"It's okay, I'm fine."
Lin Mengya, who is nearly five months pregnant, is still very flexible, and her belly is not as bulging as that of ordinary pregnant women.
As long as you wear some slightly looser clothes, you can easily cover it up.
Besides, not many people knew that she was pregnant, and these suggested that it would be better for her to handle the matter in a low-key manner.
After getting off the carriage, Lin Mengya looked around.
This is where the king and Wanyan Lie agreed to send Axiu.
The size of the city is not small, and it looks very bustling with people coming and going.
If you want to hide someone here, it's really not easy to find them.
The residential house in front of her was very inconspicuous, and there was nothing special about it from the outside.
"This is the place we selected before. It's just that the people who responded here never saw any trace of Axiu and Uncle Lie. But the people who responded at the city gate said that they really saw them coming in. It's impossible for this person to Did it just disappear into thin air?”
This was something Xiaoyu couldn't figure out no matter how hard she thought about it. Lin Mengya nodded and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
This area should be a residential area in the city. Judging from the surrounding architectural style and newness, the people who can live here are usually small officials or ordinary people with wealthy families.
Generally, places like this are not particularly chaotic, and the security environment is pretty good.
This alley is spacious and bright, with bustling streets leading from front to back, making it feel like it is hidden from the world.
She stepped into the door in front of her, and the yard she entered was spacious and bright.
Moreover, the decoration here is different from the simplicity outside. It has everything that should be there, and considering Axiu's status, all the best things on the market are used.
In the courtyard, five servants knelt there tremblingly, obviously afraid that these nobles would blame them for the crime.
After Lin Mengya looked at them one by one, she felt that there was nothing unusual about these five people.
"Guest, have you really never been here?"
Seeing the beautiful woman in the middle speak, the middle-aged man in charge immediately replied.
"As far as I can tell you, the two distinguished guests did not come to the door. The younger one went out early in the morning to wait, and he didn't even see the distinguished guests."
Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, and she looked around.
Even if you walk from the city gate to this house, it will not take more than an hour.
Everything was normal when Wanyan Lie and Axiu entered the city. What happened in this short hour
He waved his hand and asked the frightened five people to retreat.
Xiaoyu immediately helped Lin Mengya sit on the chair in the main hall. Bai Su offered a cup of fruit milk made from fruit. Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"How long does it take to get here from the royal city?"
Lin Mengya, who was thoughtful, asked a question casually, and Xiaoyu, who had been waiting by the side, answered immediately.
"If you ride a horse, it will take about a day and a half. If you ride a carriage, it will take at least two days. And this is not the only way to enter and exit the royal city, so-"
Lin Mengya heard Xiaoyu's words very clearly, and she also knew that if Wanyanlie had taken Axiu away beforehand, there would be no need for him to come here.
As long as you make a turn on the road, you can take A Xiu away.
But he still brought Axiu here according to the original plan.
That could only mean one thing, maybe Wanyan Lie hadn't changed his mind just before entering the city.
But within just one hour, what made him suddenly change his mind
"Have your people ever chased them out along this road? There should be an agreed-upon location and hidden line between you and Wanyan Lie, right? Hasn't Wanyan Lie ever used these people before?"
Xiaoyu shook her head, her delicate face full of helplessness.
If Wan Yanlie had contacted him, he wouldn't have to be so anxious.
Lin Mengya put down the tea cup in her hand, but her brain was running rapidly.
It is said that the geese leave traces, and given Wanyan Lie's status, even if the traces he left were carefully covered up, he would probably leave even more traces.
What's more, judging from his previous behavior, Lin Mengya felt that Wanyan Lie didn't seem to have a plan in advance.
In this case, if you want to avoid everyone's sight, there is a high possibility that Wanyan Lie and A Xiu are still hiding in this city.
If this is the case, things will be much easier for her.
"Send someone to search secretly. Maybe Axiu and Wanyanlie haven't left yet."
Xiaoyu hesitated after hearing this, and then said with a wry smile.
"My father and I have also thought about it, but we have secretly searched the city and still haven't seen any trace of them."
Lin Mengya smiled and looked at Xiaoyu tenderly.
