Chapter 262 When they meet again, they will be enemies
Starting from the next day, Li Suining basically did not go out. She pestered Haijiao to continue teaching her the Man language and studied very seriously.
Hai Jiao couldn't help but feel distressed and let Xiaotuanzi rest for a while. Since she was there, why should Xiaotuanzi worry about not being able to talk to the barbarians?
But Li Suining was very persistent. This child was obviously very persevering. Once he made a decision, he would always stick to it, no matter how hard or tiring it was.
In fact, the little girl wanted to learn the barbarian language for Aunt Haijiao. Ever since Sister Baikou came that day, she always saw Aunt Haijiao sitting in a daze alone.
She knew that Aunt Haijiao had taken Sister Bai Kou's words to heart.
That day, they had just finished lunch when they saw Yun Tiankuo coming to find Haijiao.
"Okay, go wait for me by the pond, I'll be out soon." Hai Jiao said to Xiao Tuanzi and went out.
"What's wrong?" She just noticed that Yun Tiankuo's expression was a little solemn, as if something big was about to happen.
Yun Tiankuo frowned and looked at Haijiao intently. After a while, he slowly spoke, "The date for the uprising... is set. It's the fifth of this month."
Hai Jiao felt her heart skip a beat. "So soon, isn't it only a few days away?"
"Well, Bai Yu'an is ready." Yun Tiankuo nodded.
Hai Jiao said nothing, walked to the edge of the pond, and seemed to be looking at the little fish in it.
Yun Tiankuo stood beside her. Hai Jiao's reaction was a little beyond his expectations. After all, Hai Jiao had always wanted to avenge her daughter Ru Ru, so she had always hoped to act quickly.
But now, Yun Tiankuo always felt that she was hesitating.
Is it because of that dumpling?
Yun Tiankuo struggled for a moment, but still asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to... avenge Ru Ru?"
Hai Jiao turned to look at him, her eyes slightly red, "How is that possible? It's just..."
She didn't know what to say. These past few days, she had been thinking that of course she had to avenge Ruru, but was taking back Dongyi City the same as revenge for Ruru?
"Just what?" Yun Tiankuo couldn't help but get anxious. He didn't want to see Hai Jiao, who was the most determined, waver. He was afraid that he would also... not be able to hold on.
"Tian Kuo, putting aside Ru Ru's revenge, have you ever thought about..." Hai Jiao's eyes were filled with worry, "Even if I snatch Dongyi City back from Bai Yu'an, what will happen next? The Barbarian Emperor has already given it to Da Jin. Will he change his mind?"
"Of course, this is also his territory, and the people of Dongyi City are his subjects." Yun Tiankuo said without hesitation, "Don't worry, once the situation in Dongyi City stabilizes, I will personally go to the capital and ask the Barbarian Emperor to rescind his order to cede Dongyi City."
Hai Jiao looked at him distressedly, gently grasping his sleeve with one hand, unable to help but choke back a sob, "Do you think it's possible? Do you think... the Barbarian Emperor cares about Dongyi City?"
"Of course." Yun Tiankuo said impatiently, "Hai Jiao, who told you anything? That Qingyun? Or Bai Yu'an? Hai Jiao, you have to understand that you are a barbarian, and we must fight for our country."
"I just don't know..." Hai Jiao smiled bitterly and looked back into the pond. "To the Barbarian King, I'm just like the fish in this pond. No one cares if there's one more or one less. All I have to do is stay in the pond obediently."
She paused, then continued, "In fact, everything I thought I was doing was unnecessary for the owner of this pool."
"No, Haijiao, don't think like that. Trust me." Yun Tiankuo twisted Haijiao's shoulders and made her face him. "What we did was right. Let's take back Dongyi City and rebuild it together. This will be our home for the rest of our lives."
Hai Jiao looked at Yun Tiankuo's somewhat crazy expression, but she couldn't be like him. She couldn't help but asked with a sob, "But Tiankuo, what if... what if Bai Yu'an doesn't want to give up Dongyi City? We should..."
"No one can stop me!" Yun Tiankuo said in a deep voice, his eyes very determined. "Be it Wang Yuanshu, Bai Yu'an, or even Bai Yunfeng, I will fight to the death."
Hai Jiao lowered her head helplessly. She knew that Yun Tiankuo could not feel her struggle, and he was going to ignore all her worries.
At this point, they have no choice.
She had no choice but to follow him.
"Okay, I understand." Hai Jiao quickly adjusted her mood. "That day, I will always be with Li Suining. If...if necessary, I will...take her as a hostage. I believe that Bai Yu'an will not resist."
"Thank you for your hard work." Yun Tiankuo gently pulled the person into his arms and murmured softly, "Just bear with it a little longer, hold on a little longer. Soon, everything will be over, and we can be together openly and honestly."
Hai Jiao nodded gently in his arms, letting her tears soak Yun Tiankuo's clothes.
After they discussed some details, Yun Tiankuo prepared to leave.
"You..." Hai Jiao asked tentatively, "Aren't you going to say hello to Xiao Suining?"
I don’t know what will happen in the future. Maybe, when they meet again, they will really be enemies.
Yun Tiankuo stopped where he was, but he didn't even turn around to look at the yard. He quickly said in a cold voice, "Forget it, I still..."
"Uncle City Lord!" At this time, the little dumpling suddenly ran out of the house.
Yun Tiankuo abruptly retracted his steps and was still hesitating about something when the little girl had already run up to him.
"Uncle City Lord, have you finished your business with Aunt Haijiao?" The little guy stood next to him, tilted his head, and asked in a baby voice, his eyes curved and he looked very happy.
Yun Tiankuo hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Well, that's all. But, Xiao Suining, uncle has to go out and get busy. He doesn't have time to play with you."
"Oh, it's okay. I won't take up much of your time." The little guy took out his hands from behind his back, and there was a big chicken leg in his hand.
She held it up and said happily, "Uncle City Lord, this is for you to eat. Brother Qingyun worked so hard to get it. Come on, take it!"
Indeed, after the war broke out in Dongyi City, food shortages have become the norm. Not to mention a big chicken leg, even a piece of chicken is hard to come by.
Yun Tiankuo looked at the little girl's greasy hands, then looked at her very happy little face, frowned and said, "Xiao Suining, eat it yourself, uncle won't eat it."
"It's okay, this one is for the City Lord. I'll share the other one with Aunt Haijiao," the little dumpling extended his hand forward. "I'm still young and can't eat too much. Take it quickly."
She pouted a little distressedly, "When I saw uncle from a distance just now, I felt that he had lost a lot of weight. Uncle, please take care of your health."
Yun Tiankuo felt a little reluctant for a moment, gritted his teeth, took the chicken leg, and strode away.
