Chapter 809: Back Mountain Soldiers
Lihua gazed at the overlapping peaks and said, "Only two mountains left!"
Once they crossed these final two mountains, they would truly enter Yan Land.
The layered mountains were a stunning sight from afar, but what lay within them was far less beautiful.
"Why doesn't the Local Government here deal with these bandits?" Lihua asked.
Yunxiang patted Lihua's head. "Many things in this world exist for a reason."
"Rumor has it that during the early years of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Prince of Yan's military was weak. This remote part of the Southern Domain was already sparsely populated and barren. When Prince Xiao sought to expand his territory, Yan Land fell into imminent peril. Fortunately, the mountain bandits came to their aid. The government and the bandits established a pact and fought side by side, which was the only way they kept Prince Xiao's grand army at bay."
"After the war, the Prince of Yan tacitly permitted the existence of some of these bandit groups. Some of them even hold official documents stamped with the Local Government's seal!"
"Rumor?" Lihua blinked.
Yunxiang said, "Perhaps it is true."
