Si Yan climbed up the cliff with his bare hands and felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. Yun Li was standing under a tree, one hand on the hilt of the sword, looking vigilantly at the woods ahead.

"Is there someone?" Si Yan also sensed a dangerous aura around him.

There were faint noises coming from the woods, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

"Master, someone has been following us these days." Yun Li couldn't help but walk forward when he saw Si Yan.

"Do you know who he is?"

"Looks like... someone from the Bo family..." Yun Li had already sent someone to investigate, but they haven't returned yet.

He had a vague feeling that he was a hidden master of the Bo family, but he was different from those under Boya.

These people are sneaky and never show up, but they always keep an eye on their master.

Of course, it is also possible that he is targeting Mr. Bo.

"Someone from the Bo family?"

At this time, Boya climbed up with the rope. Hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but look around sharply.

Boya's face darkened. They actually chased him here.

Yun Li took over and said, "They are wearing the attire of the Bo family's hidden masters and have been following us secretly for several days."

Boya was silent for a moment: "Ayan, I'll go take care of it."

"Okay." Si Yan nodded.

As soon as she saw Boya's expression, she knew that this was an internal problem of the Bo family.

Boya left quickly and entered the woods. After a while, the dangerous atmosphere in the woods disappeared.

There was a forest above Zhouzi Cliff. Boya walked along a path in the forest for a quarter of an hour before stopping.

"Come out." Boya said to the people hiding in the woods.

"See the head of the family."

Suddenly, more than a dozen people walked out of the woods, led by two young people, a man and a woman.

The man was wearing a light white brocade robe and holding a sword in his hand. The woman was wearing light yellow clothes, had a baby face, and a pair of big watery eyes that blinked.

The two men bowed and saluted Boya.

Boya said coldly, "Do you still have eyes for me, the head of the family?"

The girl bit her lip lightly, and the man said, "Master, the elders asked Miss Wen and me to come and take you back."

Boya stared at the two of them expressionlessly: "Are you taking me back secretly?"

Seeing that Boya looked unhappy, the girl quickly said, "Brother Boya, don't be angry. I told Brother Boxu not to disturb you..."

Boya sneered, "You make the word 'stalking' sound so refreshing and refined."

The girl was about to cry when Boya scolded her.

Boxu couldn't help but say: "Master..."

"That's enough." Boya said sternly, "If I see you following this Patriarch and Lord Si Yan again, I won't let you off lightly."

The man opposite him looked gloomy. "Master, the elders are worried about your safety. They're worried about you being out there alone..."

Boya gave the order directly: "Come here, take these two back to the Bo family and put them in solitary confinement for a month."

The girl became anxious when she heard this and quickly said with a pout, "Brother Boya, I heard you were injured a while ago?"

"I heard?" Boya's eyes were sharp. "Who told you that?"

"..."

The girl pursed her lips and said nothing, looking at Boya with tearful eyes, "Brother Boya, if you don't go back, I won't go back either."

"Get started." Boya threw down a word and turned away.

Behind Boya, a group of hidden masters walked out quietly, and Boxu's face changed.

The girl shouted at Boya's back: "Brother Boya, Brother Boya..."

Boya walked out of the woods, sorted out all his emotions, and then walked towards Si Yan who was on the edge of the cliff.

On Zhouzi Cliff, many people have climbed up using ropes and are sitting on the edge of the cliff to rest.

Si Yan was talking to Sice, and after they finished, Boya walked up gently.

"Something happened to the Bo family?" Si Yan asked.

"It's a small matter." Boya smiled slightly.

There had always been problems within the Bo family. Last summer, he cleaned things up and things were peaceful for a while.

This time, it seemed that someone else was about to jump out.

Too many people covet the position of the head of the Bo family, and Bo Xu is one of them.

As for Wen Yue, she was someone the family forced upon him...

"If you encounter any difficulties, tell me. Don't forget, I am the one who holds military power..."

Si Yan knew that Boya, at such a young age, had become the world's richest businessman and the head of the most secluded family, and he must have faced a lot of pressure.

Just because Boya never says it doesn’t mean Si Yan doesn’t know it.

"I understand, Ayan."

Boya felt warm in his heart, and he suddenly realized that A Yan had unknowingly grown from the daughter of a prime minister to a person with great power.

The sound of horse hooves was heard behind the two of them, and Ling Mohan came with a group of people.

There was a carriage parked behind Ling Mohan, and the curtains were tightly covered, so it was impossible to see who was inside.

Ling Mohan and Boya greeted each other and walked straight to Si Yan.

When the two of them reached a secluded place, Ling Mohan spoke: "Ayan, my father sent a message. He has followed your orders and brought the 20,000 troops from Dingshan Pass to an ambush near Zhengcheng."

Zhengcheng is a city south of Yuzhou, surrounded by jungles and mountains, making it easy for soldiers to hide.

Although the original troops at Dingshan Pass were under Xin Qi's command, most of them were regular troops of Daxuan.

After they were taken over by General Ling, they had no connection with the rebels anymore.

General Ling not only successfully took over the rebels, but also returned the 15 million taels of silver that Yan Longyi had discovered.

"Okay." Si Yan nodded.

"Also, the 10,000 new recruits Xin Qi gathered have already arrived at the new recruit camp in Shangjing City and are being trained by Brother Qingshan."

"I see."

General Ling was indeed an experienced veteran. He single-handedly took over Dingshan Pass, leaving the rebels without a helping hand.

"Where is Xin Qi, the former defender of Dingshan Pass, now?" Si Yan asked.

"In the Zuowei Mansion Prison. If Ah Yan wants, he can bring him back anytime."

"Keep a good eye on Xin Qi, he will be useful in the future." Si Yan ordered.

This time, the rebels obviously did not intend to end the battle quickly, otherwise, they would not have stayed in Yuzhou for so long.

The rebels' troops in Yuzhou were not all of their troops. Many of them remained in the Xin family's base camp in Dingzhou.

The rebels did this so that they could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

If they really cannot capture Shangjing, they can also return to the Xin family base in Dingzhou.

The Xin family's base camp was guarded by Xin Hui, Xin Rui's half-brother, and Xin Qi was Xin Hui's son.

"I understand, Ayan." Ling Mohan nodded and looked at the carriage parked not far away.

"By the way, Ah Yan, as you instructed, I have brought King Hao of Beimang Kingdom here."

Ling Mohan knew that Ah Yan had a deep meaning behind keeping Di Hao.

Since King Hao was injured by Di Yulin that day, his personality has changed drastically and his temper has become much more irritable.

Si Yan walked towards the carriage and said, "Your Highness Prince Hao, please get off."
