After the plan was stopped, Xue Jiangning and Peng Lianhu arranged it non-stop.
By noon, Xue Jiangning had already reported that the envoy sent by the emperor had arrived in Qingyang, accompanied by more than a dozen people, and he couldn't see the depth of martial arts.
It is estimated that Bao Wanghai will soon be ordered to embark on the road back to Beijing.
When bringing this news, Xue Jiangning also brought another piece of news: Leng Lingshuang also passed through the two prefectures of Hezhou and Huizhou, passed through the Tiger Leaping Valley, and seemed to be going in the direction of Bianjing.
Lin Jingru and I were overjoyed when we heard this, and at this time, Peng Lianhu also came to report back, saying that the beggar gang master had already made arrangements, so after a short rest, our group immediately set off to Tiger Leaping Valley.
It was also my idea to rush to Tiger Leaping Valley before Bao Wanghai set off.
I think that even if Wei Yankang or Wei Yankang's instigator behind the scenes wants to kill Bao Wanghai, the possibility of doing it in Qingyang City and along the way is extremely small.
Bao Wanghai and escorting the envoy back to Beijing, the Hezhou government will definitely send troops to escort them.
Even if there are many masters of assassination, it is not easy to assassinate Bao Wanghai under the protection of the army and the palace masters, let alone get out safely.
So if you really want to do it, the location will definitely be the same as the beggar gang group imagined at the beginning, set in Tiger Leaping Valley.
Tiger Leaping Valley is located in the territory of Hezhou Mansion, 30 miles away from Huizhou Mansion.
In order to hide people's eyes, under Xue Jiangning's arrangement, Lin Jingru, Peng Lianhu and more than a dozen beggar gang masters and I still pretended to be rich and went out of the city first, while Xue Jiangning was busy arranging beggar gang disciples along the way, staying behind to respond and deliver news.
After a long walk in the carriage, we approached the Tiger Leaping Valley.
At this time, Peng Lianhu had already received news that Bao Wanghai had already set off in Qingyang, and in addition to more than a dozen people such as the emperor's envoy, Hezhou Mansion also sent another 3,000-strong ironclad army to escort them along the way.
The ironclad army is composed of soldiers with strong martial arts selected by the Hezhou Mansion in the army, although these soldiers who can be regarded as strong in the army may only be regarded as second- or third-rate in the rivers and lakes, but these sergeants are all experienced in battle, and together with the horses that straddle the horses, they are all covered in heavy iron armor, swords are difficult to hurt, and the equipment is also strong bows, crossbows and heavy blades, dozens of people rush back and forth to kill like a copper wall and iron wall, even if they are first-class masters, it is extremely difficult to get out after being trapped.
With the protection of the 3,000 ironclad troops, there should be no harm along the way.
Xue Jiangning had already reduced the number of beggar gang masters along the way, and let more than a dozen of the selected masters set off to Tiger Leaping Valley.
After a few more miles of our group, Tiger Leaping Valley came into view.
And as soon as we saw the Tiger Leaping Valley, Lin Jingru and I couldn't help but gasp.
It is no wonder that the beggars will choose and think that this is the best place to do it, it turns out that the territory of Hezhou is mountainous, but the terrain of Huizhou is flat.
After the Tiger Leaping Valley, it is a flat river, and you can look at the plains in all directions.
But the area around the Tiger Leaping Valley happens to be a continuous mountain, and the Tiger Leaping Valley is a valley that crosses this mountain.
From afar, it looks like a mountain has been split through it.
When we got closer, it was already evening, and I saw the dusk sun shining down from the cliffs on both sides.
Looking up, a line of wonders, like a tiger leaping over, and on both sides of the rock wall and dense forests, the dusk sunset has just reached the halfway has been blocked, only to see a black and gloomy, only allow three horses to pass side by side passage winding away, indescribable gloomy indifference.
We chose a secluded mountain forest on the side of the road to stop for a while.
Lin Jingru, Peng Lianhu and other beggar gang masters and I all got out of the carriage.
