Lin Mengya frowned. After all, she had come down the mountain today to pick up her teacher.
The chaos on the street soon calmed down. Lin Mengya only felt that those people were a little strange.
She didn't know that the person who was caught was Murong Yan, who had finally escaped.
"Who told you to run!"
The leader of the group punched him fiercely.
Murong Yan, who was tied up, had no way to retreat. The taste of blood was in his throat.
"Tell me, where did you hide him?" He was dragged up and interrogated.
It was just a small warehouse used by a farmer to store miscellaneous things.
The other party was eager to succeed and showed no mercy to Murong Yan.
"You won't be able to find them even if you beat me to death. Ha, you must be tired of living if you want to use the Temple Master to threaten Madam. "
Before he could finish speaking, the other party punched and kicked him again. Murong Yan spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even so, he still had a cold smile on his face. It was as if he had seen the end of the other party.
The other party felt their hair stand on end.
They had inadvertently seen the three people who were hurrying along the road.
It was a coincidence that their master had spent a few days with Murong Yan when they were fighting against the rebels.
They thought that this person had died with the Temple Master. They didn't expect to meet him here.
The more the master of the small family thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. So, he sent someone to follow them.
He didn't expect to find out that the Temple Master was not dead!
The master of the small family thought of all kinds of benefits in a split second.
If he could get the Temple Master, he could control the emperor and do whatever he wanted. He could even make his family become the top family in Wei Country, like the Gong family.
The master, who was overwhelmed by greed, immediately ordered his men to intercept them.
He didn't expect that Long Tianhao and Murong Yan had already discovered their whereabouts and knew their plan.
When they finally caught up with Murong Yan, they realized that he was driving an empty carriage.
They didn't want to miss him, which was why the scene on the street just now happened.
"Master, he still won't say anything. What should we do? We can't beat him to death, can we? "
The master stared at his useless men with a sinister look.
"Kill him, and you'll give me such a great reward?"
"But that person is too stubborn. We've already tried all kinds of methods, but we're unable to pry open his mouth."
"Trash!" The Patriarch said coldly.
Then, he also entered the small storeroom.
As soon as he entered the room, he immediately changed his expression.
Then, he walked eagerly to Murong Yan's side.
"Aiya, Young Master Yan! It was really like a flood rushing against the Dragon King's temple, one family did not recognize the other family!
Hurry up and untie the ropes. How can you treat my honored guest like this? "
The subordinate was stunned by the roar. Didn't you order us to tie him up and beat him?
However, how could Murong Yan be deceived by the hypocrisy of such a despicable person? He sneered and said mercilessly, "I think I won't trouble you, Patriarch. I've already experienced your clan's hospitality!"
The family head continued to squint and smile. "It's all a misunderstanding. I just wanted to invite Young Master Yan here as a guest. I didn't expect them to be so rude. I'm sorry."
"Guest?" Murong Yan looked as if he had heard a joke. "Then why don't I invite you to visit the Divine Temple together?"
The family head's expression darkened. Then, he said, "That's fine. I wanted to visit the Divine Temple this time too.
Since we have the same goal, why don't you invite the other honored guest out, Young Master Yan?
There are all kinds of people here, and I'm worried about your safety. "
Even a three-year-old would not believe that.
He would not believe it, let alone Murong Yan.
"Honored guest? Aren't I the only one here? Where did the other honored guest come from? "
"Young Master Yan, are you pretending to be dumb?"
The other party no longer tried to hide and revealed a cold expression.
"Young Master Yan, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.
Everyone here wants to obtain benefits from the Divine Temple. If I leak the news that you're still alive, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time. "
Murong Yan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Isn't it the same if I'm tied up like this?
Forget it, you don't have to go through so much trouble to get information from me.
You'd better think about how to cover up what happened today. Not everyone here is a fool. "
Facing the stubborn Murong Yan, the family head had lost all his poise. He could no longer pretend to be good-tempered.
"Alright. Since Young Master Yan is so unyielding, I'll see who's going to win!"
After he said that, he walked out of the storeroom in a huff. He instructed his subordinates to torture out all the secrets Murong Yan knew in the shortest time possible.
Not long after, his men reported in a hurry, "Family head, bad news! The patrol team is here! "
The family head's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately scolded in a low voice, "Why are you panicking? Bring me to them! "
When they arrived at the front hall, the family head saw the security officer and a few patrol team members waiting for him.
He immediately put on a smile and welcomed them. "Honored guest, please excuse me for not going out to greet you!"
The security officer's surname was Bai, and he was brought by Lin Mengya from the Bai Family.
Seeing him, Sheriff Bai cupped his hands and asked straightforwardly, "I'm here to ask about what happened just now."
