"Master, I was incompetent and let that man escape."
The man was agile and was located quite far away from them. In addition, he was very familiar with the terrain in the surrounding area, so it was very easy for him to escape.
He and his men have not been able to track down the other party. Perhaps he has escaped by taking a shortcut, or is still hiding in this forest.
Anyway, the man was not caught.
Xiao Lichen had anticipated this. He said to Qingzhu, "It can only be said that the other party has been prepared for this. Take your men to arrange for those private soldiers and lead them back to the valley where they originally set up camp. Send some people to guard them."
Wait for people from Beijing to come and take over everything here.
Investigate and arrest the person behind the scenes, and report to His Majesty and see what arrangements are made in the capital.
If this matter is exposed in the court, it will surely serve as a warning to others.
In order to avoid being traced back to him, the person behind the scenes must be very careful to hide and try not to be discovered by the Xiaoyu Guards.
Qingzhu stood up and took people to arrange these private soldiers located at the bottom of the steep slope.
As for the issue of a large number of children being abducted and sold, he secretly sent people to Lingzhou in the northwest to continue investigating.
[Hurry to the capital. Located in Cuiyun Mountain, just outside the capital, there is a secret guard camp set up by the Sixth Prince, King Han!]
[These secret guards he had secretly trained killed many loyal ministers and generals in the court two years after the emperor's illness. He thought it would be a good idea to wipe them out while they were still young.]
Tao Yuwei decided to find a way to let Xiao Lichen and the others discover the traces of those secret guards when they reached the outskirts of Beijing.
After discovering that there are private soldiers here, it is not surprising to find that someone is secretly training a secret guard camp.
Humph, no matter who is behind this, the secret guard camp trained in the suburbs of Beijing was instigated by the Sixth Prince, and there is no way he can escape this.
After hearing this, Xiao Lichen glanced at Tao Yuwei, who was sitting on the grass with her eyes closed. There was no expression on his face.
"You all go back to the valley together, wait for half a day to get ready and rest, then follow me back to the capital!"
After hearing his words, everyone's tense mood finally relaxed.
After hearing this, Guo Buyan looked a little unhappy.
They were all going back to Beijing, but he was ordered to go back to his hometown in the northwest to study. At this moment, he didn't want to go back at all.
"Let's not go back to the Northwest. Let's go back to Beijing with Anle and the others. If the elders at home ask about it, put the blame on me."
The guards of the Guo family didn't want to go back to a remote place like the northwest, so they all nodded in agreement.
At this time, Tao Yuwei opened her eyes. She stood up and walked to Song Lele and the other children. "Let's go back to the tent in the valley, take a nap first, and then come home with me!"
These children's faces were filled with excitement, crying and laughing.
It was wonderful that they would be able to go home soon.
"Don't cry anymore. Don't worry, Princess Anle and I will take each of you home."
Guo Buyan walked to Tao Yuwei and comforted the children.
Xiao Lichen frowned and turned the wheels of the wheelchair with his own hands. He didn't want to stay here and wanted to go down the steep slope.
When Liu Tao saw this, he thought of his own princess and their people. It was only because Xiao Lichen brought people to rescue them in time that they were able to quickly deal with those black-clad killers.
He is everyone's savior. Since Prince Xiao is unable to move around easily, it is only right for him to go up and lend a hand.
"Prince Xiao, I'll take you down."
As Liu Tao came behind him, Zhang Hu followed. The two of them easily lifted Xiao Lichen and walked down the steep slope.
Tao Yuwei followed behind, looking at Xiao Lichen's back, feeling a little annoyed.
Everyone returned to the valley behind the mountain.
Tao Yuwei brought these people with her, and with Qingzhu's help, they chose a few clean tents and went in to rest.
Xiao Lichen is quite busy and has no time to rest.
He also needed to know how many private soldiers and supplies there were in the valley, and he needed to count and figure out all the information in the valley.
And at this moment, in a dense forest somewhere in the northwest leading to the capital.
Xiao Chengyan stood there with a gloomy expression, his dark single eyelids drooping, looking down at the person kneeling in front of him.
"My Lord, everything in Funiu Mountain has been discovered by the Xiaoyu Guards. It was Mou Wuneng who shot and killed Zhang Shanxi before escaping."
Military advisor Qiu Ling knelt on the ground guiltily, never raising his head.
