There are no good people among bandits; Nie Yuan is just pretending to be a good person.
"Is the woman settled in?"
Old Hei, his face also dark, looked impatiently at Nie Yuan, whose face was gloomy, and asked.
"Hmm, did you send a message to the boss?"
Nie Yuan sat down and asked in a deep voice.
"I just had the cripple deliver it; I expect to receive it tonight."
Old Hei nodded and said in a low voice.
"Alright, when we get back this time, we have to teach this woman a lesson."
Nie Yuan spoke fiercely.
He initially thought Lin Yuxin was an easier woman to deal with, someone he could easily fool, so he acted very easy to talk to and didn't take her seriously.
As it turned out, they were the ones who were exploited along the way. Not only were they beaten, but they also had to do hard labor all the way. They didn't even have a chance to resist. He couldn't swallow this insult.
They were oppressed by that black bear in the deep forest, and they couldn't resist. Now that they had finally gained control of their territory, they had plenty of ways to deal with her.
"But this woman is too strange, will she be able to handle it?"
Thinking about Lin Yuxin's behavior along the way, Lao Hei felt uneasy and had a bad feeling.
"What? When you first picked her up, you were quite wary of this woman, but now you're hesitant and afraid of everything?"
Nie Yuan looked at Lao Hei and asked curiously.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't know why, I always have a bad feeling!"
Lao Hei didn't refute it. He did look down on Lin Yuxin at first, thinking it was just a small mission. But he was exploited along the way, which made him feel suffocated. He could also sense that Lin Yuxin was not simple.
If we really take her back, and we can't kill her, but instead bring trouble to the village, what will become of us?
Old Hei told Nie Yuan his idea. Nie Yuan pondered for a moment, his anger subsiding, and his mind clearing. He nodded and said in a low voice:
"Take her back first, talk to the head of the gang, and see how he plans to handle it, or wait for the second-in-command to return?"
"Okay! Let's do it this way!"
Old Hei agreed, saying they'd discuss it when they got back.
While they were dealing with Lin Yuxin, Lin Yuxin was busy making poison in her spatial dimension. She had been collecting herbs in the mountains for the past few days and hadn't had a chance to go to her spatial dimension at all. Now that she had her own room, she needed to make as much as possible tonight.
Once inside Jipu Village, she was all alone, facing a pack of wolves. She had no idea what the situation was like inside, so she had to be on guard and protect her child.
Since Li Xiaochen learned Lin Yuxin's approximate location and found signs of a fight and bear footprints near the cave entrance, he knew that Lin Yuxin's bear must be with her.
His anxious heart finally calmed down a bit, and the group hurried along the road towards Huabing City.
They received information that Huabing City was a place they frequented, so Li Xiaochen guessed that it must be where they had a base.
Li Xiaochen didn't want to miss any possibility.
Inside the palace, Qiu Jingfan was furious because Qiu Qiyi had really run away!
"Useless! You can't even take care of one person, what use are you?"
Qiu Jingfan sat on the dragon table, picked up the memorial on the table, and threw it at the person who was kneeling on the ground to report.
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
The man knelt on the ground begging for mercy. He had no idea that the late emperor had run away so quietly.
Qiu Jingfan took a deep breath. Li Xiaochen had previously sent him a message saying that Qiu Qiyi might still have influence outside, and warned him to be careful.
He took it to heart. He had originally planned to choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne, but upon hearing the news, he hurriedly did so.
He had ascended the throne, but Qiu Qiyi's punishment had not yet been decided, and the matter was being dragged on, with the ministers having differing opinions.
Some people spoke well of Qiu Qiyi, saying that he had no heir and posed no threat to the throne, so keeping him alive would be a way of giving an explanation to the late emperor.
Some officials felt that he was guilty of heinous crimes, having harmed so many people, and should be executed.
Unable to make a decision quickly, they delayed for several days, and as a result, he actually managed to escape! It seems that Qiu Qiyi still has people in the palace! Otherwise, how could he have escaped from this heavily guarded palace?
This is practically letting a tiger return to the mountains! The autumn scenery is so melancholic!
So he didn't care about getting angry and quickly wrote a letter to Li Xiaochen. Since Qiu Jingfan had run away, he would definitely go looking for his people outside the palace, so he might run into Li Xiaochen.
This time he wouldn't hesitate anymore. If Qiu Qiyi fell into Li Xiaochen's hands, it was his fate.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Jingfan quickly replaced all the personnel in the prison, and even the eunuchs and maids in the palace were investigated one by one. Anyone found to be suspicious was immediately executed.
Qiu Qiyi's concubines have all been sent out of the palace, and now the entire Zhao Kingdom's harem is much quieter.
When Li Xiaochen received Qiu Jingfan's message, he was already at the inn in Huabing City.
"Qiu Jingfan is truly useless; he can't even hold onto a defeated opponent!"
Li Xiaochen frowned and impatiently crushed the envelope in his hand, saying...
"The Zhao Emperor is not a ruthless person, which is good for us, isn't it? It will make things less awkward for the two countries to get along in the future."
Cheng Tinghao looked at Li Xiaochen's impatient expression and spoke calmly.
Li Xiaochen raised an eyebrow and looked at Cheng Tinghao, who looked relaxed. This kid can now talk about state affairs from time to time. He is indeed the emperor's son and has a brain.
"This is something you'll have to worry about in the future!"
Li Xiaochen looked away and said indifferently, "It's none of my business."
He was already considering taking Xin Xin on a trip after she gave birth; he didn't really want to concern himself with anything else.
Besides, the Emperor is still healthy and strong. With his guidance, Cheng Tinghao will become an excellent emperor.
Cheng Tinghao was speechless at Li Xiaochen's words. He frowned and looked at Li Xiaochen, but when he saw the longing look on his face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he felt a chill down his spine.
"snort!"
Cheng Tinghao didn't dare to argue with him anymore, lest he say something that would anger him later.
Seeing that the boy had shut up, Li Xiaochen's eyes flashed with amusement, then he looked at Wang Yu and asked:
"Have you found any news about the princess?"
"My subordinates sent people to inquire. A group of about eight people left early yesterday morning, but there was only one woman. They didn't go to an inn in the city, but went directly to a money exchange and only stayed for one night. After leaving the city, they headed straight for Liangshan County."
Wang Yu reported in a low voice.
"Yesterday? We can't catch up now!"
Li Xiaochen frowned. Had he been too late again?
"We can't catch up with them, but we don't know exactly where they're going. We can take precautions in advance. What if we end up in their territory and fall into their trap?"
Wang Yu hesitated for a moment but still spoke up.
They followed the clues all the way here, but all they could find was that the princess had been here. No one knew the exact location of this village. If they went there and fell into Qiu Qiyi's trap, the princess might not be saved, and the prince would also perish!
