Chapter 729: Reveal the Information on Purpose

Chapter 729 Reveal the Information on Purpose

After finishing speaking, that old man revealed a dispirited expression.

Anyone, who had been waiting for his doom in despair, would become passive.

The old man told them all the strange things, that had happened in the town, without holding anything back.

After venting his frustration, the old man stood up with a wry smile and left the inn.

Qinghu turned around to exchange looks with Lin Mengya, only to find that she had just averted her eyes from the old man.

“Let’s go back to the room,” he said.

He, who had a tacit understanding with Lin Mengya, certainly realized that she must have some doubts.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fixed her eyes on an insignificant person.

Moreover, after hearing what the old man said, Qinghu could clearly feel that although the residents in this town looked just like those in other places, they were obviously oppressed.

Only now did they realize that the residents here felt helpless because of being stranded by a kind of invisible power.

In the inn, the rooms on both sides of their rooms were all occupied by their companions.

Even so, Qinghu closed the door after looking around carefully, and then felt relieved to talk with Lin Mengya.

“Don’t you think it strange? What the old man told us is not supposed to be a secret in this town, and the person sitting beside him a moment ago didn’t even want to listen to it. Why do you think he insisted on telling us the whole story, especially when you, an outsider, were there? He seemed to be intentional to tell us,” Lin Mengya said.

She could always detect the doubtful point calmly at the critical moment.

Her words reminded Qinghu of something.

He instinctively touched his upright chin and said with a frown, “That’s right. It seemed that he didn’t care who the listener was. Could it be that someone deliberately used him to reveal the information to us? This person is probably up to something!”

In fact, Qinghu had been no less sinister and vicious than any opponent they had confronted before.

Especially in this situation where the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, Qinghu felt like drawing out the rats hiding behind the scenes one by one and then slowly crushing them to death.

Therefore, the current situation piqued his interest.

“Don’t act rashly. Think about it, the old man mentioned the temple for the Mountain Deity repeatedly today. If I guess correctly, someone tried to lure us to the temple for the Mountain Deity,” Lin Mengya said.

She now kept an open attitude towards ghosts and gods.

After all, she had been carrying Master Yunfang’s relic, which had once saved her life, with her.

Nevertheless, she thought that if the Mountain Deity really existed, it should protect the people in this town. This was what people expected a god to do.

If the Mountain Deity killed people at will so that people had only fear and no respect for it, it was unqualified to be a god. What was more, the murderer was more likely to be a person.

“Shall we go or not?” Qinghu raised his eyebrows and asked.

He had always been inclined to smash this kind of conspiracy.

However, Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, and then shook her head gently and said, “If we don’t go, the enemy will predict that we may think of a way to turn his trick against him. We are definitely going to the temple for the Mountain Deity, but not now.”

She smelled the familiar scent of conspiracy. Sometimes, she really envied her father and brother for their being able to fight with the enemy directly on the battlefield.

To be honest, she, who had seen, heard and experienced too many of this kind of conspiracies hidden in the dark, had been tired of these now.

Moreover, she had an intuition that they were going to reach the bottom of all these strange things in this town soon.

It would not take long.

That night, Lin Mengya sat alone by the window, not knowing why Qinghu, who stayed by her side all the time, was absent at this moment.

She rubbed the part between her eyebrows, which was aching, and glanced helplessly at the man, who was sitting upright and reading a book on the art of war in the room.

Since she expressed her tiredness of seeing him around, Hou Yuetian had stayed away from her sensibly.

But after receiving the news of his two missing subordinates in the evening, Qinghu had to go to handle the matter personally.

As such, he had no other choice but to ask Hou Yuetian to come and protect her for the sake of her safety.

Lin Mengya had expressed her disagreement with Qinghu’s overprotection.

Unfortunately, Qinghu had rejected her request and left her alone with Hou Yuetian in the room, leaving no room for negotiation.

Actually, Hou Yuetian was not that annoying.

Because of Lin Mengya’s distaste for him, he didn’t even try to talk with her nor bring his guards with him. He just sat alone at her table and read a book on the art of war carefully.

These days, Lin Mengya could sense that Hou Yuetian was a real gentleman. Even now, he had been sitting in front of her in a dignified manner for two hours even without moving, let alone causing her trouble.

