But Master Guo shook his head, grabbed his hand, and said in a low voice,
"We are out in the martial arts world, we can't be so hostile. Listen to me, let's settle this matter with money. "
Master Guo still believed that harmony was the most important thing when doing business.
This little guy's means were not bad, but he was still young and aggressive, and his killing intent was too strong.
If this went on, sooner or later, he would suffer a great loss.
"But …"
Lin Mengya wanted to say something, but Master Guo waved his hand and stopped her.
She knew these scoundrels very well. If the first extortion was successful, there would be a second one soon.
She could leave and continue to be Princess Yu. But these people in the group of businessmen would be implicated.
Master Guo stopped her. After all, he was the leader of this group of businessmen. Lin Mengya had to hold back her thoughts and wait and see.
The leader, the meatball, looked as if he was going to eat her alive.
He sized her up from head to toe like a beast sizing up its prey.
Lin Mengya felt disgusted, but she could only pretend to be indifferent. Since Master Guo had spoken, she couldn't make things difficult for him.
"How was it? What's the result of your discussion? "
"Meatball" obviously did not take Master Guo seriously anymore. After all, Master Guo was just an old man on the surface.
However, hidden under the wrinkled old face was a rock-hard strength that had been through wind and rain.
This was the old rule of the underworld, which was totally different from the ruffians and scoundrels like them.
"Little brother, we're really sorry for injuring your brother. How about this, we'll keep the money and hire the best doctor to treat your brother. Just take it as a favor to me. "
Master Guo had given the meatball a lot of face by persuading him with such kind words.
Unfortunately, some people were born to be shameless.
The meatball felt that Master Guo's repeated tolerance was because he was afraid of his power and means.
In an instant, he tore away the hypocritical politeness and showed his shameless face.
"Humph, old man Guo. The reason why I asked for three thousand taels of silver was for your sake. What? Someone as experienced as you in the Jianghu has become dim-sighted and doesn't know how to appreciate favors! "
Master Guo's eyes turned cold at the meatball's words.
They were about to leave the city and Master Guo did not intend to stir up trouble.
Who would have thought that the youngsters nowadays didn't follow the rules at all?
His face, which had always been smiling amiably, now gradually became serious.
Master Guo was not a pushover who could be bullied by these people.
On the other hand, meatballs took advantage of the fact that they had more people on their side and did not take Master Guo seriously at all.
The situation was on the verge of breaking out. Just when Lin Mengya had prepared the poison, a figure in white appeared in front of them like a ghost.
"I was wondering who it was. So it was Qian Chuanzi, who could only walk a few days ago. What? Lord Qian, you've been holding back for too long, so you want to come here to stretch your muscles, right? How about I spar with you? "
String of money? Lin Mengya gave the meatball a strange look.
What a joke. His name was Niu Dung Qiu. How could he be such a slender creature like String of Money?
The figure in the white of the moon had completely blocked her behind his back.
The more she looked at the figure, the more familiar it seemed. It was not until the figure in her mind completely overlapped with the image in her mind that Lin Mengya cried out in shock. How could it be him?
"Gulp." The meatball named String of Money swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
There was a hint of fear in his eyes, but his face was already full of smiles.
"How dare I? So it's you. I'm just here to seek justice with my brothers. May I know what's the matter with you? "
However, the man did not care about String of Money. Instead, he turned around and smiled brightly at Lin Mengya.
"He? He's my cousin. My aunt was worried about him, so she sent me to watch over him. Why? Did my cousin cause any trouble for you? "
Lin Mengya looked at Qiu Yu's smiling face and was confused.
Wasn't this guy supposed to be in the palace taking care of the Emperor?
Why did he appear here to help her out of this predicament? Also, what did he mean when he said those words to Qian Bei Zi previously?
"You …"
Lin Mengya was about to question him, but he pushed her to the horse carriage with a smile.
He pulled Lin Mengya into the horse carriage. Then, he winked at her and turned to deal with the string of money again.
He heard that this fat piece of meat was the cousin of the man in front of him.
String of Money looked like he was about to break down.
However, this was not the end. Qiu Yu walked up to String of Money with a smile, looking like a gentleman.
"My cousin has no shortcomings, except that he is a little mischievous. String of Money, no matter what trouble my cousin has caused, as his elder brother, I will take responsibility for him. Tell me, what's wrong with my brother? "
Although Qiu Yu looked like he was willing to negotiate, he had obviously reminded Qian Xuan Zi of some extremely unpleasant memories.
