My Fantastic Chef Wife Chapter 304 - Baoshan Rushed Over

304. Baoshan Rushed OverTranslator: 洋葱头

Seeing that Jin Xiaoyu was back, Tarico was about to pull her over to take a look but Jin Xiaoyu told Mcginon promptly, “Mcginon, quickly take Little Xun away and hide in the desert. Don’t come back for the next few days!”
Mcginon asked, “Why?”
Tarico asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jin Xiaoyu said with a pale face, “Those soldiers may be… looking for Little Xun. If Little Xun is discovered by them, he will definitely be dead.”
Tarico asked, “What about you?”
Jin Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, “If this happened because of us, I naturally have to stay and take the responsibility. Let them catch me.”
Tarico then asked, “So, you were wanted…”
“We are fugitives!” Jin Xiaorou interrupted, “But we are not bad people. Ah, Tarico, don’t waste time with me anymore. Listen to me, let Mcginon escape with Little Xun. Little Xun can’t die!”
“Okay!” Tarico actually seemed very calm.
He ordered Mcginon who had yet to react, “Listen to Miss Jin. Take Little Xun with you and escape to the desert. Don’t let anyone find you.”
Then he told Jin Xiaoyu, “Are you going back to the tribe? Get on the horse, I’ll go with you.”
“Okay!”
“By the way, did you just see Little Ye?” Tarico asked again.
Jin Xiaoyu didn’t know why Tarico still had the time to ask such questions.
“I saw her. She rode a horse to the market too. She said she rode too slowly and was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep up with me, so she let me return by myself first.”
Jin Xiaoyu got on the horse as she spoke.
But just as one foot stepped onto the horse, there was a piercing pain from the back of her head and then the sky and the earth started spinning round.
Before she lost consciousness, she only saw Tarico’s calm face and fell into his arms.
He asked these questions to distract her.
……
Tarico carried Jin Xiaoyu on his horse and rushed towards the market.
He stopped when he met Ye Xiaoxian who had just returned from the market.
Ye Xiaoxian also saw Tarico and a person lying in front of Tarico. It was Jin Xiaoyu.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Tarico, what’s wrong with Xiaoyu?”
Jin Xiaoyu was like a sackcloth that was placed on the back of a horse by Tarico.
Tarico didn’t explain. Instead, he carried Jin Xiaoyu down, put her on Ye Xiaoxian’s horse, and said, “Something is happening in the tribe. A group of soldiers came. They might be here to catch her. Take her away quickly and go towards the desert. Little Xun and Mcginon are already there.”
Ye Xiaoxian asked with surprise, “Then… what is the situation now?”
If they couldn’t catch Jin Xiaoyu and Little Xun, would they hurt others?
Tarico said, “I don’t know yet. I’m the tribal leader, so I have to go back. I’ll do my best to control the situation. Take her away quickly.”
“…” It was too sudden that Ye Xiaoxian was not prepared at all.
Tarico added, “Don’t worry, I am the tribal leader. I will protect your family and won’t let anyone in the tribe get hurt.”
Then, he turned the direction of the horse for Ye Xiaoxian and slapped on the horse’s buttock. The horse was shocked and immediately ran forward.
Ye Xiaoxian was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the reins while paying attention to Jin Xiaoyu in front of her, not letting her fall.
……
At the tribe.
Everyone was stunned.
There were suddenly hundreds of soldiers riding horses all at once, surrounding the tribe.
Someone shouted, “Everyone, come out and line up!”
Most of them were just commoners, so they didn’t dare to disobey. Soon, they hurriedly came out to form a large line.
Only Wang Wen and Wang Wu were arrogant.
Who are these guys? Why are you here?
The children had sharp eyes, especially Baoyang. He instantly recognized that the man leading the soldiers was the salesman who had come a while ago. He couldn’t help but shout, “The salesman?”
How would the soldiers’ leader pay attention to him? He frightened Baoyang into tears with just one look.
The leader, who disguised himself as a salesman before, acted completely differently from how he was when he sold toys.
“Find someone in charge of this place!” The leader said.
Squire Liu was about to stand out when Tarico’s voice was heard nearby, “I’m the tribal leader!”
Tarico rode his horse and soon arrived in front of those people.
The officer did not get down his horse, so neither did Tarico. Instead, he sat on the horse and confronted with the officer.
The officer asked, “You are the tribal leader?”
“Yes!”
The officer said coldly, “Do you know that hiding an imperial criminal is a crime?”
“An imperial criminal? I don’t have such a person here,” Tarico said.
The general took out a piece of paper with a picture of Jin Xiaoyu and Little Xun on it. “You should know these two people. As far as I know, they are here. Give them over or I will kill all of you now.”
Tarico said, “They are not here, they have left already.”
“Left?” The officer looked vicious. “If they left already, when?”
“It’s been a few days.”
