Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu acted so quickly, and it took just a few days to convince Wanyanlie.
Fortunately, even if she didn't leave the palace today, Mrs. Jingrou would still have to hide in Fengyu Garden for the whole day. She simply packed up and followed Xiaoyu, sneaking towards the palace gate.
Although there are people coming and going in the palace, no one dares to approach the palace gate.
Now, as Xiaoyu, if you take someone out of the palace, you won't attract anyone's attention.
What's more, even the palace guards are nervously checking their preparations to welcome the high priest and the others.
Seeing this scene, Lin Mengya could somewhat understand why the king was so exhausted.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Although the position of the Great Elder of Baicao Pavilion in the Lintian Kingdom where my cousin is located is not above him, it is just a spiritual symbol and cannot be accommodated by my cousin's size.
What's more, in Lieyun, those aristocratic families not only hold real power, but also have power and power that cannot be ignored.
If you want to remove them and take back the power in their hands, it will be even more difficult.
It is hard to imagine how the king and his wife have persevered in the past few decades.
She also understood that if it weren't for the years of accumulation by the king and his wife, no matter how good she was, she would not be able to turn the tide.
"Hmph, what priests are, they are just ambitious people."
After leaving the palace gate, Xiaoyu sneered, glanced at the soldiers sweeping the road, and said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, keeping them here will only cause greater trouble. However, there is something good to watch this time."
The corners of Lin Mengya's mouth curved, seemingly showing a kind smile, but in fact, the coolness contained in that smile was no different from Xiaoyu's.
"This is not the place to talk. Sister, follow me first."
In the past six months, he has grown from a withdrawn young man to a young master of a force. What he has improved is not only his scheming skills, but also a kind of composure that does not suit his age.
Putting on a cloak that could hide most of her appearance, Lin Mengya followed Xiaoyu nimbly through the streets outside the palace. After secretly meeting with several people, the two of them walked around into a high-walled courtyard.
Seeing Xiaoyu being so cautious, Lin Mengya felt a little relieved.
After all, this child doesn't need her to give advice everywhere, and being forced to grow up is not all bad.
"Who is it! Young Master, go and inform the commander immediately that the Young Master is here!"
As soon as the two entered the door, they were intercepted by a strong figure.
However, Xiaoyu nodded to the other person very calmly, and the person immediately lowered his voice and gave way to the two of them respectfully.
Lin Mengya's gaze lingered on that figure for a moment, and then she quickly withdrew her gaze with some confusion.
Although the man was wrapped in black clothes, his limbs were extremely developed and the proportions of his whole body were a bit uncoordinated, making him look like a strong chimpanzee.
Moreover, she smelled a very familiar smell on that person.
When the arms of those copper slaves were licked/kissed by tongues of fire, they would emit a very strong smell. Now, this man looks somewhat similar to the copper slave.
The only difference is that the copper slaves are walking corpses that have no ability to think at all and have been devoid of all human characteristics.
But the man just now had some abnormalities in his limbs, but his mind was clear and just like a normal person.
It's just that this is a crooked way created by the Zhulong Society. How could there be such a thing on Xiaoyu's side
As soon as she came in, her heart was filled with questions. Lin Mengya could only suppress her worries and follow Xiaoyu into the courtyard.
The yard was not big, but with Lin Mengya's keen perception, she could detect that there seemed to be many people hiding in secret.
Even with her eyesight and observation skills, she couldn't find a few on the surface.
I couldn't help but secretly admire it. This disguise was called professional. It was completely different from the group of people who pretended to be fake when they were in the imperial capital of Jin Dynasty.
Maybe it's because here, if you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Years of turmoil and strife have not only brought people into a state of war, but also allowed these people to hone their military-like will and ability.
Compared with Lieyun, although there are battles between princelings and royalists in the Jin Dynasty, most of them are still at the political and economic level.
Except for the team led by my father, which can still go through the bloody battles, I am afraid that the other teams have long lost their original vigor and are nothing more than paper tigers.
When it comes to fighting for power and position, it is safest to have military power in your hands.
If several surrounding countries had not been able to invade their territory due to various civil strife in the past few decades, the Jin army would have been wiped out long ago.
If a country loses its military effectiveness, it is like a flock of unprotected sheep being targeted by a pack of hungry wolves.
Dajin has been stable for too long. The sleeping lions will either wake up and roar to the sky, or they will have to be replaced by new lions.
