Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 983 - A Trap to Kill in the Way

Chapter 983 A Trap to Kill in the Way

Xia Bin’s eyes kept flickering, and his feminine face was covered with filaments of cracks.

He had seen with his own eyes that Lin Mengya had eaten a mouthful of porridge, but how could she be safe and sound?

Lin Mengya’s lips curled into a sneer.

She loosened her grip, and the porridge bowl fell to the ground.

Lin Mengya clapped her hands, with a pitiful look in her eyes, She thought, “It seems that the information Xia Bin got from the person behind the scenes was not that accurate.

“Although the person knows about the past grievances between Qinghu and Chief Xia, he or she is not so well-informed about me.

“It seemed that the person who leaked the news is not someone by my side”.

One piece of information after another flashed through Lin Mengya’s mind in an instant. However, the first thing she needed to do was to deal with the ashen-faced Chief Xia in front of her properly.

“You… Well, you’re great!”

Xia Bin knew that the arsenic was highly toxic with no antidote to it. However, he did not know Lin Mengya’s blood was more poisonous than any other poison in the world.

He thought that Lin Mengya had played some tricks and found it out in advance.

Seeing his plan fail, Xia Bin had to give up, and he was about to leave.

In contrast, Lin Mengya was sitting calmly in her seat. She seemed to have seen through his thought at once.

“The person behind you should have wanted to kill me, right? You keep me alive just because you want to get more money. Of course, you can plot to kill my people. However, if they lose even a single hair, I promise that you won’t get a single cent.”

Xia Bin was so angry that he laughed. He turned around with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

“Hmph, all of you are now under my control. Hall Master Lin, you’d better be aware of your situation!”

Xia Bin waved his hand. Then the dozens of archers rushed into the front hall from outside and pointed their sharp arrows at Lin Mengya and the others.

Xia Bin seemed to be more lacking in patience than she had imagined.

“Xia Bin! Do you want to die?”

Qinghu had taken Xia Bin as an eye-sore for a long time, and similarly, Xia Bin also wanted to kill his old enemy, Qinghu.

“Now, you’re the ones who want to die!”

It was quite tense, and even Lin Mengya frowned slightly.

However, after glancing at the dozens of people, she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

“Hold on! Chief Xia, you are doing this just after money. If I can help you earn more, you let go of my men. Okay?”

Lin Mengya looked as calm as usual, with no anxiety revealed on her face.

Xia Bin looked at Lin Mengya in front of him, with a moody expression. He pursed his lips but did not say a word.

“Besides, you have plenty of ways to deal with us. In case, these bows and arrows accidentally injure your men, your loss will outweigh the gain.”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and slowed down her speaking speed.

Xia Bin was smart, and he immediately understood the alternate meaning behind what she said. Xia Bin frowned slightly and glanced at the dozens of people with bows and arrows quietly.

He knew that Lin Mengya might be deliberately sowing discord. However, they were not his men after all.

“Well, you guys can leave now,” Xia Bin said to one of the archers.

However, the dozens of people had no reaction as if they didn’t hear him. They just pulled the bows to the fullest and aimed at Lin Mengya and the others.

“Zhao Guangda, I told you to leave now!”

Xia Bin laid stress on his words, and he winked at his trusted aide.

His trusted aide immediately pulled out a small and sharp dagger and secretly placed it on the waist of the person named Zhao Guangda.

“We will.”

Zhao Guangda had a tough and shrewd appearance. Even though he was being treated like this, he did not reveal obvious displeasure on his face.

After looking at Xia Bin, he led his men out of the front hall.

Being humiliated on the spot, Xia Bin felt his anger welling up in his heart.

Lin Mengya and Qinghu just nodded at Xia Bin cautiously. They did not dare to say anything else to provoke him again.

Watching Xia Bin leave the front hall with his men, Lin Mengya and Qinghu gradually felt relief.

As for the more than 20 people around, they all knew that they had just been so close to dying. However, they could not reveal any sign of cowardice in the bandit’s territory.

Each of them seemed to have been fished out of the water, with their backs covered in a cold sweat.

“Only this porridge is poisonous, and other food has no problem. Eat some, lest you will be out of strength.”

After giving the order and watching the more than 20 people, each of whom only had a little food cautiously, Lin Mengya slumped in her seat and silently communicated with Qinghu with her eyes.

It seemed that she was right. That group of people led by Zhao Guangda stayed not only to kill her but also to destroy the evidence.

It should have been quiet in the middle of the night, but there was a quarrel sounding in the distance.

Qinghu arranged for a few people to take turns being on guard, and the rest gathered together and went to sleep for the time being.

Lin Mengya was lying in the innermost part of the room. She knew that it would be a tough night, but she could not appear panicked. Otherwise, what the others would do?

So she closed her eyes. But her brain was still spinning.

Just then, her hand was gently grabbed. Lin Mengya knew it was Qinghu.

Feeling that Qinghu wrote the name “Tiancheng” in her palm, Lin Mengya backhanded and shook Qinghu’s hand gently.

