Chapter 306 Private Soldiers at the Bottom of the Cliff

In the quiet night, two figures flew quickly towards Xiaoqingshan.

Ye Han glanced at Lin Shuyue, who was always walking parallel to him but looked relaxed. His heart moved slightly, and he quietly used his luck to speed up his pace.

Lin Shuyue, who was standing by, noticed his movements, and a hint of amusement flashed across her calm expression. Then, she quietly increased her speed, but still kept running parallel to Ye Han.

The two of them competed secretly until they reached the halfway point of Xiaoqing Mountain, and they still remained parallel.

Ye Han turned his head to look at Lin Shuyue who was standing beside him with a calm expression, and chuckled, "Miss Lin's martial arts skills have probably improved again. I am willing to admit that I am better than her."

"Ask, accept, accept."

Lin Shuyue's mouth curled up slightly, and then she tiptoed and was several meters away in an instant. Only her low whisper was left in the wind: "Master Ye, please follow me."

......

A quarter of an hour later, the two landed on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain.

Lin Shuyue pointed to the bottom of the cliff and said softly, "Master Ye, please look."

Ye Han stuck his head out to take a look, and saw a fire at the bottom of the bottomless cliff.

With the help of the firelight, he could vaguely see a simple house at the bottom of the cliff, and many figures walking around. Those people seemed to be holding something in their hands, some of which looked like the long wooden warehouses used by the army...

"This is?"

Raising private soldiers!

Ye Han's pupils shrank slightly, and a horrifying thought emerged in his mind.

Before he could come to his senses, he heard Lin Shuyue say again in a crisp voice: "This is Luoyun Mountain Range, just behind Xiaoqing Mountain. There is a valley between the two. Sir, why not go to the valley and take a look? There are still surprises."

".....Ms. Lin, why don't you just tell me what's going on in the valley?"

Ye Han felt a bit like he was having a heart attack. Surprise? Or maybe it was a shock.

Lin Shuyue stared at him and said, "My Lord, aren't you curious about where the mined iron ore goes?"

"So, in that valley?" Ye Han's heart skipped a beat and his expression became more solemn.

"Well, they are very smart. They dug a tunnel directly from Xiaoqing Mountain to the valley behind Xiaoqing Mountain. The mined iron ore is hidden there."

It should be said that the place chosen by the person behind the scenes was very good. According to Su Mu, there were many ferocious beasts in the depths of Xiaoqing Mountain, and the villagers around Xiaoqing Mountain were at most active on the periphery. If Lin Shuyue did not have the plug-in of spiritual awareness, it would be difficult for the Jinyiwei to discover her.

Although Ye Han had already guessed it in his mind, when the definite answer was placed before him, he was still upset. Privately mining iron ore, privately casting weapons, and raising private soldiers were clearly acts of rebellion.

As a close minister of the current emperor, he naturally knew that the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty was far from as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.

The mysterious poisoning of Empress Sikong in the palace, the mysterious disappearance of the young prince, the as-yet-unidentified mastermind behind Marquis Pingyuan's collaboration with the enemy, and the private soldiers at the bottom of the cliff in Luoyun Mountains, each and every one of these things is like a sharp blade hanging over the head of the Great Zhou. If one is not careful, the Great Zhou will fall into civil strife once again.

Ye Han took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. I will report it to His Majesty as soon as possible, and I will also send people to investigate."

After saying this, he bowed his hands and thanked her solemnly: "Ye thanks you again, young lady. Don't worry, I will report your contribution to His Majesty."

Lin Shuyue waved her hand and said, "Master Ye, you are too polite. I am also a citizen of the Great Zhou. Of course, I also hope that the court can be stable and not turbulent again, so that the people can live and work in peace."

Ye Han was slightly startled, then his expression softened. He said no more, and the two flew back to Fengcheng County.

Ye Han acted quickly. Within three days, Fengcheng's magistrate Ma Yuankun, Yunzhou's governor Wu Yong, and other officials involved in the case were secretly arrested. At the same time, a large number of troops quietly ambushed in Xiaoqingshan and Luoyun Mountains.

Late at night on the fifth day, the depths of Xiaoqing Mountain and the Luoyun Mountain Range became bustling. The imperial troops ambushed in the mountains acted quickly like gods sent from heaven, capturing all the men and horses at the iron mine, in the valley, and at the bottom of the cliff.

At the same time, in the capital, the dignitaries near Prince Huai'an's Palace watched in horror as Han Xiao, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, led the ferocious Embroidered Uniform Guard to surround Prince Huai'an's Palace overnight. They also watched Prince Huai'an, who was only wearing a white middle coat and had a dazed look on his face, and his family members in the palace being taken away.

That night, some people tossed and turned in bed, some were gloating, and some were indifferent, but everyone knew that the capital would be hit by a bloody storm.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Lin Shuyue who is far away in Fengcheng. After Ye Han and others left, she was also ready to continue her journey north.

The night before leaving, Su Mu, who had avenged his great hatred, came to the inn where Lin Shuyue was.

"Su Mu meets the master."

Su Mu threw aside his robe and knelt in front of Lin Shuyue with a very respectful attitude.

Lin Shuyue's eyes turned slightly, "Su Mu, do you still remember what you said in the manor?"

"Su remembers."

"Then you drink it."

After staring at him for a while, Lin Shuyue signaled Qinghe to bring the tea with the loyalty talisman in it to him.

"Yes."

Su Mu took the tea and drank it all without any hesitation.

Lin Shuyue nodded with satisfaction and picked up a box on the table and handed it to him.

"Su Mu, this is 200,000 taels of silver. I'll give you two years. I hope you can give me a satisfactory result after two years."

Her words made Su Mu's heart tremble, and then he was excited. He took the box and said solemnly: "Su Mu will definitely live up to the master's expectations."

After seeing Su Mu off, Lin Shuyue raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a faint smile. It felt really good to have someone helping her make money.

The weather in June changes like a baby's face. It was cloudy and raining heavily before, but the rain stopped and the sky cleared up in the blink of an eye.

"Sir, the rain has stopped!"

At the gate of the dilapidated temple, Qingzhi, dressed as a servant, was very happy to see the green after being washed by the rain.

Lin Shuyue came out holding Xue Bao, looking at the rainbow in the sky that was shining with colorful light after the rain, smiling, "Let's go, we will reach the next town in another fifty miles, and we should be able to get there before dark."

There were other passers-by hiding from the rain in the dilapidated temple. After hearing her words, they all stood up and prepared to continue on their way.

The next town was called Xinghua Town, and the sun had just set when we arrived at Xinghua Town.

Xinghua Town is a big town, and it is on the only way to the north. Many businessmen will settle here, so the town is very lively.

There are five or six inns in the town. As soon as you enter the town, several smiling young men come to solicit customers.

Lin Shuyue randomly picked an inn to stay in. After asking the waiter to bring hot water, the master and his two servants took a comfortable hot bath before going downstairs to have dinner.

At this time, there were several tables of people sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the inn. Judging from their attire, they were probably passing merchants.

At a table in the corner, two middle-aged men were flirting with a burly man with a scar on the corner of his eye.
