The leader was a man with pits on his face like a toad. He jumped off his horse and threw King Jingnan down, "Look!"
Liang Jingyao came closer and lowered his head to see that it was indeed King Jingnan himself!
He readily handed a hundred gold leaves to the toad-faced man, "These are the gold leaves I promised your Lord, a total of one hundred!"
The toad-faced man counted the numbers, stuffed the gold leaves into his arms, then got on his horse and said, "All money and goods are cleared, farewell!"
After the toad-faced man left with his men, Liang Jingyao threw King Jingnan into another prepared carriage. The people driving this carriage were Zhan Ying and Yao Jinheng.
Liang Jingyao knew that the two of them were still injured, so he said apologetically: "The other members of the Yin Zhan Guard still have missions to do, so it's been a hard trip for you. Emperor Liang's people will definitely come to hunt down King Jingnan, so just bring them with you
People are wandering around, and they can delay it as long as they can. If they can't delay it any longer, they will return King Jingnan to them."
Yao Jinheng asked in confusion: "My boss, why is this? We can torture him severely. Maybe King Jingnan can reveal some secrets."
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said: "He was able to bite off the second prince's ear while he was disabled. Do you think I can believe what he said? I did this just to divert Emperor Liang's attention and plan the layout in Yangming Town as soon as possible.
It’s over! The Cheetah Army will arrive soon, so you try to run as loudly as possible to whet Emperor Liang’s appetite!”
Yao Jinheng finally understood what Liang Jingyao meant, nodded and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me and Zhan Ying, my boss, don't worry!"
How could Liang Jingyao be relieved? These two were his confidants. He took out a packet of medicine and put it in Yao Jinheng's hand, "Feed him every three hours so that he will not die or wake up."
Yao Jinheng opened it, and there were several small bags inside. He took one of the bags and poured it directly into King Jingnan's mouth, "I remember, boss, let's go! Someone will be here soon, let's run west, and go over there.
They are all mountains and forests, which are the best places to hide."
Liang Jingyao patted Yao Jinheng and Zhan Ying heavily on the shoulders, "You go ahead and be careful on the road. If you can't hold them back, abandon the car and run away. Don't confront them head-on. I'll wait for you to come back safely!"
"Okay! Take care of yourself too!" Yao Jinheng sat back on the carriage, lowered his riding whip, and the carriage ran forward quickly.
Liang Jingyao watched the carriage rush westward until it finally turned into a small black dot and disappeared. He still stood there with no intention of returning to the carriage.
Lin Xiaoyue was a little worried and stepped forward to comfort them: "Are you worried about them? If you are really worried, you can go to someone else who is not injured."
Liang Jingyao sighed, shook his head and said: "Zhan Ying is the boss of Yin Zhanwei, and Yao Jinheng was the previous boss of Yin Zhanwei. In terms of experience and martial arts, no one can compare with them. It is safest to let them go! Just let them go.
They carried out their mission while being injured, and I couldn't bear it."
Lin Xiaoyue knew that Liang Jingyao was suffering, but in reality there was no better choice.
"Brother Liang, don't be sad. It's time for us to go back. There are still many things waiting for us to do!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and pulled Lin Xiaoyue into the carriage, "Let's go! Back to Yangming Town."
Shilipo is very close to Yangming Town, and it didn't take long for the carriage to enter the city.
Returning to the teahouse, Lin Xiaoyue changed her clothes and went to the front to tell stories. There were several old faces among the guests today. Lin Xiaoyue knew that Emperor Liang's people did not come to cause trouble, so she retold the two rounds of yesterday afternoon.
She was also very enthusiastic when telling stories in front of real guests, and there were applause and cheers from the audience several times.
After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaoyue did not leave immediately. She would go to Chen Yunyun tomorrow and planned to ask for two days' leave from her guests.
"I'm here to take a leave of absence from everyone. I have something to do at home in the next two days, so after finishing the story tonight, I won't be able to tell you the story for two days. Sorry!"
The guests were a little disappointed and rushed to hope that Lin Xiaoyue would give another round of speech. Pearls and silver were all thrown on the stage. Lin Xiaoyue was a little too kind to refuse, so she had to agree.
"The Queen Mother is going to hold a peach festival in the heaven. The Great Sage Qitian transforms into a barefoot immortal and enters the Yaochi. He secretly eats fairy peaches, secretly drinks fairy wine, and drunkenly breaks into Taishang Laojun's Tushita Palace..."
After the third round of lectures, the guests made no further requests. After all, after three rounds of lectures, it was already getting dark, and the Iron Man became hungry, so they all left with satisfaction.
Back in the backyard, Liang Jingyao had already prepared throat tea and candied fruit. He took off Lin Xiaoyue's cloak, took a handful of fruit and put it in Lin Xiaoyue's hand. "Why did you talk for so long today? Does your throat hurt?"
Lin Xiaoyue picked up the apricot, took a bite, and said, "It doesn't hurt. Because I told the guests that I would take two days off, so they wanted me to talk more."
Liang Jingyao felt very distressed and persuaded: "You can actually take a few more days off and play with your little sisters for a few more days."
Of course Lin Xiaoyue wanted to take Yunyun to play, but in the current troubled times, she didn't have much thoughts, "No, it's not sure whether Yunyun is willing to come, she has never left her godfather and godmother. By the way, is there any news about the Cheetah Army? What if
When Yunyun comes here, we must ensure her safety!"
Liang Jingyao thought for a while and said: "The Cheetah Army marches in an extremely concealed manner. They will only contact me the day before they arrive in Yangming Town, otherwise they will not send me information. This is also to avoid leaking the news. But don't worry.
Come on, I still have Silver Sword Guard here, it’s enough to protect her by myself!”
Lin Xiaoyue said hesitantly: "Aren't there five people going to guard Yuanheng Inn? Is it really okay?"
Liang Jingyao said with certainty: "It's okay. Before, I just asked them to search if the shopkeeper of Yuanheng Inn left anything. Now they have checked it long ago. Just leave one person there. Tomorrow you go to your godfather and godmother, I also want to send someone
Two people will escort you there."
When Lin Xiaoyue heard what Liang Jingyao said, she thought it was good to have someone escort her. Safety is more important than anything else now!
"Okay! Are there any important clues found in the teahouse and Yuanheng Inn?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said: "There are some letters between them and other contact points. Most of them are in Yangming Town, where there are rice shops, butcher shops, and medicine shops. They are all inconspicuous. It is difficult to think that they are related to the aloof Emperor Liang.
We can just uproot all these places!”
Lin Xiaoyue secretly cursed Emperor Liang for being an old fox for putting so many of his own forces in this place. Is this to prevent someone from attacking the capital, so he placed his people in a small town so close to the capital?
Since he is so afraid of death, why doesn't he just be a good emperor?
He spends all his time thinking about excluding dissenters, exterminating all his relatives, and turning a blind eye to the sufferings of the people. If such an emperor can still sit now, he must have burned a lot of incense, right?
