Chapter 104
Marshal Huo had never felt any affection for the sons born to his father's concubines.
Those in power in chaotic times are never soft-hearted, and Huo Jingzhou is no better; he had no qualms about having the idea of killing his brother.
Moreover, his birth mother died young, and the second concubine deserves much credit for that.
What if we kill Huo Jingfeng?
Wen Xin, who was struggling violently, was stunned when she heard the wet nurse call the shameless scoundrel who had harassed her "Young Marshal Huo".
She stood frozen, staring blankly at the cold, rigid man before her.
Huo Jingzhou lowered his eyes to look at the suddenly docile little beauty, his deep, cold eyes revealing no emotion.
The man was imposing and dignified, looking every bit the upright and incorruptible soldier.
So, did he come to save her because he recognized her as the daughter of the Wen family and his future sister-in-law?
Well protected by the Wen family and living a secluded life, the innocent and naive Miss Wen thought to herself.
She bit her red lips lightly, her moist almond-shaped eyes filled with guilt and unease.
Because she had previously offended this dignified young marshal.
The girl's thoughts were easy to understand. Huo Jingzhou noticed a strange look flash in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, letting her misunderstand.
He did not refute the wet nurse's words, as if he had come to Biancheng to save the Wen family.
The guards who knew the truth: "………………"
When did the young marshal become so... shameless?
But they can't exactly undermine their own young leader, can they?
It's not like I'm itching for a beating!
But, young marshal, you heard it too, this is your second brother's future wife, please stop hugging her and put her down quickly!
The second young master hasn't even returned to the country yet, and you're already putting a green hat on his head? That seems... not very appropriate, does it?
It's impossible to let go; what's in Huo Shaoshuai's arms is his!
Huo Jingfeng had better get lost, or he wouldn't hesitate to shoot him dead.
Little Gold, flying to the side: "!!!"
He truly lives up to his reputation as a paranoid male supporting character.
However, when Xiao Jin looked at her master, who was nestled weakly, innocently, and naively in the arms of the male supporting character, her heart was filled with... well...
Master, have you become addicted to playing the innocent, naive heroine?
Wen Xin glanced at the silly butterfly with a nonchalant air.
Little Jin immediately hid its head under its wing, no longer daring to complain about its owner!
Waaaaah, why is Master getting scarier and scarier?
Wen Xin ignored the silly butterfly and looked timidly at the man with her watery almond-shaped eyes. "Could you put me down first?"
The wet nurse suddenly realized, "Oh right, why is Young Marshal Huo holding her young lady?"
It looks like some lecherous man is forcibly abducting a woman.
Huo Jingzhou remained calm and spoke without any guilt: "You're injured, it's not safe here."
Wen Xin and the wet nurse suddenly realized what had happened, and felt even more guilty.
They almost misunderstood the upright and serious Marshal Huo.
Suddenly, Huo Jingzhou grabbed Wen Xin and dodged to the side shelf.
A bullet grazed his shoulder and embedded itself in the wall.
The guards immediately put aside their half-speechless, half-spectator mood and faced the enemy with cold solemnity, killing the ghost soldiers who had launched the sneak attack.
"You are injured."
Wen Xin exclaimed in surprise, looking anxiously at the wound on the man's shoulder from which blood was gushing out.
Huo Jingzhou met the girl's worried, clear eyes, a dark look flashing across his own, and calmly said, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Wen Xin quickly took out her handkerchief and covered his wound, her eyes blurry with tears. "What should we do? We need to find a doctor to treat him as soon as possible."
A bodyguard skilled in treating external injuries stepped forward, but before he could speak, he met the young marshal's chilling gaze...
He silently handed a roll of bandage to Wen Xin, "Miss Wen, could you please bandage the young marshal? We need to keep watch around."
Young Marshal, this is all the help I can give you!
But are you really determined to steal the Second Young Master's girlfriend?
The eldest brother and his future sister-in-law...
Wow, that's exciting!
How could Wen Xin possibly refuse?
She was so grateful to Huo Jingzhou for protecting her with his own body.
However, Huo Jingzhou took the bandage from her hand first. Although the wound on her forehead had stopped bleeding, it still looked shocking.
Although Huo Jingzhou's expression was cold and indifferent, he was very gentle when bandaging her wounds, as if he was afraid of hurting her delicate body.
Looking at the cold, handsome face so close to her, Wen Xin's snow-white earlobes turned pink as she said softly, "Young Marshal, I... I'm fine. Your wound is more important."
Huo Jingzhou's gaze fell on her pink ears and her red lips that were opening and closing. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He wondered if taking a bite would make her melt in his mouth.
Huo Shaoshuai was a cunning and roguish man at heart, but his face maintained a cold and aloof demeanor. "Don't move."
Wen Xin bit her red lips and obediently let him bandage her wound.
He handed her the bandage and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Help me."
Wen Xin felt her cheeks burning for some reason; he was clearly talking about properly bandaging the wound!
She hurriedly grabbed the bandage, lowered her eyes, and carefully treated his shoulder injury, even tying a cute bow, which was completely out of place with the iron-blooded and cold young marshal.
Huo Jingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the delicate young girl in his arms, his breath becoming even hotter.
He suddenly scooped the girl up in his arms, placed her on the horse, mounted himself, and rode with her toward the Wen residence.
Wen Xin wanted to turn her head, "Nanny..."
Huo Jingzhou put one arm around her slender waist to hold her in place. "My men will bring her here."
Wen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized that her posture with him seemed a little too ambiguous.
She was about to say something.
"Sit still. There might still be enemies lurking around. I can't afford to be distracted by taking care of you too much."
The man's voice was low, magnetic, and cool, but his breath was unusually hot as he touched her ear and neck.
Wen Xin's body trembled slightly as a reflex.
Her family used to be very strict, and she had never been so intimate with a man before. Even though she had a fiancé, she had never met him.
She had always been extremely careful to follow the rules for women, but now that war was raging and enemies were everywhere, she could no longer care about such things.
Wen Xin was also afraid of implicating her future brother-in-law, so she tried her best to ignore their overly intimate distance and obediently leaned against him.
When they arrived at the Wen family's residence, Huo Jingzhou carried her down.
But at this moment, Wen Xin couldn't care less about their intimate behavior.
She saw that the once bustling and prosperous Wen family was now littered with corpses, and blood and death filled the entire mansion.
Her father lay dead in the main hall.
"father!"
Wen Xin knelt on the ground, holding her father's body, and wept bitterly.
The Soul Fragment lost her mother at a young age and was raised by Wen's father, who acted as both father and mother to her, resulting in an extremely deep father-daughter bond.
Now that her father has been killed, how could she not be heartbroken?
"Master!"
The wet nurse dragged her lame leg in and also wept bitterly.
