Chapter 336 His fear is no less than his son's
You Zhu left Zuo Shanzhang's yard and immediately headed straight for the secret room.
After entering the secret room, he just said "Hush" to the Fire Seal and immediately found a place to hide.
"Haven't you already recognized Huo Yan? Why are you still here?"
Huo Xi didn't quite understand. "It's very dangerous here. What are you doing? Who are you waiting for?"
He thought for a moment and became even more worried when he realized who You Zhu might be waiting for.
"What do you want to do?" Huo Xi couldn't help but get anxious. "I'm telling you, I won't go out with you. Hurry and leave!"
Seeing that You Zhu didn't listen to his advice at all, he could only pray secretly that the Fire Banquet would not come tonight.
But unexpectedly, in less than half an incense stick of time, footsteps were heard outside.
Huo Xi's face turned pale with fright, and he had no idea what to do.
Huo Yan was in a good mood. This time, he won again. Now, he not only controlled the life and death of Huo Xi, but also the life and death of Huo Linger. He was really happy.
The moment he entered the secret room, he was about to say something when he felt a dark shadow flash by.
However, before Huo Yan could react, You Zhu had already climbed onto his back, holding the dagger against his neck.
"You...you you..." This was the first time Huo Yan witnessed You Zhu's power.
In an instant, the fear from Huo Dai in childhood came back to my mind.
He felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have handed such a dangerous person over to anyone. He should have killed You Zhu with his own hands.
"Where is Huo Ling'er?" You Zhu asked coldly.
The incident happened so quickly that Huo Xi was completely stunned and even forgot to play dumb in front of Huo Yan.
When he heard You Zhu mention Huo Linger, he looked at Huo Yan in shock.
Huo Yan trembled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't kill Huo Ling'er. She is alive, she is still alive..."
At the moment, Huo Yan was only afraid of the madman behind him, and had long forgotten about his imprisoned elder brother.
"What do you mean?" Huo Xi rushed out, and the chain behind him was instantly straightened.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Huo Yan, what do you mean? What do you mean... you didn't kill Ling'er, she's still alive? What did you do to Ling'er?"
Huoyan did not answer.
You Zhu's dagger moved immediately, "Answer him."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Huo Yan was shaking with fear and stammered in response to Huo Xi's question, "I... I drugged Huo Ling'er. No, not me, it was Bai Zhi..."
He continued, "Bai Zhi colluded with Zuo Shanzhang of Dajin and drugged Ling'er. Ling'er is just unconscious now. She is in the Fire God Temple and she is fine."
Huo Yan said almost pleadingly, "Believe me, I don't want to harm Ling'er. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, she will wake up."
However, You Zhu had already known Huo Yan's thoughts from Bai Yu'an.
"Really?" He sneered, a sneer unbecoming of his age. "Aren't you planning on keeping her unconscious? Making her your second puppet?"
"Huo Yan!" Huo Xi went completely mad and struggled frantically, the chains clanking. "Huo Yan, you bastard! Didn't you promise me that you would treat Ling'er well? You lied to me!"
As a monarch, he may be cowardly, but when faced with the danger of his daughter, he can disregard everything.
"I will kill you, I will kill you!" However, he couldn't break free from the chains and was destined not to be able to hurt Huo Yan at all.
Huo Yan spoke tremblingly, "You Zhu, if you let me go, I will make you the crown prince, and these Northern Barbarians will be ours, okay?"
He kept offering conditions that he thought were very tempting.
"Besides, you hate doing good deeds, don't you? I can help you and kill him. As long as you let me go, I will promise you anything."
"Promise me anything?" You Zhu smiled cheerfully, "Sure, the key."
"Key?" Huo Yan's eyes flickered. "What...key?"
"Stop pretending!" You Zhu's dagger immediately saw blood.
Huo Yan screamed in fear, "I'm not kidding. I threw away the keys to these chains a long time ago. I didn't intend to let him go. Really, I don't have the keys."
"Really?" You Zhu's voice was cold. "Then it seems that I have to figure out a solution myself. What about you?"
"Since it's useless, I can only kill you." He said it lightly, and the dagger was about to stab into Huo Yan's neck in an instant.
"No, no, I'll give you the key!" Huo Yan knelt down in fear.
He was no less afraid of the little killer behind him than of his own son.
He knelt on the ground and crawled forward, "Key, I'll get the key for you."
You Zhu frowned and looked at him.
Soon, Huo Yan crawled under the table, then he reached out and took out the key that had been hidden under the table.
He handed the key to You Zhu behind him tremblingly.
"I'll give you the key, will you let me go?"
"What are you dreaming about?" Youzhu raised and lowered the dagger.
Huo Yan screamed like a pig being slaughtered again, and the wrist of the hand that he had just handed the key to was bleeding profusely.
He lay on the ground, howling in pain.
You Zhu jumped off his back, stood not far from him, and looked at him coldly.
"Stay still. If you try to run, I'll cut the remaining tendons in your limbs."
Huo Yan was sweating profusely from the pain and his body was shaking non-stop. He no longer had any thoughts of escaping.
You Zhu used the key to open the chains on Huo Xi's hands and feet.
At the moment when all four chains fell, Huo Xi still stood there, as if he was still tied there by something.
"You heard what Huo Yan said just now. If you still don't want to leave here, I can go and save Ling'er by myself."
You Zhu spoke with some disdain.
"Youzhu, thank you." Huoxi finally spoke.
He reached out and brushed away the hair stuck to his forehead, "Ling'er, I want to go with you to save them, but the way I look now..."
He didn't want to scare his daughter.
You Zhu knew that if he was willing to leave, everything else would be easy.
The dagger in his hand slapped against the other palm again and again.
"Before you leave this secret room, you have to do something."
"What?" Huo Xi looked over in confusion.
You Zhu curled his lips.
——
The next morning, little Tuanzi slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in his second brother's arms.
"Second brother," she rubbed her eyes and asked curiously, "Is Sixth brother back? What are we doing today?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head. "Your Sixth Brother hasn't finished his work yet, so he won't be back for the time being. As for us..."
He smiled and said, "Just wait patiently."
"Oh." The little dumpling nodded obediently.
At this time, Zuo Shanzhang's voice came from outside.
The little girl quickly huddled into her second brother's arms, covering her mouth tightly with her little hands, not daring to make a sound.
Zuo Shanzhang was just outside the door, and his words were clearly audible.
