Chapter 313 It is obvious that Princess Huo Linger hates you
Huo Linger had no choice but to agree with Huo Yan and take him to the inn where Bai Yu'an and the others were staying.
At the palace gate, she saw Huo Yan bringing the Fire Guards with him, and she felt a little scared for a moment.
The Fire Guards are the last line of defense for the imperial palace. In other words, they are the most powerful army in Huo Yan's hands.
"Uncle, you said... you wouldn't kill them..." Huo Linger said pleadingly.
"Don't worry, the Emperor's uncle won't kill them." Huo Yan assured in a deep voice, "We've brought the Fire Guards with us only because they're too dangerous. But as long as they don't resist, the Fire Guards won't do anything to them."
Huo Linger frowned and said nothing more.
They set off quickly and went to the inn where Bai Yu'an and his friends were staying.
Arriving at the inn entrance, Huo Yan confirmed with Huo Ling'er, "Is that it?"
"Yes." The little girl nodded. "Before, when Xiaotuanzi and I left the palace, we came here to see them."
At this moment, when she thought of that day again, it suddenly seemed so far away.
Huo Linger felt like it was all a dream, including the scene of them happily chatting with Aunt Huaer that day.
"Search!" Huo Yan ordered, "Except for Xiao Zhuzi, anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
"Uncle!" Huo Linger's face turned pale in an instant.
She trembled and grabbed Huo Yan's arm, "Uncle, didn't you say you wouldn't kill them?"
"Ling'er, why are you so stupid?" Huo Yan's expression was clearly a little impatient. "When they killed your aunt and your father, did you ever show any mercy?"
Huo Linger didn’t know, she only knew that these people were not bad people.
She continued to plead, "Uncle, didn't you say that if we captured them alive, we could force Bai Yunfeng to come over? Wouldn't it be useless if we killed them?"
Huo Yan sneered, "If Bai Yunfeng really cared about them, he would come even if they were corpses. If Bai Yunfeng didn't care, it wouldn't make any difference whether they were alive or dead."
"Uncle..." Huo Linger wanted to continue begging for mercy.
"Enough!" Huo Yan was completely furious and threw Huo Ling'er aside. "Ling'er, you let the wolf into the house and almost killed our Northern Barbarian Crown Prince. I can let these things go, but now, you are so soft-hearted towards the child of your father's murderer. I am so disappointed!"
He said coldly, "If you continue to bother with me, go back to the palace first."
Huo Linger was completely dumbfounded. She knew that she could not persuade the emperor's uncle. Could it be that... she was really going to kill the little dumpling?
Unable to accept this outcome, she pushed away Bai Kou who was supporting her, turned around and shouted towards the upstairs of the inn, "Run! Little Dumpling, run! Run!"
"You're absolutely crazy!" Huo Yan raised his arm and was about to slap Huo Ling'er.
Bai Kou and Bai Zhi immediately stood in front of their princess and stared at Huo Yan coldly.
Huo Yan was naturally no match for them, and he also understood that they were Huo Linger's loyal followers.
He snorted, withdrew his hand, and said coldly, "You guys take care of yourself!"
Huo Linger shouted for a long time, but no one escaped from upstairs.
Soon, the captain of the Fire Guard came back and said, "Your Majesty, the people have left."
"What?" Huo Yan was furious. He jumped off the carriage and grabbed the man by the collar. "What do you mean he's gone?"
The captain lowered his head, not daring to look Huo Yan in the eye. "The innkeeper said they checked out and left last night."
He was one step late again.
Huo Yan turned around and looked at Huo Linger in disbelief.
Huo Linger obviously didn't expect such a result. After hearing this, she fell down weakly and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Do we continue searching in the city?" the captain asked tentatively.
Huo Yan asked Huo Ling'er with a sullen face, "Do you know where else they will go?"
"I don't know." Huo Ling'er immediately shook her head. "Before, they had always stayed here, and I had only been here before."
Huo Yan frowned, "Ling'er, you'd better think about it carefully. They are the children of the enemy who killed your father. If you don't avenge this, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Huo Linger still shook her head, "It's really gone."
"Damn it!" Huo Yan thought for a moment and then ordered the Fire Guards to find the government officials. "Have them post a wanted notice and conduct a city-wide search."
He gritted his teeth and said, "As long as they haven't left the capital, I'll dig them out even if it means digging three feet deep!"
"Yes!" The captain of the Fire Guard immediately went to carry out the order.
——
At the same time, on a mountain east of the capital, where Huaer and the killer once lived.
Xiaotuanzi brought everyone here to settle down overnight.
Last night, on the way back, she asked Xingxing about what happened next, and then she saw Huo Linger and Huo Yan going to the inn to catch them, so they escaped overnight.
Although this place is not as good as an inn, it is where Huaer and the killer lived for a long time. They left in a hurry, and there is almost nothing missing here. Obviously, it is not a problem to stay here for a month or two.
Early in the morning, Xiaotuanzi went to the woodshed and couldn't help staring blankly at what was inside.
"What's wrong?" You Zhu knew that his sister was upset, so he took a few steps forward and talked to her.
The little dumpling sniffed and said, "Before, Princess Sister and I were locked in here."
You Zhu sighed, "Why are you still thinking about her? That heartless little thing, if she really took Huo Yan to the inn..."
"Sixth brother!" Little Dumpling couldn't help but speak up for Huo Ling'er, "We were the ones who lied to her first. We were wrong, so I think whatever she does now is excusable."
"You, you..." You Zhu couldn't help but shook his head, "Okay, let's not think about this anymore. Go eat something. You must be hungry after staying up so late last night."
Little Dumpling nodded and followed You Zhu back obediently.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside. You Zhu immediately signaled Xiaotuanzi to hide, and he went to the door to check the situation.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who was coming, and shouted to the people at the door, "It's City Lord Yun and the others who are back."
Before dawn, Yun Tiankuo and Hai Jiao went down the mountain. They wanted to go to the inn to check the situation and see what was happening down the mountain.
"How is it?" Bai Yu'an asked anxiously when he saw them, "Did Huo Yan and the others really go to the inn?"
Yun Tiankuo nodded, looking somewhat helpless, "And...the Fire Guards were dispatched."
Hai Jiao explained, "The Fire Guards are the Barbarian Emperor's most trusted army, and each of them is exceptionally skilled..."
She glanced at everyone, "It seems that the Barbarian King wants your lives."
"Look, this is Huo Ling'er's fault!" You Zhu said indignantly, "Huo Ling'er really can't tell good from evil. This is too much."
"Obviously, this time, Princess Ling'er... really hates you." Yun Tiankuo shook his head helplessly.
