Lin Mengya smiled gently, and her eyes were full of love for the baby in her belly.
"Yes, I didn't expect that there would be no reaction at all."
In fact, she was still a little worried about the baby.
Her teacher had told her that her current body was not suitable for pregnancy.
But since the baby was here, she would try her best to give birth to the baby safely, in addition to being surprised.
The Shen Nung system was constantly monitoring the baby's condition. Although the baby was only three months old, it was developing well. There was no mistake because of her special body.
At least the baby was still growing quietly in her womb.
Therefore, she warned herself that she must be extremely careful. She would no longer be charging and breaking through enemy lines alone.
At least for the sake of the baby in her belly, she must protect herself first.
Lin Mengya lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the mountains not far away.
Their guide was a member of the branch in Qizhou. He was about 30 years old and used to be a hunter in the mountains, so he was most familiar with the situation in the mountains.
With his help, they should be able to cross the mountains safely in half a month and reach the secret contact point in the Lieyun Kingdom, which they had agreed on a long time ago.
Lin Mengya was naturally very careful about the guide. Not only did she ask the Hall Chief of the branch in Qizhou to choose the guide, but she also secretly asked Shi Bupo to investigate the identity of the guide.
Only after he had almost dug out the ancestral grave of the other party to take a look did he finally feel half relieved.
Although Qinghu laughed that she was like a frightened bird after becoming a mother, Lin Mengya knew better than anyone that it was never a mistake to be careful.
"Hall Chief, we will enter the mountains tomorrow. Before we enter the mountains, I have a few words to say, and I hope you can listen to them. "
The guide had a very broad, swarthy face, and looked like a very honest man.
However, he still had a lot of respect for the Chief Hall Chief, who only heard his voice but never heard his face.
"Please go ahead."
Finally, a woman's voice came out of the carriage, and the guide became nervous.
In the past, they were the first to hear the news of how this Hall Master dealt with the traitors with blood and iron.
Especially after hearing from the brothers in the hall that the two highly skilled and crafty Vice Hall Masters were actually like pigs and dogs that were tied up in front of the Hall Master and could only wait to be slaughtered, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried about this mysterious Hall Master.
He was afraid that he had done something wrong and would be punished by the hall master.
After calming himself down, the guide said.
"This small mountain is called Mount Five Heroes. There are no heroes in the mountain, only five groups of bandits. These five groups of people are fighting for justice on behalf of the heavens, while the other four mountains are abiding by the rules. Normally, they won't harass ordinary people like us. However, the remaining group of people, relying on the fact that they were entrenched on the trade routes, would often rob passing merchants. That's why those merchants often form groups. "
Qinghu, who was standing at the side, snorted coldly. He looked at the long sword in his hand and said sinisterly.
"It doesn't matter. As long as they come up, I'll take the opportunity to kill to my heart's content."
The guide suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He shrank his neck and continued speaking.
"However, it's also because of this that those caravans that form groups are more likely to be targeted. On the contrary, some small caravans are let go because they are small in number and don't have too much money on them. The king of the mountain is extremely cunning and difficult to deal with. I only know about this because one of his subordinates is my distant cousin. In my opinion, it may be safer to split up and disperse. "
Qinghu looked at the guide and waved his hand to let him leave. He immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage.
As expected, Lin Mengya, who was inside, frowned slightly.
It seemed that a group of 100 people would be a little conspicuous.
If they were targeted, although she was not afraid, it would also be troublesome.
"What do you think?"
She looked up and asked for Qinghu's opinion.
"I think what he said makes sense, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If we encounter them, it's naturally safer to have more people. Those bandits are just a motley crew. I'm afraid that with 500 people, we can also run amok in the mountain. But our disadvantage is that we are not as familiar with the terrain as they are. Once there is any conflict, we may be at a disadvantage. "
She nodded. What Qinghu said was exactly what she was thinking.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and thought for a while. She still decided to listen to the guide.
The 100 people on the surface were randomly divided into seven or eight small caravans, and the number of people in each small caravan was different.
Lin Mengya's caravan was in the front. She would set off about two hours in advance, and then the hidden brothers in the caravan would leave a pre-agreed secret code at the place that needed guidance to guide the people behind.
Every caravan or hidden caravan passing by must leave their own traces for the people behind to check.
In this way, everyone would know the situation of the caravan in front at any time.
In the last caravan, Lin Mengya arranged for Xu Shan and Shi Bupo to hold the line.
