Chapter 494: Hell is empty, the devil is on earth
Looking at the brightly lit courtyard in front of him, Lin Mo turned to look at Xu Dapeng standing beside him, "Uncle Peng, have someone watch over it. No outsiders are allowed to enter this courtyard.
Also, don't tell anyone about what's going on in this yard, got it?"
A cold light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and she wanted to attack by surprise.
Then this batch of weapons becomes very important.
It must not be leaked in advance.
Xu Dapeng naturally knew the importance of this matter and nodded seriously:
"Young Madam, please rest assured. I will not let anyone in or out of this yard. As for food, I will take care of it."
Lin Mo's expression softened a bit and she nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!"
And Song Yi...
A cold light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. "Tell me, if Song Yi died, who would be the most likely to take his place?"
She knew that Xu Dapeng was familiar with court affairs, and if she asked him questions about this, he would definitely know something.
Xu Dapeng thought for a moment and looked up, "Zhao Yi."
Lin Mo frowned. She had heard of Zhao Yi, but this man was not suitable. He was very patriotic. If he came here, it would be disadvantageous to them.
She shook her head. "Is there any way to get the prince's former subordinates here?"
"There's no way." Xu Dapeng shook his head and smiled bitterly:
“After the prince’s death, those who followed him were either demoted or dismissed from office, and only a few remained in the court.
The rest of the people left because their qualifications are not enough to hold this position."
The position of the General of the Zhenbei Army is not open to anyone who wants to sit on it.
Lin Mo frowned, "So Song Yi can't die yet?"
"Yeah." Xu Dapeng nodded. "Song Yi is a selfish person. He has no regard for his country or family. It is in our best interest for him to be in this position."
If it were someone who was deeply attached to his country and family, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Xu family grow in power.
Therefore, Song Yi cannot die.
Lin Mo sighed, "I understand."
Killing a person is much easier than keeping him alive.
Xu Dapeng looked at her hesitantly, "Young Madam, you won't take any risks, will you?"
He looked conflicted, should he try to persuade her?
The young lady is a lucky star. She can turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing by accident.
Along the way, many things were shattered by her.
But he was afraid that she would take risks. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Lin Mo, “…”
Could she say that was what she meant?
She originally wanted to kill Song Yi and then get someone from her side to be the General Zhenbei.
It seems unrealistic now. If they get rid of Song Yi and replace her with someone else, they will probably be in more trouble.
Lin Mo said with a stern face, "Uncle Peng, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about.
This is a bad habit and needs to be changed.
Also, I will be resting in my room today. No one should disturb me until I come out.
I'm dying of exhaustion. I'm going to sleep until I wake up naturally."
After saying that, she stretched and left.
Xu Dapeng, "..."
Did he say anything?
Xu Dapeng sighed and shook his head, okay, stop interfering in the young lady's affairs.
Then he turned around to arrange other things.
And on Lin Mo's side.
After returning to the room, he entered the space, then turned around and left the room, heading straight out of Yuancheng.
Just kidding, it's not her character to sit and wait for death.
If there is a shortcut, why don’t you take it? Why pretend to be a good person?
She was never a good person, on the contrary she was very immoral.
I am immoral, but I am happy. Lin Mo believes this.
After she left Beijia Village, she released a horse directly from the space, and then rode the horse quickly towards the Zhenbei Army’s camp. It was just dawn at this time.
The Zhenbei Army was stationed about half a day's journey away from Beijia Village.
She calculated the distance and thought that if she walked fast enough, she would be able to get back by the end of the day, and no one would notice she had left.
She made up her mind.
I want to break Song Yi's legs, or if possible, make her mute.
As long as he is still there, who cares whether he can talk, walk or write?
Great, let’s do that.
Song Yi's downfall is good for him.
And on Song Yi's side.
After waking up in the morning, I started sneezing non-stop.
This made his confidant Song Zhiyuan frown.
"General, are you sick?
Do you want me to ask a military doctor to come and take a look at you?"
Song Yi shook her head disapprovingly, "No need.
I guess it’s because I slept too late last night and I felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
It will be fine in a moment, no need to make a fuss."
Song Zhiyuan nodded, then frowned, "General, are you really going to take action against the Xu family?"
"What, are you soft-hearted?" Song Yi looked at him with a murderous look in his eyes.
Song Zhiyuan quickly lowered his head and shook his head, "No.
It’s just that the other party is a member of the Xu family, not anyone else.
The Xu family has always been brave and valiant. I'm afraid we'll suffer a loss if we fight them. After all, there are only five hundred of us."
Everyone knows that the Xu family is brave and good at fighting.
There are countless examples of winning with fewer people.
