After Qingyi's men got the information, they immediately went back and reported every detail to the leader.

After listening to the report from his men, the tall and burly middle-aged man's deep eyes lit up. They had been lurking in Rongcheng for some time, but Qin Yue was surrounded by many masters, so they didn't dare to approach rashly.

These days, he often saw Qin Yue going to the snack shop and waiting there for an hour or two. He didn't dare to approach rashly and just kept watching from nearby.

Today he saw Qin Yue with that little girl, and that girl worked in that shop.

From Qin Yue's concern for the girl, he saw an opportunity.

They didn't have many people on this trip, and this place was General Qin's territory. In addition, Qin Yue was surrounded by many experts, so it seemed impossible for them to get close to Qin Yue without making any noise.

The girl they saw today might be an opportunity. Could they start with that girl?

The middle-aged man suddenly had a new idea. He immediately asked his men to bring pen and paper and wrote down his idea on a piece of paper.

After finishing writing the plan, he rolled up the note, placed it in a small bamboo tube, and handed it to his men: "Send a pigeon back immediately!"

Their original plan was to lure Qin Yue back, but doing so was obviously very difficult. If they were not careful, all those who came out would be buried in Rongcheng!

Now he thought of a safer and more reliable way. The original plan needed to be changed. Naturally, he had to send a letter back. After getting the general's approval, he could act according to the plan!

The man in green took the sealed letter and was about to leave when the middle-aged man stopped him again and ordered, "Withdraw the men ambushed outside the General's Mansion and keep an eye on Li's shop, especially that girl!"

The subordinate in blue received the order, bowed his head and responded, then left the room and took the order.

Li Yan, who was busy cleaning the sheep bones at the time, had no idea that a crisis was quietly approaching.

Li Yan returned to the shop and said, "Brother, please put a pot in front of the shop. I will prepare a pot of mutton bone soup."

Li Jianmin did not ask his cousin why she did this, but skillfully set up the pot and lit the fire.

Soon, Li Yan put the broken bones into the pot and said, "Brother, add some chili powder later and provide it for passers-by to drink."

Li Jianmin nodded, indicating that he understood.

After his sister left, Li Jianmin moved a small table and placed it next to the stove. He placed a small plate and bowl on the table so that passers-by could take them.

Further west, amidst the endless yellow sand and Gobi desert lies an ancient city - Suzhou City.

Suzhou City is located in the throat area of ​​the Hexi Corridor, an important passage connecting the east and the west. Its location is dangerous and surrounded by numerous mountains that serve as natural defense barriers. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an important strategic location.

However, such an important city was gradually suppressed due to the decline of the Central Plains dynasty's national strength and the pro-Han regime. In a coup more than ten years ago, the barbarians slaughtered the pro-Han forces and eventually took complete control of Suzhou City.

Today, Suzhou City is completely out of the control of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In a luxurious and exquisitely decorated mansion, a tall and burly middle-aged man sat on the main seat. His thick beard and sideburns covered most of his cheeks. He sat on a wooden chair carved with intricate patterns and listened to the report of his subordinates.

"Great Khan, the Jin Dynasty has now opened up its border trade and allowed commerce. I have already arranged for people to infiltrate Rongcheng. I believe our plan will be successfully implemented soon!"

The man on the main seat laughed wildly. He had waited for this day for too long!

He and Qin Bin have been confronting each other for more than ten years, and neither side has been able to defeat the other!

Nowadays, the Jin Dynasty is becoming increasingly weak, and the Northwest Army is defending the city and dares not go out to meet the enemy. In addition, the chess pieces they have been planning for many years are already in place, and it is time for them to take action!

"When you go back, keep an eye on Gena and don't let anything happen to her!" His good sister is the most important link holding this chess piece. Now it is a critical moment in the game, and he doesn't want his hard work to fail!

Temuer's eyes flashed coldly and he bowed in response.

He had been waiting for this day for too long. When he thought of that proud and arrogant woman, with an expression of pain, sadness and despair on her face, he couldn't help but feel a flash of pleasure in his heart!

He would let her know the consequences of betrayal and humiliation. He would let that woman know that her so-called substitution and her scheme to deceive the world were nothing but a trick played by him and the Khan.

Temur had a sinister fantasy that she would crawl on the ground and beg him to let that evil creature go.

He wanted to personally break Gena's pride, pull out the scales on her body, and wipe out the arrogance in her eyes, so that she would willingly crawl under him!

Temur walked out of the hall with ease, grabbed the reins from his attendant, jumped on his horse and drove to his residence impatiently.

The cold wind carrying snow particles hitting his face gradually calmed his excited brain. Now was not the time to show off!

With her arrogant personality, she would never let them threaten that boy with her safety.

He had waited so long, he couldn't be impatient and couldn't let his efforts go to waste! He gradually reined in his horse, turned it around, and headed elsewhere.

Timur and his followers had no regard for the lives of passers-by. He drove his horses and galloped on the main road without any scruples. The pedestrians on the street were terrified when they saw the galloping horses and they dodged away.

There were also pedestrians who were panicking and knocked over street stalls, causing vegetables to fall all over the ground.

Timur, sitting on horseback, didn't care at all and led his men to gallop past without any pause.

In his eyes, these lowly Han people were like ants. If he didn't want to continue enslaving them, crushing them to death would be just a matter of a word.

After the group sped past, the street was in a mess, with fruits and vegetables scattered all over the ground. The stall owners whose stalls were overturned silently picked up the damaged vegetable leaves, and the people who fell on the roadside silently got up and limped away.

There were no words, no curses, as if this had become something they were used to.

From their faces, one can see the resignation and the numbness after being bullied.

Ever since Suzhou was occupied by these barbarians, the people have launched resistance, but without exception, they were all suppressed with bloody violence!

For more than a decade, under the rule of tyranny, the people have lost their freedom and dignity.

Every resistance is futile and only results in more brutal repression.

Deep in their hearts, they long for their homeland and desire for freedom, but unfortunately, such desires become extremely fragile under ruthless rule.

Their edges were gradually smoothed out and their will was worn away. They were the people abandoned by the Jin Dynasty. They could not go anywhere, and the only thing they could do was to survive.
