The team marched out of the capital and headed west.
At the same time, at Chen Tian’s residence.
"You bastard, you actually dared to ruin my plan, damn it!"
In the antique living room, Chen Tian slammed his palm heavily on the table.
In an instant, the tabletop shattered into countless pieces.
“Ahem…”
Just after he vented his anger, Chen Tian suddenly became furious and couldn't help coughing violently twice. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and his body shook.
He was beaten by Chen Xuan. Although he took the elixir, his injuries only recovered a little. Now, due to his anger, his injuries relapsed.
"Why are you so angry, sir?"
At this time, a man wearing a black Taoist robe, a turban on his head and holding a feather fan walked in from outside the door.
When Chen Tian saw this person, he immediately changed his expression and hurried forward to greet him: "Mr. Sima, you are finally here!"
"I followed the ingenious plan you gave me and successfully framed that loser Chen Xuan and put him in jail..."
Chen Tian recounted what happened.
"The women I've taken a fancy to are excellent Ding slaves, especially the female disciple from the Snow Sword Sect. If she practices dual cultivation with me, I will be able to break through my current realm very quickly!"
"He actually dared to snatch the woman I liked. He deserves death!"
Sima Xiba smiled, and his gestures seemed to show a confidence that everything was under control. He smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Master Chen. I have already arranged people to handle this matter. Chen Xuan will not survive to the border. Also, I will send people to capture those women you like in good condition..."
The mountains are high and the road is long, and the ride is bumpy.
Li Xiuning, An Ruxue and other women were all sitting in the carriage, surrounded and protected by the people from the escort agency.
Chen Xuan himself was sitting in the carriage, chatting with Yang Xun, occasionally glancing at Yang Ying'er who was riding a white horse.
"Humph, what are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out!"
As if feeling Chen Xuan's gaze, Yang Ying'er snorted in dissatisfaction.
Yang Xun immediately reprimanded: "Ying'er, don't be rude!"
Although Chen Xuan is now a criminal, he is still a descendant of the Chen family, one of the three major families of the Dagan Dynasty. Yang Xun has to respectfully call him the Thirteenth Master.
What's more, Chen Xuan is now the financial sponsor of their escort company, so he should be respected out of both moral and legal reasons.
"Dad, who was rude? It was obviously him who was glaring! I was very polite by not taking action right away! Go!"
Yang Ying'er squeezed her legs against the horse's back and whipped the horsewhip. The white horse under her immediately raised its front hooves with a hissing sound and distanced itself from them.
"you……"
Looking at his daughter who was so arrogant and disobedient, Yang Xun felt helpless. He turned around and bowed to Chen Xuan apologetically.
"Master Thirteen, I failed to discipline my child properly. Please forgive me."
"Haha, no problem."
Chen Xuan smiled heartily without caring.
Yang Ying'er's rebelliousness not only did not disgust him at all, but he found the girl very cute.
[Ding!]
[Detected that Yang Ying'er's favorability towards the host is 1. 】
The system prompt sound suddenly sounded, and Chen Xuan was speechless. This damn girl, he obviously didn’t say anything bad about her, so how did he offend her?
The carriage continued on its way, only taking a half-hour break for lunch.
In the afternoon, the time between dawn and dusk.
"Master Thirteen, we have left the capital area and are about to enter the bandit mountain area."
The expression on Yang Xun's face suddenly became solemn.
Bandit Mountain is a notoriously dangerous place.
There are countless hills of all sizes here, and tens of thousands of bandits are lurking.
Whether it was a merchant caravan or a noble official passing through here, they had to pay a price and leave money for passage.
The imperial court had sent a large army to encircle and suppress this place.
However, the terrain of Bandit Mountain is complex, rugged and difficult to walk on, with many hilltops. Even the imperial army found it difficult to wipe out the bandits. Instead, they suffered considerable losses and had to retreat.
Even the imperial court was unable to do anything about it, so the bandits in Bandit Mountain naturally became famous.
Of course, after being besieged by the imperial court, Bandit Mountain was severely damaged, and the bandits inside were no longer as rampant as before.
If they encounter a large escort team, the bandits will not dare to rob them rashly.
The team led by Chen Xuan is already quite large, and all the people in the escort agency are strong men with superb martial arts. Even if they encounter bandits, the bandits will have to weigh whether to take action or not.
"There are dozens of bandit hills of all sizes in this bandit mountain. The larger bandit dens have thousands of people, and the smaller ones have hundreds of people."
"If we encounter a small bandit den, we don't have to be afraid of our men. Instead, it is the bandits who should be afraid of us."
"But if we encounter a large bandit den, then we'll have to worry!"
As Yang Xun spoke, his brows were already furrowed into the shape of a "川".
If Chen Xuan hadn't given him so much, he really wouldn't have been willing to take the escort on this trip.
"Then everyone be careful."
Chen Xuan's expression also became serious.
Logically speaking, Bandit Mountain is very close to the capital, so it should be peaceful and stable.
However, this place was plagued by banditry and the people living nearby were living in misery.
This reminded Chen Xuan of the Lion Camel Ridge in Journey to the West. The closer to the sacred mountain, the more corpses there were and the more blood flowed.
"Everyone, cheer up!"
Yang Xun's voice was loud and clear.
We have arrived at the most dangerous place!
"Everyone, rest here for a while, eat something, and recover your strength."
Chen Xuan suddenly said.
After all, they had been traveling for a whole day and everyone was a little tired.
