  "Mother, how could it be?"

  Liu Fengs face turned pale with fright, and he quickly let go of his hand that was supporting her. Mrs. Mi was Liu Beis legitimate wife, nominally also Liu Fengs stepmother. In this era, the separation between men and women was not as severe as in later generations, but propriety still existed. If someone saw him, a son, embracing and supporting his "mother" with disheveled clothes and exposed skin, even if it was an accident, he would inevitably be criticized by others.

  Mrs. Mi also recognized Liu Feng, who was rescued by her son from the enemys hands. She should have been grateful, but Mrs. Mi was ashamed and turned her head to one side, not daring to look at Liu Feng straight in the eye, as if she had done something shameful.

  Liu Feng understood why she was ashamed, for she was the legitimate wife of Liu Bei, the famous Han Emperor Uncle. Even when Liu Bei abandoned her repeatedly in the past, the enemies who captured her always treated her with courtesy. Now, however, she was humiliated by two unknown Cao soldiers and witnessed by her own adopted son. If this incident were to spread, where would her reputation be? Liu Beis reputation would also suffer a blow.

  At the thought of this, Liu Feng coughed and said, "Dont worry, Mother. I wont mention todays events to anyone. Just wait a moment, Ill go inside and see if I can find some clothes for you to change into."

  Liu Feng comforted Mrs. Zou, turned over the earthen wall, and kicked open the thatched door of the earth house with one foot. The interior was neatly arranged, but there was no one inside. It seemed that the common people who lived here had fled to escape the war disaster. Liu Feng rummaged through the trunks and finally found a few clean womens clothes.

  "Mother, there are a few peasant womens clothes that are still clean. Mother will have to make do with these." Liu Feng took the clothes back under the earth wall and suddenly stood there in a daze.

  At this time, Mrs. Meis belly had an extra baby.

  "Just now I was chased here by those two enemies. I feared they would harm Ah Dou, so I hid him in the haystack." Madam Mi explained.

  A Dou, this kid is also here. In an instant, a terrible thought flashed through Liu Fengs mind, and he immediately forcibly suppressed the thought.

  He walked up with his clothes, lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Adou who was still in his swaddling clothes. This little guy was sleeping so sweetly. Outside, his stepmother had almost been killed by the enemy, but this little guy hadnt been disturbed at all, he was really sleepy.

  "Mother and Ah Dou, how did you end up here? Wheres Gan Niang?" Liu Feng asked.

  "Alas, at that time the enemy arrived suddenly, everyone scattered in a hurry, and I got separated from Gans sister. Later, the soldiers who protected us also escaped, I had no choice but to hold Adou and flee in disarray. Fortunately, I met Fenger, your husband has only this one son, fortunately, he was kept safe."

  Madam Meis words "Husband, he only has this one son" seemed casual, but they pierced Liu Fengs heart.

  Liu Feng vaguely remembered that several months before Adou was born, Empress Dowager Mi had said to him: "Your Majesty has only one son, you must take good care of him and work hard, dont disappoint our expectations."

  Its only been a short few months, but it has become like this. Speaking casually is the true intention. It seems that in their hearts, they never considered me as a member of the Liu family from the start.

  "Its not suitable for us to stay here for long, mother has changed her clothes, lets go and meet father as soon as possible." Liu Feng didnt want to hear her talk about how important Ah Dou was to Liu Bei.

  "And hold on to Adou, Ill change my clothes."

  Liu Feng took over Adou and turned to the outside of the earthen wall. He looked at this little life sleeping in his arms, and suddenly felt that he was being absurd now. It was for the sake of paving the way for this guy that Liu Bei in history disregarded the father-son relationship and used Guan Yus death as an excuse to eliminate "Liu Feng". And yet, knowing history, he still had to protect this root of trouble.

  That evil thought in his mind sprouted again, the eyes filled with bloodshot, the palms of his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the killing intent was gradually condensing.

  Liu Chans life is in my hands. Why dont I eliminate this scourge and change the tragic ending of my story?

  However, Lady Mi is here, if I were to kill Adou, how could I conceal it?

  Clasping his fists tightly, his sword-like eyebrows converged into a fearsome blade.

  Another even more frightening thought fills his mind: if its like that, then lets not stop at just one, and take down the entire Zhao family along with him!

  Just as Liu Feng was hesitating at the moment of deciding on a surname, he suddenly heard a dull thud from the other side of the earthen wall. Suddenly remembering something, Liu Feng quickly retracted his evil intentions and rushed over in a few strides, instantly shocked speechless.

  Huan, the wife of Min Fu, was lying at the foot of the earthen wall, with a big hole in her forehead and a large pool of blood around her, obviously having smashed into the wall to take her own life just now.

  Liu Feng just thought of it: In history, it should be Zhao Yun who discovered Mi Fu and Adou first. Mi Fu took her own life so as not to drag Adou down. Now, in a mysterious way, it seems that he has replaced Zhao Yun. If so, would Mi Fu still take her own life?