In this situation, she felt a little embarrassed.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything unusual?” Hou Yuetian, who seemed to have noticed that Miss Su was sizing him up openly, lifted his head from the book, glanced at her and inquired in a low voice.

“Nothing. The book you’re holding should be written by Wu Nanxun, the military god of the previous dynasty, right?” Lin Mengya asked.

Wu Nanxun was an extraordinary man, who not only could direct military operations with miraculous skill but also was a top-notch talent.

There were a total of six books on the art of war written by him and passed down to this day.

These books were said to be the result of all his wisdom and experience in his life.

Someone capable of figuring them out could inherit all of Wu Nanxun’s military talents.

This statement surpassed the fact a bit. Wu Nanxun was brilliant, because he had read a lot of books and came from a family of military officers for generations, which gave him extraordinary experience.

Based on all these above, he became a master in the art of war who left a good name for future generations.

It was impossible for people to learn his military skill by studying his six books on the art of war.

Nevertheless, Wu Nanxun was so proficient in the art of war that even her father and brother had been his diehard fans.

As their family member, she had also read a few of the six books.

The art of war was not that hard to understand, but she was really not interested in those changeful formations.

Fortunately, with the help of the Shen Nung system, she could even store what she could not understand in her brain.

In this case, she could apply what the books said when necessary, which could save her a lot of trouble.

“Exactly. It’s a book on formations written by the military god. I didn’t expect that you have also read it. I’m so ill-informed,” Hou Yuetian said.

Few ordinary ladies were literate. Even those, who had gone to a home school, could only read a few poems and songs at most.

Unexpectedly, Miss Su not only was proficient in medical skill, but also had dipped into the art of war, which astonished Hou Yuetian.

“I didn’t study it carefully, but I just appreciate Mr. Wu’s works. On one hand, as a lady, it’s inconvenient for me to go out, so reading this book can increase my knowledge. On the other hand, it’s more interesting to experience the customs and practices in various places than to read books on the art of war or formations,” Lin Mengya said.

This was true. She had read the book many times in the past.

Although it was decades ago, she still found it interesting now.

Moreover, there was a similar chapter in the music score for the green stringed instrument.

Therefore, she was not totally ignorant of the customs of different countries.

“You’re right, Miss. This book seems to be an amazing book, but in fact, it has lost its original significance and seems to be much less interesting than the book you mentioned,” Hou Yuetian put down the book in his hand and said.

Meanwhile, Lin Mengya looked at him with appreciation.

Plenty of people regarded this book as a classic. It was said that a commander obsessed with it directed a military operation completely in accordance with what it said a few years ago, and he ended up being defeated and killed.

Directing military operations was not as simple as it seemed to be.

Even using flexible and changeable tactics was not necessarily a guarantee of victory, not to mention directing a military operation in accordance with what a book said.

At this point, her father and brother were good examples.

The so-called military god just won more times than he lost.

“You, who reads a book on the art of war, must not be a common person. I’m really curious what attracted you to sneak into the Capital City regardless of danger,” Lin Mengya asked.

Not everyone liked to read books on the art of war.

Moreover, based on Hou Yuetian’s manners, Lin Mengya could tell that he must be a person of esteemed status.

Along the way, Hou Yuetian and his company had been very well behaved.

Not to mention inquiring about information along the way, even when Qinghu’s subordinates went out to make an enquiry, his company obediently followed them.

Lin Mengya knew that he was definitely not a foreign intending to inquire about Dajin’s information.

He kept following her closely, as if trying to avoid arousing suspicion.

He explained in a low voice after smiling bitterly at Lin Mengya, “Indeed, I’m not an ordinary person in the Nation of Dongxia. To be honest, I did this for my mother. Back then, my mother and I suffered a lot in order to fight against our enemies, and my mother was almost poisoned to death by our enemies in order to protect me. Although she survived, the poison is so tricky that we can only remove it completely with several rare medicinal materials. I’ve been all over the Nation of Dongxia seeking them, but I failed to find one of them. I heard that there are many precious medicinal herbs in the Imperial Palaces of Dajin and the Nation of Lintian. So I took the risk to sneak into Dajin to look for it. But I found nothing, and my mother’s condition has worsened a lot, so I intended to follow you back to the Nation of Dongxia as soon as possible.”
