There was a look of doubt in Qinghu's eyes.
Qinghu's instinct to sense danger as a killer enabled him to confirm his suspicion in this state of silence.
He lagged behind the rest on purpose and hid himself among the woods and no one noticed or became suspicious.
If the person behind all this was a small fry, he would settle it quietly on his own.
The rest of the group proceeded with their journey forward but for some reason, Lin Mengya's thoughts were in a whirl.
She stole a glance at Long Tianyu, but finally decided to keep quiet about her bafflement.
Why would there be water caltrop grass in the Emperor's medicine? The main function of water caltrop grass was to neutralize the poison in a person's body. She had never heard how it could benefit man's health in any other way.
Moreover, her teacher even lamented that this medicine had existed purely for neutralizing poison when he talked
"If I were you, I'll have my subordinate stay where they are and not move." Lin Mengya was the only one who had maintained her calm and cool. The men in the peripheral had fallen onto the ground and were rolling all over in agony. The sound of their crying filled the entire woods and this added to the bizarre atmosphere. "What is it? What exactly did you do?" Even a very powerful man would be gripped with fear when faced with an unknown enemy. "I didn't do anything. You're the one who provoked me. All of this is retribution." A mocking expression appeared in Lin Mengya's eyes. Once again, the corner of her mouth turned up into a silent, bizarre smile. At this wee hour in the morning, a sorry-looking Lin Mengya seemed to have turned into a mysterious, unfathomable female ghost. "So it was indeed your doing!" Obviously the leader of the men in black had never b
"Thank you, Princess," said Lin Kui as he swallowed the antidote from Lin Mengya without any hesitation. The manner in which these men died was horrifying. All the poisonous bugs within a radius of 10 miles were all gathered here. Even these mighty men found the pungent smell sickening. Lin Mengya, however, looked totally unfazed, as if she was used to such sights. "Your Highness the prince, apart from the man whom the princess spared, all the rest of his companions are dead by now." Lin Kui was all the more petrified after checking out on those dead bodies. At first, the impression he had of the princess was that of a beautiful and intelligent lady. At this moment, however, Lin Mengya was more like a fiend to him. "We shouldn't delay further, Third Elder Brother. Let's get going, lest something else pops up." The appearance of the men in black
"Don't ask anymore, let me go and check it out," said Qinghu. He escorted Lin Mengya as they cautiously entered the army camp. There was great chaos in the army camp. However, the fire finally came under control given that there were many soldiers working to put out the fire, and the snow definitely helped. Lin Mengya went around in the camp cautiously and realized that the condition at the peripheral was not too bad. It seemed that the fire had started from the heart of the campground. As they neared the main tent, Lin Mengya could see that the ground around it was badly burnt. She stared at the area, stupefied. It appeared that the main tent and the tent where Qin Mo was in had been the most severely affected by the fire. These evil doers were outrageous! They even had the audacity to set fire on the army camp. Did they really mean to kill Qin Mo? "Where are the people?
Although the fire seemed to have destroyed all the evidence, it had also simultaneously created new evidence. Lin Mengya took Qinghu's long sword and used it to part the ashes, as if she were looking for something in the ashes. "Hey, lass, my sword is precious." He looked at his sword with pain in his eyes. He had obtained it from a blacksmith with a huge sum of money. On usual days, Qinghu would never allow anyone to touch his sword. He never imagined that Lin Mengya would use it to brush through the hot ashes from the fire. "Alright, I'll give you back your sword." Lin Mengya tossed the sword to Qinghu and intended to dig through the ashes with her bare hands. Qinghu looked from Lin Mengya's delicate hands to his sword, and then offered his sword back to Lin Mengya again without further hesitation. "No matter how precious it is, won't it be valuable only if
She might as well make use of the opportunity since Qin Xu had retired and was spending most of his free time at home. "Thank you, Uncle Qin. Prince Yu and I will be waiting eagerly for your visit." Lin Mengya's words were pleasing to Qin Xu's heart. Not only was she polite, possessed a sense of propriety, she was also outstanding in her medical skills. The Lins were indeed so blessed. "It's getting late, and we have delayed a day in the army camp. It's time for us to leave, Uncle Qin." An entire day had passed since they left home riding on horses. All the commotion had died down and her elder brother had stabilized the entire situation by now. It would be inappropriate for her to remain at the camp for any longer. "Alright. They would enter the city in a few days anyway. Young General Lin, I would have to trouble you to look after Qin Mo." Lin Nansheng nodd
Long Tianyu took off his cloak and sat across from Lin Mengya. In a practiced manner, Baishao took Long Tianyu's cloak and hung it behind the door. "Baishao's here too, is it cold outside?" Baiji glanced at Baishao as a pained look appeared in her eyes. Baiji would never expect Baishao to come to Restaurant Ruyi with the prince. She called to mind what her mother used to say about people whose eyes were shaped like the petal of a peach flower. Baishao's eyes were like that. Perhaps for this reason, Baiji thought she could never become good sisters with Baishao. "It's fine. I've brought a hand heater for Master." There was a look of panic in Baishao's eyes, as if she had touched something burning hot. Holding on to the hand warmer that Lin Mengya always carried with her, Baishao placed some small pieces of burning coal into it gently. "You appear to have regai
"I'll come with you, let's go." A pair of big warm hands grabbed onto Lin Mengya's small hands. Long Tianyu's deep voice was her greatest reassurance in times when she felt the most helpless. Nodding, Lin Mengya held back her tears and followed Long Tianyu up the horse carriage. In anticipation of the return of the great army, all the shops were fabulously decorated and the sound of firecrackers continued non-stop. The troops led by the Lins had been battling to guard the borders so they could protect the Dajin against enemy attacks. For this reason, they held an exceptional status in the country. "The Lin family is indeed an interesting one." In an conspicuous teahouse, Xin Li, who was dressed in a bright-red, embroidered robe looked lasciviously at the troops of the Lins. Dajin, being guarded by Lin Muzhi, would be almost impossible to invade even if he was merely talkin
"Lin Muzhi bows in respect to you, Prince and Princess." He was Lin Mengya's father, but the two were silently looking at each other as Lin Mengya became the honorable Princess Yu, while Lin Muzhi obviously became subordinate to her. "Father—you must not feel sorry, father." Her eyes were brimming with tears and her voice was trembling. Long Tianyu pulled up Lin Muzhi personally, showing his clear respect toward him. "Good... good girl. You look good. I... I don't feel worried anymore." Lin Nansheng delivered a letter to him before. And in the letter, it said that Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were living in harmony. It seemed that his daughter was the lucky one by having Prince Yu as her husband and the two understood each other. Lin Muzhi lived a happy life once. Thus, he knew clearly that the caring and affection between Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu was not a s
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
