Chapter 539 Unexpectedly, They End up Empty-handed
Qian Yuming gave his order with a cold face. Then those silly guys rushed to these people as they were ordered.
“Qian Yuming! You want to rebel!”
Chang Tianhua was the first and only one coming out to stop him.
Presumably, he didn’t expect that Qian Yuming would even resort to such an unscrupulous tactic.
“Old Chang, you’d better go back and rest. Soone, send Elder Chang back.”
Seeing the exasperated Chang Tianhua, Nan Rui had sowhat complacency in his eyes.
He didn’t co out to stop Qian Yuming from doing that thing just now, but he ca to stop Chang Tianhua at this mont.
“An outsider” was indeed different from “an insider.” Of course, Chang Tianhua didn’t want to leave.
But as Nan Rui waved his hand, he and the disciples beside Duanmu Yang ca to Chang Tianhua.
“What are you doing? Stop! Stop, all of you!”
Chang Tianhua’s expression changed greatly, but now he could hardly take care of himself.
The two sides were falling into danger. Lin ngya knew that Nan Rui and his companions would not really make things difficult for Chang Tianhua.
They just didn’t allow him to have the chance to send a ssage to Cousin Chen.
“Do we really have to risk our lives today?”
“Don’t worry. You will be fine.”
Long Tianyu comforted Lin ngya in a low and deep voice. Since he was here, the motley crew would not be able to harm his princess.
“Don’t use your True Qi, or your health—”
Lin ngya whispered, feeling a little worried.
This man would never take his own safety as a top priority. Especially under such circumstances, letting him accept others’ threat and protection was to kill him indeed.
The encirclent was gradually becoming smaller and smaller. They had begun dealing with Chang Tianhua, and a scuffle began.
Lin ngya took Long Tianyu’s hem, but she had exchanged information with Xiu with her eyes.
Since the other party had turned hostile, they shouldn’t bla her for her counterattack!
A vicious look appeared and vanished in her eyes. She and Xiu looked at each other, and sowhat anticipation appeared in the latter’s eyes.
“Let’s move!”
Lin ngya snarled, and their opponents had almost reached them.
The two sides were to fight in an instant and would not stop until there was a deadly result.
Unexpectedly, a silvery long sword was instantly plunged into the ground before these people with a “chink.”
The hilt of the sword quivered, but everyone here couldn’t help gasping when seeing the threatening silvery light.
The long sword had been plunged quite deep into the ground. More importantly, the ground was paved with bluestone.
“Anyone who dares to touch the princess and prince will be killed.”
The cold voice with sowhat destructive power made everyone here feel a chill in their neck, afraid that the sharp sword would fall on their head the next mont.
A cinereous figure walked out slowly from behind the crowd.
Lin ngya looked in the direction where the voice ca from and saw the familiar figure of Liu Xuan, who was standing straight like a pillar between heaven and earth.
Behind him were no less than 100 elite guards.
Lin ngya had a smile because she knew that these elite soldiers were the source of her confidence.
“Elder Qian, you want to take , don’t you?”
Instantly, not to ntion Qian Yuming, even Nan Rui and the two brothers of the Duanmu Family changed their expressions.
“You are the sa, aren’t you? You blasphed the royal family and ignored the order of the emperor. This is the cri of getting the whole of your clan killed with the imperial order. Since you dared to do so, you have to have guts to face the result.”
Lin ngya looked around with her beautiful eyes.
Standing not far away, Liu Xuan walked over and unsheathed his long sword.
At the mont, he seed to be looking at a herd of livestock to be slaughtered.
Nan Rui and his companions instantly turned pale.
“This, this is a misunderstanding. This is the result of Elder Qian’s old man’s stupidity. We...we just...”
Duanmu Yang still wanted to defend themselves a bit, but Liu Xuan’s timing of appearance was quite at the right mont.
Right, it was Qian Yuming who had given an order to those n, but Nan Rui and the two mbers of the Duanmu Family were not completely innocent.
“You people just want to kill with a borrowed knife. Elder Duanmu, I respected you people previously, not wanting to make you guys my enemy, but now you’ve made a terrible disaster. The Pavilion of Herbs has made you habitually capricious, but rember, this is the Nation of Lintian. No one can be superior to imperial power.”
Lin ngya’s voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone on site to hear her clearly.
Nan Rui, Duanmu Yin, and Duanmu Yang trembled slightly as they heard these words.
“Alas, I’m old indeed. What the princess said is right. We did have a daydream.”
Unexpectedly, the first one who admitted this was their fate was Duanmu Yin.
Lin ngya looked at him. Previously, she had heard that Duanmu Yin was even crueler and more rciless than his brother.
“This ti, why did he—”
“But do you think that the Nation of Lintian is still in the pocket of the Zuo Family, princess? Haha, little girl, you are too naive!”
As expected, Duanmu Yin looked at Lin ngya with a bit of ridicule in his shining eyes.
