Chapter 971 A Mysterious Message

Baiji kowtowed hard. In the past few days, she had been forcing herself to hold back her tears. She was afraid that it would not do any good to save Moyan if she panicked. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Although Long Tianyu had said so, Baiji still felt as if a knife were piercing her heart. She only hoped that Moyan could come back safe and sound. Even if Baiji was asked to exchange her life for it, she would do it immediately.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Baili Wuchen looked at Baiji thoughtfully, and his eyes somewhat flickered.

“Miss Baiji, after the Young Master Moyan went missing, have you investigated those jugglers and folk artists?”

Baiji nodded.

She said, “After noticing that Young Master Moyan was missing, Baishao and I have investigated the background of those people. There are a lot of people who came to the Capital City to present their skills, but they were all invited by the famous aristocratic families in the Capital City. Generally speaking, they have a clear background and no problem can be seen seemingly. However, these people come and go frequently, and some strangers can’t be remembered at all. We once suspected whether those people had abducted Young Master Moyan or not, but we haven’t received any related information yet.”

Baili Wuchen nodded and motioned Baiji to go out.

When Baiji’s back disappeared through the door of the imperial study, Long Tianyu picked up the writing brush from the desk, quickly wrote a letter, and then personally sealed the envelope with the sealing wax.

“Give this secret letter to Ling Ye. We must find Moyan, no matter what.”

The figure that appeared out of nowhere was the new secret guard who took over Ling Ye’s place. He took Long Tianyu’s secret letter respectfully and went to carry out the mission assigned by his master faithfully.

“Your Majesty, don’t you think it such a coincidence?”

After pondering for a long time, Baili Wuchen finally dared to speak out his guess.

The general principles of the imperial court had just been drawn up, and many officials had their own thoughts. However, only a few of them dared to lay a finger on Moyan. Unless they wished to fall out with the new emperor completely, they would not take the risk of their lives to lay their hands on Lin Mengya’s men.

Therefore, it was not difficult to guess who had kidnapped Moyan at this critical moment without anyone’s notice.

“Could it be…Tiancheng?”

The disappearance of the retired emperor was weird, and now Moyan went missing, too. The keen intuition, which had been honed over the years, enabled Long Tianyu to find out a secret connection between these two matters.

His men had been monitoring the situation inside and outside of the Capital City all the time, but both the retired emperor and Moyan had disappeared without a trace. In addition to having planned it, the opponents were more familiar with the situation than his men.

Apart from the Shangguan Family and Tiancheng, he could not think of anyone else who could do it.

If it was just to take revenge on Mengya, kidnapping Moyan was a good idea, but it was not the best one.

It seemed that there were many things that he was not clear about yet.

“If it’s Princess Tiancheng, maybe I can do some help along the way. In fact, I don’t think they will threaten Young Master Moyan’s safety. If they hurt Young Master Moyan, Her Highness will never spare them. After all, the hostage is most valuable only when he is alive.”

Baili Wuchen raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice, and replied in a gloomy tone.

He knew better than anyone else for such a thing.

Long Tianyu looked at Baili Wuchen and curled up his lips into a cold smile.

Indeed, the person who kidnapped Moyan must have an ulterior motive. But either Long Tianyu or Lin Mengya was strong enough to fight back the opponents hard.

Since the opponents dared to attack this couple, they had to be prepared in advance to pay the price for it!

Inside the Capital City, the situation was turbulent, and all the forces had come on stage.

Outside the Capital City, Lin Mengya and her men marched day and night and finally entered Xiang Prefecture half a month later.

They did not take the shortest route to Lieyun this time.

After passing through Xiang Prefecture, they would arrive in Qi Prefecture. At the border of Qi Prefecture and the Lieyun Empire, there was an endless mountain range.

After climbing over the mountain, some people sent by the Emperor of the Lieyun Empire would come to her aid.

Lin Mengya specially gathered her men in Xiang Prefecture, verifying the headcounts and making arrangements accordingly, lest any unexpected problems would occur when they arrived in Qi Prefecture.

“Hall Master, we will arrive at Chong’an County in a few days. Our men who have arrived are waiting there.”

As Lin Mengya’s personal bodyguard, Xu Shan naturally made the necessary arrangements properly.

And Shi Bupo had restrained himself a lot these days. Every day, he was by the side of Lin Mengya closely, but he did not dare to bother her.

Xu Shan and Shi Bupo, the combination of two bizarre, had become Lin Mengya’s right-hand men.

For many things, it was inconvenient for Lin Mengya and Qinghu to come out to deal with, Xu Shan and Shi Bupo would handle them properly.

“Great. Thank you for your hard work. Let’s have a rest in Chong’an County.”

Behind the navy blue curtain, Lin Mengya nodded gently and then isolated herself from the outside world again.

Inside the carriage, she had piles of letters to review.

The intelligence system of Sanjue Hall was getting more advanced day by day. Now, not only could the information about Dajin be sent to her in detail, but she could also learn everything about the other three countries.

