Chapter 309: Bai Yu'an and others died in the Northern Barbarians
"Who's there?" the locked man suddenly spoke.
You Zhu was startled. Instead of answering the man's question, he walked in slowly.
The entire secret room is not big, but it is more than enough to imprison one person.
You Zhu even saw a set of tables and chairs next to him, with wine glasses on the table. He could almost imagine Huo Yan sitting here drinking alone.
He became more and more curious about the identity of this crazy man who could allow the fire banquet to be so elegant.
"Child?" The crazy man's tone was full of surprise. He obviously didn't expect a child to appear here.
"Where are you from, kid? How did you find your way here?" His questions came one after another.
You Zhu still didn't answer, but chose to sit at the table and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you imprisoned here?"
The crazy man was obviously stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "You're quite an interesting kid. You didn't answer any of my questions. What makes you think I will answer yours?"
You Zhu looked unconcerned.
"Are you... Huo Lie's friend?" the crazy man asked again, obviously very curious about You Zhu's identity.
You Zhu thought about it and felt that this man might be very familiar with the situation in the palace and knew that a boy of his age should not appear in the palace.
"I guess so." He said vaguely, "What about you? What... is your grudge against Huo Yan?"
The crazy man was obviously shocked again. His entire face was almost covered by his dirty and tangled hair, but at this moment, he obviously wanted to take a good look at You Zhu through the gaps in his hair.
Unfortunately, his limbs were tied with chains and he seemed to have no strength at all. He was unable to move the hair that blocked his eyes, nor could he see more clearly.
However, he still vaguely saw something, "You are wearing a black veil?"
You Zhu remained silent.
"You are not Huo Lie's friend." The crazy man quickly concluded, and he even went on to say, "You are not a barbarian."
This time, it was You Zhu's turn to be surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"
The crazy man chuckled, "No barbarian would dare to call the Barbarian Emperor 'Fire Banquet' directly."
You Zhu nodded in understanding.
“No matter who you are, no matter how you found this place,” the mad man seemed to close his eyes, “leave now and don’t come here again.”
You Zhu seemed not to hear his warning, and suddenly said, "But you also called him by his name."
This time it was the mad man's turn to remain silent.
You Zhu knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, but strangely, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this crazy man from the moment he saw him.
"I'm leaving." He finally said calmly, "I'll come back later."
"Don't come again!" the crazy man said coldly.
You Zhu walked to the door of the secret room and looked back at him, "Don't you want me to rescue you?"
The crazy man seemed to struggle for a moment, but quickly refused, "No need."
You Zhu said nothing more and left quickly.
——
The next day, the first thing Xiaotuanzi did after getting up was to find Youzhu.
"Sixth brother, did you go to the secret room last night?" Her big eyes were full of curiosity.
You Zhu nodded and said, "I went."
"How was it?" Little Dumpling asked curiously, "Did you see that crazy man? Did he say anything?"
"Yeah." You Zhu nodded thoughtfully.
"Sixth brother!" Little Tuanzi was so anxious, "Then tell me about it!"
You Zhu finally came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiaotuanzi's anxious look.
"Nothing was said, but one thing is certain, that man... is not crazy, and he is a member of the palace."
"Not a madman?" Little Tuanzi was slightly surprised. Every time she saw the man meeting Huo Yan from Xingxing, she thought the man was a madman. How could Sixth Brother say that he was not a madman?
She subconsciously said, "Is he pretending? Pretending for Uncle Barbarian Emperor to see?"
You Zhu nodded, he felt the same way.
"Then...did he say who he was?" Li Suining was very curious about the man's identity.
You Zhu shook his head. "Besides, he doesn't seem to want to be rescued."
"Why?" Little Dumpling was even more confused. "How could it be?"
You Zhu shook his head again, "I don't know. Let's take Bai Kou to identify him when we have a chance."
"Okay." Xiaotuanzi thought it was okay. Since the other party was from the palace, Bai Kou might know him.
However, no suitable opportunity was found in the next few days.
That night, little Dumpling went out to look at the stars as usual, but what the stars told her made her face change color in shock.
It turns out that the next day, Huo Yan will tell Huo Linger her true identity.
Li Suining looked at the stars and reviewed almost everything that happened after Huo Linger knew the news. She didn't expect that because of this incident, the fate of several of them was changed.
Xingxing said that Huo Linger was very angry, or more sad, after she knew Xiaotuanzi's true identity.
She directly drove Xiaotuanzi and Youzhu away, and Xiaotuanzi didn't even have the chance to tell her Youzhu's true identity.
What’s even more terrifying is that Xiaotuanzi and Youzhu didn’t even leave the palace. They were assassinated right after leaving Linlangxuan.
The other party was obviously well prepared, and in the end You Zhu... died tragically, and Xiao Tuanzi was also shot to death in order to block more arrows for You Zhu.
But the story doesn't end here. When they died, Huo Linger knew nothing.
Even after they left Linlangxuan, Huo Linger sent people to chase them, but they failed to catch them.
Afterwards, Bai Kou got the news from Bai Yu'an outside the palace. Huo Linger thought they had really left, but Bai Yu'an said they had never gone out.
Afterwards, Bai Yu'an brought people into the palace to look for someone. Right in front of Huo Ling'er, tragedy happened again, and Bai Yu'an and others died in the Northern Barbarians.
In the end, Huo Linger was greatly traumatized by these things and was locked up in Linlangxuan by Huo Yan. She even had some mental problems.
Little Dumpling found all this so terrifying. Even though Xingxing didn't tell her what happened next, she could almost guess that there would probably be another big battle between the Northern Barbarians and the Great Jin.
Daddy will avenge them, and by then the casualties will be countless.
Li Suining was really scared. She couldn't let this happen, so she couldn't hesitate or wait any longer.
She decided to tell Huo Linger everything tonight.
She mustered up the courage to go back into the house, and saw Huo Linger calling her with fruit in her hand.
"Going to see the stars again?" Huo Ling'er seemed to be in a good mood. "Come here quickly. Xiao Zhuzi and I saved these fruits for you. Come and eat them quickly, or they will become stale in a while."
