Chapter 222: Caught by a little girl of four or five years old
Wang Yuanshu waited patiently for a moment, then couldn't help but give a tentative smile. "Why? Does the General have a secret mission?"
"How is that possible?" Bai Yu'an withdrew his thoughts. He decided to observe first and then consider whether to tell the other party the truth.
He curled his lips indifferently, "It's nothing, really. My sister and I just wanted to take a look around Beiman and wander around."
"That's great. It's a good idea for the Second Young Master to travel around before he gets married." Wang Yuanshu didn't show any doubt, but he was more certain in his heart that Bai Yu'an was the person Bai Yunfeng left behind to monitor him.
How abominable!
The entire Bai family army has returned to the imperial city to receive rewards and recognition for their merits. Why should he rebuild a new city here in a place full of hatred?
He was not convinced. Since those barbarians hated him, he could just kill them. Talking about giving them a new home was simply wishful thinking.
Wang Yuanshu pulled Bai Yu'an back to where they had just been and explained with a smile, "I'm new here too. Luckily, City Lord Yun is willing to take me in, which also makes it easier for me to rebuild Dongyi City."
"Lord Wang, you are too polite." Yun Tiankuo spoke the Dajin dialect more standardly than those people in the suburbs.
"If it's convenient for the City Lord, could you please arrange a place for these young people to live?" Wang Yuanshu smiled. "In the City Lord's Mansion, that'll be fine."
"Of course, it would be my honor if you don't mind." Yun Tiankuo agreed readily, without looking reluctant at all.
"Okay, thank you City Lord Yun." Wang Yuanshu expressed his gratitude, then lowered his voice and said to Bai Yu'an, "Then it's done. You guys settle down here. I'm going to go get busy and deal with those unruly guys."
As he spoke, he smiled at Yun Tiankuo again, turned around and strode away.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Yuanshu immediately called his personal attendant and said in a low voice, "Send a message to the capital right away, saying that Bai Yu'an and Li Suining have come to the Northern Barbarians."
"Yes, sir." The man received the order and hurried to do it.
Wang Yuanshu stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, looked back, and couldn't help but say coldly in his heart, "How dare you stay in Beiman at this time? You really don't fear death."
He sneered and quickly got into the carriage and left.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Yun Tiankuo led Li Suining and the others to the entrance of an elegant courtyard. "Master Yu'an, Miss Suining, is it okay for you to look here?"
"Of course, City Lord, thank you for your concern." Bai Yu'an expressed his gratitude. "Actually, we might not stay here for long and will leave soon. Sorry to bother you, City Lord."
Yun Tiankuo smiled nonchalantly, "What do you mean by disturbing me? After Dongyi City is built, I will leave. This City Lord's Mansion..."
He glanced at them deeply and said, "Sooner or later, they will all be in the hands of the Great Jin."
"Where is the city lord going?" Little Dumpling suddenly asked in a baby voice.
"I don't know. Anyway, he will leave Dongyi City." Yun Tiankuo said with a smile, looking down at Li Suining with a look that was difficult to understand.
"Why?" Li Suining tilted his head. "Isn't this the city lord's house? Lord Wang and I are just staying here temporarily and will leave soon."
Yun Tiankuo twitched his lips, but did not continue the topic. Finally, he said with concern, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me. I live in the yard over there..."
He pointed to a courtyard not far away, which didn't look like the main courtyard. "I'll send someone to call you for dinner. Have a good rest, I'm leaving now."
He left quickly.
Bai Yu'an and Qingyun looked at each other with strange expressions.
Bai Yu'an spoke first, "You must also think that this city lord is a little strange?"
"Yes, logically speaking, he's a barbarian and the lord of Dongyi City. Shouldn't he hate us?" Qingyun crossed his arms and pursed his lips. "He's too enthusiastic."
"In short, be careful." Bai Yu'an led the little girl inside first.
The courtyard was not large, but it was beautifully decorated. As soon as he entered the house, Li Suining was surprised and said, "Second brother, this is very similar to the house where Sixth brother was captured."
Bai Yu'an nodded in understanding. Maybe You Zhu was in Dongyi City.
Xiaotuanzi and the others had a good rest. Although this place was not as good as the general's mansion in the imperial city, the conditions were much better than those in the camp in the Fairy Forest. They finally had a good sleep.
At night, after the stars came out, Li Suining hurried to the yard.
"How is it?" Bai Yu'an was waiting not far away. When he saw her come back, he asked softly.
Li Suining pursed his lips in distress, "Sixth Brother is still in that house, still tied up. It's been a whole day, and I don't know if he has eaten."
"Be good, we will go out together tomorrow and we will definitely find him." Bai Yu'an comforted him softly.
"Yeah." Little Dumpling nodded and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that whoever caught Sixth Brother would not hurt him.
At the same time, in an inn in the east of Dongyi City.
In the best upper room, You Zhu was still wearing a veil, her hands and feet were tied, and she was thrown into a corner.
He was filled with rage, thinking of his father, fourth brother, and sister. He wondered how they were doing, where his father was, and what they would do when they found out he was missing.
He hated the person who captured him, but the other person was too fast and he didn't even have a chance to struggle.
While You Zhu was thinking, he heard footsteps outside. He knew someone was coming and quickly closed his eyes again.
Soon, the door was pushed open with a creak.
A gentle woman said respectfully, "Miss, please come in. The little beast is inside."
She spoke the language of the Northern Barbarians, and You Zhu heard it clearly. He knew that he was captured by a Northern Barbarian lady.
He made no sound, holding his breath and concentrating, sensing the other party's movements.
"Hey, wake up!" Someone kicked You Zhu, and the voice sounded like a little girl.
You Zhu guessed that the other person should not be much older than his sister, and what surprised him was that the little girl spoke the language of Dajin.
He really wanted to open his eyes and look, but he held back.
The little girl seemed a little annoyed and kicked You Zhu a few more times, "Hey? You little bastard from Dajin, are you dead? Aren't you pretty awesome? Wake up!"
You Zhu felt pain, and the other party scolded him, he couldn't bear it anymore, opened his eyes and immediately scolded back, "You are the bastard!"
Through the veil, he could clearly see the situation of the people in front of him.
There were two young women, with a little girl of four or five years old standing in the middle, who looked like a young lady.
This young lady was obviously a northern barbarian. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and the accessories on her body looked very expensive. At this moment, her round eyes were staring at You Zhu.
"You bastard, how dare you scold me!" Unexpectedly, when the little girl saw You Zhu dared to scold her, she immediately pulled out a silver whip from her waist and whipped You Zhu.
"Do you want to die?" She obviously used all her strength in this whip, and blood immediately appeared on You Zhu's arm.
