Chapter 463 Strategic Cheating

Their romantic meeting was like the glint and flash of daggers and swords. Two people who were supposed to be arch enemies had fallen in love with one another recklessly.

It felt like the storyline of a drama and different editions of the story kept emerging from Lin Mengya’s mind.

“The inn is just ahead of us.”

Zuo Qiuyu, who was riding on the horse in front of them was talking to Long Tianyu in a low voice.

He nodded. The two men had been keeping their vigilance every moment of the way. They did not want any accidents to happen.

None of the places where they rested for the night along the journey had been designated or planned beforehand.

At most, they would send men ahead to check out the inns and make a booking then.

Their trip to the old capital city would eventually be discovered by those people.

Zuo Qiuchen had tried his best to keep this a secret as long as possible.

Long Tianyu could not help but be reminded of the fact that he and Lin Mengya had always been secretive when they go out, but they would always end up causing a great commotion.

Instinctively, the corners of his mouth turned up. It seemed that his life and even Dajin had been given new ease of life since Lin Mengya married into his family.

If he eventually succeeded in his endeavors in the future and Lin Mengya remained by his side, his life would be complete.

“Why are you smiling?”

Zuo Qiuyu gazed at Long Tianyu curiously.

To Zuo Qiuyu, this man was somehow different from his brother, the emperor.

Zuo Qiuchen and his brother had grown up in the palace likened to a deep fryer. For this reason, his brother, the emperor had picked up the skill of being pleasant on the outside but ruthless on the inside.

Long Tianyu, however, was different. If not for his relationship with Lin Mengya, Zuo Qiuyu believed that Long Tianyu would not have been friendly towards him.

Occasionally even Zuo Qiuchen was intimidated by Long Tianyu when he put on a serious expression.

Back when he was in Dajin, he had heard that Prince Yu was the most unfeeling person and was someone who was not easy to get along.

Therefore Zuo Qiuyu was truly surprised to see Long Tianyu smile.

“It’s nothing.”

Zuo Qiuyu’s voice dampened his high spirits abruptly.

Long Tianyu’s expression instantly went back to being sulky.

Zuo Qiuyu had to take his hat off to Long Tianyu’s ability to change his expression in an instant.

“How long could your brother delay the time?”

Long Tianyu inquired in a low voice. If he wanted to stay undercover, his men should go much further.

After all, his men had followed him here from Dajin. It would be easy for people to recognize that they were foreigners.

For this reason, once there was any sign of movement, only the spies sent out by Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu would return to report to them.

Long Tianyu could not help feeling helpless when he had to rely on other people and take the back seat.

“At most ten days, because everyone already knew that my brother the emperor had found Little Sister Mengya. Moreover, Little Sister Mengya was closely linked to the election of the chief elder of the Pavilion of Herbs. She would certainly go to the old capital. The only factor unknown to others would be the time we set out on this journey.”

Zuo Qiuyu finally began to take this seriously. At this moment, they were all dressed like rich young men.

While Zuo Qiuyu was dressed in white, Long Tianyu was dressed in black. One was scholarly and gentlemanly, while the other was cold but dashing. They had attracted much admiration from the young women along the way.

Fortunately, his teacher had brought him on trips around the country since he was young. Long Tianyu, being a foreigner, was also able to ride on the horse openly along the journey.

“That’s good too, since we’ve arrived at the inn, why don’t you go to the back to inform the rest.”

Long Tianyu instructed Zuo Qiuyu. Without waiting for his protest, Long Tianyu simply walked towards Lin Mengya’s horse carriage, leaving an angry-looking Zuo Qiuyu standing there.

Lin Mengya was leaning against at the window when she saw Zuo Qiuyu’s twisted face and could not stop smiling.

Where had the intelligent, witty, bold, and sensitive Imperial Physician Qiu gone?

It seemed that the moment this guy returned to the Nation of Lintian, he had become the target of exploitation to all the people.

“Are you bullying Cousin Yu again? For goodness sake, we should give him some credit given we are in his territory.”

Lin Mengya supported her chin with her left hand as she berated Long Tianyu, smiling.

Long Tianyu merely glanced at Zuo Qiuyu with indifference, then he nodded in submission to Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya immediately felt a sense of satisfaction welling up from her heart.

It was the feeling of pride as if she had succeeded in taming a Tibetan mastiff.

She was secretly delighted.

If Long Tianyu found out that she had likened him to a dog, would he charge at her and maul her to death?

Yes, a dog indeed.

When Long Tianyu spied the complacent smile on Lin Mengya’s face, he was puzzled.

He truly did not understand what was on her mind.

However, for some reason, the feeling Long Tianyu got was that he had been eyed by a wild beast.

Swallowing, he wondered if this lass could be that scary.
