Uncle Dong's eyes were filled with viciousness. Lin Mengya knew that an ambitious man like him would not want to be trapped in this place.
"I'll send men to strengthen the security!"
"Wait."
Lin Mengya stopped Uncle Dong. She knew that they were eager to return home, but some things could not be rushed.
"If we send more men now, we might alert the enemy. How can you tell who is loyal and who is a traitor? "
"Do you want us to sit here and wait for death? Are we going to be trapped in this barren land? "
Uncle Dong looked impatient. Lin Mengya shook her head and continued.
"In my opinion, it won't be easy to sink such a big ship. Therefore, if they were a little smarter, they would definitely choose a place that would not be easily noticed, and could completely sink the ship. Moreover, before that, they would not be able to repair the ship. If that's the case, why don't we do the opposite? "
Uncle Dong and An Zichen looked at Lin Mengya with hesitation.
They could not understand why Lin Mengya would help them.
After all, she did not want to leave this place for Wei.
"Don't doubt me. I'm helping you because I don't want to leave any trouble behind. I've experienced the tricks of the people of Wei. If I want to live a peaceful life, I have to go with you. "
When she said this, there was a hint of annoyance in her tone.
The doubts in Uncle Dong and An Zichen's eyes gradually disappeared. According to her character, if she was willing to help them, then there must be something wrong.
But this time, Lin Mengya's answer was reasonable, so the two of them had no reason to doubt her.
"I'll handle this matter. Since you know that their target is you, it's better that you don't go out these few days. "
There was a hint of warning in his tone. It was clear that he did not want her to get in the way.
In the end, Uncle Dong still did not believe her.
But Lin Mengya did not care. After all, they were not on the same side, and she could not be bothered to care about their business.
"Of course I won't go out easily. But let me make something clear. If you stay here, I don't care if you live or die, but I won't easily follow you to your deaths. "
At this point, Lin Mengya didn't want to waste any more time with them. She left calmly with Baisu.
Along the way, everyone from the An family had something buried deep in their eyes, eager to make a move.
Lin Mengya knew that she was in a very dangerous situation.
Once the ship was destroyed, according to Uncle Dong's personality, he would probably rebuild it at all costs.
And she was the only bargaining chip here.
If the An Clan's disciples were to stay here, they would use her as a hostage.
Whether she left or not, it was a dangerous situation for her.
Lin Mengya and Baisu sat in the main hall when they returned to the north courtyard.
"If there's really no other way, I'll bring Master and kill our way back!"
Baisu's face was full of killing intent. It was not that she was reckless, but that those people would not be able to keep their minds in the face of benefits.
"It's not the time to fight to the death yet. Since the An family has sent people to retrieve me, do you think they won't have a backup plan?"
"But that Uncle Dong, even if we get on the ship safely, he will still harm you, Master."
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at Baisu, with a complicated smile on her face.
"Who said that the backup plan is Uncle Dong?"
"If it's not him, could it be … No, I've seen it clearly these days. Apart from Jin, An Zichen can only mobilize a limited number of people. Otherwise, how could he have been bullied by those people? "
Baisu was right, but what she said was what everyone could see on the surface.
There was a flash of light in her eyes.
She didn't even tell Baisu about it.
When the fire rose to the sky, she only smelled the burning smell of wood, kerosene, and cotton in the air. As for the burning smell of grain, she didn't smell it at all.
"Let's wait and see. It's not that simple."
It was not difficult to raise more resources when they ran out.
The Xin family had offered a lot of money these years, so the An family could be so extravagant.
Lin Mengya had always been obedient and stayed close to Baisu in the north courtyard.
Three meals a day were also served by others, and then sent out after they finished eating.
But these days, the person who delivered meals to them was changed to a servant of the An family.
Lin Mengya deliberately asked about it, and only said that Uncle Dong had closed the door to prevent outsiders from entering.
This person was not so stupid. Maybe he could be saved.
Lin Mengya turned around and went to the inner hall.
Today was different from the past. It was probably because the two of them never went out that the meals were more and more bland and watery.
But today, all kinds of dishes were thick oil, red sauce, meat, coriander, and delicious vegetables.
"I don't know what the An family thought of, but they brought us so much delicious food."
Lin Mengya and Baisu didn't have specific requirements when it came to food.
But they also knew that they were deliberately neglecting them.
