"Quickly help Zhao Cheng into the tent and stop the bleeding first," Zhao Xian said as he rushed into the tent.

Li Guang helped Zhao Cheng into the camp.

Li Xue was shocked. Just now, Zhao Cheng caught Wang Ling's dart with his bare hands and black blood flowed out. She thought it was a performance to cooperate with Li Guang. But when she saw Zhao Cheng cut off her arm with a sword, she realized that it was all real.

She first went forward to check on Wang Ling and saw that his hands and feet were tightly bound and he could not escape, so she felt relieved.

She instructed someone to keep an eye on Wang Ling, and then she also entered the camp.

After entering the tent, Zhao Xian first opened the large wooden box and took out some medical supplies. Because Zhao Xian's injuries were very serious, he also needed to purchase some items from the system.

The items arrived quickly, and Zhao Xian began bandaging Zhao Cheng.

The first thing to do is to stop the bleeding. Although it hasn't been long, Zhao Cheng has already lost a lot of blood and is very weak.

The use of hemostatic bandages quickly stopped the bleeding, and the next step was to bandage the severed arm.

Li Xue stepped forward to help, her mind filled with thoughts. She had come to Devil Valley mainly to find her brother, Li Ru, but an accident had occurred that caused Zhao Cheng to lose an arm.

After a flurry of activity, the wound was finally bandaged. Zhao Xian was drenched in sweat, while Zhao Cheng gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain without uttering a sound.

Zhao Xian brought over a bowl of water, added anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine to it, and had Zhao Cheng drink it.

After a short while, Zhao Cheng felt the pain significantly lessen, and his brows relaxed. The others also breathed a sigh of relief, but their mood did not ease.

"Brother Zhao, what do we do now?" Li Xue asked.

Zhao Xian sighed and said:

"Although the plan succeeded, we did not expect that Wang Ling's darts were poisoned, which caused Zhao Cheng to lose an arm."

"Wang Ling used poisoned darts to harm us. It was all Li Hui's doing. I will definitely not let him get away with this," Li Guang said angrily.

"Zhao Cheng is seriously injured, the environment here is too harsh, and there's also Wang Ling, a serious criminal. We must keep a close eye on him and not let him escape."

We must return to Yunjiazhuang immediately so that Zhao Cheng can recuperate there, and then discuss how to deal with Wang Ling. Our journey to Jindian Kingdom has to be postponed.

Li Guang nodded and said:

"It seems this is the only way. Let's return to Yun Family Village first."

The group immediately got to work. To ease Zhao Cheng's pain, Zhao Xian made a stretcher and prepared to carry Zhao Cheng back.

It wasn't until dusk the next day that the group returned to Yunjiazhuang. The old hunter was shocked to see this and hurriedly asked what had happened.

The guide gave a brief explanation of the situation, but the old hunter, who had never seen anything like it before, was trembling with fear.

"Then let General Zhao recuperate here. The conditions inside are better than in the camp."

Li Guang nodded and arranged for Zhao Cheng to stay at the old hunter's house, where two people would take care of him.

Next, everyone began to discuss what to do next.

At present, Zhao Cheng's injuries and Wang Ling's treatment are the most important things. Finding Li Ru is not urgent, but since everyone has already arrived at Devil's Valley, they cannot give up halfway.

After discussing for a long time, Li Guang spoke up:

“Brother Zhao, how about this? Once Zhao Cheng’s condition stabilizes, I’ll take him back to Lishui first, and at the same time, I’ll escort Wang Ling there as well.”

After arriving in Lishui, I asked General Wei to write a memorial to the court, introducing Wang Ling's actions here.

This time I am going to the imperial court to meet my father, the emperor, and expose Li Hui's crimes. Wang Ling and many of his accomplices are hiding in the eldest prince's residence. I will personally lead the men to arrest them.

This time I will lead an army of 15,000 to the capital. There are also 5,000 troops in Lishui. Brother Zhao will bring them back to Narcissus Village.

As for searching for Li Ruge, I cannot participate.

After Li Guang finished speaking, he looked at Li Xue.

Li Xue knew in her heart that Li Guang was serious this time, and he had to take down Li Hui no matter what; this was a big deal.

"Li Guang, go ahead and do what you need to do. If you do it well, you will achieve great things. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

As for finding Brother Li Ru, Brother Zhao will accompany me, which will ensure everything goes smoothly. I always thought Brother Zhao was a weak scholar, but I never expected that Brother Zhao is the real expert.

Brother Zhao told me he could use a hidden weapon. At first, I was skeptical, but after he subdued Wang Ling in one move, I realized Brother Zhao was telling the truth.

Indeed, Zhao Xian subdued Wang Ling in an instant. Li Guang didn't even see what kind of hidden weapon Zhao Xian used. Wang Ling's hand, which was holding the dart, was so badly injured that the bones were broken and the hand was completely useless.

No one knew that Zhao Xian was using a modern weapon called a pistol, and Zhao Xian didn't want to show it, only saying that it was a concealed weapon.

Zhao Xian was a little embarrassed by Li Xue's praise and smiled, saying:

"You flatter me, Princess. The hidden weapons I make are mainly for self-defense and should be used in emergencies. If used improperly, they can injure yourself. I will not use them unless it is an extremely urgent situation."

Li Guang, you have very important things to do. Leave the search for General Li Ru to me. I will definitely protect the princess's safety.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, I'll return to Narcissus Village after I've taken care of things in the capital."

In the past, if Zhao Xian had accompanied Li Xue to Jindian Kingdom, Li Guang would definitely have been worried.

Even a notorious bandit like Wang Ling was no match for Zhao Xian, so who else could be his opponent?

Zhao Xian has a very strong ability to adapt. He can calmly resolve any danger he encounters, and there is basically nothing he cannot do.

There is no one else with such abilities in the Great Northern Dynasty. With Zhao Xian protecting Li Xue, Li Guang can rest assured.

Three days later, Zhao Cheng's condition stabilized, and Li Guang took Zhao Cheng and Wang Ling with him to Lishui.

With Wang Ling no longer a dangerous figure, Zhao Xian and Li Xue felt much more at ease. The two prepared to cross Devil's Valley again the next day and head to the Golden Kingdom.

With the experience from last time, crossing Devil's Valley was much easier this time. Devil's Valley is not actually scary; as long as you pay attention to the risks, you can cross it easily.

As before, the guide walked in front, holding a cage containing mice and constantly watching for any changes in the mice.

Two days later, the group arrived at the narrowest part of the valley, where there were scattered rocks everywhere and some low-lying areas were filled with water, making it much more difficult to walk.

Everyone knew that the valley was only a little over a hundred miles long, and they had been walking for two days. There shouldn't be much road ahead, and they would soon be able to get out of the valley.

As expected, an hour later, the area ahead gradually opened up, and everyone was immediately overjoyed, as it seemed they had reached the entrance to the valley.

It was already late, and since the group was unaware of the situation outside, they decided to set up camp and leave the valley entrance early the next morning to head towards the Golden Kingdom.