"You are familiar with Wanyan Lie, and Wanyan Lie is not familiar with you. Think about it, he has money and no one at hand now. Once he contacts his former subordinates, you will notice. And I think he seemed to have done it on the spur of the moment. In this case, even his confidants may not have time to react. And then, when you realize that the person is missing, the first thing you think of is to monitor his confidants. So if I am completely If it were Yan Lie, I would choose to stay here. But at the same time, he also knows that you will search like this. In this case, isn't it too easy to avoid you? "
Lin Mengya knows the meaning of darkness under the lamp, and Wanyanlie is also a master of maneuvering.
It was easy for Wanyan Lie to avoid the king's search.
"This is indeed the truth, but as my sister said, I am very familiar with my father's ways, Uncle Lie. So... then what should we do so as not to alarm Uncle Lie?"
Lin Mengya smiled, and her smile was a little evil, just like the devil's smile every time she wanted to cause trouble.
"This is simple, just come here."
Xiaoyu stretched out his head suspiciously. After Lin Mengya whispered a few words in his ear, the latter's face immediately showed a different kind of brilliance.
"Sister, is this okay?"
Although Xiaoyu has tried her best, she is still a pure and innocent young man, and cannot be as bold as a married woman like Lin Mengya.
After the latter gave her a wrapped look, the old god leaned back on his chair.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to your sister if I take action. Just do as I say, and I guarantee that Wanyan Lie won't notice."
Xiaoyu finally trusted Lin Mengya, gritted her teeth, and left in a hurry.
Lin Mengya slumped in her chair with no time to spare. These days, she would just wait to watch the show.
As the largest city near the Royal City, Ancheng has been a source of panic recently.
Especially for some families with eldest daughters, the situation is even more tense and everyone is in danger.
The reason is that there is a flower picking thief in Ancheng.
Speaking of this flower-picking thief, he is a big scourge to Ancheng.
It is said that he came from other places, and he has wanted warrants from many counties.
This person is superb in martial arts, but his methods are extremely bad.
Although the flower-picking thief did not harm the eldest daughter of any family, he had a special habit of stealing other girls' intimate clothes.
After stealing, they would also comment on the embroidery work and fabric.
The most annoying thing is that he will write all his preferences on that piece of clothing, and then hang it on the beam of the main hall of the house.
As for the judging criteria, they vary from one star to five stars.
So far, the tallest one is the fourth lady of the city lord's family, both in terms of material and workmanship, she got a high score of four and a half.
It is said that the fourth young lady's first reaction when she saw her bellyband was that she was so angry that she cried. And the reason was that the pervert didn't give her a full five stars.
But despite this, Ancheng was in a state of turmoil.
Anyone with a little extra money at home would hire a few people with martial arts skills to take care of the home.
In a family without money, of course it is the father and brother who bear this responsibility. As for those who had neither money nor fathers and brothers, the government had no choice but to open a large house where these girls could be gathered and cared for by government officials.
Even so, the flower-picking robbers succeeded frequently, and Ancheng was already in chaos.
"Tsk, girl, how long do you want me to do such a boring thing?"
In an inconspicuous residence in Ancheng, Qinghu looked at the bellyband of the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Yes, they are the culprits who caused chaos in Anjo.
But every time the person who comes in and out of a woman's boudoir is Bai Su in disguise, and things like hanging in the main room are all done by Qinghu.
The person in charge of scoring was, of course, Lin Mengya herself.
"Soon, it will only take a few days."
She didn't want to continue making trouble. In fact, the girls in the houses that were robbed all knew that the so-called flower picker was a woman.
But women's thoughts are so strange. The first person to have this happen was the family they arranged.
But ever since I heard that someone would be scoring, starting from the second family, the girl actually acquiesced.
Despite how loud their fathers and brothers are, in fact, there are many informal girls who even secretly hang their best bellybands on the windows, just waiting for flower pickers to steal them, and check their own ratings by the way. .
Of course, only they and the girls knew about this. They all knew each other tacitly, and it was a tacit understanding.
However, Lin Mengya was once again stunned by the unrestrained spirit of Lieyun's girls. If this was done in Dajin, a few lives would be lost.
In the words of one of the girls, whoever has a higher score means that his craftsmanship is better.
This way, when you get married in the future, you will have a certificate.
Seeing how this kind of thing was turned into something that the girl could use to show off when she got married in the future, even Lin Mengya had not expected this result.
"Do you think Wanyan Lie will really show up? That old guy is not simple. If we do this, if we can't force him out, we will be able to alert the snake."
Although Qinghu was indifferent to this kind of thing, he still felt that it was a waste of time.
