"I won't force you anymore. Cousin Chen has already decided on the candidates before he came. This time, when everything is settled, you can choose to come back to Dajin with us. At least there, there is no one there. It will force you to take responsibility.”
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes, looking calm, as if she didn't care whether Zuo Qiuyu would agree.
But the more she said this, the more uncomfortable Zuo Qiuyu felt.
The heavy guilt almost seemed to overwhelm him.
After struggling for a long time, he sighed painfully and said:
"I go."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at Zuo Qiuyu with a bit of surprise in her eyes.
"What?"
Zuo Qiuyu also made up his mind. He no longer wanted to escape from his own responsibilities.
"I said, I'm going to participate in the medical competition. And please help me, I must win. Only in this way, brother Huang, will have no worries."
Lin Mengya lowered her head and hid her smile, not letting Zuo Qiuyu notice the triumph in her eyes.
"You have to think clearly, once we are involved in this turmoil, Long Tianyu and I can leave at any time. But once you win, let alone Lintian Kingdom. Even if you leave the old capital, you will It will become a big event. From now on, the days of idle clouds and wild cranes will be gone, and the boring and boring life will be filled with your next days. Are you really ready?"
Although it was clear that Lin Mengya was telling the truth.
But Zuo Qiuyu was still determined to participate in the competition.
Seeing him like this, Lin Mengya felt relieved.
"But... But I heard that it's a bit late to sign up now. What should I do? Oh, it's all my fault. If I had figured it out earlier, I wouldn't have -"
Zuo Qiuyu was a little annoyed, but then he remembered that he needed to register to participate in this competition.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Cousin Chen has already found a connection. I think it won't be difficult for him as an emperor to get a lot of people in."
She used her tea cup to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth. In fact, from the day she first entered the old capital, Lin Mengya secretly asked Liu Xuan to use Zuo Qiuyu's seal to register for the competition.
Poor Zuo Qiuyu had no idea that he had already been plotted by those two people.
"Princess Qi, people outside have reported that those tails have followed into the city."
Yu'an suddenly came to report, but brought news that was definitely not good news for Lin Mengya.
It came so quickly, earlier than Long Tianyu expected.
However, since people have already eagerly defected to her, she can't let people see her, can she
"Okay, I understand. By the way, do you know if there are any gambling houses or the like in this old capital?"
Lin Mengya's words made the two people in the room feel a little strange.
Gambling house? This is not like Lin Mengya's usual hobby.
"Yes, there are, but because there are too many new faces in the old capital these days. So at this time, no matter which gambling house it is, it is already full. The princess's daughter has a precious body, a place like this, I'm afraid Not safe.”
Yu'an carefully dissuaded him. When he came, His Majesty gave him many instructions, asking him to serve the princess well.
The gambling house was full of good and bad people, and the principal was gone, so he had to stir up some trouble.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just put on men's clothes. Just wait for me. Let's go out and have fun."
After saying that, Lin Mengya returned to her room and changed into men's clothes.
Only Yu'an and Zuo Qiuyu were left, staring helplessly with big eyes and small eyes.
If something unexpected happened, the two of them would be eternal sinners.
However, seeing Lin Mengya's cheerful expression after changing into men's clothes, they had no choice but to follow behind them silently, acting as Lin Mengya's guardians.
After leaving Prince Baodi, we had just turned two streets, and the number of people on the street gradually increased.
Most of the places where they live are the mansions of dignitaries. Ordinary people would not go there.
Gambling houses, pubs and other places of entertainment are the busiest streets in the old capital.
If it weren't for Yu'an and Zuo Qiuyu, one on the left and one on the right, tightly protecting Lin Mengya in the middle. I'm afraid, it's already difficult to move forward at this time.
"So many people? It seems that this medical competition is really important to the people of Lintian Kingdom."
Lin Mengya murmured in a low voice. This was the first time in her life that she had seen the bustling scene on the street.
It is almost comparable to a spring outing organized by the university during the short holiday.
No matter where you go to see the scenic spots, you just go to see the heads. If you have trypophobia, you will be depressed to death.
"Yes, Young Master is right. We, the people of Lintian Kingdom, take it as an honor to participate in the medical competition. However, Young Master, let's go back. There are too many people here and it is not safe."
While Yu'an stretched out her hand to block those people who were rushing towards Lin Mengya, she humbly begged this living ancestor.
But Lin Mengya, who had sharp eyes, saw the gambling house hidden deep in the alley from a distance.
