Li Xian said with a sigh. Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes at the incense and candles in the carriage.
The Knights Templar she knew before was just the spiritual sustenance of the people of Wei.
But the Knights Templar hidden in the truth was a taboo.
The Knights Templar controlled almost everything in Wei, be it politics, economy, or religious worship.
Everything was inseparable from the control of the Knights Templar.
Apart from collecting money crazily, the Knights Templar also recruited people crazily.
But Lin Mengya didn't know what was hidden behind all this craziness.
However, she had a premonition that if these matters were to be exposed, the entire Wei Country would be plunged into chaos.
"Why do you need to buy these things?"
Long Tianhao's voice came from behind. Lin Mengya turned around and saw his disdainful expression.
"That's true. If we go with His Highness, we don't need these things."
Cai Ling smiled and didn't seem to care.
"But we still have to follow the rules. We don't want to make things difficult for His Highness."
Long Tianhao's eyes turned deep. He nodded at Cai Ling and went out to organize the team.
Lin Mengya was surprised to see the strange interaction between the two of them.
What were they hiding from her?
"Cai Ling, you …"
"I'll go and settle these things. You and His Highness can get in the carriage first."
Cai Ling deliberately avoided her. She didn't want to ask them in public, so she carried the baby and got in the carriage with Baisu and Shang'er.
The journey was smooth. But the closer they got to the Sacred City, the more trouble they encountered.
But in the end, these troubles were all for one word — money.
It was said that the King of Hell was easy to deal with, but the little devils were hard to deal with.
They didn't know how many of the obstacles along the way were set up by the Knights Templar or those people who wanted to fill their pockets.
Long Tianhao didn't seem to want to reveal his identity, so he gave whatever he could along the way.
But Lin Mengya noticed that his face was getting darker and darker.
It seemed that he was enduring something.
"This is not the Knights Templar. They are robbers, bandits, and shameless scum!"
Shang'er scolded as she wrote down the account book according to Lin Mengya's request.
"It's not like I'm spending your money. Why are you distressed?"
Lin Mengya teased her little girl while playing with the little thing in her arms.
"Nobody's money grows on trees! Miss, didn't you see how shameless that guy was just now? If this was in our house, I would have slapped him in the face long ago. How could I allow him to extort ten taels of silver from us? "
The more Shang'er spoke, the more excited she became. This little girl had always been courageous and insightful. Now that Lin Mengya had taught and spoiled her, she had become even more formidable.
"Yes, yes, yes. Young Lady Jin 'er is naturally formidable. So, you're a great person and don't hold a grudge against me. You should have heard of the saying, 'A powerful dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory.' If we are unwilling to part with this bit of money, I'm afraid that trouble will keep coming to us. "
She pinched Shang'er's little face and teased.
Lin Mengya had never been interested in suffering losses.
However, there were simply too many little ghosts here, and they were truly difficult to deal with.
Rather than spending the effort to fight them one by one, it was better to temporarily lower his head and lose some money.
"Miss, this isn't like you at all."
Shang'er put away the account book and looked at her with her big sparkling eyes.
"How is it not like me?"
She lowered her head and looked at herself. Everything was normal, except that there was a little fellow in her arms.
"In the past, you couldn't bear to suffer any losses. Now, how can you swallow this anger? "
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. But, who told you that I have to swallow my anger?"
She raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.
"Oh! I understand now! This is called a lack of forbearance in small matters spoiling great plans, right? "
Smart. She was not stingy with her praise, which made the little girl so happy that her eyes narrowed.
"So, I asked you to write them down one by one so that you can get them back one by one in the future. If you do well, these taels of silver will be your private savings in the future, okay? "
At this moment, Shang'er was even more diligent and more competent than the accountant.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The Holy City was built on the Holy Mountain. Apart from powerful and influential families like them, ordinary people might not be able to enter even if they could pay a high toll.
This was because the Holy Temple, which the people of Wei Country yearned for, was located in the Holy City.
Those who were qualified to enter the Holy Temple had to have both power and wealth.
"Is this the Holy Mountain?"
The foot of the mountain was their last stop.
Once they reached the mountain, they had to work hard to reach the Holy City before sunset.
From afar, the mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland in Xuantian.
It was said that if the weather conditions allowed, they could even see the outline of the Holy City, which was a splendid view of the sunset.
It was also because of this that the Holy City was more sacred.