To be honest, he didn't want to touch the Xu family.
Song Yi's expression softened, "You don't have to worry about that.
Of course I know that the Xu family is not easy to deal with, otherwise I wouldn't have tolerated them until now.
If they stayed quietly in Beijia Village, I wouldn't bother to deal with them.
But they have now extended their reach to Mo City. If left unchecked, their power will only grow.
If they dig up what we did, it would be detrimental to us."
Having said that, Song Yi's eyes became gloomy and terrifying.
His mortal enemy was actually there with him. If he had known this earlier, he would have destroyed them before the Xu family could develop.
But it’s not too late now, the Xu family has not yet fully established itself.
Song Yi calmed herself down, then looked at Song Zhiyuan calmly:
"Don't worry, you will lead the vanguard there. When you arrive near the Xu family, find a place to hide and observe the terrain first.
When the time comes, wait for my notification and I will bring people to support you half an hour after you take action.
As always, we should treat the people in this village as bandits and say we are here to suppress them."
At this point, Song Yi's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm. "Let me tell you, Beijia Village has a good harvest this year. If we rob them, we won't have to worry about food this winter."
It will also free up our hands to resist the Beiling people. At the cost of only one village, we can protect more people, and we don't have to worry about our past being exposed. This deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it."
Song Zhiyuan lowered his head and said, "I will follow the general's orders."
Song Yi sighed, “We are all common people working for a great cause.
As you know, the imperial court hasn't sent military pay for several months, and even military rations haven't been delivered on time. If we don't find a way out on our own, let alone resisting the Beiling people, even our survival will be in jeopardy."
Song Zhiyuan didn't say anything.
Song Yi reached out and patted his shoulder. "Alright, take your men to train for two hours, then have a meal and rest. We'll set off at 5 p.m. It will be late at night when we get there, so we can find a place to hide in the dark."
Song Zhiyuan nodded, then walked quickly forward.
Song Yi looked at Song Zhiyuan's figure with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
Then he turned and walked towards the tent behind him.
The Xu family's wealth is enough to rival a country, and the Song family must take over this piece of the pie.
If they can chew this bone, the strength of their Song family will be able to reach a higher level.
He needs to plan carefully what to do.
The Xu family is not that easy to deal with.
The bandit suppression he just mentioned was real bandit suppression, but the bandits involved were Song Zhiyuan and his gang.
He needed to use the name of suppressing bandits to legitimately eliminate the Xu family and the people of Beijia Village.
Song Yi looked gloomy.
Song Zhiyuan, don't worry. After you die, I will definitely help you take good care of your family.
Song Yi was satisfied. How could there be no sacrifices in a war?
Only when there are sacrifices does it feel like war.
…
Lin Mo arrived at the Zhenbei Army’s base before 3 p.m.
She got off the horse and entered the space with the horse.
After entering the space, Lin Mo swaggered towards the Zhenbei Army’s base.
When she stepped into the Zhenbei Army's training ground, a team in simple clothes happened to leave.
Lin Mo's face darkened until they started to act.
She didn't dare to waste any more time and immediately walked quickly forward.
Lin Mo didn't even glance at the Zhenbei Army training on the training ground.
The shouts are real, and the sweat is real.
But it couldn't arouse any emotion in her.
If she didn't know the evil things Song Yi had done, after seeing this scene, she would almost think that these soldiers were really a group of good soldiers defending their country.
These people's diligence is not to defend their country, but to bully their own people, so she simply sneered at their current diligence.
As the saying goes, 'Hell is empty, but the devil is on earth', none of these soldiers here have clean hands.
No matter how well they hide the evil they have done, there will always be traces of it.
She had checked, and combined with the information sent by Huangfu Cheng, she found that the so-called Beiling people who went south to plunder food in previous years were most likely people sent by Song Yi.
Therefore, what the Zhenbei Army did was not humane.
Lin Mo looked down on him and searched for Song Yi in the huge military camp. In the end, he didn't find him, but he found the tent where Song Yi lived.
Everything in the tent was simple. A quilt was neatly placed on the camp bed in the corner, and an open book was placed on the quilt.
In the middle of the tent was a large desk with some books neatly placed on the table.
Lin Mo frowned and did not touch the books on the desk.
No one would be so careless as to put secrets in books.
Song Yi's body is not clean. He must be hiding something for self-protection or other purposes, and he cannot carry these things with him.
The only place to hide is where he lives.
Lin Mo had been hanging out with Wuyou for a while, and after she fumbled around with the desk, she quickly found what was wrong with it.
About a quarter of the space in the cabinet under the desk disappeared.
There is a problem here.
Lin Mo pressed it down slowly.
