Chapter 276 Let Go or I’ll Take You Away
"Actually, the only possibility..." Bai Yu'an thought about it and told the truth, "It's Zuo Shanzhang."
Qingyun nodded. "Indeed, Xiao Suining has only been here for a short time. Who could she have such a deep hatred for? The only one who wants to kill her is Zuo Shanzhang."
"But..." Bai Kou felt a little skeptical. "Wasn't Wang Yuanshu executed long ago? Who would pass the message to Zuo Shanzhang?"
This is also what Bai Yu'an doesn't understand, but apart from Zuo Shanzhang, he really can't think of anyone else.
"That is to say..." Qingyun tentatively stated everyone's common guess, "Aside from Wang Yuanshu, are there other spies around us?"
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other.
Bai Yu'an spoke first, "There are only two of us, there can't be any spies."
The two of them looked at Bai Kou again.
"I..." Bai Kou felt like she had no way of defending herself. "On my side, there's only me, the princess, Xiao Suining, and Youzhu. We can't be spies. Bai Zhi...that's impossible too. Could she be the coachman?"
She also thought it was impossible.
"Anyway, be careful next time." Bai Yu'an reminded Bai Kou, "You've been out for a while, go back quickly and don't let them get suspicious."
"Okay, I will observe them carefully later." Bai Kou nodded at the two of them and left quickly.
When she went upstairs, she saw Bai Zhi looking at her in confusion.
"Sister, where have you been?" Bai Zhi stood up, her eyes full of inquiry.
Bai Kou thought for a moment and didn't lie, "I saw that Tuanzi's brother and the man in green who just attacked with us live downstairs."
Bai Zhi widened her eyes slightly.
"I thought about saying thank you. What happened during the day?" Bai Kou said with a worried look on her face. "If those assassins hurt the princess, we would be sentenced to death."
Bai Zhi frowned reluctantly, "But it's obvious that the killers were coming for that Tuan Tuan, and they were also trying to save that Tuan Tuan."
"That's true." Bai Kou nodded and motioned Bai Zhi to sit down with her.
The two sisters sat together by the door.
Bai Kou thought of Qingyun and Bai Yu'an's speculations just now. She naturally didn't think Bai Zhi would be an official of the Dajin Dynasty, but she still planned to make a symbolic test.
"But who do you think wanted to kill that dumpling?"
Bai Zhi shook her head in confusion, then quickly said seriously, "But those killers look very professional. They don't look like they are something that ordinary people can afford to hire."
She lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think that dumpling has a prominent background?"
Li Suining naturally came from a prominent background, but now in the hearts of Huo Linger and Bai Zhi, she was just an ordinary northern barbarian.
"It's possible." Bai Kou nodded.
She observed Bai Zhi's expression and reaction just now, and really felt that this matter had nothing to do with Bai Zhi.
"Anyway, we should all be careful from now on. That Tuanzi..." Bai Kou said earnestly, "It's obvious that the princess likes her very much. If she really dies in front of the princess, I'm afraid..."
Bai Zhi nodded in agreement, "Even if she dies, let her die far away."
"Well, I think that little girl is very cute and always makes the princess so happy. You should stop being so critical of her."
Bai Kou patted Bai Zhi's shoulder and said, "You sleep for a while, I'll watch you, and then you can take my place later."
"Okay!" Bai Zhi quickly closed her eyes.
Bai Kou played with her hair thoughtfully, secretly wondering who hated Xiaotuanzi so much.
Over the next few days, the group traveled smoothly. The killers suddenly appeared and then disappeared completely, as if they had never been there.
Seeing that there was only one day left to travel to the capital, everyone was in a good mood.
Their final destination was a small town close to the capital, bustling with people coming and going.
Huo Linger actually didn’t want to go back to the palace. After she went back, she definitely wouldn’t be able to go out casually.
So, taking advantage of this last chance, she dragged everyone to stroll around the town market, hoping to buy some more small things to take back.
"Bai Kou, I want this hat, this one, that one, and that one."
Whenever she passes by a stall, Huo Linger will buy a lot of things.
Soon, in addition to her and Li Suining, Bai Kou, Bai Zhi and You Zou all had their arms full of things.
"Miss, this is enough." Bai Zhi couldn't help but complain, "If this goes on, I won't be able to see the road anymore."
"How can that be enough? These won't even fill up my room." Huo Linger said with a smirk.
She took the little girl's hand and ran forward a few steps. "Look, these little puppets are so cute. I want to buy them all."
"Buy them all?" Li Suining's eyes widened in shock.
She turned around and looked at the three people who were slowly approaching with some sympathy, "Miss, if you buy everything, they might not be able to take it all. You and I... we can't take much either."
"Take as much as you can." Huo Linger took it from Li Suining's arms without caring about anything.
Li Suining had no choice but to clasp her hands together tightly and put a small bag in front of her body, watching Huo Linger pick up five or six pieces of food.
She was a little bit unable to lift it, "No, no, miss, I can't lift it anymore."
"Idiot!" Huo Ling'er naturally didn't want to tire herself out, so she picked up a small rattle and ended it, "Okay, okay, that's all."
"Oh," she saw another interesting performance ahead, "Let's go and take a look."
She pulled Li Suining forward and reminded the people behind her, "Bai Zhi, Bai Kou, pay."
Bai Zhi and Bai Kou had no hands to take the silver at this time. They had no choice but to put the things down before taking out the silver.
"I'll follow them first." You Zhu walked quickly forward to chase after them.
The performance not far away was very exciting, and there were a lot of people watching. Huo Linger held Li Suining tightly and tried her best to squeeze into the crowd.
"Slow down, slow down!" Little Dumpling still had something in her arms, and she felt vaguely unsafe, as if there was always a pair of eyes staring at her.
She whispered, "Miss, let's not look at this, okay? Where are Sister Bai Kou and Sister Bai Zhi?"
She wanted to go back and find someone.
"No, I want to see." Huo Linger continued to find a gap to squeeze in. "Don't worry about them. They will catch up after they pay the silver."
The two of them wedged in the crowd for a while, and suddenly, Li Suining felt someone grabbing her collar.
"Who?" She couldn't walk anymore and felt a little breathless.
Huo Linger couldn't pull the person away, so she immediately turned around and saw a man with a gloomy face holding Li Suining.
She was terrified, but she didn't dare let go of Li Suining. She grabbed Li Suining's arm tightly and threatened him incoherently, "Let her go. My maids are very powerful. They will be here soon."
"Let go, you little bitch!" The man's voice was hoarse and terrifying, "Or I'll take you away too!"
