Lin Mengya watched them fighting dog-eat-dog coldly. She had been guessing the identity of the young man from the moment he appeared.
It wasn't until the moment she saw Baili Ji being angry but afraid to speak that she finally confirmed her answer.
Baili Ji covered his face and said harshly, "Don't think you can sit back and relax relying on Baili Xiao! He is just a dog under someone else's hands!"
The young man's expression changed, he narrowed his eyes and warned in a cold voice, "Master Ji, there are some things you should not say nonsense."
Baili Ji shrank his neck and left with his people with a guilty look on his face.
Lin Mengya didn't care about the confrontation between them and stepped forward to help Bai Su up.
"Are you okay?"
she asked worriedly.
Although this was what she and Bai Su had agreed upon, those people just now were really too mean.
Bai Su shook her head and looked behind her with a wary expression.
Now the troublemaker is gone, and the real owner has finally arrived.
Lin Mengya turned around, with a hint of impatience in her expression.
"Can I go now?"
The young man apologized sincerely.
"It's our fault that has disturbed you. Please give us a chance to make up for it."
Make up for it? That’s nice to say.
She didn't understand that Baili Ji was just cannon fodder.
She pretended to be angry and said coldly, "What if I don't go with you?"
The young man frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"To be honest, my master sincerely invites you. If you don't go, I'm afraid my master will be disappointed."
"Ha." She sneered and said sarcastically, "So it turns out that forcing others to do something difficult is your Baili family's way of hospitality."
There was no trace of embarrassment on the man's face, he was just as calm and gentle as ever.
But there was a slightly cold and unquestionable tone in his tone.
"My master said that the master of the Gong family is a smart man."
Before he finished speaking, the dozen or so guards around him narrowed the circle of encirclement with eager eyes.
She was obviously at a disadvantage, but at this moment, she had a smile on her lips.
The young man's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and uneasiness filled his heart. It seemed that inviting her back today would not be a good thing.
Just when he hesitated, Lin Mengya said calmly, "Okay, I can go with you, but you must let my people go."
The young man immediately promised, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you."
Then he ordered his men to make way.
Lin Mengya patted Bai Su on the shoulder, and the latter's eyes were filled with concern for her.
She lowered her voice and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." Bai Su nodded towards her and limped away.
At this time, the young man said anxiously, "Master Gong, can we leave now?"
She nodded, and when she turned around, she saw a blue-gold skirt appearing under the trees.
Mrs. Jiang took Jiang Ruqin and hurried to the place where they separated just now.
Unfortunately, the place was already deserted, and her daughter-in-law was nowhere to be seen.
Mrs. Jiang blamed herself very much. Why did she lose Ya'er without paying attention just now.
Next to her, Jiang Ruqin looked at the empty pavilion, but her heart felt happy after a great revenge was avenged.
If Lin Mengya hadn't been in the way, why would she have to suffer all this?
However, he still pretended to be anxious on his face and comforted Mrs. Jiang softly.
"My cousin is now an adult. Maybe she got bored and went back to the carriage to wait for us."
Mrs. Jiang also hoped that it was what she said, but for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong.
"Ruqin, why don't you go back and take a look for your aunt?"
However, Jiang Ruqin held Mrs. Jiang's hand and said in a considerate manner, "How can I make my aunt tired? It's better for my aunt to go take a look. I'll look for my cousin here."
Mrs. Jiang agreed, feeling a little relieved in her heart.
Little did he know that just after she left, Jiang Ruqin changed her face.
"Where are people being held?"
she asked bluntly.
The maid who had no presence beside her but had been following her said coldly, "This is not something that a girl should care about."
When Jiang Ruqin heard this, she looked back and wanted to slap the maid.
But I don't want to be grabbed by the wrist.
"Let me go, you cheap maid!"
She shouted angrily, but the maid didn't give her any face, and instead threatened her in a low voice.
"Girl, you'd better know where this place is. If it alerts the people around you and ruins my master's important affairs, she can't afford it."
Jiang Ruqin had to bow her head temporarily, but she hated the maid in her heart, and even the joy of seeing her enemy's misfortune was reduced by half.
She shook off the maid's hand and said with a sneer, "Now everyone is chasing that idiot Baili Ji. Who will notice?"
She softened her attitude slightly, but there was still a hint of schadenfreude in her tone.
"Besides, I'm doing this for your own good. That woman is the most cunning and weird. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle her."
The maid was unmoved, but still insisted that she leave quickly.
