Chapter 449: She is indeed not an ordinary weak woman
"You said there was chaos on the top of the mountain?"
Huangfu Cheng frowned as he looked at the spy who had rushed back just as they were about to take action.
His eyes fell on Lin Mo, "What did you do at the top of the mountain?"
Martial law was also imposed.
This woman really knows how to cause trouble.
Lin Mo looked innocent, "I'm a weak woman, what can I do?"
Huangfu Cheng curled the corner of his mouth. A weak woman who punched a big buffalo and sent it flying?
She is indeed not an ordinary weak woman.
He turned to look at the scout, "What's going on on the mountain?"
The spy glanced at Lin Mo and lowered his head, "I heard that someone escaped, and they are now on alert throughout the mountain to search for him.
It seems that the person who is missing is very important to them.”
Huangfu Cheng turned his head and looked at Lin Jiuyi again, "Looking for you?"
"It should be." Lin Mo looked innocent:
"I was kidnapped by them pretending to be Han Ting. Normally, I should be locked up in prison. Now they should have discovered that I am missing."
Tsk tsk, she thought these people had discovered it last night.
I didn't expect to find out until dawn.
What a perfunctory approach!
Huangfu Cheng curled the corner of his mouth. What she said was really nonchalant, as if she was saying that she had not eaten today.
Taking a deep breath, Huangfu Cheng said seriously:
"Since martial law has been declared, your plan to split the troops into two groups may need to be revised!"
Seeing his expression, Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him:
"Honestly, I don't like your expression. I can tell at a glance that you're plotting against me."
Huangfu Cheng grinned, "You go to the front to attract their attention, and we will surround them from behind and kill them by surprise."
In this way, losses will be minimized.
"Let me be the bait?" Lin Mo grinned, revealing his small white teeth.
"I'm pretty sure you'll never meet my sister-in-law in your lifetime."
With such an attitude, he still wants to marry her sister-in-law. What is he thinking?
Her sister-in-law would not choose someone who would use her beloved sister-in-law as bait.
Huangfu Cheng, “…”
A naked threat.
"Then find another way." Huangfu Cheng was depressed. It felt really bad to have someone take advantage of his weaknesses.
Lin Mo snorted coldly, "Why should we think of another way? This is it! I've made the bait. If they can't kill me, then I'll kill them."
Huangfu Cheng was shocked and shook his head subconsciously:
"No, don't put yourself in danger.
Blame me, it's all my fault for not speaking without thinking. Let's think about this plan again."
If she took the risk, the little girl knew she would never let herself go.
She already dislikes me so much now. If I really let her sister-in-law be bait, wouldn't she dislike me even more?
It’s too difficult!
Huangfu Cheng gritted his teeth. He was somewhat suspicious whether the person who gave him this idea was trying to trick him.
If you want to please a little girl, you have to please the family she cares about. Does it really work?
"If I don't act as bait, who will?" Lin Mo said with an innocent look on his face.
"I'll go, I'll go." Huangfu Cheng quickly took over the conversation.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" Lin Mo answered quickly with a bright smile on his face.
Huangfu Cheng, “…”
He had a feeling that he was being schemed against, but he had no evidence.
Huangfu Cheng shook his head and said, forget it.
Let him be the bait, it's his own fault that he fell into the hands of the Xu family.
Afterwards, the two of them started discussing their next action plan.
After discussing all the plans, Huangfu Cheng handed his men over to Lin Mo's command, while he turned around to act as bait.
Looking at Huangfu Cheng's tall back as he left, Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly.
"Ping An, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Xu Pingan glanced at Huangfu Cheng's back and shook his head, "It's definitely not simple.
I'm afraid he deliberately showed us this side of himself.
We don’t know his true character.”
According to the information they collected, the leader of Baixin Pavilion is a cold-blooded person who keeps a certain distance from others.
The person in front of me has nothing to do with these. It can only be said that he hides himself very deeply.
Lin Mo nodded, "This Huangfu Cheng is an old fox. Don't believe everything he says.
Give the order to keep a close eye on him and don't let him get in touch with the young lady."
Given her sister-in-law's personality, she is definitely no match for this old fox.
Who knows what this old fox is up to?
They didn't know whether he really liked her sister-in-law or had other intentions.
It’s better to avoid it.
Xu Ping'an nodded.
Lin Mo didn't say anything else. She called everyone over and divided them into two groups.
A small number of people went up from the front, and the rest followed her into the tunnel.
As for the people lying in ambush and on guard around the tunnel, Lin Mo signaled Xu Ping'an and Xu Pingnan to deal with them first.
After making sure there was no danger, Lin Mo led his men into the tunnel.
This ambush was fought with the help of both inside and outside forces, and with the goal of catching the enemy by surprise.
