"How is your second brother?"
Gong Wu smiled, but he seemed a little reserved.
"He's fine."
"When we were in Dragon City, I admired your second brother's martial arts the most. Oh yes, why are you looking for me? "
So, he had fought with Gong Er before.
Lin Mengya did not really understand the friendship between these men. It seemed that the more they fought, the better their relationship would be.
What was this called? No discord, no concord?
"Actually, I have a favor to ask of you. This is my sister, Gong Ya. "
Lian Sheng's gaze fell on the only woman in the room.
However, he turned away after a quick glance.
"I heard that you asked me to come here. Is there someone who wants to cause you trouble?"
Gong Wu shook his head and pulled Gong Ya over.
"My sister has a favor to ask of you. Xiao Ya, tell me. Brother Lian is not an outsider."
Lian Sheng looked at him and frowned.
"Commander Lian, I just have an idea. Whether we can succeed or not, we still need your opinion. "
"Go ahead."
Although she was keenly aware that Lian Sheng was looking down on her, she still maintained the most basic courtesy for the sake of Gong Er.
Lin Mengya knew that it would not be easy to convince him.
"I hope that the snow on the street can be made into snow lanterns. Don't worry, Commander Lian. Whether it's the cost of hiring a craftsman, hiring someone to look after the lantern overnight, or the money for the sesame oil, our Gong family can take care of it. "
She noticed that Lian Sheng's face did not look too good after she finished speaking.
"Miss Gong, Dragon City is not your garden. It's not something you can do whatever you want. I have something else to deal with, so I won't keep you any longer. Cheng Hao, Gong Yu, let's meet again in the future. "
Lian Xing had a troubled expression on his face, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Lin Mengya was not angered. Instead, she felt that Lian Sheng was a good official.
"Commander Lian, I'm not messing around. I'm sure you know the situation in Dragon City. If there are snow lanterns at night, it will be much safer for those who come back late … "
"There's a curfew at night. No one will come out except for the patrolling imperial guards. Miss Gong, I'll say this one last time. This is Dragon City. You can't be reckless here. "
The man's voice was so serious that Lin Mengya could not refute him.
She admitted that she had thought things too simply.
He only thought that if he made a snow sculpture, he could lure the child out.
However, he had forgotten that this idea was just a waste of manpower and money for others to have fun.
She could only blame herself for not thinking things through.
"Lieutenant! There were too many soldiers suffering from frostbite in the Imperial Army camp. However, it was too cold in our barracks. Even if we burned the firewood all night long, it would not be enough. If this goes on, I'm afraid … "
Senior Scholar Chen hurriedly came in to report. His expression was grave. It seemed like this situation was already quite serious.
"Send more military doctors to treat them! You can leave first, I still have business to attend to. "
Lian Sheng's face was also covered with a layer of gloom.
Thinking about it, this shouldn't be the first time something like this happened.
Lian Xing had no choice but to leave with a few people.
Lin Mengya thought about it as she walked. As soon as they got out of the yamen, she held Gong Wu's hand and asked in a low voice.
"Fifth Brother, why is frostbite so troublesome? Logically speaking, they should have a good solution to deal with it. "
Before Gong Wu could answer, Lian Xing answered in a low voice.
"It's not that my brother has no solution, it's because the winter in Dragon City is too cold. The Imperial Army is drawn from the armies of various places. They have to be replaced every three years, so some people can't withstand the weather here at all. Moreover, although the Imperial Army will reissue cotton clothes and shoes every winter, the barracks have not been maintained for many years. How can they withstand such weather? Every winter,
The soldiers in the barracks can only suffer in this world of ice and snow. "
Lian Xing was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Lin Mengya nodded and said to Gong Wu.
"Can we go to the Imperial Army camp to have a look?"
"Why do you want to go there?"
"Frostbite is not incurable. I came across a folk prescription by chance, and it is the most useful for frostbite. Moreover, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Let's go and have a look. It's not a problem, is it? "
Gong Wu glared at her. How could she forget his brother's instructions again?
However, Lin Mengya shook his sleeve and kept begging him.
"Alright, let's go and come back quickly. Lian Xing, Cheng Hao, are you coming? "
The two of them were also curious about what Gong Ya wanted to do, so they nodded.
"Sigh, I really don't know what to do with you. Let's go home and change first. Find a carriage, or we'll be frozen when we walk there. "
Gong Wu nodded and agreed. After changing into a man's suit, the four of them got on the carriage and rushed to the camp outside.
Before they arrived, Lin Mengya saw the snowfield where the snow was stored.
This place was more spectacular than she had imagined.
Not far from the snowfield was the Imperial Army camp.
They were stopped as soon as they arrived.
