"Master, I just gathered all the cooks and asked, and they're indeed out of salt. If you really have a few hundred stones of salt stored, then we don't have to worry. We can even use your trick against you. We can pretend that everyone has a salt deficiency syndrome, lure the tyrant's men up the mountain, and then kill them by surprise."
Yunniang continued to suggest, "If we really have a salt deprivation syndrome, we can escape by attacking the north now. Although the Ye and Lin families are guarding the north, they only have 4,000 men. It would be difficult for the tyrant's troops to reach the north in a short time."
Xiang Tiange had already thought about what Yunniang said: "But do you know that the Xue family army has rebelled and is on the way?" Hearing this, Xiang Tiange was also wary of Yunniang and did not tell her whether he had hidden the salt.
Yunniang said more seriously, "Then we only have one way out, get down the mountain immediately!!"
Some urged him to leave the mountain, others to hold on. Xiang Tiange was particularly reluctant to abandon the natural barrier of Wuya Peak. If they left, these bandits, so unacceptable to the world, would become homeless dogs.
No matter who they turn to, the result will not be good!
Therefore, Xiang Tiange wanted to know who destroyed the salt. He was not stupid. On weekdays, the only people who could come into contact with salt were the cooks. And these cooks listened to your Yunniang.
Xiang Tiange was deeply conflicted. He wanted to know the truth, but he was even more afraid of it. He was convinced that Yunniang was the only woman in the world who was truly sincere to him.
Back then, it was Yunniang who risked her life to save him!
"Yunniang, do you think it was those three kids who did this?"
"No. Song Anke is the first to be ruled out. I dare say that these stories he told were not written by him. But no matter who wrote them, he is also an instigator. If the court knew about it, he would definitely die."
"Yes. He tells the story of a rebellion against the imperial court."
Yunniang continued, "Zhang Qianqian is a little clever and knows a bit of martial arts. But she's actually a brainless young lady."
Xiang Tiange: She's not as bad as you say. I actually think she's quite cute. If the situation gets bad, why not get rid of her first?
Yunniang: "As for that little maid, it's not worth mentioning. I suspect it was the cooks who did it."
"Oh?" Xiang Tiange was a little surprised. "Why?"
"First of all, they hate the brothers in the mountains. Secondly, they have access to salt. They have motives and the possibility of committing the crime. But how did they destroy so much salt without being discovered by anyone? Boss, you should know that in our mountains, after dark, no woman dares to go outside the house..." As Yunniang said this, she took Xiang Tiange's hand and made a frivolous gesture.
Xiang Tiange gave him a knowing look: "You mean, unless someone is directing them and helping them from behind?"
"That's one reason!" Yunniang nodded. "Second, we all know how precious salt is. On weekdays, some undisciplined people secretly carry two or three sacks when they go down the mountain... Although there's no shortage of food and clothing in the mountains, it's a bit boring after all. How can it compare to the carefree life on the banks of the Daqin River hundreds of miles away?
In addition, you, the boss, are so busy that you don’t even know how much salt you have left. This gives some people an opportunity to take advantage of you…”
Xiang Tiange's expression suddenly changed: "You go down first!"
Chao Man'er, the three of you should learn from this. Yunniang is a seasoned spy! She didn't rush to distance herself from the matter, but followed Xiang Tiange's line of thought and analyzed the matter.
The cook, including herself, could be suspected.
Those who frequently brought down mountain vegetables were also suspicious. These people had brought medicinal herbs from the mountains and sold them down the mountain. But how could Xiang Tiange know if they were medicinal herbs or salt?
Also, the masked man and his men. Although Yunniang didn't mention him, she had already mentioned that he had the ability to accomplish this.
In short, Xiang Tiange's heart began to become confused. This was Yunniang's purpose! Once the heart is confused, it loses the ability to make decisions!
Xiang Tiange would have someone uncover the truth, but he felt that this was no longer the main point. There was no point pursuing this now. The question was whether to stay or go.
If they stayed, the longer they stayed in the mountains, the more dangerous they would be; if they left, they would not be in danger for the time being, but they would not have the dangerous terrain as a barrier, and the 20,000 to 30,000 well-trained Hu family soldiers could wipe out this motley crowd.
And the Hu family army hates this group of bandits to the core!
In recent years, the troops sent by the imperial court to suppress them were none other than the Hu Family Army stationed hundreds of miles away!
At this moment, someone hurried over to report: "Boss, it's bad! There's poisonous smoke rising from the bottom of the mountain!"
Xiang Tiange's first reaction was: Doesn't Baili Tang really know that they're out of salt? Otherwise, why is he so anxious?
Come to think of it, if the Xue family's 100,000-strong army arrives and joins them in attacking from the front and back, your Baili Tang's troops will not be enough!
Not only Xiang Tiange had this idea, but Ye Hongxue, Lin Jiahao, Zhang Xiaofeng and others also had the same idea!
Tyrant, keep singing: There is a beautiful girl in my hometown! Sing!
Then, Ye Hongxue only left 500 people at the foot of the mountain, and sent the rest of them to the mountain to carry out assassinations! Help Baili Tang and force the bandits down the mountain!
The same is true for several other families!
There is only one goal - both sides will suffer losses!
Unfortunately, this would make Baili Tang’s plan even more perfect!
Then these bandits would be exhausted from running around. The more they sweat, the faster they lose salt from their bodies!
Xiang Tiange, on the contrary, became even more obedient and acted like a coward!
