Chapter 470
: Going to an Appointment The invitation detailed the specific location of the Jun family.
After receiving the invitation, Ling Fengxun brought An Yunxi to the Prince's Eastern Palace to discuss countermeasures with Baili Yunhe.
Baili Yunhe was still recovering from illness at this time.
Under An Yunxi's strong request, he finally put aside the messy affairs in the court and slept well in his own bedroom for two days.
There were only four people in the room.
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the teapot, smiled and nodded to Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi, then said: "I'll go make tea for you two, you guys chat first."
After leaving this sentence, she turned around and was about to leave. It was not convenient for her to stay here to listen to the important matters discussed by the Regent and the Crown Prince.
An Yunxi didn't mind, and smiled and said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Third sister-in-law, you don't have to be busy. It's not a big deal. You should sit down and listen first."
"Can I?"
Lin Xiaoxiao had a flattered expression on her face. One hand was still holding the teapot, and the other hand was pointing at herself. She stared at An Yunxi with her eyes wide open and shining.
An Yunxi smiled faintly: "Of course."
She walked to her side and pulled Lin Xiaoxiao to sit down at the table.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Baili Yunhe from the side. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no intention of sending her away, she was relieved. Her
eyes fell on the invitation. Facing such a big event, she couldn't say anything. She just sat there quietly and watched.
Baili Yunhe took the letter and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "The people I arranged did find the area near Broken Dragon Valley. I didn't expect that the Jun family was really there."
An Yunxi asked curiously: "What kind of place is Broken Dragon Valley?"
Baili Yunhe had obviously investigated this place a long time ago and described the scene there in detail.
"There are many cliffs and steep terrain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Few people dare to enter there alone. The whole mountain range looks like a long dragon cut in two, so it is called the Broken Dragon Valley. If you want to go, I will arrange a large army to escort you. I believe that the people of the Jun family will not dare to attack you."
An Yunxi glanced at Ling Fengxun.
In her heart, Jun Wuce is now imprisoned in the Jun family and must be suffering. He is waiting for his apprentice who left him a few years ago to save him from the water and fire.
Ling Fengxun looked serious. After taking out the topographic map prepared by Baili Yunhe for him and taking a look at the surrounding area, he nodded slightly.
"As expected of a hidden family, they are really well hidden."
Baili Yunhe nodded, and then said: "The reason why we didn't find this place before is because there are not many people from the Jun family who stay in the ancestral home. The vast majority of disciples and branches all live in the outside world, hidden in the market."
Ling Fengxun observed for a moment, considered the pros and cons, and nodded to An Yunxi.
"Since everything has been found out, let's go there. There is no need to arrange for people and horses. The three thousand soldiers and horses that I brought to Nanqi this time are still outside the city, so it's just right to take them with us."
Baili Yunhe's eyebrows jumped.
"Do you really plan to wipe out the Jun family in one fell swoop?"
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were full of danger.
"With this in mind, let's see what the Jun family thinks. Xier, let's go back and get ready. We'll set off early tomorrow morning to visit the Jun family."
Calculating the time, Jun Wuce left the border of Beiling when Ling Fengxun was eighteen years old.
Up to now, nearly ten years have passed, and the master and apprentice have not met again.
In particular, it was later found out that Jun Wuce had appeared in the capital more than ten years ago, and Xier looked somewhat similar to him, so it was guessed that he was most likely Xier's biological father.
Ling Fengxun also wanted to ask his master if he still remembered what happened in the capital of Beiling Kingdom.
After not seeing each other for several years, has his master ever thought about his apprentice who he picked up from the street and taught for three years? After
Lin Xiaoxiao and the others had said almost everything, he whispered: "My father knows several merchants who do business in Broken Dragon Valley. Tomorrow morning, I will ask my father to give you the maps he has sorted out and all the information he has found about Broken Dragon Valley."
An Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile at Lin Xiaoxiao and said: "Thank you for your help, Third Sister-in-law."
Lin Xiaoxiao blushed slightly and waved her hand: "It's good to be able to help, Princess, please don't be polite."
As the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, Lin Xiaoxiao and her father's connections in the capital should not be underestimated. Many information that is difficult for others to obtain is
easy The two set out from the Nanqi Imperial City, leading three thousand soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Nanqi Broken Dragon Valley.
Baili Yunhe and An Yunze did not go with them.
The Nanqi Emperor is now bedridden, and Baili Yunhe is preparing for the next coronation ceremony. He is preparing to be crowned emperor and sit on the throne a month later.
Let the Nanqi Emperor, the retired emperor, live out his days in the palace.
Broken Dragon Valley is a bit far from the imperial city. An Yunxi got on a carriage and walked for ten days with three thousand soldiers before finally reaching the destination.
The winter in Nanqi is not that cold, and some greenery can still be seen near Broken Dragon Valley. Although there are no flowers blooming like in summer, the scenery is also beautiful.
At the entrance of the valley, Yingfeng, who was exploring the way ahead, hurried back.
"Prince, Princess, there are members of the Jun family ahead, saying they want to personally welcome us into the valley!"
An Yunxi lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
Then she got off the carriage with Ling Fengxun beside her.
As soon as the two of them walked to the front of the team, they saw several young men wearing the robes of Jun family disciples walking towards them.
The leader was young, with a handsome face and a respectful smile on his face. "The head of the family asked me to wait here to welcome you two. The mountain road ahead is a bit difficult to walk on, and it is estimated that there is no way to let so many people enter the valley together. I wonder if the prince can let these soldiers guard outside the valley?"
Ling Fengxun raised his eyebrows slightly, but shook his head: "Then I will wait until everyone goes in, then I will go in. There is no rush."
"This..."
The young man was obviously embarrassed, but seeing that Ling Fengxun insisted on doing so, he could only nod and said: "Okay, the road in the canyon ahead is very narrow. You can leave the carriage first and ride over. The Jun family has everything, and you two don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Having said this, Ling Fengxun did not refuse anymore.
An Yunxi and Jun came over, each pulling a horse, and the two walked side by side behind the group of young people from the Jun family.
The walking process was very quiet. After riding through the narrow valley, everyone stopped and saw a cliff in front of them that looked like a natural cliff. The distance from here to the other side was a hundred meters away. The only way to pass through was a long bridge built with wooden ropes.
"The Jun family is an ancient martial arts family, so no matter whether men, women, old or young, they all know some martial arts. It is not difficult to walk across such a suspension bridge, but this suspension bridge has been in disrepair for a long time. If so many people pass through it at once, if it is damaged, it will be dangerous."
An Yunxi seemed to have a flash of inspiration in her eyes.
She said to the three thousand soldiers behind her: "Do you have a rope? Go up and reinforce the bridge, and then go across in groups of ten. Don't go with too many people. One thousand people will follow me and the prince into the bridge, and the remaining two thousand people will stay here. All actions will be subject to the signal from inside."
"Yes!"
The people behind responded in unison, and then entered the bridge in a very orderly manner according to An Yunxi's request.
It didn't take too much time for the thousand people to walk across the long bridge. Finally, Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi crossed the bridge with the young people of the Jun family.
The bridge surface was not very stable and swayed when the wind blew.
Ling Fengxun glanced at An Yunxi who was walking cautiously on the plank beside him, picked her up, and then made a few leaps and flew across the 100-meter-long bridge.
The young people of the Jun family were stunned.
