Chapter 44 Fiery Rocks from the Sky

Chu Chenyin held a cotton swab soaked in iodine, and as she looked up, she happened to see Fu Yanting unbuckling his belt. She was startled and quickly called out to him, “What are you doing?!”

Fu Yanting raised his eyes, showing a rare docile expression, “I’m listening to you, taking off my clothes.”

“Stop, I told you to take off your shirt, not your whole clothes.” Chu Chenyin was speechless, she took the cotton swab soaked in iodine and poked it at the wound on his chest.

Her touch was a bit heavy, if it were an ordinary person, they would have cried out in pain.

Fu Yanting, however, remained calm and watched Chu Chenyin, secretly raising the corner of his lips and smiling when she wasn’t paying attention.

Chu Chenyin quickly bandaged his wound, then took a white long-sleeved T-shirt from the second-floor space and gave it to him to change into.

When they came out of the space and returned to their lodging, Marquis Fu was standing outside the carriage with his entire family, each of their faces filled with worry.

“Father, Mother, what’s wrong?” Fu Yanting walked over and asked them.

Marquis Fu saw the blood stains on him and strode over to them, “Eldest, what happened to you?”

Fu Yanting acted as if nothing had happened and smiled, “I encountered some bandits on the road just now, so I took care of them.”

Marquis Fu’s beard twitched in anger, “You child, you’re getting more and more lawless! You wiped out those bandits without a word! How dare you!”

On the other side, Lady Fu, who was behind Marquis Fu, strode over to Chu Chenyin. Seeing the faint scar on her cheek, she slapped Fu Yanting’s arm hard, “Look at you, you’re still so unruly even with your wife by your side, wiping out bandits! You’re thick-skinned, so you can get hurt, but what if Chenyin gets hurt?”

She took a handkerchief and touched the wound on Chu Chenyin’s face with concern, “Look at this little face, it has a blood mark on it for no reason.”

Chu Chenyin held her face with her hand, she didn’t think it was a big deal, for her, this injury was like a fingernail scratching, nothing at all, “Mother, don’t worry, Yanting was protecting me the whole time, I’m fine.”

Lady Fu held her hand and looked at it carefully. Seeing that she was really fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and slapped Fu Yanting’s arm again, “Eldest, I’m telling you, if you act so recklessly again, I’ll break your leg!”

“Okay, Mother, I understand.” Fu Yanting replied with a smile. Although Lady Fu had hit him hard twice, for him, who was full of muscles, it was just like a banana leaf hitting a rock, it didn’t hurt at all.

Seeing him promise, Lady Fu didn’t hit him again. She pulled Chu Chenyin and asked with concern, “You must have been scared, come, let’s go sit in the carriage, I’ll have Qing’er’s mother make you some calming soup.”

Chu Chenyin was pulled by her, she couldn’t resist her kindness, so she followed her into the carriage.

As soon as they got into the carriage, Fu Xingcheng and Fu Jianghong rode their horses over from a distance.

“Father! There’s news!” Fu Jianghong pulled his horse and called out to Marquis Fu.

Marquis Fu asked solemnly, “What exactly happened?”

Fu Jianghong jumped off his horse, his brow furrowed, “Father, just now, several huge fiery rocks fell from the sky in the capital. If I’m not mistaken, the entire capital should be engulfed in flames by now!”

Marquis Fu was shocked.

Fu Xingcheng jumped off his horse as well, “Father, the capital has been destroyed, even the emperor’s throne has been blown up. Should we go back?”

Marquis Fu hesitated, “It would only take about five or six days to get back to the capital from here. It’s not impossible to go back.”

Fu Yanting, with his arms crossed, interrupted, “Father, Second Brother, that place is about to be burned to ashes, why go back? The most important thing now is to hurry on our way and reach Mobei as soon as possible.”

Marquis Fu frowned and pondered, “That’s right… Now that the capital has been hit by disaster, it’s just a wasteland if we go back. There will be a large number of refugees coming, without the law and order, the starving refugees will be like wild beasts, they can eat people! We have to leave YouMrs. Chu before they get here!”

Chu Chenyin sat in the carriage, listening to their conversation, and breathed a sigh of relief. She had been thinking about how to persuade the Fu family to hurry on their way, but it turned out they had figured it out themselves.

Teammates who don’t need you to say anything are definitely god-level teammates.

After Marquis Fu and the Fu siblings agreed, they immediately packed their things and continued on their journey.

The original plan was to reach YouMrs. Chu City in two days, but now it was changed to reaching the city gate before dawn.

Fu Yanting and Fu Xingcheng, the two brothers, personally drove the carriage.

The wind howled outside the carriage. Chu Chenyin sat inside, her spirit tense, her blood surging.

The emperor, the Chu family, the Wan family, and all those treacherous officials who had been trying to exterminate the Fu family just a few days ago, were probably in a miserable state now.

They probably never imagined that the Fu family, driven away by them, had escaped by chance.

She smiled, looking in the direction of the capital.

At the same time, thousands of miles away from them, in the imperial palace of the capital, the emperor was hiding in a water-surrounded artificial hill, still blaming the two guards beside him for not catching the Fu family, “You’ve been chasing for so long and haven’t found them, you’re useless! Useless!”
