Chapter 38 Lure the Enemy Away

“I’m too tired today. Let’s deal with him tomorrow morning. Dislocate his jaw and joints to stop him from making suicide. If he kills himself, I would be disappointed.”

Lin Mengya covered her mouth and gave a yawn.

But the boy had already been scared out of his wits. He looked at Lin Mengya as if she was a hideous person out of the hell.

Guards in Prince Yu’s Mansion were efficient. Lin Mengya heard several crisp sounds and the boy curled up in the corner like an invertebrate.

“I am a little tired today. Let’s go back. Keep an eye on him and don’t let him run away, do you understand?”

They asked two guards to stay at the door of the boy’s cell.

But all her fatigue completely vanished when she left the cell and Lin Mengya was still in high spirits.

She turned and went into another cell. There were two guards of Prince Yu’s Mansion sitting here and they were throwing pieces of pork into the charcoal brazier.

In fact, the burnt smell that made the boy so terrified came from the pork.

“Princess!” When Lin Mengya came in, the two guards immediately got up and bowed to her.

Those who followed her and came in the cell suddenly understood the truth. The surprised expression on their faces made the two guards, who were burning pork slightly stunned.

“Princess, your strategy is so crafty. You made the boy tell the truth so easily and we’re so admired.” Lin Kui was also deeply impressed by the unique method of the Princess. Subduing the enemy without fighting was the best military strategy.

The Princess achieved the victory and made the enemy completely collapse without fight or blood, which was the best and most terrifying strategy.

“It’s nothing. My plan is just a small trick to the real warriors like you. We still need to sit around and wait tonight. I’m afraid that something might happen to the boy.”

Before leaving home, the Prince had asked Steward Deng and Lin Kui to follow the orders of the Princess.

What’s more, they were also deeply impressed by the scheme made by the Princess.

Although they didn’t understand what the Princess had said, they still waited quietly because it was her order.

“Princess, how can we deal with the assassin who pretends to be a woman? Do we need to terrify him like what we did to the boy before?” Lin Kui didn’t know what kind of tricks the Princess would use, so he just asked her.

“No. Torture him with all the cruel punishments. If he gives in, you need to make sure that he tells all the things. If he still refuses to tell the truth, you can beat him to death.”

He was just the cannon fodder and had no value to her.

His master just sent him to his death, so Lin Mengya was sure that he was not important and didn’t care whether he was dead or alive.

“Yes.”

Lin Kui immediately followed her order and left. In the evening, Lin Mengya told everyone that they must be very careful when entering and leaving the cell, and all of them must wear the jailer’s clothes.

Her men would pretend to be the jailor and walked around to check the cell every two hours.

The boy still curled up in the corner like a dead dog.

Lin Mengya sat in the chair and drank the tea from the governor.

“Princess, it’s already 10 o’clock, should we wait any longer?” Steward Deng frowned and asked. It would damage her reputation if someone knew that the Princess had stayed out all night.

“yes, you don’t have to be too nervous, but don’t be too relaxed either.” She didn’t believe that they could spend this night quietly.

Lin Mengya didn’t believe it, so she needed to wait and see.

However, after about 15 minutes, a guard in Prince Yu’s Mansion suddenly appeared and told them a piece of news.

He said that there were many assassins in the mansion and the Prince was at stake now.

But the best guards were with Lin Mengya to protect her, so they came here and asked her for help.

Lin Mengya looked at the guard who was covered with blood and finally nodded at Steward Deng. Maybe they lured all the guards away and wanted to kill the prince when there were few guards at the mansion tonight.

“Princess, please go back with us.”

Lin Kui found 13 guards and was gonna go back to the mansion to save the Prince.

But he was worried if the Princess stayed here alone.

But Lin Mengya shook her head and said, “This place was safer for me than Prince Yu’s Mansion. You can pick me up after killing the assassins in the mansion.”

Lin Kui thought carefully and finally left with the guards.

There were only 5 people in the interrogation room, which was crowded just now.

Lin Mengya still sat in her chair and drank tea, but there were complex emotions in her eyes.

“Princess, it seems that someone is walking outside. Maybe Lin Kui and the guards…”

Steward Deng, who had a keen ear, was gonna open the door to ask while he was stopped by Lin Mengya.

She gestured to Steward Deng to make them keep silent and climbed onto a chair to look outside through an inconspicuous hole.

