As An Lushan's advisor, Yan Zhuang knew the situation in Ying Province like the back of his hand. Naturally, the situation in the depths of White Wolf Mountain could not escape his eyes. ﹏ ba _
.
In his opinion, only the bandits in the depths of White Wolf Mountain who specialized in robbing the rich were likely to oppose An Lushan. Moreover, their numbers matched.
"The bandits of White Wolf Mountain."
An Lushan revealed a murderous look between his brows and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Commander in chief, these bandits must be exterminated. Firstly, we can solve the problem in your heart. Secondly, we can shift the blame for what happened in White Wolf Village to them. This is killing two birds with one stone."
Yan Zhuang's eyes flashed with a hint of craftiness.
An Lushan rubbed his fat belly and nodded. "Shi Qinggan, return to the main camp immediately and assemble three thousand soldiers. Tomorrow morning, we will enter the mountain to exterminate the bandits."
"Don't worry, Commander in chief. This time, I will exterminate all the bandits in White Wolf Mountain."
Shi Qinggan's cheeks trembled, making him look even uglier.
Then, An Lushan ordered all the soldiers under his command to enter a state of combat readiness, ready to launch a crusade against Nu Jie's tribe at any time.
In the direction of White Wolf Village, the injured woman in black lay in the main room of Ang Lee's ancestral home. Although White Wolf Village had been reduced to ruins by the fire, Ang Lee's ancestral home was still in good condition. At least, after many days of tidying up, it was fully habitable.
Another woman in black accompanied her and looked out of the window from time to time. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent and coldness.
In the courtyard outside the main room, Zhang Erniu and his brothers were anxiously pacing back and forth. They had been ordered to retreat and had safely arrived at White Wolf Village. However, what happened to Ang Lee and the other three? Had they shaken off their pursuers?
"No, it's been so long. I have to go back and meet up with Chief and the others."
Zhang Erniu could not hold it in any longer. He lifted his leg and walked out.
"Erniu, we're back."
Just as Erniu took a step forward, Ang Lee and the other three walked in, their faces filled with the joy of victory.
"Master, Dalang, you're finally back. That's great!"
"Alright, Erniu, where are the two ladies?"
"Stockade Master, they are all in the house. One of them is injured and has already fallen asleep. The other is watching from the side, not allowing us to get close. Ok?
.`”
Lifei Shouyu waved his hand lightly. "Erniu, you and your brothers will go to the front yard. Also, send some of our brothers to Liucheng County and Heping Lu's camp to scout the situation."
"Yes, Master."
Zhang Erniu responded and led his brothers out of the backyard.
Ang Lee and Li Feishou Yu looked at each other and walked toward the main room.
"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate An Lushan?"
The woman in black walked to the door and blocked Ang Lee and Li Feishou Yu.
Such a pretty girl.
Li An was slightly stunned. No matter if it was her figure or face, the black clothed woman before him was impeccable. She had fair cheeks that were tinged with a rosy glow, a high nose bridge, and a pair of
However, the beautiful eyes of the woman in black were filled with arrogance and coldness. It was as if she didn't put anyone in her eyes. She was a typical cold beauty. She was ice-cold and had an arrogance that made it difficult for others to approach her.
"Wife, this one is Ang Lee. This house is my home. The one beside me is my good friend, Li Feishou Yu."
When Ang Lee called her wife, he felt happy, as if he had taken advantage of her. However, in the Tang dynasty, young women were called wives. If it was a little girl, they would be called little wives. Ang Lee wasn't wrong.
"You're Li Feishou Yu."
The woman in black completely ignored Ang Lee and stared at Li Feishou Yu.
Ang Lee suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart. He saw Li Feishou Yu nod his head.
"Alright, you can go in." The woman in black glanced at Li Feishou Yu and then looked at Ang Lee. "You, come with me."
Her cold commanding tone without any emotion made Ang Lee's heart feel cold. This is my home, okay? Since when is it your turn to call the shots?
However, a good man doesn't fight with a woman. Bickering with a girl is very unmanly. Ang Lee lightly shook his head and followed the woman to the west courtyard.
"Wife, your companion is already asleep. Aren't you afraid?"
Ang Lee was very curious. This woman in black had been guarding the door, not allowing Erniu and the others to enter the house. Why was she so confident in Li Feishou Yu? Could it be that Li Feishou Yu's face was upright? I will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future. Speak, why do you want to assassinate An Lushan? "
The woman in black ignored Ang Lee's question and directly asked.
Her tone was cold and direct, causing Ang Lee's heart to be covered in a layer of ice again.
Alright, you're a woman, I won't bicker with you.
Ang Lee lightly shook his head and truthfully said, "An Lushan is the enemy who killed my father. His subordinates massacred the entire White Wolf Village. These reasons are enough, right?"
Hearing this, the woman in black nodded her head.
"Wife, I've told you my name. I've also told you why I want to assassinate An Lushan. May I ask for your name?"
In his previous life, Ang Lee was hesitant. In this life, he wanted to be a person who dared to speak his mind.