Xiaoyu had finished his closed-door cultivation, which was earlier than Lin Mengya had expected.

As Lin Mengya expected, the Xin Family attempted to kill Xiaoyu in secret, but they were all killed by Xiaoyu.

Lin Mengya was not pleasant at all when she read the secret letter.

It said that Xiaoyu’s temperament had changed dramatically for some reason since he finished the cultivation, and even Xiu almost had an accident because of him.

Therefore, the Xin Family suffered heavy losses because all the elites in the family were killed in the battle.

It was a good thing that Xiaoyu’s combat capability had soared. However, Lin Mengya had potential concerns about Xiaoyu.

However, according to the information she got, even if Xiaoyu had subdued the royal venomous insect, he should not have had such a reaction.

She was sure that with the preparations she had made previously, Xiaoyu would never encounter any life-threatening danger in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.

Then, what on earth made Xiaoyu’s temperament change so greatly?

Lin Mengya clenched the secret letter in her hand, with her heart full of gloom.

The situation seemed to be much more complicated than she had imagined.

“Don’t worry, we’ll return to Lieyun soon.”

Qinghu, who had been by the side of Lin Mengya, knew that Xiaoyu was one of the most important family members to Lin Mengya.

He could not bear to see Lin Mengya frowning, so he tried to comfort her.

“I’ve been feeling uneasy lately. Qinghu, do you think we’ll fail this time?” Lin Mengya asked.

There were two sides to everything. Lin Mengya had never thought that she would always be invincible.

But this time, she had no choice but to win.

Perhaps it was because of this obsession that the uneasiness in her heart was getting deeper.

Qinghu wished to tell a lie to comfort Lin Mengya. However, he was so familiar with her character that he just shook his head with a bitter smile.

“As for what will happen to the relic of the Guwei State in the end, I am clueless as you are. You’d better not put too much pressure on yourself. We still have other people with us, don’t we?”

Lin Mengya looked at Qinghu and shook her head gently, with a deep worry between her eyebrows.

“You are clear that we can’t trust anyone but ourselves. I can’t bet on my men’s lives because I can’t afford to lose at all.”

Lin Mengya had never been so depressed that she wished to escape from this.

But her mother, who had escaped for her entire life, ended up with her death in her doomed destiny.

Thus, Lin Mengya had no choice but to face it.

?It was a fine day. The early spring weather was chilly. She felt as if she were a Rosa Multiflora buried in winter snow. It looked withered, but who would have thought of the exuberant vitality beneath?

“Don’t think that much. What’s happening now is the most important thing. Look at you, you haven’t slept well for a few days, have you? If it went on like this, you would die of hunger before you could get there.”

Qinghu tried his best to speak in a relaxed tone so that Lin Mengya, who had been entangled in all kinds of affairs, could have a moment to relax.

Lin Mengya just smiled apologetically, picked up the soup that Qinghu had prepared for her, and ate it.

She did not know how long she could hold on.

Lin Mengya just worked all out to handle all the information. With the powerful processing speed of the Shen Nung system, the progress she made had reached the top level.

But it resulted in her mental exhaustion.

Lin Mengya felt that she was like a spinning ball, which was running at a high speed all the time,

Fortunately, the result of her desperate work was amazing. At least she had not missed any clues as of now.

“Uh? Who sent this message to me?”

The letters in front of her were reduced at an astonishing speed. Lin Mengya picked up a letter on the table and read it carefully again and again.

“Well, I don’t have an impression of it either. It’s strange. This is not the writing paper specially used to send messages in our Sanjue Hall. However, since it has been delivered to you successfully, it must have been sent by our men.”

Qinghu looked at it over and over again, feeling a little strange, too.

In Sanjue Hall, all the information would be summarized in the branch halls before sending to the higher-ups.

Of course, the speed at which the information was summed up was extremely fast, and it would not slow down the delivery speed of the information at all.

Thus, all the sources of the information were well-founded in Sanjue Hall. It was to prevent some people from cheating or colluding with outsiders.

However, this letter was placed in a crumpled envelope. When she opened it and checked it out, she just felt that the handwriting was messy at first glance.

But when Lin Mengya saw the content, she frowned tightly.

“Moyan is in danger!”

Lin Mengya felt a little listless because of the heavy workload these days.

She suddenly stood up in excitement, but she immediately felt dizzy.

Qinghu immediately supported Lin Mengya, who was on the verge of collapse, and took the letter from her hand by the way.

Qinghu, who had always been composed, quickly read the letter, and then his expression changed.

“How… is that possible?”

Qinghu stared at the letter firmly as if he had seen a ghost and wished to burn it.

“I’ve expected that Moyan’s background may not be simple, but I didn’t expect that things would turn out like this. Qinghu, send someone back to the Capital City right away, and stay close to Moyan to protect him. Don’t let those people find him, ever!”

Lin Mengya clenched her teeth. That brat was her nephew, and no one was allowed to lay a finger on him!
