"Why don't we just keep them for now. When we get to Lintian Kingdom, we can find a place to settle them down. What do you think?"
The tone of discussion made the cold expression on Long Tianyu's face soften a lot.
After thinking about it, he nodded. But he didn't even look at the crying woman.
"Okay, since my eldest brother agrees, you can follow me for the time being. Hongyu, you and your sister can ride in our carriage together."
Hongyu looked at Yuan Lin with gratitude. If it weren't for her, Master Yuan Mei might really have killed Sumei, who was struggling with her.
Although Sumei burst into tears and laughed, she kept saying thank you to the two Young Masters Yuan. .??.
However, what she fears most is that this girl has some inappropriate thoughts.
Alas, I hope my little sister is just acting on a whim.
Three more people were crammed into the already small carriage space. Except for Axiu, who was surprisingly popular, Hongyu and Sumei could only huddle in the corner.
Lin Mengya didn't like Sumei's weak and stalking look.
But due to Hongyu's reputation, it was difficult for her to have an attack.
The carriage had just left Sifang Town. Lin Mengya got out of the carriage on the pretext of getting some fresh air and found a horse to ride on.
"There's no need to pretend to be so pitiful. Brother Xiao Yuan will do what you do, but others won't do what you do. Sister Hongyu, right, take care of your sister, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless.
noodle."
Axiu said quietly, with a somewhat innocent smile on her cute little face.
"Miss Axiu, actually, I'm just scared."
Sumei smiled awkwardly, but a few tears fell from her watery eyes.
She looked pitiful, with her body curled up into a ball. It seemed that Axiu had bullied her.
"Are you scared? Why don't you pull someone else's leg if you're scared? You just want to pull Brother Dayuan's leg. Okay, even if you're frightened, not far away is the boundary of Lintian Kingdom. You and you
Sister, you can live a good life there. Don’t worry, no one will know what happened to your sister. Do you think this is good? "
Axiu said with a smile, but her gaze became sharper and sharper.
"No! Since Young Master Yuan has said that he can take me in, then I am his. Besides, she is not my sister, she is just an unclean woman! If I live with her, in the future, if I
To become that kind of woman, she should——"
With a "pop" sound, Axiu gave Sumei a slap in the mouth without mercy.
The smile on her face instantly disappeared, and her gaze was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Sumei's heart. > "Don't forget what you did when we were locked up together! Now she is said to be an unclean woman. If it weren't for her, you would have been sold to a brothel by now!"
Sumei looked at Axiu blankly, her lips trembling, but she didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Axiu looked at the duplicitous woman with disdain. There were some words that she didn't want to say clearly. It was also because Hongyu was caught in the middle, which was really difficult.
"If you don't want me to tell you all those things, you'd better be wiser."
After Axiu finished speaking, she turned her head and looked out the window.
Bai Shao and Hong Yu, although they don’t know what happened between them.
However, she always felt that this Sumei was not as innocent as she seemed.
Lin Mengya rode her horse leisurely, with Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu following side by side on both sides of her.
The three of them were in a strange silence, with no one willing to speak first to break the awkward situation.
But Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu's eyes were secretly on Lin Mengya. Occasionally, when their eyes met, they couldn't help but glare at each other.
"I want to tell you something."
Lin Mengya, who had calmed down from her own thoughts, thought for a moment and decided that she should give Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu a warning.
"What?"
The two people answered at the same time, which was not a normal tacit understanding.
However, after realizing that they were in sync with each other, they still looked very childish and glared at each other.
"Someone has been targeting me. Last night, I met the owner of Huichun Square. I thought I could hide it from him, but I didn't expect that he already knew my true identity."
The expressions of Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu were frozen for a moment.
Both of them were deeply involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for imperial power. Lin Mengya's words gave them a taste of crisis.
"Are you from the prince?"
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Yu asked quietly as if facing a formidable enemy.
"No, the prince does not have such great ability. Mengya, have you discovered anything?"
When it came to business, Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu stopped arguing.
Although the prince was a thorny problem, Long Tianyu still knew very well how much the mother and son weighed.
If the prince's hand can be stretched out so long, then the mother and son will not take advantage of it
When my father was ill, he did these unspeakable things.
"Maybe it has something to do with White Dragon and Black Tiger. I think they are more than just a human trafficking organization. Among other things, there is a hidden courtyard in Huichunfang with carved beams and painted buildings, which is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.
