I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

"The Dark Chamber was established when my husband was a prince. Brotherly love is almost non-existent in the royal family. Ninth Prince Xiao Moxuan, Second Brother Xiao Moxuan, and Fifth Brother Xiao Mofei and I have been close since childhood, so the Dark Chamber is managed jointly by Second Brother and Fifth Brother.

When we leave the Jinsheng Dynasty, I intend to give the throne to my fifth brother, a man of great wisdom."

"My husband, please make the arrangements!" Su Yu'er hugged him back with heartache.

"When we return to the capital, I will take you to the Dark Pavilion and let Madam meet them, okay?"

"it is good."

While chatting, Su Yuer fell asleep.

Xiao Mohan looked at her lovingly, hugged her tightly and fell asleep together.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a noise outside.

Xiao Mohan frowned slightly and gently let go of Su Yu'er in his arms.

"What happened?" he asked in a low voice.

"Master, a large number of villagers have gathered at the village entrance ahead. I wonder what's going on?"

Hearing Xiao Moxuan's words, Su Yuer suddenly opened her eyes from her sleep.

Then, Su Yu'er stuck her head out and saw a large number of villagers gathered at the village entrance. Everyone was looking in the other direction, and she could faintly hear the sound of crying.

"Go up and have a look!"

Xiao Mohan said in a deep voice, it seemed like something had happened.

"drive!"

The guards drove the carriage towards the village entrance and arrived in just a few minutes.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the carriage and guards, all the villagers became alert and stared at Xiao Moxuan with murderous eyes.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Yu'er got off the carriage in advance. Rubing and Ruxin were already at her side. Xiao Mohan also got off the carriage shortly afterwards.

Seeing so many villagers at the village entrance, all looking at them warily, Xiao Moxuan couldn't help but say, "Don't misunderstand, we're just passing through here on our way to Lin'an City. I wonder what happened here?"

Su Yuer looked around and saw the messy village. She understood a little bit.

Judging from the situation, it is very likely that the village was attacked by bandits.

After hearing what Xiao Moxuan said, the crowd began to whisper, obviously not believing him.

After a while, a hunched, white-haired old man leaning on a cane walked tremblingly from the crowd to Xiao Mohan's front and said politely, "Dear guests, I am Ye Wujiu, the village chief of Shuangzhai Village. Bandits have just attacked the village and not only stole our money and food, but also kidnapped the young girls in the village."

After the village chief finished speaking, everyone had an expression of disgust and helplessness on their faces.

After hearing what the other party said, Su Yuer and Xiao Mohan were surprised. This bandit dared to burn, kill and loot in broad daylight. He was so bold and too rampant!

"Village chief, let's chase them! My daughter was taken away by them. That's my life!"

"That's right, Village Chief! They just left not long ago, we should be able to catch up with them.

Even if it costs me my life, I will save my wife!

"Let's go! Let's go back and grab our weapons! Let's fight our way up the mountain! Even if it means losing my life, I'll accept it."

At this time, at the entrance of the village, sobbing and cursing were heard continuously. The villagers were filled with righteous indignation and were extremely emotional.

Su Yuer looked at the chaotic scene in front of her and knew that if she didn't stop it in time, it would be difficult to get useful information from these villagers.

She made a decisive move and shouted, "Everyone, stop talking! Please listen to me! Since we have encountered such a thing, we will definitely not sit idly by.

Could you please tell us where these bandits came from?"

The villagers turned their eyes to her.

When he saw a group of guards following her, he was even more certain that they must not be ordinary people.

The villagers, who were originally in a panic, seemed to have found their backbone and their emotions gradually stabilized.

At the moment, they really have no other choice but to hope that Su Yuer and others can help them resolve this crisis.

Seeing this, Su Yuer struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Don't worry, we will do our best.

But the most important thing now is to understand the situation so we can come up with a response plan.”

When the villagers heard this, they immediately thought it was very reasonable and nodded in agreement.

A villager named Li Si walked up to Xiao Mohan and Su Yuer and told them what had happened in detail.

Through Li Si's description, Su Yuer and the others finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that this group of bandits had been entrenched in Changliu Mountain and often came down the mountain to rob the villagers of their property. Not only did they steal a large amount of money and food, they also injured many villagers. Even more abominable was that they also kidnapped young girls from the village.

After listening to Li Si's narration, Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan looked at each other, with a hint of solemnity in their eyes.

Xiao Mohan asked curiously, "Why didn't you report this to the police?"

After hearing what Xiao Mohan said, Li Si sneered and said sarcastically, "Report to the police? How can we afford to do that? If we don't have money, I'm afraid we can't even enter the county government office."

"That's right. Bandits are rampant now. We can barely make ends meet. How dare you report to the authorities? These officials don't have any benefits, so how can they possibly serve the people?"

