Chapter 381 Smash it and then try to recognize relatives?

Little Su Bao nodded at Lin Qi Qi and said in her soft, childlike voice, "What does Sister Qi Qi want to ask?"

Lin Qiqi took a deep breath and asked the question that had been bothering her.

"Are you one of our children who were lost and raised away?" Lin Qiqi asked earnestly.

Little Su Bao was momentarily stunned. She looked at Lin Qi Qi, her big eyes blinking rapidly, her little head spinning.

Is he trying to claim kinship again after smashing it?

She had just recognized her father, and now she has gained both a royal grandfather and a royal grandmother...

"Ahem!" Tang Bugui coughed lightly, covering his lips, his cool eyes falling on Lin Qiqi.

The little girl's hair stood on end instantly, and she looked at Tang Bugui warily.

Tang Bugui also glanced at the girl. These children were the ones that Xiao Su Bao and the others had rescued before.

The emperor originally wanted these children to go home, but some of the younger ones had already forgotten where their homes were.

The older people, however, still remembered where their homes were, so the emperor sent people to inquire about them and also planned to send them back home.

Unexpectedly, apart from the families of the two little girls who were still looking for them, the families of the other girls simply pretended that they didn't have any daughters.

As for the older boys, they have all gone back home. Tangjia Village now has about a dozen young girls, who are all being supported by the village's money.

"Daddy..." Little Su Bao looked at her father excitedly and reached out to hug his neck.

Seeing his daughter's dependence on him, Tang Bugui smiled and the oppressive aura dissipated.

Tang Bugui picked up Xiao Su Bao and then looked at Lin Qiqi: "Su Bao is my daughter, not the Lin family's lost child, you..."

Before Tang Bugui could say anything more, the emperor suddenly appeared from the side.

He was still holding a pheasant in his hand...

The emperor was covered in sweat and didn't look very presentable. If the censors saw him, they would surely give him another lecture.

"Bugui, come here quickly, look what good stuff I caught!" the emperor shouted excitedly to Tang Bugui.

Little Su Bao looked at her grandfather's other hand, which was a snake with black skin and white rings.

The little dumpling couldn't help but furrow its brow slightly, its thin lips pressed tightly together.

Such malice!

The little dumpling's hair stood on end, and its eyes widened in surprise.

Before she could speak, she heard the emperor say, "Little girl, don't be afraid, it's just a snake!"

Before Xiao Su Bao could even speak, Lin Qi Qi had already stepped in front of the little dumpling to protect her.

Tang Bugui, holding his daughter, silently took a step back before saying, "Little Lingzi..."

"I am here!"

Ling Buqi suddenly appeared from the side. Before he could even see clearly, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

Then he saw the emperor hand him a pheasant with one hand, and in his other hand, there was a snake...

Ling Buqi's hands were hard!

This guy was even spitting his tongue at him! Ling Buqi was completely flustered. He looked up and pitifully stared at the emperor.

However, the emperor did not look at his face, but looked at Xiao Su Bao with a happy expression.

"Don't worry, Su Bao! We can make Dragon and Phoenix Soup today, it tastes absolutely delicious!"

The emperor had a smile in his eyes, recalling how he and the empress had been trapped in the mountains before he became emperor.

The empress was injured, and since his martial arts skills were not very good, he went to great lengths to catch a pheasant.

The snake was captured by the empress because it almost bit itself.

Speaking of which...

The snake could be considered a matchmaker for the two.

The emperor thought about his youth, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Ling Buqi felt a little uneasy listening to the emperor's words...

But we need to stay calm and not show any weakness...

Little Su Bao pursed her lips and tugged at her father's clothes: "Daddy, that snake..."

"Don't be afraid, Daddy won't let the snake bite you!" Tang Bugui said gently, looking at his daughter.

Little Su Bao...

She wasn't afraid of being bitten; she was afraid the snake was a bad snake!

She and her mute grandmother have eaten countless snakes that were harmless in the past.

But this kind of...

"Hey, what's this golden white flower snake?" A clear voice rang out, seemingly tinged with curiosity.

Lin Qiqi was dressed as a man and looked even more handsome than Ling Buqi, especially his eyes, which seemed to speak volumes.