Commanding their second general Heng Ha, the three of them relied on brute force all the way. In the shortest possible time, he swam upstream and squeezed into the entrance of the gambling house.
"This is it. Come on, let's go in and take a look."
On the spacious door, the big four characters "Heng Yun Gambling House" look different from others.
The dark blue curtain blocks the inquiring sight of people outside.
Lin Mengya looked at it up and down and decided that it was it.
This gambling shop is the largest in the surrounding area.
Moreover, Lin Mengya discovered that most of the people coming and going here were luxuriously dressed people.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of owner usually has some wealth.
She doesn't have much interest in winning those hard-earned money. If you want to win, get the big ticket.
I rushed into the gambling house. As soon as I entered the door, I could hear the shouts of winning and losing bets.
As expected, this family's business is booming, with Siezi Paijiu Bridge and everything from looking at skills to gambling on luck.
Just like other gambling dens, there are some who are smiling, and there are also those who are so frowning that they can kill a mosquito.
Lin Mengya curiously looked left and right, but the two people followed her closely without looking away.
The three people were dressed very low-key, but this gambling house was not like anywhere else. Those who can fool around here have developed a pair of piercing eyes.
Soon, a pair of shrewd eyes focused on three people.
Lin Mengya was standing curiously next to a table, staring at the dice cup.
"It's open! It's open! It's open! One, two, four!"
Some people buy both large and small ones, but obviously, more people buy larger ones.
At this time, those people could only watch helplessly as the money that just belonged to them had now gone into other people's pockets.
However, Lin Mengya's face showed something like this.
There was no surprise at all, as if it had been expected that the result would be like this.
"This young master seems to be very confident. Why don't you come down and play some games with all the young masters?"
A crisp but polite female voice sounded from behind Lin Mengya.
She turned her head and saw an extremely simple and elegant face.
The person who came was only about thirty years old and was wearing a plain white sarong. He only wore a simple silver hairpin on his head, with willow eyebrows, slender eyes, and a three-point smile at the corner of his mouth.
It was originally a very ordinary appearance, but here, it became a little more calm and calm.
Although she is a woman, everyone in the gambling house seems to have great respect for this woman.
Even the croupier at the table where she was sitting nodded respectfully to this woman.
After thinking about it, Lin Mengya understood. If this person is not the owner of the casino, he must be a big player.
"Ma'am, you're joking. I just came out of a remote country. I finally got here. I just came to see the world."
Lin Mengya also treated him with courtesy. After all, someone who can gain a foothold in the largest gambling house is definitely not a simple character.
"Young Master is really humble. It's not easy to be away from home. Everyone is trying to have a good time. When I saw Young Master, I felt like I was destined to be with him. There are many people here who talk a lot, and for a person like Young Master who is so polished, be careful of such dirty talk. Your anger is dirty. Why don't you follow me to the back hall to have a look. It's quiet and fun there, and it's not as crazy as the one in front of you. Sir, are you okay?"
Lin Mengya was a little wary, but when she glanced at them, she saw a few slightly familiar figures who had just entered the door.
Not caring much, Lin Mengya immediately smiled and said:
"That's what I'm looking for, and I'd like to ask Madam to lead the way."
The woman smiled and led the three of them there herself.
The Tails, who had just discovered the target's traces, were blocked by a few burly men.
After entering the back room, Lin Mengya made sure that she got rid of those tails, and then she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived in the old capital, the tails became even bolder.
In the past, I just dared to follow quietly from a distance.
Now, I don't know whether he was too anxious or fearless, but he followed her all the way to the gambling house.
However, it doesn't mean that she is 100% safe now.
Looking around, she originally thought that this woman was taking her to a more secret casino.
Unexpectedly, this man actually led them all the way to the backyard of the gambling house.
Compared with the hustle and bustle in the front, although the back cannot be called exquisite, it is much quieter.
"Master, please take a seat, Min'er will serve tea."
The square courtyard was neatly tidied.
The woman took the three of them to a stone chair and table in the middle of the yard and said politely.
After Lin Mengya and the other two looked at each other, she could only hold back her thoughts for the time being and wait and see what this woman had planned.
"Young master, don't worry. By the way, my name is Fang Gu, and I am the manager of this Hengyun Gambling House. I just feel that the master seems to have some fate with me. I took the liberty to invite you in, and please come with you." My friend, please forgive me."