After getting out of the carriage, I asked a beggar disciple to continue to direct our carriage convoy through the Tiger Leaping Valley to Huizhou Mansion.
And after the carriage convoy had all set off, I asked three of the most outstanding beggar disciples to follow in secret, and looked around to see if anyone was in ambush in secret.
After a while, the three disciples all circled back to the secluded mountain forest where we were hiding, and to my surprise, the three disciples said that they did not see any suspicious signs along the way.
Our wagon convoy had also passed through the Tiger Leaping Valley and headed for Huizhou Mansion.
"Isn't there anyone trying to ambush Bao Wanghai, or is the ambush person not yet here?"
Although I had doubts in my heart, since this plan was so, I didn't want to give up easily, and after checking the terrain around the Tiger Leaping Valley, I asked Peng Lianhu to lead a group of masters to set up an ambush in a relatively remote place outside the valley mouth.
I made this arrangement because I expected that whether the emperor's envoy escorted Bao Wanghai through here, or someone came here to ambush him, he would definitely send people to investigate before and after, just like me, and if Peng Lianhu and the others set up an ambush near the mouth of the valley or in the valley, I am afraid that they would be discovered immediately.
Then we will be in a bad situation.
Another point is that if someone ambushes, there must be some way to cut off the valley mouth, and although it is the easiest way to enter the valley from the cliff wall, the cliffs on both sides of the Tiger Leaping Valley are more than 200 zhang high, although the upper half of the rock wall also grows trees and vines of different heights.
But the second half of the road is hard to find, and at night you have to descend from the cliff wall into the valley, which I am afraid only someone like me who can use the trick of tiptoeing can do.
And I think that even if someone really breaks the valley mouth at that time, the vast majority of ironclad troops who are not good at light skills will definitely not be able to cross the valley mouth.
But for Peng Lianhu and others, if the ambushed people only blocked the valley mouth with huge rocks and thunderwood and other things, for Peng Lianhu and others, it was not difficult to cross the blocked valley mouth with light skills and longitudinal techniques.
After making this arrangement, I took Lin Jingru and quietly climbed the cliff on the side of the Tiger Leaping Valley along the dense forest.
Although the cliffs on both sides of the Tiger Leaping Valley are more than 200 zhang high, if I encounter overgrown weeds or difficult places along the way, I use the tiptoe to float up, so I don't feel tired.
In addition, after climbing the cliff, as far as the eye can see, the desolate and majestic appearance of the Huizhou Mansion in the distance all fall into the bottom of the eye, and the cool breeze around is gusting, and the sound of apes and insects chirping in the distance is endless.
For a while, I felt relaxed and happy, and when I looked down and saw that in the dense forest on the cliff not far away, there was a pine tree with staggered heads, flat like a boat, and I couldn't help but smile and said to Lin Jingru beside me, "Jingru, how about we hide there?"
"Okay."
Seeing that I was in high spirits, Lin Jingru just smiled and nodded.

Seeing Lin Jingru nodding, I immediately happily hugged Lin Jingru and performed the trick of tiptoeing, and the two of them suddenly slid down from the dense forest silently like a pair of winged birds, and landed steadily on the pine that grew obliquely on the cliff.
The roots of the pine tree were deep in the cliff, and in order to rob the sun from the miraculous canyon, the whole pine tree spread out parallel like a peacock's wings.
So that the surrounding oblique trees, as if pushed aside by its branches, and the branches of the pine are tangled together, covered with a layer of leaves falling above the canyon, perhaps because there has been no rain for a long time, the fallen leaves are also very dry, just like a blanket, Lin Jingru and I are lying or sitting, there is no problem at all.
After Lin Jingru and I sat down, we were in mid-air, unable to reach the sky or the ground, but we felt extremely novel, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart the magic between heaven and earth, and I didn't know how many years this pine had grown on this cliff in order to gain a firm foothold and form the scene of this overlord.
