"Does Elder Mu know what this treasure is?" she asked.
Elder Mu shook his head.
"I don't know the specifics, but the so-called fate of the ancient survivors is actually just empty talk. I think maybe they have focused on the status and supplies of the temple. After all, the ancient clan is very closed now, and some important supplies are becoming increasingly scarce. The rarer it is. That’s why they choose to take desperate risks.”
This statement is more in line with reality.
The so-called fatalism is illusory. Only the people living well at the moment are the most important.
Hearing this, Lin Mengya couldn't help but have an idea.
"If the ancient tribe just wants to obtain supplies, then we can cooperate."
Elder Mu asked: "What do you mean, madam?"
"I wonder if you know that there is a large chamber of commerce established by my Gong family."
Elder Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said with some excitement: "Is it that big chamber of commerce that claims to be 'a business that has been in business for a hundred generations and benefited the people of the world'?"
Which middle school boy came up with this slogan
Although a little shy, she nodded.
"That's right. The purpose of the establishment of the Great Chamber of Commerce was to connect the entire Weiguo economy. In this way, no matter where you are or what you are doing, you can get the supplies you need and sell them anytime, anywhere. Produce your own products. If the Ancient Clan can also do business with the Great Chamber of Commerce, the material problem will surely be solved."
Elder Mu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"This is the truth. Although our ancient tribe does not have much arable land, it is rich in various mineral resources. If we can cooperate with the big chamber of commerce, why worry about not having supplies?"
mineral!
Lin Mengya's attitude couldn't help but become more enthusiastic.
You must know that the existing minerals in Weiguo are all guarded by their respective families. Let alone buying them at a low price, even if she pays a high price, the other party will still think of killing her.
If we can cooperate with the ancient tribe and establish friendly relations, it can solve the urgent needs of both parties.
"But you, old man, have also seen the current situation. The Elders of the Ancient Clan may have had early thoughts on replacing the temple. I am afraid that this matter will not succeed."
"This matter is not difficult to solve. To put it bluntly, the reason why those people in the Presbyterian Council agreed to the plan of Elder Qi and his group was just because they were forced to panic. If Madam and the Palace Master can trust me, I am willing to take this for you. guest!"
This statement played right into Lin Mengya's wish.
But she still pretended to have eye contact with Long Tianyu.
The latter understood what she meant and immediately said sincerely to Elder Mu: "I'll leave this matter to Elder Mu."
"Palace Master, please rest assured. Although I, Old Mu, do not hold a high position in the Presbyterian Church, I still have a few trustworthy old friends after so many years. When I go back this time, I will immediately convey your wishes to them. The Ancient Clan Presbyterian Church has a large number of people, but not everyone has such ambitions.”
These words made Lin Mengya overjoyed.
It seems that Elder Mu also has his own methods.
It's just that I didn't want to destroy the friendship of the same clan before.
"Okay, I'll go back and draft a letter right now, and let Elder Mu convey it to you!"
After saying that, Lin Mengya was about to leave happily.
Fortunately, Long Tianyu was still relatively rational and grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Don't worry, the problem at hand hasn't been solved yet."
"what is the problem?"
He glanced sideways inside and saw a group of people waiting who were already frightened and trembling.
Only then did she realize it and I remembered that there were still several evils that had not been eliminated.
Immediately, he cleared his throat.
"you
What do they mean? "
As soon as Elder Qi fell, Elder Mu had already switched sides, and when they came, relying on Elder Qi's momentum, they completely offended the three of them.
At this time, several people almost cried on the spot.
"I, we were also deceived by Elder Qi!"
"Yes, he instigated us. Palace Master, Madam, we are also forced to have no choice. Please show your kindness and let us go!"
Although their current attitude towards admitting their mistakes is quite good, Lin Mengya cannot let the tiger go back to the mountain after all.
From Elder Qi's attitude, she had already guessed the Ancient Clan's Presbyterian Council's current attitude towards the temple.
In addition, she still has some things that she hasn't figured out yet, so of course she won't let him go easily.
"Elder Mu, I think your fellow tribesmen can stay as guests in my temple for a few days. After you return safely, I will send them back. What do you think?"
Since they decided to cooperate, these people cannot be killed.
Besides, Elder Qi has already been deposed, which is considered a show of disdain.
In this way, Elder Mu can have an explanation when he returns.
"Okay, let's do what Madam wants first. I will go down the mountain in the next few days and convey your good intentions to the Council of Elders first."
"That's very good."
Hearing this, those people almost cried.
"Elder Mu, considering that we are of the same race, you can't save me from death!"
But Elder Mu sighed.
