Chapter 320 So You Were Bribed by the Barbarian King
Bai Kou immediately pulled Bai Zhi to get busy preparing some snacks that Xiaotuanzi would like to eat.
Baizhi was reluctant and was ready to go out after being busy for a while.
"Baizhi, where are you going?" Bai Kou couldn't help but call her and walked up to her, holding her arm.
"I'll go out for a walk," Bai Zhi snorted in dissatisfaction, "Anyway, I don't want the princess to meet that little dumpling, and I don't want to make any snacks for them."
She pulled her arm back forcefully, made a face at Bai Kou and left.
Bai Kou shook her head helplessly and went back to prepare snacks.
Shortly after noon, Huo Linger couldn't wait to pull them out.
This time, she was extra careful on the road and asked them every once in a while if they were being followed.
"Princess, don't worry." Bai Kou couldn't help laughing at the little princess's cautious look. "No one is following us. Bai Zhi and I are paying attention to the movements around us."
She nudged Baizhi next to her with her arm.
Bai Zhi nodded immediately, "Yes, Princess, don't worry, it's safe."
"That's good." Huo Ling'er felt a little relieved, but she still reminded them, "You must be careful. We must not let them be exposed again."
Bai Kou nodded.
Soon, they successfully climbed the mountain and found the yard, but they did not see Xiaotuanzi and others.
"What's going on?" Bai Zhi frowned in dissatisfaction, "Where is that stinky girl? Is she playing tricks on us?"
Huo Linger couldn't help but speak for the little girl, "No, maybe we were too anxious and came too early. Let's wait a while."
"Yes, wait a while, they will definitely come." Bai Kou nodded and glanced at Bai Zhi opposite.
The master, his servant and the other two found a place to sit in the house, quietly waiting for Xiaotuanzi and the others.
At the same time, outside the yard, a circle of Fire Guards had already ambushed in the woods.
They also received the news that Xiaotuanzi had an appointment with Huo Linger to meet here at 3:00 PM today.
In fact, they had arrived a long time ago, but they did not find Xiaotuanzi and others, so they could only ambush around and wait for Xiaotuanzi and others to appear.
The two team leaders couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
"Could the information be wrong?" Last time, they were deceived and didn't see anyone when they went up the mountain.
"It shouldn't be." Another said affirmatively, "After all, the princess is already here, so the news should be correct."
He whispered to reassure the others, "Don't worry, everyone. Stay hidden. The enemy may appear at any time."
Everyone immediately became alert, lying in the grass, staring intently at the direction of the yard.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance came over. Everyone felt that the smell was somewhat familiar, and could not help but take a few deep breaths, trying to identify it. However, after realizing what it was, their bodies tilted and they fainted.
Soon, Bai Yu'an and others appeared from a more peripheral direction.
Yun Tiankuo and his men were covering their mouths and noses with scarves and checking the Fire Guards one by one.
Only after they confirmed that these people were knocked unconscious did they wave in Bai Yu'an's direction.
Bai Yu'an immediately led his men forward. He and Qingyun each carried an unconscious member of the Fire Guard and walked towards the courtyard.
The rest of the Fire Guard were carried down the mountain by Yun Tiankuo's men.
After all, Yun Tiankuo is a citizen of the Northern Barbarians. Even if he wants to help Li Suining and the others, he doesn't want to harm the lives of the Fire Guards.
In the Northern Barbarians, there has always been an unwritten rule that killing members of the Fire Guard is equivalent to treason.
Little Tuanzi was held by Haijiao and walked at the end of the team. They all went to the yard together.
Inside the house, Huo Ling'er was the first to hear the noise outside, her eyes lit up, "Are they coming?"
She immediately ran out impatiently, but saw two people thrown in the yard, both of whom were members of the Fire Guard.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Huo Ling'er's mind, and she said with some self-blame, "Are we being followed again?"
"No." Bai Kou said affirmatively.
She looked at Bai Zhi who was standing beside her.
Bai Yu'an continued, "These people have been lying in ambush around here, obviously waiting for us to show up."
"How is this possible?" Huo Linger's mind was a little confused. She couldn't figure it out for a moment, but she knew something was wrong.
"You leaked our information." Bai Yu'an's voice was firm. His eyes swept over the people in front of him and finally stopped at Bai Zhi.
"Impossible." Huo Linger subconsciously denied it.
She looked at the little dumpling helplessly, "I can't possibly betray you. I didn't."
No one expected that at this moment, Bai Zhi suddenly went crazy. She drew her sword and blocked Huo Ling'er. "You crazy people, you even dare to touch the people of the Fire Guard. You are the enemies of us Northern Barbarians!"
She turned her head to look at Huo Ling'er and Bai Kou, "Sister, take the princess away immediately, I'll hold them back!"
"I won't leave." Although Huo Linger was young, she understood that if she left now, it would be equivalent to indirectly admitting the matter.
She wouldn't admit to something she didn't do, "I'll say it again, these people have nothing to do with me!"
"Princess, stop talking nonsense with them!" Bai Zhi's voice turned colder. "These people clearly tricked us into coming here. They have bad intentions. It's too dangerous here. Bai Kou, take the princess away!"
Bai Kou stood there without moving.
"Sister, don't you understand?" Bai Zhi turned around and shouted excitedly, "They moved the Fire Guards, which is tantamount to rebellion. They are our enemies!"
"No." Huo Ling'er shook her head. "It was... the Fire Guards who wanted to kill them. They were just protecting themselves. They did nothing wrong."
"Princess, what are you talking about?" Bai Zhi looked incredulous. "This is the Northern Barbarians. The Barbarian Emperor is the heaven, and the Fire Guards represent the Barbarian Emperor..."
Her voice trembled slightly. "Princess, are you going to go against the Barbarian Emperor for these liars?"
"So, you were bribed by the Barbarian King?" Bai Kou finally spoke, but his voice was filled with endless disappointment.
Everything that happened today was planned by her and Bai Yu'an long ago.
She made it clear in her letter to Bai Yu'an that she wanted to test Bai Zhi, so she told Bai Zhi the news of their meeting and gave Bai Zhi the opportunity to go out and deliver the message.
Sure enough, their guess was correct, Bai Zhi was the traitor among them.
Bai Zhi was clearly aware of the situation. She didn't deny it, but instead said confidently, "So what? The Northern Barbarians' kingdom originally belonged to the Barbarian Emperor. Every citizen of the Northern Barbarians belongs to the Barbarian Emperor."
She lowered her head and looked at Huo Ling'er, "Even though I obeyed the orders of the Barbarian Emperor, I never hurt the princess. Everything I did was for the princess."
"Princess, please come back to the palace with me!" Bai Zhi extended her hand to Huo Linger.
