Lying on the ground was a thin man with his hands and feet tied up.
Then, Huo Xiao, who was disguised as an ordinary guard, jumped out of the carriage.
He glanced at Uncle Huo, grabbed the man who was still struggling, and shoved him back into the carriage rudely.
Throughout the entire process, everyone quietly watched the two of them.
It was dead quiet around them.
"What is he …"
Before Zhao Jue could finish his question, he heard a hoarse voice coming from the carriage closest to Uncle Huo.
"If we wait any longer, we won't be able to make it in time for the clan meeting. Elder Zhao, I wonder if this responsibility lies with you, me, or Young Master Zhao Jue? "
Lin Mengya's unique "smoky voice" had become her trademark.
Uncle Huo instantly understood what she meant, and then said, "Master Gong, don't worry. It will only take half a day at most, and then we can set off smoothly."
"Moreover, I believe that my two clan uncles are definitely not people who will pester endlessly."
Lin Mengya said again, "That's good. After all, you and I have important things to do. If we really can't make it, you can stay, and I will go first. "
Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in her words.
Zhao Jue was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gong Ya to be here.
He immediately put on a smile, but couldn't help but blame his uncle in his heart.
"If I had known that Master Gong was here, I wouldn't have come forward to make trouble. Anyway, I have met you a few times. If you are going to leave, why didn't you tell me? I could have come to see you off. "
A hand lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Lin Mengya leaned against the window and looked at Zhao Jue indifferently.
"If I remember correctly, I don't seem to be familiar with young Master Zhao."
Her words were cold, but it couldn't stop Zhao Jue's desire to please her.
"It was all my fault just now. Master Gong, please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
Junior?
Lin Mengya was shocked by Zhao Jue's shamelessness.
No matter in terms of age or seniority, they were of the same generation, weren't they?
He was a tough character who knew when to yield and when to stand tall.
It was a pity that he had used his mind in the wrong place. He was afraid that he would not be able to go far in the future.
Seeing that her expression was still indifferent, Zhao Jue smiled and said, "It's better to come at the right time than to come early. Since I'm able to meet you today, it can be considered fate between me and Master Gong."
"In order to make amends, I am willing to personally escort you out of the city. I wonder if Master Gong can forgive my rudeness?"
Lin Mengya was confused for a moment.
Judging from Zhao Jue's behavior toward Uncle Huo, he was an ambitious and scheming young man.
But she couldn't understand.
Why was this person so respectful to her from the very beginning, and even acted pitiful and weak in front of her?
He clearly had the upper hand now, but he still had to take a step back in front of her.
There must be a reason behind this abnormality!
It could be said that the entire ancient race gave her a weird feeling.
Some people hated her to the core and were even willing to put her to death; but there were also people who respected her as an honored guest and fawned over her in every way.
These two feelings were too extreme, and even she felt a little split.
It was a pity that she didn't have any clues. She didn't know what to do and was at a loss.
Her silence was taken as acquiescence by Zhao Jue.
Thus, he waved his hand happily and ordered the people he brought to follow behind the original convoy. They followed her step by step and escorted her to the main road outside.
If they went any further, they would be out of the Zhao family's sphere of influence.
Although Zhao Jue couldn't wait to send her all the way to her destination, he still had things to do and was afraid that it was not the right time to leave.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
This was a good opportunity to increase the distance between him and Master Gong. What a pity.
"Master Gong." Zhao Jue knocked on the carriage.
"The mountain is high and the road is long. I can only send you up to here. But I believe that the fate between us will not end. One day, we will meet again. "
No, why did these words make her feel a little awkward?
"From here to the place where the clan meeting will be held, it will only take about two days, right?"
"Or are you not going to attend the aboriginal clan meeting this time?"
Zhao Jue's sad face froze.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly. "If you go a little further, you will probably be able to send me directly to the place."
What she said was the truth.
But it made Zhao Jue clench his teeth in embarrassment.
He was just being polite! Just being polite!
Everything he said was just to highlight his reluctance to part with her.
But not only did the other party not accept it, he even exposed her politeness.
Zhao Jue's face instantly turned pale. His body stiffened as he turned around and said goodbye.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes. After making sure that those people had left, she slumped in the carriage and let out a long sigh of relief.
Uncle Huo finally sped up. "Everyone, full speed ahead. Let's try to reach the posthouse before sunset!"
For a moment, the horses' hooves were galloping. The people and the carriages were jolted as they ran at full speed towards their destination.
Aunt Fang, who was sitting in the carriage, patted her chest and gave Lin Mengya a thumbs up.
