"Brother, then you should accept it."
"Anyway, our eldest sister-in-law only has seven, so let her be the eighth sister-in-law."
"That's right, that's right, let's go, big brother!"
A jeer and laughter came from the other side, which made the burly man even more smug: "Little lady, my name is Li Daniu, you can call me Niulang. I guarantee you'll be comfortable if you follow me from now on."
The tone of those words was utterly disgusting.
Cheng Shanshan frowned slightly, then a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she didn't show it and pointed to the cloud ladder: "You guys have done a good job with this thing, who gave you the idea?"
"Of course..."
Li Daniu was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Hey, you little lady, you're trying to talk me out of this!"
Cheng Shanshan didn't confront him directly, but softened her tone: "Do you think that I'm just a young woman who doesn't know anything about farming or anything? What if you tell me all your secrets?"
That's true.
Li Daniu stopped moving.
Then, with a smug look in his eyes, he said, "Now I have a strategist on my side. He's incredibly capable. With his help, we've plundered a lot of food and drink. Once we take over your Ping'an City, life will definitely be even more enjoyable."
"military adviser?"
Cheng Shanshan raised an eyebrow.
He then looked at the towering cloud ladder opposite him.
Then, his smile vanished, and he said seriously, "Did that strategist tell you that this siege ladder has a drawback?"
"What?"
The other party was completely puzzled.
Suddenly, Cheng Shanshan's eyes turned cold!
The next instant, the dagger in her hand severed the rope around his waist, and then she pressed it against his throat: "For example, if the rope breaks, you won't be able to go back."
"..."
Li Daniu stared with eyes as wide as a bull's.
He never expected Cheng Shanshan to be so quick and ruthless: "You woman..."
"Smack!"
He slapped her across the face.
Cheng Shanshan showed absolutely no mercy.
This action angered Li Daniu so much that he was about to retaliate, but the knife on his neck cut through his flesh with just a little force.
Cheng Shanshan said coldly, "If you want to die, I can grant your wish."
“…You woman, really…”
"Watch your mouth!"
Cheng Shanshan rebuked her coldly.
The person on the other side panicked when they saw this and quickly shouted, "Brother! Let my brother go!"
"Tell them to remove the ladders and come back to pick you up tomorrow."
"On what grounds?"
Setting up the ladder was extremely difficult; dismantling it would be a death sentence for him.
Cheng Shanshan stepped forward and closed the distance between them slightly: "Do you think I can take your life right now?"
The oppressive feeling of death forced Li Daniu to submit, but after ordering the other party to retreat, he glared fiercely at Cheng Shanshan: "I was careless today. Don't think you've won just because of this. I can kill you anytime!" Lust is a dangerous thing, and this saying is really true.
He just acted impulsively, thinking that what could a group of women in front of him possibly do?
Who would have thought he would actually run into someone as ruthless as Cheng Shanshan? Now she has not only tied him up but also hung him upside down, making a bunch of people watch him like he's a monkey.
Enraged, Li Daniu roared, "Get the hell out of here, or I'll kill you all!"
"Even in this state, you still have such a big mouth."
"That's right, Shanshan just snapped her fingers and caught you, you idiot. You brainless thing, yet you dare to threaten us."
Li Daniu was furious at being looked down upon: "Just you wait, don't give me a chance, or I'll tear you all apart one by one."
"Then we'll just not give you a chance."
These words were spoken by Cheng Shanshan. She looked Li Daniu up and down and said, "After all, you don't seem to be of much use. It would be better to kill you and throw you into the valley."
"You want to kill me?"
Li Daniu didn't suspect anything.
Because he truly saw murderous intent in her eyes.
In this situation, he feigned composure: "You've only kidnapped me to take me hostage, so don't try to trick me into saying anything. Do you think I'm easily scared?"
"Even when you're a hostage, someone should care, right?" Cheng Shanshan glanced at him silently, her eyes full of sympathy. "I don't know if I should tell you, but your brothers on the other side aren't worried at all; they're actually drinking and having a good time."
"What did you say?!"
If Li Daniu hadn't been tied up, he probably would have jumped up on the spot by now.
Cheng Shanshan sighed: "Actually, I originally wanted to take you hostage so that your group of brothers wouldn't bother with our Ping'an City. But looking at it this way... it seems like nobody cares about you."
"No...impossible!"
Li Daniu's emotions were truly ignited.
As he finished speaking, he struggled violently to break the rope: "Let me go, I want to go back."
"Mother, where's the cold water I asked you to prepare?"
"I just chilled it outside, see if it's okay?" Bai brought over a bucket of water.
Without even looking, Cheng Shanshan raised the glass and splashed it on Li Daniu.
The bone-chilling cold froze him instantly, and his teeth chattered involuntarily...
This scene is truly chilling to watch.
Everyone present involuntarily shuddered.
Cheng Shanshan looked at the man named Li Daniu: "You just said you have a strategist on your side. Who is the strategist?" The events in the city were interconnected. First, the Li family's rice shop caught fire, and then Jiang Niangzi and all the men in the city disappeared.
All of this made her realize that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy.
Li Daniu's lips turned purple: "I won't say."
"Not going to talk?"
Cheng Shanshan straightened up: "Then let's not talk about it." Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry; after all, boiling a frog in lukewarm water was the best approach.
"..."
Li Daniu glanced at Cheng Shanshan.
The change in their gaze from ferocity to terror happened in an instant.
That night.
The moon is bright and the stars are few.
This night seemed destined to be a sleepless one.
The next morning, the people on the other side had already set up the ladder again and continued to shout across the air: "Listen up, you guys on the other side, release our big brother right now, or don't blame us for being impolite."
uniform.
The archers are ready.
The key point is that there were even strips of cotton cloth tied on it.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Shisi couldn't help but ask, "What do they mean by this?"
“There’s cotton cloth on the arrow, and there should be tung oil and torches next to it.” Cheng Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly, then sneered, “They’re trying to destroy everything on our side because they can’t win the fight.”
"Then what should we do?"
Cheng Shisi panicked a little.
"It's alright. We shouldn't be the ones who're afraid, but this idiot." Cheng Shanshan said, rolling her eyes at Li Daniu with utter contempt in her eyes. "Now you know, he never intended to save you, right?"
