Chapter 493: When the nest is destroyed, no egg can remain intact
Huangfu Cheng held the wine glass and drank slowly.
Right at this moment.
The door was opened.
He didn't turn around, but just shook his head. "I say, can't you knock on the door before you come in? Respected Seventh Prince."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the man sitting beside him—Li Shengting, the seventh prince of Beiling.
Li Shengting didn't even look at him. He picked up the wine jug and glass, poured himself a glass, and then slowly took a sip.
Then he put down his glass and said, "Knock on the door, do you need it?
This is my place, why can't I go there?"
Huangfu Cheng rolled his eyes, “Well, it’s your place, you have the final say.
If you don’t want to knock, then don’t knock. I’ll lock the door next time.”
Li Shengting was too lazy to waste time talking to him. "Did you pass the news to the Xu family?"
"I thought you didn't care." Huangfu Cheng raised his eyebrows:
"But think about it, it's impossible. After all, your precious son is with him!"
"The pot calling the kettle black." Li Shengting glanced at him, then poured himself a glass of wine.
"With Xu Wuyan not here, do you think a woman like her can run such a big business? Do you want to arrange for someone to take your woman away?"
Lin Tao is with his son.
If the situation goes wrong, Lin Tao will take his son away first, so he is not worried about his safety.
Huangfu Cheng shook his head, "No, don't underestimate her. Madam Xu is not simple. It will be difficult to gain any advantage from her."
Thinking of the last time he clashed with her and how she had tricked him unknowingly, Huangfu Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
The whole family is smart, so he has a long way to go to find a wife.
But it doesn't matter, his wife is still young.
Li Shengting shook his head. Although he would not look down on women, he did not think that a woman could handle it at this time.
Song Yi sent five hundred elites, not fifty.
Regardless of whether the Xu family can hold on, they will probably suffer serious damage.
He looked at Huangfu Cheng, "Are you planning to help?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Huangfu Cheng rolled his eyes.
If his future daughter-in-law's family encountered trouble and he stood by and watched, would she marry him if she knew?
So, he had to help.
"It's you!" Huangfu Cheng looked at Li Shengting with great interest:
"After all, they are your son's savior and his godfather and godmother. Are you going to stand by and watch?
Also, if she hadn't tricked your third brother, would you be so relaxed now? So, you have to be grateful!"
Huangfu Cheng spoke with great sincerity.
When that batch of supplies was delivered to Beiling, I kept trying to find ways to help him get them.
But the other party had been prepared and was heavily guarded as soon as they arrived at the border, so he had no chance to attack at all.
Just when he gave up on the secret robbery and was about to find another way to rob, who knew that there was a ray of hope.
The box was filled with only stones, not a single piece of gold, silver or jewelry!
When he thought of the third prince's changed expression, he wanted to laugh.
It feels so good, do you want it?
When he saw the boxes of stones, he finally understood why Mrs. Xu didn't rob them and let them leave.
At first he thought she was afraid of the enemy's large number of people and didn't want to cause too many casualties.
Who knows it's not the case at all.
He was wrong from the beginning. It was not the case that he was afraid of the enemy's large numbers and did not want to cause too many casualties.
That's because she knew the box was filled with stones.
The stones in the box were probably related to her. Although no one knew how she did it, she definitely helped them a lot.
Thinking of the fact that they gained nothing after clearing Bronze Mountain, Huangfu Cheng shook his head.
That time, she made a lot of money, but she lost a lot.
That woman is very cunning and it is really difficult to get the upper hand from her.
Li Shengting glanced at him and asked, "Am I that kind of person?"
Then he slowly stood up and said, "I sent a letter to the people who stayed over there, asking them to help if things get bad."
After all, his son is still in someone else's hands, he can't just sit back and do nothing.
When Li Shengting reached the door, he glanced back at Huangfu Cheng and said, "Let's go. I need your help."
Huangfu Cheng was disgusted and shook his head with a drunken odor:
"I'm just a tipster. How can I help you? You'd better not look for me."
"Stop talking nonsense." Li Shengting glared at her.
"Walk.
Do you believe that I will make your whereabouts public?
Let his men chase you around?"
"No, whatever you say is what it is. Let's go!"
…
When Qi Zhengfei returned, it was already late at night the next day.
At this time, Lin Mo was still awake.
Xu Pinggui and others were also in the study.
There is a large table in the middle of the study, with a sand table on it.
The sand table restores the terrain of Beijia Village and its surroundings at a one-to-one scale.
This sand table was made by her and Wuyou overnight, and the map was the one drawn by Zhang Tiancheng.
"Mrs. Lin."
Qi Zhengfei walked in with a cloud of dust, and he was still breathing heavily.
"Didn't I tell you to go home and rest after you come back?" Lin Mo frowned.
"Don't worry, they won't act so quickly."