In the hallway, an inconspicuous jailer took the lantern and walked to the opposite cell where the boy was held.

He opened the lock and slipped in after looking around and finding that no one was looking at him.

After a while, they heard the boy’s groan from the dark cell. Lin Mengya smiled silently.

It seemed that they really wanted to lure the guards away.

But Lin Mengya didn’t expect that she was their target instead of the Prince.

“Prince, what happened outside?”

Steward Deng lowered his voice and asked. Judging from her expression, he knew that it was not Lin Kui who was walking outside.

“No matter who calls outside, don’t open the door or give any responses later. Do you understand?”

Steward Deng nodded and asked the other three guards to keep silent at the same time.

She had guessed right. The boy, who was at the mercy of Lin Mengya before, walked out of the cell quickly now.

But he had completely changed.

He was quite clean-cut before, but now he looked very charming.

Yes, he was charming. But most people would feel cold and scared at first sight of him.

It seemed that he just pretended to be scared by her before. He acted so well that even Lin Mengya was deceived by him.

“Don’t hide there and come out. All your guards have left and if you volunteer to come out, I can spare your life.” Even all his joints had been fixed, the boy still felt weird.

His face darkened. The sinister look on his enchanting face made people feel scared.

Lin Mengya was not stupid. She clearly knew that she would die a horrible death if she came out obediently.

“Well, you don’t want to come out, right? That’s fine, I like to play this kind of cat-and-mouse game. Please find a hidden place and I’m gonna come in and get you!” Under the dim light, the boy’s white teeth looked sinister.

Lin Mengya quietly stood at the door, and now she didn’t have to peek because the boy did not plan to hide from her.

He acted so well and had durable endurance, who was he?

“Chu An, ask everyone to search this place! You must find the beauty for me! Don’t kill her, I want her alive!”

The man, who pretended to be a jailor, bowed respectfully. And then countless black shadows appeared from the darkness.

At this moment, Lin Mengya finally realized that the servile governor was the spy she tried to find out.

But they may also have a planted agent in the Prince Yu’s Mansion.

But the spy knew that she would go to the broker house today and had the ability to allow the father and daughter to organize the contest on the street. What’s more, he/she also let many assassins in tonight.

It seemed that only the governor could do all of these things.

Fortunately, the room was locked from the inside and they couldn’t enter in a short time even if they found this place from the outside.

“Young lord, we’ve searched every place and didn’t find that woman.” Chu An said in a low voice and he was very respectful to the boy.

The teenager was the young lord of these men. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Mengya’s hiding place with a fake smile.

“Well, beauty, I’ve already given you an opportunity. I’ll not spare you if you keep hiding here.” He teased her in a skittish tone.

Lin Mengya was surprised. She finally realized that she was fooled by this guy.

But it was still uncertain that he could catch her and be the winner.

“I don’t want to come out, what can you do with me?” “You’re just a brat but you speak like you’re an elder man. Shame on you!” Lin Mengya suddenly said something inside the room, but what she said was cutting.

However, the boy was not annoyed. Instead, he laughed for a while till tears came to his eyes.

“Haha. You’re so interesting. I look young because I have the magical arts of rejuvenation. Maybe I’m even older than your father.”

His laughter was particularly harsh at night.

But Lin Menya knew that he was a hard nut to crack.

“Well, you said I can call you uncle and dad. You’re so amazing and can become a father and son at the same time.”

Lin Mengya was sure that she was more sharp-tongued than others in a quarrel.

“Hey, you are a sharp-tongued girl. At first, I want to sit down and talk to you, but it seems that you’re reluctant to do so. Chu An, ask the other men to catch the girl and you can kill her if necessary. ”

“Yes, young lord.” The boy disappeared in the darkness with a cruel smile.

Lin Mengya looked Chu An gravely and tried to think of a way to get away.

“My young gave orders. We’ll not spare you if you keep hiding in the room.”

Compared with his lord, Chu An was more efficient. But Lin Mengya was not terrified. Thanks to the solid copper door, she dared to retort.

“Get the fuck out of here! Your lord is nothing to me! This stone room is solid and you can’t enter it even with arrows or swords. You can tear down this place if you have the time!”

Steward Deng and the other three guards all frowned and looked at Lin Mengya strangely.

Why did the Princess quarrel with the guy like a shrew? She was very elegant before.

Maybe the Princess had had an idea!