Little Su Bao looked over, her eyes filled with curiosity.

What is the Money Flower Snake?

"This thing is a highly venomous snake, and the environment in these mountains is not suitable for raising such venomous snakes!" Lin Qiqi muttered to herself.

She paused when she saw Ling Buqi's pale face.

"Be careful when you hold it by its seven-inch mark, don't irritate it," Lin Qiqi hurriedly instructed.

The emperor was taken aback, and a hint of coldness instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Where should this kind of snake live?" the emperor asked, looking at Lin Qiqi.

Lin Qiqi paused, glanced at the emperor, and pursed her lips, saying, "In the south, or in a warmer climate, An County, being located in the north, shouldn't have this kind of money snake."

"Men, go and investigate!" At the emperor's command, a bodyguard rushed out instantly.

Tang Bugui's brows furrowed, and his complexion didn't look good either.

"Su Bao, you go with Grandpa to find Grandma. Daddy has some things to do!" Tang Bugui put Su Bao down, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Little Su Bao nodded, and after getting down from Tang Bugui's arms, she took her grandfather's hand.

The little dumpling looked at Tang Bugui carefully. His father's face was radiant, so he should be fine.

She glanced at Ling Buqi and Lin Qiqi again; neither of them seemed to be in any danger.

Just as the little dumpling was about to breathe a sigh of relief, it suddenly stopped in its tracks.

She raised her eyes and looked into the distance.

That was the place where the Queen was talking with several women from the village.

"Grandma, Aunt Su, Aunt Wang..." Little Su Bao shouted to them.

The emperor was puzzled, but the villagers immediately perked up.

Su Daya's mother immediately grabbed the Empress's arm.

Before the Empress could react, she was already being pulled towards Xiao Su Bao and the others.

The instant they ran away, an arrow flashed past and flew directly towards the spot where the Empress had just been.

Everyone immediately became alert.

The children who followed were initially startled, but the next moment, apart from the few who hadn't been abducted...

The children of Tangjia Village's first reaction was to pull out their weapons!

It's basically just some small hoes, or axes, sticks and the like.

Instead of being afraid, a group of children rushed over and shielded the Queen and her entourage behind them.

When they came out, Tang Datou quietly called the villagers over and instructed them to protect the emperor and empress no matter what.

Even Granny Bai came out and muttered a lot of things to them.

In short, it's about protecting the emperor, empress, and Xiao Su Bao and the others!

"What should we do?" The girls looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao also held a bamboo stick in his hand, his eyes showing a hint of wariness.

These young girls included daughters of noble families, as well as those from humble households or farming families.

But they were all rather timid, and this sudden incident had already made them a little scared.

"Together with the children of Tangjia Village!" Lin Xiao said, grabbing Lin Jiu and joining the line of children from Tangjia Village.

The children glanced at them and then slowly pushed them in front of the Empress and Emperor, effectively protecting them.

The moment Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, men, women, and children from the village rushed over, their faces filled with a fierce aura.

In the next instant, a large number of people gathered here.

A dozen or so men in black stood not far away. The leader squinted at the Emperor and Empress, while Tang Bugui and Ling Buqi stood on the outermost edge.

"Kill!" the leader shouted, and immediately the men in black charged forward with swords and knives.

The leader headed towards Tang Bugui.

Little Su Bao stood in the crowd, her heart pounding.

The little dumpling couldn't understand why there were always so many dangers around her father.

Just as she was filled with worry, a hand landed on her.

Little Su Bao looked up and saw the Empress.

"Grandma!" Little Su Bao called out obediently to the Empress.

The Empress nodded, a smile in her eyes.

"Are you scared? It's alright, trust your father, he's very capable, he'll definitely come back safely!" the Empress said gently, her eyes shining with a firm light.

The emperor's heart softened when he saw his wife in such a state, and he reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.

However, before his hand could reach out, the empress slightly turned her body and dodged his hand.

"You just touched a snake? Be careful, it might be poisonous and hurt Su Bao!" The Empress turned to the Emperor and said.

The emperor felt wronged and wanted to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

"Grandpa and Grandma, please don't be angry, okay? Su Bao is fine, Su Bao is okay!" Little Su Bao quickly spoke up when she saw that the two seemed to be getting angry.

