Several men, led by Baiji and Baishao, searched the whole house in detail.
They even looked under the bed, but of course, there was nothing down there.
Sitting behind the screen, Lin Mengya sipped tea slowly.
Those imperial guards inadvertently all showed puzzled expressions.
No, that was not the situation that the superior order had asked for.
"You've done your search. Now please leave, my master is going to rest."
Baiji, with a hint of discontent in her eyes, didn't hesitate to show them the door.
It was said that when these imperial guards went to other people's tents, they just looked around at most.
But in Lin Mengya's tent, they would even arrest a fly to check its gender.
Just now the courteous leader of the imperial guards looked at the shadowy screen. He bit his lips and said, "We didn't search the back of the screen, Princess, if you will excuse us.
No one would have expected that Lord Zhang would suddenly raise the steel cutlass of the guard standing beside him to kill there and then. At that instant, Lord Yue covered Yue Qi's eyes, and Baiji and Baishao turned their heads away in one accord. Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were the only ones who looked on with expressionless faces on the dead body lying on the floor. "Lord Zhang's hand motion is quick and clean-cut. You have definitely not lost that quality of being the paragon of a valiant soldier fighting on the battleground years ago." As Long Tianyu opened his mouth to speak, he had meant to express his admiration, but somehow it did not sound right. "I was infuriated by this blind wretch, who had the audacity to offend Princess Yu. He's deserving of death." He had meant his words for Lin Mengya, as well as for the rest of the people. A number of men were seen dripping with cold s
Vice Princess Dugu ordered some men to splash cold water onto the girls. "Splash!" The bodies of the three girls trembled with cold. The effect of the drug was wearing off and the three girls' eyes gradually came back to life. "Who exactly are you?" The Crown Prince asked, looking down at the girls from his seat. However, those three girls stared at him blankly and even started to giggle. "What's happening?" What happened was completely out of the Crown Prince's expectations. He could only stare at these women behaving as if they were out of their mind. "Ah bah--- ah bah ah bah---" The girls opened their mouths to speak but the sounds they made were not intelligible. They continued giggling, crawling on the floor, and even started drooling. "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, this... this is..." Vice Princess Dugu was a little taken
Princess Ming Yue obviously had her eyes on Prince Yu. Baizhi wondered how her mistress would react if she learned about this. "What did you say? Where did you see that Princess Ming Yue pestering Prince Yu?" It was no wonder that Baiji was surprised. In Dajin, common girls, not to mention the girls from the rich and noble families, after all, always kept their distance from men when in public. "I saw her near the Crown Prince's tent. That shameless Princess Ming Yue refused to let go of Prince Yu even when he tried to ignore her. She even pretended to faint eventually, but Prince Yu still paid her no attention so much so she almost ended up in the mud!" Apparently, Baizhi was very satisfied with Prince Yu's response towards Princess Ming Yue. Although Princess Ming Yue was indeed very beautiful, to Baizhi, her mistress was a cut above Princess Ming Yue without a doubt. Most importantly, Prince Yu ha
"Bei, protect Ming Yue while you retreat with the others." King Ming was indeed an iron man. Despite being faced with a situation of being outnumbered by his enemies, he was still determined to fight for his children's life. "Father, please retreat with Ming Yue and let me fight side by side with Qinghan!" Before King Ming could say no, Hu Tianbei had grabbed a sword from his guard and dashed out of the tent. All the ladies in the tent were shaking like leaves, while Lin Mengya was the only one who maintained her composure. "What should we do now, Master?" Baiji tugged at Lin Mengya's sleeve and asked with panic in her large eyes. "Don't panic yet. Let's check out the situation first. Prince Yu has gone out to fight and together with the guards, they'd manage for the moment." The first thought that came to Lin Mengya's mind was that these were the killers of Peach Blossom
Mrs. Zhong must have entered a state of shock after witnessing such a bloody scene. Lin Mengya knew that she had to reassure and soothe Mrs. Zhong before she would be able to get anything out of her about what happened. Perhaps it was Lin Mengya's tender voice or her gentle touch that brought Mrs. Zhong back to reality from her daze. While keeping her eyes on the beautiful Princess Yu, who was smiling gently and harmlessly, Mrs. Zhong began narrating the frightening incident with a trembling voice. "My husband and I were chatting casually in the carriage when suddenly his eyes were opened so wide, and the next moment, I saw blood oozing out of his neck. Thereafter, he ended up like what you saw." The situation was so bizarre. Otherwise, Mrs. Zhong would not be trembling fearfully up until this moment. Lin Mengya gently patted Mrs. Zhong's shoulder, took over a warm blanket from a maid o
Extrapolating from her existing knowledge, there was not one killer who was extremely highly skilled. Moreover, as a last resort, she could flash a trump card which could preserve lives. They hid in their horse carriage as their eyes followed Baishao and Baiji, who were visiting each horse carriage to comfort the families and to gather leads. "Progress is looking good." Lin Mengya was seated behind the window, fixing her eyes on the few people she sent out. She purposely asked Baizhi and Baishao to create some stir. Meaning to attract the attention of the killers, she wondered if they would take the bait. As Lin Mengya observed the things that were going on outside, she did not realize that her own horse carriage had veered further away into a more secluded area. At this moment, they had entered a more densely wooded area. "What happened? Why have we come her
"Your Highness, Princess Yu, there's a girl in front of us, who claimed that she's Lord Yue's servant. She's come to deliver a letter to you." The voice of a guard echoed outside the horse carriage. Lin Mengya thought it had to be a letter from Elder Sister Yue Ting. "She must have realized that we are lagging behind and have sent men to check on us." "Please come up." When the door of the carriage opened, a young lass with delicate features got in. "Greetings to Princess Yu. I am Cui'er, a personal maidservant to Eldest Miss Yue." She bowed to Lin Mengya with a smile, drew out from her sleeve a letter sealed with wax and presented it to Lin Mengya. Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya was apparently not in a hurry to read it. On the contrary, her eyes lingered on Cui'er and in an unhurried manner, she asked her a question. "How is Elder Sister Yue Ting's injury? I believe you would know her condit
"Given that Prince Yu is such a highly-skilled martial artist, he'll be alright. Although we didn't hear any good news, neither did we hear any bad ones. Eat something, Master. Don't forget there's still someone eyeing on us." Baiji brought a bowl of congee over as she vaguely reminded Lin Mengya that the Crown Prince was not going to let the matter rest yet. "True enough." Lin Mengya took the bowl from Baiji and started sipping from it. The method the Crown Prince employed to deal with the situation this time was too cowardly. When faced with an attack, the Crown Prince had totally disregarded the safety of his people, and ran off, fleeing for his own life. Who would entrust their lives and their family's lives into the hands of such a character? Suddenly, Lin Mengya had a brainwave. Perhaps she could give the Crown Prince a surprise attack, so he would be caught unprepared. Just when
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
