Chapter 617 The Start of the Plan

However, this time, they would definitely die miserably!

Inside the camp, Lin Mengya was holding Lin Moyan outside in the sun. It was as if she did not feel the increasingly tense atmosphere at all.

The child grew very fast and was different almost every day.

Although Moyan was very obedient, he was born to use crying to express his emotions.

Therefore, he would wake Lin Mengya up with his crying a few times in the latter half of the night.

However, this little one was so cute.

Every time he saw Lin Mengya, he would smile broadly with his big, black eyes.

Which woman would not love such a fair and lovely baby?

Hence, although Lin Mengya was a little tired after being tortured by the little fellow, she gradually learned how to take care of his diet and daily life without anyone else’s help.

Under her careful care, Lin Moyan gradually had chubby cheeks.

His chubby arms looked like lotus roots. If he put on an undergarment that only covered his chest and abdomen, he would definitely look better than the boy in the New Year Painting.

Of course, as his nominal aunt, she loved him even more. As long as she had nothing else to do, she would hold him in her arms.

He was treated so well that even Long Tianyu was jealous.

To everyone’s surprise, Qinghu, who had never taken a liking to children, took a fancy to this little boy.

Lin Moyan returned the favor. After seeing this attractive uncle for the first time, he drew a map with his urine as a gift presented to Qinghu, who had always attached great importance to hygiene, at their first meeting.

Therefore, every time Qinghu gnashed his teeth and looked at Lin Moyan with a threatening look, the little one would smile broadly and proudly.

Presumably, he didn’t mean it, did he?

“Moyan, you’ll be returning to the Capital City with me very soon. By then, you’ll stay in my courtyard with me. There are beautiful aunts and nannies who will definitely like you a lot. By the way, there are also Snow and the baby tiger. When you grow up, I’ll make them your mounts, okay?”

Lin Mengya sat on a chair and soothed Lin Moyan gently.

Part of her black hair was tied into a bun in the shape of a curved cloud, and the rest of it was hanging on her thin shoulders like flowing water.

Lin Moyan giggled, pulling her hair with his hands. It seemed that he liked this new toy very much.

In Lin Mengya’s mellow voice, the little boy widened his eyes as if he could really understand what she said.

“They are all ready. Our men can completely withdraw before dinner time.”

Xiao Yixin came over from behind Lin Mengya, but complicated emotions flashed through his beautiful eyes.

Just now, when he was standing behind Lin Mengya, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

In the soft light, Lin Mengya was utterly bathed in the glow of motherhood. Her soft voice when she was talking to Lin Moyan was deeply engraved in his heart.

He had read a lot of books, and what he once pursued was the company of a beautiful woman, so as not to waste his good times.

Such a quiet and peaceful scene had appeared thousands of times in his dreams.

He had thought that all the good things in the world belonged to the woman who had hurt him before.

However, he did not expect that Lin Mengya, who had been rejected and even despised by him deep inside, to become a sweet dream he would never be able to reach for the rest of his life in the years he did not know.

“Well, thank you for your hard work. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of everything here after we leave. Although it’s not easy to deal with the Crown Prince, if you reveal your identity as a member of the Xiao Family when necessary, they won’t dare to make things difficult for you. Brother Yixin, be careful. We’ll meet again in the Capital City.”

Holding the already asleep Lin Moyan in her arms, Lin Mengya turned around and spoke softly.

She nodded slightly, as if she was saying goodbye to the other party.

Under Xiao Yixin’s somewhat evasive gaze, she held Lin Moyan in her arms and slowly walked away.

Xiao Yixin stood where he was, but there was some melancholy in his eyes.

“Well, at least in this life, I’m still a trustworthy elder brother in her heart.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll just let the unwillingness in my heart fade away as time goes by.”

“Have you seen enough?”

Walking to a corner of the tent, Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qinghu, who was enjoying watching the scene.

“Little girl, do you want me to teach him a lesson?”

Qinghu approached Lin Mengya with a smile. No wonder he didn’t like Xiao Yixin last night.

Later, it was Baili Rui who told him everything.

Just when he went back to change his clothes, this guy looked at his little girl, enchanted.

Given his previous character, he had to dig out his eyeballs!

“Alright, stop fooling around. Did Mr. Baili tell you something? You can’t put all the blame on him for what happened back then. Besides, if I were a fool, wouldn’t you kill me as well when you saw me?”

