Actually, Huo Xiao could not see the situation clearly.
For the Elders Guild to recruit them with such great fanfare, they must have the intention of using the first batch of people as bait.
Now, it seemed that the other party had achieved their goal.
If Huo Xiao led his men to rescue them, wouldn't that be walking right into the trap?
So, Long Tianhao, who had already seen through the other party's goal, could do nothing. As long as he delayed, the other party would definitely make another move.
In this way, the other party would more or less give themselves away, and they would not be completely passive.
Speaking of which, Long Tianhao's plan was a bit of a scam. However, they had too many enemies, and the power they could use now was too little. Their only two allies could not work closely with each other for the time being.
At the end of the day, it was because they were at a disadvantage in terms of power.
There was nothing they could do about it.
Even if there were frequent disputes among the aboriginals, the elders still had the right to speak.
If they declared war on the elders now, they would become the common enemy of the aboriginals in the next moment.
So, in this trip to the Sheng family, apart from protecting the Gan family, their biggest goal was to find allies.
The Li family had also received the invitation from the Sheng family.
But because the head of the Li family was not around, Li Ao, the young master, had to bite the bullet and go.
But when Lin Mengya mentioned this to Li Ao, she noticed that his expression was not quite right.
"What's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind? "She put aside the serious matter and asked casually.
Li Ao immediately shook his head, but it looked like he was trying to hide something.
At this point, even a fool could see that there was something wrong with this guy.
"Just tell me if you have any difficulties. It's not that you have to go to the Sheng family this time. At most, we can just say that you have something on and can't go. As long as we give them a generous gift, I think the Sheng family won't be able to find anything wrong with it."
She thought that Li Ao was worried about his family.
But unexpectedly, that person shook his head. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and looked like a warrior who would never return.
"Damn it! It's just the Sheng family, not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. I'm not that scared. "
"Then why are you …"
"Because I was once one of the candidates for Miss Sheng's husband."
In the end, it was Li Wu Shuang who couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled his eyes at Li Ao and revealed his secret.
"Ha? There's such a level? "
Lin Mengya immediately looked at Li Ao with a teasing look.
Sure enough, at the mention of his ex-girlfriend, this guy's face turned red. He was obviously shy.
"Ahem, then you'd better not go. An ex-boyfriend going to his ex-girlfriend's wedding, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he's going to mess things up. "
She continued to tease him with a smile.
But Li Ao quickly calmed down.
"I've only met Miss Sheng twice. We don't really know each other. Besides, it's been so long, I'm sure Miss Sheng has already forgotten about me. "
His attitude was quite magnanimous.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal.
Between the ancient clans, there would often be such blind dates and gatherings.
Although he had seen Miss Sheng before, he had not spoken much with her. After greeting each other, they had returned to their respective positions as elders.
Because of this, he volunteered to go with them.
Still, he was a little hesitant because he was afraid that Miss Sheng and her future husband would misunderstand.
Yeah.
(This chapter is not over. Please continue to the next page.)
Among the Eight Freaks, Lin Mengya had always refused to fall behind others.
She pursed her lips into a smile and deliberately hinted at Li Ao with her eyes.
"Then what are your thoughts about Miss Sheng?"
To be honest, she did not have many grudges with Childe Tu, nor did she want to instigate Li Ao to kidnap the bride.
Long Tianhao glanced at her and shook his head gently.
It seemed that his mistress had been suppressing herself recently.
Li Ao was a little shy, but his words were clear.
"I don't have any improper thoughts about Miss Sheng."
"Then is Miss Sheng not beautiful? Or is she bad-tempered? "Lin Mengya was even more curious.
Because the entire Li family's style tended to be feminine and handsome, and the most outstanding people in the family were the seedlings of cross-dressing big shots.
In her opinion, at least in terms of appearance, Li Ao was not inferior to Childe Tu.
Moreover, Li Ao was the young master of the Li family, so he should be slightly better than the groom, right?
Lin Mengya's untimely desire to win was burning at this moment.
Li Ao slightly frowned when he mentioned this.
"The young lady of the Sheng family is beautiful and gentle. It's just that …"
"But what?" She was extremely curious.
Li Ao, on the other hand, hesitated for a while before he smiled bitterly and helplessly said, "She thought I was a woman at first sight. Later, although my father and I repeatedly corrected her, she still thought that we were fooling her. "
Li Ao was speechless.
The reason why he had such a deep impression of Miss Sheng was that she was the first person who mistook him for a woman. Later, when he tried to clarify, she was furious because of it.
"Really?"
Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that the reason for their failure was this.
