Chapter 147.1: Surviving Member of the Previous Dynasty (1/2)
“Yuner, how did you end up like this!?” Seeing that it was Yuner, Tang Doudou hastily moved to help him up. Her voice was full of distress as she questioned him.
Although this child was a little slow, he was very kind-hearted. He also seemed to have a special ability to sense people’s characters and was good at distinguishing good from evil.
Tang Doudou didn’t know how he ended up like this or where the people from the Prime Minister Residence went, but she couldn’t leave him like this. She decided to bring him back to the Alliance Head Residence first and think about the other things later. However, just as she was about to do so, Yuner suddenly grabbed onto her hands tightly. He looked towards her, his clear eyes filled with tears, as he cried, “Beautiful Big Brother! Yuner begs you, please save Big Sister San Yu!”
“What happened to San Yu?” Tang Doudou was completely confused. What exactly happened during this past month that she had been away?
“Big Sister San Yu, she, she…”
Seeing that he was very agitated, Tang Doudou spoke gently to calm him, “Yuner, don’t be so agitated. Say it slowly. As long as it’s something I can help with, I’ll definitely help.”
Yuner gradually calmed down, but he still gripped Tang Doudou so tightly that his fingernails were about to dig into her flesh. He moved his lips. His voice seemed to come from the horizon. “Big Sister San Yu, she, she’s about to be beheaded!”
It seemed like he had used the last of his strength to say this. Right after he finished speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Tang Doudou was stunned by this news. Soon afterward, she lifted Yuner and said to Wu Li and the others, “Come on, we need to hurry back to the Alliance Head Residence!”
The group grandly entered Huai City, sweeping through the streets on horseback. Murong Ming who was standing on the upper story of a certain restaurant saw Yuner on Wu Li’s horse and smiled coldly.
The Alliance Head Residence was located on the north side of Huai City. They had to pass through pretty much all of Huai City’s districts to reach it.
Tang Doudou faintly recalled the way but still ended up making several wrong turns. Over an hour passed before they finally reached the Alliance Head Residence.
Tang Doudou jumped off the horse and had Wu Li carry Yuner as they walked towards the Alliance Head Residence.
After a month of absence, the Alliance Head Residence was still in shambles like before. What surprised Tang Doudou was the fact that there was no one guarding the entrance. She opened the doors and went in, completely unimpeded, to the meeting hall.
Tang Doudou had Wu Li wait outside the hall, then pushed open the door.
The center of the meeting hall was filled with seated people. When they heard the sound of the door being pushed open, they looked over with surprise. Upon seeing that the person who entered was Tang Doudou, all of them started to stand up. There were all kinds of expressions on their faces; the entire hall was awkwardly silent.
“Alliance Head?”
“The Alliance Head has returned!”
“It really is the Alliance Head!”
Following that, these exclamations broke this abnormal silence.
Tang Doudou looked around and discovered that with the exception of a few faces that she often saw, the rest of the people in the hall were unfamiliar.
As for the person she wanted to find the most, Bai Feiyun, he wasn’t here. The person she disliked most, Elder Yu, was not here either. It was really strange. What kind of meeting were they having if those two weren’t present?
Now that she was back in the Alliance Head Residence, she naturally had to act like a respectable and presentable Alliance Head and couldn’t act as energetic and lively as before. So Tang Doudou proceeded to walk in with a calm and indifferent expression. She only stopped when she reached the host seat.
