Last night, Hong Jin followed the short and fat man and the skinny guy and happened to overhear their conversation with Huo. The focus was on scheming against Yan Lin, but in addition to Yan Lin, a huge amount of information was also revealed.
After the three of them separated, Hong Jin immediately decided to follow Huo and sneaked to the mountains more than ten miles away.
"That area is vast, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain have long since relocated because they couldn't stand the harassment from the bandits. I saw Huo meeting someone, so I went to investigate out of curiosity."
Now that she was here, Hong Jin didn't want to make a wasted trip. "I've made up my mind. If no one finds me, I'll rob some money and leave."
But when they reached the mountain, Hong Jin was shocked!
There are mountains within mountains, and at least tens of thousands of people live in neat rows of thatched houses.
"A flat mountain area, transformed into a battlefield like the northern camp, must be the hideout where the person behind the scenes raises his own soldiers!"
That night, Hong Jin groped his way into the room. There were more than a dozen men living in one room. Not only were they strong, but they also had sharp observation skills.
If Hong Jin hadn't been so capable, he would have been discovered long ago.
"Mrs. Huo and her husband are in charge of the mountain, training their own soldiers. They have a beautiful but somewhat mentally retarded daughter. Mrs. Huo was persuaded by the short and skinny man to snatch Yan Lin as her son-in-law and keep him by her side."
Hong Jin took a deep breath, a trace of worry on her face. "Everything you worried about has happened, and it's even more troublesome."
Yan Lin's father, Yan Song, was the one who made the immortal powder. He shared the same master with Huo and the short, fat and skinny guy.
"So, if Yan Lin returns to the Yan family, he might end up in danger."
Jiang Yuzhu frowned in thought, and after a long silence, she said, "Private soldiers and the Immortal Powder are two different lines, two major problems."
Jiang Yuzhu has been observing the mice while feeding them Shenxian San these days. From the beginning of feeding them regularly and in appropriate amounts to the current irregular feeding, the two mice have become irritable and bite each other until they are covered in blood. Only by using Shenxian San can they get a moment of peace.
If this is the case with mice, if it is used on humans, even the person with the strongest willpower can be easily controlled!
"Madam, should we tell Doctor Yan?"
Hong Jin was also very worried. It was all because of the bad advice given by the short and fat guy and the skinny guy. Yan Lin had been targeted.
Jiang Yuzhu lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and chuckled, "Will it be useful to tell him?"
The problem is a bit tricky, but from another perspective, we at least have a grasp of the hidden clues hidden by the mastermind behind the scenes, which is really a blessing from heaven.
"Yan Lin hates the Immortal Powder, but he's in the Yan family, so he must have many reasons to do so. If you use his mother to threaten him, who do you think Yan Lin will help?"
No one can stand the test.
After hearing this, Hong Xiu admired him and said, "Madam, my admiration for you cannot be expressed in words. You can see that the short fat man and the skinny bamboo pole have ulterior motives, which is really..."
What was their purpose in deliberately disguising themselves as a caravan to approach the group?
"Could it be that after the Madam gives birth, she will kidnap the young master and young lady to threaten the Master?"
The more Hong Xiu thought about it, the more scared she became. She always felt that there was a great possibility.
The two maids gathered together to discuss. Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were calm and composed as she said, "Hongxiu, Hongjin, you should know that everyone has weaknesses."
If Jiang Yuzhu and his offspring are Xie Zhao's weaknesses, then Sha Ya is the Huo couple's soft spot.
"The short and fat guy and the skinny guy know how to use the Huo family to deal with Yan Lin, so we can do the same."
Jiang Yuzhu unfolded the map and drew a circle around Ancheng in front.
"Ancheng is a hub between the north and the south, well-connected. It's no wonder the person behind the scenes would leave his private soldiers in Ancheng."
Whether there is a war in the capital, the north or the northwest, the distance from Ancheng is almost the same.
Ancheng has a large population and a high turnover of merchants, so hiding tens of thousands or even more people would not be easily detected.
Hong Jin was in a state of confusion, her expression changing constantly as she said, "Madam, there are at least tens of thousands of private soldiers. Trying to control them is like trying to hit a rock with an egg."
Tens of thousands of people making trouble is enough to cause chaos in Ancheng.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu patted the back of Hong Jin's hand and curled her lips: "The Huo couple defected to the mastermind behind the scenes, and the private soldiers were also secretly recruited by the couple bit by bit, is that right?"
Hong Jin hesitated for a moment and replied, "That's what I heard."
"Mrs. Huo loves her daughter dearly, and because of that silly girl, she was persuaded by the short fat guy and the skinny guy, and she wanted to act behind her master's back and kidnap Yan Lin to be her son-in-law. Is that right or not?"
"yes."
Hong Jin blinked, not realizing how the two were related.
She looked at Hongxiu, who spread her hands and could only say that the lady's ability to scheme against others was no worse than the master's.
Only at this time would Hongxiu sigh that people of the same family are alike. She used to think that the lady was simple-minded, but now it seems that the lady is hiding something!
Jiang Yuzhu paused for a moment and continued, "If we take the initiative and kidnap Silly Girl to threaten the Huo couple, what will the short fat guy and the skinny guy do when they find out?"
After being enlightened, Hong Jin suddenly felt enlightened, as if she had been walking in the fog before and finally saw the light.
"I understand!"
Once the Huo family intends to betray their master, the short and fat man and the skinny bamboo pole cannot be separated from the responsibility. After all, it was the two of them who instigated this matter, and they will definitely be implicated.
Even if Sha Ya is rescued, if her own side finds out that Sha Ya is the Huo couple's weak point, she will still face the risk of being caught again.
Since this is the case, it is better to prevent future troubles.
"If we kill that silly girl, the Huo couple will only be loyal to their master and serve him better."
Hong Jin analyzed step by step, "Madam, what you mean is that if the Huo family finds out that the short fat man and the skinny guy are not trying to save people but are trying to kill them, will the two sides become enemies?"
"What else?"
Jiang Yuzhu gave a determined smile, with calculation in her eyes.
It was annoying to be stared at when going out, so she had to get rid of it. She was responsible for setting up the stage, and this play had to be performed by Shorty, Skinny Bamboo, Mrs. Huo and others.
Hong Xiu raised her thumbs and made a prostrate gesture. "Madam, this tactic of sowing discord and killing with a borrowed knife is really good. You use the silly girl to stir up trouble. Once the Huo family wipes out the short fat man's group of idiots..."
"It's not over yet."
Jiang Yuzhu blew away the tea foam that had risen from the teacup. "Bring Shaya with you, and the Huo family will definitely be of use to us."
It would be better to give it to her instead of leaving tens of thousands of private soldiers to the mastermind!
The private soldiers treated the Huo couple as brothers and obeyed their arrangements.
Jiang Yuzhu took over and brought the people from Ancheng Mountain to Jiangnan, directly across the Ming Road.
Hong Jin and Hong Xiu were dumbfounded and stammered, "Madam, are we taking so many people with us?"
"Is this bad?"
Touching her swollen belly, Jiang Yuzhu became more determined. "Women are always vulnerable before and after childbirth. You all know that I've offended many villains in the capital, such as the Wei family, the Xuan family, and Feng Qing. That group of people are desperate. If they can't deal with Yuanhe, won't they come up with other ideas?"
All persimmons are soft and can be squeezed. As the saying goes, prepare for a rainy day.
