Chapter 257: Let Sixth Brother and Sister Ling'er Recognize Each Other
Qingyun was instantly angry. "What do you mean? I just said that I felt something was wrong with you recently. You have been trying to stop us from finding this place, right?"
The thought of wasting so many days made him even angrier. "We treat you as one of our own. What on earth do you want to do?"
"Brother Qingyun, don't be angry with Aunt Haijiao. Listen to what she says." Little Tuanzi rarely saw Qingyun angry. The last time he got angry, he was angry because he misunderstood that his second brother was using her to test medicine.
Qingyun didn't want to scare the little one, so he said helplessly, "Okay, let her explain."
"Brother Qingyun, Xiao Suining," Hai Jiao felt that there was no need to hide it any longer. "I won't hide it from you..."
She looked back at the tall plaque and said, "Do you know where this burning house is? Do you know who the little girl we met was?"
"Where?" Qingyun frowned.
The little dumpling thought for a moment, "This burning house looks huge, and... the bad guy was beaten like that just now, there must be an important person living in it."
Qingyun laughed. He was so angry that he didn't use his brain at all. When he heard what Xiaotuanzi said, he couldn't help but praise him, "Xiao Suining is really smart!"
"Hehe..." The little dumpling smiled and showed his snow-white teeth.
"Huo is the surname of the Northern Barbarian royal family." Hai Jiao said slowly.
"Royal family?" Qingyun was obviously surprised. Although Feiyunmen also had an intelligence point in Beiman, he had never come into contact with it before he came here, so he knew almost nothing about the Beiman royal family.
The little girl tilted her head, "Could it be... that young lady is the princess of the Northern Barbarians?"
This time, Hai Jiao couldn't help but praise her, "You guessed right, her name is Huo Ling'er, and she is the only little princess of the Northern Barbarian royal family."
"Then isn't she Sixth Brother's relative?" Li Suining became excited instantly.
"Relatives? Your sixth brother?" This time it was Hai Jiao's turn to be confused.
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Yes, my sixth brother, his name is Youzhu. Daddy and my second brother said that he is a child of the Northern Barbarian royal family."
"Youzhu?" Haijiao had never heard of this name. "Are you sure?"
Qingyun continued to explain, "That should be correct. I heard about this matter... I heard that Youzhu's mother was a princess of the Northern Barbarians, and his father was a deputy general of the Bai family army."
"Princess?" Hai Jiao's eyes suddenly widened. "Is it Princess Huo Dai?"
Qingyun and Li Suining both shook their heads. They didn't know what Youzhu's mother's name was, but judging by Haijiao's reaction...
Little Dumpling asked curiously, "Aunt Haijiao, is this Princess Huo Dai...very powerful?"
"She's a hero of our country." Hai Jiao's expression was a bit more respectful. "Back then, the entire Northern Barbarians knew about her deeds of sneaking into the enemy camp and setting it on fire. It's a pity..."
She glanced at Qingyun and Xiaotuanzi's faces, paused, and then continued, "It's a pity... she was killed by Baiyunfeng."
"No." Little Dumpling quickly shook his head, "My father didn't kill her."
Hai Jiao was very sure, "How could she not have been killed? All the people of the Northern Barbarians know that Princess Huo Dai sacrificed her life for her country. After burning the Bai family's army, she was brutally murdered by Bai Yunfeng."
"No, that's not the case." Little Tuanzi was so anxious that she was about to cry. "Daddy said that Sixth Brother's mother did burn down the Bai family army's camp and killed many people, but she escaped overnight. Sixth Brother's father felt that it was all his responsibility, so he went to find Sixth Brother's mother and left Sixth Brother with Daddy."
She was afraid that Hai Jiao wouldn't believe her, "Aunt, what I said is true. Daddy wouldn't lie to me."
"But..." Hai Jiao hesitated, "Princess Huo Dai did disappear and never appeared again."
"Is it possible...that she died after leaving the Bai Family Army camp? Killed by her husband?" Qingyun naturally believed Bai Yunfeng's statement. "After all, Bai Yunfeng received a heavy punishment after this incident. If he had truly been able to kill your princess, he wouldn't have been without status in the court for so many years, even unable to hold his head up."
Hai Jiao was silent. She knew that Qingyun and Li Suining would not lie to her, but... if what they said was true, then... was Huo Dai really killed by her husband?
She couldn't help but ask the little girl, "Is your sixth brother really Princess Huo Dai's son?"
The little dumpling nodded, "It should be, unless there are other princesses in the Northern Barbarian Royal Family."
Hai Jiao shook her head. "No more. The royal family of the Northern Barbarians is different from your Great Jin. We pursue monogamy. Therefore, even among the royal family, there are very few descendants. Huo Dai is the only princess of the previous generation of the royal family."
"That's right." Li Suining was faintly excited. "Sixth brother, I told you about Princess Huo Ling'er. They are cousins and relatives. Sister Huo Ling'er shouldn't hurt you, Sixth brother."
She climbed up with her butt sticking out, "I'm going to tell them so they can recognize each other quickly."
"No!" Hai Jiao quickly pulled the man back and slowly shook her head, "They can't recognize each other. Even if what you said is true, your Sixth Brother's identity cannot be exposed."
"Why?" Little Tuanzi was very puzzled. Shouldn't relatives recognize each other? Besides, there are so few brothers and sisters in their royal family. Doesn't Huo Linger want a little brother?
Hai Jiao sighed, "Because... the person Princess Huo Ling'er hates the most is... your father, Bai Yunfeng!"
She looked helpless, "This is why I have never wanted you to meet."
The little girl felt a little sad for a moment and couldn't help pouting.
Hai Jiao pulled the little girl to sit down again. "Huo Ling'er's princess, the previous Barbarian Emperor... is said to have died at the hands of Bai Yunfeng."
"How could this happen?" Li Suining burst into tears. If this was the case, then Sixth Brother and Sister Huo Linger... not only could they not recognize each other, but they were also enemies?
At this time, Qingyun, who had been deep in thought, spoke up, "Why does it seem like our General Bai is really a true killing god among you Northern Barbarians?"
But he felt something was wrong. "But have you ever thought about how many years have passed since the war between the Northern Barbarians and the Great Jin? Haven't we been living in peace for so many years? And when did the last emperor of the Northern Barbarians die?"
Hai Jiao answered truthfully, "About a year ago."
Qingyun was so angry that he laughed, "So, it was our General Bai who secretly sneaked in from Dajin, sneaked into your palace, and killed your Barbarian Emperor?"
Hai Jiao was stunned by the rebuke, then shook her head. "Of course, a commoner like me doesn't know the specifics of what happened, but when the whole country was mourning, the news received by Dongyi City was indeed... that the Barbarian Emperor died at the hands of Baiyun Peak."
"It must be a misunderstanding!" Little Tuanzi was a little angry. "We have to resolve this misunderstanding and let Sixth Brother and Sister Ling'er recognize each other!"