Knowing that Song Yi wanted to use the Zhenbei Army to attack them, she had already sent people to monitor the movements of the Zhenbei Army.
Once the Zhenbei Army makes any movement, he will receive the news.
Moreover, the sentry post on the top of the mountain is now on duty three times a day, keeping watch day and night.
Qi Zhengfei shook his head, "I'm fine, I can handle it.
Song Yi is a villain who has no moral principles.
He might not just be planning a sneak attack, he might also be on guard against other things, like a mole."
Qi Zhengfei had a serious look on his face. He had known Song Yi for so many years and knew him well.
Like Song Yi, she will do anything to achieve her goal.
He would not attack rashly. Once he did, he would kill the opponent with one blow, and he would use any means.
Therefore, before taking action, Song Yi must have made preparations in advance, such as bribing people to drug them in advance.
After hearing Qi Zhengfei's words, Xu Dapeng became serious:
"Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on them and won't give them this opportunity.
Also, we have a lot of people here, so it might be hard to identify the bribed target. It might take time to identify the bribed person."
"Shen family."
Lin Mo raised his head, his face icy, "Arrange people to closely monitor the Shen family and see who they are in contact with.
Everyone who has had contact with them, check them thoroughly."
It is not simple for the Shen family to emerge at this time.
Xu Dapeng nodded, "Yeah."
Lin Mo looked at Qi Zhengfei, "This is the sand table of this area. Take a look. Based on your understanding of Song Yi, where do you think he will launch a surprise attack?
Also, where do you think we should ambush them from?"
The other side has 500 elite soldiers, but they only have 200 people who can fight, and some of them have to be distributed to other places, so there are less than 200 people who can come out to resist.
Their fighting power is limited, so they cannot fight each other head-on.
And the most terrifying thing is that the other side has an army of tens of thousands of people.
If Song Yi arranged another group of people to attack from behind, they would be unable to escape from the pincer attack.
She has space, and can take the risk of taking everyone into the space.
But what about Yuancheng, which has been in operation for almost half a year?
Therefore, they must find a way to stop people from entering Yuancheng.
Qi Zhengfei didn't say anything, he just stared at the sand table.
Lin Mo didn't say anything to disturb him, and was also thinking about what might happen.
When Song Yi takes action, Li Xianlie will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death.
And there is the Shen family.
Maybe some villagers in Beijia Village have been instigated by him in the past few days.
In this way, they are attacked from multiple fronts.
The night is getting darker.
The discussion didn't produce any conclusion.
Lin Mo shook his head wearily:
"Okay, that's all for today. You guys go back and rest, and we'll think about it tomorrow."
After everyone left, Lin Mo packed up his things and prepared to go back to his yard to rest.
I haven't had enough rest these past two days and I feel dizzy and have a headache.
But when she came out of the study and saw Yan Shi and Lin Shuo, she frowned:
"Why are you two still coming down the mountain so late?
Is there something wrong on the mountain?"
Thinking that something might happen on the mountain, Lin Mo's brows furrowed even tighter, and a hint of annoyance appeared in his eyes.
There are too many things to do.
Seeing this, Lin Shuo quickly shook his head and explained:
"Sister, don't worry, everything is fine on the mountain.
It was Mr. Wuyou who asked us to go down the mountain to deliver something to you."
Yan Shi, who was standing by, nodded and said, "Sister Lin, this is what my great uncle asked me to get for you. He said you might need it."
After saying that, he handed over the cloth bag in his hand.
When Lin Mo reached out to take the bag, Yan Shi said seriously:
"Also, Sister Lin, I need ten carpenters. Just find an empty room for me and find them for me."
Anyone who dares to come here and cause trouble for Sister Lin will be waiting for them.
While listening, Lin Mo took out the things in the cloth bag. When he took out a small crossbow, Lin Mo was stunned.
She swallowed nervously:
"Yanshi, did your uncle ask you to do this?"
With this weapon, and a sneak attack, their chances of winning are much greater.
Wuyou had given the blueprints to Lao Xu before, but Lao Xu hadn't been able to make it and was thinking of settling the score with Wuyou. However, Lao Xu later went to Nanshao Country and the matter was delayed.
Yan Shi nodded seriously, "Sister Lin, don't worry, I will help you and won't let anyone bully you."
Lin Mo was touched, but she quickly shook her head. "You're still a child. We will handle these matters. Don't get involved. Don't worry, I will send people to secretly protect you. If the situation gets out of hand, I will escort you away to a safe place."
They had already arranged their escape route.
If they really start fighting, someone will escort them away.
"Sister Lin, when the nest is destroyed, how can the eggs remain intact?" Yan Shi said with a look of disapproval:
“I’m not a kid anymore, I know what I’m doing.
What's more, my great uncle also knows about this!
He said that it was time to let the world know that the Yan family was not extinct.
