Chapter 992 The method of luring the enemy
“It’s okay, I’m okay.”
Lin Mengya, who was already nearly five months pregnant, was still flexible, and her belly didn’t bulge out large like an ordinary pregnant woman’s.
It can easily be covered up with a little bit of slightly looser clothing.
Besides, not many people knew she was pregnant, and all of this argued that it was better for her to keep a low profile on the matter.
Stepping down from the carriage, Lin Menya looked around.
This is the place where, earlier, the king negotiated with Wanyan Lie to send Ah Xiu.
The size of the city wasn’t small, and it looked bustling with people coming and going.
If you want to hide a person here, it is indeed not easy to find them.
And the dwelling in front of her was very una.s.suming, and from the outside, it didn’t look like anything special.
“This is the location that was chosen before, only the people who received them here never saw any sign of Ah Xiu and Uncle Lie. But the person who received them at the city gate said that he did see them come in. This person, it’s not possible that they just disappeared out of thin air, right?”
This was also a point that Jade couldn’t figure out no matter how she thought about it, and Lin Menya nodded, her sight carefully observing her surroundings.
This area should be the residential area of the city, from the surrounding architectural style and the degree of newness and oldness, those who can come to live here are usually some small officials, or the common people who have rich family conditions.
Usually places like this are not particularly chaotic and the security environment is considered good.
This alley is also considered to be s.p.a.cious and bright, before and after the next bustling street, quite a bit of a big hidden feeling.
Lifting her foot and stepping through the door in front of her, the two-entry courtyard was quite s.p.a.cious and bright.
And the decorations here are different from the plain outside, there is everything that should be there, and considering Asuka’s status, the best things on the market are used.
In the courtyard, five servants were trembling and kneeling there, obviously afraid that this group of n.o.bles would blame them for their sins.
Lin Mengya felt that there was nothing unusual about these five people after sizing them up one by one.
“Guest, is it true that you haven’t been here before?”
Seeing the beautiful woman in the center open her mouth, the middle-aged man who was in charge among several people, immediately reported back.
“Back to your honor, those two honorable guests indeed did not come to the door. I went out early in the morning and waited, but I didn’t even see the n.o.ble guests.”
Xiu Mei gazed up slightly, her eyes looking around.
It wouldn’t take more than an hour to get from the city gates to this mansion, even by walking.
When Wanyan Lie and Ah Xiu entered the city, everything was still normal, what had happened in this short hour?
With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the terrified five to stand down.
Xiao Yu immediately a.s.sisted Lin Mengya to sit on a chair in the main hall, Bai Su served a cup of fruit milk boiled with fruits, and everyone’s gazes, focused on her.
“How long does it take to get here from King City?”
The thoughtful Lin Menya casually asked the question, and Xiao Yu, who had been waiting at the side, immediately answered.
“If it’s on horseback, it’s about a day and a half, and if it’s in a carriage, then it’s at least two days. And this isn’t the way to get in and out of the royal city, so-”
Lin Mengya heard Xiao Yu’s words very well, and she also knew that if Wanyan Lie was going to take Ah Xiu away beforehand, she was only afraid that there was no need for him to come here.
Just make a turn in the road and you can take Asuka away.
But he still brought Asuka here as originally planned.
That could only mean one thing, just before entering the city, maybe Wanyan Lie hadn’t changed his mind.
But what made him suddenly change his mind in just one hour?
“Have your men ever followed this road? Between you and Wanyan Lie, you should have agreed on a location and a secret line, right? Did Wanyan Lie not use these people?”
Xiao Yu shook her head, a helpless look on her clear face.
If Wanyan Lie had contacted him, he wouldn’t have to be in such a hurry.
Lin Mengya put down the teacup in her hand, but her brain was running rapidly.
It is said that geese leave traces, with the status of Wanyan Lie’s ident.i.ty position, the traces he left even after careful concealment, only to be left behind more.
Besides, judging from her previous behavior, Lin Mengya didn’t feel like Wanyan Lie had planned this earlier.
Since this was the case, if one wanted to avoid everyone’s sight, there was a high possibility that Wanyan Lie and Ah Xiu, were probably still hiding within this city.
If that was the case, things were much better for her in turn.
“Send someone to look for it secretly, maybe Ah Xiu and Wanyan Lie haven’t left yet.”
Xiao Yu sniffed but hesitated for a moment before saying with a bitter smile.
“Father and I have thought about it, but we’ve secretly searched the city and still haven’t seen any sign of them.”
Lin Mengya, however, smiled and gently looked at Xiao Yu.
“You guys are familiar with Wanyan Lie, and why wouldn’t Wanyan Lie be familiar with you. Think about it, right now, he has no money or people at hand. Once he contacts his previous subordinates, he will be detected by you. And I think he’s doing this on the spur of the moment. If that’s the case, even his subordinates won’t be able to react in time. And after that, the first thing you guys thought of when you noticed the person was missing was to monitor his inner circle. So if I were Wanyan Lie, I would also choose to stay right here. But at the same time, he also knew that you guys would search like this. Since that’s the case, wouldn’t it be too easy to hide from you guys?”
