When everyone heard this, their whole bodies suddenly became cold.
The hot mood was like being doused by a basin of cold water, everyone's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
They were so excited just now, thinking that this operation was a sure thing, but little did they know that they might have already stepped into a trap carefully laid by others.
"Then... then we retreat immediately!"
A direct descendant of the Li family said with a panicked expression.
"Retreat?"
Li Canghai sneered, "It's easy to get in but hard to get out. Now we are all deep in the hinterland of Black Wind Ridge. We can set up ambushes in the surrounding mountains and forests. Our whereabouts must have been exposed at this moment. If we retreat hastily, we will only be chased by others, and the defeat will be faster."
Entering is a dead end, retreating is a pursuit.
In just a short moment, the Li family fell into a dilemma.
The faces of the three An Jin peak guest guests from Fucheng were completely solemn, their original aloofness was restrained, and they finally realized the danger of the situation.
They originally thought this was a guaranteed profitable trip, but they didn't expect it to be a near-death disaster.
Suddenly, everyone was in a state of trembling.
The wind in the forest was rustling, the branches and leaves were swaying, and there were many shadows. It seemed that every shadow contained a murderous intention.
The elite members of the Li family were filled with excitement and nervousness. All their eyes fell on Li Canghai, waiting for the head of the family to make a decision.
At the critical moment, only Li Canghai remained calm and composed.
"What are you panicking about?"
He spoke in a deep voice without any trace of panic.
"Do you think that if I send all the elites of the Li family into the mountain late at night, I will just take advantage of Lin Zhengtang's words and rush in?"
Li Canghai glanced at everyone in front of him, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"From the moment I made the plan, I knew that this trip would be dangerous and everything would turn against me. Sometimes, the more seemingly easy an opportunity is, the more deadly traps it hides."
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
Could it be that the owner of the house had taken precautions?
"Dad, did you already guess that the news might be false?"
Li Yunteng suppressed the fear in his heart and asked in a low voice.
"I'm just used to thinking the worst about everything. Only after I came here did I really confirm this."
Seeing everyone's confusion, Li Canghai asked, "If you were Lin Dingyuan, what would you do?"
A guest from the Li family thought thoughtfully, and then tentatively replied, "If I were him, during this sensitive period, even if the mine veins are not heavily guarded, they should never be as sparsely guarded as they are now, as if they were deliberately done."
"Yes, even you can think of it, but Lin Dingyuan can't think of it? What does this mean? It means that Lin Dingyuan may have been eager for us to rush in."
When everyone heard this, their faces became even more ugly.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Yunteng's forehead. "Dad, what should we do now..."
Li Canghai did not answer in a hurry, but began to wait quietly.
Just when everyone was confused and didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd,
suddenly,
A series of footsteps suddenly sounded from the shadows deep in the jungle.
Everyone suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all took defensive postures, staring at the direction where the sound came from.
A few breaths later, a tall, middle-aged man with a sinister expression suddenly walked out of the shadows in the forest.
Behind him were a dozen men dressed in black. They all had strong auras and steady steps. They were obviously good players.
When the man's appearance was completely seen, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the Li family.
"Tu Lie!"
"Tu Lie, the leader of Black Wind Village, why is he here?"
After hearing this, the expressions of Li Yunteng and other direct descendants of the Li family changed, and they subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.
Tu Lie didn't even look at them, his gaze went straight across the crowd and landed on Li Canghai.
Different from everyone's defensive look, Li Canghai seemed to have expected it. He said calmly, "How did things go?"
Tu Lie chuckled, "Since I dare to appear here openly, it means that I have no worries about this trip."
"What did he say?" Li Canghai asked.
"He told us to rest assured that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind, so as not to scare the snake."
Li Canghai nodded slightly, the worry in his eyes disappeared.
Tu Lie was a little confused. "You seem to have guessed that he would agree to cooperate with us?"
Li Canghai raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but sneer, "Unless that kid dies, he won't be able to live in peace in his dreams. Of course he will agree."
A cold light flashed in Tu Lie's eyes. "Is that boy really going to come this time?"
"If my prediction is correct, judging from Lin Lineage's actions this time, that kid will definitely not sit idly by. And even if the kid doesn't come, the conditions we offer are enough for him to take action for us."
Tu Lie grinned. "That's good. I didn't kill that kid last time. I'll see where he can run this time."
Li Yunteng was confused when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Li Canghai: "Dad, what are you..."
Hearing this, Li Canghai glanced at everyone and explained calmly, "You don't need to be too nervous. Black Wind Village has secretly reached a cooperation with my Li family, and Tu Lie is not an outsider."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Li family looked at each other.
Li Yunteng's eyes widened even more, his face full of disbelief.
"Dad, what did you say? The leader of Black Wind Village... is one of ours?"
Li Canghai nodded. "That's right!"
Li Yunteng opened his mouth and didn't close it for a long time.
The direct descendants of the Li family behind him also looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Heifeng Village has been entrenched in Qingshan County for many years. It has robbed homes and homes, cut off roads and looted goods, and has a notorious reputation. It has never had any contact with Li Jiaming, and there have even been some minor frictions.
Who would have thought that the murderous leader of Heifeng Village could actually be one of his own?
Such a sudden increase in foreign aid,
Everyone in the Li family, who was originally panic-stricken, suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
"The master of our house, the city, is far inferior to my generation."
A guest guest sighed in a low voice, his words full of awe.
Everyone else nodded secretly.
Li Canghai waved his sleeves and directly interrupted everyone's thoughts, "Okay, since everyone is here, let's all go in."
After hearing this, everyone quickly put away their hesitation and followed Li Canghai towards the mining area.
The group no longer covered their tracks, and twenty-four elite members of the Li family plus twelve men from the Black Wind Village, thirty-six An Jin level masters, marched toward the dark hinterland of the mining area.
In an ambush circle deep in the dense forest.
Jiang Fa stood quietly under the shadow of the towering ancient trees, his breath converged to the extreme, and his whole person almost blended into the night.
He looked at the figures approaching the mining area not far away, frowned and said, "Something's wrong."
Lin Feng on the side looked sideways. "What's wrong?"
"They're so blatant."
Jiang Fa lowered his voice. "Looking at them, they don't look like they are here to attack in the dark of night, but more like... they are confident!"
Lin Feng was startled and doubtful, his gaze penetrated the branches and leaves and landed on the Li family's team not far away.
Until he saw a figure in the crowd, he was suddenly shocked. "Tu Lie? People from Black Wind Village are actually here too?"
