Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

After a fierce fight, Bai Jin and Shen Li barely escaped danger. Bai Jin thought to himself: I wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, but I didn't expect that my second brother sent only elite troops this time.

Two of Bai Jin's men were killed and several were injured, but Bai Jin's personal servant Liu An was missing. It seemed that it was he who reported the news and led people here!

After catching his breath, Bai Jin's eyes flashed with a cold sternness. He knew that although he had temporarily avoided the assassination attempt, it also meant that the conspiracy behind it was getting deeper and deeper.

Shen Li looked at Bai Jin and asked softly, "Who do you think is behind this?"

Bai Jin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Although I can't be completely sure at the moment, my second brother is the biggest suspect. He has always coveted the position of future head of the family and will do anything to achieve his goal."

Shen Li's heart trembled, and she said, "So how should we deal with this now? Should we continue with the original plan, or should we find a safe place to hide first?"

Bai Jin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The original plan cannot be changed. If we retreat now, it will only make them more arrogant.

However, we must first find a place to regroup, treat the wounded, and then redeploy. We must be absolutely sure of our food supply!"

So, they headed towards a remote valley. Along the way, Bai Jin was thinking about Liu An's betrayal. He thought to himself, "This is good. From now on, I won't have any more thorns around me."

At this time, Liu An was rushing to the residence of Bai Jin's second brother without stopping. He was feeling both panic and a little bit of expectation for a huge reward. He had no idea that he had become the person Bai Jin wanted to kill.

Liu An ran all the way and rushed into the residence of Bai Jin's second brother Bai Yu, broke into the study, and fell to his knees with a "thump". His face was pale and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Bai Yu was originally sipping tea leisurely, but upon seeing this, he frowned and scolded, "How can you be so flustered? How disgraceful!"

Liu An trembled and said, "Second Young Master, I have an urgent matter to report. Young Master Bai Jin and Miss Shen Li did not leave tonight. They rested near the dense forest.

I seized the opportunity to inform your people and then hurried over to tell you the news. This is a perfect opportunity!"

A fierce look flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. He put down his teacup, slowly stood up and paced back and forth, "Humph! This time I've sent out the most elite assassins in the mansion. Even Bai Jin won't be able to escape even if he has wings."

If this succeeds, I will reward you handsomely and will not treat you unfairly. Could you please tell me in detail what happened to them at that time?

Liu An quickly replied, "I noticed that the guards around them were alert, but they didn't seem to expect such a large-scale assassination.

As soon as our people appeared, they were caught off guard. However, Bai Jin and Shen Li were also quite capable. They fought and retreated, heading out of the dense forest.

I was afraid of being discovered, so I hurried to tell you the news. Second Young Master, what should we do next? "

Bai Yu sneered, "It doesn't matter. They can escape for a while, but not forever. You go down and have a good rest first. I will arrange the follow-up matters later."

Liu An was as if pardoned. He kowtowed repeatedly and left the study. Bai Yu sat back in his chair, his eyes full of sinisterness and calculation, thinking about his next plan.

Outside the dense forest, everyone gathered and took a short rest.

Bai Jin arranged in a deep voice, "Li Tiezhu, take these wounded and the two deceased back to the county government office first. Remember to give the two brothers some extra compensation and properly arrange their funeral arrangements. Don't let their families down."

"The rest of the people will be divided into two teams. One team will follow me, and the other team, led by Chen Sheng, will go to Beijing in secret.

"Yan Feng, after your team enters the capital, do not act rashly. Find a secluded base to hide and closely monitor the movements of all parties in the capital, especially those forces that may be colluding with my second brother. Once you have any information, try to pass it on to me."

Li Tiezhu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely handle this matter well and let you brothers leave in peace."

Yan Feng clasped his fists and accepted the order, "I obey your orders and will fulfill my mission. I will act carefully, conceal my whereabouts, and await your further instructions."
