another person over there also looked at that person, "You wouldn't think that at such a distance the general couldn't hear, would you?"

That person had a defeated expression, his whole spirit beginning to feel hopeless.

"Remember to burn paper for me on this day next year!" That person only managed to say it once before hearing the general speak from not far away.

"Search the mountains, dig three feet deep, find Yue Yue." Ning Chengyan gave the order in an icy voice.

Jiang Yunchu lifted her head to look at him, then continued gazing into the distance.

The hand gripping the blade wouldn't loosen, just as her soft sword remained tightly clenched in her hand.

Ning Chengyan dared not approach, keeping a safe distance from her, fearing she might suddenly collapse.

Now her consciousness was unclear, but her vigilance remained high; anyone who got close would instantly alert her, prompting her to swing her sword.

"Report, they're in the cave." A person came over to report.

Ning Chengyan looked at Jiang Yunchu, "Yue Yue is in the cave, we've found her; shall we go get her?"

He whispered soothingly, even though his dark eyes were like ink, they carried warmth.

Jiang Yunchu lifted her head, "I'll go myself."

She released the Triple Ring Blade, then picked up a Broken Mouth Blade, using it like a crutch, taking step after step forward.

The Triple Ring Blade was too heavy; her strength could no longer lift it.

"Wu-wu-wu-wu, Yun chu, I miss you."

"Mother~"

"Let me go, I want to find Yun chu."

The little girl cried until her voice went hoarse; at some point the bell had fallen, her hair was disheveled, and mixed with her tears and snot.

"Yue Yue." Jiang Yunchu listened to her daughter's sobs, feeling both heartache and relief.

Yue Yue is still alive!

"Don't touch me, you guys leave!"

"I want to find Mother."

Yue Yue wouldn't let anyone nearby approach; whenever someone came near, she kicked and punched, her voice already hoarse from crying.

"Get lost!"

Though the person had no strength left, for some reason a surge of power gathered inside him, sending those who had grabbed Yue Yue flying to the side, his soft sword pointing at several people.

Yet she spoke the warmest words: "Yue Yue, Mother has come."

"Don't be afraid, Mother will protect Yue Yue."

Yue Yue had been unconscious; when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange environment, seeing unfamiliar surroundings, hearing those people say they would sell her and use her to threaten Mother.

Her heart was filled with fear.

But she feared Mother getting hurt more; where was Mother?

She, she really missed Mother.

Now, seeing the back of the person standing before her, she finally couldn't hold back her fear and burst into loud sobs.

"Mother, they're all bad people; they want to sell Yue Yue, they want to scheme against Mother."

"Mother, Yue Yue is scared."

"Mother."

Each utterance of "Mother" was like a dagger stabbed into Jiang Yunchu's heart, making her inner pain throb repeatedly.

All her wounds paled compared to a single "Mother" from her child.

It is the child's crying that is the sharp sword piercing the mother's body.

"Who are you? How could you break into Ying Feng Zhai!"

An old lady, her face grim, looked at the person before her; she held a short dagger in her hand, though her hands trembled, she viciously thrust it forward as Jiang Yunchu comforted Yue Yue.

But...

Jiang Yunchu didn't even turn her body; her soft sword flicked a few times, leaving streaks of red blood on the old lady's neck.

"You all deserve to die..."

The old lady's short dagger fell to the ground with a "crack," as if it had awakened the people who had just been silent.

Those people, one after another, wanted to run.

But the cave entrance had already been surrounded by Ning Chengyan's people.

Jiang Yunchu held Yue Yue, tightly embracing her in her arms, even though her footing was unsteady, even though she was utterly weak, even though her consciousness had become somewhat blurred, yet she did not let go.

"Can I hold her?" Ning Chengyan stepped forward and asked softly.

Just like, just as he had soothed her earlier.

But this time, Jiang Yunchu firmly shook her head, then looked at him with a wary expression.

That gaze had no concealment, as if asking, "What is your purpose?"

Ning Chengyan gave up, merely standing guard silently beside them.

"How should these people be dealt with?" Looking at the women in that mountain cave, he asked Jiang Yunchu.

Jiang Yunchu's cold gaze swept over each person; their hands had touched Yue Yue, and their men had taken Yue Yue away.

"Kill them."

Her voice was clear and cold; those two words were spoken with resounding force.

The Vice General looked at the General, then furrowed his brow; his earlier praise for the Princess Consort had now turned into a frown.

So many women and children, kill them?

Women and children pose no threat; to kill them like this isn't that wanton slaughter?

"Good."

Before the Vice General could finish his inner complaint, he heard his General's reply.

He suddenly lifted his head, looking toward the General, who was the guardian deity of Da Ning.

These people, too, are subjects of Da Ning!

But Ning Chengyan gave him no glance; he followed behind Jiang Yunchu, wanting to wait for her to go out.

But Jiang Yunchu did not turn around; instead, she looked into the cave and covered Yue Yue's eyes.

"Let's begin."

Her consciousness had begun to blur; the heavy bleeding meant she could stay awake only because of her iron will, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago.

Yue Yue clung to her neck, honestly remaining completely still.

The Vice General furrowed his brow, "General."
