After swaying in the carriage for three days, they finally arrived at the valley at the entrance of the Li Family in the evening.
Long Tianhao used the binoculars to observe carefully for a while and then called Ling Ye and the rest over for a discussion.
On the other hand, Lin Mengya stayed with Li Wu Shuang and the others, deciding on a plan to deal with them once they entered.
"I still don't feel at ease. Why don't I go back and take a look myself?"
He had already arrived at his doorstep, yet Li Wu Shuang seemed to be hesitating.
He was afraid that he would implicate Lin Mengya and the others, so he might as well sacrifice himself.
Anyway, as long as Lin Mengya didn't show up, those people couldn't do anything to him.
Lin Mengya didn't even think about it, so she shook her head and refused.
"Nope. Since my identity has been exposed, they definitely won't let me leave.
Why don't we just take credit for this? You won't be so passive then. "
Li Wu Shuang's identity was an unstable factor.
If they were exposed, wouldn't the Li Clan be even more guilty?
"But …"
Li Wu Shuang was in a dilemma.
"No buts. You have to remember that we are friends. Friends should go through thick and thin together."
Lin Mengya said firmly.
Li Wu Shuang, who was wearing women's clothing again, this time only his eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears.
Seeing this, Baisu secretly held his hand.
Li Wu Shuang rubbed his eyes and gripped it back.
Lin Mengya was gratified to see that the two of them had such a good relationship.
"Madam, His Highness requests your presence."
She patted Baisu and got off the carriage with Cai Ru.
There was a simple map on Long Tianhao's lap, and he was studying it carefully.
"What did you see?"
She sat beside him and looked at the map together.
Long Tianhao pointed to the long and narrow passage and said, "If there is an ambush here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape."
According to Li Wu Shuang, although this valley was not very long, once the troops entered, if someone set up an ambush at the top of the mountain, or blocked the other side of the valley and cut off their escape route, then they would be like turtles in a jar.
"Are you afraid that they will deal with us? I don't think they necessarily want our lives. "
If not, they could have sent Li Wu Shuang to assassinate them instead of leading them here.
Long Tianhao closed the map.
"I'm thinking about our retreat."
That was a problem.
The Li Clan was located at the edge of the Aboriginals' habitat. This was the fastest way to leave.
He rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "This path is too easy to be ambushed, so I think we should take the secret path that leads straight to the Duck Mountain."
After taking in the bandits from Shangya Mountain, they also found out about the secret passage that these bandits used to transport ores to the aboriginals.
However, that secret passage led to the other side of the Ancient race's territory. If they wanted to get out from there, they would have to cross a small part of the Ancient race's territory to reach it.
At that time, if he really had to use this escape method, then no one could say which of these two paths was more dangerous.
She hesitated for a moment and was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Long Tianhao.
"I must go with you."
Long Tianhao was very determined.
She opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
"I just think that you can wait for me outside."
He lowered his eyes and gently stroked his legs.
"Do you think that I'll be a burden if I follow you?"
"No, no, that's not what I mean!"
She immediately hugged Long Tianhao's neck and rubbed his cheek to please him.
"You will only be my greatest help. How can you be a burden?"
"Then let me go, okay?"
Long Tianhao gently stroked her long hair.
"I'll always be worried if you go alone."
Since he had already put it this way, Lin Mengya had no reason to stop him.
"Okay, then let's go together. Don't think too much, I really don't mean that. "
She hurriedly promised him, for fear that her man would overthink.
But she didn't see that there was a smile hidden in his eyes.
It turned out that what he said just now was all an act to deceive her.
Before entering the valley, Lin Mengya and the others made arrangements.
Their previous actions were considered secretive, and not many people were exposed.
Apart from those who rarely showed their faces, this time they simply became guards on the surface. The others were still hiding in the dark, looking for opportunities to sneak in.
But even so, there were still more than a hundred people and three horse carriages directly entering the valley.
It was dark and long inside. The cliffs on both sides were straight, and the narrowest part was only enough for one horse carriage to pass through.
All the guards were on high alert, preparing for any sudden accidents.
Long Tianhao kept holding her hand and closed his eyes to rest, as if he wasn't worried at all.
After walking for about half an hour, there was finally a report from outside.
"Master, Madam, we've come out."
The two of them suddenly felt relieved. Lin Mengya couldn't wait to open the curtain of the horse carriage. Outside, there was a wide open space, and both sides of the road were fertile fields.
