Qinghu looked at Lin Mengya's abnormal behavior and quickly understood what was going on.

He sighed faintly. Sometimes, he really didn't want Lin Mengya to be so perceptive.

"In fact, the farmers planting peppers in Yushan County are not the most miserable. As long as there is greed in the world, someone will inevitably suffer this kind of thing. Girl, I know you are kind, but this is not something you can change. Even if Xiaoyu becomes the Emperor of Lieyun Empire in the future, some things would still exist."

It took a long time for Qinghu's words of comfort to make Lin Mengya let out a soft breath.

"Maybe you're right, but I hope that one day, this kind of thing will be fewer. When we arrive at the place, let's give this carriage of peppers to farmers. At least, it won't be wasted."

After escaping from Yushan County, Lin Mengya had no joy in surviving a disaster.

She recalled how extravagant the Xin Family's banquet was.

But at the thought that their wealth was all obtained by robbing people like this, Lin Mengya felt very depressed in her heart.

Qinghu was right. This kind of thing was not rare over the years.

But now, she couldn't even protect herself.

If she wanted to change it, she had to wait for Xiaoyu to come out of the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.

By then, no one in Lieyun could threaten Xiaoyu's status.

Xiaoyu would definitely bring Lieyun a new look.

"Miss, are we going to put on our own clothes here?"

Seeing that her Miss no longer dwelled on this thing, Baisu could finally rest assured.

To be honest, she was really afraid that her Miss would defend the weak and helpless.

Although it was not a weakness, it would reveal their whereabouts and make them lose more than gain.

"Don't do it now. I think even if we've escaped from Yushan County, the Xin Family may set up secret guards outside. You let the people who are waiting for us go first. When I feel safe, we will meet with them."

This time, the Xin Family had put in a lot of effort. It was unlikely that they would let a fish slip through the net so easily.

The reason why they could escape might be that they were lucky, so they had to be very careful everywhere.

Fortunately, the road to Dajin was not the same as the way to the Royal City.

Otherwise, with the Xin Family's cautiousness, they would definitely investigate this road strictly.

Anyone who came out of Yushan County might be watched.

And the road to the Royal City must be the most important one.

There were quite a few small merchants selling peppers in Yushan County. These merchants would be scattered throughout the country.

Lin Mengya and Qinghu checked the directions, and let the horse run in the direction they chose.

The three of them raced along the road for a few days. At the same time, they were getting further and further away from Yushan County.

The people whom Qinghu had arranged secretly had already sent out the news.

It was said that on the way to the Royal City, there were many suspicious people who were trying to figure out the identity of those people who came from Yushan County.

However, except for some people who mysteriously disappeared for a few days, there was no special action.

Lin Mengya finally confirmed her guess. As expected, these people were not at ease and were still keeping an eye on those who were going to the Royal City.

Fortunately, they did not see any suspicious people on the road they chose.

The people who would send them back were waiting in the town not far away.

Tomorrow, they would be able to get rid of the pungent pepper smell.

At sunset, the three of them finally arrived at the small town where they temporarily stopped.

The town was not big, and it was only temporary accommodation for merchants who came and went.

They carefully chose the cheapest inn and all squeezed into an old and shabby room.

Fortunately, the night was safe and sound, and they took advantage of the moonlight to secretly arrive at the contact place.

Finally, they changed back into their own clothes. Lin Mengya and the other two finally felt a little relaxed after being tense for a long time.

The spacious horse carriage made Lin Mengya, who had been curled up on the wooden cart for many days, feel that she came to heaven.

As for the cart of peppers, some people would continue to pretend to be the three of them, and then give them to nearby pepper merchants.

There was no detail left, although Lin Mengya knew that she might have been a little too careful.

But facing the Xin Family, she had to be cautious.

Some people were driving the horse carriage while others were guarding them.

The three of them finally had a good sleep. When Lin Mengya woke up again, there were only Baisu and her in the carriage.

She opened the window casually and saw Qinghu, who had returned to being a handsome man, sitting on the horse in high spirits.

Lin Mengya leaned against the window frame and allowed the cold wind in the morning to blow away the sleepiness in her mind.

"Awake? Want to come down and wash your face?"

Qinghu had already seen Lin Mengya's head out of the window. Speaking of which, they had just changed their clothes hastily last night and had not washed them.

At this moment, the three of them were still wearing the scent of peppers on them.

Lin Mengya felt that they seemed to be three plates of stewed peanuts and soybeans.

