Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao packed their things and got on the horse. Lin Yue carried the child and followed.

His arm was injured and he could not exert any strength. He had to tie the child to his waist and hold the horse’s reins with one hand.

Chu Tianbao looked back at them and said to Bai Wutong, “Stinky is crying.”

It was definitely uncomfortable for Lin Yue to tie the child to his waist like this. It would be strange if he didn’t cry.

Bai Wutong pursed her lips and steeled her heart to wave the horse’s rope. The horse started running.

“Giddy up ~”

Lin Yue quickly caught up.

Only by following Bai Wutong and the others closely and being caught up by the Dark Guards Team could he protect the young master.

Although it was not right, he had no choice.

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and ran behind Bai Wutong for more than two hours. His wound had not been treated and he had lost too much blood. His vision darkened and he almost rolled off the horse.

Fortunately, he grabbed the horse’s reins in time.

After hanging in the air, the child wailed again.

Chu Tianbao looked back again. “Stinky is crying again.”

Bai Wutong tightened her grip on the horse’s reins and glanced back.

Lin Yue fell dangerously from the horse. Fortunately, before he fell, he subconsciously pulled the reins. The horse slowed down so that he could protect Stinky in his arms when he fell.

A child could not endure a fright at all, let alone suddenly falling off the horse.

Immediately, he cried out.

Bai Wutong’s heart skipped a beat.

She immediately changed directions and rode her horse towards Lin Yue.

He had passed out. Stinky in his arms was red-faced and breathless from crying.

Bai Wutong’s heart softened completely. She hurriedly dismounted and picked up the child to coax him.

Chu Tianbao poked Lin Yue’s pale face. “Wife, is he dead?”

Bai Wutong coaxed the child before answering, “Not dead yet, but soon.”

“Then what about Stinky?” He frowned and looked at Bai Wutong. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “Then let’s take Stinky away and raise him!”

Bai Wutong rolled her eyes.

He had a father and a mother, and he was a young master with an extraordinary status. Why did he have to escape with them?

Bai Wutong said to Chu Tianbao, “Drag him into the forest.” They had to save him first.

Chu Tianbao raised one of Lin Yue’s feet.

Bai Wutong’s eyebrows twitched. “You’d better pick him up with your arms.”

“Oh,” Chu Tianbao said. He let go of Lin Yue’s feet and carried him up like a princess.

Bai Wutong carried Stinky and led the two horses to follow them.

After finding a shelter, Bai Wutong handed Stinky to Chu Tianbao and checked Lin Yue’s wounds.

Lin Yue’s sword wound almost pierced through his entire shoulder. Fortunately, it missed the bone and he did not need surgery.

Since he had already fainted, Bai Wutong could not be bothered to anesthetize him and directly treated his wound.

When she was suturing the wound with a needle, Lin Yue groaned a few times and opened his eyes weakly. He had fainted from the pain again.

Bai Wutong wrapped the gauze around him and touched his forehead. He had a low fever.

She took out another anti-inflammatory and fever medicine from her bag and stuffed them into his mouth.

After doing all this, Bai Wutong heaved a sigh of relief.

He probably would not die.

There was no need for them to raise a son for someone else.

She turned around and saw Chu Tianbao stuffing his finger into Stinky’s mouth. Stinky was even sucking happily.

Bai Wutong sighed and took Chu Tianbao’s finger out of Stinky’s mouth. She educated him. “Your hand is dirty. You can’t put it in Stinky’s mouth. Otherwise, he will be sick and cry.”

She thought about how troublesome it would be for Stinky to keep crying.

Chu Tianbao immediately nodded and promised obediently, “I won’t let him eat my hand anymore. If he wants to eat it, I won’t give it to him.”

Bai Wutong nodded and looked at Stinky, who had been smacking his lips. He was probably hungry.

The porridge in the water pouch was microwaved in the RV space. Then, she added some baby milk.

Bai Wutong took the child and sealed his mouth with the water pouch. She said to Chu Tianbao, “We’re going to spend the night here. Cook a pot of sweet potato porridge and two sausages.”

“Alright, wife.”

Chu Tianbao immediately went to pick up firewood.

The fire was lit and the sky darkened.

After Stinky was full and had his diaper changed, he sat obediently in Bai Wutong’s arms. On his chubby face, two dark eyes moved.

Chu Tianbao stirred the sweet potato porridge in the pot, looked at him, and said happily, “Stinky is like a white bun.”

Bai Wutong lowered her head and glanced at it. The outline of Stinky’s side profile was like a steamed bun.

She smiled. “Yes, I think so.”

Stinky seemed to know that everyone was talking about him. He patted the back of Bai Wutong’s hand with his chubby little hand and let out an abnormally cute voice. “Ah pu… Ah pu…”

Chu Tianbao replied, “Ah pu… Ah pu…” It was as if he was really communicating seriously with Stinky.

The two of them communicated harmoniously, making Bai Wutong feel like she had two sons.

Under such a good atmosphere, Lin Yue quietly woke up.

Bai Wutong turned around when she heard the commotion and asked him, “Can you sit up?”

Lin Yue nodded and forced himself to sit up. He looked at the wound on his shoulder that had been bandaged and saw the young master in her arms. He said gratefully, “Thank you for taking care of the young master. Thank you for saving my life. I won’t forget it!” He took out a large stack of banknotes and respectfully placed it in front of Bai Wutong.

Bai Wutong took a rough look. There were at least a few thousand taels!

Their family must be running a bank!

Bai Wutong took a deep breath and accepted the banknotes. She asked Chu Tianbao to scoop a bowl of sweet potato porridge for him and put half a sausage in it before bringing it to him.

“Tell me, why did the emperor steal your young master?”

Lin Yue suddenly widened his eyes with an expression that said, “How do you know that the emperor wants to snatch our young master?”

Bai Wutong explained, “That person took out a golden tablet with the word ‘Imperial edict’ on it.”

Lin Yue was enlightened. He almost thought that Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were some great figures.

He hesitated for a moment before saying hesitantly, “The emperor wants to snatch our young master and threaten our master.”

‘Does the Emperor need to kidnap children to threaten someone?’

Bai Wutong raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Who is your master?”

After what had just happened, Lin Yue felt that Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were people worth befriending. Since he had already said so much, there was nothing to hide. He said, “Our master is the richest businessman in the Yan Kingdom, Sheng Xuanhuai.”

“Young Master is our master’s only legitimate son.”

Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment and looked at the fair and chubby Stinky in his arms. Good lord, he was actually the son of the richest tycoon in the country!

No wonder Lin Yue did not even blink when he casually took out a few thousand taels of silver.

This was much more powerful than opening a bank at home!

“Miss and Sir have saved our young master and are our master’s great benefactors! As long as Miss and Sir want something, our master will definitely do his best to satisfy you!” Lin Yue pleaded excitedly, wanting Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao to escort them back.

Bai Wutong asked curiously, “Why didn’t the emperor tie up your master but did something this unnecessary?”

Lin Yue was silent for a moment before saying, “The emperor was originally intending to capture our master. Fortunately, our master had already expected it. It was only when he escaped with Young Master that he encountered the Dark Guards on the way.”

If he had expected it, it meant that he had already transferred all his assets.

Silver and rations were what they lacked the most in war.

No wonder the emperor wanted his son.
