Niu Lianshan looked at the woman beside him and said coldly, "Lu'e, you are the one serving Master Li tonight. Tell me, what happened? Did anyone enter the room?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Lu Ye's eyes. She must not let the boss know that she had secretly met her lover in the middle of the night, otherwise he would definitely be dead.
He bowed his head and said respectfully, "To answer the question, Master, I have been inside the house the entire time and have never seen anyone come in."
"But... I was a little tired and slept for a long time. I don't know what happened when I was asleep. I'm just a little girl and I don't have much vigilance."
"Even if someone entered the house, they wouldn't know."
When Li Yuanan heard this, his face turned grim. He slapped her hard with his backhand, gritting his teeth and saying, "You liar, bitch! I'll kill you."
When Niu Lianshan saw him like this, he thought he was angry and embarrassed. How dare he be so presumptuous in his mountain stronghold? Did he think he was a vegetarian?
He immediately stopped him and said in a cold voice: "Master Li, this is Niutou Stronghold, not your Tianlang Stronghold. Don't be too presumptuous in my place."
"Miss Lu'e is your servant, but she is not given to you. It is not your turn to attack the people in my village. Why don't you hurry up and get down from here?"
Lu'e wiped her tears and said gratefully, "Lu'e thanks you very much for saving my life, Boss. I will leave now."
After the people left, Niu Lianshan released his hand and said in a deep voice, "Come here, search the stronghold thoroughly for me, find out where that damned thief is, and bring back the treasure for me!"
"As for Mr. Li, until you find the thing, I have no choice but to keep you in the village. For the time being, don't even think about going back."
Li Yuanan was furious: "How dare you, Niu Lianshan, you bastard! Are you trying to put me under house arrest? Your warehouse is guarded in the mountain stronghold, how could it be lost?"
"Don't put the blame on me. If I can't go back tomorrow, then the people from Tianlang Village will definitely come. If we fight then, who will win?"
"Why don't we work together to take down Hutou Mountain first, and then we can solve the problems between us. I'm not interested in your treasures. I'm here to make allies."
"If you think about it, you should know that it's impossible for me, Li Yuanan, to do such a stupid thing as stealing your things."
Niu Lianshan looked at him doubtfully. He felt it was strange, but judging by the evidence before him, there was something wrong with Li Yuanan.
The two men stood face to face in silence. Soon the door was pushed open. The second-in-command opened the door with a complicated look in his eyes: "Brother, we found the things from the warehouse in the ox cart in Tianlang Mountain."
"What? Say it again."
Niu Lianshan stood up suddenly and looked at Li Yuanan with eyes that seemed to want to skin him alive. This damn guy came to him for help, and he was lucky enough that he didn't ask for money.
Before leaving, this bastard actually wanted to steal his treasure house. This is intolerable.
"Second brother, how much of the treasure did you find?"
The second in command hesitated and said, "Less than half. We searched inside and out, but we only found less than half of the treasure house. I don't know where the rest went."
Niu Lianshan stepped closer and said sternly, "Master Li, what else do you have to say? You came to us for help, and I agreed to help you because of the friendship between the two villages."
"What are you doing? Stealing directly from my warehouse? That's a bit too much. Tell me, I want to see if you can come up with something."
Li Yuanan was speechless. How could he know what was going on? It was like seeing a ghost. His face was gloomy: "Boss Niu, whether you believe it or not, I really don't know what's going on in the warehouse."
"I just came here yesterday, how would I know the location of your warehouse? Someone must have framed you. Maybe someone from Hutoushan is instigating you in your village."
"...Haha, do you think I believe this kind of nonsense?"
Niu Lianshan said in a deep voice: "Come here, search all the people from Tianlang Mountain, keep the things that belong to Niutou Mountain, and then send them away from the mountain stronghold as soon as possible."
Li Yuanan's heart trembled, and he said nervously: "Master Niu, then our plan to attack Hutou Mountain Stronghold together will still count."
Seeing that no one said anything, Li Yuanan's heart sank.
An hour later, after sending the people down the mountain, Niu Lianshan looked at the warehouse which was only half full, and he was like a petrified person, unable to move.
Seeing this, the second in command whispered, "Boss, money and possessions are just personal belongings. As long as we can take over other strongholds, we can take these things back at any time."
Niu Lianshan's eyes moved, and he whispered, "Go, find out when Hutou Mountain Stronghold will attack Tianlang Mountain, so we can take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the action."
"Haha, big brother, you're right to think so. Our village has been able to get to where it is today by constantly swallowing up other small villages."
"The Tianlang Stronghold will be ours sooner or later. This time, we can take advantage of the conflict between them and the Hutou Stronghold to intervene."
"The warehouse theft is a good excuse, isn't it?"
Niu Lianshan felt much better after hearing what he said.
"Second brother, you're right. If you think about it this way, the theft of the warehouse is actually a good thing. It gives us a reason to completely wipe out Tianlang Mountain."
The second in command nodded and said, "Yes, big brother. If we want to continue to grow stronger, then swallowing up other strongholds is inevitable. Especially since Tianlang Mountain is very close to us, there is no way we can let it go."
"Rather than leaving hidden dangers in the future, why not seize this opportunity and reap the benefits while Tianlang Mountain and Hutou Mountain are fighting?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, okay, you're still the smartest, second brother."
"Well, we just have to wait patiently."
Jiang Sheng was busy in the village, trying to find out about the situation there, and then secretly gave them some medicine. If the effects continued to accumulate, they would die within a month.
These people cannot be kept, otherwise they will become hidden dangers in the future.
Yang Er walked quickly into the house and lowered his voice, "Sir, I've already found out. A fight is going to break out between Tianlang Mountain and Hutou Mountain Stronghold in the next two days."
"Niutou Village is also making preparations. If everything goes well, we can take care of all three villages this time without much effort."
Jiang Sheng hummed, "By the way, let's help them start a fight early. Then we can sneak in and take the opportunity to finish them off."
Yang Er's voice was filled with laughter. "Yes, Young Master, this is a brilliant move. It creates a rift between the Niutou Stronghold and the Tianlang Stronghold, forcing the Tianlang and Hutou Strongholds to fight to the death."
"After both sides are hurt, the people from Niutou Village will definitely take action. The three parties are exhausting each other. When we take action, everything will be much simpler."
"Well, we must not keep these bandits alive. If we let them grow stronger, they will definitely threaten us in the future. We must fight them. They use the mountains and forests to hide, and they are very difficult to defeat."
"This is naturally the best way."
