"Why don't we just keep them here for now. When we get to Lintian Kingdom, we can find a place to settle them down. What do you think?"
The tone of discussion made the cold expression on Long Tianyu's face soften a lot.
After thinking about it, he nodded. But he didn't even give the crying woman a look.
"Okay, since my eldest brother agrees, you can follow me for the time being. Hongyu, you and your sister, please ride in our carriage together."
Hongyu looked at Yuan Lin gratefully. If it weren't for her, Master Yuan Mei might really have killed Sumei, who was struggling with her.
Although Sumei burst into tears and smiled, she kept saying thank you to the two Young Masters Yuan.
However, what she fears most is that this girl has some inappropriate thoughts.
Alas, I hope my little sister is just acting on a whim.
Three more people were crammed into the already small carriage space. Except for Axiu who was surprisingly popular, Hongyu and Sumei could only huddle in the corner.
Lin Mengya didn't like Sumei's weak and stalking look.
But due to Hongyu's reputation, it was difficult for her to have an attack.
As soon as the carriage left Sifang Town, Lin Mengya got out of the carriage and found a horse to ride on, citing the excuse of getting some fresh air.
"There's no need to pretend to be so pitiful. Brother Xiao Yuan will do what you do, but others won't do what you do. Sister Hongyu, take care of your sister, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless. noodle."
Axiu said quietly, with a somewhat innocent smile on her cute little face.
"Miss Axiu, actually, I'm just... just scared."
Sumei smiled awkwardly, but a few tears fell from her watery eyes.
He looked pitiful, with his body curled up into a ball. It seemed that Axiu had bullied her.
"Are you scared? Why don't you pull someone else's leg when you're scared? You just want to pull Brother Dayuan's leg. Okay, even if you're scared, not far away is the boundary of Lintian Kingdom. You and you Sister, you can live a good life there. Don’t worry, no one will know what happened to your sister. Do you think this is good? "
Axiu said with a smile, but her gaze became sharper and sharper.
"No! Since Mr. Yuan has said that he can take me in, then I am his. Besides, she is not my sister, she is just an unclean woman! If I live with her, in the future, if I To become that kind of woman, she should—"
With a "pop" sound, Axiu gave Sumei a slap in the mouth without mercy.
The smile on her face instantly retracted, and her gaze was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Sumei's heart.
"Don't forget, what did you do when we were locked up together! Now she is said to be an unclean woman. Without her, you would have been sold to some brothel by now!"
Sumei looked at Axiu blankly, her lips trembling, but she didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Axiu looked at the duplicitous woman with disdain. There were some things she didn't want to say clearly. It's also because it's really difficult for Ruby to be caught in the middle.
"If you don't want me to tell you all those things, you'd better be wiser."
After Axiu finished speaking, she turned her head and looked out the window.
Bai Shao and Hong Yu, although they don’t know what happened between them.
However, she always felt that this Sumei was not as innocent as she seemed.
Lin Mengya rode her horse leisurely, with Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu following side by side on both sides of her.
The three of them were in an eerie silence, with no one willing to speak first to break the awkward situation.
But Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu's eyes were secretly on Lin Mengya. Occasionally when their eyes met, they couldn't help but glare at each other.
"I want to tell you something."
Lin Mengya, who had calmed down from her own thoughts, thought for a while and decided that she should give Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu a warning.
"What?"
The two people answered at the same time, which was not an ordinary tacit understanding.
However, after realizing that they were in sync with each other, they still looked very childish and glared at each other.
"Someone is already targeting me. Last night, I met the owner of Huichun Square. I thought I could hide it from him, but I didn't expect that he already knew my true identity."
The expressions of Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu were frozen for a moment.
Both of them are deeply involved in the vortex of the struggle for imperial power. Lin Mengya's words gave them a taste of crisis.
"Are you from the prince?"
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Yu asked quietly as if facing a formidable enemy.
"No, the prince does not have such great ability. Mengya, have you discovered anything?"
When it came to business, Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu stopped arguing.
Although the prince was a thorny problem, Long Tianyu still knew very well how much the mother and son weighed.
If the prince's hand could be stretched out so long, then the mother and son would not take advantage of their father's illness to do such shameful things.
