Seeing Lin Mengya's abnormal behavior, Qinghu quickly realized what was going on.
He sighed faintly. Sometimes, he didn't want Lin Mengya to be so sensitive.
"In fact, the pepper farmers in Yushan County are not the most miserable. But as long as there is greed in the world, there will inevitably be people who suffer like this. Lass, I know you're kind, but you can't change that. Even if Xiaoyu becomes the king of Lieyun in the future, some things will still exist. "
After a long time of Qinghu's consolation, Lin Mengya let out a sigh of relief.
"Maybe you're right, but I hope that one day, this kind of thing will be less and less. When we get there, let's give this cart of pepper to them. At least it won't be wasted. "
Lin Mengya, who had escaped from Yushan County, did not feel happy at all.
She recalled how extravagant the Xin family's banquet was.
But at the thought that their wealth was obtained by robbing the people's fat and fat, Lin Mengya felt very depressed.
Qinghu was right. This kind of thing happened many times in previous dynasties.
Now, she was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect herself.
If she wanted to change, she had to wait until Xiaoyu came out of the Pool of Ten Thousand Gu.
At that time, no one in Lieyun could threaten Xiaoyu's position.
Xiaoyu would bring a new atmosphere to Lieyun.
"Miss, are we going to change into our own clothes here?"
Baisu was finally relieved when she saw that Lin Mengya was no longer stubborn.
To be honest, she was really afraid that Lin Mengya would stand up for them.
Although it was not a disadvantage, it would expose their whereabouts, which was not worth the loss.
"Not now. I think even if we escape from Yushan County, the Xin family may still set up secret sentries outside. Let the people waiting for us go first. We'll meet up when I think it's safe. "
The Xin family had put in a lot of effort this time, so they would not easily let go of a fish that escaped the net.
They were lucky to be able to escape, so they had no choice but to be extra careful.
Fortunately, the road to Dajin was not in the same direction as the road to the capital.
Otherwise, with the Xin family's cautiousness, they would definitely interrogate them on this road.
Anyone who came out of Yushan County might be under surveillance.
In particular, the road to Royal City was of utmost importance.
There were many small merchants selling pepper in Yushan Commandery. These merchants would be scattered all over the country.
Lin Mengya and Qinghu went in opposite directions and let the horse gallop happily in the direction where they had gone.
The three of them hurried on the bumpy road for several days. At the same time, they were getting further and further away from Yushan Commandery.
The man whom Qinghu had planted in the dark had already sent the news.
It was said that on the way to King City, there were many suspicious people probing those who came from Yushan Commandery.
However, other than a few people mysteriously disappearing today, there was no other special action.
Lin Mengya finally confirmed her suspicions. As expected, these people were still worried and were still monitoring those who were heading to King City.
Fortunately, they didn't see any suspicious characters on the road they chose.
The people who would escort them back were waiting in the town not far ahead.
After today, they would be able to get rid of the pungent smell of pepper.
At sunset, the three of them finally arrived at the small town where they were temporarily staying.
The town was not big, and the merchants who came and went would only stay for a night.
Carefully choosing the cheapest inn, the three of them squeezed into a shabby and old room.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night. Under the moonlight, they secretly arrived at the meeting place.
Finally, they had changed back into their own clothes. The three of them, who had been tensed up for a long time, finally felt a little relieved.
The spacious carriage made Lin Mengya, who had been curled up in the wooden carriage for many days, finally feel the taste of heaven.
As for the pepper in the carriage, someone would continue to pretend to be them and then send it to the nearby pepper merchants.
Lin Mengya didn't miss any details, although she knew that she might be a little too careful.
However, she had to be careful in front of the Xin family.
Someone drove the carriage and someone protected their safety.
The three of them finally felt relieved and had a good sleep. When Lin Mengya woke up again, only she and Baisu were in the carriage.
She lazily opened the window and saw Qinghu, who had returned to his handsome appearance, sitting on the horse in high spirits.
Lin Mengya leaned against the window frame, letting the chilly morning wind blow away the drowsiness in her mind.
"You're awake? Do you want to come down and wash your face? "
Qinghu had already seen Lin Mengya's little head poking out of the window. Speaking of which, they just changed clothes hastily last night and did not wash up.
Now, the three of them still had the smell of pepper on them.
Lin Mengya felt that they were like three plates of braised peanuts and green beans.