Last night when they forced their way in, rescued the disciple, and burned Jiang Yingshuang to death alive, did they ever think about the so-called friendship of the same clan
"Don't worry, the palace master and his wife are not murderous people. As long as you don't imitate Elder Qi's domineering attitude, you will be safe."
So far, they can only obey.
Lin Mengya asked people to take these people away, but before leaving, she specifically asked about the disciple's whereabouts.
But the remaining people are Elder Qi's puppets.
All they knew was that the disciple was let go by Elder Qi and went down the mountain overnight.
When Long Tianyu heard about it, he immediately sent people to hunt him down.
But they all know that the chance of catching up is slim.
In the end, Elder Qi ruined a good opportunity to dig out the secret.
After working all night, she finally drafted the letter with the help of Long Tianyu.
After handing the letter to Elder Mu, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Mu was afraid that something might change later, so he left Elder Mao to take care of the remaining people, and took Elder Chang and a few disciples to travel quickly in simple clothes.
In the morning light, she and Long Tianyu bid farewell to Elder Mu.
I hope Elder Mu’s trip goes well.
It was still early, so Long Tianyu forcibly took her back to the room.
But she couldn't sleep for a while, so she had to sit with him and whisper.
"Do you think the relationship between the ancient clan and the temple is a bit strange?"
Even though Elder Qi had the general order from the old temple master, his contempt and disdain for the temple came from a strange place.
Logically speaking, the ancient clan and the temple do not interfere with each other, and no one is nobler than the other.
Can Elder Qi and his group use such stupid methods to cause disputes
"Master has hidden a lot of things from us. Maybe after a while, we can ask him in person."
Long Tianyu also had deep doubts in his eyes.
She lay on his chest and complained casually: "Now we are trapped here. If the empress' matter is not resolved, it will be difficult for us to move forward."
Unexpectedly, Long Tianyu pinched her little hand and gently bit it in his mouth.
"You don't believe in your husband's ability that much?"
Her fingers were itching, and she wanted to pull back, but she couldn't.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but this time, we have really been tricked by others. I get angry when I think about it. It was clearly brought to our door by the empress himself, so why... "
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.
Long Tianyu saw that she suddenly stopped talking, and asked casually: "Why didn't you say anything?"
"Yu, I know the purpose of your visit this time!"
"Oh? Tell me."
"She's here to die!"
Hearing these words, Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Afterwards, Lin Mengya told the clues she had guessed one by one.
"We have never understood why the old nanny attacked the empress, and why there were rumors. Assuming that everything was arranged in advance by the empress, she knew when she would die, so she could arrange it in advance Use hands to spread the word.”
Regarding this point, Long Tianyu put forward different opinions.
"In addition to the queen, the murderer who wants to kill her can also do this."
"No!" She said sternly: "You and I both know the character of the emperor. For being able to accompany the emperor through so many years of ups and downs, the emperor's vision and state of mind are among the best. If the person who designed this matter is The old nanny next to her, it is impossible for her to be unaware of it before. The person who can arrange the date of her death is the only one who is safest. "
Long Tianyu also fell into deep thought.
"Perhaps she had insight into these people's plans in advance and then pretended to cooperate?"
"Right, that is it."
But at the same time, he raised new questions.
"Then what is the purpose of the empress doing this? Is she willing to let her death become a tool used by others to seize the emperor's position?"
This is indeed puzzling.
But the news that came after dawn made the couple suddenly realize.
"Palace Master, madam, there are reports from Longdu that the Emperor was placed under house arrest by his illegitimate son, and was forcibly asked to pass the throne to that illegitimate son. Now, under the banner of 'supporting orthodoxy', that person is calling on various aristocratic families to attack temple!"
"What?"
Lin Mengya was extremely surprised.
Long Tianyu frowned and called the person in.
"say clearly."
"Report to the Palace Master, the self-proclaimed illegitimate son of the Emperor, who has secretly contacted many families who were expelled from the temple before. They said that the existence of the temple is a cancer, an evil heretic who preys on the common people. Therefore, they want to fight for the world. People, clear out the temple."
Long Tianyu's eyes were cold, "I came just in time! It seems that the punishment I gave them before was not enough to impress them."
Next to her, Lin Mengya's expression became increasingly strange.
It was only after Long Tianyu issued a series of orders for them to gather troops and prepare for battle that he noticed the expression on the lady next to him.
"Don't be afraid, these rabble, I will never let them cause any trouble to us."
But Lin Mengya just shook her head and sighed softly.
"Now I finally understand why I have to risk my life."
Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
"It's to take revenge on the emperor, and maybe the temple."
She smiled wryly and shook her head.
The queen is indeed a smart woman, and once a smart woman takes revenge, it will be a real big trouble.
