Chapter 19: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Feng Xuanrui thought that Suisui was too scared and intended to turn his head to comfort her.
At that moment, he clearly heard the voices of two women outside.
Women???
There weren’t any women in the posthouse!
Realizing something was wrong, Feng Xuanrui was drenched in cold sweat.
If Suisui hadn’t been covering his mouth, he would have answered the voices.
If he had responded, and if the people outside weren’t allies, if…
At that moment, the two women continued to call out, “Young master, young master, where are you?”
However, Feng Xuanrui no longer dared to make a sound.
Not only did he stay silent, but he also worried that Suisui might speak and quickly covered her mouth as well.
After doing so, Feng Xuanrui realized, wait a minute!
Suisui hadn’t made a sound at all!
Tense, Feng Xuanrui listened carefully to the sounds outside.
The two women circled the backyard twice, and once, they even passed in front of the doghouse.
The torchlight briefly illuminated the doghouse.
Feng Xuanrui’s heart nearly stopped, his eyes wide, and he pressed Suisui’s hand over his mouth even more firmly.
When the torchlight finally moved away, Feng Xuanrui released his grip and gently tapped Suisui’s hand.
Suisui, understanding his distress, slowly let go. Feng Xuanrui breathed heavily.
Feeling her brother’s fear, Suisui wanted to comfort him but remained silent. Instead, she gently held his hand.
Feeling the firmness of Suisui’s hand, Feng Xuanrui’s eyes welled up again, almost bringing him to tears.
Just as he was about to cry, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.
Boom!
The sound was so close it was deafening.
Following that were bright flashes of fire and the sound of heavy, orderly footsteps.
Was it…
Uncle Prince Qing returning?
Having been almost tricked earlier, Feng Xuanrui dared not take risks. He tightly held Suisui’s hand and shrank further into the doghouse.
The young master thought: Unless Uncle Prince Qing personally reached in to get him, he wouldn’t go out!
The outside was filled with bad people. He wanted to return to the royal residence.
Wah!
Indeed, it was Prince Qing who had returned.
He anticipated that the bandits would regroup and target the posthouse.
Thus, Prince Qing had left some troops at the posthouse.
However…
The bandits feigned an attack, sending their main force to the posthouse.
Prince Qing realized something was wrong, swiftly dealt with the bandits, and then rushed back.
After capturing all the bandits, Prince Qing discovered…
The two children were missing!
This discovery made his heart skip a beat.
The bandit leader, severely injured and unable to move, laughed wildly upon seeing Prince Qing’s dark expression. “Hahaha! Didn’t expect this, did you? I’ve got more tricks up my sleeve. If you want your son to live, you’d better let me go!”
As soon as the bandit’s boast ended, Zhan Yuan brought back two sneaky-looking women. “Your Highness, we found these two women in the back. They didn’t seem right, so I brought them here. After questioning, they admitted they were bribed by the bandits to lure the young master out. But when they couldn’t find him after a search, they fled in the chaos.”
Prince Qing quickly focused on the key point: the children were not found.
