Good luck every time

Li Ruyi looked around at them and cursed Ding Bai eighteen thousand times in his heart.

However, human thinking is always susceptible to limitations, and it seems that if we are stuck here and have no choice, we will really have no choice.

But in fact, Li Ruyi is not without options to break out of the existing framework.

She spoke lightly, as calmly as before.

"I'm sure that Sect Leader Ding must have heard that a few dozen miles ahead, there are rampant water bandits who control the river."

Li Ruyi's words came out so suddenly that they seemed to be incoherent.

But Ding Bai did not interrupt, but listened quietly. He was also very curious about how Li Ruyi would break the deadlock.

"Water transportation is a major event that benefits both the country and the people. A hundred-foot-long piece of wood cannot be transported by horse and carriage, but it can be transported by boat to any place you want!"

"Quzhou County is located in a key area. Although it is controlled by chivalrous men, there are still many caravans coming and going."

"The advantage of this place is transportation!"

Others didn't understand what Li Ruyi said, but Ding Bai instantly remembered what Li Ruyi said a few days ago when he was communicating with him. The other party said, "Jiuchuan Lane is not a wasteland, it has its own advantages! Ruyi just discovered its advantages and magnified them."!

Li Ruyi did not end her words there. Now that she had said it, she had to say it thoroughly and clearly.

"Master Ding, how much money does the escort agency make? If we can control the water transportation fortress, we will have the divine skill of turning stone into gold!"

Ding Bai is not stupid. The benefits of water transportation have been around for a long time, so he naturally had this idea in mind.

only……

"Miss Ruyi, you know the difference between sea bandits and mountain bandits, right?"

Since Li Ruyi had opened the door, she was naturally certain that she could use this information to exchange for an opportunity to make a choice.

"The bandits are good at fighting on the water, so they can't be surrounded and suppressed by ordinary methods. But how can Sect Leader Ding be an ordinary person? You have unparalleled martial arts skills, great righteousness, and powerful connections, so why are you afraid of these bandits?"

Ding Bai didn't fall for her trick.

"If only these Ruyi girls said it or not, it would make no difference!"

Li Ruyi took a half step forward, covered her face with her hands, and whispered something in Ding Bai's ear.

Xiaoman raised her eyebrows.

Ding Bai looked at Li Ruyi and couldn't help but sigh.

"You are such an interesting girl!"

Li Ruyi took a deep breath, and the word "girl" expressed all the thoughts in Ding Bai's mind!

No matter how well Li Ruyi did, Ding Bai always had the ambition to take her into his room.

He failed to achieve it, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't do it now.

He had not yet found Li Ruyi's weak spot, and he knew that such a woman was not someone he could easily control.

Li Ruyi is a smart man who dares to think and act. If he rashly keeps someone by his side without being convinced, he will be leaving himself a hidden danger.

To some extent, Ding Bai and Li Ruyi are the same kind of people. They can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. It's just that Li Ruyi's bottom line is slightly higher than Ding Bai's, but her brain is also much more active than Ding Bai's.

Ding Bai wanted to usurp power so he killed his master and senior brothers, but if it was Li Ruyi, if she wanted to usurp power, she would naturally have other softer means.

They achieved the same goal in the same amount of time, but ended up with different reputations. This is the biggest difference between the two.

Of course, this is not because Li Ruyi is smart, but because she is a woman, born in adversity, so she is used to considering many things.

Ding Bai killed his father and brother, and others thought he was cruel and ruthless, and he betrayed his teacher and ancestors!

But if Li Ruyi did the same thing, it would be against the will of heaven and he should be executed.

So when faced with Li Zhuzi who wanted to sell her out, Li Ruyi could not kill him and could only get rid of him quietly!

Faced with Li Laoliu who wanted to harm her and her siblings, Li Ruyi had no choice but to secretly pull him down from the position of clan leader.

Faced with the thug boss who was full of malice towards her, Li Ruyi not only did not hate them but also cooperated with him many times.

It's not that she is so kind, it's just that current events make people behave in a way that is in the best interest of her.

But Ding Bai doesn't need to do this.

"Thanks for the praise, Master Ding!"

Li Ruyi silently retreated back to his original position.

Ding Bai glanced at him and turned to Manor Master He and said.

"Old Master, you should thank Miss Ruyi for giving your child a happy death!"

The phrase "old owner" not only means that the owner of the villa is old, but also means that Tiejian Villa will definitely change hands today.

After saying that, he looked at Li Ruyi again.