  But now Liu Feng no longer needs to guess.

  "Mother, why must it be like this?" Liu Feng silently walked forward, shaking his head and sighing but not offering any help. Lady Mei was injured too severely, with only a breath left, and under such circumstances without any medical treatment, any effort would be in vain.

  Mrs. Mei, on her last breath, trembled and said: "I... suffered this humiliation... have no face to see my husband again... please... protect Ah Dou... protect..."

  Mrs. Meis voice was hoarse, with a gaze that was almost pleading, looking at herself, Liu Feng understood that if he didnt agree, she wouldnt be able to leave with peace of mind either. What else could Liu Feng do for a woman who was about to die? He silently nodded his head.

  Madam Mei obtained Liu Fengs promise, and her pale face suddenly revealed a hint of a relieved smile. She then closed her eyes, still smiling, and fell into the pool of blood.

  "Liu Bei abandoned him three times, five times, and yet this Ah Dou is not even his biological son. Until death, he still wholeheartedly thinks of Liu Bei. Alas, I dont know whether to say its admirable or pitiful."

  Liu Feng looked down at Ah Dou, this little guy was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the joys and sorrows of the outside world.

  At this moment, Liu Feng forgot his promise to Zous wife, as if he was holding not a living baby in his arms, but his own destiny.

  Fate is in ones own hands, a heaven-sent opportunity, reversing fate and changing destiny depends on Liu Fengs thoughts.

  To kill or not to kill?

  Time seemed to freeze at this moment, Liu Feng could clearly hear his own heartbeat accelerating, and the hot blood in his chest surging. His eyes grew more ferocious, his face twisted into a grotesque shape, covered with bloodstains.

  At the critical moment of decision, Adou in his arms woke up. He opened a pair of big watery eyes and stared blankly at the person holding him with his black pupils. Suddenly, he smiled.

  The little guys innocent smile suddenly awakened Liu Feng from the shroud of murderous intent, and at this moment, Liu Feng had an epiphany like a sudden awakening.

  Was Liu Shan really the root of all evils?

  Even if he killed Liu Shan, Liu Bei would still have had Liu Yong and Liu Li. As long as Liu Bei was not a surname of incompetence, in his lifetime, he would always have his own biological son. Isnt that the case in history?

  By that time, Liu Feng was still a threat. Whether it was Liu Shan or someone else, as long as he threatened the position of his own son, Liu Bei would unhesitatingly eliminate him.

  The real source of trouble is actually Liu Bei!

  Liu Feng sneered at himself and laughed: "Liu Feng, Liu Feng, remember that from now on, you must think more about things. To kill an infant who hasnt even learned to crawl, its really a loss to have thought of this."

  The murderous intention was dispelled, and Liu Feng immediately used his cloak to wrap Adou around his body, holding him in front of his chest. He prepared to fulfill his promise to Mrs. Mi, to safely escort Adou into the hands of Liu Bei. Perhaps the merit of saving Adou would have a certain effect on changing his own fate.

  Liu Feng bound up Adou, originally intending to leave this place and continue southward. However, thinking about leaving the body of Mi Fus wife here was not a solution either. If Caos army found it, they would use it to humiliate Liu Bei, and he would still have to take responsibility for it.

  Then Liu Feng wiped the bloodstains off Madame Mis body, as a sign of respect for the dead, and moved her under the earth wall, preparing to push the earth wall down to bury her.

  With his usual strength, it would be easy to push down this earth wall, but now Liu Feng was injured and his strength greatly reduced. He could only endure the pain in his abdomen, gather all his strength, and make a great effort to push that earth wall.

  With all his might, the earth wall shook and was about to collapse. Just then, a loud shout like thunder suddenly burst forth beside his ear: "Halt!"

  Liu Fengs eardrums buzzed and his head spun, and when he suddenly turned around, what he saw was a cloud-like pure white shadow.

  As the tinnitus subsided, his vision gradually cleared up. The man was wearing a silver armor and a pure white brocade robe, with a long spear in his hand that shone with a silver glow.

  He looked up and gazed intently at that ancient bronze-colored handsome face, with sharp features as if carved by a knife, under the two horizontal eyebrows was a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, in the yellowish-brown pupils, his eyes flashed like a knife edge. At this moment, those eyes were coldly staring at him, with a hint of anger.

  That man was precisely Zhao Yun.

  Liu Feng was worried that with his current physical condition, it was uncertain whether he could successfully escape south with an infant. Zhao Yuns sudden appearance should have made him feel delighted, but the anger in Zhao Yuns voice made Liu Feng feel a sense of foreboding.

  "What are you doing!" Zhao Yun shouted again, his hand gripping the gun tightly, with a surge of anger and killing intent bursting out.

  Liu Fengs heart skipped a beat: Oh no, he came at the worst possible time. Did he think I was the one who harmed Mrs. Mo?