No wonder Li Wu Shuang valued the Li family so much. Just by looking at the scenery here, one could feel the hard working and positive side of the Li family.
On both sides of the field, there were paddy plants.
Although it was not the season to harvest the rice, the verdant wheat fields made people feel good.
"This place is really a paradise!"
Lin Mengya sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Long Tianhao looked at her tenderly and said in a low voice, "In the future, when everything is settled and the children have grown up, let's find a place like this to spend the rest of our lives, okay?"
"Really?"
Her eyes were bright and full of expectation.
Long Tianhao couldn't help but touch her nose.
"Of course it's true."
"That's great, then I'll plant a lot of fruit trees, and build a grape trellis in our yard.
In summer, we can enjoy the cool, and in autumn, we can eat grapes together.
Oh yes, I can also make wine! "
She probably really liked this kind of life, even if the picture was just a beautiful vision, she still couldn't stop thinking about it.
Long Tianhao looked at her dotingly, nodding from time to time, or perfecting her idea.
"I can't wait!"
At the end, Lin Mengya still wanted to continue.
The more she wandered, the more she missed this feeling of stability.
"There will be a day like that."
He put his palms together and wrapped her little hands together.
"I'm just saying. You see, we have so many things to do, how can we leave them all behind?
In fact, I don't want much, as long as the person I care about the most is by my side, it doesn't matter where we are. "
Long Tianhao kissed her hand.
"Yes, I will fulfill all your wishes.
”
She nodded hard, and her eyes turned into a crescent moon.
"Master, Madam, someone has come to pick us up."
A voice coming from outside pulled them back to reality.
Lin Mengya calmed herself down, looked at Long Tianhao, and then tidied up her clothes and walked out of the carriage.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Madam."
Outside the carriage, a kind-looking old man was bowing to them.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows.
"Why, I remember that you invited the master of the Gong family?"
The man was stunned, and then immediately apologized.
"It's all my fault. Yes, please forgive me, master of the Gong family."
Lin Mengya was very clear about their purpose.
It was nothing more than to get everything in her hands, including the Gong family, which was already the top aristocratic family.
Putting her behind Long Tianhao was nothing more than treating her as his vassal.
She didn't need to respect a place that didn't know how to respect her.
Naturally, she didn't need to worry about anything.
"Her Highness is not feeling well, so we won't get off the carriage. May I know who you are?"
Obviously, her arrogance surprised the old man.
However, he still maintained a respectful expression and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness's health is alright? I'm Song Jian, just a small steward of the Elders.
If Her Highness needs anything, I'll try my best to meet your requirements. "
"No need. Everything that Her Highness needs is here, and I've already prepared it. We just need a place to rest, and Her Highness doesn't like noise. "
Song Jian immediately agreed and hurriedly sent the group of people to the front of a farm.
Lin Mengya got out of the car and glanced at it indifferently. She neither expressed satisfaction nor disgust.
"Alright, if there's anything, we'll contact you. Guards, help Her Highness get off the carriage. "
She walked past Song Jian and went straight in.
The guards quickly brought Long Tianhao and his wheelchair down from the carriage.
Intentionally or unintentionally, they completely squeezed Song Jian out, leaving him with no place to intervene.
Looking at the majestic group of people going in, while he was locked outside, Song Jian's face slowly turned blue.
Hmph! This group of reckless guys, how dare they put on airs in front of me.
"Call that girl from the Li family over!"
He said fiercely.
His trusted aide immediately slipped in from the back.
Not long after, Li Wu Shuang, who was dressed in women's clothing, came out from inside.
"Wu Shuang, you're really capable!"
Facing Li Wu Shuang, Song Jian wasn't that kind.
Li Wu Shuang shrunk his neck, but his face was filled with anger.
"I've brought them to you according to the agreement, when will you let my father and uncle go?"
"No hurry."
Song Jian said slowly, and squinted his eyes.
"I think you should know that no matter what, you and I are both from the ancient tribe.
No matter how powerful they are, once they're in our territory, they won't be able to cause any trouble.
If you're obedient, I'll talk to the Elders, and let them go this morning.
But if you're disobedient, hmph, then don't blame me for not considering our old relationship. "
The obvious threat made Li Wu Shuang very angry.
"Song Jian, don't forget, you could become a steward because of the support of my father and the others!
Now, you're biting the hand that feeds you! "
