Chapter 183 Goose Neck Valley

So Ling Xiao actually didn't want to leave this bandit's den. He really wanted to stay here with Su Nanyi and their two children forever.

Unfortunately, they still have to leave eventually.

Half a month later, they set off.

But in the past half month, Ling Xiao received many letters from the capital. At present, the capital is still relatively calm, and no one has discovered that the emperor sitting in the palace is Ling Xiao's secret guard in disguise.

Ling Xiao was carried away by someone. It was a sedan chair made for him by An Er and his men, including Su Nanyi.

He also called out a few elite soldiers to carry them away.

Instead, the carriage went empty.

After passing Phoenix Mountain, you will be north of Dongzhou and close to Beizhou.

Compared with that side, this side is indeed much poorer. It’s not that the land is barren, but that the people are much poorer.

So every time Ling Xiao passed through a county, he would ask the county magistrate to post a notice saying that the bandits in Phoenix Mountain had been eliminated and the people could enter and leave the area freely.

Otherwise, officials would die of tuberculosis and the people would die of drought.

Ling Xiao was not happy at all when he saw this scene. The Great Yan Kingdom had gone through more than a dozen emperors for hundreds of years. The bandits had been entrenched in Phoenix Mountain for hundreds of years and had bullied the people for hundreds of years, making the people miserable.

"Okay, sir. You can take a rest first. I will send someone to investigate."

Ling Xiao nodded: "You guys should be careful too."

When they arrived at the valley entrance, Ling Xiao asked the team to stop there to rest and investigate.

The people were all thanking this capable man who suppressed the bandits, but no one knew who he was.

After the team stopped, An Er went to check out the terrain here and came back to ask Ling Xiao.

When the people found out, they all cheered and talked about who was so powerful that he could wipe out the bandits who had been entrenched for many years.

To enter Beizhou, you must pass through the Goose Neck Valley.

There was no emperor who sent troops to suppress the bandits.

Apart from the little harvest from the fields, the people basically have no extra income, and they are already lucky enough to be able to fill their stomachs.

However, Ling Xiao was very glad that he could make this trip. If he hadn't come, he wouldn't have known that the bandits here were so rampant and simply insane.

Ling Xiao shook his head: "This is my first time here, so I'm not sure. Send a few more people to check it out."

This is simply getting rid of harm for the people.

Another five days passed before we had finished traveling around East Continent and were now approaching North Continent.

"Master, this canyon is so long, and there are high mountains on both sides. Will there be any problems?"

He just looked all the way but couldn't come up with anything. He wrote down everything he saw and left it to the court officials to figure out after returning to Beijing. Otherwise, why keep them around?

See what's suitable to develop or plant here, so as to at least make people's lives a little better.

After the bandits in Phoenix Mountain were eliminated, Ling Xiao had an idea in his mind. He walked around to understand the people's sentiments and the local customs and practices.

Of course, no troops were sent to suppress the bandits for a variety of reasons.

An hour later, An Er and the others came back.

"How about it?"

Ling Xiao had already finished his meal and was waiting for An Er and the others to come back.

An Er reported: "Master, we didn't find anything unusual, but for safety reasons, I will send someone to go ahead. Master, you follow."

"Okay, let's get going immediately."

Ling Xiao looked at the sky. It was getting late. Once he got out of the canyon, it would be almost dark.

It would be even more dangerous if we were still in the canyon after dark.

He was traveling incognito this time without any disguise, so people who knew him would definitely recognize him, so his whereabouts did not necessarily have to be kept absolutely secret.

After receiving the order, An Er immediately went to make arrangements. Half an incense stick later, the team set off immediately.

This time, Su Nanyi did not ride in a sedan chair, but in a horse-drawn carriage.

In the carriage, Su Nanyi was always feeling uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen.

She said to Mo Lian, "Mo Lian, go tell me to be careful."

Mo Lian nodded, stopped the carriage, got off and went to convey Su Nanyi's words.

Ling Xiao frowned: "Did your master say that?"

"Yes, the master told me to be careful, but he didn't tell me anything else."

Ling Xiao pursed his lips: "I know, step back and protect them."

"Yes, Master."

Mo Lian immediately returned to Su Nanyi.

"Mo Lian, Leng Yue, my heart is always beating fast and I feel uneasy. I will move all of you inside."

As the carriage drove for a while, Su Nanyi felt more and more uneasy, and she said to Mo Lian and the others.

"What about you, master?" Mo Lian asked.

"I'll play it by ear."

Mo Lian and the others nodded: "Okay then."

They knew that if something really happened, it would be better for Su Nanyi to act alone outside. If they followed her outside, it would affect her.

So Su Nanyi immediately took the wet nurse, the twins, and Mo Lian Lengyue in the carriage into the space.

But there was another carriage behind, and inside it were Tuantuan Yuanyuan and the two wet nurses that Ling Xiao had found.

Su Nanyi was a little conflicted, but she couldn't just put them into the space openly, as that would expose them.

After thinking about it, she decided to give up. If something really happened, it wouldn't be too late for her to take it back.

At the same time, the group of people who were ambushing in the canyon finally saw Ling Xiao walk into their ambush circle.

The leader couldn't help but get nervous, and his hand holding the fuse was shaking.

This is the current emperor, and he will soon die here, at his hands.

Thinking of this, the leader couldn't help but get excited, and his hands shook even more when he got excited.

Xiao Luoluo beside him reminded him: "Boss, calm down."

The leader glared at him and said, "Don't be calm, do you know who these people are? Can you be calm?"

The man smiled awkwardly, indeed he couldn't keep calm.

"Tell people to be careful and don't get discovered. This group of people is not simple."

The leader warned.

"Don't worry, boss. We are so hidden here that only someone with clairvoyance and super hearing can find us."

"Don't be too conceited. You have to know that there are always people better than you. You have only seen a small piece of land in Beizhou. They are people who sit in high places. They have seen all kinds of things."

"Yes, yes, the boss is right. I will give the order right away."

The little Luo Luo looked like he was about to be taught, and he lowered his head and took the orders.

When the leader saw Ling Xiao and his group in the center of the ambush circle, he ordered: "Light the fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone lit the fuse with a tinder.

“Zizzzz…”

The fuse was ignited quickly and then burned rapidly.

At this time, Ling Xiao and the others didn't know that danger was approaching. They were looking around vigilantly, but didn't pay attention to their feet.
