Chapter 465 It Was Difficult to Enter the City

“Why can’t we enter the city?”

Under Long Tianyu’s cold eyes, the guard involuntarily shivered.

He looked at Long Tianyu in a quandary, but still stopped his horse.

“Mister, you may have forgotten it after a long time. Our prefecture is in the charge of Prince Qing. You can enter the city at normal times. But these days I got the order that no one is allowed to enter the city without the invitation.”

Long Tianyu snorted coldly, but saw someone among the team beside them take out a gold token.

There was a character Qing written in a lively and vigorous style on the token, but he could tell that it didn’t seem like granted by a prince based on its specification.

“Get out of the way. We are just normal tourists intending to visit here. We are not officials.”

Long Tianyu rebuked him coldly, but unexpectedly, the guard waved his hand instead of getting out of the way.

In an instant, a group of guards stared fiercely at Long Tianyu and his team with spears in their hands.

“Mister, I don’t mean to offend you, but we got the order. If you insist on entering the city without the invitation, we have to offend you.”

For a time, they confronted each other with swords.

Although those guards didn’t dare to rush at them first, the blades of their spears were sharp and bright.

Long Tianyu glanced at them, and they were startled by the cold eyes of the childe on the horse.

Nevertheless, they still braced themselves to block his way.

In the past, even if Long Tianyu fought his way through a group of people, few of them could block his way.

He glanced at those who were about to enter the city, and found that there were some small characters engraved on the gold token.

The guard would read the small characters while verifying the information after taking the token.

They had probably recorded the information of those who held the tokens.

The Prince Qing was a careful person. However, in this case, even if they got an invitation from someone else, they would probably give themselves away when entering the city.

Long Tianyu patted his horse and turned around. Seeing the man with a cold face leave, the guards felt glad.

At that moment, they just felt a shiver down their spines.

Moreover, they knew that once they fought with the man, they were certainly no match for him.

Other people and horses stopped when Long Tianyu went to inquire.

Now seeing him return without accomplishing anything, they had to walk away a little, so as not to delay others’ entering the city.

Lin Mengya poked her head out of the carriage and looked at Long Tianyu in puzzlement. Although she knew nothing about what had happened, Zuo Qiuyu, who had been beside her carriage since they set out, said that Long Tianyu seemed to have quarreled with the guards because of entering the city.

“What happened?”

Seeing Long Tianyu walk to her window, Lin Mengya involuntarily asked.

Hearing he said that they needed an invitation to enter the city, Lin Mengya frowned slightly.

“Cousin Yu, send someone to find out whether all of cousin Chen’s factions got no invitation.”

Zuo Qiuyu sent someone to do that immediately. After a while, the one came back and reported that Lin Mengya was right.

“That’s right. What invitation? He just intends to stop us from passing. He has sent the invitations half a year ago. It seems that the Prince Qing has planned it long ago.”

Moreover, he did it so secretly that even Cousin Chen didn’t know it.

The Prince Qing was so audacious and even didn’t show any respect for the emperor!

“Prince Qing is abominable indeed, but the vital problem is how to get into the city. Maybe we can break into the city. We will expose our identities in the worst situation. I don’t believe that he dares to kill me!”

Zuo Qiuyu growled with his eyes full of unwillingness.

But Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya stopped him at the same time.

“No, we can’t. I looked around and found there are plenty of guards at the gate. Besides, not all of them are the guards of Prince Qing. If we kill them indiscriminately, your brother’s troops will be weakened.”

Although Long Tianyu was proud, he was not arrogant.

He knew about the current situation better than Zuo Qiuyu.

“Well, tell me, how can we enter the city? Since he has made up his mind to intercept the members of my brother’s factions, the situation in other cities of Yulong Prefecture might be the same. Are we going to make a big detour?”

Zuo Qiuyu was in great rage. He beat the carriage so violently that the carriage vibrated.

At the sight of this, Lin Mengya knew that he felt aggrieved. But she couldn’t think of a good way in a short while.

She didn’t know when they were discussing a major event, the pretty faces of hers and Baishao’s came into the view of a lascivious man.

Not far from them, there was a tea stand. A few sturdy men dressed like servants were laughing and drinking tea there.

Among them, there sat a man dressed in a red brocade robe.

The man was in his twenties with a white face and regular features, but he stared fixedly at the women and girls coming and going.

As long as a woman or a girl with an acceptable look passed by, he measured her with the eye at will.

Sometimes he even made fun of the women and girls with the lackeys beside him and told some embarrassing sexual jokes.

