Lin Mengya took a step back. It was really inconvenient to have only one hand to use.
Although she didn't say it, Lin Mengya was actually afraid that her right hand would be disabled.
It would be a pity if the teacher's needle control skills can no longer be used in the future.
"This dagger is for you, it can protect you."
Long Tianyu put on the leather sheath and pushed it to Lin Mengya.
She also had a sharp dagger before, but it was not as domineering and handy as this one.
"Give it to me? Well, as long as you don't regret it."
Lin Mengya wasn't pretentious. Anyway, with her trouble-making physique, it was best to find someone easy to defend herself from.
"Da Jin lacks such capable people."
Long Tianyu valued Liu Xuan's ability more than she did.
The love for talent is naturally getting stronger. However, Liu Xuan's relationship with the brothers of the Zuo family seems to be very unusual. Even if he wants to poach someone, it seems a little impossible.
"Actually, the territory of Da Jin is much wider than Lintian. It may not be that there are no talents, but it is suffering from the lack of a suitable recommendation system, isn't it?"
Lin Mengya said pointedly, with a small face and an extremely gentle smile. But those bright eyes were shining with a shrewd light.
"Well, that's right. Nowadays, the selection of court personnel is either recommended by officials at all levels; or they are Enke who doesn't know when they will be available. If you encounter a few unlucky ones, you will never be able to do it for the rest of your life. To serve the country.”
Long Tianyu looked at her playful look with admiration in his eyes. Every word she said spoke to his heart.
"It's better to change Enke to once every four years. But it's not just about knowledge. Officials also need all-round talents. Whether they are talented people who are talented in literature or military, wouldn't it be better to give them a chance to express themselves? ?”
Lin Mengya wanted to learn from the ancient imperial examination system. At the same time, she felt that it would be bad if the officials only knew the eight-part essay and became pedantic without knowing how to adapt.
"As expected of my princess, she is indeed beautiful and wise."
Long Tianyu looked at Lin Mengya with great appreciation, and for some reason, he felt a bit proud.
He stretched out his hands and gently hugged her slender waist. He gently carried her to the bed, squatted down, looked into her eyes, and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"I didn't originate this. Don't praise the wrong person. If I embarrass you in the future, it's up to you what you will do!"
Lin Mengya's youngest daughter wrinkled her nose as if she was not used to it. She could praise her Long Tianyu without any concealment.
Maybe it's because, since she was a child, she has been almost alone.
To her, her family is more like a symbol in a book.
But after arriving here, whether it was the girls at home, or her father and brother, she experienced a feeling that she had never experienced before.
Especially since they spent time with Long Tianyu day and night, something between the two of them seemed to be changing bit by bit quietly.
For example, there is a hazy and sweet feeling between two people.
For another example, it was so close that she couldn't help but blush and her heart beat...
"What are you thinking about?"
Long Tianyu saw Lin Mengya lost in thought again, and couldn't help but call her back gently.
He was not used to it. He was clearly right in front of her, but her eyes seemed to be far away from him.
Being so far away made him feel a little uneasy.
"It's nothing. By the way, I'm afraid Cousin Yu won't be able to come back tonight. Get some rest early, we have to be on the road tomorrow."
When she thought of Zuo Qiuyu who was stepped on by someone outside the city today, Lin Mengya couldn't help but smile a little in her eyes.
I don’t know how this Cousin Yu developed such a lively personality.
However, although Cousin Chen looks decent on the surface, in fact, he is also a dark and restless man.
In the memory, the kind-hearted mother with superb medical skills seems to be more popular now.
At the beginning, the encounter between mother and father must have been full of drama, right
She actually became more and more curious!
It was night, Lin Mengya's breathing was even and sweet.
Long Tianyu was lying on the floor, looking at the sleeping person in the gauze tent with a complicated expression.
The emperor's father urgently summoned the two of them back, perhaps because of the new changes in the situation in the palace.
Although, the people he had arranged the deployment before had only received irrelevant news.
But what a shrewd person my father is, I am afraid that he has noticed the undercurrent of the truth beneath the calm surface.
On one side was Lin Mengya, on the other was his country. Such a choice made him a little anxious.
Suddenly, a slight movement came from outside the window.
Long Tianyu sat up vigilantly, and first looked at Lin Mengya, who was not disturbed in any way. Then, he quietly walked out of the house.
In a black alley in the backyard of the inn, Long Tianyu followed the movement and found three black figures standing respectfully deep in the alley.
"See you, my lord!"