Naturally, such a trivial matter would not be ordered by An Zichen or Uncle Dong.
Looking at the food, Lin Mengya shook her head. With such a junior, it would be difficult for the An family to survive.
"Well, it's their kindness. Go to the back and get me some hot water. "
Baisu did not suspect anything and immediately did as she was told.
Seeing that they left, Lin Mengya quietly picked up the chopsticks and carefully picked out a few peppercorn-like things from the dishes.
"The people of Wei are really strange. Why do they like to cook with such heavy ingredients?"
Generally speaking, the dishes of Lieyun and Dajin were mainly salty and fresh.
They had been eating plain soup for the past few days, and now these things were sent to them, so Baisu felt strange.
"Ten miles away, different customs. This is probably a characteristic of their side. Don't go against their good intentions. Didn't I ask you to bring water? Drink more water, so that your mouth and tongue will not get sore. "
She intentionally threw the Sichuan peppercorns onto a handkerchief.
When Baisu was not paying attention, Lin Mengya put them into her sleeve.
After they were full, Baisu went to return the tableware as usual. Lin Mengya got up, threw the handkerchief under the bed, and buried it with a thin layer of fine soil.
She did this for three days in a row.
It was still calm outside, but for Lin Mengya, it was not so peaceful.
At night, the master and the servant sat in the corridor to enjoy the cool.
Although the buildings of the Northern Courtyard were very transparent, and there was a gentle breeze blowing in every corner, the temperature of the day was gradually rising.
They talked less now. After all, they were in the enemy's camp, and the less information they revealed, the better.
Fortunately, they had a tacit understanding. If one of them wanted to do something, they only needed to look at the other.
Baisu was standing next to her, peeling oranges for her master, when she heard a sound coming from the other side of the wall.
The figure was as fast as the wind, and suddenly jumped over.
Lin Mengya also pulled the trigger of the hidden crossbow in her sleeve, and on the other side, the little flower ghost snake wandered freely in her sleeve.
"It's me!"
The familiar voice made Baisu's sword deviate by half an inch, and it fell on Jin's neck.
That guy was wearing a night clothes today, and sneakily climbed over the wall. It was obvious that he was up to no good.
"Let's talk inside, Baisu. Don't be nervous."
Lin Mengya didn't show any surprise, as if she had expected Jin's arrival.
It was only when she stood in front of her that she noticed that Ah Jin was carrying a small bundle on her back.
"Hurry up and put on these two clothes. Hurry up, time is running out!"
Jin neatly tied the bag, took out two sets of the same night clothes, and handed them to Baisu.
Baisu looked at Lin Mengya inquiringly, but saw that her master automatically took a set and went into the room.
Within a few minutes, they were dressed exactly like Ah Jin.
"You two, follow me. Don't make a sound, and don't alarm those people!"
Jin lowered his voice and said. Lin Mengya nodded, and so did Baisu.
But the three of them didn't climb over the wall, but went to a small courtyard in the innermost part of the north courtyard.
Jin skillfully took out a few green bricks, and then fumbled inside for a while, and a small semicircular door silently appeared.
Ah Jin gestured to the two women to let them go, and entered first.
The small door closed behind them, and it was pitch-black inside.
Baisu subconsciously held Lin Mengya's hand tightly, and stood in front of her.
It was very quiet here, and only the footsteps of the three could be heard.
The air was very moist, and as they walked, they could also hear the sound of the waves and the sea breeze.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ah Jin finally took out a torch that could light up the place.
Although it could only light up a little, it was not enough to make people feel uneasy.
They were walking through a naturally formed cave.
It wasn't until they heard other movements in front of them that the three of them gradually walked out of the cave.
In front of them, there was a fire, and a dozen people were running up and down with torches. Then, she saw a ship.
It was a large ship that could cross the ocean. Although Lin Mengya had no experience in sailing, she knew that such a large ship had incorporated quite advanced shipbuilding technology in ancient times.
Under Jin's guidance, they finally stepped on the deck of the ship.
"You're here. Is everything going well?"
An Zichen appeared in front of them. This time, he didn't look as helpless as he had in front of Uncle Dong.
The corners of his eyes were full of confidence.
It seemed that everything was under his control.
"It's going well, but I don't know whether it will go well next."
Lin Mengya hinted at something, and played a riddle that only the two of them knew.
An Zichen smiled, and his eyes were still gentle and kind.