The family head spread out his hands and pretended to be innocent. He said, "It's just a thief who wanted to steal something from our family. My servants found out, so they chased after him.
I didn't expect that it would cause such a big commotion. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. "
Sheriff Bai nodded. "I see. Please hand the thief over to me. It's our patrol team's fault for not doing a good job.
After I bring him back, I'll definitely punish him severely, so that he won't have evil intentions again and harm others. "
Hearing this, the family head's face changed slightly. "There's no need for that. We can deal with this thief ourselves."
But Sheriff Bai insisted. "It's our dereliction of duty that such a thief still exists under our jurisdiction. Please give us a chance to make up for it."
The family head pretended to refuse again and again. Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, he turned around and pretended to order his men.
"In that case, hand the thief over to Sheriff Bai. You go and bring him here. Don't let him run away again."
With his back facing Sheriff Bai, the family head signaled his men with his eyes. The latter immediately understood and retreated. He walked around the yard for a while, and then pretended to run back out of breath.
"Family head, it's bad. He ran away again!"
The family head pretended to be shocked and asked, "How could he run away? Didn't I ask you to close the door before I left? "
The man said, "I did close the door, but the thief is very skillful. He must have opened the door by himself!
What should we do? Family head, this is bad! "
The family head and his men pretended to be in a late stage and said to Sheriff Bai, "Look, it's really their fault for not doing a good job. Please don't blame them, Sheriff Bai."
Since things had come to this point, Sheriff Bai couldn't say anything more. He could only ask, "Are you sure that the man really ran away?"
The family head's men immediately guaranteed, "Yes, he really ran away. The warehouse where the guy was locked up is empty. Why don't you go and have a look yourself?"
Not long after, Sheriff Bai came out of the house.
He walked to a carriage parked on the street, lowered his voice and said, "It's a little strange, but now they said that the person is missing. I went to have a look myself.
It's empty, and the rope is also there.
But there are some bloodstains. The person should be injured. "
A cold female voice came from the carriage.
"What did they say?"
"They just said that it was a thief who broke in to steal something. He was found by the servants of this family, so he ran away.
I've also probed the others a few times, but their answers are vague and suspicious. "
"Got it. Thank you."
"Madam, you're welcome. I'll ask someone to continue searching on the street."
"Well, thank you."
Lin Mengya and Baisu were sitting in the carriage.
She had already picked up her teacher and asked Cai Ru to go up the mountain with her.
She had been worried about this matter. She always felt that the behavior of those people just now was too strange.
Although the empty carriage was not eye-catching, the horse was a good one.
How could there be a thief who drove such an expensive BMW to steal something?
And after they caught him, they directly covered his mouth, as if they were afraid that he would call for help.
That was even more strange.
So she asked Sheriff Bai to go in and test them. She didn't expect that there was really something wrong with them.
"Master, what should we do now? Do you want me to go in and have a look? "
"I just asked Ada to go and find a place to settle down. We have to figure out what happened."
The master and servant found an inn at random.
After a while, Ada came back.
"Reporting to Master, the person they hid was actually Young Master Yan!"
Lin Mengya was shocked, "What? It's Murong Yan? Where is he now? Is His Highness with him? "
Ada shook his head and said, "I only saw Childe Yan alone. I didn't see His Highness.
Those people hid Childe Yan in the cellar before Bai Zhian was locked in.
Young Master Yan seems to have suffered a serious injury. Ah 'Er is guarding him. "
Lin Mengya took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Since Murong Yan is still alive, then His Highness must be fine. Go and talk to Young Master Yan first and ask him what exactly happened.
If Murong Yan doesn't have other plans, save him immediately. "
"Yes!"
After Ada left, she was restless.
"Something must have happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come back in such a hurry!"
Baisu thought it was a good thing. She smiled and persuaded, "I think His Highness is smart, so he can come back."
"By the way, immediately ask all the wolf guards to help. Remember to ensure the safety of His Highness. This matter must not be leaked!"
"Okay, I'll go now. Don't worry, master."
For the whole night, Lin Mengya sat in front of the window and waited.
She felt uneasy because she was about to see Long Tianhao. As time went by, the uneasiness in her heart gradually grew.
"Why hasn't he come back after such a long time?"
She paced back and forth in front of the window and asked anxiously.
Baisu also felt a little strange.
Normally, all the wolf guards came out last night. Together with Ada and Ah Er, no matter how powerful a martial arts master was, he couldn't stop them.
"Maybe it's because he was far away, so it took some time.
Master, don't worry. Sit down and have some tea first. You've been standing for a whole night. It's time for you to rest. "
How could Lin Mengya sit down?
The sky outside was already bright. There were many peddlers who came out to do business on the street, but they didn't come back.
This made Lin Mengya more worried. Could it be that they encountered some trouble that they couldn't solve?