"Miss Ruyi, have you made any progress in expanding the caravan? If you want to find a courtyard here as a base, I have some suitable courtyards that I can give to Miss Ruyi!"

Li Ruyi would have to be crazy to consider the caravan at this time.

She had no doubt that if she asked her elder sister to bring people here to establish a base today.

Tomorrow the eldest sister will become a means of blackmailing her. Judging from Ding Bai's lustful nature, there is an 80% chance that the two sisters will be captured by this man and taken home.

Ding Bai can't catch her and Xiaoman at the moment, so the two of them are safest in this ambiguous state.

"No need to trouble Sect Leader Ding. Ruyi's matters are minor matters. There is no need to rush."

"Besides, Ruyi is a woman after all. She feels a little uncomfortable after seeing such scenes so many times. She wants to leave and go back to her room to rest!"

After hearing this, Ding Bai did not reject her suggestion, but gently explained to the people around him.

"Why don't you send Miss Ruyi back to her room?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Shan and Huang Wenfeng.

"Please send these two back to your rooms!"

Ding Bai's intention was to separate Li Ruyi and the other three.

He also seemed to want to restrict Li Ruyi's actions in this way.

Li Ruyi did not refuse, and now was not a good time to refuse.

It's good enough to be able to leave, why does it matter how many people leave?

To quote Ding Bai's words, if Li Shan and Huang Wenfeng were useless, the four of them would have encountered many twists and turns on this trip, and it would be better not to bring them along.

They were taken back to their rooms in pairs.

Listening to the noise outside the door, Xiaoman lowered her voice and asked Li Ruyi.

"Is he going to put us under house arrest?"

Li Ruyi glanced at her and mouthed to Xiaoman to leave as soon as possible.

Xiaoman immediately understood what she meant.

She quietly walked to the back window, listened to the noise outside, and quickly determined the target number of people outside.

Xiaoman shot out a few silver needles through the window paper.

There were a few muffled groans coming from outside, and several people fell to the ground one after another.

Xiaoman gently pushed open the window, and she and Li Ruyi jumped out of the window.

The two of them have already walked through Tiejian Villa today and have some understanding of the local terrain.

They did not choose to go down the mountain, but went up the mountain.

Arriving at the place where he had agreed to meet Li Shan and Huang Wenfeng, Li Ruyi did not leave immediately, but waited here for a while.

It was completely dark, and the people in Tiejian Villa had not yet noticed that she and Xiaoman had run away.

"Second sister, how long do we have to wait to go?"

Li Ruyi looked at the sky and said, "Forget it."

"Wait a quarter of an hour!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a noise nearby and Xiaoman turned around to look.

An ordinary stone suddenly moved, a secret passage opened, and several people walked out.

"Xiao Lian, you have to be obedient!"

He Xiaolian still wanted to go back, she lowered her voice and questioned her brother.

"Brother, are we really not going to save Grandpa?"

After saying this she sounded a little sad.

"And Dingxin, he is your son...your only son!"

He Jingping is much calmer than He Xiaolian.

"Xiao Lian, I promised my mother that I would protect you, but you must not be willful!"

How many sons does He Jingping want to have while he is still alive?

But if the inheritance of Tiejian Villa is lost, it will be truly lost.

He Xiaolian burst into tears.

During the day, she is still the willful eldest daughter of the He family, but at night she becomes the remnant of Tiejian Villa.

Xiaoman pulled Li Ruyi to leave, but Li Ruyi grabbed her hand.

In just a short while, the whereabouts of the two people were discovered.

"There are people over there, young master and young lady!"

Everyone in the He family was startled, and someone asked in a low voice.

"Who is there!"

While they were talking, their hands were already on their weapons.

Li Ruyi did not hide her identity at this time.

"I am Li Ruyi, who was imprisoned here by Ding Bai and I am trying to escape!"

They didn't know what had happened in the front yard, and after hearing what Li Ruyi said, they didn't let their guard down.

"This is our Iron Sword Villa's territory. If Ding Bai wanted to put you under house arrest, why would he put you under house arrest here?"

Li Ruyi did not panic when she heard He Jingping's question.

"Mr. He and Miss He, you and I are not enemies! Your sister and I are waiting here not to see you two, and we don't know there is a secret passage here. It's just that my companions haven't escaped yet, so we are just waiting here!"

Xiaoman didn't quite understand why Li Ruyi didn't hide if she didn't want to go with them?

But there were so many things she didn't understand along the way, and she didn't dare to ask.

