Chapter 1106 Meng Linger and Xiao Yan and Xiao Lie fight against bandits together

Yun Yisan arranged the lessons for Ling'er and his other disciples and left.

Meng Ling'er felt very disappointed that she couldn't go out and see the world with Yun Yisanren.

Xiao Yan had been learning magic for a while, and his fighting power had skyrocketed. He had originally planned to stay in the capital and practice magic with Xiao Lie.

However, the king secretly summoned him and asked him to lead a team to investigate the recent rampant robberies and border smuggling cases.

Merchants and travelers along the two border provinces have been frequently robbed recently. Not only are their money taken, but the lives of strong team members are also killed. It is simply insane.

At the same time, smuggling of goods across the border was rampant. Investigations revealed that some of the smuggled goods were stolen from caravans that had been hijacked.

Obviously, this was an organized gang robbery and smuggling case.

If it is not regulated, merchants will not dare to travel far to trade. Such evil practices not only destroy the normal business environment, but also have a hundred disadvantages and no benefits to the people's lives and national tax revenue.

The king didn't trust anyone else, and he took a fancy to Xiao Yan, a young and steady general.

In addition to Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie also volunteered to investigate the case with Xiao Yan.

The king heard that Ling'er was in a low mood recently because Yun Yisanren left, and he stopped making trouble. He locked himself in the Taoist temple to practice martial arts all day.

The king was worried that his precious granddaughter was bored, so he called Ling'er and asked her, "Dear Ling'er, your two cousins ​​from the Xiao family are going to the border to investigate a case. Do you want to go with them to catch the bad guys?"

Meng Ling'er was a bit listless. Her lackluster attitude made the king even more worried. He wasn't worried about Ling'er making a fuss, but he was afraid that the child would become too depressed.

Then the king explained in detail the seriousness of the border situation and encouraged Ling'er:

"My dear granddaughter, you have learned so many skills from your great-grandmaster recently, you must put them to the test.

This time when they went to the border to handle the case, the investigators faced a criminal gang and were in great danger.

Go and help them, solve the case as soon as possible, and bring the murderers and robbers to justice. My dear granddaughter, can you go out and see the world?"

Meng Ling'er was also feeling bored. Since the border needed her, she might as well go along and solve the case. Catching bad guys and protecting the people was what a cultivator should do.

So Meng Ling'er agreed to the king's request. She returned to her room, packed some simple luggage, and then, along with Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie, and a team of a hundred personal guards, set out for the border.

Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie and Ling'er discussed the complex situation at the border along the way and prepared to deal with various dangers.

Meng Ling'er appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually a little nervous and expectant inside.

It was her first time going out on a dangerous mission without the protection of her master and uncle, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. Young people are full of anticipation for unknown challenges.

The two brothers of the Xiao family must complete their tasks excellently and make great achievements.

The three of them were full of fighting spirit and they led the team on their way at full speed. Finally, they arrived at the border.

As soon as we entered the city, we could sense the tense atmosphere. The streets were deserted and most of the shops were closed.

Xiao Yan quickly contacted the local authorities to learn about the latest developments in the case.

It turned out that robbers had become more rampant recently and had even started attacking government patrols.

Meng Ling'er clenched her fists, vowing to bring these villains to justice. She counted the talismans and drugs Li Kangning had left her; there weren't many left. Yun Yi Sanren had also left her a life-saving magical tool.

Meng Ling'er planned to observe the situation and then decide whether to ask Li Kangning to come and give these hundred guards more talismans and sleeping pills.

That night, they received news that three more caravans would pass through the nearby official road.

In order to prevent the robber gang from committing crimes again, Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie and Meng Ling'er immediately led a team to ambush along the way.

The first caravan consisted of twenty carriages loaded with goods, escorted by twenty bodyguards and twenty grooms.

It was obvious that this team came well prepared. From the body shapes and movements of the escorts, it was clear that they were all highly skilled fighters.

As expected, the caravan was hijacked when it reached the valley where robberies were frequent.

On both sides of the valley, more than fifty people were ready to roll logs and rocks. In the valleys ahead and behind, more than eighty robbers blocked the way.

The robbers were very arrogant and shouted loudly: "If you know what's good for you, leave your money and goods behind and we'll spare your lives!"

The caravan's escorts were not afraid at all. They drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

If they did, the caravan's horses and goods would inevitably be damaged, and casualties would also be unavoidable.

When the two sides were about to fight, Xiao Yan gave an order and the ambushing troops rushed out instantly.

At the front and back valley entrances, the robbers were driven into the valley. This way, the robbers at both ends of the valley were caught in a pincer attack, which was very dangerous.

The threat of rolling logs and rocks was no longer a big one, and the robbers did not dare to attack rashly, fearing that the rocks and logs would roll down and injure their own people.

The caravan trapped in the valley still doesn’t know whether the people who come later are friends or enemies?

Xiao Yan's deputy general shouted loudly: "We are the officers and soldiers sent by the court to arrest you robbers, caravan, don't panic!"

Upon hearing this, the caravan's morale was boosted. Xiao Yan led forty people to confront the bandit leader at the valley's exit.

Xiao Lie and forty other men stood at the entrance of the valley, staring at the robbers, ready to fight at any time.

Meng Ling'er led twenty people and sneaked to a place about ten meters behind the enemy on both sides of the valley.

She had already distributed the sleeping pills and slingshots to both groups of soldiers.

According to the previous agreement, the soldiers shot several drug-filled pellets at the robbers' feet using slingshots.

After a while, the robbers on both sides of the mountain wall fainted.

Meng Ling'er shot a flare arrow, and immediately, Xiao Yan and Xiao Lie joined forces to engage in a fierce fight with the robbers who were trapped at the exit and entrance of the valley.

The escorts also fought hard with the robbers.

For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud.

The robbers did not expect to encounter such a strong opponent. They were attacked from both sides and began to panic.

But they are numerous and are still resisting stubbornly.

Xiao Yan's command was unwavering, and the soldiers and escorts fought bravely. The robbers suffered heavy losses and their morale plummeted.

Just as the battle entered a white-hot stage, two groups of robbers suddenly emerged from both sides of the valley, trapping the officers and soldiers at the exit and entrance.

It turned out that this was their ambush. Meng Linger saw this and immediately ordered to use drugs.

The drug bullets were fired from above with extremely high accuracy. The first to fall to the ground were the robbers.

The officers and soldiers all took the antidote and were not affected.

In order to prevent the horses in the caravan from being drugged and crushed to death by the heavily loaded carts, Xiao Yan and Xiao Lie flew towards the caravan at the same time and tried to feed the horses with antidote pills before the drugs took effect.

Fortunately, the brothers were agile and the horses were unharmed. The escort and the driver fainted in fear and suspicion, but were both rescued soon after.

The battle continues.
