Chapter 215 Why are their faces so red?
"Is it King Kong?"
Bai Li opened her mouth wide and pointed at the Big Mac behind her father and asked Black Hawk.
If it weren't for that familiar look and Black Hawk following beside him, Bai Li would never have thought of King Kong.
“Roar!”
When King Kong saw that his owner didn't recognize him, he became anxious and walked towards her with a wronged look on his face like a child, asking for a hug.
"Wait, you're so big now, do you want to crush your master to death?"
Black Hawk quickly stopped it. The mutated King Kong was extremely irritable, but fortunately it still listened to Black Hawk.
It stopped and looked at Bai Li helplessly and aggrievedly.
"Dad, tell me what's going on."
Seeing that Black Hawk couldn't explain the whole story, Bai Li had no choice but to ask her father.
"We met Zhao Yuntian in the mountains. He ordered these ape soldiers to attack us. After King Kong was slapped by the ape leader, he..."
That’s all Bai Zongren knew. As for why King Kong became like this, he didn’t know.
Bai Li circled around King Kong, trying to see something from it.
After King Kong mutated, it felt its body was stretched, swollen, uncomfortable, and not used to it.
Just now, he was trying to save face in front of the ape soldiers and couldn't show it. But now, in front of his master, it was like seeing his mother, and he regained his childish nature. His pair of golden eyes looked at Bai Li pitifully and helplessly.
Bai Li held her forehead with her hand. She didn’t know what was going on.
It was originally developed by a witch doctor. God knows what kind of powerful medicine he fed Golden Retriever to create such an extraordinary creature like King Kong.
"General Bai, what are these ape soldiers planning?"
Nangong Min looked at Bai Zongren. He had already regained his status as a general, and later he would have to change his address to call him Lord Hou.
"Let's take them back to the barracks first and assign someone to guard them. The fighting power of these ape soldiers is no less than that of our soldiers."
Nangong Min understood this very well. If it weren't for the "peanuts" treasure given by Bai Li, they would have been entangled by the ape soldiers.
"Take King Kong with you, without him we can't subdue them."
As soon as Bai Li finished speaking, King Kong immediately stomped on the ground and started to make a scene.
It doesn't want to leave its owner!
"Black Hawk, tell it that once it has trained these ape soldiers, it can come back to me."
Although Bai Li understood what King Kong meant, he found it difficult to comprehend what she said, so he had to let Black Hawk communicate with him.
Black Hawk whispered in its ear for a while, and King Kong nodded reluctantly in agreement.
It looked at Bai Li with tearful eyes, like a child who couldn't leave its mother.
"Go with them, complete your mission and come back."
Bai Li comforted it softly, coaxing it like a child.
Bai Zongren handed over the ape soldiers to Nangong Min as he had some personal matters to attend to and could not return to the barracks.
Nangong Min naturally did not say anything. The emperor had instructed in the secret letter that Bai Zongren should arrange his time freely, provide him with people and weapons when he asked for them, and that the entire Qianxi military camp should cooperate with him unconditionally.
"Huh? No, why are you two so blushing?"
Bai Zongze looked like he had discovered a new world. He looked at this and that, his face full of gossip.
"It's so hot and stuffy in the woods!"
Bai Li made up an excuse and glared at Nangong Min in annoyance. This guy didn't leave yet, he deserved to be laughed at.
Nangong Min touched his nose, and finally reluctantly parted with Bai Li and the others, leaving with King Kong and the ape soldiers.
Bai Licai told Bai Zongren that the witch doctor had kidnapped two children.
The three Bai Zongrui brothers breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that they had arrived home safely.
"This witch doctor is so despicable. He actually used two children as bargaining chips."
"Li'er, the witch doctor knows about your weapon and will definitely be determined to get it. If he joins the enemy, your situation will be dangerous!"
What Bai Zongren had worried about before finally came true. It was not a good thing for his daughter to have too many treasures.
Any powerful person would want something powerful.
If they can't get it, they destroy it. This is their usual practice.
"There's no point in being afraid now, let's just take it one step at a time!"
If it were before, Bai Li would definitely say that she was not afraid of them targeting her, but now that the enemy would threaten her family, she had to make other plans.
"Dad, I've implicated my family!"
Bai Li thought about how scared the two children were. Fortunately, they were not hurt, otherwise she didn't know how to face her uncle and aunt.
"Li'er, don't say such things. We are all family, sharing weal and woe. There is no such thing as being implicated or not."
Bai Zongrui and Bai Zongze said at the same time that as they were from military families, they had been mentally prepared for this.
It was common for men to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and for their families to be threatened and harmed by spies, but Bai Li had never seen it.
Several people walked home while talking. Bai Zongren originally wanted to go to the mountains to continue looking for the new discovery, but King Kong was not there, so it was useless for him to go, so he had to go home first.
"Dad, the imperial edict will come down in a few days. Do you want to go to the capital to receive the reward and express your gratitude?"
Bai Li has now retreated to the second line, and the main credit has been given to her father. It’s useless for her to go alone, her father, the protagonist, must be present, right?
"I told the Emperor that the reward will be delayed. I have to hurry and find the treasure."
"Yeah, then I don't have to go to the capital."
Bai Li still likes the free and unrestrained days here.
She has no worries about food and clothing now, and it doesn't matter if the rewards come later, she can't escape anyway.
Bai Zongze looked at his niece with amusement, "Are you so afraid of going to Beijing?"
“It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s that I don’t want to.
When facing those pedantic old ministers, every move must follow the rules, otherwise the emperor would find fault with them and punish them.
It makes me curl up like a turtle every day, I am exhausted!"
"Haha, that's right. I'm also annoyed by those old civil officials. They only talk nonsense all day long. When it comes to fighting, they can't do this or that. If they say so, we can just hand over the Great Zhou to the enemy!"
Bai Li brought up this topic, and the brothers Bai Zongrui and Bai Zongze followed suit, complaining one after another, while Bai Zongren listened and did nothing.
After complaining, Bai Li suddenly remembered the witch doctor's weirdness.
"Dad, what do you think of this witch doctor? He looks weird and difficult to deal with."
"I don't know about that either. An informant in the Zhao Mansion previously reported that he was from outside the domain, and no one had ever seen his true face. Because he could control beasts, he was recruited into the palace by Zhao Defu to serve the King of Wei."
"So, is there any news about him now? For example, who is he in contact with, and what does he want to do?"
"That's not available yet. If you want to know, you can ask Nangong Min, because he is responsible for the informant aspect."
"Well, I'll ask him later."
"By the way, such a big thing happened today, where are your brother and the others?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen anyone since I got up this morning!"
"These guys can't even protect their families at home. Just wait and see how I'll deal with them when I get home!"