At this time, the sky is getting dark, and the night is slowly coming in.
The trees on the pine trees were also growing, and it was even darker for a while.
After a while, it was already pitch black in the Tiger Leaping Valley.
I calculated that more than an hour had passed, and I couldn't help but think, "Is there really no one who is going to ambush Bao Wanghai here or choose to do it somewhere else?"
I was thinking like this in my heart, but I felt Lin Jingru leaning slightly closer to me.
In the darkness, I couldn't help but feel a warm heart, and I couldn't help but ask softly, "Jingru, are you afraid?"
"With my husband, I'm not afraid of anywhere."
Lin Jingru answered me softly.
Hearing Lin Jing say this, I couldn't help but hug Lin Jingru into my arms, and for a while, the hearts of the two of them were full of charm and sweetness, and they didn't think about it at all.
In the starlight that penetrated through the jungle above us, the two of us didn't know how long we had been hugging each other, and suddenly we saw a flickering fire on the official road in the distance.
Lin Jingru and I sat up vigilantly, and looked around, and in a short time, the flickering fire had become a winding fire dragon.
It turned out that at the beginning, because Lin Jingru and I were in the middle of the Tiger Leaping Valley in the middle of the air from the valley mouth to look out, the official road outside the canyon is also meandering, we can see for a while, and the sight is blocked by the valley mouth for a while, the firelight is naturally bright and uncertain, now closer, the firelight in the night sky, suddenly like a word of the dragon as spectacular.
As soon as I saw the fire dragon formed by the torches, I knew that Bao Wanghai and the emperor's envoy, escorted by the three thousand ironclad troops, had arrived.
Although there was no abnormality at this time, I couldn't help but get nervous when I heard the sound of the horse's hooves.
The team stopped a mile outside the valley mouth, and the sound of torches hunting and horses gasping could be heard clearly.
When the three thousand ironclad troops stopped, their movements were also uniform.
The iron armor on his body was shining with cold light, which made people secretly frightened.
At this time, Lin Jingru and I couldn't see where Bao Wanghai and the emperor's envoy were in the team, but as I expected, after the team stopped.
Five or six faint figures also immediately swept past the team, flying towards the cliffs on both sides like a frightening wave.
About a hundred soldiers carrying torches, not ironclad soldiers, also dismounted and slowly searched up the mountains on both sides.
"It seems that the emperor's envoy is also very careful.
It seems that he has been prepared for a long time.
"Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
At this moment, I heard the sound of the cliff breaking on both sides above my head.
I knew it must have been the five or six masters who had been searching the cliffs on both sides.
Because Lin Jingru and I were both in mid-air, and there was a jungle above our heads, Lin Jingru and I were not afraid of being discovered, but we just sat still and continued to watch the actions of the three thousand ironclad soldiers.
After about a pillar of incense, the five or six masters had already flown back into the formation, and about a hundred soldiers had already climbed the cliffs on both sides, and the fire was shining, and they continued to search forward, as if they were going to slowly climb over the mountain directly.
When Lin Jingru and I looked into the formation again, we saw that there seemed to be a handsome flag waving in the 3,000 ironclad army, and a hundred ironclad soldiers left the formation, and in an instant, they turned into three parallel horsemen, all holding torches, slowly marching towards the valley.
After entering the valley, the hundred cavalry ironclad soldiers did not pass through here, but stayed in the valley one by one like five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and after a while, the whole tiger leaping valley was already illuminated by the light of torches from the entrance side to the exit side.
In the firelight, I saw that the more than 100 cavalry ironclad soldiers were indeed like iron casts, even their faces were hidden in iron masks, and when they marched and stopped, they were in order, and I couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
I thought to myself, it seems that this Great Wu's military strength is very strong.
I don't know if it's because that Wu Liang is well governed.
Just as he was thinking this, the team outside the valley mouth seemed to be handsome, the sound of horses' hooves moved, and the ironclad military formation slowly moved forward, and when they approached the valley, they became two people walking side by side, and began to enter the valley neatly.
