Chapter 332 If You Keep Talking Nonsense, You Will Go to Jail with Them
Before leaving, Xiaotuanzi and Youzhu once again reminded Huo Linger and others not to eat or drink anything at the banquet.
Huo Linger said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already eaten my fill of the sugar buns Bai Zhi made just now."
She looked at the little dumpling and patted her belly.
"Me too, hehe..." Li Suining smiled embarrassedly.
Bai Zhi curled her lips in displeasure upon hearing this, "Is it really that serious? There will be so many people here soon, why would the Barbarian Emperor poison everyone?"
"It's always better to be careful." Bai Kou patted Bai Zhi's arm comfortingly.
Bai Zhi curled her lips and said nothing more.
Soon, the group entered the Fire Temple.
Huo Yan, Huo Lie and the twelve city lords were already waiting there.
Seeing Huo Linger, these city lords were obviously very excited and came forward one by one to talk to Huo Linger.
Afterwards, Huo Linger introduced You Zhu, and everyone immediately surrounded You Zhu and talked to him in a flurry, saying that he looked young and promising, and that his mother was a hero of the entire Northern Barbarians.
Huo Yan and Huo Lie watched from afar. The brother and sister not far away seemed to be so famous that they even overshadowed themselves.
Huo Lie curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Well, they... won't be so proud for long." Huo Yan said in a low voice.
At the same time, he asked everyone to take a seat and the banquet officially began.
Xiaotuanzi and the others have always been very cautious, shaking their heads and refusing anything they eat or drink.
Huo Yan noticed this situation and smiled without saying anything.
Huo Lie on the side was dissatisfied again, "What do they mean? Are they afraid that we will poison them?"
As he spoke, he looked at Huo Linger and the others from afar and began to eat the meat in front of him with big mouthfuls.
Huo Yan smiled and told his son to slow down. "Why rush? The entire Northern Barbarians are yours. No one dares to snatch it from you."
Huo Lie smiled happily.
However, halfway through the banquet, You Zhu first felt something was wrong.
He felt his eyelids were a little heavy, and his body seemed to have no strength.
When he was first captured by Huo Linger and others, he used some of Beiman's medicines and was particularly familiar with these feelings.
He quickly made a surprising judgment.
"Sister," You Zhu grabbed Xiaotuanzi's hand, "No, we... seem to be... poisoned."
As soon as You Zhu finished speaking, Huo Ling'er next to him was the first to fall down.
Next came Li Suining and Bai Kou.
You Zhu held on to his last bit of strength and saw Yun Tiankuo and several city lords had also fallen down.
He pointed at the Fire Feast and said the last words, "Despicable...despicable!"
After saying this, he fell down himself.
…
I don’t know how much time had passed, but when little Tuanzi woke up, he saw himself and Youzhu tied together, and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Sister, are you okay?" You Zhu asked with concern when he saw that she finally woke up.
Little Dumpling shook his head. "I'm fine, Sixth Brother, what's going on? We didn't eat or drink anything, so how could we be poisoned?"
You Zhu woke up much earlier than Xiao Tuanzi, and he thought about this problem seriously.
"It's possible," he said, giving the most likely reason, "that we weren't poisoned at the banquet, but... before the banquet."
"Before the banquet?" Little Dumpling immediately thought of something.
Before leaving Linlangxuan that day, Baizhi prepared food for everyone.
"Is it Sister Baizhi?" She found it incredible. "Could it be... is she still working for Uncle Huo Yan?"
You Zhu shook his head, "I don't know, but it's very likely."
But Li Suining felt that it was unlikely, because she had asked Xingxing before, and Bai Zhi and Uncle Huo Yan had no contact recently.
"How could that be?" Little Dumpling became more and more confused.
"By the way, where is Princess Sister? And Sister Bai Kou, where did they go?" She noticed that there were only the two of them in the room.
You Zhu shook his head again, "I don't know. We should be imprisoned separately."
"What should I do?" Little Tuanzi became increasingly anxious. "Uncle Huoyan won't hurt the princess, will he?"
Thinking of this, You Zhu was obviously worried, his face was very ugly, and he reminded Li Suining, "That despicable guy is not worthy of you calling him uncle."
Little Dumpling immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, a bad guy, he's just like the big bad guy, both are bad guys."
You Zhu sighed helplessly, "They increased the dosage of the medicine, so it's difficult for me to move for the time being. Sister, we can only wait."
"Sixth brother..." Little Dumpling's voice was filled with fear.
"Don't be afraid, Sixth Brother is here, no one can hurt you." You Zhu hurriedly comforted the little guy.
Little Dumpling sniffed, "Sixth Brother, did I do something wrong? If we leave earlier, will... everyone be safe?"
"No!" You Zhu's voice was firm, "As long as that beast Huo Yan is not eliminated, Ling'er will never be safe."
Little Tuanzi didn't say anything, but looked at You Zhu with shining eyes. She knew that her sixth brother was worried about the princess.
She was happy for her sister Princess.
"Sixth brother, we will definitely be able to return home safely!"
At this moment, she suddenly missed Bai Yunfeng, Wei Ranzhu and Jiang Yinyue very much.
These days, she has been so busy with her sister the princess that she has forgotten to check on the situation at home.
But she believed that with her father, eldest brother and third brother around, everything would be fine at home.
——
At the same time, in Zuo Shanzhang's room, Bai Zhi knelt on the ground with an excited look on her face.
"Master, didn't you promise me that you would protect the princess and not let Huo Yan hurt her?"
Zuo Shanzhang frowned in annoyance. He had never seen such a stupid woman.
Bai Zhi was a girl he had rescued in the Northern Barbarians before, and then carefully trained her and sent her to the palace.
Unexpectedly, this little girl was lucky enough to catch Huo Xi's eye and become Huo Ling'er's personal bodyguard.
In fact, before he came to the Northern Barbarian Palace, Bai Zhi had been in a dormant state, but unexpectedly, during this period, this girl actually developed feelings for Huo Xi and Huo Linger.
"Baizhi, don't forget who your master is!" Zuo Shanzhang said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Bai Zhi dare not forget. For all those years in the Northern Barbarian Palace, Bai Zhi dare not forget even for a moment, but..."
Bai Zhi was a little emotional. It was Zuo Shanzhang who saved her back then, but after entering the palace, Huo Xi, Bai Kou and Huo Ling'er all treated her like a relative.
Her only hope now is to protect Huo Linger.
"Master, please, please save Huo Ling'er's life. I can take her away, even away from the Northern Barbarians."
Bai Zhi cried and said, "Master, I only have this one wish, please!"
Zuo Shanzhang stood up and kicked her away.
"Bai Zhi, are you crazy? Huo Ling'er is in Huo Yan's hands now. How to deal with her is Huo Yan's business. As for me, I only want Xiaotuanzi and the Bai family. Others have nothing to do with me."
He grabbed Bai Zhi's neck and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, you'll go to jail with them!"
