Chapter 271: Chapter 32: The Traitor【Two in One】_3 Chapter 271: Chapter 32: The Traitor【Two in One】_3 With a soft little hand, she swiftly hugged the traitor’s neck. Her little mouth kissed his face twice, like a flower petal touching him lightly.

In that instant, the traitor felt all the grievances, reproaches, exhaustion, and shame he had endured vanished into thin air. They no longer existed!

The traitor smiled softly, asking, “Ah Duo, were you a good girl today?”

“Ah Duo was very good. I made medicine for mom and even helped brother to walk a few steps.”

The little girl lifted her head proudly, boasting, “I’m amazing, aren’t I? I took care of mom and brother very well.”

“Took a few steps? Can your brother stand up now?”

The traitor shuddered.

“Yes. He was able to walk a few steps, but he fell again and squashed me.”

The little girl pouted her mouth, extending her tiny arm, “Daddy look, I scraped my elbow.”

“Ah Duo, you’ve worked hard. You’re the most obedient girl, daddy’s good girl.”

The traitor lifted his daughter’s arm to blow away the pain, “Daddy will make it better.”

“It really doesn’t hurt anymore.”

The little girl giggled joyously.

“Duo Duo, did your chest hurt today?”

“No, it didn’t hurt, it didn’t hurt, I’m all better now.”

The little girl turned around and shouted, “Mom, mom, daddy is home.”

Following her call, a frail woman appeared at the doorway, leaning against the frame for support. She looked at the traitor tenderly, “You’re back.”

“Yes, I’ve returned safe and sound!”

The traitor laughed heartily, stepping forward, “I’ve brought back delicacies for Duo Duo and Little Han. Today’s mission was completed quickly and smoothly, I nearly got whacked…”

Mid-sentence he took out the silver note, “Today’s reward was a bit meagre since the target was relatively easy, it’s only fifty taels. Keep it safe, continue with the medication now that your health is improving. We have money, I’ll continue earning more money.”

“Mm, cough, cough, cough…”

The woman’s eyes radiated trust as she looked at her husband, she accepted the silver note, “I know, you must also be careful, safety is paramount.”

Her voice was faint and intermingled with intermittent coughing.

Yet, the traitor was content. His wife appeared significantly healthier, as compared to her unconscious state prior to this.

Looking at his son who was sitting upright on the bed, hope filled his heart.

His son’s health had shown significant improvement.

Their home was making gradual progress.

The future looked promising.

He brought out the food, “The colleagues I worked with today left these behind. They are wealthy and bought lots of expensive food. Try some.”

“Okay.”

The family gathered around and finished dinner. Afterwards, the traitor made soup. They ate till they were full.

“Daddy, this meat tastes divine.”

The little girl stuffed her mouth full of meat, her expression was one of sheer bliss, as if her face was glowing.

“If I get the chance, I’ll bring back more for Ah Duo in the future.”

“Mm, mm!”

The little girl nodded fervently.

After dinner, the traitor assisted his son in doing some exercises to help him recover. That took roughly half an hour. He then prepared medicine for his wife, a big pot of it, enough for tonight and three servings for tomorrow.

He also made medicine for his little daughter.

Little Ah Duo wasn’t blessed with good health, and had to regularly take nourishing herbs to alleviate her constant chest pains and strengthen her system.

After completing these tasks, he tidied up the house and chopped a pile of wood in the courtyard.

Then, wiping off his sweat, he said, “We’re running low on firewood at home, I’ll go buy some more.”

He requested a tael of silver from his wife, pocketed it, and left the house.

“You should return soon.” His wife leaned against the doorway.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be quick.” The traitor chuckled, “It’s already dark out. The unsold firewood should be cheap right now, they won’t be able to demand high prices.”

“Mm.”

His wife nodded hesitatingly.

After years of being married, she felt something was different about her husband today, compared to his usual self.

Yet she didn’t overthink it.

She watched her husband’s upright figure walk out of the small alley and disappear in the distance.

Then, the traitor made his way towards the direction of Yuezhou City military camp.

Supreme Mountain planned to collaborate with countries like the Great Yan to deal with Gentle. They even mentioned several generals of Great Qin.

This was more than just dealing with Gentle. It involved matters of national interest!

This information had to be passed to Great Qin!

His steps hastened.

For my wife, for my children, for our family’s survival, I can bury my conscience, betray my comrades and abandon my beliefs. I may be a traitor,

but don’t forget, I am a man of Great Qin!

I can sell anything, but I will never sell out my country!

For my wife and children, I can sell everything about myself!

But for the sake of Great Qin, I can sacrifice my family!

At the gate of Yuezhou City military camp,

The traitor, acting all sneaky, is seized by two patrolling soldiers as soon as he was about to approach the entrance.

“You audacious thief, daring to spy on the military camp, what are your intentions!”

“I have an urgent matter and must see the Great Marshal!” The traitor hurriedly replied.

“Meet the Great Marshal? Urgent matter? What’s the matter?”

“It involves critical information about Yan State wanting to harm our Great Qin.”

“Huh?”

“This matter is pressing, do not delay any longer or there’ll be a big disaster!”

“Hm… The Great Marshal isn’t at the camp right now, damn, I shouldn’t be sharing this information!”
