When only she and Han Shuang remained in the courtyard, Mo Lan was silent for a moment, then said, "Pack up and tell the brothers that we're leaving too."
"Boss, with you helping Prince Qin secretly carry out his plan, we're safe. But once King Ji realizes what's happening, he'll definitely investigate thoroughly. What if the investigation leads back to us?"
Even if the Ji Kingdom's military strength is insufficient, it can still manage to suppress the bandits first.
If hundreds of thousands of troops were to invade, Qinglong Village would certainly be in danger.
Hearing Han Shuang's worries, Mo Lan stood up, brushed off imaginary dust from her clothes, and squinted at the distant jade tower.
“I know what you’re saying, which is why I wanted to help Qin Su privately, as a way to build a good relationship. That person has extraordinary potential. As for the State of Ji, what Qin Su said is true. The ruler is too mediocre and lacks political acumen, so its decline is inevitable. If any wrong decisions are made during this period, it will be annexed sooner or later. At that time, this land will no longer be under the control of the State of Ji.”
Although Qin Su said he wouldn't attack the Ji Kingdom, it was simply because he was afraid of giving others ammunition to criticize him. If someone invaded, he would be the first to stand up and fight. At that time, taking back the city from someone else would have a different meaning.
Therefore, Mo Lan concluded that this person was taking a roundabout approach.
Even if he were to reclaim the entire State of Ji and return it to the King of Ji, they would not dare to take it back and would only slink away in disgrace. At that time, the world would only praise the Qin clan for their benevolence and righteousness, and there would be no bad rumors.
Since the world will change hands sooner or later, why shouldn't she lend a hand?
Even if she is perfect in every way, Qin Su's approach will not change.
Listening to the boss's analysis, Han Shuang fell silent. Qin Su was no ordinary person; if the timing was right, he would surely soar to great heights.
"Boss, what if we end up on the opposite side of Prince Qin in the future?" That man has the ambition to unify the world, and their Qinglong Village should also be among those to be conquered.
"Unifying the world is not so easy. Right now, I'm doing him a favor. Even if he's ruthless, he won't target us. In the meantime, we won't sit idly by and wait for someone to put a knife to our throats."
Mo Lan looked down at the map in her hand, her eyes fixed on the northeast of Ye County. The area was sparsely populated and had a cold climate, but the land was fertile. With proper planning, food would not be a problem.
No one has noticed that spot yet. If they manage to establish a foothold and reinforce the city walls first, even Qin Su will dare to attack easily.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan's eyes showed regret. She had originally planned to discuss with Qin Su about cooperating again to transport some asphalt from Fandi back to pave roads, but now, given the situation, it seemed impossible.
After a quick tidy-up, the two returned directly to their small courtyard.
"Han Shuang, your revenge plan may have to be brought forward. Immediately dispatch the elites of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and contact the elders of the Le Lou you trust, to directly kill Yue Dewen's family. Take control of Le Lou as soon as possible to facilitate communication later."
Although she also has her own information network, it is still insufficient in scope compared to Le Lou. If the two join forces, even Qin Su will not be able to escape her investigation.
"Yes, boss,"
Upon hearing her boss's instructions, Han Shuang's eyes lit up, and she gripped her longsword tightly. However, thinking of her boss's plan, she hesitated.