Lin Mengya knew the truth of the darkness under the lamp, and Wanyan Lie was a great connoisseur of playing with power.
Trying to evade the king’s search was easy for Wanyan Lie.
“The reasoning is indeed this reasoning, but like what my sister said, I’m all too familiar with Father’s way Uncle Lie. Then… Then what do we have to do so that we don’t alarm Uncle Lie?”
Lin Menya, however, smiled, and it was a somewhat bada.s.s smile, like the devil’s smile that she had every time, before she tried to get into trouble.
“That’s easy, you attach your ear.”
Xiao Yu would doubtfully stick his head over, and after Lin Mengya whispered a few words in his ear, the latter’s face immediately revealed a different kind of glow.
“Sister, is it possible?”
Although Xiao Yu had tried her best to do quite a few things, fundamentally, she was still a pure and innocent little teenager, not as bold as a married woman like Lin Menya.
The latter leaned back in her chair with old-fashioned ease after pa.s.sing a look that wrapped itself around her.
“Don’t worry, if your sister and I go out, there’s nothing that can’t be accomplished. Just do as I say, and I guarantee that Wanyan Lie won’t notice.”
Xiao Yu was ultimately more trusting of Lin Mengya, and after biting her teeth, she hurriedly left with her people.
Lin Mengya slumped into her chair in a good mood, these days, she would just wait for a good show.
As the number one city in the vicinity of the King’s City, An City had been a bit on edge lately.
Especially some of the families who have yellow flowers and daughters are in the wind and everyone is in danger.
The reason is, there’s a flower picker in Anjo.
Speaking of this flower picker, it was a major scourge in An City.
Supposedly roaming from somewhere else, with multiple county warrants on him.
This person is highly skilled in martial arts, but his methods are extremely bad.
Although that flower picker didn’t scourge any of the big girls, he had a special fetish for stealing people’s girls’ intimate apparel.
After stealing it, they would also comment on the embroidery and the fabric.
The most infuriating thing was that he would write all these preferences of his own on that piece of clothing and hang it from the beams of the person’s main room.
As for the criteria for judging, it varies from one to five stars.
So far, the highest was the fourth young lady of the city lord’s family, no matter whether it was the material or the workmanship above, it scored four and a half high segments.
It is said that the first reaction of that fourth young lady to see her own bibs, naturally, is so angry that she cried, and the reason, actually, is that the lecher did not give her a perfect score of five stars.
But in spite of this, the city of An was in a frenzy.
But anyone with a little money left over at home would hire a few people with martial arts skills to guard the yard.
For those who could not afford it, of course, their fathers and brothers took the responsibility. As for those who had no money and no father or brother, the government had no choice but to open a large house to gather the girls together and have them guarded by the government.
Even so, that flower picker was a frequent winner, and the city of An had already been in chaos.
“Tch, girl, I say how long do you want me to do such a boring thing?”
Inside an inconspicuous residence in An City, Qing Fox looked at the woman’s belly band in front of her, her eyes filled with helplessness.
That’s right, they’re the ones responsible for letting Anjo go into chaos.
But every time you go in and out of a woman’s boudoir, it’s Baisu in disguise, and things like hanging in people’s halls, it’s all clear foxes that do it.
And the person in charge of grading was, of course, Lin Mengya herself.
“Soon, in the next few days.”
She didn’t want to keep making a scene, in fact, the girls in the homes of those who had been burglarized knew that the so-called flower picker was a woman.
But women’s minds are strange like that, and the first one to have this happen was the one whose home they had arranged.
But since hearing that there would be scoring, from the second house onwards, the girl had surprisingly taken a somewhat acquiescent att.i.tude.
Don’t look at their fathers and brothers screaming, in fact, there are several unconventional girls, even secretly hanging their best belly bibs on the window, just waiting for the flower pickers to come to steal them, and in the meantime to see their own ratings.
Of course, this is only known to them and the girls, we all know each other by heart, playing a tacit understanding.
However, Lin Mengya was once again staggered by the exuberance of the girls of Lieyun, if this were to be placed in the Great Jinn, I’m afraid that a few lives would fly out.
In the words of one of the girls, whoever has the higher rating means better craftsmanship.
That way, when you get married in the future, you’ll have a proof.
Seeing that this kind of thing was hardened by the girl and turned into a capital to show off when she got married later, this result, even Lin Mengya was not expected.
“Do you think that Wanyan Lie will really show up? That old man is not simple, if we do this, in case we can’t force him out, we’ll also scare the snakes.”
For this kind of thing, although Clear Fox had no feelings, he still couldn’t help but feel that it was a waste of time.
