Chapter 299 He Must Not Let Her Return to Dajin
"Where is the boy?" Huo Yan asked again with great interest. It was obvious that he knew Li Suining's identity, which brought him great benefits.
Zuo Shanzhang shook his head. "To be honest, that boy was wearing a black veil, and I really couldn't tell who he was at first."
He did not reveal You Zhu's identity. He needed to confirm what kind of relationship You Zhu had with the Northern Barbarian royal family.
Before that, he was punished by the Jin Emperor to be under house arrest. Later, when he learned that Huo Yan had successfully usurped power, he launched a border war between the Northern Barbarians and the Jin Dynasty.
Zuo Shanzhang originally planned to use this battle to get rid of Bai Yunfeng and then return to Dajin as a meritorious official, but he did not expect that Bai Yunfeng would win.
Such a terrible plague... I can only say that Bai Yunfeng and the Bai family army are too lucky and their luck has not yet run out.
Later, Wang Yuanshu wrote several letters, and his words even hinted that all this might be related to Li Suining. This kid is so lucky and can always find the key problems.
Zuo Shanzhang was furious.
He originally planned to sneak back to Dajin immediately, but he did not expect to receive another letter from Wang Yuanshu, saying that Li Suining had actually come to Beiman.
Of course he would not leave. He wanted Wang Yuanshu to find a way to get rid of Li Suining and Bai Yu'an. This would be a fatal blow to Bai Yunfeng.
But he never expected that Wang Yuanshu would die in the end.
It was not until the moment before, when Zuo Shanzhang saw Li Suining and Huo Linger appear hand in hand, that he had to admit that his daughter who was left behind seemed to be more terrifying than the two sons at home.
Even if this child always relies on luck, this luck is too powerful. He must not let her return to Dajin and hinder his last game of chess there.
This time, he went into battle personally, and he didn't believe that he couldn't kill Li Suining.
"Is he really just an ordinary child without an identity?" Huo Yan muttered to himself in confusion.
"That shouldn't be the case." Zuo Shanzhang dismissed Huo Yan's idea. "Besides, if it was an ordinary child, could it be disfigured? Otherwise, why would he be wearing a veil?"
Huo Yan thought it made sense, "It doesn't matter. I'll let Huo Lie find a chance to investigate whether it's because of the disfigurement."
"That's fine. It's hard work for Your Highness the Crown Prince." Zuo Shanzhang remained respectful and humble throughout.
Huo Yan was very satisfied and asked someone to invite Zuo Shanzhang to go down and have a rest.
And he himself had to meet a very important person.

On the other side, Xiaotuanzi and others returned to Linlangxuan, and Huo Linger had even more fun.
The little princess pulled Bai Kou and Bai Zhi, jumping and dancing, and finally became carefree again.
You Zhu approached Xiao Tuanzi and asked her what she had just seen.
"The big bad guy is in the palace. He must have told our uncle the Barbarian Emperor about our identities."
Little Dumpling was a little unhappy. She was not sure what the Barbarian King would do next.
You Zhu also frowned and subconsciously glanced at Huo Ling'er who was very happy not far away. "Doesn't that mean Huo Ling'er will find out soon too?"
The little girl nodded, thinking that she wouldn't be able to hide it for much longer.
She suddenly felt a little scared and grabbed You Zhu's arm, "Sixth brother, do you think the princess would be very sad if she knew we had lied to her for so long?"
"Shouldn't we first worry about whether she will chop off our heads?" You Zhu couldn't help but ask back.
The little dumpling's snow-white face immediately turned even paler. He lowered his head and said sullenly, "I don't know either."
"Silly sister!" You Zhu firmly held the little girl's hand back, "Don't worry, with Sixth Brother here, no one can hurt you."
He asked curiously, "What else did you see? Is there anything special?"
The little dumpling nodded. "There's something very strange. The Barbarian Emperor went to see a man, a man who...seemed crazy."
"A crazy man?" This was obviously a bit strange.
"Well, this man's clothes are tattered, as if he's been tortured. His clothes are no longer the original color, and his hair is a mess. I can't see his appearance..."
Li Suining thought about it carefully before saying with certainty, "It seems he was imprisoned by Uncle Barbarian Emperor."
You Zhu couldn't help but frown even deeper. "Who would be worthy of being imprisoned by a monarch? I bet he's someone extraordinary."
"What are you talking about?" Huo Linger ran back without knowing when.
She wanted to play until she was tired, her face flushed, "What imprisonment?"
Xiaotuanzi and Youzhu were not good at lying, and they were both stunned for a moment.
"Oh, I see." Huo Ling'er narrowed her eyes. "Is Xiao Zhuzi saying something bad about me? About me imprisoning him?"
Li Suining and You Zhu looked at each other and curled their lips awkwardly.
Huo Ling'er plopped down between the two of them and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, I wasn't familiar with Xiao Zhuzi at that time, and he was so dangerous, how could I not be on guard?"
She seemed to have just remembered Xiao Zhuzi's actions in the Bai family army, and her expression became more defensive. "Xiao Zhuzi, you are not still harboring any evil intentions, planning to do anything bad in our Northern Barbarians' palace, are you?"
"I'm not that despicable." You Zhu said disdainfully.
"That's right. If you really dare to do something, I will definitely not be soft-hearted." Huo Ling'er patted the whip at her waist, "I am not a vegetarian."
Baizhi and Baikou watched from the side and shook their heads.
With Huo Linger's mediocre kung fu skills, she couldn't even withstand a single move from Xiao Zhuzi.
Bai Zhi confirmed with Bai Kou anxiously, "Hey, you haven't stopped taking that kid's medicine, right? Otherwise, he would be a real dangerous person."
"Don't worry." Bai Kou naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
After Huo Linger was finally tired of playing, she gave rooms to Xiaotuanzi and Youzhu.
After she found a room for Youzhu, she was not satisfied with Xiaotuanzi's room.
Either it was too small, too big, or too far from her main hall...
Bai Kou quickly understood her master's intention and said tentatively, "How about...Princess, please bear with it for a moment and share a room with little Tuanzi for now?"
Huo Linger didn't say anything, but glanced at Li Suining. Seeing that the little girl seemed very happy, she proudly let go.
"That's fine, but I don't want to sleep with her all the time." The little princess said with disgust, "You don't know how restless this girl is when she sleeps. Sometimes she kicks me awake in the middle of the night."
Several people nearby couldn't help but laugh.
Huo Linger finally gave an order, "You must quickly find a suitable house and get her out."
"Yes, Princess!" Bai Zhi and Bai Kou looked at each other, obviously understanding what Huo Ling'er meant. It seemed that Huo Ling'er really liked this sister she picked up halfway.
At night, Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger lay in bed together.
The little dumpling couldn't help rolling back and forth, and said with a smile, "Princess sister's bed is so big and so comfortable."
Huo Linger curled her lips proudly, "It's just so-so!"