“Is that so?” The leader immediately waved.
At this moment, Mahal also rode over.
Mahal said angrily, “Tarico is obviously lying. I saw the two fugitives this morning. Tarico must have hidden them away!”
Everyone was shocked.
Jin Xiaoyu and Little Xun were fugitives.
Aren’t they the ones the Seventh King wants to protect?
Neither did they expect Mahal to be a traitor.
Where on earth did Mahal get his courage?
However, how could the two people that the Seventh King wanted to protect be fugitives? They had seen Jin Xiaoyu before. They knew that she ran an inn. What crime could she commit?
Before the crowd could figure out the situation, the leader immediately pointed his finger at the crowd. At first, there was no specific candidate. Everyone was pointed at by him and couldn’t help but take a step back.
Later, his fingers were fixed on Xiao Baocheng, “You, come out!”
Xiao Baocheng was so frightened that his legs trembled and he almost peed in his pants.
Xiao Tieshu quickly stepped in front of Xiao Baocheng, “Master, you… If you want to know anything, ask me. Don’t make things difficult for children.”
“Ask you? Alright, where did the two fugitives go then?”
Xiao Tieshu didn’t dare to take Xiao Baocheng’s life as a bet so he said, “I don’t know. I indeed saw them this morning, but I don’t know where they are now. Maybe they are hiding? What about…searching around?”
Wang Mudan was also very scared, but she was worried about Xiao Baocheng, so she stood up and said, “Master, we really don’t know that those two people are fugitives. They… they came by themselves. We can’t just watch them die and do nothing.”
The leader sneered, “Did they come on their own, or did someone arrange for them to come? You’d better make it clear to me today. Otherwise, this knife of mine is blind and can kill this little bastard at any time!”
Wang Mudan was scared and didn’t know whether to say or not.
At this moment, Wang Wu stood up and said calmly, “They came by themselves. It’s none of our business!”
“Is that so? Who are you again?”
“From the Seventh King’s residence. I come to assist their tribe in herding the camels during this period!” Wang Wu said.
The leader knew that the Seventh King held no actual power now; it was only a title. So he didn’t care about Wang Wu and said, “Since you are from the Seventh King’s residence, as long as you cooperate with me, I will leave you alive. But I need you to tell me now, to which place did the two criminals escape?”
“I said I don’t know!” Wang Wu said, “How can I tell you if I don’t know!”
“In that case, don’t blame us for being rude!”
“What do you want?” Wang Wu asked again.
“The order I received is that no matter whether I can catch the fugitives or not, I will slaughter your tribe. So don’t blame me, blame the two fugitives for hiding here, while none of you reported it.”
Everyone turned pale when they heard that the soldiers were going to slaughter the village. They all howled painfully.
There were more than a hundred soldiers and all of them looked strong and professional. They only had Wang Wen, Wang Wu and Tarico here, leaving behind some old and weak women and children. They had no chance to win.
Wang Wen stood up, “If you want to catch the fugitives, then do so. Why are you slaughtering the tribe? Which law are you referring to and who gave the order?”
The leader sneered again, “Of course, I’m referring to the law of Great Qi Dynasty. The person who gave the order is the State Preceptor. Do you have any other questions? Even if there is, please go to the bottom of the Hell and ask the King of Hell!”
Everyone in the tribe was flustered and were holding together. They couldn’t imagine what had just happened in a sudden.
The leader raised his hand and was about to order the village to be slaughtered when someone rushed over.
“Father, I saw that woman. They fled to the desert!”
It was Dati, who shouted at Mahal.
Mahal immediately reported to the leader, “Someone saw them fleeing towards the desert.”
The leader’s eyes turned cold. He casually ordered someone, “You, follow me. Everyone else, kill all the villagers here!”
Then the leader and one of his soldiers rushed towards the desert.
The remaining soldiers waved their knives, wanting to rush into the tribe.
Tarico glanced at the leader who went to kill Jin Xiaoyu, then looked at the people who were crying in groups. Finally, he chose to stay to fight against the soldiers.
Wang Wen and Wang Wu also swung their knives at the soldiers. They would save as many people as they could.
The only people who could fight were Squire Liu and the people from Xiao family: Xiao Tieshu, Xiao Tongshu, and Jia Zhenbo.
But these people couldn’t resist for long.
One of the soldiers had already reached in front of Squire Liu. He waved his knife and was about to kill Squire Liu when Squire Liu was so scared that he sprawled on the ground。
However, he didn’t feel the pain he had imagined. Instead, he heard a scream behind him.
Accompanied by this scream was the sound of hoof steps not far away. The sound of the hooves was so loud and rapid that it was enough to wake the dead.
Xiao Baoshan rushed as he shot the arrows.
After five or six soldiers were shot to death by him, the soldiers could not care about these commoners anymore, so they turned to Xiao Baoshan.