"Perhaps, it has something to do with White Dragon and Black Tiger. I think they are more than just a human trafficking organization. Among other things, there is a hidden courtyard in Huichunfang with carved beams and painted buildings. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. It started. Even in Kyoto, it is very rare. Besides, I heard from people inside that such a courtyard is not the only one."
The soft spring breeze blew gently over Lin Mengya's inner cheeks, and the lingering hot feeling also dissipated a lot.
Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu were also lost in their own thoughts. Like Lin Mengya, they also had their own doubts.
However, after thinking for a long time, the two of them made up their minds to protect Lin Mengya every step of the way before returning to Kyoto.
"Forget it, let's stop thinking about it. At least they don't want my life. I just need to be more careful. I think they designed me because they have some concerns. Otherwise, just come and catch me. People will be fine.”
Lin Mengya is indeed Lin Mengya, even though the situation is not good for her. But at least, you can now find conditions that are favorable to you.
Long Tianyu nodded. In fact, he thought the same as Lin Mengya.
The kingdom of heaven is coming soon, and the power of him and the Lin family may still have some effect in Jin.
But in other countries, his identity with the Lin family is also a bit sensitive, and I'm afraid they are out of reach.
"As long as we get past that chasm, we won't be in much danger."
Qiu Yu, who had seemed a little timid along the way, now felt somewhat inexplicably confident.
Tilting her head and looking at him, Lin Mengya had some obvious doubts in her eyes.
It's strange that when this guy was in Kyoto, he was a master who didn't even dare to offend the imperial court.
Why did he arrive at Lintian Kingdom? Instead, he seemed to feel confident.
"Hey, don't even think about asking. All of this is a secret. You will understand when the time comes."
Yep, that's another sell-off.
Lin Mengya didn't bother to press him. Anyway, Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu were both of the same virtue. What they don't want to say, even if they hold a knife to their neck, they won't utter a single word.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the caravan had been gone for most of the day.
Lintian Kingdom is located in the south, surrounded by the sea on three sides. The climate is also much humid than that of Dajin.
Therefore, along the way, Lin Mengya had a feeling of going from early spring to late spring.
Although the two countries do not have a close relationship, there is no city gate set up at the border. On the contrary, there is a Tongshi where merchants from both countries are mixed. If you want to enter or exit the Tongshi, you only need to go to the entrances at both ends of the Tongshi to find officials from the two countries.
The residents here, living together as if they were singing, have long been in the same spirit, and there is no difference.
"If there was no war and all countries were in such harmony, that would be the blessing of the people of Li."
Sitting on the horse, Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh.
She was born into a family of generals, and although she had never been on the battlefield, growing up, her father's colleagues and lieutenants all talked about the tragic wars.
Maybe you can't feel the cruelty between words. However, there are many uncles and uncles who have come to the Lin family, but after a certain expedition, they may never come back.
Her father once took her to attend the funeral of an uncle, a lieutenant general.
The whole family cried heartbroken. Even though she was still an idiot back then, she never wanted to accompany her father to the funeral again.
If there were no wars between countries, perhaps those uncles and uncles could still be with their wives and children.
It's a pity that as long as ambition exists in this world, this kind of barbaric plunder and cruel war will never stop.
"Maybe it will come true one day in the future, but now, this peaceful situation will not last long."
Qiu Yu sighed regretfully, but then he closed his mouth again.
Lin Mengya, who didn't know much about these government affairs, looked at him suspiciously.
But the other party just smiled at himself and stopped giving any explanation.
He couldn't help but give Qiu Yu a big roll of his eyes. This kind of person is the most annoying. Always speak half and leave half.
Mr. Guo is considered an old man in this city. With his face, he also gave some benefits to the customs clearance officials of the two countries. Soon, the caravan passed through Tongshi and reached the boundary of Lintian Kingdom.
Looking back, it is still early spring in Dajin. But Lintian Kingdom, dozens of miles away, was full of green.
"Not far ahead, there will be an apricot blossom forest. At this time of year, it looks like powdery snow, which is really beautiful."
Qiu Yu's brows were filled with joy for some unknown reason.
There was also an unusual excitement in his eyes, not like a visitor, but like someone returning home.
Lin Mengya seemed to have guessed something, but she just smiled and shook her head, not exposing him.
"But after passing through the apricot blossom forest, you will reach the most dangerous place. Remember, be careful."
