The prince is very cruel

"Well, you take your men and go ahead to Baihe Mountain to check out the situation, but don't alert the enemy."

"I'll bring someone with me later."

"When we get to Baihe Mountain, we'll discuss it in detail."

Yu Dilong nodded when he heard this: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

With that, he left.

Guan Ning looked at the mud on the ground after the rain. He should have been idle on a day like this, but the sudden news made him solemn.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ning left and went to the vicinity of Zhao's mansion to gather information. He even disguised himself as a water delivery driver and chatted with the servants of Zhao's mansion for a long time.

The information he finally got was basically the same as what Yu Dilong had said! It's worth mentioning that he also heard a piece of news he hadn't known before: the guards at the Zhao Mansion suddenly had many new faces!

This news made Guan Ning alert and he became more suspicious that this was Li Mi's conspiracy.

But he did not choose to retreat. After all, behind the risk lies the opportunity. If he did not kill Li Mi, he would not be able to sleep. If he did not kill Zhao Qing, there would be endless troubles.

As for the consequences, we'll talk about them later.

After returning home and informing Qin Yao, Guan Ning arranged all the family affairs and left quietly with ten people. In order to deal with Li Mi, who was born as a Taoist priest but also became a master of alchemy and poison, he even brought Bai Xiaosheng in.

As soon as he left the city, he led his men into the woods and waited there.

Just as night fell, as expected, the Zhao Mansion's convoy left the city in a huge procession. There were thirty carts of food, drinks and other daily necessities alone. The huge team gave people the impression that it was definitely not a joke.

And the people who escorted them were officers and soldiers from the capital, a total of 800 people, a very impressive formation!

If you look carefully inside, you will find that there are many black-clad guards around the Zhao Mansion's carriage, as many as a hundred people. Guan Ning tried hard to search for Li Mi, but did not see him. It is likely that he is inside the carriage.

After leaving the city, they headed south along the official road and headed for Baihe Mountain.

Because it is an official road, the road is flat and wide, and it will take at most seven or eight hours to walk 50 miles, and you will probably arrive in the second half of the night.

"Prince, it's too far away. I can't see clearly where those guards of the Zhao Mansion come from." Bai Xiaosheng suddenly muttered in the dark woods.

"When the enemy comes, we will stop him with soldiers and when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

"Come on, let's keep up. Don't be too close, and don't be too far." Guan Ning lowered his voice and walked out of the bushes.

"Yes!"

The crowd whispered from all corners of the darkness and followed closely behind.

The night is dark and a hunt between a hunter and a wolf begins, and it is unknown who will win.

……

dawn.

We've arrived at Baihe Mountain. It's already dawn, and among the mountains, there's a towering peak, shaped like a white crane, hence its name. The sound of insects chirping and the occasional roar of animals fills the air.

Through the faint light of dawn, you can see that there are some people living on Baihe Mountain. There are many tiled houses, like a small town built on the mountain.

Along the way, Guan Ning's tracking was very careful and did not attract any attention from the other party. Both parties arrived here almost at the same time.

"Sir!"

In the darkness, Yu Dilong and his men appeared like ghosts.

"How's the investigation going?" Guan Ning asked.

"My Lord, we have already surveyed Baihe Mountain. There are about a hundred households on the mountain, which is considered a small town. There are about seven roads leading up and down the mountain, but there is only one main road."

"The Zhao Mansion also sent people here in advance, but there are not many people, only a dozen or so. They are guarding the Fuzifang on the top of Baihe Mountain. That should be where Zhao Qing is staying." Yu Dilong said.

Guan Ning nodded, but before he could say anything, someone else came jogging over.

"Report, Prince, Zhao Qing and his group have already gone up the mountain. Some officers and soldiers have accompanied them, while most officers and soldiers have stayed at the foot of the mountain. It seems that they will not be protecting Zhao Qing throughout the journey."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone in Yipintang lit up slightly. The fewer people there are, the easier it is to kill them!
