Chapter 291 How can Huo Linger protect herself?
Inside the government office, the killer man took Sakurako and quietly climbed over the high wall. The dagger in his hand gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
There was no sound in the yard.
Yingzi couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "It's so quiet, why is it so quiet? Are you sure they are in there?"
"There is no reason for the people in the government office to lie to me." The man was confident and walked quickly into the house.
Sakurako followed behind, feeling very uneasy.
After pushing open the door, there was still no sound from inside. Sakurako became even more suspicious and followed the man cautiously.
The man held a dagger with a fierce look on his face. He walked into the inner room, swung the dagger and stabbed at the bed.
After one cut, he knew something was wrong. He pulled back the quilt and saw that there was no princess inside, just two pillows.
"What's going on?" Yingzi was very nervous. "Are they setting a trap to catch you?"
"Impossible." The man couldn't believe it, but the killer's natural sensitivity to danger made him make a quick decision. "No matter what, let's get out of here first."
He strode out and Sakurako followed quickly behind him.
However, when they returned to the yard again, countless officers and soldiers jumped out from all directions.
"Damn it!" the man cursed, immediately swung the dagger in his hand and fought outside.
Sakurako was just an ordinary woman. Tonight she was worried that the man would kill the princess and take the bounty away, so she insisted on following him. She didn't expect it to be a trap.
At this time, the man had no time to care about her, and she couldn't rush out at all.
Soon, she fell in a pool of blood.
The man jumped onto the wall, looked back at the woman in the pool of blood, and then his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
He ran desperately in the dark night, vowing to take revenge. He wanted to take revenge on Hua'er, Huo Ling'er, and he would not let go of that corrupt official in the government office.
He and Sakurako had originally stayed in an inn, so he could only go back now and continue looking for someone tomorrow.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the government office, the killer ran away and the official came out from the dark.
"Sir, the man ran away and a woman died." A soldier reported.
The officer frowned and checked with the soldiers, "Did you see anything he was holding in his hand just now?"
"Only a dagger." The leading soldier answered, and the others immediately nodded.
The officials were increasingly puzzled. Didn't the killer kill Huo Ling'er? What was going on?
He strode into the house and looked around, but he did not find the bodies of the two children, not even any blood... Did the two children run away?
He immediately came out to confirm with the soldiers, but the soldiers did not see the two children escape.
"Damn it, it's really damnable!" The official was so angry. Huo Linger ran away and the matter was exposed. He might not live long. His only hope was to kill them before Huo Linger returned to the palace.
He ordered his soldiers in a cold voice, "Listen carefully! From today on, send more people out to look for Huo Ling'er. If they find her, kill her without mercy. Also, send people to follow the princess's confidants. If they find her, kill them all. Don't leave any alive."
"Yes!" The soldiers received the order and quickly separated and acted.
——
Xiao Suining, Huo Linger and the others checked into the inn. The three of them shared a room and slept on one bed.
They were obviously very tired and sleepy, but no one wanted to sleep.
"Aunt?" Little Dumpling couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you leave?"
Hua'er wrinkled her nose out of habit before slowly speaking, "I don't know. When you guys followed that soldier back, I felt something was wrong. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I didn't leave anyway."
Huo Linger asked curiously again, "How long are you going to stay? If we don't come out, will you keep waiting?"
Hua'er snorted, "Does your Aunt Hua look so stupid? Didn't you say that someone in the city was looking for you? I thought those officers and soldiers would find your friends right away, so I wanted to wait until I saw them before leaving, but I didn't expect..."
She was still a little surprised. "Are the people in the government office really bad guys? Then the person who wants to kill the princess must also be a high-ranking official?"
Huo Linger didn't say anything, and Xiaotuanzi was also silent.
Obviously, this is the truth that everyone is most reluctant to accept. If the person who wants to kill Huo Linger really holds an important position, how can she protect herself?
"Anyway, when we return to the palace, my uncle will make the decision for me." After a long time, Huo Linger said with certainty.
"Yes, it's okay, don't worry, go to sleep first." Huaer said softly, patting the two little guys' bodies gently.
In her memory, her mother took pictures of her like this when she was a child.
But later, when she got into trouble, her mother was beaten to death by the villagers in order to protect her.
Thinking of this, Huaer closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The next morning, when Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger woke up, Huaer was no longer in bed.
"Aunt?" The little boy was sitting there, rubbing his eyes with his little fists, looking for someone in a baby voice.
Huo Linger also got up. Looking at the cute appearance of the little dumpling, she couldn't help but touch the little dumpling's little head.
The little dumpling was in a daze, looking at Huo Linger with his big eyes blankly.
Huo Linger suddenly frowned, "Little Dumpling, why do your eyes... seem to have turned black?"
"How is that possible?" Little Dumpling jumped up from the bed in fear, "Princess sister, I have to go to the toilet, it's urgent."
She got out of bed and ran out without even putting on her shoes. She had to find a place where no one was around to put the drops of medicine in her eyes, otherwise Huo Linger would become suspicious of her.
"Slow down!" Huo Linger shook her head helplessly.
Little Dumpling walked out of the room barefoot and saw Aunt Huaer coming back.
"Aunt, where have you been?" Little Dumpling lowered her head, not daring to let Huaer see her eyes.
"I went to buy breakfast." Huaer said with a smile. Then she noticed that the little guy was not wearing shoes. Her face was full of concern. "Why did you run out barefoot? Wait, auntie will get you shoes."
"Okay!" Little Dumpling waited obediently outside the door.
Soon, they had breakfast and went to find their second brother, and they would be reunited soon.
Huaer came back with the shoes and helped Xiaotuanzi put them on before patting her calf. "Okay, do you want your aunt to accompany you to the toilet?"
"No need, I can go by myself." Li Suining walked down the stairs with small steps.
Huaer smiled and turned back to the house.
After both of them left, the door next to their room slowly opened, revealing the killer man's ferocious face.
He didn't expect to meet them here. God was really kind to him.