Lin Mengya had a lot of thoughts, but she didn't notice for a while that Xiaoyu had led her to an extremely hidden secret room at some point.
When she came to her senses, she was already standing in an airtight secret room.
Looking around, there should be extremely thick stone walls all around. Not to mention someone eavesdropping, even if there is hail outside, no movement can be heard inside.
Although Lieyun had entered early summer, she could still feel a slight chill.
Only then did she realize how prescient the cloak Xiaoyu had prepared for her in advance was.
"This is the place where Uncle Lie and I will discuss important matters. Everything outside is made of seven-foot-thick rocks. It will be absolutely safe here."
Xiaoyu raised her brows, her tone casual, but there was a hint of pride in it.
Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and touched Xiaoyu's head with feeling.
This child really became too much when she didn't see it.
If her sister doesn't work hard, sooner or later, she will be surpassed by this younger brother.
It's not that she is competitive, but she understands that if she doesn't make progress, sooner or later, she will drag down the people she cares about.
No matter what, she can't lose.
"What's wrong?"
Although, I really enjoyed the gentle little hand caressing the top of my head.
But Xiaoyu felt that her sister was a little strange at the moment.
"It's okay, I'm just sighing. Time flies. Even our Xiaoyu has matured to this point. My sister seems a bit useless."
Looking at her silly brother with a smile, Lin Mengya was still evil-minded and pinched her moist little face. Really, the hand feeling is not as good as before.
Although Xiaoyu was thin in the past, she still had the smooth feel of a child.
I don’t know what I ate here. My face is a little puffy, but it feels a little hard in the hand.
If you look closely, you will see that the childish young man's face has become slightly sharper and sharper at some point.
Xiaoyu frowned slightly, but still let her sister's hands continue to knead her face.
It wasn't until a light cough came from behind that Lin Mengya let go of the troublesome hand. Turning around, the smile disappeared from the corners of his eyes and brows, and turned into an extremely polite expression.
"Long time no see, how is King Nanshao doing?"
Wan Yanlie's expression was very serious. As a military commander guarding one side, women could only tremble in front of him, but there had never been one who could be as rude and rude as she was.
For the first time, he could not care about it. After all, she had a life-saving debt to the young master.
But now, she is too ignorant.
After snorting coldly, a pair of sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent.
However, his aura, which seemed to have emerged from the Nine Nether Hell, seemed to have no effect on her.
With a smile on her lips, Lin Mengya turned her back on guests and took the lead in sitting in the seat in the secret room.
His eyes fell on the Nanshao King Wan Yanlie as though he were insignificant. His smile deepened, but his eyes became colder.
"It seems that Your Excellency should be as well as before. Also, you are not the one who feeds flesh and blood to Gu and suffers the pain of thousands of Gu's devouring your heart. Of course, You have nothing to be sad about, right?"
Lin Mengya was sitting on the chair, but her eyes were firmly locked on Wan Yanlie.
The two people's eyes collided invisibly.
One is decisive and powerful, while the other is aloof, cold and aggressive.
In this invisible fight, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
After a long time, the two of them found a tacit understanding and at the same time softened their eyes.
But compared to Lin Mengya's calmness, Wanyan Lie's heart was filled with huge waves.
He only knew that Lin Mengya came from a family of military generals, and he thought she was just a girl with a slightly stronger ambition than ordinary women, but he never thought that her aura was not at a disadvantage in front of him.
If it were her famous father who was here at this moment, Wanyan Lie would only feel honored.
But now, she is obviously just a girl under twenty, why does she have such a tenacious will
Lin Mengya seemed to know the doubts in his heart, and rubbed her sore eyes with her fingers.
This staring contest is really tiring.
However, her father and brother have taught her since she was a child that the most important thing she cannot lose when fighting against others is momentum.
Even if you can't beat someone, you can always bluff him. Otherwise, people would not regard her as an evenly matched opponent.
This is called the loser-no-loser formation!
"Uncle Lie, you should sit down and talk."
After feeling the strong hostility between the two people, Xiaoyu only felt a little embarrassed.
Although he had no hesitation in standing on his sister's side, Uncle Lie had tried his best to protect him from the moment he came back here.
He must not be ungrateful for such kindness.
As a last resort, we can only come out to smooth things over during the temporary truce.
