Lin Mengya smiled softly, her eyes full of love for the baby in her belly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that there was no reaction at all."
In fact, she was still a little worried about this child.
The teacher told her that her current body is not suitable for pregnancy.
But now that the baby is here, besides being surprised, she will definitely try her best to give birth to the baby safely.
The Shennong system monitors the baby's condition all the time. Although the baby is only three months old now, her development is in good condition, and there is not the slightest error due to her special physique.
At least for now, the baby is still in her womb, growing quietly.
Therefore, she warned herself to be extremely careful, as she would no longer be alone in the battle.
At least for the sake of the baby in her belly, she must prioritize protecting her own safety.
Lifting the curtain, Lin Mengya looked at the mountains not far away.
Their guide is a member of the Qizhou branch. He is about thirty years old. He was once a hunter in the mountains and is most familiar with the conditions in the mountains.
With him here, if nothing happens, everyone should be able to safely cross the mountains and reach the secret contact point of Lieyun Kingdom that they had agreed upon long ago within half a month.
Lin Mengya was naturally extremely cautious about her guide. Not only did she have to be personally selected by the leader of the Qizhou branch, but she also secretly asked Shi Bupo to investigate this person's identity.
After almost digging out everyone's ancestral graves and looking at them, I finally felt relieved.
Although Qinghu laughed at her for being a frightened bird after becoming a mother, Lin Mengya knew better than anyone that there was no big mistake in being careful.
"To inform the hall master, we will enter the mountain tomorrow. Before entering the mountain, I have a few words. I hope the hall master can listen to them."
The guide had a very kind and dark face and seemed to be a loyal and honest person.
However, there is still a hundred thousand respects in the heart of the chief hall master who only sees and hears nothing about him.
"Please say."
A woman's voice finally came from the carriage, but the guide's heart lifted.
A while ago, their Qizhou branch was among the first to hear the news about how the church leader dealt with the traitors ruthlessly.
Especially after hearing from the brothers in the hall that the two deputy hall masters, who were highly skilled in martial arts and scheming, were like tied up pigs and dogs in front of the hall master, and could only be slaughtered by others, how could they deal with this mysterious hall master?
Lord, he couldn't help but feel a little more thoughtful in his heart.
I was afraid that if I did something wrong, I would be punished by the hall master.
After calming down, the guide spoke. "This mountain is called Wuxiong Mountain by the young people. There are not many heroes in the mountain, but there are five groups of ruthless bandits. These five groups of people are all trying to do justice for heaven. The other four mountains abide by the rules and usually do not
They will harass ordinary people like us. But the remaining group of people, relying on them to occupy the commercial roads, will often rob passing merchants. Therefore, those merchants often form a group."
Qinghu, who was standing aside, just snorted coldly, looked at the long sword in his hand, and said in a conspiratorial tone.
"It doesn't matter, as long as they touch them, I will take the opportunity to kill them to my heart's content."
The guide suddenly felt a chill on his neck and shrank his neck before continuing.
"However, because of this, those caravans that are in groups are more likely to be targeted. On the contrary, some small caravans are let go because they have fewer people and don't have too much oil and water on them. Nashan
The king is an extremely cunning and difficult character. I only found out about this because there was a person working for him who was my distant cousin. In my opinion, it might be better to break up everyone and spread them out, maybe it will be more difficult.
Safety."
Qinghu looked at the guide, waved for him to leave, and immediately opened the curtain of the carriage.
Sure enough, the beautiful Lin Mengya inside frowned slightly.
It seems that a team of one hundred people may be a bit eye-catching.
Although she is not afraid of being stared at, it would still be troublesome.
"What do you think?"
He raised his head and asked Qinghu for his opinion.
"I think what he said makes sense. We're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If we encounter one, it's safer to have more people. Those gangsters are just a mob. The five hundred of us can do it in the mountains.
It's just that our disadvantage is that we are not as familiar with the terrain as they are. If there is any conflict, we may suffer."
Nodding, Qinghu said exactly what she was thinking.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya decided to follow the guide's advice.
The one hundred people on the surface were randomly transformed into seven or eight small caravans, and the number of each small caravan was different.
Lin Mengya's caravan is at the front. She will set off about an hour in advance, and then the brothers hidden in the team will leave pre-arranged secret signals where guidance is needed to guide the people behind.
Every caravan or hidden team passing by must leave its own traces for later inspection.
In this way, everyone will know the status of the team in front at any time.
In the last team, Lin
Mengya arranged for Xu Shan and Shi Bupa to hold the formation.
