Chapter 720 The Stalkers

Qinghu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little complicated.

He turned around, covered his mouth with his hands and kept shrugging his shoulders.

“Hey, what are you laughing about?” Finally, Lin Mengya glared at him fiercely and asked. Didn’t people say that women acting pettishly could be lucky? Why did she just become a laughingstock?

“Nothing... Look, I’ve packed some buns for you. It’s not safe to stay here for long. Although that man is sensible, I can’t put my mind at ease.” As Qinghu said, he drew a warm paper packet from his bosom.

Lin Mengya took it immediately, drew a tender soup fried bun out of it, and took a small bite cautiously.

“He’s not an ordinary person. We’d better stay away from him as much as possible. By the way, did you get any news about my father and brother from the Capital City?” She narrowed her eyes and said, seeming to be enjoying the soup fried bun.

However, her taste became less sensitive. Although she didn’t find food tasted no better than tallow, she ate mostly to fill the stomach and could no longer enjoy the food.

“They have left the Capital City safely like us, and they are on their way now. Don’t worry. Given your father’s and brother’s martial arts and wisdom, no one can put them in a difficult situation. But Long Tianyu probably has discovered that you left without saying goodbye. I think you’d better think it over and decide whether to tell him about this,” Qinghu said.

Lin Mengya stopped chewing for a moment. Then she returned to normal and continued gulping the bun in her hand, while saying, “I don’t think it necessary. Let’s continue our journey.”

Watching the stubborn girl’s back, Qinghu shook his head slightly.

In fact, apart from her father and brother, that guy was probably the one Lin Mengya was most concerned about.

However, although she missed him terribly, for some reason, she had to hide her feeling in distress.

“Alright, let’s go,” Qinghu, who never refused Lin Mengya, said and pushed her out of the market.

The painted pleasure boat departed from the dock of Yang City and floated down the stream.

With the replenishment, they could stay on board and didn’t need to disembark for replenishing supplies in half a month.

Apart from being pushed to the deck by Qinghu and basking in the sunshine every morning, Lin Mengya mostly stayed in her cabin and read the books Qinghu gathered from all over the country.

Meanwhile, the snacks and delicacies Qinghu bought along the way were served to Lin Mengya successively.

However, she usually took only a few bites of them. Her diminished appetite made Qinghu frown all the time.

Fortunately, with Baili Rui’s detoxifying pills, she did not become emaciated.

“This book is quite interesting. Why are you looking at me? If you feel bored, just read a book,” in the cabin, Lin Mengya said.

She became increasingly uncommunicative, which made Qinghu a little uneasy.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya acted normally, and her condition even seemed to be worsening at a slower speed. He was laden with uneasiness.

“It’s alright. We’ll get ashore in three days. After passing through three prefectures of Dajin, we’ll arrive at the port of the Nation of Dongxia by water in a month or so,” Qinghu said.

Given Lin Mengya’s health condition, they had been hurrying on with their journey.

Seeing that Qinghu almost failed to suppress the uneasiness in his eyes, Lin Mengya suddenly smiled, put down the book in her hand and stared at Qinghu with her clear eyes.

“Don’t be afraid. I can make it.” She did not know if she was trying to comfort Qinghu or encourage herself.

No one knew how much worry and fear was hidden beneath her composed expression.

Qinghu took a deep look at Lin Mengya, wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. After giving her some instructions, he turned around and left the cabin.

Lin Mengya leaned against the headboard, closed her eyes and rested her mind quietly.

The sunlight shone through the window onto her face. She looked peaceful and delicate while terrifyingly fragile.

“Commander, we have gotten things done. Please rest assured,” his subordinate whispered in his ear.

Meanwhile, Qinghu seemed to be reluctant to look away from Lin Mengya even for a moment.

“I got it. You may leave,” he said and closed his eyes, seeming to have made an important decision. But then he opened his eyes again with inexplicable emotions.

This time he must keep Lin Mengya alive at all costs.

They disembarked and were going to travel by carriage.

But when she saw the luxurious carriage drawn by four horses in front of her, she couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

There was no very strict rule about this in Dajin.

However, even if she thought about it with her toes, she knew that civilians were definitely unqualified to take a carriage drawn by four horses.

Even those rich and powerful families in the Capital City could take a carriage drawn by three horses at most only if they were related to the royal family.

But now, this guy
