Through Time Chapter 279

“Impossible! How can you know more than us!”

Mei said with a few moments of disbelief.

Goguryeo’s mission had arrived only yesterday!

They acted as soon as they received the news from Zhao Lang, and no one dared to say that they were faster than them!

But now, the other side’s information seemed to be more accurate, and detailed, than theirs.

How was this possible?

A thought suddenly flashed through Mei’s mind that

Did it mean that the other side had a stronger intelligence network behind them than they did?

Zhao Lang looked at the other party and simply said indifferently that

“If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself when the time comes.”

He did not say much, because sometimes it was better to say less than to say more.

Hearing these words, Mei’s expression changed continuously, and eventually she said, with some difficulty

“With your strength, you don’t need us at all, why…”

Halfway through her words, Mei did not say anything.

Because at the very beginning, the other party just rejected them outright.

It was she herself who had forced the thread.

In a flash Mei understood what was going on, and after gathering her thoughts, she calmed down and said that

“The male wave is testing us?”

“Trying to see our intelligence skills, and whether we’ve lied to you?!”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang’s eyebrows twitched slightly before he blandly said that

“No.”

Mei took a deep breath at this time and said that

“Duke Long doesn’t have to hide it! Mei won’t give up so easily, we’ll do better!”

Zhao Lang blinked, that was not a good thing to say.

But to Mei, it was another layer of meaning.

“Duke Long, Mei will leave first, and we will definitely get more detailed information tomorrow.”

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Although Zhao Lang knew that the other party had misunderstood, this misunderstanding looked to be quite beneficial to himself.

At least the other party did not dare to deceive him.

So he didn’t explain.

When Mei had left, Zhao Lang said to Xi that

“A few of you will take turns watching tonight.”

His cheap old man had come today, and to hell with them touching over.

And Mei.

With so many people coming, it was better to be careful.

“It’s the family head.”

Joy returned.

Zhao Lang nodded, and only then did he go back to his room to rest.

Soon, hi was on the roof.

Of course, because of Qin Shi Huang’s arrival, there was already someone on the roof too.

“Coming?”

“Coming.”

“Just heard that commotion, is that the people from the north coming back? So have Little Six and the others followed them back yet?”

“No. Went further north to drink the northwest wind.”

“Tch, how tragic.”

“By the way, where’s number eight?”

Number eight, the man Zhao Lang had sent to his cheap old man.

“He, ah, is busy.”

“What does he have to be busy with?”

Xi said, somewhat puzzled, knowing the orders Zhao Lang had given.

It was to scout around for any Black Ice Guards.

But there was no need to scout, just report that no one had been found.

“Later on, through the merchant’s man, Gongzi Lang passed orders for him to record the people His Majesty had contacted every day, trying to rule it out.”

“So he’s making up nonsense every day, tsk, his hair has fallen out so much.”

When Xi heard that he didn’t say a word, when Zhao Lang had intended to send him there.

Soon, peace returned to the roof once again.

At that moment, Mei went all the way back to her room.

The maid had been waiting for her for a long time, and when she saw Mei’s return, she immediately spoke with some excitement that

“Girl, how was it? Did it surprise him!”

Mei had managed to find a possible backer and they were concerned.

Mei slowly told the story, and the maid’s eyes gradually widened, and finally she couldn’t help but say that

“How could this happen!”

Mei did not blame the other for making a fuss; she was no better off herself at the time, and soothed to

“No matter, we’ll just do things more attentively, and besides, it shows all the more that Gongzi Lang is very strong.”

The maid nodded, and then said.

“Miss Mei, do you think we should check out Gong Zi Lang?”

“In the information I’ve gathered up recently, Gongzi Lang’s name has appeared many times.”

“And I don’t know if it’s the same person.”

Mei hesitated, but eventually shook her head and said

“You give me that information, but don’t make a special effort to find out, or it will be bad if Gongzi Lang finds out.”

The maid nodded and said.

“What the girl says is true.”

Mei nodded and said.

“Alright, you go and rest too, it’s hard work having you cover every time I go out.”

The maid laughed and

“It’s all for our own good, it’s not hard work.”

“It’s just that, girl, you should actually think about yourself.”

Mei was slightly stunned, she understood what the other woman meant, but gave a forced smile and said that

“I’m eighteen now, and I grew up in a technical college, so there’s nothing to think about.”

“My big and little sisters raised me, all I can do is try to find a group of us to fall back on.”

“You needn’t worry, go and rest.”

The maid’s eyes darkened and she too had to retreat.

Standing in the doorway, she looked at Mei’s shadow reflected on the door and sighed faintly before the maid of honour left.

When she had gone, the middle-aged figure with the goatee stepped out from the shadows.

With a gloomy expression, he turned towards the servant on one side and asked

“Did you find out?”

As the Lord of Yin and Yang, he had long regarded Mei as his forbidden possession, but he did not expect the other party to secretly have dealings with others.

“Master, I just followed Mei to a manor house, but I couldn’t follow her inside, which was heavily guarded.”

“And I don’t know which power it belongs to.”

The servant returned.

Hearing this reply, a hint of displeasure flashed clearly on the face of the goat-bearded middle-aged man.

Knowing his master’s nature, the servant hastened to say that

“Master, recently a hundred families have gathered in Xianyang, so it is really difficult to tell.”

“However, we have spied news of the medical family.”

“The Healer’s Family!”

The goatee-bearded middle-aged man’s eyes snapped open and he spoke with extreme excitement, saying

“Speak up!”

The servant did not dare to delay and hurriedly said that

“Recently, the Apricot Hall in Xianyang City has suddenly gained a great reputation and has an extremely unique way of seeing patients.”

“Although the consultation fee is extremely expensive, starting from two taels of gold, it still attracts countless noble people to go there.”

“With this strange movement, my subordinates speculate that a medical family has stepped in, otherwise, how would they dare to charge such an expensive consultation fee?”

After hearing these words, the goat-bearded middle-aged man’s gaze flickered incessantly.

Back then, the last Lord of Yin and Yang had left behind a big secret!

There was an extremely precious treasure in the hands of the medical family!

It was rumoured to be able to make a man soar by day!

But after the last time, it was as if the head of the Healing Family had vanished into thin air… I never thought I’d find news of them this time!

His subordinate was right, if the Head of the Healing Family hadn’t struck, how would the other side dare to charge such an expensive consultation fee!

The goat-bearded middle-aged man had made up his mind and was about to order something.

Suddenly his expression changed and he looked fiercely at a place.

He found a young boy, just a short distance away, staring at them in disbelief.

The goatee-bearded middle-aged man’s eyes instantly turned ruthless as he walked towards the other man, their conversation, of course, must not get out!

At that moment, a servant at the side hurriedly said that

“Master! This man is a fool! He has only been taken in for a short time, and he has broken his head, so he can only do simple things!”

“Master! It’s getting harder and harder for us to take captives now, we can’t kill them!”

The goat-bearded middle-aged man heard this before he dropped his hand and said impatiently that

“If no one is there, go somewhere far away!”

“Useless thing!”

Scolded severely, the goatee-bearded middle-aged man then turned away with his men.

Without noticing the flash of disdain in that dull teenager’s eyes.
