I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Chapter 290: Going up the mountain to suppress bandits

The emperor ordered the transfer of 30,000 elite troops from the capital, led by Leng Yifei, to participate in the bandit suppression.

No matter how many years the bandits have been rampant, or no matter how well they hide, the emperor has spoken, and it is certain that these bandits’ death is near.

These elite soldiers who arrived overnight surrounded Gongjiling in an instant.

When Yuan Batian, the bandit leader of Gongjiling, heard the news, he was furious.

"This is outrageous! This dog emperor wants to overthrow our lair. Brothers, grab your weapons and prepare for battle."

The bandits standing below raised their swords and knives and shouted loudly.

"Kill...kill...kill..."

Jinyu and Jinyan, who were thrown into the cell, shrank back in fear when they heard the sounds of fighting outside.

The two bandits who had been guarding the cell realized that something had happened outside, so they grabbed their weapons and ran out.

"Brother, is there something wrong outside?"

"It seems so. Jinyu, don't move. I'll use my teeth to bite the rope on your hand, and then we can run away in the chaos."

"Okay, be careful."

Jinyan slowly moved his buttocks, slowly moved his head closer to Jinyu, then bit the rope tied to her hands and untied it bit by bit...

This process took them a long time. Jin Yan was sweating profusely and seemed to have used up all his strength...

In order to avoid any unexpected situations later, Su Yi and others suggested that Leng Yiyan and Luo Nianxi wait at the foot of the mountain while Prince Duan led his men to rush up the mountain.

After much deliberation, in order to avoid burdening everyone, they agreed to the proposal.

The shouting and screaming outside was getting more and more intense. Blood was already flowing from the corners of Jinyan's mouth. He didn't dare to stop, and he couldn't stop.

He had to make sure to escape from here as quickly as possible, otherwise, anyone could know what might happen in this bandit's lair.

Finally, he untied the ropes tied around Jinyu's hands. After Jinyu broke free, he untied the ropes around her feet, and then untied the ropes around his hands and feet.

Just as they were about to get up and leave, the people in the cell next to them called for help.

"Little girl, save us, save us."

Looking at those helpless eyes, she looked at Jin Yan.

"Brother, let's save them!"

Although Jin Yan was very tired, he nodded and ran with her to the door of the cell where these people were. He found the keys left on the table by the two bandits, opened their cell doors one by one, and then led them to the door.

The people detained here are all young men. The purpose of these bandits detaining them is to demand ransom from their families.

Some people have good family conditions and can pay the exorbitant ransom demanded by the bandits, and their people can go back.

Those who stayed behind were so poor that they could not even afford to eat, so how could they afford to redeem themselves from the bandits? Therefore, they were kept in prison, with the longest being three years.

Because these people have been detained in the cells for a long time and are malnourished, their complexions look bad and they seem to have no strength in their bodies.

They followed Jinyan and Jinyu, not daring to say a word, all wanting to leave here smoothly under their guidance.

Jinyan looked out through the cell door and saw the bandits and soldiers fighting each other.

He turned around and whispered to Jinyu:

"Someone from the government is coming. Let's stay here and see what's going on outside."

"Brother, could these people be sent by our parents?"

“It’s not certain yet…”

At this point, he suddenly shouted,

"Jinyu, look quickly, that seems to be Third Uncle..."

Jin Yu frowned and looked in the direction of his finger, then saw Leng Yifei fighting with Yuan Batian.

When they were captured last night, they had already met Yuan Batian, who was the leader of these people and an extremely cruel and brutal man.

After they found out their home addresses, they threw them into the cell. They had been hoping to ask their parents for some money, but they didn't expect the officials to come today to suppress the bandits.

"Jinyu, Third Uncle must be here to save you."

At this moment, someone came to open the door. Jin Yan was so scared that he took a few steps back, and then he heard the person outside calling:

'Jinyu, are you in there?'

She was not familiar with the voice, so Jinyu quickly leaned over to look.

The woman in front of her was wearing a black veil, so she couldn't tell who she was.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

The woman in black veil looked at Jinyu and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She is Jinyu's biological mother, Mo Xiaowan. It turns out that more than ten years ago, she had always known that Jinyu and Leng Rujing lived together, and she had been secretly paying attention to her. Knowing that everything was fine with her, she did not dare to disturb her, thinking that it would be good to let her live a quiet life.

But when she went to see her again yesterday, she found that their house was empty. After asking around, she learned that they had gone to Gratitude Temple. When she passed Gongji Ridge, she learned that the emperor personally led people to attack Gongji Ridge. When she saw Leng Rujing and Guo Wei in the crowd, she immediately guessed that the two children might have been captured at Gongji Ridge.

She went down the back mountain to Gongzhuling and found the location of the cell, which led to the scene just now.

But her daughter didn't recognize her, and she had never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother in the past decade. How could she have the face to tell her now that she was her biological mother?

"I'm your mother's friend. Your mother asked me to take you away from here."

"My mother's friend? Is my mother here?"

"Yes, she is at the foot of the mountain. I will take you to find her now."

Just as Jinyu was about to go out, he was stopped by Jinyan.

"Jinyu, we don't know if she is a friend or foe, so we can't trust her. Now our Third Uncle has sent people to attack us, so let's go find him!"

After saying that, Jin Yan directly pulled Jin Yu, passed her, and ran towards Leng Yifei.

"Jinyu..."

She called out, and Leng Yifei, who happened to be fighting with Yuan Batian, heard it. He glanced over here, causing his men to move a little slowly, and he was immediately stabbed in the arm by Yuan Batian's sword.

Seeing Jinyu and Jinyan running towards him, he quickly raised his hand to stop them.

"do not come……"

Yuan Batian seemed to realize that these two children must have a relationship with the imperial court.

He immediately raised his sword and stabbed directly at Jin Yu who was closest to him.

Mo Xiaowan, who was following behind them, only had time to call out,

"Jinyu, be careful..."

She stood in front of Jinyu. At the same time, Leng Yifei also rushed over and stood in front of Mo Xiaowan...

Jinyu was fine, Mo Xiaowan was fine, but Leng Yifei was stabbed by Yuan Batian's sword.

"Leng Yifei..."

Mo Xiaowan supported him and called out hurriedly,

"Leng Yifei, why did you come here? Can't you let me do something for my daughter?"

Hearing this, Jinyu froze in place.

Just when Yuan Batian was about to rush over again, Su Yi and Jiang Hai landed in front of him and fought with him.

Jinyu came to Leng Yifei, looked at him covered in blood, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Jinyu, this is your mother, your dear mother."

Mo Xiaowan took off the black veil on her face and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

"Jinyu, I'm sorry that I was absent from your growth."

Jinyu didn't know what to do for a moment. She had been searching for ten years just to find her mother.

Now, her mother is right beside her, but she doesn't know what to do.

Suddenly, two more bandits rushed over, pointing swords at Jinyu. When she was unaware, Mo Xiaowan used all her strength to push her away, and then the sword stabbed directly into her chest.

This scene made Jinyu at a loss, and Jinyan was so scared that he kept shouting,

"Hurry up, help, help!"

At this time, Leng Rujing and Guo Wei, who had just killed several bandits, rushed over, beat them to the ground, and quickly came to Jin Yan and Jin Yu.

"Are you guys okay?"
