Chen Ling brought along his trusted aides, Teng Hu, Fan Fan and Jing Yan, and laid in ambush in a ditch outside the forest while waiting quietly. At the same time, he dispatched a few scouts along the way to monitor the movements of Soul-Drop Slope, Bai Yeyu and the rest.

Bai Ruoxi followed the method she had agreed to with Chen Ling and left the camp at noon. As they travelled slowly, with their speed, they would not be able to reach Soul-Drop Slope before sunset.

Zhan Xiong frowned, "Ten thousand stones fall together, even the goods and people have all been destroyed. That caravan's goods and that bitch Bai Ruoxi are my possessions, otherwise, I would not have been able to fall at all, why would I cooperate with you!"

Bai Yeyu nodded his head: "Of course, all of it is owned by Brother Zhan!" A fierce light flashed beneath his eyes, but he secretly thought in his heart, "Hmph, men die for wealth, birds die for food, when all of you bandits enter the valley to fight with Bai Ruoxi's men, even if you win, I will send a yellow sparrow to attack from behind, and use a rolling stone to smash everyone to death, to kill everyone, so that I will not be able to teach any of you a lesson in the future."

Because the young miss had ordered them to not rush, the caravan's speed was extremely slow. Before the sun set, they had just walked out of the mountain road, and had not rushed out of the forest, and if they were out of the forest area, it would be a relatively open wilderness. After another ten miles, they would reach the Soul-Drop Slope, but Bai Ruoxi had ordered them to set up camp in the clearing in the forest.

After setting up camp, the young miss had told others that she would not be returning to the Daliang City for the time being, and would return to the Zhao Nation. When the news spread, the entire family was stunned, and unknowingly, a figure had slipped out of the camp and quickly spread the news, not knowing that all of this was happening within Bai Ruoxi's control.

In the main tent of the camp, Bai Ruoxi called for the butler Tao Lin, the administrator elder He Shoufeng, and the martial master Fan Baichuan. The four families had gathered the leaders Xu Qian, Zhang Qing, Fan Yu, and Bao Xu.

Bai Ruoxi had colluded with the Green Forest Great Thief, Zhan Xiong, and wanted to exterminate all of the members of our caravan to seize the power and kill the Patriarch, which is a crime that cannot be pardoned. Now that they are ambushing us in the Soul-Drop Slope and Wei Army had sent people to go through the canyon first, they are going to let down Bai Yeyu and the others' guard and display their strength first so that they can let down their guard. Tonight, we will have a good night's defense so that we can lure Bai Yeyu and Zhan Xiong to ambush us.

Tao Lin, He Shoufou, Fan Baichuan and the rest were all shocked, who would have thought that all of this was under the control of the young miss and Chen Ling. The people who were originally at a loss were even starting to worry about the situation, and now they were all relaxed.

"The young miss is wise, she already had a plan, to attract Bai Yeyu and the others to submit, it is truly brilliant!"

Bai Ruoxi said: This is all Chen Ling's plan, she has calculated that Bai Yeyu and Zhan Xiong will look down on everyone, after we release the news that we are returning to the Zhao Nation, he will definitely come tonight to launch a sneak attack, and let us prepare in advance to kill off all these evil people!

"So it's the Lieutenant Chen. I never thought that he would have such a scheme at such a young age. No wonder he was able to enter deep into the formation of one hundred thousand Qin Army and capture the enemy commander alive, as if he was unmanned!" The deacon elder said with interest.

"A hero comes out of a youth. He really is one of the most talented people in the Wei Kingdom!" Martial Master Fan Baichuan also opened his mouth to praise.

"Eldest Miss, we are lacking in manpower, how about we retaliate against these bandits and bandits?" Tao Lin asked cautiously.

Bai Ruoxi smiled brightly: "Don't worry, Chen Ling has already brought five hundred troops to hide in the wilderness. As long as Bai Yeyu and Zhan Xiong and their men attack in the night, when we receive the signal, we will prepare to fire the rockets into the camp and the forest. As they talked, she began to admire the young man more and more, the scheme seemed to have become more and more complicated, as though they were in control of each other. She did not know how Chen Ling had thought of this, but if he could get rid of Bai Yeyu, it would be equivalent to getting rid of the tumor in the Lady Bai family, and remove her greatest obstruction.

"Reporting to Miss, we've caught the spy." The clan warrior's voice came from outside the tent.

Bai Ruoxi smiled lightly: "Bring him in."

Two guards were escorting a young man tied up with flowers. He was about 25 or 26 years old and was wearing tight clothes. He was a member of the White Clan and was brought to the tent.

"Bai Tao, I didn't expect it to be you!" Bai Ruoxi's eyes flashed, full of sternness.

"Release me quickly, the news has already been passed on to the young master. Not long after, he will bring some people to surround and kill you, release me, and make amends in front of the young master. Perhaps, he can even save your lives, otherwise, you will all die!"

"Here!" The two warriors covered Bai Tao's mouth with a cloth and dragged him out for execution.