This time, even Lian Xing's face was not useful. He could only stand there and look at the situation inside.
"Childe Lian, who is in charge here when your brother is not here?"
"There are Left and Right Lieutenant Generals in charge of the camp, but they will be changed according to the arrangement of the imperial guards. Today, it should be Left Lieutenant General Lu Ying. "
"What kind of person is he?"
Lian Xing thought for a while and made a very pertinent evaluation.
"He is similar to my brother. He is stubborn, inflexible, and can't learn to be flexible. Previously, he had an assistant who was beaten 50 times by him because he made a wrong judgment on a small matter. He was almost beaten to death! "
It was probably a rare opportunity for Lian Xing to talk about this, so he kept talking.
But from his words, Lin Mengya got the information she wanted.
This Left Lieutenant General Lu Ying was a serious and serious person. He loved his subordinates very much.
That was good. Things would be much easier.
"Well, Second Childe Lian, please do me a favor."
"What is it?"
Lin Mengya took out a prescription from her sleeve, folded it, and put it in front of him.
"This is a prescription that has a miraculous effect on frostbite. Take it and give it to Lu Ying. Tell him that you asked someone to find it. Then, if Lu Ying asks you about this prescription again, you can tell me again, okay? "
Although Lian Xing didn't understand, he still took it out of trust for Gong Wu.
"Well, Lu Ying's house is not far from mine. When I'm free in the evening, I'll give it to him. Okay? "
Lin Mengya nodded. As long as Lu Ying really cared for his soldiers, he would definitely use this prescription.
At that time, she would help them solve the problem of the barracks, and then Lian Xing would owe her a big favor.
But how to owe her a favor, and how to do it, still needed some time.
After a long time, when they returned to the mansion, their clothes had been drenched by the cold wind.
As soon as they got home, Lin Mengya was caught by Baisu and Shang 'er. They washed her clothes and stuffed her into a hot tub to take a bath.
They threw a lot of cold dispelling herbs into the water. Although it was not of much use to Lin Mengya, the hot water always made her feel better.
They went out to get some warm food for her, and Lin Mengya leaned against the edge of the tub alone, enjoying the rare warmth.
The door was pushed open, and Lin Mengya thought it was Baisu or Shang 'er.
"Well, you don't have to busy yourself. I'm not hungry, I'm just very tired, and want to sleep early."
Lin Mengya turned around and got out of the tub.
Suddenly, she realized that something was amiss.
When she turned around, she saw a certain someone dressed in black standing in the same spot, looking at her with a deep and profound gaze.
"Plop!" Water splashed everywhere, and Lin Mengya immediately shrank back into the tub, blushing.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Shang 'er's question came from outside the door.
"Nothing, I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep first. You guys go to sleep too, don't be busy."
She stared into the man's eyes and tried to sound as natural as possible.
Shang 'er and Baisu had always been considerate, so they didn't insist on coming in to disturb her.
The atmosphere was a little weird. Lin Mengya only let her head out, but the man's eyes wandered under the water.
This … was so embarrassing.
"It seems that you're used to this kind of thing."
Damn man! The moment he opened his mouth, Lin Mengya wanted to jump out and strangle him!
"What do you mean?"
"You're so calm in the face of danger. It seems that this is not the first time you've done this kind of thing. Gong Ya, it seems that you're very 'generous'. "
No matter how she heard it, Lin Mengya knew that the man was not saying anything nice.
She didn't know what was going on, but ever since they met again, this guy had been talking to her in a weird way.
Clearly, she was the victim, okay?
"It's not that I'm generous, but I can't resist. Your Highness, you're very familiar with barging into a woman's room in the middle of the night, and you're very familiar with it. Why don't you tell me what you think? Dragon City is so big, whose room have you barged into? "
She came out of the water a little and leaned against the wall of the tub.
Although they were husband and wife, she always felt a little awkward, as if they had returned to the stage before they fell in love.
Murong Xi glared at this hateful woman, narrowed his eyes, and took a few steps forward.
"Your Highness! A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists! If you take another step forward, I'll call for help! "
Lin Mengya subconsciously covered her chest, but her words did not have the slightest deterrent.
Even if he was already in front of her, he only needed to reach out and strangle her.
But she still deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that others would find out.
Murong Xi suddenly realized one thing, this woman was saying one thing but thinking the other way round.
She leaned against the edge of the tub and stared at the unfamiliar face.
Why was it that when he woke up at night, it was all her smiling face?
"What kind of curse did you cast on me?"
He seemed to be asking her, but it also seemed like he was talking to himself.
He was so close to her, so close that she could see the struggle and hesitation in his eyes.
It seemed that she could still disturb his heart, which was a good thing.
