"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
A smile appeared on Lin Mengya's face as she nodded profusely. It was so wonderful that he was alive! As if encouraged by Lin Mengya's actions, some young wives and girls started dashing towards their beloved. There were joyful laughs of reunion as well as sad partings. All the more, there was a feeling that their lives had been renewed. "Enough, Third Elder Sister-in-law. You two would become the subject of gossip in the entire Dajin if you continue in your embrace. How about giving me a hug too, didn't I fight the enemies at the frontline too?" Long Qinghan, who was standing beside them, teased playfully. Lin Mengya would not have noticed if Long Qinghan did not mention it. She looked up from Long Tianyu's bosom and realized that all three men's heads and faces were soot black. "Stop spouting nonsense, lest I break your leg." Lin Mengya threatened Long Qing
Upon looking at the casualties in the courtyards, Zhu Aizhi was moved with compassion. "We are running short of medicinal herbs for the injured and clean cotton for cleaning the wounds. Will you be able to make a trip into the capital city overnight to get supplies? Oh yes, there's a pharmacy in the city with a shopkeeper who is an old friend of mine. Just tell him that Prince Yu's Mansion is in need of these medicinal herbs and he will definitely comply." Lin Mengya gave the physician's prescription to General Zhu. "Rest assured, Princess. I will make sure to accomplish the mission you entrusted to me." Zhu Aizhi, accompanied by his trusted aide, set out on the journey into the capital city to fetch the medical supplies. At the moment, the floor of the courtyard was occupied by wounded soldiers waiting for medical attention. However, without the necessary medical supplies, Lin Mengya would be unable to help them.
"Thank goodness that all the people seemed to be well. Why don't you take a rest, master?" Lin Mengya was most exhausted. She had been toiling the entire night, even up until now, she had been working like a spinning top that had not stopped turning. "It's alright, I used to stand for a day and a night when I was working in the laboratory." These words just slipped out of her mouth without her realizing at first. She had in fact been talking about what happened in her previous life. Fortunately, the four maidservants were dizzy and groggy from exhaustion and did not register what she was saying. "Alright, go in the horse carriage to take a rest, so you don't have to be awoken later when we are setting out." The five criminals, who were from the Peach Blossom Dock, had been secretly locked up by Zhu Aizhi. The horse carriage had also been washed to be squeaky clean. Zhu Aizhi was, in fac
"Princess Ming Yue is after all our guest. We will definitely show her our hospitality. Your Highness, let's go and pay our respects our mother first." Lin Mengya smiled as she deftly broke free from Jiang Ruqin's hold. Long Tianhao's line of vision did not fall on Jiang Ruqin the entire time since they arrived. Having been completely ignored, Jiang Ruqin began burning with rage. Just wait and see. The coming days in the mansion would no longer be as plain sailing as before! Being covered with dust, the group of returning people went into their respective courtyards to wash up. Jin Yue hurried back to the Art Courtyard to announce their return and once Lin Mengya changed into clean clothes, she, accompanied by her maids headed to the Art Courtyard. Just when they entered the door, the girls' laughter could be heard coming from outside. A frown appeared on Lin Mengya's face
"Get along with me? What do you mean, mother? Isn't Princess Ming Yue returning to the western vassal state with King Ming in a while?" Lin Mengya pretended not to understand the message Concubine De was trying to convey as she looked at her with widened, puzzled eyes. Concubine De did not think much of it. Her mouth turned up at its corners, forming a gentle smile. "It is King Ming's intention to look for a family for Princess Ming Yue to marry into, and it just happened that she had her eyes on Yu'er. I'm aware that you two are still newlyweds and this is not totally appropriate, but it is difficult to turn King Ming down." Lin Mengya was relieved to learn from Concubine De's tone that this matter was still not firmed up, but was only at the stage of discussion. "Ya'er thinks that this would depend on Prince Yu's opinion. I'm merely a woman, how would I know of such things?" She knew Long Tianhao t
Lin Mengya felt weary and smelt bit sweaty, and gazed at the vermilion bed curtain, lost in her thoughts. The events that happened previously, were still lingering in her mind. Covering her head with the quilt, Lin Mengya felt so much regret that she could have bitten off her tongue. How stupid she was! She meant to dissuade Long Tianyu from meeting Princess Ming Yue. But then everything went beyond her control. How did it turn out like this? Lin Mengya cowered beneath the quilt, feeling a sense of regret and depression. She fiddled with her fingers, wondering if this was the right time to apologize to Long Tianyu. "Master, master, are you all right? You scared us to death." Baiji drew the curtain back, but Lin Mengya, hiding under the quilt refused to emerge from it. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine." Lin Mengya forced a smile, although she was
The four girls were sitting in a circle and talking. "Stop chatting, master is back." Baishao saw Lin Mengya first and squinted her eyes at her little sisters. They all shut up. "Master? What happened? Where is the prince?" Baiji walked up to her, but Lin Mengya looked absent-minded. Although she had guessed what happened, she still couldn't bear to say it. "Oh, the prince may have gone out." Lin Mengya forced a smile. She suddenly remembered that Long Tianyu said it was all up to her when he left. It seemed that it wasn't a joke. Had Long Tianhao ever made any jokes? She smiled bitterly. "Actually, master, the prince, he— “ Baiji wanted to say something but stopped. She knew master was very sad. But if she didn't say it, the situation would be even worse for her master. "What's wrong? If you want to say
"You are usually sensible in handling all matters, but you don't seem to be supportive of the idea of Ming Yue marrying Long Tianhao." As the successor to the throne of the western vassal state, Hu Tianbei had been frequently entrusted to independently carry out tasks by King Ming since he came of age. Therefore, naturally, he was confident of his independent judgment. "Why did Father insist on marrying Ming Yue to Long Tianhao? Not only is he not the perfect choice, given Ming Yue's character, she would surely misbehave once she marries into Prince Yu's Mansion. Moreover, you've seen for yourself how tough the daughter of the Lin family is. Not to mention Ming Yue having to deal with her, even I might not be able to handle her if we clash with each other." Having come into close contact with Prince Yu and his wife, he had learned the real meaning of a perfect match. Prince Yu may have appeared self-effacing as h
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
