Chapter 268: Ning County's Past
The relationship between Nanyue and other countries was not close, not because it was a non-aggressor. It was because the Queen of Nanyue was arrogant and did not want to be involved with other countries. In addition, Nanyue was strong and other countries would not easily provoke it.
But why did Nanyue send a holy envoy to congratulate the King of Western Xia on his birthday this time, which is completely different from the previous practice?
Looking at Handan who was begging to go with her, Su Chenyu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "In that case, let's go together."
"Thank you Feng Yi 䭹㹏."
The bandits who heard the conversation between the two were surprised by Su Chenyu's identity. They could not imagine that the one who came to the mountain to kill them this time was actually Xiao Yu. It seemed that there was really no way to survive this time.
Li Mucheng dealt with the bandits outside, and after he came in, he had the bandits in the lobby taken away: "We have searched the entire Baiyun Village, and only found some valuables."
Su Chenyu looked at Handan and said, "Miss Handan, I'll trouble you to lead the way for us."
There is a secret passage in Baiyun Village that leads to the foot of the mountain. In the middle of this secret passage there is a dark cage where many women sent by Madam Mei are imprisoned. Periodically, someone will pick them up from the other end of the passage and send them to the Xixia military camp.
Handan led everyone into the dark cellar, where about a dozen women were huddled together, with dishevelled hair and dirty faces. When they saw strangers coming in, they all backed away.
Su Chenyu sighed when she saw their pitiful appearance, and ordered Li Mucheng to take them out and send them back after finding their families.
After the women were taken out, Su Chenyu looked at the empty cell and sighed, "Mei'er once saw her own mother die from humiliation, but when she grew up, she put other women in the same situation as her mother. Does she have to let innocent people get hurt again just because she got hurt herself?"
Baili Yanqing was about to say something when another voice suddenly rang out: "This woman is really cruel, otherwise she wouldn't be able to leave today."
On the other side was a sealed iron cage, and voices were heard from there. Baili Yanqing walked over, drew his sword and cut the chain of the cage, then opened the door. A middle-aged man was locked inside.
Even though he was locked in an iron cage without seeing the sun, he still combed his hair neatly, with a sharp look between his eyebrows and looked very serious.
"Are you the leader of Baiyun Village?" Su Chenyu guessed his identity.
Master Qin sat cross-legged on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the person standing outside the iron cage. He said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "That's right."
Master Qin did not look very depressed, which surprised Su Chenyu. As expected of a man who had conquered so many mountains, he still had some courage.
"Baiyun Village no longer exists from now on." Su Chenyu made way, "Come out."
Master Qin stood up from the ground and slowly walked out of the iron cage: "I thought I would never be able to leave this iron cage again in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that I could still walk out."
As he said this, he looked at Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing again: "I was deceived badly by that woman at the beginning, but you are really capable of seeing her true face."
"It's just a coincidence." Su Chenyu asked, "Why did you destroy the snow mushrooms in Ning County?"
Mr. Qin did not answer, but put forward a condition: "I want to go to Ning County to take another look. After that, I will tell you everything."
"Let's go."
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing led Master Qin outside. Along the way, Master Qin looked at the dead and wounded bandits without a trace of pity in his eyes.