In an instant, hundreds of ironclad armies had passed through the valley, and after crossing the valley, those ironclad armies did not advance again, but assembled and waited on the plain outside the valley that had returned to the boundary of Huizhou Prefecture.
"In this case, for the ambush to be successful, you must cut off all the heads and tails."
Seeing this, I couldn't help but groan in my heart, "And even if this is the case, there are at least hundreds of ironclad troops in the valley, plus those masters, it seems that it is not easy to succeed in the ambush." ” Although I groaned in my heart, the escort did not stop, and in a short time more than a thousand horses had crossed the valley and assembled several miles away.
At the same time, more than a dozen people dressed in various official uniforms also escorted several carriages into the valley.
I knew that there must be Bao Wanghai and others sitting in those carriages, and as I expected, Bao Wanghai and a group of masters were indeed in the middle of the ironclad army.
The creaking of the carriage was heard clearly, and in a short time it was in the valley.
I saw the ironclad army echoing back and forth, and my heart was slowly relaxing.
But what I didn't expect was that at this moment, two deafening explosions suddenly came from the valley.

Before I could react, I felt that the entire valley was in a huge tremor, and even the pine pine where Lin Jingru and I were sitting trembled as if it was about to break.
Suddenly there was a huge change, and I was suddenly shocked, and my first reaction was to subconsciously hug Lin Jingru and levitate above the pine.
And when I unfolded the trick of tiptoeing and floated up, Lin Jingru and I looked at it, but we gasped again.
I saw that more than 100 meters from the head of the valley and the end of the valley had exploded in all directions, and the rock wall seemed to have collapsed by artillery fire, and the huge rocks fell in all directions like rain.
In the gray smoke, the mountains on both sides first startled countless birds, and then shook off countless dead branches and yellow leaves.
The marching procession, like me, did not expect this sudden earth-shattering change, and although most of them were able to maintain their composure for a while, most of the war horses were in disarray in the midst of the deafening noise, and no matter how restrained the ironclad army on the horse, dozens of war horses still rushed in all directions.
The valley was so narrow that it was hit by dozens of strong horses in iron armor, and suddenly dozens of iron armor sergeants fell to the ground.
In the midst of the flying stones, the boulders the size of the millstone instantly blocked Taniguchi and Valley, and at the same time, they also buried dozens of ironclad sergeants who could not dodge.
Dozens more ironclad sergeants were hit by quickstones.
Although they were all wearing heavy iron armor, most of the flowing stones were the size of a bowl, and they splattered out, and the bodies of the iron armor soldiers who were hit were deeply dented, and all of them spurted blood from the gaps in their masks and fell to the ground.
The fastest reaction was the dozen or so officials wearing various official uniforms around the side of several carriages, those people were really masters of superb skills, but in an instant, those people had already scattered and surrounded several carriages, and they all drew their blades or palms to attack each other, and the flowing stones that were hitting those carriages were knocked away by them with palm force or blades.
On both sides of the valley and outside the valley, the ironclad armies also reacted.
At this time, the rocks that collapsed blocked the valley mouth about 50 meters high.
Seeing this scene, the thousands of ironclad troops outside the valley all dismounted, and on the one hand, some people climbed up the cliffs on both sides, and on the other hand, hundreds of people climbed up to the mouth and tail of the blocked valley, thinking that they would go deeper into the valley and meet the people who were intercepted in the valley.
But the sergeants had just made a move, and there was another earth-shattering change.
On both sides of the rock wall, tall trees originally grew, forming a dense mountain forest.
But at this time, as if blown by an invisible hurricane, the tall trees on both sides broke from it, and fell from the top of the rock walls on both sides towards the valley like huge thunderwood.
Those trees had to be hugged by one or two people, and they fell from the sky one by one, how amazing the power was, not to mention the hundreds of ironclad soldiers and more than a dozen masters guarding the carriage at the bottom of the valley for a while, even Lin Jingru and I couldn't help but change their faces.
