"Where... did you go just now?"
Lin Mengya put out her hand to pinch Qinghu's cheek to make sure that he was not just an illusion.
"Ouch! That's painful! I was right before you, just that you couldn't see me."
He tried to pull away Lin Mengya to protect his cheeks and then looked at her in pain as he explained what had happened to her.
"It was an illusion created by using a person's blind spot? I didn't expect that people in ancient times already knew how to make use of this principle."
All of a sudden Lin Mengya realized why the assassins of Peach Blossom Dock always appeared and retreated quickly.
Herein lay the secret.
"Oh, and after you were liberated from Peach Blossom Dock, what happened to the other assassins?"
Peach Blossom Dock had basically been set up by Qinghu.
Now that Qinghu had broken away from Peach Blossom Dock, but other killers might not ha
"Yes, I will do as you said." Steward Deng nodded in agreement. The news of Princess Linlang coming to the capital not only lifted the Prince's spirit, but even he was also excited about it. "Go and make the necessary arrangements now. Do also send whatever precious herbs and medicine we have from the small store in the mansion over to Linlang. She is usually frail, what more now she's injured. She can surely use some supplements. The small store in the mansion was usually managed by Lin Mengya. Long Tianyu knew she was very knowledgeable about the herbs and medicine. Lin Mengya would be the perfect person to prepare the herbs and medicine for Linlang. "Yes, Your Highness." Steward Deng bowed and excused himself. Long Tianyu returned to his study. Left alone, he began reminiscing about his embrace with Lin Mengya a moment ago. He had no idea how satisfying the feeling of embracing a per
Ever since she knew Long Tianyu, she had never seen him shown concern for anyone other than Concubine De. Not even the most exceptional beauties were able to move Long Tianyu's heart. Why then was he especially concerned about Princess Linlang? Lin Mengya stole a glance at Steward Deng, who was busying himself organizing the herbs and medicine, Lin Mengya had a brainwave she casually asked, "I've not heard of Princess Linlang. Who exactly is she?" Without feeling suspicious, Steward Deng paused for a moment and answered, saying, "Miss Linlang was Prince Yu's playmates when they were young. Because of her poor health, she has been living in Prefecture Bing to recuperate. Miss Linlang's health had always been something on the prince's mind, which was why he always sends these valuable herbs and medicine to nurture her health. So that was the reason. Lin Mengya nodded. In that case, she had nothing more
Hunting? What drama was this? Lin Mengya's mind was filled with questions. Was it because the family of King Ming was so used being high back in their country that even when they were in Dajin, they could not stand not going hunting? "Alright, I know what to do. Please go back to the Prince and tell him that I'll make the necessary preparations." It seemed that she was expected to tag along. Qinghu looked out through the door, deep in thoughts as a perplexed look flashed across her eyes. "What are you thinking about?" "When I was out and about today, I chanced upon the sign of Peach Blossom Dock. The sign is only recognizable by people belonging to Peach Blossom Dock." Lin Mengya did not expect Peach Blossom Dock, which had evaporated from the surface of the earth, would all of a sudden become active again. "Can you help me find out what they are trying to achieve?"
Lin Mengya could guess whom that frivolous and rude voice was coming from. As expected, it was Hu Lunan, who was clad in luxurious apparels. What was worrying to Lin Mengya was how intimate he was with the Crown Prince. Since when did these two men become so intimate? They must be in partnership to carry out some evil plans together. She did not believe that anything good can result from them collaborating. "Long time no see, Princess Yu." Hu Lunan walked up to Lin Mengya. Although he was all smiles, Lin Mengya could sense that he was up to something no good. She turned to walk towards Long Tianyu, ignoring Hu Lunan's greetings. Regardless of what they were up to, Lin Mengya was determined to upset their plans. Just wait and see! "We ought to be careful. Hu Lunan was the one to suggest coming for this hunting trip. The guards around Mount Lingju
Lin Mengya groaned in her heart. The voice sounded so familiar, that she felt alarmed when she heard it. She spotted Hu Lunan through the entrance of the small tent. The vice Princess looked hesitant as she was worried that what she was doing would be discovered and exposed. If what she was doing were to come to light, the reputation of the Crown Prince would be ruined. She was caught unprepared and was at a loss of what to do. "What are you trying to say, Second Prince? I don't really understand." As vice Prince Dugu forced a smile on her face, she signaled her guards with a look in her eyes for them to bring Lin Mengya away. "This girl is always full of craft and cunning. Vice Princess, are you afraid that you won't be able to lay your hands on her once she leaves this tent?" Unexpectedly, Hu Lunan reached out and held on to Lin Mengya's arm. He was looking so sure of hi
In the banquet tent, Long Tianyu felt a sudden surge of uneasiness in him. Because they were out and about, Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya would not be sleeping separately in different tents since they were husband and wife. Ye had also been left at home. Long Tianyu made an excuse to go to a temporary tent set up as a bedroom, but there were only four maidservants of Lin Mengya. "Where's your mistress?" With a frown, he looked towards the maidservants in the tent, who were looking lost, immediately an uneasy feeling welled up in his mind. "Our Mistress had gone out alone." The poise one among them, Baiji, immediately sensed that something had gone wrong. She braced herself to answer Long Tianyu. "When did she leave? Who did she go with?" Something was definitely amiss since this was not the Prince's Mansion, so it was unlikely that Lin Mengya would go out for a walk without b
"This tiger is extremely powerful. When I brought my men to capture it, I lost quite a number of them to it. I wonder who would be good enough to overpower it?" Hu Lunan came out of his melancholic mood and displayed his magnanimity. Lin Mengya cast an impassive look at him. She had a lousy impression of him since he would not even let go of a pregnant tiger but was still boasting. To her, Hu Lunan was no better than a beast. "I didn't expect Second Prince to be the one to bring men to capture this tiger, you're truly a valiant man!" Just a moment ago, the Crown Prince was vying against Hu Lunan, and the next moment, he was singing the same tune as Hu Lunan. Lin Mengya could not shake off the feeling that these two men were simply so hypocritical. As the saying goes that the true love between brothers would be tested when they are fighting against a tiger. She was anticipating to see if they were rea
"Alright, those who had wanted to watch the drama may be dismissed now. Go to wherever the weather is cooling." The people standing around were sensitive enough and dispersed after seeing Lin Mengya's expression. It appeared that the rumor regarding Prince Yu was true after all, otherwise, why would Prince Yu go back into the tent once Princess Yu appeared? When Lin Mengya turned around, Long Tianyu was already lying on the bed without removing his outer coat. Long Tianyu had shut his eyes tightly but Lin Mengya could sense that he was not asleep. "Have you fallen asleep, Your Highness?" Lin Mengya was suddenly addicted to the game of teasing Long Tianyu. "If you're, I'm going to extinguish the lights!" She blew the candles and in that instant, darkness filled the tent. What was left was Lin Mengya's pair of bright eyes, staring at Long Tianyu. She carefully
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