Seeing that Qiu Yu was getting closer and closer, his face turned pale and his hands started to tremble.
Finally, when Qiu Yu stood very close to him, Qian Chuanzi let out an anguished wail.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he ran away without looking back.
"Big brother! Big brother! "
The remaining few burly men had already lost their minds after witnessing Qian Chuan Zi's behavior.
After glancing at the spot, they gritted their teeth and followed String of Money and disappeared in an instant.
Qiu Yu looked at String of Money with satisfaction, then clapped his hands and greeted Master Guo as if he was an acquaintance.
Finally, he got into Lin Mengya's horse carriage.
He sat on the outermost seat with a smile on his face, selectively ignoring the pair of bewildered eyes in the carriage.
"What happened just now?"
Lin Mengya pouted and asked unhappily.
Qiu Yu chose the most direct answer. He smiled and said nothing.
"Didn't we agree that you will take care of His Majesty in the palace and I will go out to look for medicine? What should we do now? Who will be responsible for His Majesty's safety? "
As for Qiu Yu, he kept looking here and there, refusing to answer no matter what.
Lin Mengya was really angry at his calm and composed look. Like a tiger pouncing on its prey, a pair of small hands pinched Qiu Yu's body like pincers.
Instantly, Qiu Yu, who was very calm, almost burst into tears.
He was too embarrassed to shout, so he could only endure it.
When Lin Mengya was satisfied, Qiu Yu looked like a little wife who had been taken advantage of. He looked at her aggrievedly with tears in his eyes.
"Tell me or not?"
Lin Mengya had always been good at extorting confessions through torture.
Baishao, on the other hand, looked out of the window obediently, as if she had seen nothing at all.
Qiu Yu looked sullen. In order to prevent Lin Mengya from carrying out the next round of torture, he had no choice but to confess his crime dejectedly. No, to hide his experience.
"His Majesty has woken up, but he still needs to rest in bed. But at least he can mobilize the people around him. I've given the medicine to the Emperor. He will take care of himself. "
Good, the answer was satisfactory.
Lin Mengya nodded and pinched Qiu Yu, who was trying to get away with it.
"Ouch —" Qiu Yu trembled in pain and continued to confess.
"That Qian Huan Zi had bullied another woman before the Spring Festival. I happened to see it, so I taught him a lesson."
After saying that, Qiu Yu revealed an innocent smile and sat there obediently like a well-behaved baby.
But Lin Mengya was not someone who could be easily fooled. She looked at the guy in front of her with a cold smile and asked darkly.
"Really? Then how did you know I was in this group of businessmen? Also, I saw that you and Master Guo are acquaintances. Tell me, what is going on? "
Qiu Yu's smile was a little stiff.
He knew that Lin Mengya was always a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things. It was more difficult to deceive her than to go to heaven.
After a few dry coughs, he said in a low voice,
"Actually, I don't know which group of businessmen you are in. But Master Guo is my acquaintance. When I came to see him a few days ago, I heard from him that there was a young couple traveling in the Nation of Lintian. So, I — "
Lin Mengya glared at him and let him go for the time being.
Qiu Yu was a smart person, so he could naturally guess that this young couple was very likely to be her in disguise.
As for why he arrived at this time and helped her out, it was not a very important matter. It was not a very important matter. However, with Qiu Yu around, they could take care of each other along the way.
After this small interlude, the group of businessmen had arrived outside the Capital City.
She looked back at the towering city wall. Lin Mengya, on the other hand, was in high spirits.
As a princess, every time she went out of the city, she had to be sneaky. This was the second time she went out so openly.
The first time was when Long Tianhao took her to visit her brother in the military camp.
She wondered if Long Tianhao would go mad with anger if he knew that she had sneaked out of the house.
Anyway, she was not afraid at all!
The group of businessmen did not move fast. After all, there were many people and goods. After a morning, everyone had become familiar with each other.
Within the territory of Dajin, although the imperial court did not encourage business, because of the development of the country, the business also prospered. As a result, the country's tax revenue also rose accordingly.
Moreover, business was a golden sheep, and the tax income it brought was enough to support the army of Dajin. Therefore, the imperial court reluctantly came up with a lot of policies to benefit the businessmen.
For example, on this official road, there were post stations set up at a certain distance, which could provide businessmen with rest, food and water on the road.
