"Does anyone have a dagger or a pocket knife? I want to borrow it for a while," Lin Mengya asked.
Seeing that she seemed to have discovered something, Zhou Ling immediately drew the knife from her waist and handed it to her.
It was only then that Lin Mengya noticed that Commander Zhou carried a knife and a sword on her slender waist.
It seemed that Commander Zhou was a rare master in martial arts.
Taking the knife from Zhou Ling, Lin Mengya handed the torch over to the female guard beside her.
Then she beckoned for a few guards to provide illumination for her and examined the arms of the female corpses carefully with her sharp eyes.
As she expected, she found extremely small black dots from their wrists to elbows.
If she guessed correctly, these black dots should be small holes.
They were just too small to be discovered by ordinary people.
Then Lin Mengya took
"Huh? To be the Empress?"Wait a minute. Does Zhou Ling misunderstand something?""Commander Zhou Ling, I actually have no ambition for the position of the Empress. You... you don't have to rush," Lin Mengya said, obviously startled."To be the Empress? Do they want me to marry the Emperor..."No way... The Emperor seems to be around my father's age. How can I marry him?""How can we not rush? You've seen the current situation of Madame Jingrou. She is competent at the position of the Empress, but can only be a Madame. Now all the Misses from aristocratic families are coveting the position of the Ninth Princess, so you must hurry up to get the position," Zhou Ling said.Lin Mengya was stunned. "Gosh, it... it is absolutely impossible for me to marry Xiaoyu, okay?"At the thought that Lin Mengya was worried about this, Zhou Ling immediately tried to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, my fath
There was something wrong with Baisu. Apart from the panic-stricken look in her eyes, her expression indicated that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.Lin Mengya grabbed Baisu's wrist with her hand, thinking how that happened.She said, "Stop thinking about it, Baisu. Do as I say! Stop thinking about it. Trust me."Lin Mengya regretted insisting on bringing up this topic. Baisu was in an abnormal condition.She had not found anything abnormal about Baisu's health condition before. Unexpectedly, when Baisu was overcome with emotion, apart from her disordered pulse, there seemed to be something moving wildly in her body."Miss... there... there is something wrong with me, isn't there?" Baisu asked.Lin Mengya gently patted Baisu's back to calm her down gradually and said, "It's alright. Maybe you've just forgotten part of your memories. Sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up."I
They were killed in a way that could not be simply described as cruel."Alright, I'll handle this in person. Rest assured, Miss. But before young master got out of the imperial palace, he said you had better not go out. Miss, if it's possible, you can tell me what you want and let me help you with it," Baisu said.Lin Mengya nodded, also thinking it might be a little inappropriate for her to do this in person.After all, Baisu had more contacts and was more familiar with local customs than her. It was better to keep a low profile when gathering information.After Lin Mengya gave Baisu some detailed instructions and told her to hurry back, Baisu got out of the courtyard.Staring at the skins and skeletons of the four corpses on the table, Lin Mengya blinked with a flicker of coldness in her eyes.No matter if the four innocent people were killed by the Candle Dragon Cult or someone else, no matter wh
"This is indeed amazing. Nevertheless, since it is a treasure among the relics of the Guwei State, could it be that someone had once found the relics of the Guwei State?" Lin Mengya asked.However, hearing her question, Long Tianyu shook his head.Then he ruffled her long hair and held her tightly in his arms.Although they were not talking about something concerned with love and romance, what he did made the atmosphere between the two of them relaxing and sweet.He said, "These things were passed down along with the legend rather than being taken out of the relics of the Guwei State by someone, and their existence turned the relics of the Guwei State from a legend into a reality. Even the music score for green stringed instrument, which belonged to your mother, was one of the tools that turned this dream into a reality."If Long Tianyu hadn't mentioned this, Lin Mengya wouldn't have had this feeling.
"How is that possible? My teacher has always abhorred this kind of thing. He won't even cast a glance at it, let alone make it. Did you make a mistake? Maybe he intended to make the antidote," Lin Mengya subconsciously grabbed hold of the front of Long Tianyu's clothes and anxiously tried to defend her teacher.Long Tianyu was not annoyed, nor did he think that she was doubting him.He cupped Lin Mengya's face in his hands and kissed her red lips to pacify her who was anxious.Others might not be aware of how much Mr. Baili meant to Lin Mengya, but he, as her husband, was.She gradually loosened her grip and calmed down a lot although she was breathing rapidly.Long Tianyu finally stopped kissing her lips and turned to kiss her forehead gently."Have you calmed down? If you did, I'm going to tell you one more thing," Long Tianyu said.Lin Mengya, nestling in his arms, could only nod hel
It seemed that this matter needed further consideration."In that case, let's put this matter aside for the time being. If you really want to investigate into it, don't alarm anyone. I think you can start from the Divine Witch Shrine," Lin Mengya said.This matter was not only related to Baisu, but also might be related to other secrets.Lin Mengya had intended to inquire about it from indirect sources and make a plan after finding out the whole story.But Baisu was even more anxious than she thought.It made sense. It was impossible for anyone who had gone through this to act as if nothing had happened.Since she had promised Baisu to investigate into this, she might as well offer Baisu a clue first."The Divine Witch Shrine? What do my memories have to do with it?" Baisu asked.Seeing her puzzled look, Lin Mengya explained patiently, "Think about this, since your master e
The Xiannan Hall was as secluded and simple as before without any visitors.Although Xin Luan was about to be the former High Priest, he still had an influence that could not be underestimated in the Xin Family.There were supposed to be plenty of people coming to flatter him.However, the High Priest claimed that he couldn't receive any visitors after being frightened in the assassination attempt.By now, Lin Mengya was one hundred percent certain that the High Priest must be acting in collusion with the Emperor.His recuperation was just an excuse for refusing to receive visitors.However, no one knew what mischief the High Priest, who was not a coward, was up to in the Xiannan Hall."Who are you?" There came a voice.Lin Mengya, who was walking with her head down, was stopped.She lifted her head and saw several men dressed like guards.It was s
"So that is how it is..." Lin Mengya said.She pretended to be enlightened by her words, but didn't withdraw her hairpin.She looked at the woman in front of her with regret, seeming to be in a difficult position.However, she changed the topic, revealing her inherent wickedness once again. "It's a pity that my awareness of it is useless. His Majesty and Madame Jingrou insist on finding a scapegoat. You, as a humble palace maid, got involved in this matter, which made you the perfect scapegoat."Lin Mengya was aware that now she acted like a devil who gave the woman hope time and again and personally pushed her into a deeper abyss of despair.Instructed by Baisu, the woman lying prone on the ground had suffered specially cruel torment in the past few days.By the time she was brought to Lin Mengya, her psychological defense had become weak.This was the place where the palace servants,
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
