Chapter 1798: Chapter 1798: The Barbarian Clan’s Purpose

Jiao Ling finally couldn’t hold back and kicked him, gritting her teeth, “Don’t call me Little Lingdang!”

Bai Ruozhu’s family was holding back their laughter, almost choking. This Fen Jiu was truly a character; calling someone “Little Lingdang” at his age would embarrass anyone.

Fen Jiu shrank his neck, “Alright, alright, I’m just used to it.”

The Bai Family accompanied the two of them to check out, and went straight to the Bai Residence, where the two soon settled into the arranged yard. Fen Jiu looked very satisfied, while Jiao Ling had no objections, only feeling happy to be living with her brother’s family.

Little Dengdeng was especially excited, clinging to Jiao Ling, saying, “Master, I can learn from you every day now.”

Bai Yihong glared at him, “Call her Auntie, the seniority is all messed up.”

Little Dengdeng pouted, then suddenly burst into tears, startling everyone in the room.

Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu were indifferent, but the Bai Family knew that Dengdeng wasn’t a child who cried easily, so why was he suddenly bawling?

Bai Yihong was even more nervous, as if he had bullied the little baby in some way.

“What happened to make him cry?” Bai Yihong rubbed his large hands, somewhat nervously.

Little Dengdeng cried and said, “If I can’t call you Master, how can I learn Mechanical Techniques? I want to learn Mechanical Techniques, I want to learn Mechanical Techniques!”

As he spoke, he suddenly lay down on the ground, kicking and rolling around, leaving Bai Ruozhu dumbfounded.

Is this really her well-behaved and sensible son? Why is he rolling on the ground? Has he been possessed by a troublesome child?

Luckily, Jiao Ling reacted quickly, squatting down and saying, “I’m your Auntie, of course I’ll teach you Mechanical Techniques. Who said only a master can teach you?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Dengdeng stopped crying and suddenly popped up like a carp, with wide, sparkling eyes asking, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true. Our family’s Mechanical Techniques aren’t taught to outsiders. Since you call me Auntie, how could I not teach you?” Jiao Ling couldn’t help but laugh, Ruozhu’s little boy was too delightful, and even at such a young age, he had quite some skills. The carp jump was performed nicely.

Dengdeng’s tears turned into a smile, clapping his hands, “Okay, then I’ll call you Auntie from now on.” Then he looked at Fen Jiu and crisply called, “Granduncle!”

“Hey!” Fen Jiu replied happily, his face blooming into a smile, and he immediately gave Dengdeng a mechanical waist badge, “Here, Granduncle’s meeting gift for you.”

As it is customary not to refuse a gift from an elder, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t stop Little Dengdeng, but today she confirmed once again that her son loved Mechanical Techniques to an unabashed degree.

Dengdeng took the mechanical waist badge and fiddled with it, not disturbing the adults, quietly playing on his own, as if the troublesome child just now was everyone’s imagination.

“Sis, I’ve thought about it. Once the baby’s mother is past three months, and the fetus is stable, we should go visit our mother.” Bai Yihong hesitated for a while before speaking. Of course, he had already discussed this with Lin Ping’er.

Jiao Ling showed surprise and joy, “Good, good, this is excellent. Sister-in-law also needs to take care of her body. It would be better if Ruozhu and the others can go together. Mother has always wanted to hold her grandchildren; if she knows she has both a great-grandson and a great-granddaughter, she will be so happy.”

“Yes, we can probably go with Big Brother and Sister-in-law.” She looked towards Bai Zehao and Wan Caiyue, and both nodded immediately. It’s just that Second Brother has an official position, so it might not be easy for him to leave casually.

Jiao Ling was very excited, talking a lot about the Jiuli Clan, including their beautiful scenery and honest and friendly people, making Bai Yihong and the others very interested.

…

In the Barbarian Camp, Yingtong finally saw the Barbarian Clan’s eldest prince, Sangdian. Because she had been drugged with Dispersing Powder, she looked wilted and spiritless.

“Why did you call me here? Are you planning to knock me out again just to vent your anger?” Yingtong asked coldly.

Sangdian laughed heartily, “As long as you behave, do I not know how to cherish beauty?”

“Get to the point!” This time, Sangdian had only brought her out, without bringing out Chu Hai, making her a bit worried that Sangdian would ruin her honor.

If that’s the case, she’d rather die!

“Did you send a distress signal earlier?” Sangdian asked.

Yingtong grew wary, “Didn’t have time.”

Sangdian’s face turned cold, “If that’s the case, that Chu Hai is useless. I’ll have someone drag him to feed the wolves right now!”

“Wait, why are you asking this? Afraid the horsemen from the Western Regions will arrive?” Yingtong grew nervous but dared not lose her composure.

“Still not telling the truth? My wolves haven’t tasted human flesh in a long time; it’s their favorite.” Sangdian’s face showed a fierce expression, and he licked his lips with a scarlet tongue, making Yingtong shiver instinctively and causing Sangdian to laugh smugly.

“Your two countries don’t interfere with each other, so why do you capture me? We haven’t offended you, right?” Yingtong asked angrily.

“But you’ve offended my ally. Blame yourself for being too close to Tang Yin and them.” Sangdian said.

“Your ally is Danliang’s King Rui?” Yingtong was shocked, but seeing Sangdian’s indifferent expression, it was clear he didn’t care that she had guessed King Rui.

“What about Sangta? Is your ally here to help you defeat Sangta?” she asked again.

Sangdian laughed maniacally, “That coward has already fed the wolves, not even a shred of bone left. It’s rare for someone to even remember him.”

He suddenly stood up, taking two steps forward and gripping Yingtong’s neck, “Don’t dawdle. If you have no use, I’ll let my wolves feast right now.”

Yingtong gritted her teeth, and ultimately had to say, “I sent distress signals to both the Western Regions and Danliang.”

Sangdian released her neck, looking quite pleased, “Will Danliang send that Jiang Yichun? Haha, this is perfect, I can answer to King Rui.”

Yingtong’s heart sank. So Sangdian and his men attacked her envoy not just to disrupt the union between the Western Regions and Danliang but also to lure Jiang Yichun to the rescue, and then…

How much must King Rui hate Jiang Yichun!

Yingtong was soon thrown back into the jail, where Chu Hai anxiously approached her to ask if she was alright, and Yingtong, feeling dejected, said, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have sent a distress signal to Danliang. If anything happens to Jiang Yichun, how will I face Ruozhu?”

She finished speaking and covered her face, crying loudly. Chu Hai wrapped his arms around her shoulders, not knowing how to console her, and finally, he pounded his head with his fist, “It’s my fault; I let you end up in this situation.”

Yingtong quickly grabbed his hand, “Don’t hit yourself. It’s not your fault. It was my most trusted maid who betrayed us and caused you to be affected as well; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been drugged with Dispersing Powder.”

Her maid had betrayed her, drugging her drink with Dispersing Powder, and Chu Hai, having drunk the wine she personally poured, had no guard against it at all.