Jiang Ruqin felt that Lin Mengya's bitch was really lucky, otherwise, she would always make that bitch look good!
He gave the maid a blank look and left angrily.
Lin Mengya has no way of knowing how Jiang Ruqin deceived Mrs. Jiang.
After she was taken away by the young man, she did not leave the garden directly, but was locked in one of the cellars.
It's not humid here, and there's not much smell of dust in the air. It's obvious that people use it frequently.
She sat on the chair, tapping her forehead with her fingers, rolling her eyes, thinking about the other party's purpose.
Soon, the young man left and returned.
She changed her posture and sat upright and looked at the other person.
"May I know what you want from me?" .??.
She went straight to the point, leaving the young man speechless for a moment.
"My master will inform Master Gong of these matters. Please wait patiently."
Lin Mengya shook her head and said, "I don't think he will come."
The young man was shocked in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
He just looked at her calmly and smiled modestly.
"Master Gong's meaning, please forgive me for being stupid, I really can't understand it."
"No, you are very smart. You know that I already knew that you were using Baili Ji, so you chose to abandon this bait, and even regarded yourself as a trophy to lure me to take the initiative."
Negotiating with Lin Mengya is not an easy task.
There was even a thin layer of sweat on the young man's stiff back.
"It's just a coincidence. Not everyone is as smart as you."
At this point, you are still flattering me.
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and said directly, "You are right, there are not many people with heads like mine in thousands of years. But you also know a saying, cleverness can lead to mistakes. I am sometimes very suspicious,
I always have an inexplicable self-confidence and always feel that everything is under my control. Therefore, when I see a very obvious trap, I will not flinch, and I will step forward without hesitation. Either way.
Either make moves or change from passive to active. Tell me, am I right in summing up?"
Opposite me, the young man gave up his disguise for the first time and looked at the woman with a pair of uninterested eyes.
"Since the Master of the Gong family knows everything, why make things so embarrassing? Besides, I really don't have any ill intentions towards you. As long as the Master of the Gong family stays here honestly for a day, I guarantee that you will not lose a hair.
.”
Hearing this, Lin Mengya raised the corners of her lips and smiled in a strange way.
"I may not be as smart as you, but I am a good person. I know myself When it doesn’t work, I will listen to others.”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something.
He stood up immediately, and just as he was about to climb up from the cellar to see what was going on outside, a man flew down from the wellhead, and the sword was instantly pressed against his neck.
"Smart people generally have a shortcoming, that is, they believe in themselves too much and think that they are the smartest one in the world. But unfortunately, I have always known that there are people smarter than me. So this time, I
Choose to listen to him."
She smiled with a knife in her mouth and said coldly, "Take them away and go back and interrogate them properly."
After leaving the dark cellar, she squinted her eyes and looked towards the horizon.
Yu's prediction was correct, their target was still him.
There is no danger on her side, but I wonder how things are progressing on his side.
After Lin Mengya went out, Long Tianyu received a note.
The content above is very simple. Make an appointment with him and meet him at the blacksmith shop in the east of the city an hour later.
Narrowing his long eyes, he stroked his long sword.
Ya'er had already made careful arrangements, and even this time, in order to ensure that the play was realistic, even Ya'er didn't know his arrangements clearly.
Things turned out just as he expected, someone wanted to threaten him through Ya'er.
Instructing the secret guard to act according to the plan, he came to the blacksmith shop in the east of the city as promised.
The shop in front of me has been abandoned for a long time, and it has long lost its original bustling scene.
He stood at the door, his handsome face darkening, making it impossible to understand his emotions.
With a creaking sound, the old wooden door opened from the inside.
He heard a hoarse voice coming from inside: "Since you are here, please come in."
Striding inside, Long Tianyu straightened his back, like a cheetah ready to attack, ready to tear apart the prey in front of him at any time.
On the long table inside, a black figure sat.
The man was shrouded in a thick cloak, and even if he couldn't see clearly, he could still detect his fatigue.
"Ahem, sit down."
His throat was like an old bellows, and it seemed that the next moment this person would be unable to breathe and would fall to the ground.
Long Tianyu sat silently opposite the man, with a pair of eagle eyes staring closely at the other man's every move.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we had such a heart-to-heart talk."
The man said, lifting his hood.
A pale face appeared in front of him.
The facial features like a knife are no longer as handsome and dazzling as before due to the ravages of time.
Long Tianyu's eyes narrowed sharply, how could it be him?
