Phoenix in the sky

Chapter 197 Meeting a Bandit on the Road ([-])

After a day and a night, Leng Yue and the others came to Hutou Cliff, a place hundreds of miles away from the capital.

There are high mountains and dense forests, with cliffs on both sides, and an official road passes through it like a thin and curved jade belt.

The sound of crows was bursting, and it was not a good place to hear it.

Leng Yue, who was sitting in the car, suddenly felt a bad breath, put down the book and lifted the car curtain to look out.

The green shade was deep, and apart from their team of people on the road, there was only the sound of crows.In this situation, Leng Yue suddenly remembered a movie she had seen, in which there was a scene in a dense forest, amid the sound of crows, danger was approaching, the protagonist was besieged, and he narrowly escaped death.

"Where is the front?" Leng Yue asked Ying who was driving the car in front, feeling that this is not a good place.

"Tiger Head Cliff"

"What? This is Hutou Cliff." Leng Yue had only heard about this place from Mrs. Murong not long ago.

What I just don't understand is why the imperial court allowed this place to exist, and why they didn't send troops to clean it up. The bandits are also a kind of harm, no harm but no benefit.

"Your Excellency knows this place?" Ying was a little surprised, ever since he became Leng Yue's coachman, he always called Leng Yue an adult in front of outsiders.

Although Hutou Cliff is the only way to go to Jiangnan, Ying knows that Leng Yue has never been to Jiangnan. Although there is also a sub-helm of the Beggar Gang in Jiangnan, but because Leng Yue is rarely out, she has never been there.Hearing Leng Yue's tone just now, it seemed that he knew there was such a place, which had to be surprising.

"I heard people say it not long ago, it doesn't seem to be a peaceful place." Leng Yue heard Ying's surprise and explained.

"Your Excellency is right. This is a place where bandits haunt. In the past, business travelers were often robbed and killed. Therefore, if many business travelers have to pass through this place, they will follow behind the bodyguard bureau or hire someone to pass by with bodyguards. "The video shows that Leng Yue still doesn't know much about this place, so it's rare to explain to him patiently.

"It's no wonder that there were almost no business travelers in the past, that's how it is. It's just why the court didn't send people to suppress the bandits?" Leng Yue finally asked the doubts in her heart.

"My lord, it's not that the imperial court didn't send people here, but that every time they not only suffered heavy losses, but also returned without success, so over time, they acquiesced to this place. Turn a blind eye, close a blind eye." Ying didn't expect The head of the clan would ask such idiotic questions. No one wants to kill this gang of bandits more than the imperial court, but they must have the ability.
