Chapter 959 Breakthrough
Xu Da immediately shook his head and said with certainty, "Wu Ya was willing to risk her life for me to go to Jinyu Pass to save people, so she won't easily break off the engagement."
The implication is that Wuya is completely devoted to him, and Lin Yuesha's claim of infidelity is unfounded.
"Cousin, are you confident in coming here?"
Lin Yuesha couldn't help but retort, believing that Xu Da's thinking was problematic.
Just because Uya is so devoted, does that mean you can take her for granted? Running away without saying goodbye shows a lack of responsibility.
Men in the Great Qi were generally like this, extremely chauvinistic. Xu Da was a decent person, but he was no exception in this matter.
Last time, Xu Da had already been taught a lesson by Madam Xu, but it seems that the lesson had little effect.
"It's not that I'm confident, it's that Uya..."
Uya's treatment of him was plain for all to see. Xu Da was about to defend himself when Lin Yuesha stopped him, saying she didn't want to hear it.
Because we take things for granted just because they're easy to obtain, we don't cherish them. Bai Ying is a cautionary tale.
Now that Hearts is dead, it's too late to say anything.
Is it possible that Uya might change her mind?
Xu Da was stunned. The two were already engaged, and he didn't want to be cuckolded.
"It's hard to say. Who hasn't been blind at some point when they were young?"
Lin Yuesha snorted twice, clearly disgusted by Xu Da's actions.
Xu Da: ...He just didn't want to get married too early, so he came to the north to make a name for himself. He was wrong.
Besides, if he rises to a high position in the future, Uya can live a better life if she marries him.
"So, everything you think is just what you think."
Lin Yuesha was too lazy to argue with Xu Da and let him figure it out himself.
The two were engaged, so they were at least family. Xu Da went to Yingcheng without a word and made his recklessness sound righteous and awe-inspiring, which was too selfish.
"Lin is right, you should reflect on your actions."
Lin Yuesha kicked Xu Da first, and Luo Wang immediately followed up with another blow, leaving Xu Da alone to ponder.
If you put yourself in his shoes, he does seem to be acting unfairly.
Xu Da wanted to write a letter to explain, but he was too embarrassed to do so.
"Is your reputation more important or your life?"
Lin Yuesha observed for a while and noticed that Xu Da showed signs of remorse. She said with a hint of relief, "You ran away without a word. If Aunt Xu finds out, will you still be able to keep your leg?"
Xu Dase shrank back and pleaded, "Cousin, we're family. I know I was wrong. If my mother blames me, you have to help me make amends."
"Now that you're here, it's not good to go back right away. If you want my help, you'll have to see if you're of any value."
Lin Yuesha decided that since her cousin had come to her doorstep, she would take advantage of him if she could.
She and Bai Ying planned to assassinate the Prince of Zhenbei, and finally got help.
"You guys?"
The King of Luo was shocked. Their men had attacked more than once, and even with meticulous planning, they had always failed.
The Prince of Zhenbei is surrounded by many experts. He is a meticulous and cautious man. This time, he brought at least tens of thousands of people with him from the prefectural city to Yingcheng.
"So what?"
Lin Yuesha gritted her teeth, feeling a pang of pain in her heart as she thought of Hongtao's choice to die.
Qi Heng is alone in the north. If they can kill the Prince of Zhenbei, it will be advantageous for them.
If such a scumbag lives another day, an innocent girl will die tragically at his hands.
"In order to curry favor with the Prince of Zhenbei, the Wei family captured beautiful young girls from several surrounding cities and locked them all in a cellar, waiting for the Prince of Zhenbei to choose them."
Even Zhao Jingya's maid, Yan'er, could not escape this fate and died tragically at the hands of the Prince of Zhenbei.
On the island, Lin Yuesha couldn't sleep soundly day or night, and with no news of Qi Heng, a heavy weight was always on her mind.
Obstacles lie ahead, and someone has to overcome them.
"Cousin, perhaps I have a way."
Xu Da stepped forward and tried to ingratiate himself with Di Dao.
"What method?"
Lin Yuesha raised an eyebrow, suspecting that Xu Da was trying to fool her.
"Oh dear, we rushed all the way to Yingcheng, came to a fishing village, and went straight to the island. We haven't eaten a single grain of rice all day."
Xu Da touched his emaciated belly; he had no strength at all if he didn't eat his fill.
Xu Da hadn't had his cousin's cooking in a long time. Traveling meant only dry, hard flatbreads, and he swallowed hard as he looked at the baskets of seafood.
"Alright, you'd better stop trying to freeload. Eat your fill and then figure out a solution."
Lin Yuesha glanced at the sky; it was already evening, and it was getting dark. They would probably have to spend the night on the island.
After Bai Ying betrayed them, Yuwen Kun and Li Ruoshuang escaped. The Wei family blocked the fishing village for two days before finally getting rid of them.
Today's supply of fresh meat was replenished. Lin Yuesha skewered octopus, shrimp, crab, oysters, and other seafood on bamboo skewers, preparing to grill them. Zhang Daya joined in to help, and in no time, everything was ready.
A small table was set up by the sea, and charcoal was lit.
As the evening glow filled the sky, Luo Wang sipped his tea, glancing at the grill every now and then.
Lin Yuesha held a skewer of meat in her hand, turning it over and over. The fat sizzled and dripped oil, turning golden brown and filling the air with aroma.
Xu Da took a sip of tea, but his mind was already on the barbecue skewers.
"Don't rush to eat. You need to come up with a plan later."
The Prince of Luo put down his teacup and waved his hand in front of Xu Da's eyes, trying to attract Xu Da's attention.
"What charter?"
For someone with an empty stomach, having delicious food right in front of them but being unable to eat it is like being tortured.
Xu Da was only thinking about filling his stomach; as for how to assassinate the Prince of Zhenbei, he couldn't think of a good idea for the time being.
He needed to eat his fill before he could think clearly; perhaps after eating, his inspiration would suddenly strike.
"I do have an idea."
Prince Luo beckoned Xu Da closer and whispered in his ear, "Prince Zhenbei, Xiao Su, has a hobby: he enjoys abusing young girls who haven't reached marriageable age. In the past, every few days, straw mats would be carried out from the side gate of Prince Zhenbei's mansion in the prefectural city..."
"I know that, it's absolutely outrageous."
Xu Da shook his head and sighed. Such a scoundrel, yet he held a high position and wielded great power, commanding an army of 200,000. Prefects and magistrates were too busy currying favor with him to dare to oppose him.
"Don't you think this is a potential breakthrough?"
Even though the Prince of Luo had made his point so clear, Xu Da still hadn't grasped it and kept sighing.
"What breakthrough point?"
After a long pause, Xu Da finally realized what was happening, and then pointed at the Prince of Luo hesitantly, saying, "You mean, we should start from this angle..."
"yes."
Luo Wang nodded. They had sent out men before, but not only did they lose men, they also returned empty-handed.
Therefore, since sending assassins to kill them was not an option, they had to find another way.
"I understand."
Xu Da took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Yuesha who was still busy grilling meat skewers, and felt a little sympathy. The Prince of Luo had come up with a bad idea, wanting to use his cousin as cannon fodder to charge ahead.
"This is not good. What if Qi Heng finds out..."
If Qi Heng's wife is sent to that hellhole, Qi Heng will surely fight them to the death if he finds out!
The Prince of Luo was, after all, Qi Heng's nominal uncle. Considering this relationship, it wouldn't be a problem for him to be given a complete body. But it was hard to say for Qi Heng. Xu Da shook his head vigorously because of this. He disagreed!