"That's good."

Although peppers were not only a seasoning, but also beneficial to the body, Lin Mengya would rather she never smell it in her life.

Qinghu had already seen through her thoughts. After finding a clear pool of water, he let them down.

Since he stayed outside, no one would dare to peep at them.

Lin Mengya and Baisu, wearing close-fitting clothes, took a clean bath in the cool pond water. Only then did Lin Mengya feel that she seemed to have come back to life.

Beside her, Baisu joined her with a damned look on her face of never wanting to do that again.

Lin Mengya scooped up a handful of water and gently poured it on Baisu's shoulders.

"Compared with this seemingly cold beauty now, I admire your appearance a few days ago more. Even if my Baisu pretended to be ugly, she still had some charm!"

Lin Mengya played a joke on Baisu and was not surprised to see a plaintive look in Baisu's eyes.

Knowing that this girl was so shy that she didn't want to be joked about, Lin Mengya didn't continue to play jokes on her.

Although they were still in Lieyun at this moment, her heart had already flown into the royal capital of Dajin.

"Miss, I'm afraid you're thinking about the prince, aren't you?"

During these days, Baisu had been with Lin Mengya all the time. She naturally knew whom she was worried about and whom she had been missing.

"Yes, but not exactly."

Lin Mengya was never good at hiding her thoughts in front of her friends.

In the past few days, she had been busy escaping. And she had completely forgotten what she was wondering before.

"In fact, you don't have to be like this. We all know that the prince loves you. Even if he really marries another woman, he wouldn't be willing to marry her. Maybe it's the emperor of Dajin that forces him to do so."

Lin Mengya looked at the lovely Baisu and knew that she was comforting her.

If this had happened a year ago, she could have lied to herself and thought that it was the emperor who forced Long Tianyu to marry the other one.

But now, Long Tianyu was totally different from what he was a year ago.

Even if Long Tianyu had never mentioned that, Lin Mengya had already felt it.

Now it seemed that there was only one thing she could confirm.

It was Long Tianyu himself who agreed to the marriage.

So, what if she knew what he thought? She could sacrifice herself for the sake of justice, but for love, she would always be the selfish little woman who could not tolerate the third person.

She thought that she had changed, but in the depth of her heart, there was a voice telling her that she had never changed.

"Perhaps. When we arrive in the Capital City, everything will come to light."

Lin Mengya took a soft and dry cloth towel on the side and dried her hair.

After tidying herself and Baisu up, they returned to the carriage.

The journey was always boring and bland. In order to get back to Dajin as soon as possible, they had been camping in the wild many times.

On the way, in addition to reading books, Lin Mengya also collected and analyzed all kinds of information sent by Qinghu's people.

The things about her father and her elder brother were naturally priorities, but even Qinghu, who had a very complicated network of information, only got some vague information that was hard to tell whether it was true or false.

Lin Mengya's worries about her father and elder brother grew day by day.

She had already known the purpose of the Candle Dragon Cult to kidnap them, but she did not know what the other force in the dark was.

But her father and elder brother were highly skilled in martial arts and resourceful.

They could even command the millions of troops calmly.

If they had encountered any danger, they would not have been so silent.

Therefore, Lin Mengya could only suppress the worries in her heart. In addition to speeding up the investigation secretly, she could only wait passively.

"Little girl, there's an urgent report from the royal capital of Dajin. Take a look and don't worry too much."

During the break, Qinghu sent the information that his men collected in the Capital City with a gloomy look on his face.

Taking the pale-yellow envelope, Lin Mengya felt a sense of unease in her heart.

Could it be that something had happened to the people who stayed in the Capital City?

After she finished reading quickly, Lin Mengya's expression darkened.

With a splat, she snapped 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 leaving her alive!"

Baisu, who was standing by the side, didn't know what kind of news made her Miss so angry.

Lin Mengya handed the letter to Baisu. After she read it carefully, her face was as gloomy and horrible as Lin Mengya's face.

"Yunzhu is really heartless. She dared to collude with the people of the Candle Dragon Cult secretly. Not only did she kidnap Mr. Baili, but she also wanted to catch Baiji and the others. Now Mr. Baili is in her hands. I'm afraid that Miss will be restricted when you return to the Capital City."

Fortunately, Lin Mengya had been well prepared. The small courtyard of Sanjue Hall's pharmacy was just a camouflage.

As soon as she left the Capital City, she had already arranged for a suitable person to send Baiji and the others to a hidden mansion.