Lin Mengya said a few words to stop Qinghu from making a move.

“I won’t. In this life, no matter what you become, I will protect you.”

Lin Mengya did not expect Qinghu to say something like that.

She looked up at Qinghu, only to find that he suddenly seemed to be unable to keep calm and revealed a smirk that he used to have.

She rolled her eyes at him. She knew that he was teasing her!

Looking at the red sun hanging high in the sky, she whispered, “I don’t want to talk to you. Well, you go with Mr. Baili first, and I’ll be there later.”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Didn’t you say that we would take action before dinner?”

When it came to business, Qinghu would not be so sloppy anymore.

There was a flash of light in his eyes. Now the situation in the camp was under his control.

“Li Jia said that several of the men who went out to investigate reported that they had been followed. Besides, a few people who were in charge of finding a place to stay vanished too. It seems that we are going to be caught in a trap. I know the Crown Prince’s way of doing things best. If he was not fully confident that he could catch us, do you think he would spend so much effort to keep us here? The only explanation is that his men are coming soon. They are keeping an eye on us, and in fact, they are not afraid that we will discover their secret actions. Thus, our plan has to be carried out in advance.”

Although those people were following Long Tianyu’s men in the dark, the fact that they could secretly kill some of them and let those who had noticed them come back here showed that they were giving them a piece of information.

The Crown Prince liked to play this kind of trick.

Did he think that he was a cat who had caught a mouse and was free to play with it?

What he didn’t know was that there were already many hidden talents in the camp.

“Okay, I get it. Do I need to kill those scouts?”

When it came to killing people, Qinghu always acted as if he was familiar with it.

Compared with those people who only knew how to fight, this kind of little mouse, who thought it was hidden in the cave, was Qinghu’s favorite appetizer.

“We don’t need to kill them. Just teach them a small lesson. I’m afraid that too many deaths will scare others,” Lin Mengya said calmly.

In the past few days, she had hardened her heart a lot.

The struggle for power would result in either her or someone else’s death.

She didn’t want to die again, because it would make those who loved her sad.

In that case, the only way was for others to die.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Qinghu disappeared from Lin Mengya’s side with a cold smile on his face.

The sun was warm, but who knew that in the dark, a bloody slaughter would gradually begin?

The lunchtime had just ended, and the whole camp was immersed in the afternoon’s laziness.

Young children fell asleep in their mothers’ gentle children’s songs.

Only the grown-up men on guard were still serious and meticulous, guarding their parents, wives, and children behind them.

In a situation where no one noticed, an inconspicuous carriage quietly drove out of the north gate of the camp.

Although the carriage was not big and attracted no attention from any of the guards, the sharp eyes of those scouts peeked in from the flying curtain. It seemed that there was a woman sitting there with a baby in her arms.

Finally, they arrived.

The commander sneered proudly, and then, under his instructions, more than a dozen shadows instantly followed the carriage secretly.

Now, where else could Princess Yu escape to?

The little carriage drove on the road unhurriedly, as if no one in it had found the followers at all.

Yet, the carriage gradually slowed down.

In the end, it quietly stopped in the middle of the road.

The shadows all stopped and exchanged messages silently with their gestures and eyes.

At last, they decided to go forward and take a look.

More than a dozen figures looked around vigilantly and surrounded the carriage together.

What shocked them was that the coachman, who had been in the carriage, was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

“Are them inside or not?”

All of a sudden, they all could not help but wonder if the people in the carriage had also disappeared into thin air.

Immediately, an impatient person hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage with his hand.

They saw nothing but a flash of silver light inside. They didn’t know what had happened, but they saw that the hand, which had just touched the curtain, had been completely chopped from its wrist in an instant.

There was no blood splashing. Even the owner of the wrist did not notice his injury.

Only a sword move that was extremely fast could have such a kind of strange and inexplicable power.

“Retreat!”

Some people reacted quickly. As their minds raced, they knew that there was someone tough that they couldn’t afford to mess with in the carriage.

Unfortunately, they were not as fast as the sword light of the person in the carriage.

“Since you’re here, at least you have to leave something behind before you leave. Don’t worry, we have plenty of time.”

The cold and mocking voice made these scouts, who had witnessed many deaths, feel the threat of death in an instant.
