Chapter 258 We're on the same side!
After leaving the Ge family, Yun Zhao went to Yunlai Restaurant.
As soon as they arrived at the front door of the restaurant, the two Bai children turned around and ran away as if they had seen a ghost.
"Uncle Jiu! Uncle Jiu! Help!"
Yun Zhao: ...
She didn't do anything.
Upon entering the restaurant, Bai Jiu, supporting two children on either side, looked at her in surprise.
"Why is it you?"
"I told you, I want to help Xiaohua save her family!"
Yun Zhao straightened her small chest as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Are you serious? You're letting her come along? How old is she?"
Lie Xuan looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Lu Xun in disbelief as he spoke.
If he wasn't mistaken, Lu Xun wasn't someone they could really talk to.
So you're going to let him and a young girl take this little bundle of joy to Fengyun City?
Are you kidding me?
"I'm five years old this year! Oh, almost six!"
Yun Zhao calculated her birthday; there was still a month left until her sixth birthday.
Bai Jiu, Lie Xuanyi: ...
Even ten years old is not acceptable!
Bai Jiu lowered his voice and said, "Do you even realize that this isn't a joke?"
"I wasn't being silly!"
Yun Zhao stared at him innocently.
Bai Jiu was speechless at her bluntness.
"Uncle Bai, let me ask you this: when it comes to taming animals, who among you can compare to me?"
Bai Jiu shook his head hesitantly.
No, there isn't.
"So who do you think should go?"
Yun Zhao's counter-question left Bai Jiu speechless.
According to her, there really is no one more suitable than her.
But can such a young child be trusted?
"What happened to the children? They both ran away on their own, and you didn't even notice?"
Yun Zhao gestured with his lips, indicating that they should look at Bai Xuan and Bai Mei.
Lie Xuanyi immediately understood what she meant.
"You mean, children are better at deceiving the enemy, right?"
Yun Zhao then nodded.
"Don't underestimate children!"
Upon hearing her words, Bai Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, you're right, Uncle Jiu. Don't always look down on us kids. You were a kid too before you grew up!"
Bai Jiu: ……
He wanted to beat up his nephew!
Bai Xuan was overjoyed to see his Ninth Uncle suffer such a setback for the first time.
"You're amazing! You actually managed to leave my Uncle Nine speechless! You're practically my hero!"
Bai Jiu, unable to bear it any longer, put down Bai Mei and slapped Bai Xuan on the buttocks.
Bai Xuan let out a terrible scream.
"You brat!"
"Uncle Jiu, if you hit me again, I'll go back and tell my mother!"
Bai Jiu used deadly force, causing Bai Xuan to scream in pain.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in the restaurant right now, otherwise we would have disturbed others.
"Didn't I tell you not to underestimate me? If you're so capable, then don't call me 'mother'!"
"I'm telling you, if you go back home, your mother will beat you to death for running away from home!"
Bai Xuan's flame went out instantly.
"Waaaaah, Uncle Nine, have mercy! Don't let my mother beat me!"
Watching the uncle and nephew bickering, Lu Xun gained some understanding of the Bai family.
He whispered a reminder: "Zhaozhao, are we going to find Li Dali?"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
She originally planned to meet with Li Dali first, and then go find Bai Jiu and Lie Xuanyi.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the restaurant, they first encountered the two children from the Bai family.
"Do you know anyone else here?"
Lie Xuanyi was somewhat surprised.
They were exiled, yet they knew people?
"Of course, if I weren't worried about the danger to Xiaohua's family if things dragged on, I would also like to see my fellow disciples!"
Lie Xuanyi then realized that he had underestimated this young girl, and his tone became much more respectful.
"Fellow disciples? Which sect do you belong to?"
"My master is Pei Jishi from Medicine King Valley."
Yun Zhao proudly raised her little head.
Lie Xuan looked at the little dumpling in front of him with surprise.
How old did she say she was?
Almost six years old?
He must be the youngest disciple of Medicine King Valley, right?
