There was a hint of caution in his tone.
Lin Mengya couldn't bear to see him like that. She comforted him gently, as if she was comforting Snow and the baby tiger.
"Okay, I'll believe you."
Everything had to be done step by step. She never regretted falling in love with him, nor did she want to fall in love with anyone else.
Even though there were all kinds of problems between them, she believed that one day, the clouds would clear up and a new dawn would come.
"Okay."
Long Tianhao suppressed the throbbing in his heart as he smelled the herbal fragrance on her.
The surging emotions were stained with dark ink. He didn't dare to let her know how many dangerous thoughts he had in a short moment.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't realize that Ya 'er was the only thing that prevented him from falling into darkness.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. This is the territory of the Mu Family. Why hasn't his men been alerted after we made such a big noise?"
She was so shocked that she forgot that they were still in a wolf's den.
Long Tianhao finally showed a mischievous smile. He touched her little nose and teased her.
"Isn't it a little late to think of it now?"
"Humph, I don't know who made me panic. But this is one of the strongholds of the Mu Family. If something happens, it will definitely alert the enemy. "
Seeing that he looked worried, Long Tianhao stopped joking and said seriously.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how big the noise you make here, no one outside will find out. Something serious had happened to the Mu family tonight. Even the people here had been transferred away. As for the rest of the people, they were told not to get close no matter what happened. This is the biggest secret of the Mu Family. How can they not be careful? "
Could it be that Second Brother was eager to clear his name, so he took action in advance?
According to their plan, Second Brother could only take action when there was a conflict between Mu Yucheng and Gong Tu.
No, in this way, the Gong Family would be more suspicious.
"Long Tianhao, help me to check if Second Brother's action has been exposed."
Long Tianhao raised his eyebrows. Obviously, he didn't know about the action of the Gong Family.
Lin Mengya hurriedly explained, but the latter shook his head and said.
"I don't think it's about your second brother. It's about Mu Yucheng. Right now, the situation is unclear, and they won't be able to rush back in time. Why don't we go and take a look? "
She immediately nodded and agreed. Before she left, she hid Xiu on the bed and asked Long Tianhao's men to guard her in case of emergency.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them hurried to the Mu family's residence.
The blazing fire dyed the night sky red.
Before she even got close, her nose picked up the smell of burnt smoke along with the wind.
"Ahem, don't go any further. It might be dangerous."
She covered her mouth and nose and pulled Long Tianhao back.
The latter leaped up and brought her to a roof in the corner. They hid in the shadows and watched the Mu family's situation closely.
"What smell do you smell?"
Long Tianhao knew that she had a good sense of smell. When he saw her frown and her nose twitch from time to time, he knew that she must have found something.
"It's the smell of burnt flesh. There's the smell of animal flesh and human flesh. There's also the smell of some herbs. It's strange. Why didn't I notice these things before? "
"Maybe Mu Yucheng is hiding. Let's go around from the back."
Long Tianhao took Lin Mengya and ran in the darkness.
They went around the front yard, where the fire was the fiercest, and went around in a circle to the backyard.
Strangely, the fire was burning fiercely in the front yard, but the smoke in the backyard was very faint.
They looked at each other and sneaked into the backyard of the Mu family's residence.
She grabbed Long Tianhao's hand and whispered in his ear.
"Wait."
Long Tianhao seemed to realize something. He held her in his arms and quickly ducked into the corner.
Very quickly, two black figures bent over and slipped out along the wall.
Lin Mengya had been staring at the two people, and Long Tianhao understood what she meant. He only responded after the two people left.
"They can't run away."
The two of them continued to walk inside, and the air gradually became hot and dry. The chaos in the front yard was enough to cover up the sound of their footsteps, which were already soft.
Soon, they got close to the yard where Mu Yucheng lived.
Because Lin Mengya smelled the strongest burning smell of herbs, not in the front yard, but in here.
They held their breath subconsciously and peeked their heads out at the corner of the wall.
A huge bonfire had been set up in the courtyard.
Mu Yucheng's back was facing them, and he was filling a sack of herbs into it.
The light from the fire flickered strangely on his back.
In the courtyard, there were a few corpses strewn all over the place.
They were servants of the Mu family, judging from their attire.
After he threw all the herbs into the fire, she saw Mu Yucheng pull out a piece of wood from the fire and set the corpses on fire.
Instantly, the smell of fresh roasted meat wafted out.
