As the night fell, Lin Mengya sat alone in Grace Butterfly Courtyard and took a deep breath.
The spacious Marquis Zhennan's Mansion was now empty.
All the servants in the mansion had been dismissed by her in advance. But they left in secret, so no one noticed it.
Those, who were busy decorating the front yard, were all temporary helpers hired by her father and her.
Tomorrow, after Lin Mengwu's bridal sedan chair went out, they would return to their original places.
Even if someone realized something was amiss, it would be extremely difficult to track them down.
Lin Mengya enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation in the darkness.
In recent days, she, occupied with the Lin Family's business and Long Tianyu's business, had tensed up and didn't dare to relax at all.
Tomorrow she was going to leave everything behind and live her own life.
Thinking of this, she was quite
"Please thank my teacher for me and tell him to be careful. I think Yunzhu seems to have an ulterior motive. My intuition tells me that she truly loves my teacher, but now that she has betrayed my teacher regardless of her affection for him, she must have hidden something complicated," Lin Mengya said.Women's intuitions were always accurate. She could tell Yunzhu's sincere affection for her teacher in Yunzhu's eyes every time Yunzhu saw her teacher.However, she was leaving soon. Although Yunzhu acted normally, she could only ask someone else to protect her teacher."Women's thoughts are the most unpredictable. When Yunzhu was the most popular courtesan in the Capital City, countless men fell for her, who even held an unshakable position in the Peach Blossom Dock. If it were not for that incident, she probably would have been the master of Peach Blossom Dock," Qinghu said.He rarely brought up his past experience. Even when
"You're right. Then, let's spend his money lavishly during this trip!" Lin Mengya said.She was always a spendthrift wherever she was. Since she had made up her mind, she would treat herself generously during this trip."Okay, let's go," Qinghu said.The carriage sped through the crowd and left quietly.Long Tianyu, who was on the horse, seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and glanced at the carriage in confusion."Brother Long, is there anything wrong?" Mao Yuze, who was beside him, asked in a low voice.After spending the past few days with Long Tianyu, he had a favorable impression of Prince Yu, who enjoyed broad support in Dajin.Given his relationship with Lin Nansheng, Long Tianyu threw off his airs in front of him, which was quite rare.The two of them admired each other and got along well with each other in recent days."Oh, nothing. Maybe
Qinghu drove the carriage quietly, and soon they arrived at a quiet abandoned wharf.He looked around alertly. It was not until he was sure that the two of them were followed by no one that he jumped out of the carriage and picked up Lin Mengya, who had fallen asleep, from the carriage.Fortunately, Baili Rui had added some sleep-enhancing supplements in the detoxifying pills.Otherwise, Lin Mengya, who was laden with worries, would not have fallen asleep so easily.After looking around and determining the direction, Qinghu tapped his tiptoe on the ground, flew into the air and gently landed on a boat.Then he bent down and got into the cabin without greeting the boatman.On the shore, someone had come out to get rid of the small carriage they took to come here.As soon as the boatman tapped the tip of the paddle on the shore, the boat immediately left on the river.A momen
After standing at Lin Mengya's door for a long while, Qinghu left slowly.Lin Mengya, who had refreshed herself after a good night's sleep, saw Qinghu sitting in front of her as soon as she opened her eyes."What time is it now?" She asked.Although Lin Mengya repeatedly teased Qinghu about his overreacting, he could only feel a little at ease by watching over her all the time."The day has just dawned. Get up. It's still early," Qinghu said.They had arrived on shore last night, but Qinghu instructed the boatman to stop and waited for her to wake up just because of her words.Qinghu nodded, let down the curtain and went out to wait for her. After a long while, he heard some rustling sounds from inside."I'm done." Hearing a helpless voice, Qinghu turned around, only to see that she was pulling her slightly messy hair with upset in her eyes."I, I can't do my hair. Can you
Qinghu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little complicated.He turned around, covered his mouth with his hands and kept shrugging his shoulders."Hey, what are you laughing about?" Finally, Lin Mengya glared at him fiercely and asked. Didn't people say that women acting pettishly could be lucky? Why did she just become a laughingstock?"Nothing... Look, I've packed some buns for you. It's not safe to stay here for long. Although that man is sensible, I can't put my mind at ease." As Qinghu said, he drew a warm paper packet from his bosom.Lin Mengya took it immediately, drew a tender soup fried bun out of it, and took a small bite cautiously."He's not an ordinary person. We'd better stay away from him as much as possible. By the way, did you get any news about my father and brother from the Capital City?" She narrowed her eyes and said, seeming to be enjoying the soup fried bun.
It was reasonable for Qinghu to get mad. After all, they had gotten into some sticky situations before. If this man was really a troublemaker, they certainly could not ignore him."Let's send someone to find out about the situation. It's inadvisable for us to confront them too early," after pondering for a while, Lin Mengya stopped Qinghu from taking action.She had seen how ruthless Qinghu was. Although the man was shrewd, he didn't seem to be the kind of cunning and shameless people they had met before."Okay, have a good rest here. I'll go and have a talk with them," Qinghu said, pronouncing the two simple words "a talk" in a ghastly and bloodcurdling tone.Nevertheless, she did not mind Qinghu's going to threaten them if he could make them beat a retreat in the face of difficulties.Going back to the carriage and sitting down, Lin Mengya quietly read the book in her hands. But after a while, Qinghu showed up
"Sir, there is nothing more important than human life. This young lady must know it is an emergency and did not say that for fun. In this case, it will be better to let her have a try. Anyway, the situation is unlikely to get worse than it is now," the person said.Lin Mengya suddenly turned around, only to see an extremely sincere smile.It was the man who had stalked them before.She did not know when he had also come here, and he came forward to support her, which surprised her a little."Besides, as an elder in this village, you certainly want the woman and her babies to be safe more than anyone else does. I'm willing to vouch for this young lady. If she fails to save the woman and her babies in the room, I'm willing to be at your disposal," the man continued saying.Hearing his words, even that old man found it difficult to refuse.Moreover, perhaps the man's composed expression imperceptibly m
The babies, that were small, soft and delicate, were asleep with no idea what they had just gone through before coming to this world.The old woman from the Tian Family didn't look delighted at all when she looked at them.There was a flash of viciousness in her eyes. After a while, she tried to cover the baby boy's face with her dry hands without hesitation."Ahem, if you dare to do that, I guarantee you will get killed here right now," there suddenly came a voice, which seemed to belong to a ghost, from the corner.The old woman suddenly withdrew her hands as if her hands had been scalded.Then she glanced at the emaciated girl sitting quietly in the corner and said with a terrified look, "What do you mean by saying that? Can't I hold my grandson? You are an outsider. Mind your own business!"Although the old woman managed to maintain her composed look, Lin Mengya, who seemed to have seen through
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