"My name is Li Hanlu, a member of the Xi Clan. An Lushan has been on expeditions to the north for many years and killed many of my clansmen. I want to kill him to avenge my clansmen."
Her answer was simple and direct, but her tone was still cold.
Li Hanlu, this name is cold enough. No wonder she's like this. It seems that the name given by parents is very important.
"Heh, Han Lu, what a poetic name. Then I'll call you Han Lu Lil 'Miss."
Li Hanlu narrowed her eyes and glared at Ang Lee. Her eyes were filled with the words' you're very boring '.
Ang Lee didn't understand why the beautiful Li Hanlu was so cold and distant. Perhaps it had something to do with her experience.
"Han Lu Lil 'Miss, your Xi Clan has been plundering the south for many years, robbing the wealth and people of my Tang dynasty. Don't you feel guilty?"
Li Hanlu's brows furrowed in anger. "As long as the cattle and sheep are fat, we won't starve. Our Xi Clan won't go south. When there's no food, what's wrong with going south to steal some?"
The logic of a bandit, the typical logic of a bandit. Poverty was actually the reason for being a bandit, and she even said it so righteously.
"Without enough food, you go south to plunder. Is that what your Xi Clan thinks?"
"Hmph, we can't starve to death, right?"
Li Hanlu's tone was still righteous. In her opinion, when the cattle and sheep were hungry, they had to eat grass. When people were hungry, they had to eat. If there was no food, they naturally had to steal. What was wrong with that? Were they willing to starve to death?
This girl's worldview was too problematic. She was full of the bandit logic unique to the nomads. If she didn't educate her, she would continue to be wrong.
"Han Lu Lil 'Miss, if our Tang people were hungry and went to steal your cattle and sheep, what would you do?"
"Of course, we would kill you."
"But we Tang people have no food. We can't starve to death, right? What's wrong with that?"
"You!"
Li Hanlu choked and couldn't refute. The anger in her eyes grew.
Ang Lee smiled indifferently, feeling rather proud. This cold girl was full of arrogance, but her eloquence and intelligence were indeed not very good. At least, she didn't have the ability to pester endlessly.
"Han Lu Lil 'Miss, as long as your Xi Clan submitted to the Tang dynasty and exchanged your horses for the Tang dynasty's food, you would be able to fill your stomachs. There would be no need for you to go south to plunder. This way, An Lushan wouldn't be able to legitimately go north."
When he said this, even Ang Lee himself felt that it was too idealistic. First, the Xi Clan was connected to the Khitans, Turks, and other ethnic groups. Now, they might not be willing to submit to the Tang dynasty. In addition, with An Lushan's cunning nature, he would not get along well with the Xi Clan. The friction and fighting would never stop.
Li Hanlu raised her head and looked into the distance, thinking about something. Perhaps Ang Lee's words had caused her thoughts to fluctuate.
"The Xi Clan went south to plunder. An Lushan sent troops north."
Ang Lee casually muttered a few words and suddenly thought of something.
"Han Lu Lil 'Miss, your Xi Clan just went south and clashed with the Pinglu army here, right? You must know what happened here, right? Tell me, are the people of White Wolf Village still alive? My family, Ya' er, Gou 'zi, Xiao Kui, and the others, were they taken away by you?"
Ang Lee emotionally held Li Hanlu's hands.
"Let go."
Li Hanlu broke free from Ang Lee and took a step back. She looked at Ang Lee warily.
"You just said that An Lushan's subordinates massacred the entire village. Why are you still asking?"
"Dead, they're all dead." Ang Lee felt dizzy and shouted, "Then where are their corpses? Why don't I see them?"
"They're all roasted and eaten."
"You don't even let go of their corpses."
"They're all dead. What's the use of their corpses?"
Li Hanlu's lips curled into an imperceptible cold smile. She turned and walked towards the gap in the west courtyard.
In the main room of the ancestral residence, the injured black-clothed woman was still sleeping. Beside her, a pair of gentle eyes were looking at her tenderly. Rather than looking, it was more like admiring.
Li Fei Shouyu never imagined that Mi Niang, who had suddenly left without saying goodbye, would appear in front of him again. He really wanted to touch Mi Niang's white face, but he was worried that he would disturb her rest. For this reason, he kept admiring her, only occasionally playing with her loose hair.
"Shouyu."
Ang Lee, who had walked into the main room, could not believe his eyes.
"Shh."
Li Fei Shouyu made a silent expression. He got up and followed Ang Lee out of the main room.
"Shouyu, this Lil 'Miss is the one you saved back then."
Li Fei Shouyu nodded. He smiled: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be able to see her again. Are you alright? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Ang Lee sighed softly: "Shouyu, you might not know, but these two Lil 'Misses are from the Xi Clan. The one just now was called Li Hanlu. She said that the villagers were all killed and their corpses were roasted and eaten by them."
"Roasted and eaten? Is that a joke?"
"Shouyu, that woman's face was as cold as ice. She doesn't look like someone who would joke."
Ang Lee's face was bitter.
"Are you alright? Maybe she said it out of anger. When Mi Niang wakes up, I'll ask her."
Ang Lee nodded: "Alright."