The low voice, although it didn't attract too many people's attention, was very loud.
Immediately, three figures knelt down in front of Long Tianyu.
"What's the matter?"
In front of his subordinates, Long Tianyu restrained his tenderness towards Lin Mengya. His whole body was filled with cold air, and his starry eyes were like lightning, which made people feel that they were penetrating into people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, an urgent message has arrived in the capital."
These three people acted as messengers between the capital and Long Tianyu.
Since it was them who came, Long Tianyu guessed that it must be his father who had a new letter.
"Send it up."
He suppressed his helplessness in his heart and just hoped that this letter would not hit his already stressed heart again.
"yes."
Then, a black envelope sealed with fire paint was delivered to Long Tianyu's hands.
Despite his resistance, Long Tianyu still had to open the envelope diligently.
There were only a few words on the letter, but in Long Tianyu's eyes, they were like life-saving straws.
Deep in his eyes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his father finally noticed his intention. If this was the case, then there would be more reasons to accompany Lin Mengya on this journey.
"I already know, do you have anything else to do?"
Long Tianyu calmly put the letter in the envelope, but unexpectedly, the next moment, the envelope suddenly burst into flames.
The cyan flame is not as cool as ordinary flames at all. It does look a bit weird at night.
Long Tianyu let go of his hand and let the flames fly. In an instant, the black letter turned into silver-gray powder, and then quietly dissipated in the air, as if it had never happened before. The other two people disappeared as the letter disappeared. I don’t know when they left.
Only the one in the middle was still kneeling on the ground.
"Reporting to the prince, Jade Bird has already started to take action, and there will be the news you want soon. However, Jade Bird said that the person you want is not in the hands of the mother and son."
The other two are the father's messengers. The remaining one is completely working for him.
This can be regarded as a special treatment from the father. Under the nose of the father, he can have his own power. Even the prince does not have this treatment.
"It's not in their hands? Can Qingniao be sure?"
Although Long Tianyu didn't show any expression on his face, he was a little anxious in his heart.
Mengya has confirmed that the queen indeed knows the whereabouts of her mother and concubine.
Therefore, he had already sent people to infiltrate the queen's interior.
Unexpectedly, the current news is that the mother-in-law is not in the hands of the queen. How is this possible
"Tell Qingniao to continue inquiring and don't act rashly."
"yes."
After accepting his mission, the black shadow disappeared from the dark alley.
Long Tianyu stood in the dark night, but his heart was complicated.
Although he had known for a long time that the queen and the prince were also members of his party.
However, there is great harmony in the world, if the mother-in-law is really sent out of the palace. Not to mention that he was searching so secretly, even if his father ordered a thorough door-to-door search, it would still not be easy to find the mother and concubine.
He is, after all, an unfilial son.
Little did he know that Long Tianyu was outside and had been tossing and turning all night.
Lin Mengya, who had a good night's sleep anyway, was very energetic at the moment.
Zuo Qiuyu was sent back early in the morning by the people from the Sheriff's Mansion.
His arms and legs were intact, but the circles under his eyes looked like marks left by someone's punch.
Lin Mengya watched, not only gloating about the misfortune, but also a little curious.
What happened last night made these two seem like best friends reunited after a long separation. Unexpectedly, he was able to punch each other.
Of course, this is just a little fun for her on the road.
Otherwise, all the people doing nothing but running for their lives would be boring to death.
"Liu Xuan meets the princess, Prince Yu!"
Like Cousin Yu, he refuses to see anyone different as soon as he comes back.
Liu Xuan, the governor of Qingyuan County, looked refreshed.
Yesterday, Lin Mengya knew that this person must have some mysophobia.
Fortunately, she and Long Tianyu had cleaned up carefully last night. Therefore, the way Liu Xuan looked at them today was even more friendly.
Okay, Lin Mengya has to admit it. It must be Zuo Qiuyu's performance last night that allowed Liu Xuan to take revenge.
Immediately, there was a hint of affection for Liu Xuan in his eyes.
It seems that the person who can abuse Cousin Yu like this is not an outsider.
"Master Liu, why do you need to be so polite? Sit down."
Lin Mengya also started to smile. Zuo Qiuyu had just heard that Liu Xuan was coming. He was holding a steel knife and wanted to rush over and find someone to fight for.
But when he saw that his cousin was having a lively conversation with that scumbag, his heart suddenly shivered and he retreated back to his room.
Just kidding, one Liu Xuan is enough for him. Coupled with the fact that he has a deceitful cousin, it would be easier for him to just die!