With the two of them here, even if they do encounter bandits, they can at least get help in time.
What's more, the remaining four hundred people will also be scattered in the mountains to protect these disguised caravans.
Sanjuetang's team rested for a day and a night, and finally, in the early morning of the second day, they set foot on the boundary of Wuxiong Mountain.
It is already March in spring, and it is a beautiful time for all things to revive in the mountains.
I saw blooming mountain flowers along the way, and my mood eased a lot.
For three days in a row, other than the occasional caravan coming and going and locals collecting firewood from the mountains, I didn't encounter anything unusual.
However, Qinghu still ordered that everyone should be more vigilant and not relax to allow others to take advantage of the situation.
After traveling for a long time, even though Lin Mengya spent most of her time recuperating in the carriage, her body still couldn't bear it.
Finally reaching an open area, Qinghu immediately ordered the people to stop and take a rest.
There were about twenty people in their group, and besides Lin Mengya, there were two women pretending to be her maids.
Bai Su has been hiding in the dark, responsible for the transmission of information between the various teams.
Although Lin Mengya's body was a little inconvenient, Bai Su was relieved that Qinghu was there.
"Be careful."
Qinghu carefully supported Lin Mengya, and the careful look was comparable to serving the Queen Mother.
"I'm fine, don't let everyone see anything."
Regarding Qinghu's over-protection, Lin Mengya could only roll her eyes in her heart.
Anyway, this guy probably wouldn't listen, and she also knew that Qinghu was doing it for her own good, but sometimes, when she saw him acting like a hen, she couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded.
She was pregnant, not paralyzed, but protesting obviously had no effect.
After getting off the carriage, people around had already raised the fire and were preparing to cook lunch.
Lin Mengya was sitting next to him, with just a pair of eyes, but they inadvertently landed somewhere in the mountains.
"These guys have been following us for two days, right?"
The voice was low enough for both she and Qinghu to hear, and a sneer quickly crossed Qinghu's thin lips.
"Yes, they are really persistent. Do you want me to get rid of them now?"
Not long after they entered the mountain, Qinghu became keenly aware of the presence of secret whistles around him that were not part of their team.
However, he only told Lin Mengya and did not alert anyone. r> "It's better to be patient for now. We don't know the other party's purpose yet. If the other party is just here to inquire about information, if we act rashly, we may alert the enemy."
Now one thing is worse than one thing less, not to mention that they are local snakes. They are just passers-by. It is best to live in peace. If there is a dispute, I am afraid that some damage will be done.
Under Qinghu's counter-monitoring, any disturbance from those secret whistlers could not escape Lin Mengya's eyes.
After five more uneventful days, their group finally reached the deepest part of the mountains.
As long as you climb over the hillside in front, you can reach the other half of the mountain road.
The guide, who had been silently doing his job for days, had felt slightly uneasy since the morning.
Looking at the carriage behind him, he could clearly see the interactions he had had over the past few days.
Although the hall leader does not often joke with them and spends most of the day resting in the carriage, she is a person who knows rewards and punishments clearly and has no airs.
After thinking about it, those who were punished did indeed violate the church rules, and the hall masters also dealt with them in accordance with the church rules.
And when they first entered the hall, the hall master required them to be able to recite all the hall rules before they could officially become the will of the hall.
In other words, those people committed suicide on their own and had nothing to do with the hall master.
Finally, the guide stood up and walked towards the carriage where Lin Mengya was.
"Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master, the territory of Rakshasa Village is ahead. If you two can trust me, can you give me a few taels of silver and let me go and inquire about it first."
He lowered his head, and even though Qinghu couldn't see the man's expression clearly, he could see his twisted, slightly stiff hands.
Come to think of it, that bandit has such a resounding name, and he is also a cruel person.
But the man in front of me actually asked to explore the way, which is commendable.
He took out ten taels of silver ingots from the carriage and put them into the man's hands without saying a word. The latter was slightly surprised, raised his head, and stared at the deputy hall master in front of him in astonishment.
"Thank you for your hard work, be careful."
Eight short words came out from the carriage, and their hall leader leaned out and looked at him with a gentle expression.
Suddenly, the mountain man who had never done anything important seemed to have realized some kind of mission. The feeling of being trusted like this made him feel some heavy emotions weighing on his heart.
He was not good at expressing himself, so he just held the silver ingot in his hand tightly and nodded heavily.
He turned around and walked forward, even though his steps were still a little shaky, his movements were without hesitation.
