In a valley twenty miles away from Rongcheng.
A five-member team is secretly hiding inside.
They sent out a total of ten people this time, disguised as Hu merchants going south to sell furs. Five of them stayed here to collect and transmit information, making final preparations for leaving Rongcheng.
The other five people closely monitored the target's every move in Rongcheng.
"Chief, there is a letter from the general!" The man in green hurried into the room of the inn.
Amur couldn't wait to take the letter from his follower, and was delighted after reading the contents.
The general agreed to his plan!
Based on his intuition of marching and fighting, he felt that it was too dangerous to stay in Rongcheng any longer. The boy was too sensitive. After being discovered by Qin Yue that day, he immediately withdrew the people who were monitoring him.
Fortunately, I made this decision at the beginning, otherwise I would have been exposed.
With his sensitive perception, if you want to take advantage of him, you would be courting disaster. Moreover, this is Qin Bin's home turf, so if you want to abduct Qin Yue, you would lose both the wife and the army!
"Chief, we can't stay in Rongcheng for too long, otherwise people will become suspicious!"
Because food and accommodation cost a lot, merchants cannot stay in one place for a long time. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they need to act as soon as possible!
With a snap, the letter on the table was instantly turned into dust. Amur stood up and ordered, "Give the order and take action in the evening!"
These days they have already discovered Li Yan's movements clearly. She goes to and from shops in the city every day, so it is easy to rob this girl.
All he had to do was wait for her on the road she had to take to go home. As for the other people traveling with her, he didn't take them seriously at all. They were just a few ants that could be easily crushed to death.
Inside Li Ji Snack Shop
After preparing the hot pot base, Li Yan was drinking a bowl of fragrant bone soup.
After finishing the bowl, a warm current instantly surged through her body, spreading to every part of her body. Li Yan couldn't help but sigh, "It feels so good!"
"It's a great idea to offer free hot soup, sister. Now other food stores are following our example and serving hot soup outside their shops!"
Li Yan glanced at the cold wind outside and said with a smile, "This is a good thing. It makes Rongcheng look more lively!"
However, in the past six months, the market outside the city has grown a lot bigger and more prosperous. Li Yan saw longing and hope on the faces of the people walking on the street.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "It's snowing!"
Only then did Li Yan notice that snowflakes were floating in the sky. "It's snowing again!" Li Yan murmured to herself.
The income from the noodle shop, the wages from the fermented tofu workshop, and the income from growing chili peppers should make the villagers more financially comfortable. This year, the villagers of Lijia Village should have enough money to buy warm clothes!
Looking at the falling snowflakes, Li Yan said to her eldest brother, "Brother, let's go home early today. I'll go pack my things first!"
Li Jianmin nodded in agreement. The roads were slippery on snowy days, so it would be better for them to go back early before the snow piled up!
After locking the two shops, Li Jianmin drove a mule cart and led a few people back.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, gradually blurring his vision. Li Jianmin did not dare to go too fast. When he reached the deserted halfway point, there was already a shallow accumulation of snow on the road ahead.
The cold wind, carrying snow, blew on the faces and bodies of several people. Several little girls huddled together, using their backs to protect themselves from the cold.
Li Yan thought to herself that after returning, she would load the mule cart onto the carriage. It was too much suffering in the wind and snow!
Suddenly, the mule cart was stopped.
Although the mule cart was not moving very fast, the girls still staggered a bit due to inertia before they could steady themselves.
Li Yan turned around and was about to ask her cousin what had happened when she saw dozens of masked men in black riding tall horses in front of her, glaring at them with murderous eyes.
Li Yan's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and the first thought that flashed through her mind was that they had encountered robbers?
Li Jianmin spread his arms like he was protecting a chick and asked fearfully, "What...what do you want to do?"
Li Jianmin's trembling voice was particularly conspicuous on the silent mountain road. The masked men in black clothes did not speak, but their eyes revealed a sense of indifference and murderous intent.
Li Yan forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart. She quickly analyzed her current situation. There was no one around and the four of them were just half-grown children who were powerless. There was no way they could fight them head-on or escape from these people!
These people intercepted him either for money or revenge. If they were looking for money, it would be easy to deal with. Now they didn't have any money on them, so he had time to deal with this group of people.
Are they seeking revenge? Li Yan couldn't help but frown. It didn't seem like that. If they were seeking revenge, they would just kill them directly. Why stop them?
Is he jealous of the formula he holds in his hands?
In just a few breaths, Li Yan reviewed all the possible scenarios in her mind. She said with forced composure, "My dear friends, please feel free to ask for anything you want. I will do my best to fulfill my request!"
This time, the men in black did not remain silent. The leader, Amur, spoke in broken Chinese: "Little girl, you are quite sensible. Come with us!"
When Li Yan heard their voices, she felt a chill in her heart. These people were not Han Chinese. What was their intention in kidnapping her?
When Li Jianmin heard this, he immediately lost his composure and said, "Don't even think about taking my sister away. My sister is the county lady. Woo woo woo..."
Li Jianmin's unfinished words were covered by Li Yan.
Li Yan saw murderous intent in those people's eyes. If her cousin continued talking, those people would definitely kill her in the next moment.
The reason why they didn't take action seemed to be that they were worried about something!
Li Yan didn't care about that. After her brain worked rapidly, she said loudly: "Okay, I can go with you obediently, but the prerequisite is that you make them leave!"
Li Jianmin pulled away Li Yan's hands that were covering his body and shouted, "Sister!"
Daya and Xiu'er grabbed Li Yan's sleeves tightly, their eyes filled with tears!
Li Yan held her cousin's hand tightly and wrote the word "aid" on the back of his hand without leaving any trace!
Now is not the time to act on impulse. The other party's target is now herself, and they are at a complete disadvantage. For now, Li Yan can only use herself as a bargaining chip to negotiate with them.
Amur sneered: "Even if I kill them, I can still take you away!"
"If you kill them, I will die in front of you! You can try it."
Li Yan looked back at him imposingly, her tone was serious and her expression was solemn, she didn't look like she was joking at all!