“Even if you detain all of us, what’s the use of it? The nurous people in the Nation of Lintian will plead for us. If you kill us, it ans you offend the whole Nation of Lintian. Besides, it’s hard to predict the number of people who will die because of us. I’ve been scheming for half my life, so how could you, a little girl, to destroy my sche!”
Duanmu Yin was so wildly arrogant that Lin ngya even pitied him a bit.
“I know your final card, but do you really think that there’s no antidote for the Immortal Powder? You are so old, but I didn’t expect you to be so naive. Guards, take them away. By the way, Duanmu Yin, I also need to say ‘thank you’ in the na of my cousin.”
Lin ngya burst out smiling and destroyed the old jerk’s fantasy.
Not only Duanmu Yin but also Nan Rui and Duanmu Yang didn’t know how Lin ngya had destroyed their arrangents.
Lin ngya felt too tired to say anything to them. Instead, she asked Liu Xuan to detain all their disciples, not allowing any one of them to slip away. Then, she went to Chang Tianhua with a few people.
“Elder Chang, do you know whether there is sowhere in the Pavilion of Herbs so secretive that even they usually can’t enter?”
Chang Tianhua didn’t know what had happened, but he thought hard and then said, “Yes, there is a bamboo wood in the backyard, where the ordinary disciples are forbidden to go. I heard that these three old jerks had sneaked into it a few tis before. Maybe what you are looking for is in the wood of the backyard.”
With Chang Tianhua leading the way, these few people and Liu Xuan picked dozens of elite soldiers and went to the backyard of the Pavilion of Herbs.
Apart from Lin ngya and Liu Xuan, all others seed to be ignorant of it.
But they all believed Lin ngya, so they didn’t have too many questions.
The wood was deep. Presumably, it would not be the scale it was now without having grown for 100 years.
The group of people felt their way as they moved forward. After walking for about half an hour, Lin ngya found sothing unusual with her knee sense of sll.
“Sothing is wrong. Be alert, everyone!”
She didn’t need to say so because everyone was quite alert.
After they had continued moving forward for a long ti, they saw a quiet and secluded small courtyard.
“This is... Sister Princess, our little venomous creatures seem to have perceived sothing!”
Xiu whispered. Then, she turned her hand back, and an extrely venomous purple scorpion appeared on her palm.
Lin ngya had no idea about that, but she knew that her venomous scorpion seed to be more delighted than just now.
“It seems we are right.”
Liu Xuan and the elite soldiers were at the end of the line. Finally, these people explored the way and reached the outside of the courtyard.
He signaled to the whole team to stop. After that, two capable soldiers instantly jumped over the wall and into the courtyard.
Shortly, the soldiers ca back hurriedly. At this mont, the gate had been opened by them, and everything in the yard could be seen.
“My lord, we haven’t found any traces. The people here have left.”
“What?” Lin ngya couldn’t believe it!
They had really launched a surprise attack. Lin ngya had only guessed that Cousin Chen would send people to help her.
But for the sake of confidentiality, she and Liu Xuan had never communicated before.
Although their opponents were so unprepared, they had fled, leaving them an empty building.
So, how could she not be furious?
“Let go in and take a look!”
Now she was quite angry. “Were these people really so resourceful that they could make a prediction?”
Lin ngya didn’t believe it and walked in quickly.
There was the unique fishy but sweet sll of the Immortal Powder in the air. This was right, absolutely.
But the yard had been cleaned. Even the cup of fragrant tea on the bluestone table in the yard was still warm.
Undoubtedly, this was a sheer provocation to Lin ngya!
“Look for them even if we have to dig deep in the ground!”
Hearing Liu Xuan’s order, the elite soldiers needed to disperse and search the surroundings.
“No need to search. They’ve left for a long ti. I am afraid that this place might have been empty a few days ago. The cup of tea is used to insult by them.”
Much of the Immortal Powder’s sll had gone. Although the tea was warm, the table was covered with dust.
The wood was dense. Moreover, many of their disciples were not far away in the Pavilion of Herbs.
The bold person who had dared to co back to make the cup of tea naturally had a superb feat.
So, it was almost impossible to find this person.
No matter what, they could not take the hundreds of disciples of the Pavilion of Herbs and interrogate them severely.
After her initial indignation was gone, Lin ngya had gradually cald down.
She picked up the teacup and gulped down the warm tea.
Maybe in the eyes of the other party, she was just a slightly troubleso little cat or little dog.
But she would let those people know that although she seed to play a useless minor part, soday she would press on their throat, leaving them nowhere to escape.
“They have left, but we still have Nan Rui and his companions, these damn old n, don’t we? Cousin, it is said that you have a great way of interrogating prisoners. I don’t know if we can check it out today?”
Zuo Qiuyu pretended to smile, but like Lin ngya, he was unwilling to accept such a result, in fact.
“Right, we still have the four people, don’t we? Let’s go back and do a good interrogation. I’ll let them tell all they know!”
With a bang, Lin ngya smashed the teacup on the table. Imdiately, it turned to pieces.
