Hearing this, Leng Rujing closed her eyes, exhaled heavily, and then roared,

"Catch this woman."

Guo Wei heard this and tried to dissuade him.

"Jing'er, if the child who fell off the cliff is really our son, then she is our benefactor and we cannot arrest her."

"Shut up."

Leng Rujing raised her head and looked at him with cold eyes.

"It's still unclear whether what she said was true or not. I suspect that she deliberately deceived us and took the opportunity to lure the officials up the mountain to annihilate us in one fell swoop. Are you still confused today?"

Guo Wei was speechless for a moment.

At this time, someone else came to report,

"Valley Master, this is bad. A large number of soldiers have surrounded us. What should we do?"

Hearing this, Leng Rujing's face turned pale. She turned back to look at Luo Nianxi, questioning with cold eyes,

"You brought them here, didn't you?"

Luo Nianxi endured the pain for Si Jin and looked at her with stern eyes.

"Leng Rujing, it's time to mend your ways. Don't do evil again. I heard that you robbed many boys and took them up the mountain. Where are they?"

"Humph, this has nothing to do with you. Come, arrest her."

After saying this, Leng Rujing pulled Guo Wei and left quickly.

Luo Nianxi did not resist and allowed the two women in black to come forward and tie her hands behind her back.

Before leaving, she looked back at the place where Si Jin fell off the cliff, feeling indescribable pain in her heart.

She was not sure whether Si Jin was safe or not. She had to go down the mountain as soon as possible and find the bottom of the cliff where Si Jin fell. She would find him no matter whether he was dead or alive.

Leng Jin had already led his men to surround the Valley of Death. Several women in the Valley of Death were holding swords and confronting them.

When Luo Nianxi was escorted in front of everyone by two women, there was no sign of Leng Rujing and Guo Wei.

When Leng Jin saw her, he held a long sword and pointed it at the two women in black who were controlling her.

"Do you know who this person in front of you is?"

The two women looked at each other, frowned, and said nothing.

Leng Jin raised his voice again to remind,

"She is the Princess of Yan, a lady of the first rank personally appointed by the Emperor. If you dare to touch her, none of you will be able to leave here alive."

Luo Nianxi also looked at the other men in black at this time and reminded them coldly,

"It seems that your valley master has already abandoned you and run away. What's the point of you still resisting here?"

As soon as she said this, the women couldn't wait to look around. When they confirmed that Leng Rujing and Guo Wei were really not here, they were all panicked and at a loss.

Leng Jin took this opportunity to wave the sword in his hand and shouted angrily:

"If you have not committed murder or arson, then put down your butcher knives and hand over all the children you have imprisoned here, and I will ensure your safety."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman volunteered to raise her hand.

"I know where those kids are, just follow me."

Hearing this, Leng Jin waved his arms, led a group of people, and followed the woman.

At the same time, the two women who controlled Luo Nianxi also loosened their hands, threw down the swords in their hands, and knelt on the ground.

After a while, the dozen or so imprisoned little boys were released one by one. Luo Nianxi walked forward and took a closer look. Among these children, her Si Jin was not among them.

It seems that the child who fell off the cliff really weighed four pounds.

She didn't have time to say hello to Leng Jin and ran straight down the mountain.

Leng Rujing and Guo Wei took a shortcut down the mountain. They were the only two people who knew this road in the entire Death Valley.

Walking on the road, Guo Wei couldn't help but remind,

"Jing'er, where are we going?"

"Go to the master."

"Master told you not to do evil, but you didn't listen and insisted on setting up this Death Valley. If you go to him now, will he pay attention to you?"

"Then where did you say you were going?"

Guo Wei shook his head in embarrassment.

"I don't know, maybe I can go back to my hometown..."

"No return……"

There was anger and impatience in her tone.

The two of them walked along a path, passed through a weedy forest, and soon came to a place that looked very secluded and hidden. There were two mud and thatched houses.

As soon as the two of them entered the yard, they couldn't wait to shout:

"Master, Master's Wife..."

It turned out that the old couple who rescued Si Jin at the foot of the mountain that day were Leng Rujing's master and his wife.

At this time, the master's wife was in the room, patting Si Jin on the bed to help him sleep. When the master heard the sound, he came out with a cold face.

When he saw Leng Rujing, he snorted coldly.

"What are you here for?"

Leng Rujing took two steps forward and knelt on the ground. Seeing this, Guo Wei also knelt down.

"Master, I am here to admit my mistake. I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed you."

"Humph! Are the soldiers here to suppress the bandits and you have nowhere to go?"

Leng Rujing lowered her head feeling a little guilty after hearing what her master said.

At this moment, the master's wife came out of the house. When she saw Leng Rujing, she immediately scolded her:

"Get out and don't come to my house. The old man and I live a quiet life. Don't disturb us. Just pretend you don't recognize us."

"Master's wife, I was wrong. I am here to admit my mistake to you and Master."

As she spoke, she kept bowing her head and talking non-stop.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong."

The sound of her voice woke up Si Jin who was in the room.

He quietly got out of bed, walked to the bedside, and looked out through the crack in the window.

When he saw Leng Rujing and Guo Wei kneeling outside, he immediately raised his hands to cover his mouth and took two steps back in horror.

He didn't expect that the two people who saved him were the same person as the master of the Valley of Death.

It seemed that he could not stay in this place any longer and he had to find a way to escape.

Thinking of this, he tiptoed to the window, thinking of opening it and escaping through it.

But the window was too small. It could only accommodate his head but not his body.

He ran to another window, luckily, this one was big enough.

He hurriedly brought a table and a stool...

The noise in the house startled the old woman. She turned around hastily, but only saw Si Jin's feet. She shouted in haste,

"Old man, hurry up, the kid ran away."

Hearing this, Leng Rujing seemed to react and rushed into the room like crazy, asking impatiently,

"Master's Wife, you mean a child? Which child? What kind of child?"

The master's wife didn't have the energy to explain to her at this time. She just waved to the old man.

"Hurry, he ran to the back hill, where there are wild boars!"

Hearing this, the old man slapped his thigh in fear and ran straight to the back mountain. Leng Rujing grabbed Guo Wei's collar and cried with joy.

"Did you hear that? There is a child. That must be the child who fell off the cliff. Go find him, go find him."

It was only at this time that Guo Wei realized that the child in his master's wife's room was most likely Si Jin who fell off the cliff.

The four of them ran towards the back mountain like crazy. At the same time, Sijin was running forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He didn't care about any danger now, he just wanted to leave here quickly.

"Child, stop..."

"Si Jin, stop right there..."

"Don't run, there's a wild boar pond ahead, it's dangerous..."
