Chapter 400
In the evening, the thin sunset shines on the surrounding fields, and the dim light of the sky stretches the shadows of everything.

Jincheng.

stronghold.

After Bai Xiuying rested for the night, she set out with Ah Liu on the journey to find Liu Yao.

With Ah Liu's protection, Bai Mingwei was also reassured about her safety, so he didn't stop her much when she left, but just repeatedly told her to pay attention to her safety.

During this period, Bai Mingwei and the others found a new safe base, which provided an additional escape route, and Zhang Jin kept reporting Xue Huaizu's communications with the outside world to Bai Mingwei.

Bai Mingwei carefully monitored the communication between them, and finally learned on this day that they were about to deliver the goods two days later.

But until now, they still don't know the location of the secret warehouse, and they are even less sure about their transportation method, which shows how vigilant they are.

After Bai Mingwei learned the news, he asked Zhang Jin: "What's the situation with Mr. Jiang? How is the carriage ready?"

Zhang Jin replied respectfully: "Master Jiang has prepared convoys in many nearby towns. The convoys will be ready to move as soon as Miss Bai gives the order."

Bai Mingwei asked: "The goal of a thousand carriages is really big, has anyone noticed it?"

Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Miss Bai, I can assure you that Mr. Jiang is doing things safely and no one will doubt him."

Bai Ming nodded slightly and then ordered: "We don't know where the secret warehouse is yet. We probably won't be able to determine the location until they take action."

"So next, it may be difficult for us to use the time difference to transport the contents first. The worst-case scenario is that we need to grab it directly, which means there is a tough battle to fight."

"Tell the brothers to enter a state of war at any time. We must be fully prepared to face what is about to happen with a full attitude."

Zhang Jin responded one by one, and then he told Bai Mingwei: "Miss Bai, Jiang Shan is dead."

Bai Mingwei's eyes suddenly condensed: "What? Dead?"

Zhang Jin nodded: "Under our inducement, Xue Huaizu really thought that the robbery of the Xue family was related to Jiang Shan."

"Because your appearance at the Jincheng Granary confirmed his suspicion that someone was going there for the grain. Therefore, he also suspected that Jiang Shan was interested in his goods. In addition, his beloved grandson was dead, so he found Jiang Shan. Behind the mountain, he immediately dealt a cruel blow to Jiang Shan."

Bai Ming took a deep breath: "Jiang Shan is Li Xianzhao's man, but we can't rule out that Jiang Shan is the person assigned to Li Xianzhao by the black hands behind the scenes. Now that Jiang Shan is dead, the black hands behind the scenes are likely to target Jincheng."

"Now Xue Huaizu has been fooled by us. In his opinion, the person who threatened him and the items is dead, so he can't wait to get paid for transporting the items."

"But this matter is also a mystery to the authorities. Once the people behind the scenes focus on Jincheng, they will soon find out that Jiang Shan is just a scapegoat."

Zhang Jin explained: "Our people wanted to stop him at that time, but Xue Huaizu was so angry that he killed Jiang Shan directly without anyone responding."

Bai Mingwei gave him a reassuring look: "It doesn't matter. If you had gone out to stop him at that time, your whereabouts would probably have been exposed, so you did the right thing."

Zhang Jin asked worriedly: "Miss Bai, is Jiang Shan's death a very serious matter?"

Bai Mingwei tapped his fingers on the table: "Even if Jiang Shan is just a small person, he does not rule out the possibility that the Thousand Miles Embankment will be destroyed by an ant nest."

"But misfortunes come with blessings. Although Jiang Shan's death will expose us, on the other hand, people other than Xue Huaizu will probably suspect that those items are being targeted because of Jiang Shan's death. .”

"In this case, the matter is not as simple as Xue Huaizu's unilateral desire to transport things as quickly as possible to get paid."

"In order to ensure the safety of that batch of things, Lieutenant Jiao will definitely hit it off with Xue Huaizu and transport this hot potato out as soon as possible to avoid any accidents that can't be afforded." "So Jiang Shan's death has the advantage of helping them Transport the food as soon as possible, but they will inevitably increase their vigilance, and our difficulty will increase again."

Zhang Jin agreed very much: "What you said makes sense. Xue Huaizu's purpose is to get paid to meet his urgent needs, while Jiao Xiaowei's purpose is to ensure the safety of those things."

"The two of them can really reach a consensus. Without Xue Huaizu's urging, Captain Jiao has to get things done quickly. As long as they act, we will have a chance."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's right."

While the two were talking, Zhou Yi helped his injured companion and broke in through the door: "Miss Bai, it's not good!"

The injured man's name was Dong Ren, who was sent by Bai Mingwei to intercept the correspondence between Xue Huaizu and Jiao Xiaowei.

Dong Ren was stabbed several times in the body, and his thick clothes were completely soaked with blood. The deep marks on his back were rolled up and bleeding, and the blood on his face was gone, and he looked gray and defeated.

It can be seen that the injury is very serious.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jin hurriedly went to help Dong Ren. Several other people found a medicine box and hurriedly stopped Dong Ren's bleeding.

But Dong Ren pushed away the crowd and spoke with difficulty: "Miss Bai, just when we were about to intercept the letter sent by Captain Jiao to Xue Huaizu, we were suddenly ambushed. The brothers tried their best to cover me and escaped to report the message. Miss Bai, we were discovered. …”

Everyone looked at each other, all on high alert.

Everything was going in a favorable direction. As long as they took action, they would be able to get the seeds with one hit.

But I didn't expect that something like this would happen at the last moment.

They are likely to fail.

Thinking of the hard work they have put in in recent days, everyone sighed with regret and regret.

However, Bai Mingwei was terrifyingly calm. She fetched liquor and disinfected Dong Ren herself, then poured the golden sore medicine on Dong Ren's wound, and used gauze to bandage him urgently to stop the bleeding.

After doing all this, she patted Dong Ren's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. What you need to do now is don't think about anything and live well."

Dong Ren's eyes were scarlet and filled with tears. He was very emotional and said, "Miss Bai, the brothers should be in danger."

Bai Ming nodded slightly, with a hint of determination on his face. That determination had the power to soothe people's hearts. It was like the sea embracing all rivers, embracing everyone's tension and anxiety and then smoothing it over.

She said: "Don't worry. If you live, I will save them and leave. If you die, I will take them away."

Zhang Jin knelt down on one knee and said, "It's all my fault that my subordinates didn't explain clearly, which resulted in the Jiang Shan matter not being handled well. Only then did the enemy notice that something was wrong, and asked Miss Bai to punish him."

Bai Mingwei said: "Okay, don't blame yourself. Jiang Shan just died. They won't react so quickly. It's not your problem."

Zhang Jin frowned: "We have always been cautious about intercepting information. How did they discover our people?"

Bai Mingwei analyzed: "Think about it, Qiang City's seeds and military rations have been lost for so many years, why have they not been discovered? It shows that they are not only careful in doing things, but also have people with quick brains to come up with ideas."

"The Xue family's matter has caused such a big fuss. It's not surprising that they may have sensed something unusual from this incident and have increased their vigilance."

Zhang Jin asked: "Miss Bai, what should we do now?"
