Chapter 269 Let Little Dumpling Follow City Lord Yun Back
"Sixth brother!" Little Tuanzi anxiously shook You Zhu's arm, "Princess sister is really not a bad person!"
"Sister!" You Zhu said earnestly, "Aren't all the people in this world good people like you? Look at my face. That unruly princess hit me, and she hit me so hard."
Little Dumpling blinked her big eyes in pain, but she still felt that the young lady was not a bad person.
She thought about it and couldn't help but defend herself, "I didn't know there were bad people, and the worst people are in the Northern Barbarians' palace."
"The Northern Barbarian Palace?" You Zhu couldn't help but frown. "Who?"
"That big bad guy Zuo Shanzhang!" Little Dumpling became furious at the mention of this person. "All the bad things Wang Yuanshu did were his idea. He wanted to kill us."
You Zhu's expression instantly turned cold, "It turned out to be him. He's still in Beiman?"
The little dumpling nodded.
"Very good! Then he will never go back!" You Zhu's eyes flashed with coldness.
If he had been reluctant to go to the Northern Barbarian Palace before, he had to go now to clear Baiyunfeng's name and get rid of the damn traitor Zuo Shanzhang.

In the evening, Yun Tiankuo and Haijiao unexpectedly came to the burning house.
Huo Linger was very happy and immediately invited the person to the front hall.
"The Lord of Dongyi City, Yun Tiankuo..." As soon as Yun Tiankuo came in, he immediately led Hai Jiao to kneel down.
"City Lord Yun, please get up!" Huo Ling'er trotted forward to stop Yun Tiankuo and Hai Jiao. "City Lord Yun is a meritorious official of our Northern Barbarians. There's no need for such a grand ceremony..."
She smiled and looked at Hai Jiao beside her, "Is this... the wife of City Lord Yun?"
Yun Tiankuo nodded, "Exactly. Her name is Hai Jiao. We were able to start this uprising thanks to her helping me gather a lot of people in the suburbs."
"Miss Hai Jiao is a heroine!" Huo Ling'er couldn't help but praise her. "Hurry up and take a seat, Bai Kou, Bai Zhi, bring up the fruits and snacks."
"Princess Ling'er, you're welcome. We came here after having a celebration banquet at the City Lord's Mansion," Yun Tiankuo explained immediately. "However, given the current situation in Dongyi City, the celebration banquet is rather simple, so we didn't invite Your Highness the Princess."
"It's okay." Huo Ling'er took a step back and clasped her fists like a little heroine. "I once again thank City Lord Yun and Miss Hai Jiao on behalf of everyone in the royal family. When I return to the capital, I'll tell the emperor's uncle to reward you handsomely."
"Princess, you are too polite. It was originally my responsibility to garrison Dongyi City. Before, it was my fault... that I failed to defend the city. Now that we can take back Dongyi City... it is also my duty." Yun Tiankuo said modestly.
"City Lord Yun is such a good city lord!" Huo Linger couldn't help but praise.
Yun Tiankuo glanced at the package on the ground and asked tentatively, "Princess Ling'er, are you planning to leave?"
"Well, we'll leave tomorrow." Huo Linger didn't want to hide it.
Hai Jiao became anxious in an instant and secretly tugged at the corner of Yun Tiankuo's clothes.
Yun Tiankuo continued in a deep voice, "It will take at least ten days to return to the capital from Dongyi City. Princess, please be careful on the way."
"Don't worry, City Lord Yun. With Bai Kou and Bai Zhi here, no one can hurt me. Besides, I'm the Princess of the Northern Barbarians. Who dares to hurt me?"
Huo Ling'er noticed Hai Jiao's little movement and asked curiously, "City Lord Yun came here suddenly, is there something wrong?"
"Actually... it's not a big deal," Yun Tiankuo knelt down again, "Your Highness, I know that Dumpling must have angered Your Highness, so Your Highness asked Miss Bai Kou to capture her."
Huo Linger frowned, "City Lord Yun wants that dumpling back?"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Yun Tiankuo naturally did not dare to ruin Li Suining and the others' plan, but he wanted to thank the child in person.
He glanced at Hai Jiao beside him, then said with some sadness, "To be honest, Your Highness, Jiao Jiao and I lost a daughter not long ago. The child was about the same age as you and Tuanzi."
"Is it because of the war between the two countries?" Huo Linger clenched her fists, looking angry.
"Yes." Yun Tiankuo sighed deeply, "But now I don't want to blame anyone. I just want to... thank that child. These days, she has been living in the City Lord's Mansion. Jiaojiao and I... really treat her as our own daughter."
He looked at Huo Ling'er pleadingly, "Princess, we don't expect you to let her go. Just let us see her, talk to her, and then take her away, okay?"
"Of course." Huo Linger agreed without hesitation, and even couldn't help but say, "Actually, that dumpling is of no use to me. If you really..."
"Princess!" Bai Kou interrupted Huo Ling'er immediately. She shook her head gently and said, "Don't let that ball go so easily."
Huo Linger looked at Bai Kou with some confusion. She always felt that Bai Kou hated that Tuanzi more than she did.
She shook her head helplessly, looked at Yun Tiankuo and Hai Jiao and said, "Okay, you wait here, I'll bring her over."
"Thank you, Princess!" Yun Tiankuo and Hai Jiao thanked Huo Linger together.
Huo Linger immediately went to the next room and saw Xiao Zhuzi and the little dumpling sitting far away, ignoring each other.
"Miss!" Little Dumpling's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he immediately ran up to her happily, "Are you here to play with me?"
"Someone wants to see you." Huo Linger said straight to the point, "She's next door. Bai Kou, take her there."
"Yes, Miss!" Bai Kou immediately came over to lead Li Suining, and did not forget to warn her, "I'm afraid to tell you, don't play tricks, don't try to run away, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
After watching them leave, Huo Linger sat down at the table and said to herself, "It was Bai Kou who insisted on capturing her, but she provoked me, so I really shouldn't let her go so easily."
Between her words, she was obviously explaining to You Zhu that she didn't have to cling to that dumpling.
You Zhu snorted, lay down on the ground, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
"You rude fellow!" Huo Ling'er stood up angrily. "Besides, are you a homeless person? Why are you sleeping on the ground?"
"So noisy!" You Zhu changed his posture and became more and more unwilling to pay attention to Huo Linger.
"You annoying bastard!" Huo Ling'er stormed out. After she stepped outside, she slammed the door shut and mouthed something to the person inside, "How could such an impolite and bad guy be my cousin? Humph! You annoying bastard, I'm never going to talk to you again!"
She turned around and left, becoming even more unhappy.
She didn't go back to the front hall, but when she passed by, she secretly took a look inside and saw Hai Jiao holding the ball and wiping her tears, looking reluctant to part with it.
"Miss?" Bai Kou called her tentatively from the side.
Huo Linger immediately withdrew her gaze, thought for a moment, and said irritably, "Forget it, let's just let that little guy go back with City Lord Yun and the others!"