Indeed, it was the best way of learning about the past between Qinghu and Xia Bin through the Candle Dragon Cult.

Moreover, abandoning them right after making use of them was also in line with Princess Tiancheng’s usual style of doing things.

It seemed that Tiancheng had lost her mind because of the failure, and she was determined to kill Lin Mengya to vent her anger.

...

If that were the case, it would be much easier to deal with.

Lin Mengya didn’t know when the other four chiefs of mountain bandits would send their men over. If they were smart enough, they should come as soon as possible.

Xia Bin was moody. He let Lin Mengya and the others go for the time being today because the archers did not follow his orders, which drove him crazy.

Xia Bin would not only be on guard against those people, but he would also keep an eye on the supervision of Lin Mengya’s team.

He probably wouldn’t feel any better either.

No one knew how many conspiracies and plots were hidden in this dark night.

It was a little out of Lin Mengya’s expectations. Xia Bin had a disagreement with those people led by Zhao Guangda, but they settled it in a surprisingly short time.

Overnight, they united to deal with their common enemy, Lin Mengya and others.

Xia Bin looked at Lin Mengya and her people with a malicious gaze, but he was no longer as exasperated as he was yesterday.

Either he had come up with a good idea to deal with Lin Mengya, or he was satisfied with the reward that the other party had promised.

“Hall Master Lin, did you sleep well last night?”

...

Lin Mengya did not bother to pretend to have small talk with Xia Bin. Anyway, there was no possibility of peaceful coexistence between them.

Xia Bin was in a good mood today, so he did not get angry at Lin Mengya’s slight. However, he fixed his eyes on Qinghu as if he would not be satisfied until Qinghu was cut into pieces.

“Originally, I hoped to keep you here as guests for a few more days. Unfortunately, my Fort Naratha is too small to hold your big shots. Since you have rested well, please go down the mountain today.”

Was he going to let them go?

Both Lin Mengya and Qinghu had an intuition that Xia Bin was probably up to no good.

“Thank you very much, Chief Xia. Then we won’t disturb you any longer. Take care.”

Of course, Lin Mengya did not believe that Xia Bin would let her go so easily. However, what surprised her even more was that Xia Bin actually left the front hall with his men.

“I’ll go outside to check out. You guys stay here for the moment.”

Qinghu instructed with a serious look on his face, and then he disappeared outside the door.

After a while, he returned with a strange expression.

“There really are no ambushes outside. Let’s go now.”

Lin Mengya nodded. Her doubts were not less than Qinghu’s.

The group of people surrounded her tightly and left Fort Naratha quickly and heavily guardedly. It was even stranger that even their carriage and luggage were placed at the entrance of Fort Naratha.

And Xia Bin had a carefree look on his face. He even smiled at Lin Mengya, but his smile was cold and creepy.

“Are there any of our people helping outside?”

Lin Mengya lowered her head and asked while the others were packing up.

Qinghu immediately replied in a low voice, “There are about a hundred people outside.”

Looking at Xia Bin again, Lin Mengya only felt her heart beating fast and growing wildly restless.

After organizing the caravan, Lin Mengya’s group immediately set off from Fort Naratha. The smile on Xia Bin’s face gradually faded away.

Xia Bin said, “What happens next is your business. If they run away, don’t blame me for falling out with you.”

Zhao Guangda, who was standing behind Xia Bin, glanced coldly at the bandit’s chief in front of him, then waved his hand, and disappeared from Fort Naratha with his men.

“Qinghu, it’s time for you to taste the pain I’ve suffered in my life!”

Looking at the distant forest, Xia Bin curled his lips into a sneer, without a trace of warmth.

The carriage sped through the forests. They didn’t notice that dozens of people with bows and arrows had quietly appeared in the forest behind them,

Some of them had ambushed there in advance, and now, they aimed their arrows at the speeding carriage.

“Whoosh!”

The unique red arrow struck the carriage, like releasing a certain signal. In an instant, several dozen arrows and crossbow bolts shot toward the carriage.

The horse that was shot let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground heavily, but it was still in a running posture.

The carriage rolled over on its side, appearing a little tragic scene.

Zhao Guangda immediately led his men to check the carriage, but there was no one in the carriage except for the luggage.

“We’ve been fooled! Return to chase them!”

Even though the interception attempt failed, Zhao Guangda did not blow his top.

It was because he had already made arrangements along the way of both coming and going. Furthermore, Xia Bin’s men would come out to help them search. It would be extremely difficult to escape!

In the woods not far from Fort Naratha, Lin Mengya, and the more than 20 people were lying on the ground quietly, listening carefully to what was going on outside.

Finally, a rush of bandits rushed over. As expected, those fellows wanted to kill Lin Mengya and others in the way.

Xia Bin was not a fool. He knew that if Lin Mengya and others died in Fort Naratha, following that, it would be a bloodbath from the person behind him.

Fortunately, these horses had been specially trained so well that they could run to their destination on their own even without a carriage driver.