"You, so you're going to Jishetang?"
You know?
"Of course, there is a Jishetang in Fengyun City."
Oh?
That's perfect, we have our own people here!
Upon learning that she was Pei Jishi's apprentice, Lie Xuanyi became much more respectful towards her.
Of course, no one wants to offend a doctor.
Moreover, it is the most powerful medical school in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Lie Xuanyi secretly lit three incense sticks for the Hu family.
The youngest member of the sect is always the most favored, and judging from Yun Zhao's appearance, he is clearly the most favored wherever he goes.
The fact that the Hu family has fallen out with her is probably a falling out with Medicine King Valley.
He couldn't wait to see the Hu family suffer!
Yun Zhao had no idea how happy Lie Xuanyi was; she went to the backyard to visit Li Dali first.
Li Dali was not surprised at all when he learned that she had decided to go to Fengyun City.
"Take it."
He took a wooden box from the side and pushed it in front of her.
"What's this?"
"Silver notes".
Li Dali's words were concise and to the point.
"Fengyun City has its own silver exchange, and there's an unwritten rule within Fengyun City..."
In Fengyun City, only banknotes from the Fengyun City Bank are accepted; banknotes from other places are not recognized.
Moreover, if used improperly, one could be killed and thrown out of the city.
Yun Zhao opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Isn't Fengyun City a bit too outrageous? Is there no law anymore?
Seeing her surprise, Li Dali explained, "This is the Hu family's way of eliminating dissidents."
Fengyun City is so big, you can't recognize everyone. If they're from out of town...
Furthermore, since I don't know anyone in Fengyun City, I'll most likely have to use banknotes from outside the city.
"The Hu family is certainly cautious."
Yun Zhao's face scrunched up as she clutched the silver note.
Seeing this, Li Dali sighed softly.
"The Li family's gambling den has business in Fengyun City. If anyone tries to investigate your identity..."
Just tell them you're one of my people, and they won't give you any trouble.
"Wow! Uncle Dali, you're truly my hero!"
Yun Zhao imitated Bai Xuan and gave Li Dali a thumbs up.
Li Dali wasn't buying it.
He tapped her little head, his tone filled with a doting affection he himself was unaware of.
"Isn't this what you were waiting for me to say?"
Li Dali initially did not want to offend the Hu family, as Yun Zhao was always uneasy about not having any of his own people in Fengyun City.
Xu Yinan will be visiting Li Dali soon. She came here specifically to seek refuge.
Li Dali is a cunning old fox; he knows exactly what she's thinking.
"Hehe, Uncle Dali, aren't you worried about me, a kid, following the Bai and Lie families into the city?"
"You trust me that much?"
"Of course! The Bai and Lie families are only temporarily allied, but Uncle Dali is my uncle! We're on the same side!"
Li Dali was clearly pleased with Yun Zhao's clear statement of boundaries.
He couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "You are my savior."
You have a stake in the Li family gambling den. If you need help when you arrive in Fengyun City...
"Go ahead and go find the people at the gambling den. Old Ji is my brother, he's trustworthy."
"If Uncle Dali says he's trustworthy, then he must be! Thank you, Uncle Dali!"
Yun Zhao smiled sweetly and stuffed a large number of silver notes into the small pocket in front of her chest.
"You little rascal!"
Li Dali smiled, took a sip of tea, and then asked someone to prepare some pastries for her before seeing her out.
"Li Dali?"
Lie Xuanyi was somewhat surprised to see him.
Why is he in this small town instead of at headquarters?
His gaze unconsciously fell on Yun Zhao.
Li Dali simply nodded slightly and did not say anything to Lie Xuanyi.
After all, it was usually the head of the Lie family who spoke to him; Lie Xuanyi could only be considered a junior.
Bai Jiu and Lie Xuanyi only realized what was happening when Li Dali personally escorted Yun Zhao to the carriage at the door.
Bai Jiu subconsciously said, "We've arranged a carriage."
Lie Xuanyi glared at him.
Is now the time to ask this?
