After being exposed by her words, the man also put away the hypocritical smile on his face.
"It seems like you don't want to talk to me."
"There's no point in talking. If you have the ability, take my life. If not, leave immediately and I'll pretend this never happened. "
She didn't want to have a conflict with the man, but he didn't appreciate it.
"Since that's the case, you can stay here. Do it! "
He waved his hand, and the people who had been hiding rushed out.
At a glance, there were close to a hundred of them.
"Master, don't worry and wait in the carriage. The Jackdaw Guard will ensure your safety!"
Cai Ru dragged her into the carriage and stood guard at the door after whispering to her.
The noise coming from outside made Lin Mengya frown even tighter.
Based on the number of people outside, at least half of the people invited by the fake Zhao Yixuan were standing against her.
The Jackdaw guards were highly skilled and had great teamwork.
However, the disparity in numbers was too great. Fortunately, they had sent out a distress signal.
"Master Gong, don't fight like a cornered beast. Even if you can leave the Zhao family, you won't be able to deal with the entire aboriginals' pursuit. If you want to blame someone, blame your fate. Of all the places you could have gone, you just had to come here. "
The man seemed even more confident.
The more Lin Mengya thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.
She couldn't understand how she had become the common enemy of the aboriginals.
Gritting her teeth, she stuck half of her body out and shouted at the person through the crowd.
"Even if you want me to die, you have to let me know why. Let me ask you, why do you have to kill me? "
The man didn't answer her directly.
"We have no choice but to kill you. Master Gong, to be honest, we don't want to become enemies with you if there's any possibility. However, you and the aboriginals are mortal enemies. "
"What a joke!" She retorted angrily.
"I've never become enemies with you. I've even saved your people several times, but you return my kindness with ingratitude!"
The man seemed agitated.
"Do you think we want to be trapped in this small place forever? Gong Family Head, you are the shackles of the ancient race. Only with your death can we obtain true freedom! For our people, you must die! "
What shackles?
The more she listened, the more confused she became.
Just as she was considering whether she should capture the man and interrogate him, a ghostly figure quietly appeared behind the man.
Almost at the moment when Lin Mengya realized it, the dagger had already entered the man's chest.
"Stop!"
The Jackdaw Guard had already secured an overwhelming victory.
The crowd parted, and Cai Ru protected her as they ran towards that person.
But at this moment, apart from the corpses that had fallen to the ground, there was no sign of anyone else.
Cai Ru squatted down and checked his pulse and breathing rate.
"Dead."
Lin Mengya had confirmed this result.
"Did you see clearly who killed him just now?"
She looked at Cai Ru and asked.
He shook his head with a solemn expression.
In that kind of chaos, apart from her and her master, no one else would have noticed that someone had appeared by that person's side.
Cai Ru knew that her master was sharper than her.
But now, even her master wasn't sure. It could only mean that her master was hallucinating, or that the killer was too fast and nimble.
For a moment, her nerves were stretched taut. She was afraid that the elusive killer would harm her master.
At this moment, the ragtag troops had completely lost their ability to fight.
Without Lin Mengya's orders, the Jackdaw Guard knocked out those who were still alive and made them lose their ability to fight.
Not long after, Long Tianhao's men rushed over.
But judging from their condition, they must have encountered the same situation on their way here.
"Alright, pack up and let's go back."
Lin Mengya looked at the corpses on the ground, feeling uneasy.
She didn't expect the small Zhao family to be so mysterious and dangerous.
"Your Highness, Zhou Shao has been killed."
Long Tianhao, who was sitting in the courtyard, was expressionless. "Did he say anything that he shouldn't?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Zhou Shao didn't know much, and I killed him before he said anything. Madam will never know."
"That's good."
At this moment, Long Tianhao was cold and ruthless.
His ink-black eyes did not seem to have any human warmth.
No one could go beyond his control, and no one could tell his wife about those things without his permission.
"Go and make a trip yourself and tell the rest of them to shut up." He ordered.
Ren Yi nodded and immediately left with his order.
It was as black as ink, and it also covered the meandering traces of scarlet blood.
"Are you frightened?"
Lin Mengya's thoughts were interrupted. She looked up and saw Long Tianhao standing outside the carriage.
She reached out her hand and let him pull her out. Then, they walked side by side into the manor.
"I heard that you were almost killed on your way here. I'm sorry, it would be better if I went to pick you up myself."
"It's none of your business. Even I didn't expect things to turn out this way."
She sighed and looked at Long Tianhao with disappointment. "Don't you think I'm very unlucky? I didn't do anything, but they treated me as an enemy. They even wanted to kill me! "
Long Tianhao smiled and held her hand.
"It's their problem. What does it have to do with you?"
