Chapter 183 All-Desert
"Your Highness, why don't you let me accompany you? At least I'll be there to look after you."
Mingyue was really worried. Although Bingzhou was not far from Liangzhou, it was still under the control of the Great Liang Dynasty.
They had been so ruthless towards Emperor Liang before; given his temperament, he would definitely not let it go so easily.
If Yang Ling were to go out alone now, it would be extremely dangerous.
However, Yang Ling refused Mingyue's offer without hesitation, deciding to go to Bingzhou City alone, as it would allow him to better conceal his identity.
"Don't worry, I have a gun on me, and ordinary assassins can't get close."
Yang Ling spoke calmly, then left the inn with Li Qing beside him without giving Mingyue a chance to continue speaking.
Mingyue watched Yang Ling's departing figure with a slight sense of helplessness, but she had no better solution.
After all, this was Yang Ling's decision, so she naturally had no room for objection.
Mingyue shook her head, and then led Murong Mingyue and the others back to Liangzhou City.
Meanwhile, Yang Ling and Li Qing were heading towards Bingzhou City.
"Your Highness, are you really planning to go to Bingzhou City?"
Li Qing said hesitantly.
"Of course."
Yang Ling answered without hesitation, since the target this time was that mysterious person, so naturally he had to go there in person.
"But it's too dangerous for us to go to Bingzhou now."
Li Qing said with some concern, after all, the Great Liang Dynasty was still keeping an eye on them, which was different from before in Liangzhou City.
"Don't worry, we're just going to see an old friend, we're not going to do anything bad."
Yang Ling smiled faintly, then quickened his pace and headed towards Bingzhou City.
Seeing Yang Ling like this, Li Qing knew that he had made up his mind.
So Li Qing didn't waste any more words and followed Yang Ling directly towards Bingzhou City.
Bingzhou and Liangzhou are very close. After traveling for a day, Yang Ling and Li Qing arrived outside Bingzhou City.
"Your Highness, we have arrived."
Li Qing said to Yang Ling.
"We've finally arrived!"
Yang Ling sighed, then walked towards Bingzhou City with Li Qing.
After entering Bingzhou City, Yang Ling and Li Qing did not rush to find the mysterious person.
After all, it was already dark, and he didn't want to knock on people's doors in the middle of the night.
So Yang Ling first found an inn, then asked for a room, tidied up all the messy things on her body, and then washed up before lying down on the bed to sleep.
Just then, a group of people were sitting together in the lobby of the inn, watching Yang Ling and Li Qing walk in from outside.
"That kid is the Ninth Prince?"
One of them spoke, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"It seems correct."
Another person chimed in.
"We've done a great job today, let's quickly report this to our superiors."
The person who spoke first continued.
"Now that kid has entered our Bingzhou City territory, he's ours for the taking. Why should we inform him now? Wouldn't that mean we'd be giving away most of the credit?"
Another person stood up to object, clearly dissatisfied with the statements of these people.
"Yes, His Highness the Ninth Prince is in our Bingzhou City, so he's practically ours!"
"That's right, His Highness the Ninth Prince is now a resident of Bingzhou City."
"If we hand him over to the higher-ups today, the credit will be enormous."
"Yeah, that kid isn't going to get away anyway."
"And who knows, I might even get a promotion by doing this favor. Why not?"
The others chimed in, clearly agreeing with the man's statement.
The man who had spoken earlier shook his head as he looked at these people; they were indeed short-sighted.
However, since these people had already said so, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
After all, the credit belongs to everyone, not just him.
Everyone in the inn was preoccupied with their own agendas, while Yang Ling, completely unaware of the situation, was fast asleep.
After waking up, Yang Ling and Li Qing left the inn together and headed towards a place in Bingzhou City.
"Your Highness, are we really going?"
Li Qing asked with some doubt, "They've only just arrived in Bingzhou and they're already looking for that mysterious person. Aren't they afraid of attracting attention?"
"Of course I want to go."
Yang Ling said without hesitation, and then led Li Qing to continue walking forward. Soon they found a farmhouse that looked very dilapidated.
However, when they arrived, they found that the farmhouse courtyard was wide open.
"This...this means someone has been here??"
Li Qing said with some surprise.
Yang Ling frowned slightly, then called to Li Qing and they went inside together.
The two searched the farmhouse courtyard but didn't see anyone.
It's clear that this place has been empty for a long time.
"Let's go look around somewhere else."
Yang Ling said calmly, "Now that there's no one in this farmhouse, the mysterious person has no reason to stay any longer."
"Yes!"
Li Qing agreed without hesitation. Although he was also puzzled as to why a perfectly normal person would disappear into thin air, he still followed Yang Ling and continued to search.
After all, he was just a guard; it was better not to ask too many questions.
While the two were searching, they were unaware that they had already been targeted.
"What was that kid doing at that house?"
One of them asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but judging from their suspicious behavior, they're definitely up to no good."
The other person said in a low voice, but his eyes were fixed on Yang Ling and Li Qing.
At this moment, Yang Ling was unaware that someone was secretly watching him, and simply continued searching with Li Qing.
Soon, they arrived at a secluded alley.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Li Qing asked helplessly, "This is the last place. If we can't find that mysterious person, we'll have wasted our time today."
Yang Ling wasn't worried about this problem, because he felt that the mysterious person was here, so he planned to stay here for a while longer.
"Go outside and keep watch. I'll call you if anything happens."
Yang Ling gave instructions to Li Qing.
"it is good!"
Li Qing said without hesitation, and then went out of the alley.
Yang Ling wandered alone in the alley, constantly looking around, trying to find some clues.
Soon, Yang Ling's gaze was drawn to a certain place.
This is an abandoned house. The door is wide open, and there isn't much inside; it looks quite cluttered.
