Mrs. Zhong must have been scared out of her wits after the bloody scene just now.
Therefore, if Lin Mengya wanted to know what happened at that time, she had to comfort Mrs. Zhong first.
Whether it was Lin Mengya's soft voice or her gentle touch, Mrs. Zhong slowly came back to her senses.
Looking at the beautiful Princess Yu in front of her, Mrs. Zhong showed a gentle and harmless smile. Trembling, Mrs. Zhong began to talk about the frightening scene just now.
"Old Master and I were sitting in the car and chatting. Suddenly, Old Master's eyes widened. Then, I saw blood gushing out of Old Master's neck. In the end, it became what it is now. "
The situation must be very strange.
Otherwise, Mrs. Zhong would not be so scared that she was still trembling.
Lin Mengya gently patted Mrs. Zhong's shoulder, took the blanket from the Zhong Family's maidservant, and wrapped it around Mrs. Zhong's body.
"Do you still have a carriage? Bring another one here for your Madam. "
The members of the Zhong Family were in a mess. After Lin Mengya gave the order, a clever man immediately led the carriage with the splendidly decorated luggage.
Although it was not as spacious as this one, it was better than nothing.
"Comfort your Madam. As for your Lord's body, bring it back to the capital city and bury it somewhere else."
The Zhong Family nodded in agreement. After all, with Princess Yu in charge, they would be convinced.
"Alright, let's go."
Baisu helped Lin Mengya down from the Zhong Family's carriage. Looking at Lord Zhong's body, Lin Mengya secretly shook her head.
When they returned to their own carriage, the three maidservants gathered around.
"Master, what's going on with Lord Zhong's family?"
Baizhi shrank her neck and asked. Wasn't it too cruel to have his head chopped off?
"Baisu, come and take a look. What is this?"
Lin Mengya did not answer Baizhi's question. Instead, she loosened her right hand that had been clenched together.
There was a small piece of silk-like thing on it, which was as thick as a hair.
"This is … this is ice silk with excellent tenacity, which is very valuable."
Baisu took it from Lin Mengya's hand. The ice silk was very soft and delicate, as if it was nothing.
"Extremely tough? If this thing is tightened, can it cut off a person's head in an instant? "
Lin Mengya suddenly thought of the news reports she had read in modern times.
Someone accidentally rode a bicycle and hit the taut fishing line. His head was instantly cut off.
Could it be that Lord Zhong also died the same way?
"It's possible, but that person would need to be extremely powerful. However, weren't there only Lord Zhong and Madam Zhong in the carriage at that time? Could it be that Master suspects … "
Baisu's eyes widened. She found it hard to believe that the murderer was Mrs. Zhong, who looked so gentle and weak.
"It can't be her. That person must have used some method that we don't know. When we return, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. I have a feeling that the Peach Blossom Dock must have something to do with it. "
Every period of time had a hint of a conspiracy.
Seeing that they were getting further and further away from Mount Lingju, Lin Mengya did not feel at ease.
Qinghu had mentioned that the killers of Peach Blossom Dock knew how to conceal their tracks.
Even if they did not, the situation was so chaotic now. If there were a few unfamiliar faces, no one would be able to recognize them.
"Baiji, tell the guards that from now on, no unfamiliar faces are allowed to approach our carriage. If there's anything, ask our guards to send the message. If there's a guard you don't know, you must ask for his identity and find someone else to prove it. "
Desperate times called for desperate measures.
As long as they could reach the Capital City safely, they would have the capital to protect themselves.
Baiji went out to pass on the message and soon returned to the horse carriage.
However, she was frowning and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
"I heard from the people outside that apart from Lord Zhong's family, a few other lords were also found dead."
"What?"
How could this happen again? Lin Mengya was startled. Oh no, she finally understood.
In fact, at the beginning, those who besieged the imperial guards were the real cover-up.
They used the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They immediately lured the guards and the imperial guards away so that they could assassinate their original targets.
"Everyone, stay alert. Don't fall into the enemy's trap."
Lin Mengya gathered with the four maidservants. Now, the four maidservants were the only ones she could trust.
Trembling with fear, they rushed toward the Capital City.
On the way, they saw many family members who had lost their backbone. They stopped on the road and were crying loudly.
Lin Mengya saw them, but she only expressed her condolences and sympathy in her heart.
