Chapter 569: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (173)
Jing Hengzhou's men quickly replaced all the villagers in the village with their own people.
Sect Leader Liu and Protector Mo were responsible for guarding the outer perimeter of the village, while the rest of the group were responsible for other locations where the Corpse Puppet Sect might appear.
Sect Leader Liu and Protector Mo have been at odds lately, constantly arguing and bickering.
He even asked Elder Xin, but was given only a perfunctory reply.
The others who had also traveled to the Western Regions were used to the close interactions between the leader of the alliance and the White Dynasty.
After all this commotion, Sect Leader Liu finally calmed down and no longer wanted to rashly go to the Alliance Leader to expose Bai Chao's true colors.
He also learned that the Holy Son's identity was not fake.
Although Sect Leader Liu still disliked Bai Chao, he didn't know when the kid had encountered an opportunity and transformed into the Holy Son of the Western Regions.
But since his identity wasn't faked, he probably really couldn't afford to offend him...
After arranging the details of the stakeout at the Corpse Puppet Sect, everyone prepared to take action.
But just as they were about to set off, Bai Chao suddenly said he wanted to go into the village too.
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Liu's expression changed, and his tone hardened: "No! You... this is no joke."
Protector Mo tugged at Sect Leader Liu: "Hey, he's the Holy Son..."
Sect Leader Liu said righteously, "The people we've sent into the village are all skilled fighters under the Alliance Leader. Even if the Corpse Puppet Sect launches a surprise attack, they're capable of protecting themselves. How could they possibly have the extra energy to protect others? If they get dragged down with us..."
At this moment, a male voice interrupted Sect Leader Liu.
"I went into the village with him."
Sect Leader Liu froze for a moment: "Alliance...Alliance Leader?"
Jing Hengzhou's expression was indifferent: "Any more objections?"
“No…no…”
Bai Chao chuckled, seemingly mocking him.
Master Liu's face burned with embarrassment, and his disgust for Bai Chao intensified.
But what right does a villain who has bewitched the alliance leader have to act so arrogantly?
Bai Chao, seemingly oblivious to what Sect Leader Liu was thinking, slowly said, "Sect Leader Liu, you're blocking the way."
"..."
With a livid face, Sect Leader Liu stepped aside to make way, only to have his foot trampled by Bai Chao's horse, making his face turn even more ashen.
Bai Chao entered the village as he wished, and enthusiastically pulled Jing Hengzhou along to choose the best earthen house in the village to stay in.
As a result, a child was found in the cellar of the earthen house.
It was only after asking that they learned that the villagers did not trust Jing Hengzhou's subordinates. Before being sent out of the village, the family planned to hide their child and come back to pick him up a few days later if they felt that the person who took them away was okay.
Upon learning the reason, Jing Hengzhou frowned deeply.
"It was my mistake."
It's one problem that his subordinates didn't thoroughly investigate the villages, and it's another problem that he didn't confirm things in a timely manner.
If Bai Chao hadn't suddenly decided to infiltrate the village with them, the child would have remained undiscovered. If the Corpse Puppet Sect had launched a surprise attack during that time, the child might have met with an accident...
Bai Chao smoothed down Jing Hengzhou's brows and said with a smile, "It seems the Alliance Leader doesn't have much influence. Even if you give them benefits, they won't trust you."
Jing Hengzhou grasped Bai Chao's hand and sighed softly, "We are all ordinary people living in peace and contentment. How could we possibly know anything about an alliance leader?"
It is indeed abrupt to ask someone to leave their home suddenly, and it is understandable that they might not believe it.
The little boy next to them was watching them with snot bubbles coming out of his nose.
Are you a married couple?
"..."
Bai Chao chuckled: "Why do you think we're a couple?"
The little boy shook his head and said, "Because Daddy said only husbands and wives hug each other."
Bai Chao looked down and saw that he was sitting on Jing Hengzhou's lap, with Jing Hengzhou's arm around his waist.
Jing Hengzhou pulled the boy closer to him and said, "You're right, we are husband and wife."
The little boy seemed to understand, but he felt he had guessed correctly, and he jumped up and down happily.
"..."
Bai Chao looked at Jing Hengzhou and smiled, "Alliance Leader, are you still trying to fool children?"
Jing Hengzhou hugged her tightly, his tone solemn: "No, I will marry you."
Bai Chao blinked: "So, the reason I came all this way is to marry the Alliance Leader."
Jing Hengzhou's heart skipped a beat: "A-Chao..."
Bai Chao touched Jing Hengzhou's lips: "There are still children here."
Jing Hengzhou took Bai Chao's hand and kissed his slender white fingertips.
"it is good."
They lived in the village for a few days, enjoying a rare period of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
During the day, people work in the fields, and in the evening, smoke rises from the chimneys, making the village seem no different from any other village.
Several nights later, Jing Hengzhou ordered the guards on the perimeter to leave.
On the second night, strange noises began to occur around the village.
Inside the earthen house, Jing Hengzhou blew out the candle and walked to Bai Chao's side.
“Ah Chao”.
Bai Chao patted the head of the little boy who was sleeping on his lap.
"coming?"
"coming."
"That……"
"The rest of you should wait and see. I'll go out and take a look first."
Bai Chao nodded and teased, "Then the Alliance Leader must remember to come back and pick up his 'wife and children'!"
Jing Hengzhou smiled helplessly and leaned down to kiss Bai Chao's forehead.
"it is good."
