Chapter 740 Ruffian-like Governors

Although Long Tianyu had massaged her body with the ointment under Qinghu’s guidance every night until she fell asleep, it could not stop her health condition from worsening.

Long Tianyu felt so uncertain for the first time.

Even at this moment, at the sight of her every twinkle and smile, he felt the warmth he was familiar with.

However, with his heart laden with increasing worry, he could not relax his will at all.

Only by trying all he could to maintain a cold look could he behave calmly in front of her.

Lin Mengya nodded with a sweet smile.

How could she be unaware of Long Tianyu’s and Qinghu’s thoughts?

She let Long Tianyu push her wheelchair towards the Governors’ Mansion.

Because the island in the middle of the lake was covered with poisonous grasses and insects, it had been sealed by the governors of Jiang City.

Without the governors’ permission, ordinary people would never go there.

This was the reason they followed Hou Yuetian obediently to meet the two governors he described as incompatible with each other.

After walking across a few streets, they saw the towering walls of the Governors’ Mansion.

But before they got into the mansion, they saw two groups of people, who were dressed in two kinds of clothes but both in mighty formations, standing on opposite sides in front of the gate of the Governors’ Mansion.

Lin Mengya glanced at the two groups of people with curiosity.

Some of them were holding wooden sticks as thick as an arm, while some were holding glittering machetes.

It was obvious that they were about to have a fight at the slightest disagreement.

She dragged Long Tianyu’s sleeve and pointed excitedly at the two groups of people.

Gosh, a brawl between two gangs!

She, who had not seen such a violent scene for a long time, wondered if there was anyone betting on it.

Long Tianyu glanced at her and shook his head slightly, suggesting that they were evenly matched and both might end up suffering great losses, so she had better not bet on any side so as not to lose the bet.

The two of them had such a tacit understanding, while no one saw that Hou Yuetian, who was leading the way, kept clenching and unclenching his fists with a livid face.

Only by doing this was he able to suppress his rage, which was like a volcano about to erupt.

What on earth were the two guys doing?

The blue veins standing out on his forehead indicated how furious he was, as he clearly saw that the two heads standing at the forefront of their respective groups like ruffians turned out to be his two good friends.

The governor and the vice governor led their forces to have a fight. If this news went out, Jiang City would become the laughingstock of the entire Nation of Dongxia.

He, who had firmly supported them back then, would probably be considered as a fool by the public.

This did not matter most. What mattered most was that it was seen by Miss Qingge.

There came a sound of cracking. No one knew it was caused by Hou Yuetian’s clenching his teeth too hard or his breaking off the folding fan he usually held in rage.

Anyway, Hou Yuetian was so furious that he wished he could slap the two of them heavily.

“I have to say that the folk custom of the Nation of Dongxia is quite, quite unique. Why don’t we go back first?” Lin Mengya said, swearing in her heart that she was not mocking the scene in front of her.

She said that merely because if the people on both sides, who were full of murderous intent, really had a fight, she would be splashed with blood all over.

Hearing her words, Hou Yuetian felt anxious.

He forced a smile at Lin Mengya. Then, under her apologetic gaze, he strode to the open space in front of the Governors’ Mansion.

“Are you two done with this?” Hou Yuetian berated the two heads, who started this, which astonished Lin Mengya.

She had thought that the two heads were the two governors’ representatives.

After all, it was disgraceful to confront each other on the street.

Unexpectedly, hearing what Hou Yuetian shouted, she realized that the two guys acting like heads of gangs turned out to be the governor and the vice governor of Jiang City.

“The people in the Nation of Dongxia are really tough. Long Tianyu, why don’t we have such down-to-earth officers in our family?” Lin Mengya said.

Long Tianyu glanced at Lin Mengya seriously, and then glanced at the two governors, who were still glaring at each other even after being berated.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, “I will instruct them to practice martial arts in the future.”

Uh…

Lin Mengya looked at her husband with a bitter smile, thinking she did not mean that.

What about the tacit understanding between them? Why did he get her wrong now?

At the thought that those officers, who usually sat upright in the government offices, had to fight for their territories, even Lin Mengya, who was fertile of imagination, felt a chill down her spine.