Even in Kyoto, it is very rare. Besides, I heard from people inside that such a courtyard is not limited to this place."
The soft spring breeze blew gently over Lin Mengya's inner cheeks, and the lingering hot feeling also dissipated a lot.
Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu were also lost in their own thoughts. Like Lin Mengya, they also had their own doubts.
However, after thinking for a long time, the two of them made up their minds to protect Lin Mengya every step of the way before returning to Kyoto.
"Forget it, let's stop thinking about it. At least they don't want my life. I just need to be careful. I think they have some concerns about setting me up. Otherwise, they can just come and catch me.
People will be fine."
Lin Mengya is indeed Lin Mengya. Although the situation is not good for her, at least she can find conditions that are favorable to her now.
Long Tianyu nodded. In fact, he had the same idea as Lin Mengya.
The kingdom of heaven is coming soon, and the power of him and the Lin family may still have some effect in Jin.
But in other countries, his identity with the Lin family is also a bit sensitive, and I'm afraid they are out of reach.
"As long as we cross that chasm, we won't be in much danger."
Qiu Yu, who had seemed a little timid along the way, now felt somewhat inexplicably confident.
Tilting her head and looking at him, Lin Mengya had some obvious doubts in her eyes.
It's strange that when this guy was in Kyoto, he was a master who didn't even dare to offend the imperial court.
Now that we have arrived at Lintian Kingdom, we seem to have gained confidence.
"Hey, don't even think about asking. All of this is a secret. You will understand when the time comes."
Yep, that's another sell-off.
Lin Mengya didn't bother to press him. Anyway, Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu were both of the same moral character. They didn't want to say anything, even if they put a knife to their necks, they wouldn't say a single word.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the caravan walked for most of the day.
Lintian Kingdom is located in the south, surrounded by the sea on three sides. The climate is also much humid than that of Dajin.
Therefore, along the way, Lin Mengya felt like going from early spring to late spring.
Although the two countries are not There is not a close relationship, but there is no city gate at the border. Instead, there is a Tongshi where merchants from the two countries are mixed. If you want to enter and exit, you only need to find people from the two countries at the entrances of the two ends of the Tongshi.
Officials can handle it.
The residents here, living together as if they were singing, have long been in the same spirit, and there is no difference between them.
"If there were no wars and all countries were in such harmony, that would be the blessing of the people."
Sitting on the horse, Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh.
She was born into a family of generals, and although she had never been on the battlefield, growing up, her father's colleagues and lieutenants all talked about tragic wars.
Maybe you can't feel the cruelty when talking. However, there are many uncles and uncles who have come to the Lin family, but after a certain expedition, they may never come back.
Her father once took her to attend the funeral of an uncle, a lieutenant general.
Everyone in the family cried heartbrokenly. Even though she was still an idiot at the time, she never wanted to accompany her father to the funeral again.
If there had been no war between countries, perhaps those uncles and uncles could still be by their side with their wives and children.
It's a pity that as long as ambition exists in this world, this kind of barbaric plunder and cruel war will never stop.
"Perhaps it will come true one day in the future, but now, such a peaceful situation will not last long."
Qiu Yu sighed regretfully, but then he closed his mouth again.
Lin Mengya, who didn't know much about these government affairs, looked at him suspiciously.
But the other party just smiled at himself and stopped giving any explanation.
I couldn't help but give Qiu Yu a big eye roll. This kind of person is the most annoying. He always speaks half the words and leaves the other half behind.
Mr. Guo is considered an old man in Tongshi. With his face, he also gave some benefits to the customs clearance officials of the two countries. Soon, the caravan passed through Tongshi and reached the boundary of Lintian Kingdom.
Looking back, it was still early spring in Dajin. But in Lintian Kingdom, dozens of miles away, everything was green.
"Not too far ahead, there will be an apricot blossom forest. At this time of year, it looks like powdery snow, which is really beautiful."
Qiu Yu's eyebrows were filled with joy for some unknown reason.
There was also an unusual excitement in his eyes, not like a visitor, but like someone returning home.
Lin Mengya seemed to have guessed something, but she just smiled and shook her head, not exposing him.
"But after passing through the apricot blossom forest, you will reach the most dangerous place. Remember, you must be careful."