In addition, Huangfu Cheng attracted all the enemy's attention in the front, so the battle was particularly successful.
It only took them an hour to kill the last person.
Huangfu Cheng let out a breath and immediately waved his hand to have his men search around to see if there was anyone alive.
He didn't want the news of the destruction of this place to leak out. Once the news of the destruction of this place leaked out, it would be very disadvantageous to him.
Seeing Lin Mo walking towards him, Huangfu Cheng curled his lips slightly:
"Mrs. Xu, I think my bait was successful."
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, "Not bad.
The leader of Baixin Pavilion is truly no ordinary person."
Huangfu Cheng always felt that this was harsh, but he shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
He stared at Lin Mo with a smile on his face:
“Don’t worry, all the property found here will be yours.
Just buy some good food and drinks for the little girl, I won’t compete with you.”
"So generous?" Lin Mo walked a few steps past him, looking at the people searching ahead, the corners of her mouth curled up again:
"But I thank you for your kindness. I despise the rubbish in this bandit's den, so I'd better leave it to you. After all, you have more men and more strength."
Huangfu Cheng raised his eyebrows. Is she so generous?
I always feel like this is a trap.
From the information I received, she seemed to be a money-hungry person.
These Beiling people have been operating here for decades, and the wealth accumulated here is not enough to rival a country, but it is definitely not to be underestimated.
When she was short of money, she refused to eat the fat meat right in front of her. It seemed like something was wrong no matter how she looked at it.
"Mrs. Xu, you are so generous.
But since you need money, I'd better leave it to you. After all, I have plenty of money."
To be on the safe side, Huangfu Cheng refused.
Seeing that he looked like a nouveau riche, Lin Mo curled the corner of her mouth, "Are you sure you don't want it?
I tell you, if you give it to me, you must not regret it."
Huangfu Cheng chuckled, "Of course, but..."
"I knew you wouldn't be so generous." Lin Mo interrupted him and shook her head:
"So I've decided to give you the money. I only want the books and the intelligence they've collected."
Seeing Huangfu Cheng’s stiff face, Lin Mo was in a good mood.
It feels good to lead the army.
Huangfu Cheng smiled bitterly, he knew that the other party had seen through his intentions.
Money is indeed not important to him; what is important is the information here.
This is the largest stronghold that Beiling has stationed in Daye. All the intelligence they collect about Daye will eventually be sent here, and then someone will be arranged to transmit it back to Beiling.
Huangfu Cheng shook his head and looked at Lin Mo seriously:
“Mrs. Xu, their intelligence will be of little use to you.
You take the money, and I take these, isn't it good?"
Lin Mo looked innocent, "What's wrong with that?
Do I look like someone who needs money?"
"Yes, you don't need it." Huangfu Cheng sighed. He was trying to find a way to convince Lin Mo, but at this moment, Lin Mo took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed it to him.
Huangfu Cheng looked at the stack of banknotes with a look of surprise, "Madam Xu, what do you mean by this?"
Is she going to pay for the information here?
"Didn't you give my sister-in-law a lot of gold, silver and jewelry? We calculated it, and it's worth about 100,000 taels." Lin Mo looked nonchalant and reached out to stuff the banknote into his hand.
"This silver is the money I used to buy those gold, silver and jewelry from you. Take it."
Huangfu Cheng's hands were shaking, and he dodged it directly without taking the banknote:
"I gave her those flowers."
"Do you understand the principle of no reward without merit?" Lin Mo said with disdain:
“If you don’t understand this, do you know that teaching her privately will ruin her reputation?
Huangfu Cheng, it's a good thing I didn't curse you, just take the money quickly."
Huangfu Cheng wanted to speak, but Lin Mo didn't give him a chance:
"Don't try to fool me with that engagement letter. You know exactly where it came from."
Huangfu Cheng smiled bitterly, really direct.
The Xu family actually doesn't even look down on someone like me, so what kind of man do they want to find for her?
Huangfu Cheng raised his head, his face less careless and more serious:
"The engagement letter is real, and there is no way I can break off the engagement with him.
Those gold, silver and jewels are my betrothal gifts to her, so is that all right?"
But if that's all, the betrothal gift is a bit shabby.
After returning, I need to prepare more.
Lin Mo was disgusted, "You said it is?
Believe it or not, if his brother were standing here today, you would have already laid down.
So don't talk nonsense in front of me, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temper."
After that, she stuffed the banknote into his hand again and said, "Take your things back. The engagement is invalid."
Huangfu Cheng frowned, "You are not her, can't you make the decision for her?"
"An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Understand these four words." Lin Mo raised his eyebrows:
"Do you think I have the right to make the decision for her?
And you…"
Lin Mo despised, "You're not worthy of my sister-in-law!"