“Uh… you had better drop the idea. I don’t want you to become the head of a gang of hooligans in the future. The current situation is good,” Lin Mengya said, glad that there were no Hong Kong movies in this era.

Otherwise, if Long Tianyu saw the criminal gang movies such as Young and Dangerous, he would probably be the head of a criminal gang instead of a wise ruler.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her husband was not going to follow bad examples.

After they exchanged a few comments, Hou Yuetian was done with rebuking his two good friends.

Standing in a distance, Lin Mengya did not hear Hou Yuetian’s words clearly.

Nevertheless, the two men, who had confronted each other with weapons a moment ago, lowered their heads, reluctantly stood before Hou Yuetian and listened to him admonish them in suppressed rage.

Although it was strange for two governors to fight with each other, what was even stranger was that the two governors, who seemed to be hard nuts to crack, listened obediently to Hou Yuetian, who claimed to be a helpless man between his two good friends.

She turned to look at her husband and thought, “Could it be that Hou Yuetian is also a lord or a prince?”

If that was the case, she would be quite lucky.

It was good enough to get the help of a childe from an aristocratic family. Unexpectedly, the childe she met turned out to be a marquis with real power.

Perhaps god felt sorry for her misfortune and sent Hou Yuetian to show her the way.

While she was secretly rejoicing, Hou Yuetian scolded his two friends with a cold expression.

After managing to appease the two guys who harbored a grudge against each other, he led them to meet Lin Mengya.

“This is Mr. Su Qing I’ve just introduced to you. This is his cousin, Mr. Liu Yu. This lady is Brother Su’s cousin, Miss Qingge. Don’t underestimate her, who is a miracle-working doctor. I saw her excellent medical skill with my own eyes on the way. You guys, these two are the two governors of Jiang City I’ve mentioned to you,” Hou Yuetian said.

He gave a brief introduction of Su Qing and Liu Yu, but introduced Su Qingge solemnly.

How could the two shrewd governors be unaware that their good friend had fallen in love with the lady?

Lin Mengya nodded at them graciously and glanced at them politely as a greeting.

She could tell one of them was a civil officer and the other was a military officer from their appearances, clothes and bearing.

The man on the left, who was sturdy with thick and powerful back and shoulders, was obviously adept in martial arts.

However, he was dressed in a dark green silk robe for a civil officer, which did not suit him and was too tight for a burly man like him.

He looked simple and honest with a particularly amiable smile.

The other man standing next to him was dressed in a set of silver soft armor.

With his hair tied neatly behind his head and no beard on his white face, he looked like a refined scholar, but held a long sword and acted like a military officer.

Not to mention Lin Mengya, even Qinghu and Long Tianyu, who had great experience, couldn’t help taking a few more glances at the two of them.

After they exchanged greetings, Hou Yuetian, whose face softened, led them into the Governors’ Mansion only a few steps away like a host.

The others were fine with that, but the two governors began to quarrel over who should enter the mansion first.

“Sima Nan, as the governor of Jiang City, I should get in first!” As the burly man said, he went up to the gate recklessly, acting fearlessly.

“Qin Libei, stop messing with me. Without me, can you manage the large Governors’ Mansion properly?” The refined military officer refused to let him get in first.

The two stood at the gate and quarreled furiously with each other.

Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu and Qinghu looked embarrassed.

They had never seen the hosts quarrel at the gate before the guests got in.

Supporting her forehead with her hand, Lin Mengya felt a little sorry for Hou Yuetian, who was gnashing his teeth in anger and wished he could go up to kill his two good friends.

What a lively scene! Even Liuxin Courtyard, which had been noisy before, could not compare with this place!

“Come on, tear down the gate! Since neither of you is willing to come in, you don’t need the gate anymore!” Hou Yuetian failed to hold back his rage and suddenly shouted.

On hearing his shout like a clap of thunder, his two friends stopped quarreling in an instant.

“Don’t… don’t do that… We’ll stop quarreling,” they said.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them, who kept quarreling over this just now, walked through the gate at the same time.

Looking at Hou Yuetian, who was obviously furious, the two of them showed a look of shame.

“Well, shut up!” Hou Yuetian said.

The two of them nodded in agreement.

Lin Mengya and others also breathed a sigh of relief. At least the world finally quietened down.