Lin Mengya covered her mouth and nose, and her eyes were full of disgust.
It seemed that Mu Yucheng had killed those people to keep them quiet.
This person had such a vicious heart. But on second thought, she felt that it was a little strange.
Since he was killing people to keep them quiet, the fewer people who saw it, the better.
She wondered what was on Mu Yucheng's mind. He had mobilized all his men here. Was he not afraid that the news would leak out?
The yard was on fire, and at this moment, Mu Yucheng left the yard expressionlessly.
The two of them followed behind him silently, only to see Mu Zhenzheng running up to him with an anxious look on his face.
"Young Master, I'm afraid we can't keep this house. Please get out of here quickly, lest you get hurt."
Mu Yucheng turned around and looked at the burning yard with a sinister look.
"It's okay. Keep an eye on Su Mei and Lin Mengwu. With them around, I can turn the tables at any time!"
His voice seemed to be filled with endless hatred.
But Lin Mengya felt that if Mu Yucheng had deliberately set the fire, he seemed to have gone too far.
In order to avoid being discovered, they did not follow him.
Just when they were about to leave, they saw a few people rushing over.
The one leading them was a familiar face.
"Search carefully, don't miss a single corner!"
Although she deliberately lowered her voice, Lin Mengya could still recognize that the woman in charge was Song Lin 'er, the cousin of the Mu Family.
What was she doing here? And she was looking for something.
They did not expect to find such an unexpected find. They retreated into the darkness and watched the movements of these people.
They were well-trained and had the same goal.
In the blink of an eye, they entered the yard where Mu Yucheng lived. The fire was not small, but the clothes of these people seemed to be a little special, and they were not afraid of the fire.
After a few rounds, they searched the yard, but no one was hurt.
"Useless! You can't even find such a small thing, why are you still alive? "
Song Lin 'er was so angry that she screamed at them because she did not achieve what she wanted.
They did not dare to talk back, and could only kneel on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Song Lin 'er was so angry that she pulled out a hairpin from her hair, grabbed one of the people closest to her, and stabbed it into his eyes.
"Ah …"
The shrill scream sent chills down Lin Mengya's spine. Unexpectedly, Song Lin 'er pulled out the hairpin slowly and carefully wiped the man's face with it.
Song Lin 'er seemed to have vented her anger, and the expression on her face became much gentler.
"Alright, I can spare your lives on account of the fact that the fire was started in time. But I want you to find out all the secrets of the Mu Family in the shortest time possible, do you hear me? "
"Yes."
Song Lin 'er turned around and looked at the burning fire reluctantly.
She snorted with disdain and turned to leave. The man who was blinded by her was also helped away by his companions.
After making sure that the two groups of people had left, Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya quickly escaped from the fire.
Looking from afar, the yard of the Mu Family was already shrouded in a sea of fire.
But the doubts she had tonight did not disappear with the fire.
Finally, when she was completely away from the source of the fire, she felt much cooler.
The train of thought in his mind also became clearer.
"Isn't Song Lin 'er in cahoots with Mu Yucheng?"
Lin Mengya had guessed that Song Lin 'er was not a simple person at first sight.
Song Lin 'er must have set the fire to find out some secrets of the Mu Family.
"Although the Song Family and the Mu Family are related by marriage, I'm afraid there will be conflicts of interest. It's almost dawn, I'll send you back first. Be careful, I'll think of a way to get you out as soon as possible. "
"Okay, you too. Be careful."
They said goodbye reluctantly. Long Tianyu personally sent her back to the medicine shop and disappeared without a trace.
Before leaving, Long Tianyu told her the symptoms of being poisoned in detail.
After one night, she would be back to normal, and there was no need to deliberately hide anything. But the discomfort in her body would still last for a few days, and she only needed to pretend that she was uncomfortable.
She went back and woke Xiu up.
The latter listened to her explanation with a dumbfounded look on his face. Only then did he feel a lingering fear.
"I didn't expect there to be such a strange thing in the world. Elder Sister Ya, are you okay now?"
Lin Mengya was not sure, but it was useless for the time being.
After the two of them discussed the countermeasures, the sky brightened. It was already early morning.
Lin Mengya lay back on the bed, while Xiu jumped out of the room with a panicked look.
"Someone come quickly! My master is poisoned! "
The sharp voice penetrated the dim morning light.
Lin Mengya lay quietly on the bed, and there was a scheming look in her eyes.
