Chapter 1175 Clearing the checkpoints and continuing forward
No one in black dared to answer Leng Rongyue's question; if they didn't dare to answer, they could only pretend to be mute.
Leng Rongyue didn't expect them to answer, and continued to say, "Therefore, this kind of place cannot be left, it must be cleaned up!"
As for your accomplices who were capturing laborers outside the mountains, they have already been dealt with by us!
As the first line of defense for the rebels guarding the gold mine, you must naturally be eliminated!
As for the second and third levels inside, as well as those mad dogs and vicious beasts on the gold mine, they all need to be cleared out in the end!
Those laborers who are trapped in the devil's den and suffering in it must also be rescued and allowed to see the light of day again!
Furthermore, Xun Zheng and his men, who refused to collude with that corrupt Prefect Zhu Gefu, were also the ones who absolutely had to be rescued!
Was my answer clear enough?
"Princess...Princess...Princess?"
"You are... a princess?"
Several men in black stared at Leng Rongyue with wide, terrified eyes!
"The Princess Chengxian, bestowed by the Emperor himself, is the real deal!"
Leng Rongyue tilted her head and looked at the men in black in front of her.
"Then...then...and who is this person?"
A man in black glanced timidly at Xiao Jingyu, who stood with his hands behind his back beside Leng Rongyue.
"This one... is the only prince of the highest rank in Jingyue Kingdom, His Highness Prince Yu, the second son of the emperor!"
"What? Yu Yu... Prince Yu... Your Highness Prince Yu!"
"Clang..."
It was the sound of a steel knife hitting the ground.
"Thump thump..."
It was the sound of a knee hitting the ground.
Six of the seven men in black knelt down, while the third remained in the posture of drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.
"Oh!
It seems there really are people who are wholeheartedly following Zhu Gefu in his rebellion!
Knowing who's facing you, you still dare to point arrows at them; you've got some nerve!
Leng Rongyue coldly looked at the man in black who was clearly trembling with fear, yet was still drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.
"No, no, no... no... no!"
The little man... the little man is... is... is the arm... is the arm... and he won't obey me!
"It's not...it's not that I'm a petty person...daring to defy my superiors!"
The man in black stammered an explanation, his legs trembling as he tried to kneel, but his arms simply wouldn't obey him...
Just as he was kneeling with his legs bent, the bowstring suddenly slipped from his fingers, and the arrow flew straight toward Leng Rongyue!
No sooner said than done, Xiao Jingyu lunged forward, his movements faster than lightning, and grabbed the arrow that had been shot at Leng Rongyue!
Xiao Jingyu slowly lowered his hand that was holding the arrow, his eyes shooting towards the black-clad man who had fired the arrow with an icy gaze.
"No, no... Yu Yu... Prince Yu... Your Highness Prince Yu, I... I didn't... I didn't..."
Before the man in black could finish explaining, he was so frightened that he fainted!
The other six men in black were momentarily envious of the one who had fainted.
They were scared too!
But they didn't faint!
They knew perfectly well what crime their prefect had committed by secretly mining gold in Qilin Mountain, concealing it from the imperial court.
However, they acted as henchmen and thugs in Qilin Mountain.
The master is the principal offender, and they are the accomplices.
Even if there are powerful figures above Prefect Zhu Gefu, can any powerful figure be more powerful than the Emperor's own son and daughter-in-law?
At this moment, they all understood... Their master had ordered them to set up checkpoints one by one to guard the road from Qilin Mountain to the gold mine, but today, their guarding of this road had come to an end!
Compared to the six men in black who had previously arrested people outside the mountains, these seven men in black acted much more sensibly!
At this moment, they had no intention of resisting whatsoever.
Everyone in the entire Jingyue Kingdom knows that the only super-rank prince in the current Jingyue Kingdom is the beloved disciple of Master Lingxu of Ruoxu Peak, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable.
With just a few people like them, they are not even worthy of showing off their limited skills in front of His Highness Prince Yu!
Not to mention that they had just witnessed His Highness Prince Yu catching an arrow with his bare hands at such close range!
With His Highness Prince Yu possessing such extraordinary skills, what could they possibly do to him with just a few half-baked individuals, a few broken knives, and a few broken arrows?
The group unanimously chose not to resist and resign themselves to fate.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu didn't intend to waste any more time with these people.
This is just the first hurdle; they still have to continue deeper into the mountains.
Leng Rongyue immediately followed the prescription, and the mist spray once again proved effective.
All seven men in black instantly lost consciousness.
Leng Rongyue directly took the seven unconscious men in black into her spatial storage and threw them together with the previous hundred or so people.
Leng Rongyue then pulled Xiao Jingyu into the space to check, since the Crown Princess Fang Haoqing was still inside, so Leng Rongyue had to be extra careful.
After confirming that those who had been captured were still unconscious and that the gates and locks were all in good working order, Leng Rongyue teleported to the small building with Xiao Jingyu.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Fang Haoqing asleep on the sofa.
Fortunately, the space is always warm like springtime, so there's no fear of catching a cold.
However, after thinking for a moment, Leng Rongyue took a thin blanket and gently covered Fang Haoqing with it.
Afterwards, Leng Rongyue pulled Xiao Jingyu out of the space, and with two teleportations, they returned to where the carriage was parked.
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye sat leaning against the carriage door, holding a whip.
Du Feng remained obediently leaning against the carriage shaft, his eyes fixed ahead, without turning back or looking around... Very good!
Leng Rongyue lightly jumped onto the carriage and sat inside.
Xiao Jingyu sat on the carriage shaft again and drove the carriage on its way.