Even Lin Mengya could not help but feel emotional as she stood at the foot of the mountain with the baby in her arms.
No matter what the Holy Temple was like, the person who built it must have regarded it as a place of yearning.
Only true reverence could build the Holy City in one's heart.
However, if the person knew what the Holy Temple looked like now, what would he think?
"Let's rest here for the night and go to the Holy Mountain tomorrow morning."
Li Xian bustled back and forth, and had already taken care of everything.
"Brother Li, you have been working hard these few days. I'll need your guidance when we get there," Lin Mengya said politely.
Lin Mengya replied politely. Although Li Xian was only a martial arts master, his martial arts skills were one thing. More importantly, he was very knowledgeable.
He had come to the Holy City with the Gong Family a few times in the past. Later on, when he was guarding the other families, he also came here a few times.
That was why Big Brother sent him here.
"Miss, what are you talking about? If it wasn't for the teacher who happened to pass by and saved me, I would have died by the roadside." Li Xian was emotional when he mentioned his savior.
When Li Xian mentioned his savior, he became somewhat emotional.
The teacher he mentioned was the Third Master Gong.
That year, Li Xian was just a beggar by the roadside. On a snowy day, someone broke his leg and threw him by the roadside.
The Third Master was kind and could not ignore him.
That was why he became loyal and courageous.
Even if it was a life-saving grace, who would be able to help their benefactor for several years with their own meager strength?
Therefore, the Gong Family believed in him, so did Lin Mengya.
"Let bygones be bygones. Brother Li is also the benefactor of the Gong Family. In the future, we will only talk about kinship, not gratitude. "
She had a good impression of this man who valued friendship and righteousness, so she chatted with him for a while.
Unexpectedly, there were two inquiring eyes behind her.
In the end, even the careless Li Xian felt uncomfortable, so he found an excuse to leave.
She did not turn her head, but the smile at the corner of her mouth was full of treachery.
"You ignored me the whole day, but here you are, joking with another man."
This sorrowful tone was really not that guy's usual style.
"Stop!"
She was about to walk away, but the man behind her suddenly called out to her.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?"
She turned her head and raised her eyebrows. Her smile was a little fake.
But seeing her like this, Long Tianhao could not vent his anger even if he was full of anger.
Moreover, he knew what she meant.
"Don't be angry with me, okay?"
"I don't dare to be angry with you, Your Highness."
"Cai Ling and I did not mean to hide it from you, we just did not want you to worry."
"Yes, I know."
"You deliberately ignored me, I want compensation, why don't you tonight …"
"Your Highness, please behave yourself."
"You don't have to behave yourself, my wife."
“.....”
Lin Mengya was a little speechless. When did this guy learn to be so thick-skinned?
There were people coming and going at the foot of the mountain, but Long Tianhao could not do anything to her.
The two of them carried the child and walked slowly on the street.
"What do you want to know? Just ask me. Even if Li Xian has been to the Sacred City several times, he may not be able to enter the Divine Hall. "
This guy clearly knew what she wanted to ask Li Xian, but he still came here to be jealous.
She could not help but feel a little funny, but also a little sweet.
"But didn't you say you haven't been here before?"
At least at the last Full Moon Sacrifice, he was still Long Tianhao.
How could he know what happened here?
"I don't know, but someone will know. Silly girl, do you know what I mean to the Divine Hall? "
In fact, Lin Mengya had also considered this point.
First of all, Long Tianhao was the nephew of the emperor, so he represented the royal family.
Secondly, he was one of the disciples of the current emperor, which meant he could become the Divine Hall's Divine Hall.
She was not clear about other things, but she understood one thing.
That was, no matter what, these two identities could not overlap.
Otherwise, all the power in the world would be in the hands of one person.
"Because of this, the people in the Divine Hall will not welcome you, right?"
Therefore, Cai Ling gave up what was close at hand to seek for what was far away, and spent money to avoid disaster.
"Really, I can't hide anything from you."
There was a gentle smile on his handsome face.
The servants around felt it was a little unbelievable. When did His Highness, who was always serious and colder than an iceberg, learn to be so gentle?
They did not know that some things did not need to be learned.
As long as that person was around, it would naturally show.
This must be the uniqueness of feelings.
"But why do you still want to go back to the Divine Hall? I told you, I can do it alone, you don't need to take the risk with me. "
Even if it was a dangerous place, she was not afraid.
But obviously, the danger that Long Tianhao was facing was much greater than her.