However, the family members of the women or girls either protected them or hurriedly dragged them away. None dared to go against these people.

But at this moment, his attention was attracted by the two pretty ladies who had exposed half of their faces not far away.

“Master, what are you looking at?”

Seeing his master dumbfounded, a servant hurriedly asked.

He involuntarily looked in the direction of where his master looked, only to see two extremely pretty and charming faces.

He immediately understood why his master lost himself in that.

“Hey, they are extraordinary beauties indeed. Master, it would be awesome to take such beauties home. Shall we…”

Several men chuckled and reached a certain shady tacit agreement.

Watching the carriage where the two ladies sat, they walked over swaggeringly with malicious intentions.

While Lin Mengya was thinking about a good way to enter the city, she heard a frivolous and disrespectful voice.

“Hey, where do you come from? You are so pretty.”

Long Tianyu looked in the direction where the voice came, and saw four or five rogues looking like servants walk up to them.

With his face darkening, Long Tianyu just wanted to flare up, but Lin Mengya stopped him by dragging his sleeve and shaking her head.

“Who are you?”

Zuo Qiuyu asked impatiently. However, after seeing the man with a covetous face not far away, he got even more furious.

“Who are we? I’m afraid you will be frightened by our identities! I tell you, our master is the eldest heir of Prince Qing’s Mansion. You are in our Prince Qing’s territory. Today our master is in a good mood, so he wants to invite these two ladies to have some tea.”

They looked at Lin Mengya and Baishao, who were in the carriage, with malicious intentions.

The two ladies in front were gorgeous indeed. All the ladies in the Yulong Prefecture probably could not compare with them.

Here came another womanizer with strong lust. Lin Mengya just wanted to ignore him.

However, the man was said to be the eldest heir of Prince Qing. She had a sudden inspiration.

She came up with a way to enter the city!

Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu both looked at those servants coldly, and thought that they could beat these lackeys easily. However, before they took actions, Lin Mengya answered with a smile.

“It’s just an invitation for having some tea, and I happen to be thirsty. Baishao, help me get out of the carriage. Let’s go to meet the heir of Prince Qing.”

Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu froze for a moment. They did not expect that Lin Mengya would suddenly agree.

Under their slightly confused and angry eyes, Lin Mengya gave them a subtle look.

“He’s the heir of Prince Qing. Can you afford to offend him?”

They were shocked by Lin Mengya’s amorous expression. Under their dull eyes, coaxed by several servants, Lin Mengya and Baishao walked gently towards the heir of Prince Qing.

With the murderous intent rising in his eyes, Long Tianyu was about to follow them and set off his killing spree. However, Zuo Qiuyu dragged his arm in time.

He turned around and exuded displeased murderous intent. Zuo Qiuyu was so terribly frightened that he shrank his neck and thought that Long Tianyu was coming at him.

Nevertheless, Zuo Qiuyu still pouted his lips with a bitter face and whispered.

“Can’t you discern Mengya’s intention? She intends to make use of the heir of Prince Qing and infiltrate into the city. I know you are displeased with it, but I promise that you will get the opportunity to take revenge on him. Now you should bear it.”

Zuo Qiuyu consoled him with sincerity, and might be gloating over his displeasure at the same time.

After staring at him for a long while, Long Tianyu held back his murderous intent unwillingly.

Nevertheless, he still stared fixedly at the heir of Prince Qing, who was giggling and flirting, with his narrow and dark eyes.

Meanwhile, he was thinking about how many pieces he should chop him into so as to calm his anger.

However, the complacent heir of Prince Qing didn’t know that he had messed with a friend.

At this moment, his mind was fully occupied by the two beauties.

The heir of Prince Qing was Zuo Yuanyi. He had great ambition but little talent, and was always driven by passion.

He had occupied numerous girls from decent families, and had a dozen of wives and concubines at the age of twenty-seven.

Besides, he had abandoned numerous girls after getting tired of them.

Relying on his father’s power and influence, he was completely lawless in Yulong Prefecture. Thus, his father was rather displeased with him, but couldn’t beat or scold him because of his mother’s status.

In a fit of pique, his father assigned him the hard job of supervising the emperor’s close relatives here.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yuanyi, who was bored, saw gorgeous beauties at the gate.

Moreover, there were two of them, so he was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to get close to them.

Now he took a closer look at the two beauties, and found the one in front was delicate and bright and the one behind was gorgeous and stunning. In an instant, with the lust rising in his heart, he had evil thoughts and forgot everything his father had instructed him….
