"I met Xin Li before. He's not a good match for Xiu indeed. So, do you invite me here with the intention of asking me to persuade Xiaoyu to help Xiu out for the time being?" Lin Mengya asked.
To her surprise, Dongfang Xu shook his head slightly.
He said, "I want to ask you to persuade Xiu rather than to persuade Wanyan Yu. My niece is very stubborn. She can choose any man other than Wanyan Yu to be her husband, but she is determined to marry into the Xin family. Alas, Miss Lin, I'm wondering if you can help me persuade her to drop this idea?"
What? Xiu was determined to get engaged with Xin Li?
Lin Mengya really couldn't understand why. Could Xiu possibly be out of her mind?
"Okay, I'll try to do that. But I want to ask you about something. My question may put you in a difficult position, but I hope you can answer me," Lin Mengya said.
Since Dongfang Xu doted on Xiu so much, he must hope that Xiu co
"Lass, sit still. I want to have a talk with you," Lin Mengya said.She didn't want to use too many cliches and tricks in a conversation with Xiu.Moreover, Xiu trusted her wholeheartedly. It was better to get straight to the point than to sound out Xiu's motive."Sister Lin, I..." Xiu, sitting in front of Lin Mengya, said.Although she was blind, she still felt nervous in front of Lin Mengya."Xiu, actually your uncle invited me here for the affair of the Xin family rather than for your marriage with Xiaoyu. I suppose you know that, don't you?" Lin Mengya said.Seeing Xiu, who was thin, tremble slightly, she sighed in her heart.As she expected, Xiu tried to do a stupid thing again.She asked, "You want to help Xiaoyu by doing that, right?"People often said that it was easier for pure people to lose their minds in love.Lin Mengya totally agreed
Lin Mengya and Baisu tried a few more times. Sure enough, every time she held the stone tablet in her hand, Baisu said that the feeling of calling her would disappear.After a few times, Lin Mengya still couldn't figure it out.She had no choice but to scan it with the Shen Nung system. However, she still couldn't find out anything new.To her surprise, the function of the stone tablet was similar to that of the strange black cloak on Long Tianyu.It seemed to have the function of shielding. It was strange. Didn't this thing come from the relic of the Guwei State?Why did the stone tablet left behind by the protectors of paradise city have this function?Could it be that the cloak wasn't from the relic of the Guwei State but the paradise city?Clenching the stone tablet with her hand, Lin Mengya had mixed feelings in her heart."Miss, why is it so strange? Were Miss Xiu and
Ningqiu silently followed behind Lin Mengya, and the three of them walked into the main hall of the Fengyu Court.Since Madam moved away, this place had been empty.Although cleaned every day, it made her feel cold and silent for some reason.Now that Lin Mengya had taken over this place, she and Ningqiu had to stay here for the remaining three days.Baisu would prepare everything for them."Have you made up your mind?"A huge wooden tub was in the center of the main hall.The structure of the tub was subtle, under which was a trough to place charcoal.With the structure, when bathing in the tub, the person didn't need to worry about the water becoming cold no matter how long she wanted to stay in it.Warm water could help with the efficacy of the medicine.For the next three days, Ningqiu would probably spend most of her time in this big tub.
After a while, she felt nobody standing behind her.Lin Mengya's body stiffened, and she felt a chill in her heart.Happiness seemed simple. But for her, it was like thorns. She wanted to hold it tightly, but she was afraid of being stabbed.Lin Mengya turned around and looked at the place where Long Tianyu had disappeared. She was a little lost in thought.Although she had come to the idea, she still felt it hard to accept the reality."Miss, Qinghu is here. I've asked him to disguise himself as a guard and sneak into the palace. Do you want to see him now?"Baisu's voice came from behind. Lin Mengya immediately pretended that nothing had happened and smiled."Okay, let him come over."After Long Tianyu left, Qinghu became her guardian.With him around, she no longer had to worry about her safety."Miss, why are your eyes so red?"Bai
In the past, Lin Mengya had ignored many details because of Xiaoyu.For example, the most powerful of the four empires to raise venomous insects was Lieyun Empire. The better at keeping venomous insects a person was, the higher status he would get in Lieyun.In that case, there's a possibility.Could it be the more prestigious a person was in Lieyun, the more likely he was to be a member of the Candle Dragon Cult?It seemed she was an enemy of the Lieyun Empire!That was not the most terrible. If it was true, did it mean that the people of Lieyun, whom she was on good terms with, might be her enemies?Lin Mengya thought very fast, and she only felt a burst of panic in her heart.Unconsciously, she touched her waist and found a hard jade token.That was the official seal that Madam Jingrou gave her. With it, Lin Mengya could go in and out of the palace a will. She could also
Before dawn, an unobtrusive carriage quietly left the palace from the most inconspicuous side door of the palace.Lin Mengya and Ningqiu sat quietly in the carriage. On the shaft of the carriage, Baisu and Qinghu, dressed as a guard, sat outside. Although their expressions were calm, their eyes were keen enough to take in all the signs of disturbance around them.No one was informed of their trip this time. It was a complete secret.Therefore, the safety of Lin Mengya and the others was well guaranteed. Besides, they were also protected by Baisu and Qinghu, so she didn't have to worry too much.The carriage left the royal city and the party traveled very smoothly because of the secret protection of the Emperor and his wife.After hastening the journey for three days without stopping, they finally slowed down a little."Do you know where Xiaoyu and the others are?"Lin Mengya lifted the
If she missed merely one of these things, it would be impossible for her to have such an association.But Lin Mengya was sure that the underground city where the Divine Witch lived could not be the paradise city they were looking for.But the creation of the Divine Witch was very likely to have something to do with the paradise city.Because the people of Lieyun believed that they were the descendants of the King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress.All kinds of legends were also somehow related to the paradise city and the Guwei State.What was the relationship in it? Even she and her uncle didn't know.She subconsciously took out the slate in her arms and rubbed it. Apart from Baisu and Xiu, only the protectors knew what was on the slate.Her thoughts drifted into the distance again. She did not know what kind of secrets were hidden in such a mysterious land like Lieyun.
"But Miss, didn't you say that the effect of those medicines would only last for half a year? If Ningqiu were to expose herself half a year later, all our previous efforts would be wasted, right?"Lin Mengya nodded. Indeed, the medicine she had made could only last for half a year.But in half a year, Xiaoyu might have complete control over the royal venomous insect.At that time, all the venomous insects in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects would obey Xiaoyu's orders.Then couldn't Ningqiu be the chosen witch for as long as she wanted?"So I must figure it out before Xiaoyu enters the Pool of Various Venomous Insects. Baisu, it goes like your martial arts. No matter how sharp your sword is, if your martial arts are not strong enough and your moves are not powerful enough, no matter how powerful the divine weapon you have, it will be like a pile of broken copper and iron in your hands."Lin Mengy
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
