Long Feiyan's fingertips holding the cup paused slightly, and her eyes finally fell on Emperor Qiwen.
"Listen to who?"
She was finally willing to talk to him, and Emperor Qiwen immediately looked happy and replied: "Before, there were rumors that Feng Jiu'er was still alive and even left the imperial city to go to the southern barbarian land."
No one mentioned the word Feng Clan, so Emperor Qiwen, like everyone else, also determined that the place Feng Jiuer was going to was Nanman.
"I have sent people to inquire, but they did not hide their whereabouts. I guess that the person inside is indeed Feng Jiu'er."
Seven or eight days ago, the Lord of the South Gate of Crowwood City sent troops to intercept, and even the Longwu Army in Phoenix City was alerted.
Who else could send out the Longwu Army to protect him but Feng Jiuer?
"Long'er, tell me, if Ajiu really leaves Beimu Country, then...should I do something?"
"With your meager military strength, how can you compete with the Ninth Prince's Longwu Army?"
Long Feiyan really showed no mercy at all. These words made Emperor Qiwen blush immediately.
Qingye and Qingzhi could only pretend not to see it, otherwise, the old emperor would be ashamed to death.
Emperor Qiwen coughed slightly and then said: "If I launch this battle, other armies will naturally join. As far as I know, there are still forces eyeing Phoenix City."
"Then can the Holy One tell me exactly who is controlling those forces?"
"This..." Emperor Qiwen blushed again, and after a while, he whispered: "I have people investigating, but for the time being, nothing can be found."
Long Feiyan didn't speak. As long as she didn't speak, Emperor Qiwen would become anxious.
Naturally, he wanted her to talk to him all the time, but she didn't want to speak, which meant that his topic made her feel bored.
When a man is so boring in front of a woman, he is really a failure.
Emperor Qiwen was a little anxious and immediately said: "Long'er, although I am not completely sure yet, I have also found some information."
"It was a black-robed and masked man who injured Ah Jiu on the mountain behind the Imperial College. I suspect that this man has connections with certain forces in the imperial court."
"But you never know who they are."
Emperor Qiwen was so reprimanded by her that he couldn't even say a word. It was really embarrassing to be so shameless.
"Well, I...will find a way..."
"There is a way." Long Feiyan picked up the cup again, took a sip, and then said, "Want to hear it?"
…
Finally, I left Beimu Country.
When you enter the southern barbarian land, you feel that it is very different from Phoenix City.
Originally, they didn't need to go through Phoenix City to get to the Phoenix Clan, but because they were intercepted by the South Gate City Lord of Crowwood City, they could only get to Phoenix City and then change to Nanman from Phoenix City.
After passing through Nanman, no one knows how long it will take to reach the Phoenix Clan.
This place, Nanman, has always been a symbol of danger and mystery in everyone's mind.
However, Feng Jiuer felt that after entering Nanman, the air felt much fresher than when she was in Beimu.
As for danger or anything like that, I really didn’t feel it at all.
Here, there are birds singing, flowers fragrant, green mountains and green waters everywhere, no matter where you divide it, it is a beautiful place.
If it were placed in modern times, it would definitely be a tourist attraction.
"It's so beautiful." Today she did not ride in the carriage, but directly rode on Zhuiyue.
Looking at the surrounding green mountains and the clear river not far away, I felt particularly beautiful.
How great would it be if one day, there was nothing to do, no worries, just living in such a beautiful place with friends?
"Why is it so beautiful here but there is no one there?"
Along the way here, I really didn't see any people.
"This is a no-care zone. Even though it looks beautiful on the surface, in fact, there are countless thieves and bandits in the surrounding mountains."
"So, even businessmen don't dare to set foot on this road, right?"
What a waste of such a beautiful place.
Feng Jiuer looked at Qiao Mu, who was riding a horse and walking beside her, "Actually, what is your mentality as a bandit? Don't you feel uncomfortable when you rob?"
"Who wants to be a monk if he has hair?"
Qiao Mu sighed lightly, "In fact, no one wants to be a bandit. If life is good, who wants to live in the name of a bandit?"
"In other words, they just don't have money and can't live a good life?"
Feng Jiuer still doesn't understand. There are beautiful mountains and clear waters everywhere, and the geographical environment is actually very good.
"Why not plant some crops and develop agriculture? At least, you won't starve to death."
Mu Mu didn't know when he came over on horseback.
Hearing this, he said calmly: "It would be good if agriculture really develops in this place."
"The bandits are entrenched in this area. The number of people is no less than that of a large city. The land is vast and rich in resources, and the environment is better than Phoenix City."
"Is it because although there are many bandits, they all stand on their own, and no one is willing to surrender to anyone else. Without a core leader, they have become a mess?"
Feng Jiuer looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers and frowned: "They don't want to focus on farming because they know that what they farm will be suddenly plundered, right?
"
"Yeah." Mu Mu nodded and looked at the beautiful scenery around him.
"Since ancient times, robbing has become their entire life."
"Then, how do they maintain their lives?" Robbing, resources are always limited.
No matter what it is, once you eat it and drink it, it will be gone. How will everyone survive then?
"When robbing cannot sustain life, they attack deep into the mountains and wild forests, trying to find ways to continue looking for food from the depths of the mountains."
"Wouldn't it be too primitive to live like this?" It's like a primitive man!
What's the point of days like this?
"There's nothing I can do about it. I told you, who wants to be a monk with hair?" Qiao Mu felt a little melancholy.
"Remember your brothers again?" Feng Jiuer looked sideways at her and said with a smile, "Didn't you already go out to repair the book and ask Xing Zizhou to arrange work for them?"
Qiao Mu glanced at her. In fact, Jiu'er's arrangement might be a good thing for the brothers.
Who wants to be a bandit all his life? But being a bandit is not that easy.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s talk about food first. How could there be so many business travelers for them to rob?
What's more, every time we take action, there are always casualties, and the name is not justified, and the casualties are all deserved.
If you don't rob but go hunting in the mountains, there will still be casualties.
In short, it is not easy to make ends meet.
Qiao Mu was actually relieved to hand over the brothers to Xing Zizhou.
She looked at Feng Jiuer: "Why are you suddenly talking about this? Could it be that even the bandits here want to make plans?"
