Xia Bin's eyes flickered, and there was a crack on his feminine face.
He had seen her swallow the porridge with his own eyes. How could it be …
Lin Mengya curled her lips and smiled coldly.
She loosened her grip, and the porridge bowl fell to the ground.
Lin Mengya clapped her hands, and there was some pity in her eyes. It seemed that the information of the mastermind behind him was not so accurate.
Although that person knew about the grudge between Qinghu and Manager Xia, he was not so well-informed about her.
It seemed that the person who leaked the information was not someone close to her.
In a split second, pieces of information flashed through Lin Mengya's mind. However, in front of her was the ashen faced Head Xia. She should be the one dealing with him properly.
You're amazing! "
Xia Bin knew that the frost was highly toxic, and there was no antidote for it. However, he did not know that no matter how toxic it was, it could not be more toxic than Lin Mengya's blood.
He thought that Lin Mengya had played some tricks to know that he had taken the frost in advance.
Since his plan had failed, he could only leave in defeat.
However, Lin Mengya sat calmly on the chair, as if she had seen through his thoughts.
"The sugar daddy behind you wants me dead, doesn't he? You keep me alive because you want to get a higher price. Of course, you can plot to kill me. But if they lose even a hair, I promise you won't get a penny. "
Xia Bin was so angry that he laughed. He turned around, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Humph, you're in my hands now. Master Lin, I advise you to be sensible!"
Xia Bin waved his hand, and dozens of large bows and crossbows immediately ran in from outside, and pointed their sharp arrowheads at the group of people.
It seemed that Xia Bin was more impatient than she had imagined.
"Xia Bin! You're courting death! "
Qinghu had long disliked him, and Xia Bin also wanted to kill his old rival.
"Now, you're the ones who are courting death!"
The atmosphere was tense, and even Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
However, after glancing at the dozens of people, she felt that something was wrong.
"Wait! Headmaster Xia is only seeking wealth. If I can help Headmaster Xia earn a little more, you will let my subordinates go. How about it? "
Lin Mengya's expression was as usual, and there was no sign of anxiety.
Xia Bin looked at the woman in front of him with an uncertain expression. He pursed his lips but did not say a word.
"Besides, you have plenty of ways to deal with us. These arrows don't have eyes. If they injure your men, I'm afraid it won't be worth it. "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and spoke slowly.
Xia Bin was also a smart person. He immediately understood the hidden meaning in her words. His brows furrowed imperceptibly as he glanced at the dozens of people with bows and arrows.
Although he knew that the lass might be trying to sow discord, they were not his people after all.
"Alright, you guys can leave first."
Xia Bin said to one of them, but the dozens of people did not seem to hear him. They just drew their bows and faced Lin Mengya and the others.
"Zhao Guangda, I told you to get out!"
Xia Bin emphasized his tone and gave a look to his trusted subordinate.
That person immediately took out a small and sharp dagger and secretly pressed it against the waist of the man named Zhao Guangda.
"Yes."
Zhao Guangda had a tough and shrewd look. Now that he was treated like this, he did not show any obvious displeasure on his face.
After looking at Xia Bin, he led his men out of the front hall.
Xia Bin's heart was already surging with anger when he was humiliated in public.
Lin Mengya and Qinghu only nodded at him cautiously and did not dare to provoke him with words.
Seeing that Xia Bin had left the front hall with his men, Lin Mengya and Qinghu gradually relaxed their tensed bodies.
And the people around them knew that they had taken a trip to the gates of hell. But they could not show the slightest bit of timidity in someone else's territory.
All of them looked as if they had been fished out of the water. Their backs were dripping wet and they were covered in cold sweat.
"There's poison in this porridge, but there's nothing wrong with the rest. Eat some so that you won't be exhausted. "
After giving the order, Lin Mengya saw that the other 20 people only ate and drank a little cautiously. Then she collapsed on the chair and communicated with Qinghu silently with her eyes.
It seemed that she had guessed right. Those people stayed not only to kill her but also to destroy the evidence.
It should have been a quiet night, but there were bursts of quarreling in the distance.
Only a few people were left to take turns to be on guard, while the others gathered together and slept for the time being.
Lin Mengya was lying in the innermost room. She knew that it would be a hard night, but if even she showed a panicked look, the others would not be able to do so.
Her eyes were closed, but her mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts.
Her little hand was gently held by someone. Lin Mengya knew that it was Qinghu.
Feeling him writing the word "heaven" and "dragon" in her soft palm, Lin Mengya gently held his hand.
