"Okay! I'll go in a bit!"
Li Xiaochen nodded in agreement.
Lin Yuxin and her group headed towards Bianjing, avoiding official roads and instead following the less crowded routes. Sometimes they even took mountain paths. When they didn't know the way, Lin Yuxin would release the black bear to ask the animals in the forest for directions.
Along the way, they encountered two more groups of assassins, each time with more members than the last.
However, they were all easily captured by Lin Yuxin's people, and Qiu Jingfan did not punish them. He simply poisoned them and recruited them into his own ranks.
So the team, which originally consisted of only fifty-odd people, gradually grew into a team of over a hundred people, but there were still differences.
Lin Yuxin's special forces eat meat, while the assassins can only drink soup. They also have to go hunting in the mountains and fishing in the river. Basically, they have to do all the dirty and hard work.
They wanted to fight back, but they couldn't win! Even without weapons, the other side could beat them so badly they wouldn't recognize their own mothers. How could they dare to resist?
Therefore, these assassins most hoped that their emperor could send more people over, at least the newcomers would have a harder time than the old ones, so that they could catch their breath.
Ten days passed, and they finally arrived outside Bianjing. However, Li Xiaochen did not take them directly into the capital. Instead, he took them to Que Ling Mountain, which was ten kilometers away from Bianjing. He told them to wait there temporarily to make it easier to hide.
Lin Yuxin thought it was a good idea. So many people coming to Beijing together would attract too much attention. After thinking for a moment, she winked at Li Xiaochen.
Li Xiaochen understood immediately, then had them find an open space to set up camp, while he took Lin Yuxin and left for a while!
Qiu Jingfan glanced at the two of them strangely, but didn't pay much attention, assuming that the couple had something to say to each other again.
Cheng Tinghao had already fallen asleep leaning on Shan Ying's shoulder. He was too tired from the journey and didn't make a fuss, knowing that getting on the road was the priority. So now that they had arrived, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Wang Yu and Lie Yan also consciously did not follow, but instead helped the soldiers set up camp!
Just as everyone was busy with their work, they suddenly heard a bear roar. Everyone tensed up and became wary, wondering where the bear came from.
The special forces acted the fastest, preparing for action in the shortest time and surrounding Cheng Tinghao and Qiu Jingfan, who had been startled awake.
The assassins also looked around warily, while protecting the Second Prince. They had no choice; their lives were in the Second Prince's hands, and they had no choice but to betray him!
Because they couldn't die even if they wanted to. Some people didn't want to betray their master, but they were saved by that woman shortly after taking the poison, and the poison in their bodies was confiscated. It really proved the saying that they couldn't die even if they wanted to.
Some even tried to commit suicide, but their blood flowed all over the ground. The woman managed to stitch them up with needle and thread, gave them a pill, and they miraculously survived!
After that, no one wanted to commit suicide anymore; they couldn't die anyway, and it was just a waste of energy.
Just as everyone was watching warily at the spot where the bear had roared, a tall figure slowly appeared and walked towards them step by step!
It was a bear, a very, very big bear, much bigger than a normal bear!!
Seeing this, the special forces soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, ready to capture the bear in one fell swoop and make a bearskin blanket for the princess.
As it turned out, someone with sharp eyes spotted a person on the bear's back, and they actually knew this person quite well!
"Is that... the princess on the bear's back?"
"I think so?"
"The princess is...riding a bear?"
As Lin Yuxin rode the bear closer and closer, everyone could finally see clearly that it really was the Princess!
The prince returned, dragging a deer behind the bear.
Everyone: ...?
Your Highness, your status is declining! Are you aware of that?
The group put away their weapons and looked at the giant bear with curiosity in their eyes:
"Your Highness! Where did this bear come from? It's huge! Much bigger than a normal bear!!"
"Exactly! Your Highness, is this bear dangerous? Where did you catch it? It's so fierce!"
"Sister, can I touch it?"
Even Cheng Tinghao got excited at this moment and ran over, looking eager to try.
Lin Yuxin patted the black bear on the shoulder, and the black bear immediately reached out and put Lin Yuxin down, then obediently found a place to sit down.
Hmm! His master let him out, so he has to perform well and try to be stronger than that stinky tiger!
"Go ahead and touch it, it won't hurt you. I encountered this bear while hunting with the prince just now. I helped it out, and it followed me. I felt a connection with it, so I brought it back."
Lin Yuxin lied without thinking.
Everyone nodded in agreement. The princess was indeed formidable; even the bear listened to her. However, given the princess's abilities, this small matter was not surprising!
Seeing the bear sitting there so obediently, so docile, not at all like a bear, the crowd grew bolder, and a few even reached out and touched it.
Seeing that the black bear really didn't hurt anyone, he immediately stroked it again with delight.
"So cute!"
This black bear actually made a group of grown men feel an overwhelming surge of maternal instincts! Unbelievable!
"Your Highness is truly amazing! Even the bears obey you!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding special forces soldiers all nodded in agreement.
The assassins who were further away wore bitter expressions. This woman was truly a monster. Her hands could heal bones and she could tame ferocious beasts. Was she even human?
Li Xiaochen handed the deer to Wang Yu, instructing him to take his men and dispose of it. Then he walked over and said:
"The king and queen will find a way to enter the city this afternoon. You will stay on the mountain and await orders."