Grandpa and Grandma are very good to Su Bao, and little Su Bao doesn't want them to quarrel because of her.

Seeing the little dumpling's anxious look, the emperor reached out to pinch her cute little face.

But when the big hand reached the little dumpling, it withdrew.

Who knows if those people will tamper with the snake?

"Grandpa Emperor knows our Su Bao is alright. He'll hold you after he washes his hands!" the Emperor said with a smile to Su Bao.

Looking back now, he feels a bit scared.

The emperor felt it was somewhat of a coincidence that he had caught the poisonous snake earlier, given his own lack of skill.

Looking back now, maybe someone deliberately put the venomous snake there.

If one does not discover and catch the venomous snake in time...

When I pass by and get there, the poisonous snake will definitely bite me!

The emperor wasn't stupid; he guessed something after just a little thought.

I'm afraid someone is plotting against me!

The journey was relatively safe until we reached Lan County, but things changed.

The entire Lan County is probably rotten to the core.

The emperor frowned slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness.

"Xu Fu, can you recognize whose people these are?" the emperor asked, looking at the eunuch Xu beside him.

Eunuch Xu had been carefully observing the situation. Upon hearing the emperor's words, he replied, "Your Majesty, these people's martial arts are from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world), and their clothing should belong to the Jiangnan region..."

Eunuch Xu analyzed the situation from the side.

Xiao Su Bao and the others stared wide-eyed as they listened.

How can I see so much in just a short time?

Little Su Bao instantly became a fan.

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then seemed to notice something and whispered, "There's something over there!"

Eunuch Xu stood in front of the Emperor and Empress, his gaze fixed on a distance away.

Little Su Bao instinctively tightened her grip on the Emperor and Empress's hands, her eyes shining with a nervous yet clear light.

The emperor gave Xiao Su Bao a deep look, as if he had thought of something.

Just then, a one-eyed tiger appeared, accompanied by a white tiger.

Two tigers stood not far away, then roared into the forest.

A moment later, a leopard covered in coin-like spots appeared.

Little Su Bao was stunned.

The four children saw their parents and instantly darted away from under their feet.

"Roar!" These usually ferocious beasts did not rush over. The one-eyed tiger turned around, then picked up a man in black and threw him in front of it.

"Big Tiger..." Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback, as she knew that Big Tiger disliked humans very much.

I almost ate myself for lunch before!

"This tiger is quite intelligent!" The Queen paused for a moment, then looked down at Little Su Bao as if she had thought of something.

The little girl was watching the family of wild beasts reunited outside, her big eyes filled with tears.

She could feel the joy of the four little ones, and she could also feel the doting of Big Tiger and White Tiger on their own children.

She couldn't help but feel a little envious of these little ones!

Just then, Fu Manduo held Tang Dabao's hand with one hand, while quietly patting Xiao Su Bao's back with the other.

"My good friend, the animals you keep are all so amazing!" Fu Manduo exclaimed sincerely, which made her really want to get one too...

However, Father said that a white tiger was impossible, and a leopard was also impossible...

In the end, I don't know where my father got a Pekingese dog. Although it was still cute, it lacked some of its wildness.

"If Sister Fu likes it, you can..." The little dumpling thought for a moment before saying, "You can stay in the village for a few more days!"

Fu Manduo nodded immediately, since his father said he couldn't come back for the time being and told him to stay in the village and not go home.

The little girl didn't quite like the Fu family either.

"Okay, then I'll stay a few more days!" Fu Manduo said cheerfully.

The emperor, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback when he saw Fu Manduo and Tang Dabao holding hands.

He naturally knew about the Sima family's affairs.

Fu Manduo had the same illness as her mother before; she would have an allergic reaction all over her body when she came into contact with other men.

The daughter of the Sima family was exceptionally beautiful and talented, but she married Fu Lin, the unattractive son of the Fu family.

The emperor knew that if it weren't for Sima Sanniang's illness, even the eldest son of the Fu family might not have been able to marry that girl.

He once wanted to marry that girl off to the crown prince.

Alas...

"Are you cured?" the emperor asked, smiling at Fumanduo.