Li Ao nodded. He also felt like he had no choice but to give up.
"Miss Sheng blamed me for being prettier than her. But I am a man, and she is a woman. There is no comparison between us."
Lin Mengya could not hold back her laughter, so she had to hide her face in her husband's arms.
What was going on!
What if the blind date thought that she was prettier than her?
When she was able to control her expression, she turned around and pretended to feel sorry for him.
"You really don't know how to appreciate beauty. Don't worry, you will find a wife who doesn't mind that you are too beautiful. Moreover, it is good to be good-looking. You are pleasing to the eyes at home, and others will be jealous of you when you go out. Tsk, you don't know how to appreciate beauty. "
Hearing this, Long Tianhao could not help but have a ridiculous idea.
Did Ya 'er accept him because he was good-looking?
Suddenly, Long Tianhao, who had never doubted his own charm, fell into deep doubt.
What if one day he became old, wouldn't Madam lose interest in him?
This possibility made Long Tianhao frown.
It seemed that it was urgent to take good care of his appearance!
Lin Mengya had no idea that her man was imagining a big show. After learning about the past between Li Ao and Miss Sheng, she decided on the time to set off.
The situation of the Li Family had basically stabilized. With Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao mediating between the Li Family and the Gan Family, they did not have to worry about being attacked from both sides.
At the same time, they did not hide the cooperation with the Gan Family from Li Ao.
There were also friends who were close and distant. Li Ao's relationship with them was definitely much deeper than that of the Gan Family.
But on this matter, his reaction was far beyond their expectations.
(This chapter is not finished. Please continue.)
Although they still had a feud, Li Ao only kept silent for a moment before he calmly accepted the temporary cooperation agreement with the Gan Family.
From this point, Lin Mengya admired Li Ao's breadth of mind.
Compared to the young people of the Gan Family who were of the same generation as him, Li Ao was indeed ahead of them. He basically had the character and ability of an excellent master.
Perhaps in a few years, the Gan Family's advantage would be gone.
At that time, it was uncertain who would gain the upper hand.
After settling their own people, they finally set off for the Sheng Family.
In the Sheng Family's city, the guests coming and going were very lively.
The festive red spread, making the Sheng Family's city which was built against the mountains look like a fire dragon that was about to take off.
"The territory of the Sheng Family is much bigger than that of the Li Family and the Gan Family."
In the carriage, Lin Mengya, who was wearing a cloak, rubbed her hands and looked outside with interest.
Although it was just the beginning of autumn, the temperature here was several degrees lower than outside.
It was pleasant and cool in summer, but autumn made her feel a little cold.
What if they spent the winter here?
"The Sheng Family is a flux clan. Naturally, they have more people and more territory."
Long Tianhao pulled his wife into his arms.
Even on the way, Lin Mengya did not forget to use dragon sand to warm him up.
Although the effect of the dragon sand was not as obvious as before in the follow-up treatment, it could at least ensure that his blood vessels were unblocked.
His body temperature was much higher than Lin Mengya's.
"The weak are prey to the strong. It seems that the aboriginals can't escape this law of nature."
The big clans would annex the small clans, and the weak would attach themselves to the strong. In the end, only the strongest would be left.
This kind of struggle was unavoidable in any period of history.
If one did not want to disappear, then one must work hard to become strong.
She was very clear that there would never be absolute fairness in this world.
She leaned lazily in the warm embrace. After a while, she felt a little drowsy.
In order to save time, and also to avoid trouble on the way.
During this period of time, they had traveled day and night to get here.
Long Tianhao had already felt her exhaustion, and he gently covered her eyes with his big hands.
"Sleep. I'll wake you when we arrive."
"Okay."
In a daze, Lin Mengya fell asleep peacefully.
But because of that, she passed by a group of people dressed as guards outside the carriage.
Each of them was holding a portrait in their hands, and they were carefully examining the passersby.
When she woke up, they had already arrived at the inn where they were staying.
The Sheng Family was a big family. Naturally, there was no need to treat them harshly.
It was just that the representatives of the families who were on the same level as the Sheng Family or had a close relationship with them were all invited to the Sheng Family's mansion.
For example, although the inn they were staying in was clean and comfortable, there was nothing special about it.
Lin Mengya stretched herself and leaned against the window.
Soon, she noticed the people who were patrolling the streets with portraits in their hands.
At this time, Cai Ru and Qinghu had brought her dinner.
"Who are they looking for?"
She pointed downstairs.
Qinghu looked at where she was pointing and immediately twitched his mouth.
"They are looking for a woman."