At this point, the villagers spoke again, with a hint of helplessness and hatred in their tone.

After hearing what the villagers said, Xiao Mohan frowned and said nothing.

He thought to himself that although the Jinsheng Dynasty seemed prosperous on the surface and the people had no worries about food and clothing, it was actually not peaceful.

Officials were corrupt, banditry was rampant, and the people lived in poverty.

In such an environment, it is no wonder that these villagers have lost confidence in reporting to the police.

Xiao Mohan's face was gloomy. How dare the magistrate of Ningyuan County conceal this matter!

What exactly does the Ningyuan County magistrate want to do?

Xiao Moxuan quickly walked to Xiao Mohan's side and said in a low voice, "The magistrate of Ningyuan County is named Zhang Hui. He is the nephew of Zhang Mo, the Minister of the Imperial Household Department, and was promoted by the Prime Minister himself."

"Zhang Hui?" Xiao Mohan snorted coldly.

"No matter who promoted him, as long as he did something to let down the court and the people, he must be eliminated." At this moment, Su Yu'er had quickly come to their side.

As the emperor of the Jinsheng Dynasty, Xiao Mohan naturally could not sit idly by and watch this matter.

"How about this, Mo Xuan, you lead some people to sneak into the county government office and observe what Zhang Hui will do. I'm worried that they may have colluded with the bandits.

I will go to Changliu Mountain with Yu'er to rescue the abducted women."

"Master, this won't do!

How can I feel at ease if you two go to the bandits' lair?" Xiao Moxuan widened his eyes anxiously.

"If you follow us, it will only slow down the speed at which we draw our swords." Su Yuer said without hesitation.

Suddenly, Xiao Moxuan was fed up. He looked at Su Yuer unconvinced, "Humph! In the future, I will become a master like you."

Su Yu'er didn't care about his dissatisfaction.

She walked quickly towards the villagers and said firmly, "We will set off immediately to Changliu Mountain to rescue the abducted girl. We only need the villagers to lead the way. If others follow us, it will only cause trouble.

I promise! I will bring everyone back safe and sound."

After hearing this, the villagers still felt a little uneasy.

A villager said anxiously: "Changliu Village is located on Death Ridge, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Because of this, the bandit problem in the Death Ridge area was the most serious in the entire Jinsheng Dynasty. Even the government soldiers were reluctant to search the mountain, causing the bandit problem to become increasingly rampant.

Su Yu'er's eyes were firm, and she said decisively, "Please trust us. We will ensure that everyone returns safely."

These villagers are all Xiao Mohan's people. Since they have encountered such a thing, they should wipe out the bandits on Death Ridge in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, Xiao Moxuan led a group of people and secretly rushed to the county government office of Ningyuan County to conduct an in-depth investigation of Zhang Hui.

The other part of the people stayed in the village.

At this moment, Li Si stepped forward and offered to lead the way for them. It turned out that his daughter had been abducted by the bandits, and he was extremely worried and wanted to rescue her.

Li Si, Xiao Mohan and Su Yuer chased the bandits in the direction they left.

Before long, they finally arrived at the foot of Changliu Mountain. "Master and Madam, Changliu Mountain is just ahead. I'm guessing the bandits must have already gone up the mountain. We need to speed up, otherwise, it will be troublesome once they return to Changliu Village."

Xiao Mohan and Su Yuer looked at each other.

At this point, Li Si was no longer needed to lead the way.

Su Yuer knocked Li Si unconscious with her hand and then returned to the space.

Xiao Mohan gathered his spiritual energy, and a powerful spiritual power emanated from his body. He hugged Su Yuer's waist, soared into the air, and flew towards Changliu Mountain.

the other side

In Changliu Village, the bandit leader brought the kidnapped girl back to the village.

With a smug smile on his face, he ordered his men behind him, "Lock these girls up for me and don't let them run away."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind a group of terrified girls.

"Yes, boss." The bandits responded in unison.

These poor girls were quickly locked in the cell and the door was locked tightly.

A bandit set his sights on a beautiful girl, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"It's so delicious. I haven't tasted it in a long time." He licked his lips and showed an obscene smile.

Another bandit echoed: "I'll try it first, hahahaha..."

In the cell, the girls huddled together in fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their eyes revealing helplessness and despair.

The two bandits could no longer suppress their inner desires and rushed forward to open the lock, ready to stretch out their evil hands to the girls.

"Ahhh..." The girls screamed in terror! Faced with these two ferocious bandits, they were filled with despair.

At this moment, the bandit leader suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he turned back to the cell and saw the scene in front of him.

His face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Stop it, everyone! If anyone dares to do anything wrong, I will chop him into pieces with a knife."

The bandit leader's roar frightened the two bandits so much that they trembled all over and quickly stopped what they were doing.

"Boss! I won't dare anymore! I won't dare anymore!"
