“How can we go over there? I just wanted to give it a try just now, but was almost blown away. If the three of us go together, we will inevitably have an accident.”
The abyss beneath their feet made Lin Mengya have to treat it with caution.
She squatted by the stone road, frowned and asked.
“We’ll tie ourselves together with a rope later, and then go over there with our horses. This Immortal Road is very strange. If only one person walks on it, the wind will be stronger. On the contrary, if more people and more horses walk on it, they will be safe and sound.”
Qiu Yu was prepared for it. He took a bundle of thick rope from his horse.
Lin Mengya pondered over what Qiu Yu said. She seemed to think of something, but failed to catch it, so she could only shook her head regretfully.
“Walk in the middle later, and the two of us will protect you.”
Long Tianyu, who had barely talked, whispered.
Lin Mengya nodded. She just wanted to interrogate Long Tianyu for the purpose of his pretending to accept Sumei.
But obviously now it was not a good time to talk about it.
“Each of us is going to walk behind a horse. Don’t panic. If only the three of us go together, we shouldn’t fall down. Besides, it’s not a tough road. Be careful, and it should be no problem.”
Qiu Yu solemnly told the two of them. After that, he tied the waists of all three of them with a rope.
Meanwhile, the three horses seemed to know what they were going to do. They lined up one after another.
“Let’s go.”
After exchanging glances with Long Tianyu, Qiu Yu said lightly.
Both of them became nervous at the same time. Although this Immortal Road was not narrow, the strong wind beside could kill them.
Long Tianyu’s horse first set foot on the stone road, followed by Long Tianyu. Lin Mengya involuntarily strained the rope, but the wind didn’t make her walk unsteadily as she expected.
Long Tianyu looked around and made sure that there was no danger before nodding at Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu.
With their hearts in their mouths, the two of them also stepped on the Immortal Road behind their respective horses.
Gee? After stepping on the bridge, Lin Mengya looked around.
It was so weird. When she first stepped on the bridge, she found it very difficult to stand on it, let alone walk on it.
However, when she stepped on it with her horse, there was no wind.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, and suddenly exerted herself to put up a hand.
Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu both glanced at her and had no idea what trick the girl was playing.
It was as she expected!
Lin Mengya suddenly realized something, looked at her little hand and smiled.
However, she didn’t intend to tell them about it.
In fact, she could certainly understand it easily. But if she told others about the discovery, the Nation of Lintian would lose the natural barrier.
Perhaps the security of the Nation of Lintian couldn’t be guaranteed at that time. If wars broke out there, she would be a sinner.
Walking over step by step, Long Tianyu was a few steps away from the opposite bank.
Suddenly, over then dark figures appeared on the opposite side of the stone road.
Long Tianyu frowned and didn’t dare to be careless. What should come finally came!
“Who are you?”
Long Tianyu shouted coldly. The long sword out of the sheath and his tightened arms indicated that he had got ready for fighting.
Misfortunes never came alone. Qiu Yu also found the same black-clad men behind him.
They had enemies in front and rear at the same time.
It turned out that these black-clad men were waiting for them here.
“Kill them!”
Without saying anything, the black-clad men took out their crossbows and shot at the three people in the middle.
Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu swayed their swords and could barely protect Lin Mengya from being injured.
Soon both their horses became the targets. They neighed in great pain, but did not fall.
Lin Mengya was extremely anxious, but she was incapable of martial arts and became a burden.
“Protect Mengya, and I’m in charge of breaking through! Let’s break out!”
It was too dangerous on the Immortal Road, which greatly restricted their martial arts.
They would rather break out than stay here and shot to death!
Long Tianyu swayed his long sword to make an impenetrable wall, moving towards the cliff inch by inch. Unexpectedly, numerous people came to reinforce the black-clad men, and forced them back to the original place inch by inch.
Lin Mengya was tremendously anxious. If the situation continued like this, the two of them must be killed here.
She gnashed her teeth and shouted suddenly.
“Stop it! Do you know who they are? If you don’t want to cause the war between the two countries, I advise you to stop now. Moreover, no matter who your boss is, if the two of them die, your boss will definitely lose more than gain!”
The arrows stopped suddenly. Lin Mengya just gave it a try.
She was not afraid that they had a purpose. If they just intended to kill the three of them, they were doomed.
Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu watched the enemies in front and rear vigilantly, and the three horses stood still and did not fall down.
Lin Mengya was upset at the moment, but the more important thing was how to solve the dilemma in front.
“It’s said that Princess Yu is alert and clever. Our meeting today proves that you deserve your reputation. It really requires half the effort to talk to a smart person.”
