The prince is very cruel

Lou Xinyue smiled bitterly: "I know that your decision will not be easily changed. If you think it is worth doing, then do it."

"But there are so many people waiting for you at home, you have to be careful."

Guan Ning held her slender hand: "Okay, don't worry."

"You stay home and take good care of your baby, and wait for my good news."

Lou Xinyue snuggled in his arms: "I really hope that one day the world will be balanced and our family can live a carefree life."

You can tell she is looking forward to it.

Guan Ning felt bad and secretly vowed that one day in the future, he would give his wife and children a stable life.

Not long after, Guan Ning told some of his trusted high-ranking officials in Bashan that he was going to Shenlongjia, and ordered them to keep the news secret.

Nie Nan and his companions did not support this, believing that pursuing an old immortal who only existed in legends was too unrealistic, but they ultimately could not persuade Guan Ning and agreed.

The next day, Guan Ning made arrangements for his departure. Nine militia battalions were deployed along the main thoroughfares in Shu, and all traps were activated. As long as the enemy dared to enter Shu, they would suffer a heavy blow.

Moreover, the 30,000 Dragon Riders have not yet appeared, but Guan Ning has given Ma Jin full power to mobilize them. If Bashan encounters problems that the militia camp cannot solve, the 30,000 Dragon Riders will quickly leave the valley and flatten everything!

As for internal affairs, the Shu government has sufficient staff to deal with them.

As long as Guan Ning can return within the deadline of breaking up with Helan Shan, there will be no big problem.

Before leaving, Guan Ning made a special trip to the military camp in Xiliang outside Shu, found Wu Zhu, and told Wu Zhu that the laborers would be recruited soon and would be able to be transferred before the end of May.

Wu Zhu was very happy to hear this and was very polite to Guan Ning, but Guan Ning was just trying to reassure them.

After leaving Wu Zhu, Guan Ning returned to Liuzhuang, and then chose a very hidden path to head south to Lingnan.

Accompanying them were Shengqi and a younger man from the Nienan tribe, seventeen years old, named Nie Yang. Although he was very young and not a master, he was a top guide and wilderness survival master.

Having traveled through the dangerous terrain of Shu since he was a child, he is adaptable to any terrain and any weather, so he is always prepared.

There were only three of them in the entire team. Hai Mei was worried at first and wanted to transfer a large number of experts from the Holy Lotus Sect to pass through, but was rejected by Guan Ning.

This matter cannot be accomplished by relying on numbers, and the Shu area is already on the brink of war. The masters of the Holy Lotus Sect must assist the Shu government in gathering information.

After four days and five nights of non-stop travel, we finally arrived in Lingnan!

The whole journey was non-stop. When we were hungry, we just ate some dry food on horseback. When we were thirsty, we drank some water. The only rest time was only two hours a day.

The life of sleeping in the open air had turned the three men into primitive people before they even reached Shenlongjia. They were dirty and had greasy hair. People who didn't know them would have thought they were bandits from the hill.

"Hey!!"

"We're here, my lord, we're in Lingnan!" exclaimed a dark-skinned young man. He was very thin, but full of energy. At this moment, he was staring straight ahead.

Guan Ning stared at the layers of mountains in the distance under the fading red sunset. There were dense primeval forests there, and towering trees stretched as far as the eye could see, as if they had grown into the clouds.

"Hiss..." Sheng Qi couldn't help but gasp, "I thought Shu was already primitive enough, with towering trees and wild growth."

"But compared to here... it's still far behind."

"How can a tree grow so tall!" There was a hint of disbelief in his expectation.

Guan Ning asked quietly: "Is this the original forest without any pollution or deforestation?"

“How many plants have become extinct?”

"Ah, my lord, what did you say?" Nie Yang said.

Guan Ning came back to his senses: "It's okay."

"Let's go. Our first goal is to find Hachijo Village."
