Explosives?
Not good, she instinctively rushed forward, wanting to stamp out the fuse, but it was already too late. Tuoba Lie had already grasped her in his arms and then held her down.
A deafening explosion sounded from behind!
Nan Feng felt her head buzzing, her mind a plete mess.
Exploded?
Those militiamen?
She pushed Tuoba Lie away forcefully, then turned around to take another look.
That scene… she would never forget it in her lifetime. There were hands and feet blown everywhere, a ghastly sight, with the stench of blood wafting over, making her feel nauseous. Over there, the number of people still alive could be counted on one hand, and even those alive were mangled and bloody.
The leader was still alive, only hanging on by a thread. In his last moments, his eyes met Nan Feng’s, clearly accusing her with a “you deceived me” look…
Nan Feng instinctively covered her mouth to stop herself from crying, and her whole body went limp, barely able to stand.
Why?
Even after she had climbed into a new carriage, Nan Feng was still weak all over. She kept asking herself, why did this happen?
Later, she let out a cold laugh.
What else could it be?
Tuoba Lie was already such a person in his past life, speaking sweet nothings when cajoling women, ruthless and cruel toward his enemies. He never changed, even if he became a different person in this life, he was still the same cold-blooded man.
Nan Feng felt a chill in her limbs.
It wasn’t until she reached the county town and the next posthouse where she would stay that Nan Feng still hadn’t recovered and couldn’t face food.
She remembered that later on it was Tuoba Lie who brought food for her to eat.
Tuoba Lie placed the food in front of Nan Feng, then looked at her, “Eat a little.”
Nan Feng shook her head, “I can’t eat. As soon as I close my eyes, I see charred bodies, so don’t make me eat this.”
After saying this, Nan Feng looked at Tuoba Lie again, “Why do you have to be so cruel? They were already about to pull back, but you just wouldn’t let them go.”
Tuoba Lie held up a chopstick full of vegetables to Nan Feng’s mouth, “If I let them go, who would let me go? Nan Feng, this is just the first wave. If I don’t make an example of them, there will be a second wave, and a third. Only by inflicting heavy losses on the first group will the rest hesitate. If it were just me, I wouldn’t care about killing or not, but now I need to protect you and Yunyun. e on, eat some vegetables. You always say that you like vegetables. Now’s your chance, eat more.”
Nan Feng refused his vegetables, simply saying, “Don’t use me and Tuoba Yun as excuses for your cruelty. If you were really doing this for us, then you should have let them go when I begged you.”
“Nan Feng,” Tuoba Lie seemed helpless, “I’m protecting you, yet you blame me.”
“Your logic is inprehensible.”
“Alright, alright,” Tuoba Lie said, as if pacifying a child, “I might have no logic, but being hungry and needing to eat should make sense, right? Eat.”
Nan Feng pushed it away again, “I really can’t eat today, take it out. I’ll eat tomorrow morning.”
Tuoba Lie sighed in frustration, “Are you still blaming me? Nan Feng, many of my subordinates also died this time. Aren’t their lives also lives? There are many injured being treated outside, I need to go check on them, but here I am taking care of you. Can’t you understand me?”