Now was not the time to be compassionate or be restrained by customs.
These people had died, and it was not possible that one person had done it.
Perhaps those horrible killers were watching Lin Mengya in the dark, waiting for her to step out of the horse carriage to kill her.
"Master, are those people really dead?"
Baizhi had been by her side for so long that she had seen people die of old age and sickness.
However, she had not seen many people die in such a miserable way.
She buried her small body in Lin Mengya's arms. Why was the outside world so horrible?
"This is the cruelest and truest truth in this world."
Lin Mengya said faintly. All along, except for Baisu, the other three had never faced such a sad and strange death.
No matter how capable they were, they were kept by Lin Mengya in the Liuxin Courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion like swans.
Now, it was no longer the case. Lin Mengya felt that if the three of them wanted to face all difficulties with her in the future, the first thing they had to do was to cut off the fear of death.
"I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that no one will take care of you after I die."
Although Baizhi had changed to call Lin Mengya Master now.
But the title of Miss was the most intimate bond between the two of them.
Baizhi's clear eyes were full of determination. She fixed her eyes on Lin Mengya, trying to convey her true thoughts.
It turned out that she had neglected Baizhi's courage.
Lin Mengya patted her face and did not know what to say.
"I'm not afraid. Since I've entered the prince's mansion, I belong to you, Master."
Baiji smiled slowly and relaxed her stiff face. Lin Mengya suddenly felt that there was something extra in Baiji's calmness.
Baishao had always been bold. Now that she had gradually adapted to the threat of death, she was ready to go all out.
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if I lose my head, it's just a big scar. My life won't be in vain if I stay by your side, Master. "
Lin Mengya did not expect that the three maidservants had resisted the fear in their hearts.
Lin Mengya smiled and looked at the three maidservants. She did not know why, but she also had the strength to fight against those people.
"Alright, since you're not afraid, let's make a trap to catch those murderous demons, shall we?"
It was not Lin Mengya's style to hide in the horse carriage blindly.
The death of those people was a danger, but it was also a deterrent.
In fact, it was possible that their deaths were to force some people to submit to them.
But she, Lin Mengya, was not born to be an obedient girl!
"What are you going to do, Master?"
Not only was the lively Baizhi interested, but even Baisu, who had always been silent, had her eyes lit up.
She had always seen extraordinary things when she was by Lin Mengya's side.
Now, even those three maidservants who did not know any martial arts had made her look forward to seeing what would happen.
She had a feeling that she would see a different kind of splendor by following these people.
"The moment Baishao and Baiji went out, they brought along their guards and swaggered around, going from house to house to show their condolences. In fact, we need to find out. Who was the last person they saw before they died. I suspect that those killers are still among their servants. If we don't know what to do, we will attract their attention. "
Baishao and Baiji looked at each other and shook their heads. They were in a dilemma.
"We don't have many guards. If we take some of them away, your safety will be in danger."
Lin Mengya smiled mysteriously and pointed at Baisu.
"You all know that she is a guard given to me by Xiaoyu. But not many people know about it. Everyone thinks that she is just one of my maids. "
Lin Mengya's words enlightened Baishao and Baiji.
Yes, the things that they were proud of were not so in the eyes of others.
For example, Qinghu and Baisu.
"Okay, we understand. Just wait for the good news of our victory. Baisu, protect Master. "
Baisu nodded and put her little hands on her sleeves.
Only Lin Mengya knew that Baisu had two weapons.
One was a soft sword that was buckled around her waist, and the other was a dagger that was poisoned in her sleeves.
Therefore, she could attack and defend at any time.
Even in a small horse carriage, she did not have to worry about not being able to use her skills.
"Can you defeat the martial arts of those people from Peach Blossom Dock?"
Lin Mengya asked Baisu in a low voice. Baisu thought for a while and answered.
"I heard that Peach Blossom Dock is divided into four levels: Heaven, Black, and Yellow. The Heaven level is the highest and the Yellow level is the lowest. With my martial arts skills, if the Emperor comes, I can still fight against him. "
Baisu's calm analysis boosted Lin Mengya's confidence.
She could tell that those hidden among the guards were not top-notch martial arts masters.
She was just passing by in a hurry, but she heard the servants talking about the death of those lords, which was even more strange.