Candle Dragon Cult was indeed the best way to know the past of Qinghu and Xia Bin.
Moreover, throwing it away after using it was in line with Princess Tiancheng's usual style of doing things.
It seemed that the failure had made Tiancheng lose his mind and he wanted to kill her to vent his anger.
In that case, things would be much easier.
Lin Mengya did not know when the other mountains would send people here, but if they were smart enough, they should come as soon as possible.
Xia Bin was temperamental. The reason why he let them go for the time being today was that the archers' disobedience made him crazy.
He would be on guard against those people, and at the same time, he would strengthen the supervision of his group.
She was afraid that he would not be any better.
She did not know how many conspiracies were hidden in this dark night.
It was a little beyond Lin Mengya's expectation. Although Xia Bin had a disagreement with that group of people, the other party dealt with it surprisingly quickly.
It was only one night, and today they were united against the enemy.
However, Xia Bin looked at them with some evil intentions in his eyes, but he was not as exasperated as yesterday.
Either he had come up with a good idea to deal with them, or the reward that the other party had promised him was enough to satisfy him.
"Hall Master Lin, did you sleep well last night?"
Lin Mengya did not bother to be hypocritical with him. Anyway, there was no possibility for them to coexist peacefully.
However, Xia Bin was obviously in a good mood today, and he was not angry at her neglect. But his eyes were fixed on Qinghu, as if he wanted to cut him into thousands of pieces.
"I wanted to keep you here and be my guests for a few more days. Unfortunately, my Luocha Village is small and can't accommodate big shots like you. Since you have had a good rest, please go down the mountain today. "
Was he going to let them go?
Lin Mengya and Qinghu had an intuition that Xia Bin was up to no good.
"Thank you very much, Head Xia. We won't disturb you. Goodbye."
Of course, Lin Mengya did not believe that Xia Bin would let them go so easily, but what surprised her more was that Xia Bin really left the front hall with his people.
"I'll go outside and have a look. Don't come out first."
Qinghu said with a serious face, and then disappeared outside the door.
After a while, he returned to his side with a strange look on his face.
"There is really no ambush outside. Let's go first."
Lin Mengya nodded. She had no less questions than Qinghu.
The group of people surrounded her tightly and quickly left Luocha Village. What was more strange was that even their carriages and luggage were placed at the entrance of Luocha Village.
Xia Bin, on the other hand, looked leisurely and leisurely. He even smiled at Lin Mengya, but that smile was cold and terrifying.
"Are there any of our people waiting outside?"
Lin Mengya lowered her head and asked while everyone was tidying up.
Qinghu immediately answered in a low voice, "There are about a hundred people outside."
Lin Mengya looked at Xia Bin again, only to feel her heart beating fast, and uneasiness and madness grew in her heart.
The group of businessmen immediately set off from Luocha Village after tidying up, and the smile on Xia Bin's face gradually disappeared.
"What happens next is up to you. If you run away, don't blame me for being angry."
Zhao Guangda, who was standing behind him, glanced coldly at the mountain bandits in front of him, and then waved his hand and disappeared from Luocha Village with his people.
"Qinghu, it's time for you to have a taste of the pain I've suffered in my life!"
Xia Bin looked at the forest in the distance, and there was no warmth in his cold smile.
The carriages of the group of businessmen ran in the forest, but they did not notice that in the forest behind them, dozens of people holding bows and crossbows had quietly appeared.
Some of them were lying in ambush here, and now their arrows were aimed at the speeding carriage.
"Whoosh —"
The unique red arrow hit the carriage, as if it had released some kind of signal. In an instant, dozens of arrows and crossbows were shot at the carriage at the same time.
The horse that was shot let out a sad cry and fell to the ground, but it still maintained its running posture.
The carriage was overturned, and the scene was tragic.
Zhao Guangda immediately led his people to check the carriage, but there was no one in the carriage except for the luggage.
"We've been tricked! Go back to the way we came! "
Although the assassination had failed, Zhao Guangda was still not flustered and exasperated.
Whether it was the way to go or the way back, he had already arranged for his people. What's more, Xia Bin's people would come out to help them search. It would be extremely difficult to escape!
In the forest not far from Luocha Village, Lin Mengya and more than twenty people were quietly lying on the ground, carefully listening to the movements outside.
Finally, a flurry of soldiers and horses arrived. Sure enough, those fellows wanted to kill them on the way.
It seemed that Xia Bin was not a fool. He knew that if they died in Luocha Village, what followed would be a bloody purge by his backer.
