Chapter 327 Do You Think the Fire Banquet Is Appropriate?
The next morning, Huo Linger led everyone out of the palace and went to the mountain to meet Bai Yu'an and others.
Baizhi also went along.
When they arrived at the place, everyone was actually a little surprised to see Bai Zhi.
Bai Kou quickly explained, "Don't worry, Bai Zhi has already admitted her mistake to the princess, and she won't tell the Barbarian Emperor again."
"Yes, I can testify that Sister Baizhi really didn't do that. We are safe living in the palace."
Little Tuanzi immediately raised his hands high and spoke for Baizhi.
Bai Zhi, however, didn't appreciate it. She looked at Bai Yu'an and the others coldly, "Just because I'm willing to come here doesn't mean I accept you. I just want to protect the princess."
She looked determined, "If one day, you hurt the princess, my sword will still pierce you without hesitation."
"Keep this to yourself." You Zhu and Bai Zhi looked down on each other.
He snorted, "If one day you hurt Huo Ling'er, remember where to stab your sword, and don't let us do it."
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at You Zhu, then turned to look at Huo Ling'er, "Princess, please go in. I'll be guarding here for you."
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work." Huo Linger quickly pulled You Zhu in.
After everyone chatted for a while, Xiaotuanzi, Youzhu, Bai Yu'an and Yun Tiankuo went to the backyard together.
Bai Yu'an and others already knew that the imprisoned crazy man was Huo Xi.
As soon as he left Huo Ling'er's sight, Yun Tiankuo immediately asked anxiously, "Is Lord Barbarian King really crazy?"
"Lord Barbarian Emperor?" You Zhu frowned. "Are you referring to the Fire Seal? Or the Fire Banquet?"
Yun Tiankuo affirmed, "Of course it is Lord Huo Xi. If he is still alive, he is of course the only Lord Barbarian Emperor."
You Zhu understood, "He's not crazy, he's just pretending."
"Uncle Huoxi pretended to be crazy in order to protect the princess." Little Dumpling immediately explained in a baby voice.
After hearing this, You Zhu snorted in disdain, "Obviously he's just a waste."
"Sixth brother, don't say that." Little Dumpling reluctantly tugged at the corner of You Zhu's clothes.
You Zhu stopped scolding Huo Xi.
At this time, Yun Tiankuo spoke again, his voice clearly filled with indignation, "We barbarians care most about blood ties and family ties. I never thought that Huo Yan would do something so against the laws of nature and human ethics."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. "How dare he imprison his own brother? How despicable!"
"However, fortunately, he still remembers the duties of a barbarian," Yun Tiankuo looked at Bai Yu'an, "At least, he still doesn't dare to kill the Barbarian King."
Bai Yu'an shook his head, but he didn't think so.
"Huo Yan didn't kill him, perhaps not because he didn't dare, but because he felt it was unnecessary. After all, imprisoning Huo Xi has achieved the effect he wanted."
"Moreover, using Huo Ling'er's safety to torture Huo Xi is probably more painful for Huo Xi than letting him die."
Yun Tiankuo was silent for a long moment before he nodded. "Second Master Bai, perhaps you are right. If he really didn't dare to kill Lord Barbarian Emperor, Lord Barbarian Emperor wouldn't be so afraid that he would kill Princess Ling'er."
"How despicable." He gnashed his teeth in hatred. "One day, his head will be hung on the gate of the capital, a warning to all barbarians."
At this time, You Zhu slowly said, "No matter what the Fire Banquet is like, I think this Fire Seal is really too cowardly and not suitable to be the Barbarian Emperor."
"You think the Fire Seal is not suitable?" Bai Yu'an couldn't help but ask coldly, "Do you think the Fire Banquet is suitable?"
You Zhu opened his mouth, obviously not what he meant.
Yun Tiankuo snorted from the side, "This fire banquet is even more inappropriate. He's only been on the throne for a few days, and he's already made life miserable for the people along the northern barbarian border, even ceding two cities."
"This person is completely selfish and only cares about his own enjoyment. He doesn't care about the entire Northern Barbarians at all."
Bai Yu'an nodded in agreement. He looked at You Zhu and said, "Sixth Brother, perhaps you are right. Huo Xi has a weak character, but he cares about the people."
He sighed softly and expressed his opinion, "He has great love in his heart. Such a person is actually the best monarch in peacetime."
"Indeed, when the Barbarian Emperor was in power, he signed a peace treaty with the Great Jin," Yun Tiankuo couldn't help but agree. "Those were the days when our Northern Barbarians were developing at their fastest pace, and the people were the most prosperous."
"But..." Little Dumpling tilted his head in confusion, "How can we help Uncle Huoxi? I want him to be reunited with the princess. The princess will definitely be very happy."
"Don't worry, now that we've discovered this, we'll definitely help them."
Bai Yu'an touched the little guy's head lovingly.
He turned to Yun Tiankuo and asked, "City Lord Yun, let me ask you, if the ministers of the Northern Barbarians knew that Huo Xi was still alive, would they support him? Or would they continue to support Huo Yan?"
"I definitely support Lord Huoxi." Yun Tiankuo said affirmatively.
He thought about it carefully. "We in the Northern Barbarians have twelve cities and twelve city lords. I think... at least half of them will support Lord Huo Xi. As for the others..."
Yun Tiankuo wasn't sure. "Back then, Huo Yan dared to make such a scene, which means he had the support of many city lords. Otherwise, he would never have had the courage."
Bai Yu'an couldn't understand, "But you also said that when Huo Xi was in power, the development of Beiman was very good, so... why did the other city lords betray Huo Xi?"
“Alas!” Yun Tiankuo sighed deeply. “Actually, there is one thing. Back then, the Fire Seal made many city lords dissatisfied.”
"What's the matter?" The three siblings looked over curiously.
"Regarding offspring and heirs," Yun Tiankuo explained in detail, "As you can see, even the royal family of the Northern Barbarians has few offspring. Therefore, the Barbarian Emperor only has one daughter, and Huo Yan only has one son."
"Back then, after the Barbarian Emperor ascended the throne, many city lords petitioned him to remarry and produce an heir. However, the Barbarian Emperor refused. He deeply loved his former queen and considered his only daughter the apple of his eye. Therefore, he would never accept the proposal of remarrying."
Bai Yuan nodded in understanding.
Yun Tiankuo continued, "So, the Barbarian Emperor... has no heir."
"In other words, as long as Huo Yan lives longer than Huo Xi, he will have a chance to get it naturally."
After hearing this, You Zhu despised Huo Yan even more, "But this shameless guy can't wait."
Yun Tiankuo nodded and said, "Yes, it's too shameless."
"But..." At this time, Xiaotuanzi went over and pulled Yun Tiankuo's clothes.
"Uncle City Lord, why do you say Uncle Huo Xi has no heir? He has a princess sister?"
"Silly girl!" Yun Tiankuo smiled and pulled the little girl into his arms. "The heir can only be a boy!"