"But I just don't understand. Why?"
She frowned and seemed to be very distressed.
"Why did that person say that I was the shackle that bound them?"
Long Tianhao shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe he suddenly lost his mind. To be honest, I always feel that there is something wrong with the aboriginals here. "
He nodded his head.
"Otherwise, why would they think that my wife is a bad person? They must be out of their minds."
Long Tianhao's tone was different from her frowning face. It was more like he was coaxing her.
"Well, I'm not stupid enough to take all the blame for my mistake. I know there must be a misunderstanding. But they wronged me for no reason. I'm not a saint. I'm not going to stick my face to their cold buttocks again! "
But unexpectedly, Long Tianhao deliberately put on a straight face and protested. "Those old buttocks don't deserve it!"
"That's enough! Why can you go astray every time we talk about serious matters? "
Lin Mengya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt better than before.
Seeing this, Long Tianhao didn't tease her anymore. He grabbed his wife and went in to drink some nourishing soup.
The next day, the person in charge of gathering information from the Zhao family came back with a piece of shocking news.
In one night, all the guests had disappeared!
"Really? Not a single person?"
Lin Mengya couldn't believe it, but the news brought by the Jackdaw Guards was very certain.
"I've already checked with the people in the Zhao mansion. They said that everything was normal before they went to bed last night. They didn't hear any guests saying that they were going to leave. But this morning, when they went to deliver breakfast to all the courtyards, they found that all the rooms were empty.
Even their luggage disappeared into thin air. Nothing was left. "
This was completely out of her expectations.
She waved her hand to dismiss them. The feeling of danger last night made her hair stand on end. She couldn't help but shudder.
"Master, perhaps they realized that they had been exposed, so they fled in the middle of the night."
Although Cai Ru was surprised, she wasn't as sensitive as Lin Mengya.
"I can't rule out this possibility, but I still have to go and see for myself."
She was about to leave in a hurry, but just as she jumped into the carriage, she saw Aunt Fang rushing over on horseback from afar and stopped her.
"Miss Gong, the road is clear!"
"What?" She had been paying attention to the situation on the road, but according to her calculations, it would take at least five to six days to completely clear the road.
"My men only saw it this morning. I don't know who was so impatient to dig such a big hole. I went over to take a look, and a carriage can go in and out. "
Fang Rao was actually very surprised.
One had to know that in a place like the aboriginals, one would either not see a single snowflake for an entire year or be blocked by snow for more than a month.
Of course, everyone thought of digging a hole in the snow wall.
But first, it required a lot of manpower, and it was very easy for ordinary people to get frostbite. Second, the snow hole could easily collapse, and it would be even more dangerous if people were buried in it.
Therefore, unless there was a huge emergency, everyone would obediently wait for the snow to melt and the road to clear up.
"It seems like it was those people who dug it."
Lin Mengya thought that it was Jiang Yishui and his men, so she didn't think too much about it.
Once the road was cleared, they were faced with a more serious problem.
The Elders Guild and the Zhao family would probably arrive soon.
But the fake Zhao Yixuan was still unconscious.
Although they still had Zhao Laosi to deal with, that person was ultimately unreliable.
"Miss Gong, Zhao … that person, when will he wake up?"
Aunt Fang looked a little uncomfortable, but Lin Mengya knew that Aunt Fang would definitely not ignore the fake Zhao Yixuan.
"Although he hasn't woken up yet, I've already confirmed that it's not because of his body. According to Zhao Laosi, when they were modifying Huo … no, that person, they also had a trick up their sleeves. "
"If he suspects his own identity, then the hint buried in his heart will be activated. At that time, all of his consciousness will be destroyed, and he will become a zombie. "
Even though Fang Rao didn't understand the reason behind it, she felt that it was very dangerous.
She couldn't help but clench her fists, and her emotions also became tense.
"According to what you said, does that mean that he will never remember?"
Lin Mengya saw that Aunt Fang's eyes had unconsciously turned red, and she also sighed.
They obviously missed each other very much, but they had to torture each other like this. What a pair of bitter mandarin ducks.
"If he had met another doctor, there would definitely be no hope."
"But fortunately, I was by Uncle Huo's side at that time, and that was how the self-destruction of his consciousness was stopped by a freak combination of factors."
Fang Rao's heart was in turmoil as she listened to Lin Mengya's words.
Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, and grabbed Lin Mengya's sleeve, begging in a low voice.
"Miss Gong, please save him. No matter what price I have to pay, I can do it. "
Lin Mengya held Aunt Fang's hand, and said seriously, "It's not that I don't want to help him, but his consciousness has passively fallen into a deep sleep to protect himself."
"Aunt Fang, I can't forcibly wake his consciousness, but you can."