With the two of them, even if they really encountered mountain bandits, at least they could at least ask for help in time.
Moreover, the remaining 400 people would also be scattered in the mountain to protect these disguised caravans.
The team of Sanjue Hall rested for a day and a night. Finally, in the early morning of the next day, they set foot on the boundary of Mount Wuxiong.
At this time, it was already March, a beautiful time in the mountain where everything was recovering.
Along the way, they saw the mountain flowers in full bloom, and they felt much better.
For three days in a row, they encountered nothing unusual except for the occasional caravan or the local people who came to the mountain to collect firewood.
But Qinghu still ordered everyone to be more vigilant and not let down their guard, so that others could take advantage of them.
After a long journey, Lin Mengya's body was still a little tired, even though she had spent most of her time in the carriage.
After a long journey, Qinghu immediately ordered everyone to stop and take a break.
There were about 20 people in their group. In addition to Lin Mengya, there were two women disguised as her maids.
Baisu had already hidden in the dark and was in charge of passing information between the teams.
Although Lin Mengya's body was a little inconvenient, Baisu was relieved with Qinghu around.
"Be careful."
Qinghu carefully supported Lin Mengya. He was so attentive that it was as if he was serving the Queen Mother.
"I'm fine. Don't let anyone see anything."
Lin Mengya only dared to roll her eyes in her heart at Qinghu's overprotectiveness.
Anyway, he probably wouldn't listen to her, and she also knew that Qinghu was doing it for her own good. But sometimes, when she saw him like a hen, she couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
She was pregnant, not paralyzed. Obviously, it was useless to protest.
When they got off the carriage, someone had already started a fire and was preparing to cook lunch.
Lin Mengya sat beside him, but her eyes inadvertently fell on a place in the mountain.
"These guys have been following us for two days, right?"
Her voice was so low that only Qinghu and Lin Mengya could hear her. A sneer quickly crossed Qinghu's thin lips.
"Yes, they are really persistent. Do you want me to get rid of them now?"
Not long after they entered the mountain, Qinghu keenly sensed that there were hidden sentries around, who didn't belong to their team.
However, he only told Lin Mengya and didn't alert anyone.
"Let's bear with it for now. We still don't know their purpose. If they are just here to inquire about information, I'm afraid that we will beat the grass and alert them if we act rashly."
It was better to avoid trouble now. Moreover, they were the local tyrants, and they were just passers-by. It would be best if they lived in peace. If they really had a dispute, they might get hurt.
Under Qinghu's counter-surveillance, any movement of those hidden sentries could not escape Lin Mengya's eyes.
After another five days, their group finally arrived at the deepest part of the mountains.
As long as they climbed over the hill in front, they could reach the other half of the mountain.
The guide, who had been doing his duty in silence for days, felt a little uneasy since morning.
He looked at the horse carriage behind him. After getting along with them for the past few days, he had clearly seen it.
Although the Hall Master didn't often joke with them, she spent most of her time resting in the horse carriage. But she was a person who was clear about rewards and punishments and didn't put on airs.
After thinking about it, those people who were punished did indeed violate the rules of the Hall, and the Hall Master also punished them according to the rules.
When they first joined the Hall, the Hall Master required them to be able to recite all the rules of the Hall before they could officially become the Hall Master.
In other words, those people were courting death by themselves, and it had nothing to do with the Hall Master.
Finally, the guide got up and walked to the horse carriage where Lin Mengya was.
"Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master, the territory of Rakshasa Stockade is in front of us. If you trust me, can you give me a few taels of silver and let me go and inquire about it first? "
He lowered his head. Even though Qinghu couldn't see the man's expression clearly, he could see his slightly stiff hands twisted together.
Thinking about it, the mountain bandits were so famous, and they must be fierce people.
But the man in front of him actually took the initiative to explore the way, which was commendable.
He took out ten taels of silver from the horse carriage and put it in the man's hand without saying anything. The man was slightly surprised, raised his head, and stared at the Deputy Hall Master in front of him in astonishment.
"Thank you for your hard work. Be careful."
Eight short words came from the horse carriage, and their Hall Master leaned out and looked at him with a gentle face.
Suddenly, the mountain man, who had never done anything big, seemed to understand some kind of mission. The feeling of being trusted made him feel heavy in his heart.
He was not good at expressing himself, and just held the silver in his hand tightly and nodded heavily.
