Chapter 707 The Envoy for a Peace Talk

The carriage went straight out of the city gate to an inconspicuous village on the edge of the Capital City almost without being noticed.

Since Gou An visited the Lin’s Mansion last time, Lin Mengya had sent him a lot of healing medicine successively through Qinghu.

With the help of her, an experienced physician, as well as her abundant supply of medicine, which could compare with that of the Imperial Hospital, the heir of Commandery Prince Lian of the Nan’an State would be cured sooner or later.

As she expected, last night Gou An sent someone to tell her that his Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice had come round.

Lin Mengya could not wait to come here with Qinghu.

Recently, everyone’s attention had been attracted by the Shangguan Family, so no one would pay attention to her brother, who was detained in the prison of the government office.

Therefore, this was the best time to rescue her brother.

However, she had yet to figure out how to use the heir of Commandery Prince Lian of the Nan’an State to clear her brother’s name.

Anyway, she couldn’t bring him directly to the Emperor for a confrontation with her brother.

At present, the two countries were at war. The Emperor would definitely kill him provocatively.

Whether a pawn could play its role depended on where it was placed.

The carriage stopped in front of an ordinary courtyard. Qinghu got out of the carriage first and checked around carefully. Then, he motioned for Lin Mengya to get out of the carriage.

She poked her head out of the carriage and heard a burst of hearty laughter from the courtyard before she could get out.

She froze for a moment, thinking it seemed that Gou An, who was a straightforward man, was cheered up by his Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice’s improved condition.

Otherwise, his laughter would not be so unrestrained and ostentatious that it could even go out through the roof.

Lin Mengya pushed open the wooden door with her while hands, puckered in a gentle and polite smile on her charming face and asked, “What made Brother Gou An so joyful? If you don’t mind, I would like to hear it. What do you say?”

Hearing her voice, the two people, who were sitting by a table in the thatched cottage, turned around in succession.

Gou An came out in pleasant surprise with a rare look of relief on his smiling face.

Lin Mengya knew at a glance that he felt relieved after putting his burden down. It seemed that his Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice had reassured him like timely rain.

“Why are you here? Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice, this is Sister Lin, whom Second Senior Fellow Apprentice often mentioned to us. Nevertheless, she has changed a lot,” Gou An said.

Of course, he referred to Lin Mengya’s change from a pitiful imbecile to a clever girl.

Lin Mengya naturally looked into the room as Gou An did.

At the sight of a thin figure sitting by the dark square table, Lin Mengya slightly raised her eyebrows.

“It turns out to be Sister Lin. How do you do? You live up to your reputation. I’m Mao Yuze. Thank you for your help,” Mao Yuze said in a slightly hoarse voice, probably because he had just regained consciousness.

Different from her brother and Gou An, Mao Yuze had cleanly chiseled features with a steady and reserved air despite his rugged look.

If it weren’t for his face, which was too pale, he definitely would have impressed Lin Mengya in the way her father did.

He had less the air of a childe, who feigned a steady look, than of a man, who had hardened himself on the battlefield.

He would definitely be the invincible Ares on the battlefield.

Lin Mengya could not help feeling a sense of respect for him despite his identity as a general of the enemy state.

She nodded slightly and greeted him politely, “Brother Mao, I’m flattered. Since you’re here for saving my brother, I should help you.”

Different from Gou An, who was as unworldly as a wild crane, Mao Yuze was the heir of Commandery Prince Lian of the Nan’an State, who was able to fight with her father and brother on the battlefield.

As such, Lin Mengya was still wary of him.

Despite knowing that he was here for saving her brother, she had to be cautious.

“Alas, I caused the problem. If it were not for the fact that I didn’t keep my token properly, my Second Junior Fellow Apprentice would not have met with such a calamity. I have to explain this to him face to face,” Mao Yuze, who was meticulous despite his rugged look, said slowly after sighing gloomily.

In fact, she only believed half of his words. However, she didn’t show any doubt on her face and sat down in the parlor with Gou An after nodding slightly.

“Sister Lin, in fact, my Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice is not merely come here to solve our problem. He’ll tell you about it himself,” Gou An said with a tremendously excited smile.

At the sight of this, Lin Mengya realized something, turned around, and glanced at Mao Yuze with a milder smile.

Mao Yuze could not help looking away when he saw her snow-white face.

Although he could fight with various enemies on the battlefield, this was the first time he had met such a beautiful woman’s eyes.