"Alright."
Although pepper was not only a seasoning but also good for the body, Lin Mengya would rather not smell it again in this life.
Qinghu had long seen through her thoughts. He found a pool with clear water and let the two of them in.
With him standing guard outside, it was unlikely that there would be any wastrels who would dare to peep.
Wearing close-fitting clothes, Lin Mengya and Baisu took a clean bath in the cool pond water. Only then did Lin Mengya feel as if she had been completely resurrected.
Baisu, who was beside her, had the same expression as if she had seen a ghost.
Lin Mengya scooped up a handful of water and gently poured it on Baisu's shoulder.
"Compared to the cold beauty you are now, I prefer your appearance a few days ago. To be honest, even if my Baisu pretends to be ugly, she's still quite charming! "
As Lin Mengya joked with Baisu, she unsurprisingly received a sad look from her.
Knowing that this girl was thin-skinned and could not stand being teased, Lin Mengya had no intention to continue teasing her.
Although they were still in Lieyun, her heart had already flown to the capital of Dajin.
"Miss, are you thinking about the prince?"
Baisu had been by Lin Mengya's side all the time these days. Naturally, she knew who Lin Mengya could not let go of and who she was thinking about.
"Yes and no."
Lin Mengya had never been good at hiding her feelings from her friends.
A few days ago, she was so busy escaping that she completely forgot about the things she had been struggling with before.
"In fact, you don't have to be like this. We all know the prince's feelings for you. Even if the Prince really married another woman, it was definitely not something he was willing to do. Maybe the emperor of Dajin forced him to do it? "
Lin Mengya looked at the lovely Baisu and knew that she was comforting her.
If this happened a year ago, she could also deceive herself and think that the emperor forced Long Tianhao to marry her.
However, the current Long Tianhao was completely different from the Prince Yu a year ago.
Even though Long Tianhao had never mentioned it, Lin Mengya had long felt it.
Now it seemed that there was only one possibility.
It was Long Tianhao who had agreed to this marriage.
So what if she knew his feelings? She could sacrifice herself for righteousness, but when it came to love, she would always be a selfish little woman who could not tolerate a third person.
She thought that she had changed, but there was a voice deep in her heart that told her that she had never changed.
"Maybe, everything will come to light when we arrive in the Capital City."
Lin Mengya took a soft and dry towel and dried her hair.
After tidying up herself and Baisu, she returned to the carriage.
The journey was always boring. In order to get back to Dajin as soon as possible, they even camped in the wild many times.
On the way, Lin Mengya read books and summarized and analyzed all kinds of information sent by Qinghu's people.
Of course, the matter of her father and brother was the first priority. But even Qinghu, who had a very complicated information network, only got some vague information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Lin Mengya's worry about her father and brother also increased day by day.
She already knew the purpose of the Candle Dragon Cult to kidnap them, but she still had no idea about the background of the other force in the dark.
But her father and brother were highly skilled in martial arts and resourceful.
With the two of them, they could command thousands of troops calmly.
If there was any danger, it would not be so quiet.
Therefore, Lin Mengya could only suppress the worry in her heart. Apart from secretly intensifying the investigation, she could only wait passively.
"Lass, it's an urgent report from the capital of Dajin. Don't be too anxious after reading it."
During the break, Qinghu sent her the information collected by his people in the Capital City with a gloomy face.
Taking the light yellow envelope, Lin Mengya felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that something happened to those people who stayed in the Capital City?
After reading it quickly, Lin Mengya's face was extremely gloomy.
With a "bang", she slammed the letter on the small square table in the carriage.
"What a sinister and vicious woman! How dare she do such a thing! Don't blame me for not letting her live!"
Baisu, who was beside her, didn't know what news made her miss so angry.
Lin Mengya handed the letter in her hand to Baisu. After reading it carefully, Baisu's face was as gloomy and horrible as Lin Mengya's.
"Yunzhu is really cruel and unscrupulous. She even secretly colluded with the Candle Dragon Cult. Not only did she kidnap Mr. Baili, but she also wanted to catch Baiji and the others. Now that Mr. Baili is in her hands, I'm afraid that your actions in the Capital City will be limited. "
Fortunately, Lin Mengya had prepared beforehand. The small courtyard of the Sanjue Hall medicine shop was just a cover.