The black-clad men in front of Long Tianyu suddenly split into two parts and made a road between them. After that, a figure with a devil mask walked up to them.
“What do you want? You might say it.”
Lin Mengya was a little uneasy. They were obviously in a disadvantageous position at the moment.
Moreover, the horses were dying. As soon as the horses fell, they were doomed.
However, the man with a devil mask was unhurried and was obviously sure that they were under his control.
“It’s simple. Princess Yu, you just need to offer one thing.”
One thing? Lin Mengya frowned and thought that she had brought nothing but a few packets of poison.
“What is it? Say it, and I can think over.”
Lin Mengya tried to ease her tone, because she couldn’t expose her nervousness to those people.
Otherwise, those people would ask for more.
“You definitely have what I want. I want music score for green stringed instrument!”
What?
Lin Mengya did not expect that they turned out to aim at music score for green stringed instrument.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man. She had never told anyone that she had music score for green stringed instrument.
Why was the man so sure that she had brought music score for green stringed instrument with her?
“What is music score for green stringed instrument? I’ve no idea. Besides, even the prince knows that I’m incapable of playing zheng. Have you confused me with someone else?”
Lin Mengya decided to play dumb. After thinking back, she realized that she had actually shown no flaws.
As a disciple of Saint of Poison by direct line, her skills in detoxification were naturally unparalleled around the world.
So she could insist that she didn’t have it.
“Princess Yu, you are so good at joking. The music score for green stringed instrument is not a so-called musical score, but a medical book in fact. It’s said that the last owner of it is Zuo Shuqing, the disciple of a highly-skilled doctor.”
Lin Mengya felt her heart sank, because Zuo Shuqing was her mother’s name!
It seemed that this group of black-clad men came prepared.
“Zuo Shuqing is indeed my mother, but she died when I was born. You ask me for it now. How could I have it?”
After pondering it for a while, Lin Mengya replied.
Unexpectedly, the man laughed gruffly.
“Hahaha… Princess Yu, you are so good at joking. If you just don’t appreciate my kindness, I have to offend you. Come on, take action.”
The man seemed to be sure that Lin Mengya could never find a way to break out.
At a word from him, the gangs in front and rear took out claw hooks.
They skillfully hooked the freezing horses and pulled the horses from both sides, and the two horses suddenly fell down.
“Come, come to me!”
Among the three horses, only Lin Mengya’s horse was left.
The wind blew violently. If it weren’t for Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu’s agility, they would have been blown down into the abyss now.
“Humph, Princess Yu, if you hand it in now, we can save you. But if you keep refusing to hand it in, you will have no chance at all.”
The wind made the man’s voice a little indistinct.
The three of them and a horse were trapped in the middle and could not move at all.
Lin Mengya hardened her heart. In any case, the three of them could not be killed here at the same time.
“You must desperately want to get the music score for green stringed instrument, right? Well, I can offer it. But I tell you, the music score for green stringed instrument has been ruined. The only person knowing about it around the world is me. If I die, you will never get it. If you don’t care about it, I’ll jump into this abyss instantly!”
Lin Mengya immediately untied the rope around her waist and pretended that she was about to jump onto the Immortal Road.
“No! Don’t do that! We can negotiate!”
They did not expect that Lin Mengya turned out to be such a tough person.
Moreover, they heard that Lin Mengya was extremely cruel and merciless. When dealing with such a person, they were most afraid to make her burn her boat.
In desperation, Ghost Face had to promise her temporarily.
“Let the two of them go over, and then I’ll go over.at last. Don’t think of playing any tricks. I’m not afraid of death!”
Unexpectedly, she threatened them at once.
Lin Mengya was cheerful. God knew that she held the rope firmly with her back covered with cold sweat.
Nevertheless, she didn’t lose her mind at this moment.
If her music score for green stringed instrument was not indispensable, they would not spend so much effort.
The more they cared about it, the more likely she was to survive.
“Okay, no problem! Come on, shoot the rope!”
Watching her standing on the edge of the Immortal Road, Ghost Face panicked a little.
He looked calm. Nevertheless, his master had given a hard order. If they failed to get the music score for green stringed instrument, they should be decapitated.
Moreover, it was a little more dangerous than he expected on this Immortal Road.
If Lin Mengya had an accident, they would be in trouble.
The rope as thick as the rim of a bowl was shot at the foot of Long Tianyu by a crossbow. Long Tianyu did not pick it up immediately, but turned around and looked at Lin Mengya.