He explained in a deep voice with his face softening, “To tell you the truth, apart from proving my Second Junior Fellow Apprentice’s innocence, I’ve brought a peace treaty on behalf of my king.”

A peace treaty? Lin Mengya was stunned, as she had never heard Gou An mention it.

“The two of our states have been at war over the years, which has not only caused losses to both of our troops but also made life impossible for the civilians on the border between our states. My king feels sorry about this, so he sent me to bring a peace treaty, hoping that we can make peace with each other and stop fighting with each other. But I was hunted by some mysterious people as soon as I arrived at Dajin. Fortunately, my Third Junior Fellow Apprentice and the others helped me, otherwise, there will probably be a conflict between our states because of me,” Mao Yuze said with a frown, seeming to have fallen into endless trouble because of this.

Lin Mengya gently let out a breath. It was not until now that she realized the importance of Mao Yuze’s visit to Dajin.

As the envoy for a peace talk, Mao Yuze’s visit was not only related to her brother’s being acquitted, but also a good thing for the entire Dajin.

It was no wonder that some people tried to hunt him.

This kind of thing, that benefited the country and the people, would definitely go against the interests of some venal people.

Mao Yuze probably had expected this before coming here.

All of a sudden, Lin Mengya felt profound respect for him and became much less suspicious of him.

Meanwhile, she realized why she was treated like that in Gou An’s courtyard.

If someone slandered her father and brother in that way, she would presumably talk back more harshly.

She immediately stood up and solemnly bowed to Mao Yuze.

Mao Yuze got up in a panic, but Gou An pressed him down in his chair with a smile.

He said, “You... you can’t do that!”

Lin Mengya sat down again, narrowed her eyes with a mild smile and said to Brother Mao of whom she had a favorable impression, “Brother Mao, the people of our two states are lucky to have you doing this for them at the risk of your life. Rest assured. I’ll find an opportunity to enable you to take a peace talk with the Emperor of Dajin. Since we’re a family, I’ll make it clear. Brother Gou presumably has told you my identity. My husband is Prince Yu of Dajin as well as the third son of the current Emperor. So you can count on me to arrange a peace talk between you and the Emperor of Dajin.”

Hearing that Lin Mengya promised to help, Mao Yuze and Gou An seemed to be relieved.

They had been hunted and could only recuperate in this small courtyard temporarily.

What was more, even if they managed to enter the Capital City by luck after recovering, they might not have the chance to meet the Emperor of Dajin.

After all, it was impossible for Mao Yuze to shout in front of the gate of the Imperial Palace that he was a general from the enemy country.

If he did this, he would definitely be arrested as an assassin.

It was naturally a good thing if Lin Mengya could arrange a meeting for him.

However, neither of them knew that this seemingly sweet Sister Lin was the one who made a good bargain this time.

After coming out of the place, where Gou An and the others hid, Lin Mengya even hummed a tune cheerfully on the way home.

Along the way, her mild smile made Qinghu’s hair stand on end. In the end, he would rather run outside than stay in the carriage and watch her act abnormally.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya, who was in a good mood, did not make things difficult for Qinghu at all.

As he ran, she clenched her fists and cheered him on in the carriage.

Qinghu, who was frightened by her cheering, consciously slowed down so that he could follow the carriage at a distance of about a hundred meters. At least, without hearing Lin Mengya’s cheesy cheering, he no longer felt his legs went weak.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, thinking what was wrong with her.

“Tsk, you have no taste. My voice is so sweet, isn’t it?” Glancing at the stubborn guy, who followed the carriage in a distance and refused to get back to the carriage, Lin Mengya said with contempt for Qinghu’s taste.

She flipped through the peace treaty Mao Yuze had risked his life to protect, involuntarily showing a smile.

She did not expect the problem, which had been a serious headache on her way there, would be solved so easily.

Moreover, if she entrusted this task to Long Tianyu, it would be his great contribution. In this way, their difficult situation could be tackled.

After all, if Dajin and the Nan’an State stopped fighting with each other, the border between the two countries could enjoy long-term peace and stability and the people could live and work in peace.

The most important thing was that the Emperor no longer needed to choose someone as her father’s successor.

In this case, the Shangguan Family’s plan would come to naught, and the Emperor would no longer have to worry about whether the Shangguan Family could control his army or not.

At the same time, the Shangguan Family would lose the opportunity to control the military power of Dajin. She wondered where they would end up when the time came.

No one would be dissatisfied with such a good thing.
