Chapter 743 - The Relic of the Guwei State (1/2)
The two of them walked around the street. As Lin Mengya did not like lively places, they accidentally stepped into a relatively quiet alley.
At this moment, Lin Mengya felt rather sleepy. Unwilling to disturb her, Long Tianyu just took off his outer garment and covered her with it.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to get out of the alley, he suddenly heard an unusual sound.
Long Tianyu subconsciously covered Lin Mengya with his body to protect her, but did not expect that someone made the sound on purpose to trap him.
Just when he realized it, the white powder scattered in the air in a split second.
Long Tianyu quickly drove the powder away with his inner strength, but there was still a little powder he failed to drive away falling on Lin Mengya’s face.
She, who was half-asleep just now, immediately fell asleep.
Knitting his straight eyebrows, he pulled her into his embrace.
After making sure that her pulse was steady, he lifted his eyes to look coldly at the man who strode in from outside the alley.
“Rest assured. It’s not a poison, but something capable of making her sleep better. Besides, I don’t think you want her to hear our conversation today,” at the entrance of the alley, the man, who was dressed in white and waving a folding fan, said with a composed look.
He showed an amicable smile on his handsome and calm face and talked lightly, which made him quite convincing.
Except for people as determined as Long Tianyu, others would immediately treat him as a nice person.
But nice people were not supposed to launch such a surprise attack.
“Prince Yu, you seem to have misunderstood me. In fact, I’m not a villain, but just an old friend of the lady’s teacher. Before she came here, her master sent someone to me. I’m at leisure, so I followed her here to help her.” The man pointed out Long Tianyu’s identity directly.
Meanwhile, he put on an extremely sincere look and spread out his hands.
However, Long Tianyu had always been suspicious, especially when facing this kind of person who tried to impress him.
“I know you won’t believe me. This is a handwritten letter her muddle-headed teacher wrote to me. He said you would find out who I am after reading it. Don’t worry, her teacher has trained her into a person immune to various poisons. No knockout drugs other than my Green Jade Powder can work on her.” As the man spoke, he drew an envelope from his bosom and reached out to throw it to Long Tianyu without looking at it.
After looking around cautiously and putting the woman, who was sleeping in his arms, in the wheelchair, Long Tianyu picked up the envelope on the ground, opened it and read the letter after making sure that it contained no trick.
It was a long letter, but the words were incoherent.
But he was not anxious, because it was a trick used by Lin Mengya, Baili Rui and him.
Back then, the Crown Prince and other forces kept an eye on Prince Yu’s Mansion all the time.
In order to exchange messages with Baili Rui without being discovered, they selected a few poems and arranged them in a certain order.
In this way, many commonly used words could be found in the poems.
After exchanging messages in this way repeatedly, Lin Mengya, Baili Rui and he got used to it.
Moreover, no one other than the three of them knew it.
Long Tianyu read the letter carefully and recognized that it was Baili Rui’s handwriting and the content was exactly the same as his speculation.
It seemed that this man was really Baili Rui’s friend.
Baili Rui wrote in the letter that Qian Hua was one of his best friends, proficient in medical skill, and came here to help them remove the remaining poison in Lin Mengya’s body.
However, the letter said he was supposed to catch up with them a few days ago.
Why did he come so many days later than expected? Was he a fake?
Noticing the confused look in Long Tianyu’s eyes, Qian Hua knew that he had to explain it.
He coughed twice, followed by a series of rustling sounds around. It seemed that some people had left.
“If you have any questions now, feel free to ask me,” Qian Hua said naturally, showing no flaw.
With the letter in his hand, Long Tianyu sized Qian Hua up without being be noticed and said, “Since you are a capable man sent by Mr. Baili, why do you come so many days later than expected? I’m afraid this letter is not enough to convince me.”
Qian Hua seemed to feel helpless. He shrugged his shoulders, folded the paper fan in his hand and said, “Alas, actually I’m late because of you. Since you are from the royal family of the Jin State, I believe that you know the Candle Dragon Cult, don’t you?”
Another thing related to the Candle Dragon Cult! Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes in an instant.
Then he returned to normal and glanced at Qian Hua with vigilance.
