Chapter 324: Clearing the Wilderness
If you leave Zizai Peak and head south without stopping day and night, you will reach the location of Du Guangjin's family in two days at most.
It can be seen how decisive Du Guangjin's uncle was when he decided to join Zizai Peak.
After determining the specific direction, Lu Wanyin did not go there directly.
Instead, he took the map carefully drawn by Xie Jingci and headed towards the hiding place of a small group of bandits.
Du Guangjin was leading the way with full confidence, but suddenly he found that the people behind him were not following him at all.
"Hey, hey, you're going the wrong way."
He gripped the reins tightly and followed nervously: "That's the way to the tribe."
Xie Yuyan glanced at him coldly: "Master, don't talk too much."
Du Guangjin quickly shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
This woman is a real murderer.
These small-scale bandits who are still alive today hide in very secretive places.
It took Di Er, a group of people who specialize in this field, nearly three months to find out all of this.
The road is becoming increasingly difficult to walk on.
Du Guangjin was still thinking about getting off his horse and moving forward, but he didn't expect that more than a dozen war horses were running at full speed, carrying people over mountains and across ridges.
The speed remains unchanged, as if walking on flat ground.
Du Guangjin felt unwell.
As the team got closer to the bandit's lair, Du Guangjin became increasingly nervous: "Do we really not have to dismount and walk?"
"There's a forest ahead, and you can't get through on horseback."
"Such good horses, what if they get hurt? Otherwise, let's protect them."
Originally, Lu Wanyin ignored him, and no one else intended to pay any attention to him either.
But he had no self-awareness to stop talking, and finally annoyed Xie Yuyan.
"Shut up, it's so noisy."
Xie Yuyan scowled and scolded, "You'd better protect yourself. If a fight really breaks out, they'll be more useful than you."
Du Guangjin:
He felt insulted, but he didn't dare say it.
When they got closer, they stopped at a high place and could already see the people below and the traps everywhere.
Du Guangjin cautiously approached Lu Wanyin: "Do you want to specify some tactics?"
These bandits are very difficult to deal with. There are only a dozen of them, and they are all women.
If you are not careful, casualties may occur.
Lu Wanyin glanced at him and asked, "What plan do you want?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and said, "Kill."
Fourteen women, like mountain elves, shuttled through the woods, passed through one trap after another, and rushed down the mountain.
Lu Wanyin followed closely, keeping an eye on all sides.
There were at least forty or fifty bandits in this group.
Lu Wanyin and the others did not hide their tracks and were soon discovered.
The bandits were waiting for the traps in the jungle to help them get rid of a group of them, but they didn't expect that even after they got to the foot of the mountain, the traps still didn't move at all.
The bandit leader comforted his men: "It's okay, they are just a bunch of women, how can you be afraid of them?"
A moment later, a group of bandits cried for their parents and fled in all directions.
They all rushed to the place where their horses were stationed at the top of the hill.
If you want to escape, of course you have to ride a horse.
Du Guangjin was so anxious that he pulled the horse and wanted to run away.
It took a long time to do it.
I can’t pull it. I can’t pull it at all.
Seeing that the fastest bandit had reached them, a warhorse raised its hoof and kicked the man down.
The bandit rolled out like a rolling gourd, triggering countless traps along the way.
Before he even rolled to the bottom, he was already dead.
Du Guangjin was stunned.
He watched as if in a dream as the war horses took down the malicious bandits one by one with their hooves, and he was dumbfounded.
He is indeed the waste.
When a real fight breaks out, it turns out that the horse is more useful than him.
Du Guangjin suffered a severe blow to his heart.
It took less than half an hour to clear out such a bandit's den.
When everyone was on the road again, Du Guangjin finally calmed down.
He looked so devastated that he probably wouldn't be happy for at least a month.
This is just the beginning.
It took them a month to complete a two-day journey.
Any bandits with a bit of reputation along the way were quickly wiped out by these dozen people.
From the very beginning, Du Guangjin couldn't accept that he was a waste.
In the end, I felt that being a waste was not bad at all, as danger would never come to me.
This time, it was more like a trip to suppress bandits and pick up people rather than to pick up the Du family.
Lu Wanyin brought a group of people and, like a sharp blade, forcefully tore apart the balance that the wilderness had barely maintained.
From this moment on, the entire wilderness was completely disrupted by Lu Wanyin.

At the same time, the level of chaos in the imperial city was no better than that in the wilderness.
The Wang and Lu families, the two families that were about to receive the bride, were arguing fiercely while preparing for the wedding.
The Wang family accused the Lu family of breaking their promise, promising in public but then framing them behind their backs.
It's so shameless.
The Lu family scolded the Wang family for being ungrateful and even directing and acting out a show to throw dirty water on the Lu family.
The people in the capital were so excited about the excitement that they could eat two extra bowls of rice at each meal.
Di Qi was dressed as a guard and sat on the second floor of the restaurant with Hou Yuanji, looking at the Chenyang Marquis Mansion from afar.
The yard was filled with red silk inside and there were constant curses outside.
"It's really strange. This is the first time I've seen a marriage go through despite being scolded to this extent."
Di Qi sighed: "You guys who play tricks on me are really open-minded."
Hou Yuanji smiled evilly and said, "They have no choice but to get married.
Lu Xiangrou's current reputation means she will definitely not find a better marriage. After finally catching the unlucky Wang Fugui, how could she let him go?
Now the eldest princess has also come forward to put pressure on the Wang family.
For some unknown reason, the Queen has been clinging to the Wang family, forcing Wang Fugui to rely on the Chenyang Palace for support."
The more Hou Yuanji spoke, the more he couldn't hide the smile on his face: "Hahahahahaha... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that someone as proud as Wang Fugui would also sell himself for fame."
Di Qi's mouth twitched.
I always feel that this statement is a bit weird, but I can't tell what's wrong.
This Hou Yuanji is really full of evil intentions.
The Chenyang Marquis Mansion was filled with joy.
Lu Xiangrou, wearing a wedding dress, turned around in front of Madam Lu and said, "Mom, does it look good?"
“It looks good.”
Madam Lu's face was filled with joy: "Rou'er, you must seize the opportunity when you marry him this time. It is said that Wang Fugui doesn't even have a concubine except you. Now you are just a concubine, but there is always a chance that you can become the mistress of the Wang family. Then, your mother will have face in the Chenyang Marquis's mansion."
Lu Xiangrou lowered her head shyly: "Mother."
Her cheeks flushed.
If it weren't for that hideous wound, she would really be a pretty beauty.
Only those who were present that night knew the reason why the Queen targeted the Wang family.
Although Marquis Chenyang noticed that something was wrong between the Queen and the Wang family, after worrying about it for a few days, he simply put it aside.
The Wang family has stood for many years, how could it fall so easily?
It was just the right opportunity to provide timely assistance and bring the Wang family to his side.
Marquis Chenyang was in a very good mood: "Where is the betrothal gift sent by the Wang family?"
He can also get a large betrothal gift for this wedding.
There is simply no better deal than this.
