Chapter 493 The Five Chief Elders
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The so-called venue was really the field just outside the Pavilion of Herbs temporarily cordoned out for the occasion.
Although it was only for temporary use, the set up was in no way haphazard.
The preliminary rounds were a competition of the basic and the spectator stand took up more space than the competition ground.
Apart from Lin Mengya and Zuo Qiuyu, who were seated at the second tier of the spectator tower, the rest of the officials were simply seated below the competition platform.
Under the watchful eyes of all the people, Lin Mengya, accompanied by Zuo Qiuyu, finally seated herself at her seat.
From this angle, she was able to clearly see everything that was happening on the grounds. On the other hand, having been blocked by a curtain of beads, the view of the people was obscured and they would not be able to see her clearly.
"Please go ahead, the prince and princess do not wish to be disturbed."

Each of the twelve wooden boxes was carried a blend of a thousand medicinal herbs.In a while, each table would be occupied by three people and each person would have to pick four kinds of herbs, put them into the wooden boxes to be sealed up. Finally, the boxes would be brought up to the stage and the five elders would be invited up there to verify them.It sounded easy enough, however, the execution was much more difficult than it seemed.Not to mention how to discern one thousand different herbs, there were in fact many herbs that bear similar traits.For this reason, to pick out a few kinds of herbs from among a thousand herbs would be very challenging."Open the boxes!"After the disciple who was the overall in charge of the event gave the cue, the twelve boxes were opened.In that instant, the eyes of all the people seemed to be glued to the medicinal herbs in the boxes.The

Lin Mengya glanced at the stage, surprised that these four men had the guts to plot harm against the members of the royal family.Zuo Qiuchen had long cultivated himself to be a composed person, unlike the temperamental commoners. He had completely calmed down after getting all worked up just a moment ago."Back then, they colluded with Prince Qing in an attempt to poison us out of their greed for power. When we'd taken in the poison, Qiuyu's master made himself the guinea pig to try out the poison in order to find the antidote. For this reason, Qiuyu's master was plagued with illnesses all over. All the more, due to his frailty, he finally succumbed to the poison and died. From then on, Qiuyu started traveling the world in search of the eldest princess.There was a deep implication for Zuo Qiuyu taking notice of Lin Mengya.She finally understood why Zuo Qiuyu had tried to draw close to her back in the palace."So Cou

"Many thanks to Elder Nan."Although the young Hou remained qualified for the competition, it was apparent from his facial expression that he was in no way relieved.He looked as if he was glaring at an arch-enemy, but he had no choice but to retreat.If Zuo Qiuyu had not explained the background to Lin Mengya, she would think that this young Hou was an unappreciative lad."Nan Rui esteems the secret method passed down by the Hou Family. To start with, he had a rather cordial relationship with the Hous. However, who would have expected that he would try to profit from their misfortune? If not for the Hous' immense effort in trying to preserve themselves, their family property accumulated over a few centuries would have been completely robbed."What a bunch of robbers! Lin Mengya could totally empathize with why the descendants of the Hou Family would be so rude to these elders.If she were in his shoes, sh

"Your Highness, are you saying that you've seen through him from very early on?"Yu An had calmed down. It made sense because if even he was able to see the flaws, how would the princess not see it given that she was such a cautious person?"If he is truly a chess piece put there by the emperor, why would he come to look for me so abruptly?"However, given Zuo Qiuchen's capability, it was not difficult for him to plant his agent around Zhu Qiyun.Unfortunately, Zhu Jiajing's move was way too impetuous.From her perspective, it seemed a little too deliberate.Lin Mengya found it difficult to believe such a coincidence.Obviously, Zhu Jiajing had purposely approached her to say those meaningless words.Not to mention that she could see the flaws, even Yu An could tell something amiss from what he said. Could Zhu Jiajing think that she could be fooled so easily?"Your Hi
Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 498 The Zhus Tried Launching an Attack
Zhu Qiyun had kept quiet about his son's death all because he wanted to launch a surprise attack at them here.Then he would act like a grieved weeping old man, so Lin Mengya would become a target for public criticism.Little did he expect that he was the one cornered by Lin Mengya the moment he announced the demise of this son."A country has its laws and a family its own rules. When a prince violates the country's law, he is as guilty as any of his people. If my subordinate abuses someone unto his death, I would never deny it. On the other hand, Lord Zhu, not only did you not report your son's death to the feudal official, you even tried to keep the news of his death in secret. Actually, I find this very suspicious! Unless, Lord Zhu, you think that there is no other righteous judge in the world other than yourself!"Lin Mengya articulated every word. Her glib tongue seemed to have disregarded all sensibilities.She h

The scene was actually rather funny with Lin Mengya holding on to one handkerchief that was exactly the same as that in Zhu Jiajing's hands.At that moment, the latter was staring at the handkerchief in her hand as if he had seen something awesome.Lin Mengya casually waved the handkerchief in the air so that the eyes of all the people were moving along with the moving handkerchief.Surrounding them were the officials who were pillars of the Nation of Lintian and at this moment, these officials were confused over the two woman's handkerchief."Lord Zhu, since Yu An had found my handkerchief, I suppose your nephew can keep the one in his hands as a souvenir. I just thought that these are items belonging to women and it's not fitting for a man to be overly concerned about them."Lin Mengya's words enraged Zhu Qiyun to the point of vomiting blood.This was where she was very brilliant. Whether it was the trut

Fortunately, the little episode during the competition did not attract much attention.Nevertheless, two people stationed far away on the second level of the spectator stand knew exactly what had happened."It appears that you haven't misjudged his character. This Hou Lingyu was indeed upright and bighearted given that he was willing to give up the competition to clear your name. He is a real man."With a look of admiration in his eyes, Zuo Qiuyu gazed in the direction of the competition square at Hou Lingyu, who had regained his energy and was at the moment focused on treating the little girl."The Hous are an interesting family. Did you manage to gather any information regarding them?"As Lin Mengya inquired, she squinted and conveniently picked up a piece of fruit and popped it into her mouth."The Hous has always enjoyed pretty good public opinion. Unfortunately, when the previous head of the family be

"Let's go. Now there's nothing much to see anymore."Zuo Qiuyu got up as he spoke to Lin Mengya with a helpless sigh.The candidates who qualified for the next round of the competition had been decided. The so-called preliminary round had come to an end at this juncture.There were altogether more than thirty participants but only five among them got through this preliminary round.Even Lin Mengya was a little surprised by the percentage of participants being disqualified.She heard that these thirty participants were picked because they stood out from thousands of people who applied for the competition.Each of them was a talent who used to be extremely self-confident, but now they met people who were as talented if not even more talented than them. Hou Lingyu and the other four were actually rather pleasantly surprised to eventually emerge victoriously."Yes, but this is not the end yet. Cou

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
