The Red Bride - Chapter 25

Hu Feng raised his hand and immediately several black figures appeared out of thin air. The hidden guards gave chase to the fleeting bandits, while the Emperor removed his arm from her thin waist. Mu Qing happily followed the icy man to torture the bandits’ boss.

A hard kick landed squarely on the wild’s man chest. Nonetheless, the man was still out cold. Then there was a small tap on Hu Feng’s arm. He looked to his left and saw the little glutton holding the bottle of wine. She raised a perfectly trimmed eyebrow at him. He took the bottle from her and poured it all over the leader.

When she was walking over to the Hu Feng, Mu Qing made a quick detour to get the bottle. Knowing the Emperor’s temper, he probably would beat the man half to death before waking him up. It’s easier to get information out of him this way. Plus, it’s more fun to beat him when he’s conscious.

“Ca-hu-hu,” the bandit slowly opened his eyes. He glanced around the battlefield and saw that most of his men had escaped. His eyes regained their arrogance despite having a dagger at his throat.

He looked at the couple in front of him with glee, “Kekeke! Do you know who I am? How can a lowly bodyguard dare to hurt me!”

Hu Feng glanced apathetically at the man, “Never heard of you.”

Instead of being angry, the wild man was even more delighted! Clearly, this was just a rich young miss and her bodyguard. He doesn’t have anything to fear now.

“Keke. Then let me tell you this. I am the boss of the Mountain King group! Letting my boys go was a big mistake, the imperial guards will arrive soon to arrest you! Hahah!”

Mu Qing grabbed onto Hu Feng’s arm and stuttered, “A-ah, Bodyguard Hu, what should we do? I’m scared!”

“Kekeke! You should be scared little lady! If you give me your body, I might think about letting you go! Hahah!”

The ruffian was so high on adrenaline and arrogance that he completely miss the cold look in Mu Qing’s eyes. Hu Feng’s killing intent was even more thick now. The crazed man really doesn’t know what’s good for him!

The Emperor’s voice was practically Antarctica, “He’s just bluffing.”

This time the man was furious, “Bluffing?! I, Long Yi, even have the magistrate in my pocket so I couldn’t care less about trash like you! Now give me the woman and money or I will send both of you to rot in prison!”

As soon as those words landed, several armed imperial guards appeared. Long Yi sent a wicked glanced at the couple. The guards pointed their spears at Hu Feng and Mu Qing, and one of them went over to support Long Yi.

“Under the decree of the Fu County Magistrate, Xian Bo, both of you are arrested for attempted murder on a citizen! Do not resist!”

One of the guard walked over to the couple, “Give me your arms!”

Both Mu Qing and Hu Feng obediently stretched out their arms as Long Yi sneered in their direction. The guard put cuffs on them and pulled them by the chain.

“Move out!”

–

Inside a grand hall, stood two rows of imperial guards with planks in their hands. In the front stood a tall and overwhelming desk, and behind it was a painting of a dragon. This was the judgement hall of Fu County.

“All bow to Magistrate Xian!!”

A pudgy man in a red robe appeared from the side door. On his head sat the Imperial hat, looking too small for his big body. His eyes greedily examined the lady’s body. She looked tender and delicious.

However, he was enraged when he saw that the couple did not move to bow to him.

“Someone come and hit them on the knees!”

Before the guard can even reach him, Hu Feng already sent him flying with a kick. He turned and glared hard at Xian Bo. Mu Qing just stood there silently waiting for the show.

Xian Bo’s big old face turned red in fury, “Presumptuous! This is the official court under His Highness, the son of heaven, and you still dare to act this way? Someone remove their veils and hit the man!”

The guards were more hesitant to approach the couple standing in the middle of the room. Mu Qing slowly took off her veil and moved over to Hu Feng to take off his. Seeing that small and elegant face, Xian Bo was even more lustful. The woman was a true beauty! Such big, round eyes! Her skin was white as jade and her lips were like rose petals!

The man beside her was an eyesore. His handsomeness made Xian Bo feel bitter. However, the thought of him holding their lives in his hands brought him great comfort.

Now one couldn’t really blame Xian Bo for not knowing what the Emperor and Empress look like. He was far too low in rank to actually ever seen Hu Feng in person. While there are paintings, most of which are based on someone else’s imagination. The one thing he hated the most was getting himself painted, and Mu Qing was never allowed to leave her house.

“HeheThis young miss, your face is adequate enough to be my concubine. If you marry me, I will let that man go. That’s not unfair is it?”

I think Hu Feng might murder someone soon.
