"Done. I've set the location not far from the city gate. Third Brother, move all those people here, and then you can all go with them."
Jing Le gave all the antidote medicine she was holding to the Third Prince and continued, "This is the antidote."
"We've all left, what about you?"
The Third Prince took the antidote and looked at Jing Le with concern.
Duan Feibai said directly, "I'll go with Lele. Third Brother and Ninth Brother will go first."
The Ninth Prince was a few months older than Duan Feibai, so he addressed Jing Le as such.
The Ninth Prince, who had been beaten to it, was displeased. He also wanted to be with his sister, but now was not the time to be emotional, so he silently walked to the Third Prince's side.
"Little sister, hurry up! Third brother and I will wait for you over there."
"Don't worry, I've received my master's true teachings and I'm very skilled. I'll come and join you after I blow this place up."
Jing Le patted her puffed-out chest, looking completely at ease, which made everyone laugh.
This instantly put the Third Prince's mind at ease, who had been somewhat worried.
"Then let's go over there and wait."
After saying that, he laboriously moved everyone to the side of the formation, and Jing Le led Duan Feibai out of the cave.
...
Fifteen minutes ago, Wu Erzhuang and Uncle Yuan led a group of people to deliver Jing Le and the others, along with the previous shipment, to the mountain outside the city.
The biggest bandit leader in the area lives on this mountain, and the surrounding mountains are all their territory.
They used to specialize in robbery, but ever since a strategist came to the mountain, they've started targeting children and women.
It just so happens that the strategist has connections with the government, which undoubtedly opens the door to convenience.
Otherwise, if you want to bring someone out of the city gate from the imperial city, you really can't get them out without bribing someone.
In recent years, the bandits in the mountains have made a fortune from their business dealings with women and children, and they are all living a life of luxury.
"Come on, we're all good brothers, let's drink this bowl together, and good days are just around the corner."
The bandit leader waved his hand, and the person pouring the wine immediately filled everyone's cups.
"Following the boss means you'll get to eat meat, cheers!"
The hall was bustling with noise, as if they were determined to drink until they dropped. Just as they were enjoying themselves, a cloud of white mist drifted in from outside and spread instantly. Before they could even figure out what was happening, they were already collapsed on the ground.
On the other side.
The Imperial Palace.
"You're saying that it was the third brother who took Lele and the others out of the palace, without any other people with him?"
Emperor Jing's anger was almost uncontrollable; his face was as black as ink.
"Your Majesty, the guards at the palace gate witnessed it with their own eyes."
Yingyi recounted everything he had found out.
Seeing the Emperor's dark expression, I couldn't help but feel a chill for the Third Prince.
What if something unexpected happens if you secretly take the emperor's favorite little princess out of the palace?
No wonder the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine were worried.
"Take people and secretly leave the palace to search."
Emperor Jing could only suppress his anger and give the order, while in his heart he was cursing the Third Prince to the bone.
Third brother, you just wait, I'll deal with you when I get back.
The Imperial Concubine, who had remained silent, shared the same thought as him.
...
The Ministry of Revenue's Office.
Little White was taken to the young lady's courtyard and put in a cage. After that, they didn't care about it anymore. She had been saying that she liked it very much, but it turned out that it was all a lie.
Seeing that no one was watching it, the white tiger simply swung its paw open the iron cage and came out.
He strolled leisurely outside, wandering around the Ministry of Revenue's residence.
Suddenly, they arrived at a courtyard, which was guarded by people. Xiao Bai knew at a glance that something was wrong. He concealed his presence and entered the courtyard, avoiding the guards' gaze.
Its strength has now reached the peak of the second tier of demon beasts, and it has learned how to use demon magic. This is all thanks to the secret manual that Jing Le gave it. It is expected that it will soon be able to advance to the third tier and speak human language.
He leaped onto the roof and hid under the moonlight.
The claws easily pried open the tiles, revealing the scene inside.
"How are things going? Has the Prime Minister sent any message?"
The Minister of Revenue asked the man in black.
"The arrangements have been made. We will definitely be able to deal with Yuan Zhengqi this time. The Prime Minister has instructed us to prepare the silver, and we have already arranged to intercept him on the way."
The man in black was indeed the one sent to assassinate Yuan Zhengqi that day. He was clearly dead, but he came back to life the next day. He was a complete failure in his mission.
This time, he was determined to cut off Yuan Zhengqi's head and see if he could come back to life.
"Very well, you can leave now."
At that moment, neither of them knew that the white cat above them could hear every word they said.
While eavesdropping, Xiao Bai was actually mentally complaining to Jing Le:
"Master, the Minister of Revenue and the Prime Minister are planning to have someone intercept the silver. They say they've already arranged for people to wait on the road, and they're even saying they'll cut off Yuan Zhengqi's head this time."
...
On the mountain not far outside the city.
Jing Le was leading Duan Feibai to their base camp.
"Brother Feibai, let's find out where their storeroom is first. These people must have done a lot of evil. Let's empty their treasure vault first, and then destroy this place."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Duan Feibai followed closely behind Jing Le. After searching for a while, the two finally found the storeroom, which was filled with gold and silver jewelry. It was comparable to the emperor's private treasury. Jing Le even found official silver inside.
It was still a large amount of official silver, a full ten boxes.
If you've considered the lost silver during the disaster relief efforts in the storyline, and there's anything else you don't understand, it's all here.
