Chapter 834 The City Lord's Brother-in-Law
In front of Yuwen Kun's guards, the old woman still had to put on an act, saying with a troubled expression, "Miss Lin, Lord Yuwen is not here, our master..."
"What, you're the ones who captured me? Are you worried I'll escape?"
Lin Yuesha, carrying the food box, said angrily, "Or are you saying that the gates of your Helian mansion are wide open, and no one will stop me from walking out?"
She had to meet with Xu Da to plan her next move.
“Miss Lin, you can deliver food, but someone from your household must accompany you.”
Only the old woman and her lecherous son took on this task, but the strong man was so sick with diarrhea that he was exhausted, and the old woman had other work to do.
She saw Qi Heng chopping wood in the corner and said, "Little stutterer, you take Miss Lin with you."
"I, I..."
Qi Heng quickly lowered his head, making a show of resistance.
"Go quickly and come back soon, I need to report to the master."
The old woman glared at the stutterer with disgust, wishing she could kick him. According to her son, he suffered from severe abdominal pain not long after drinking the soup the stutterer had made.
However, the old lady thought about it and realized that Little Stutterer had always been her son's son's son. He was timid and had no temper, so he wouldn't dare to put anything in the soup.
The broth was leftover from previous braised mutton. The old woman guessed that something might have been thrown into the kitchen when the men in black attempted the assassination, but she didn't notice.
"Then lead the way."
Lin Yuesha found it amusing. She didn't want to run into Qi Heng, but some people were determined to prevent her from having her wish and forced the two of them together.
Lin Yuesha recognized the guards of the dungeon; they were the very guards who were infatuated with Miaoyin.
Very good, they are our own people who can be used.
"Let me out! I need to confess my feelings to my cousin. I'm afraid I'll never have the chance again!"
Inside the dungeon, after Xu Da had eaten and drunk his fill, he began to harass the guards with sweet talk, making them irritable.
"Shut up! Your cousin is now Lord Yuwen's woman. You're just a prisoner of war. What chance do you have? If the people of Daqi don't come to exchange you, you can just wait to meet the King of Hell!"
The guards were busy splashing cold water, and when they saw Lin Yuesha suddenly arrive, they were stunned and stood there in shock.
Outsiders were unaware of the truth, but Helian Cheng's confidants were not kept in the dark; they believed that the person before them was Miaoyin.
"My lord sent me to ask Xu Da a few questions."
Lin Yuesha walked to the side of a guard and whispered.
The group exchanged glances and quickly understood Miaoyin's meaning: the master probably wanted to ask about some secret matters, and the fewer people who knew, the better.
Without asking any further questions, the guards swiftly withdrew, leaving only Xu Da, Lin Yuesha, and Qi Heng inside the dungeon.
"Hey bro, you look familiar."
Xu Da, clinging to the iron bars, saw Qi Heng's mask with the large mole and asked in confusion.
"Cousin, didn't you want to pour out your heart? Here I am."
Lin Yuesha carried the food box, and because the cell door was closed, she could only deliver the dishes one by one.
"Cousin, did you hear what I really wanted to say?"
Xu Da clutched his chest, heartbroken. He pointed at the food box and said, "So you've come to deliver my last meal?"
"Alright, that's enough of the act."
Didn't Xu Da notice the sudden chill that enveloped him? Qi Heng was preparing a powerful attack.
Lin Yuesha hurriedly stopped him, lest Xu Da blurt out something unintentional.
"cousin?"
One sentence immediately refreshed Xu Da; this was the style that belonged to Lin Yuesha.
"It's me. Come and eat your last meal before you're executed."
Lin Yuesha greeted Xu Da, assuring him that this time it wasn't an imposter, but the real one.
"Then he is..."
Lin Yuesha was uninhibited in front of Da Zhi, which led Xu Da to make a guess.
"Do you have enough toilet paper in the dungeon?"
Qi Heng stood behind Lin Yuesha and calmly said a few words.
Thinking of his past nightmares, Xu Da's face turned extremely ugly. The big mole was Qi Heng. Even if Qi Heng turned to ashes, he would still recognize him!
"Cousin, what's going on?"
Xu Da opened his hand, revealing a red stone in his palm. Lin Yuesha took it through the gap and put it in her purse.
While he was eating sour soup chicken giblet noodles, he learned that Lin Yuesha had arrived at Helian City's residence. Upon seeing the imposter, he was startled.
"I really thought you'd been exposed so quickly, but that imposter thought his disguise was flawless, but I still managed to find out."
As a foodie, to disregard ingredients is simply outrageous!
Not only that, he tried to test the counterfeiter with words, and the counterfeiter was smug and shameless.
“They can pass off fakes as real ones, but I can do the opposite and replace fakes with real ones.”
However, Lin Yuesha was unsure how long the exchange would last, and once she got what she wanted, she would immediately make a clean getaway.
"There are tunnels everywhere in Helian City's mansion. There is a secret passage here that leads to the main kitchen, but I don't know about it."
Only the old woman and the strong man knew about this secret passage. The two often brought food to her, but the mother and son were tight-lipped and would not easily reveal it.
If you try to get information out of someone, they'll easily see through your act; the servants in Helian's mansion are very vigilant.
"Cousin, the guards said you were with Yuwen Kun, could it be that you..."
Xu Da frowned, very worried about Lin Yuesha.
With Helian Cheng on one side and Yuwen Kun on the other, Lin Yuesha juggles between the two, constantly changing her identity. If she's not careful, she'll be exposed.
Xu Da didn't understand how Lin Yuesha could be allowed to put herself in danger with Qi Heng around.
"Originally, we didn't need to, but this is the best way to rescue you."
Save her with minimal effort, without alerting the enemy. Besides, Lin Yuesha is right; he can't always stand in front of her to shield her from the wind and rain.
"We will leave Jinyuguan within a week at the latest."
After Qi Heng finished speaking, he stepped back, giving Lin Yuesha and Xu Da some space.
This gesture warmed Lin Yuesha's heart. For the first time, she felt like she was fighting alongside Qi Heng, and they trusted each other completely.
"Cousin, you've suffered."
Xu Da's clothes were tattered and stained with blood, but he always had a smile on his face and didn't care about his injuries.
“A real man, what’s a little injury? You’re not a woman who’s afraid of scarring.”
Xu Da waved his hand dismissively and asked, "How is so-and-so doing?"
"Who?"
Lin Yuesha pretended not to understand.
"Slug, she got arrested too?"
Xu Da said awkwardly, "Once Wuya is captured, Lord Wu might make a different decision."
"She's fine, don't worry."
It seems that Xu Da is not completely indifferent to Wuya; there is much he can do with her.
After exchanging a few words, Lin Yuesha and Qi Heng left. Just as they stepped out of the courtyard, they ran into Yuwen Kun returning to his residence.
Upon returning and not finding Lin Yuesha, Yuwen Kun rushed to look for her.
I went to see my cousin.
Lin Yuesha sighed sadly, looked at Yuwen Kun, and suddenly had another idea.
"You promised to make me the city lord's wife in the future. He's the city lord's brother-in-law, so can you rescue him?"
Lin Yuesha's cautious pleading with Yuwen Kun lowered his guard a little more.
If it were an imposter sent by Helian Cheng, he would never have made this request.
