She must return to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise something bad might happen.

The matter of the emperor being secretly poisoned cannot be delayed any longer, and that person must be found as soon as possible.

In her dream, she saw her father being maliciously framed and torn to pieces for embezzling military pay. Not long after that, her mother also met with a serious accident, which led to her mother's unjust and humiliating death. The reputation of the General's Mansion also plummeted and never recovered.

Later, other members of the family were killed one after another.

In the dream, the tragic scenes of each person before death lingered in her mind and were still fresh in her memory!

"Princess, Prince Xiao wants you to leave and return to the capital with us!"

At this time, Song Lele ran into the tent, walked carefully to the bed, and said timidly.

After several hours of deep sleep, Tao Yuwei's fatigue was swept away.

She put away the thoughtful look on her face and a friendly smile appeared on her delicate and petite face.

"Okay, I'll be out right away."

She jumped off the simple camp bed nimbly, tidied her slightly messy hair, and walked out of the tent with Song Lele.

Xiao Lichen, who was waiting for her outside the tent, was listening to Qingzhu's report.

"Master, there are a total of 50,000 private soldiers hidden in this valley. Among them, there are five lieutenants, one general, and one military advisor."

Qingzhu looked solemn when he bowed to report.

"What's wrong? Keep talking!"

There was a calmness in Xiao Lichen's ink-black peach blossom eyes. He sat in a wheelchair, looking sideways at the mountains in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

"After these soldiers' identification, the five captains and their general Zhang were all dead."

"How did those captains die?"

Xiao Lichen was already guessing in his mind who was the mastermind behind these private soldiers.

"I found their bodies in a large tent. They all died of poisoning. As for the military advisor, I searched the entire valley and camp, but couldn't find him!"

"I have gathered all the soldiers here at the training ground and told them the actual situation. They all said that they were here to serve as soldiers according to the official documents issued by the court and had no idea that they had become someone's private soldiers."

"At present, the number of people here has been counted and their names have been recorded. Please take a look, Master."

Qingzhu walked forward with the personnel list in both hands, trying to hold his breath, fearing that his master would be angry.

After hearing this, Xiao Lichen took the list, looked at it for a while, and then put it away.

"You and a part of the Xiaoyu Guards will stay here temporarily to lead the soldiers to be on guard and train. After the imperial court sends someone to take over, you will lead the people back to the capital."

Qingzhu agreed immediately.

Tao Yuwei and others stood aside. After they finished discussing official business, their group of dozens of people started to set off and hurriedly headed outside Funiu Mountain.

Tao Yuwei brought a few children and sat in the carriage with Xiao Lichen.

She was thinking all her mind on how to let Xiao Lichen and his people discover the existence of the secret guard camp located in Cuiyun Mountain outside Beijing.

If you take the official road to Beijing, the route does not pass through there, but first enters the capital area and then enters Beijing.

Unless you change the route midway, you can't pass through the area around Cuiyun Mountain.

Just as she was lost in thought, Guo Buyan, who was riding a horse, changed into a light blue outfit, came to the window of the carriage and knocked on the carriage.

Tao Yuwei was startled and came back to her senses. She raised her hand to open the car curtain and saw a vibrant face. Guo Buyan greeted her with a smile.

"Princess Anle, come ride with me outside. It's too boring to sit in the carriage."

Xiao Lichen looked at him, and a cold and dangerous light flashed in his dark eyes, which frightened Guo Buyan so much that his hands trembled. He subconsciously stepped forward with force, and the horse under him flew out like a sharp arrow.

Xiao Lichen withdrew his gaze and began to close his eyes to rest.

Tao Yuwei looked at the person who suddenly disappeared, with a puzzled look on her face.

She didn't notice the wolf-like dangerous look in Xiao Lichen's eyes.

"Stop the car. I decided to ride back to Beijing on horseback."

Tao Yuwei moved her numb legs and shouted to the guards driving the carriage outside.

There were quite a lot of people on the bus, so she decided to just ride a horse.

Xiao Lichen didn't even open his eyes and said coldly, "You can't get off the car!"

"Why?" Tao Yuwei looked at him puzzled.