"Ya 'er's idea is still the best!"
Of course, this action was taught by Lin Mengya.
Moreover, Aunt Fang sincerely admired Lin Mengya's reaction.
Originally, Uncle Huo was prepared to turn back to avoid alerting the enemy.
But at this moment, Lin Mengya asked Cai Ru to secretly pass a message to Huo Xiao.
She asked him to deliberately expose Qiao Anqing.
He remembered that Uncle Huo had mentioned before that the news of the 13 passes being broken was still confidential.
Although all the powerful families already knew about it.
But the clan meeting was imminent. No one would want to cause trouble for the Elders at this time.
After all, this concerned the future and fate of their families.
Therefore, the capture of the 13 passes should be carried out in secret.
If Zhao Jue didn't know about this, Uncle Huo could use the confidential affairs of the Elders as an excuse to pressure Zhao Jue and force him to let him go.
If Zhao Jue knew about this, he definitely wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.
After all, the attitude of the Elders was not clear.
Although the 13 passes being broken this time was the result of the careful planning of the bandits inside, collusion was inevitable.
If Zhao Jue wasn't stupid, he should know that he should choose to protect himself in this matter.
And Lin Mengya's appearance increased the bargaining chip.
"We can only hide it from him for a few days. When he finds out that the Zhao mansion is empty, he will definitely suspect our purpose."
Lin Mengya felt that the situation was not optimistic.
Moreover, she felt that Zhao Jue's identity should not be that simple.
Think about it, if he was really a powerless son of a concubine, how could he mobilize so many people to surround his uncle when his father was abandoned and his legal mother was grounded?
There must be a cause and effect in this, but they just didn't know it yet.
…
Zhao Jue was in an extremely bad mood.
In fact, he had suffered more when he was a child. But when he grew up, he paid back all of it, openly and secretly.
Even Bai Jing, who treated him and his mother as slaves, was taught a lesson.
But today, he felt very embarrassed.
"What's there to be proud of? She's just a stupid woman who doesn't know herself! "
He muttered to himself.
He took a few more deep breaths and finally adjusted his emotions.
There was a soft sedan parked in front of the Zhao mansion.
Someone was calling the door, but no matter how they knocked, there was no movement inside.
He just glanced at it, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His good brother really didn't give up!
He didn't know that he had already left. So what if he was here?
Zhao Xun, that good-for-nothing, had long lost his value.
Not to mention Zhao Yixuan, even he wouldn't put him in his eyes.
An opponent without any threat was like a pile of mud on the roadside.
So what if he stepped on him?
In the end, he could only dirty his shoes.
Now, the difference between him and Zhao Xun was like heaven and earth. He could easily crush a good-for-nothing to death.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Xun saw him.
"Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?"
Zhao Xun popped his head out of the sedan and scolded Zhao Jue viciously, "Don't be so smug! Don't tell me you really think that you, son of a b * tch, can take the throne because I'm disabled? "
"Let me tell you, my uncle won't let you little bastards have a chance to take advantage of me! The Zhao family is mine. You, son of a b * tch, can only crawl under my feet forever! "
After saying this, Zhao Xun began to pant heavily.
Now, he didn't have any of his previous handsomeness.
The shocking change at that time had completely overdrawn his body.
And then, he was deliberately ignored by Lin Mengya.
Although they didn't deliberately torture him.
But to a proud and arrogant heaven's chosen like Zhao Xun, it was better to die than to live on like this.
Unfortunately, the heavens had eyes and let him endure until his mother came.
He thought that his good days would continue, but the world turned upside down.
Zhao Jue looked down at his elder brother.
"Big brother, I really don't agree with you."
"Don't tell me you think that everyone is like you, only wanting to get everything from the Zhao family?"
Zhao Xun rudely interrupted him, "Stop pretending to be a good person!"
"If it wasn't for my mother suppressing you and your mother, I'm afraid you would have long wanted to take everything from me, right?"
He cracked his lips and smiled sinisterly, "You're just like that b * tch mother of yours, wishful thinking!"
"Sometimes, I'm actually quite envious of you, big brother." Zhao Jue said coldly, "You do have a good mother, and you also have a very capable family."
"So even if you're naturally arrogant, selfish and stupid, as long as they are around, you'll be able to live a carefree life and even inherit everything from the Zhao family in a glorious manner."
"Unfortunately, things didn't go as you wished."
"Big brother, do you really not know, or do you not dare to accept reality?"
Zhao Xun glared at him.
His eyes were wide open, like a fish out of water, making the final struggle.
