Chapter 316 I Know Where They Are Hiding
"She won't leave!" Huo Linger suddenly spoke, her tone very firm.
"How did the princess know?" Bai Zhi looked curious. "But after such a large-scale search, there's still no news. Could it be that they just disappeared out of thin air?"
In fact, Huo Linger had thought about this. She knew there was a place that was very suitable for Xiaotuanzi and the others to hide. And most importantly, very few people knew about this place.
Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her chin proudly, "I know where they will hide."
"Really?" Bai Kou and Bai Zhi were shocked at the same time.
The little princess nodded affirmatively. Suddenly, an idea struck her. "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to verify it, okay?"
She said smugly, "Let me tell you, this place is only known to me and Little Dumpling."
After all, as far as she knew, the killer and Sakurako were both dead, and Huaer had left the capital, so she and Xiaotuanzi were the only ones in the entire capital who knew about the small courtyard on the mountain.
Therefore, she firmly believed that Xiaotuanzi and the others must be on the mountain.
Bai Kou knew that Huo Linger would not talk nonsense. Now it seemed that Huo Linger might really know where Xiaotuanzi and the others were hiding.
Although, she wanted to contact them quickly, she didn't want to risk exposing them.
"Princess, there are quite a few spies near Linlangxuan right now. If we go there rashly...it could be very dangerous if they are really there."
Huo Linger's expression immediately fell.
"It's okay." Bai Zhi, who was standing next to her, immediately pushed Bai Kou. "My sister and I will go with the princess. Who can follow us?"
Huo Ling'er's eyes immediately lit up again, "Yes, if the two of you come with me, will it be okay?"
"Well..." Bai Kou was still worried. She couldn't help but suggest, "Actually, Princess, you can tell me the place and I'll go take a look first. That's the safest way."
"Sister!" Bai Zhi was obviously unwilling.
Huo Ling'er also pouted in frustration, "But I can't tell you where that place is, I only remember the way."
"Look, let's go together with the princess." Bai Zhi was eager to try, "How about it, princess?"
"Okay!" Huo Ling'er agreed immediately, "Then go get ready, we'll set off quickly."
"Princess..." Bai Kou was still a little hesitant.
"Sister, let's go." Bai Zhi dragged the person away.
As they left the front hall, Bai Kou shook off Bai Zhi's hand, "Bai Zhi, what's wrong with you today? Don't you always dislike Li Suining and the others and don't want the princess to associate with them?"
"I do hate them, but..." Bai Zhi sighed, "Have you seen the princess smile these days?"
Bai Kou stopped talking. Indeed, Huo Linger had been in a bad mood ever since Xiaotuanzi and Xiaozhuzi left.
"I really don't like them, but the princess obviously does. Besides," Bai Zhi emphasized, "we're just going to accompany the princess to take a look. We'll just look in the dark and come back after we're done. As long as we can make the princess feel better, that's enough."
"Okay." Bai Kou nodded. She also understood that perhaps it would be enough for Huo Linger to just see that Xiaotuanzi and the others were safe.
She couldn't help but remind Bai Zhi, "But remember, you must be careful on the road and you must not let anyone follow you."
"Don't worry, I understand." Bai Zhi's expression also became a little serious.
The master and his two servants quickly packed up and sneaked out of the palace. Along the way, they did encounter people following them, but with Bai Zhi and Bai Kou around, they quickly shook them off.
Huo Linger brought them to the foot of the mountain based on her memory.
"There's a small courtyard on this mountain. That's where the killers who kidnapped us lived. It's very secluded. They should be hiding there."
Bai Kou and Bai Zhi looked at the direction of the mountain. It was indeed very hidden. If Huo Linger hadn't said that there were people living on the mountain, they would never have guessed it.
"Are we still going up?" Bai Zhi suddenly asked.
"Of course." Huo Ling'er looked at her in confusion. "If we don't go up and take a look, how can we know if this princess's guess is right?"
"Yes, let's go." Bai Zhi curled her lips.
The three of them started climbing the mountain again.
The way up the mountain was not smooth, and Huo Linger was carried down by Aunt Huaer at that time, so they went to several wrong places along the way. It was not until noon that they finally saw the yard.
At this time, Bai Zhi and Bai Kou were already a little out of breath, and Huo Linger was carried by them for almost the second half of the journey.
"This place is really suitable for Tibetans." Bai Zhi couldn't help but say.
Bai Kou nodded, and signaled Bai Zhi to keep quiet, and they slowly moved closer.
They were at the back of the courtyard, sneaking a little closer.
Huo Linger saw the little ball sitting on the stone at a glance. At this moment, the little ball seemed to be secretly wiping away tears.
The three of them squatted not far from the little dumpling and looked at the little dumpling quietly.
Little Dumpling was indeed wiping her tears. Her eyes were red and it seemed like she had been crying for quite a while.
Huo Linger felt distressed and looked towards the house. She couldn't help wondering why no one came to comfort the little girl.
Fortunately, Bai Yu'an came out soon.
He actually watched his sister in the room for a while and knew that she was sad. He wanted to leave her alone for a while, but after watching for a long time, he saw that his sister was still wiping her tears.
He felt really distressed, so he came out and sat quietly beside the little dumpling.
Li Suining quickly wiped the tears from her face and looked at Bai Yu'an with some guilt, "I'm sorry, second brother, I can't control myself..."
She pouted sadly and pointed at her heart with her little finger, "This place is not obedient at all. I always think of...Princess Sister."
Last night, she asked Xingxing how Princess Sister was doing, but she couldn't stand it when she saw Princess Sister crying alone.
Not far away, Huo Linger vaguely heard what Xiaotuanzi said, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"It's okay." Bai Yu'an gently touched the little girl's head. "Just think about it. You don't need to control it. But you can't be sad anymore."
The little girl's eyes were swollen.
Bai Yu'an couldn't help but scare her, "If you cry your eyes out, you'll never see Princess Sister again."
The little girl was obviously a little scared and tried her best to hold back her tears.
"Sister, you must believe in your second brother. He will definitely let you see Huo Linger again, okay?" Bai Yu'an promised with a serious expression.
The little dumpling nodded and said, "I believe in my second brother."
"good!"
At this time, You Zhu also came out, but just as he was about to say something, he suddenly looked away and asked with a vigilant look, "Who? Who's hiding there?"
In a flash, he took out a dagger and killed him.
"Little Bamboo!" A familiar voice sounded, and two figures blocked You Zhu's attack.
Little Dumpling stood up and looked at Huo Ling'er from a distance.