After hearing this, the people of the He family relaxed their vigilance a little, and both sides maintained a fixed distance between each other, as if they were afraid of being contaminated and implicated by the other party.

"In that case, Miss Li, please continue to wait, and we will leave first!"

Li Ruyi stepped back to make room for them, and only reminded them when they were about to leave.

"Everyone, Ding Bai is a ruthless man who never fights a battle without preparation. He has been planning for Tiejian Villa for a long time. If you don't have a plan, it will be difficult for you to leave!"

After hearing what Li Ruyi said, He Jingping turned around to look at him, but it was dark and he couldn't see Li Ruyi's expression or appearance.

"What do you mean, Miss Li?"

"I said this because I know Ding Bai's character and his current deployment. If you believe me, then head towards the pirates' territory. If you don't believe me, then do as you please!"

The people who escorted He Jingping and He Xiaolian away looked at each other.

After Li Ruyi gave them a reminder, he stopped talking and stretched out his hand to invite them to leave.

He Jingping frowned slightly, feeling a little confused and suspicious about Li Ruyi's purpose.

“How should we believe you?”

Li Ruyi didn't say anything. At this moment, there was a noise not far away. Xiaoman turned around and said in a low voice.

"Second sister, Li Shan and the others are here!"

Li Ruyi no longer had any entanglement with the He family.

"Ding Bai is a man with great ambitions. If he takes down Tiejian Villa, he will definitely attack the pirates next. If you want to find shelter, that's the best place to go. It's close and our goal is the same!"

"We are not originally from here, so it is easy for us to escape. Let's say goodbye now and see each other again in the future!"

Li Shan and Huang Wenfeng had already arrived. They both had serious expressions on their faces, but when they saw Li Ruyi here, they lit up with joy and said.

"Miss Ruyi, we've alarmed the guards. They're coming after us!"

Li Ruyi looked calm and was not surprised.

"Then let's go!"

After saying that, she looked in the direction of He Xiaolian again.

"That child of yours is probably in danger! Ding Bai is very interested in your family's secret sword-making technique. That child must be used as a handle to threaten your grandfather. He won't die in the short term, but he will live a very painful life!"

"I think your grandfather has a plan and will not sit still and wait for death!"

After saying this, she comforted He Xiaolian again.

"Sometimes it is a blessing to be able to ask for a quick death!"

He Xiaolian did not hear the hidden meaning in Li Ruyi's words. She just felt even more sad and thought of the appearance of the child at home.

He Jingping did not save his son, but instead saved his sister. If Li Ruyi said there was no trick here, she would not believe it at all.

At this moment, He Xiaolian is more important than family inheritance and bloodline, which shows that she is still useful.

Li Ruyi did not doubt He Jingping's brotherly love for He Xiaolian.

In a family, the man is named Jingping but the woman is only called Xiaolian, which shows the difference in status.

The promise to his mother to take care of his sister is all bullshit. Anyone who takes it seriously will be fooled.

The two sides soon parted ways.

Li Ruyi and her group of four jumped out from the outer wall and went straight into the mountain.

Xiaoman asked this after leaving Tiejian Villa.

"Second sister, why did you say those words to them?"

Li Ruyi thought about it and explained to Xiaoman.

"Iron Sword Villa has always had connections with the pirates, and He Jingping was originally planning to join the pirates!"

Xiaoman looked at Li Ruyi in surprise.

"how do you know?"

Li Ruyi thought of today's observations.

"Some of the ores in Tiejian Villa are piled outside. If they are transported by land, the cost will be very high. Why do they not take it seriously?"

"The only ones who can use water transport nowadays are pirates. They must have connections with pirates to be able to do so!"

"After Ding Bai destroyed Tiejian Villa, his next target must be the water bandits. The He family can take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the water bandits and use the He family's hidden connections and resources to help the water bandits. The water bandits can also contribute manpower and manpower to avenge the He family and help them take back Tiejian Villa as soon as possible!"

Xiaoman shook her head.

“These people…”

As for whether the pirates are willing to cooperate with the He family, of course they are willing.

Tiejian Villa has suffered heavy damage and its strength is not as strong as before. The bandits will definitely be able to take the initiative by cooperating with it, which will bring more benefits than before.

Even if Ding Bai was not there, they would still be willing.

What's more, now that they have a common enemy, cooperation between the two sides is imperative.

At this time, a bond connecting the two parties is created.

He Jingping will definitely hand He Xiaolian over to the hands of the pirates.

Who says that people in the underworld don’t understand marriage alliances?
