131: The real army is not afraid of deception. Who set up the ambush?

“Uh!”

Faced with Ye An’s words, Xu Chuang was also full of embarrassment.

Although it felt unreliable, after thinking it over, Xu Chuang humbly accepted it, realizing he wasn't even as capable as Ye An.

Ye An and Xu Chuang took turns driving the carriage, continuing their journey.

Meanwhile, Ye Mi'er suddenly spoke up.

“Husband who lives with wifes family, I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to go back now!”

“How about we find a place to rest for the night and leave tomorrow?”

Ye An asked, “Why do you say that?”

Ye Mi'er said, “Look, when we first came to Jianglan City, we conveniently destroyed Li Xiaotian’s shop!”

“That made them think the culprit was near Ye Family Pass!”

“But now you’ve had Bai Ran jie rob the caravan again, and the Li Family people will soon know!”

“And the time we left Jianglan City isn’t a secret; the Li Family will definitely find out!”

“You say we left Ye Family Pass, and Li Xiaotian’s shop was robbed!”

“Then we left Jianglan City, and the Li Family caravan was robbed again!”

“Isn’t this a bit too obvious?”

“How about we rest for a night, making it seem like we only set off tomorrow morning? That could also confuse the Li Family!”

Ye An smiled upon hearing this. “This time, there’s no need!”

“Why?” Ye Mi'er asked, puzzled.

Ye An smiled and said, “Because Li Xiaotian isn’t as smart as you!”

“But the people the Li Family sends have more thoughts than you, so this method won’t fool them!”

“This time, as long as we make a move, the Li Family will suspect me no matter what!”

“It’s just that they still won’t have evidence!”

“So we don’t need to waste time; rushing back to Ye Family Pass is the most important thing!”

Ye Mi'er clearly didn’t quite understand.

Xu Chuang, who was beside them, couldn’t help but say, “Boss, is there still some trouble?”

“If it’s about dealing with the Li Family, just say the word, and I’ll be the first to charge!”

Ye An said helplessly, “It’s not as serious as you think; it’s not yet time to destroy the Li Family!”

Saying this, Ye An looked at Ye Mi'er and said, “The reason I said there’s no need to wait a night is because no matter when we return, when the Li Family caravan was robbed, we were all near Jianglan City!”

“This is a fact, and previously, when the Li Family caravan was robbed, we were all near Ye Family Pass!”

“Although the last time, we arranged for people to act after leaving the city, that can only fool an idiot like Li Xiaotian!”

“The other members of the Li Family aren’t so easily fooled; the Li Family has been in the Medicinal Pill business for generations!”

“If they were all idiots like Li Xiaotian, their Li Family would have been destroyed long ago!”

“So this time, they will suspect me no matter what!”

“Therefore, what we need to do is not to create an alibi, but rather to deliberately expose flaws!”

“Why is that?” Ye Mi'er asked, puzzled.

Ye Gu, however, smiled and said, “I told you to read more books, but you never listen; you just spend all day studying Husband who lives with wifes family!”

“It’s right that you don’t understand; this is called never tiring of deceit in warfare!”

“The more flaws we expose, the more these smart people will find it hard to believe!”

“Think about it, even you know that after doing something bad, you should hide; do you think I wouldn’t think of that?”

“Would the Li Family people not think of that?”

“But we still appeared openly; what would they think? We’re not idiots; they will definitely become suspicious themselves!”

Xu Chuang listened from the side, confused, and said, “But Boss, you also said that after this, the Li Family will suspect you no matter what!”

“Then what you’re doing is meaningless; even if the Li Family has no evidence, they will still start targeting you!”

Ye An smiled upon hearing this. “How could it be meaningless?”

“This ploy isn’t meant for the Li Family at all!”

“It’s meant for the Jiang Family!”

“The Jiang Family?” Xu Chuang was clearly confused upon hearing this, and Ye Mi'er on the side also had a splitting headache.

Finally, Liu Bairan couldn’t stand Ye An’s pretentious act and spoke up, “Because your Boss and Husband who lives with wifes family is the Ye Family’s Husband who lives with wifes family, even if the Li Family suspects him, they wouldn’t dare to easily touch him!”

“It will definitely escalate to the Jiang Family, and with his commotion, the Jiang Family won’t even believe he’s the culprit!”

“Do you understand now?”

As Liu Bairan’s voice fell, Ye Mi'er and Xu Chuang suddenly understood.

“That’s right, no matter how much the Li Family suspects you, the fact that the caravan has been repeatedly robbed is undeniable. Besides taking this matter to the Jiang Family, their only other option is to dispatch more personnel themselves!”

“But Ye Family Pass isn’t the Li Family’s main business area, yet they still need to save Face!”

“So they will definitely go to the Jiang Family to seek justice!”

At this point, Xu Chuang couldn’t help but give Ye An a thumbs up!

Ye Mi'er even linked arms with Ye An, rubbing against him as she said, “Husband who lives with wifes family, you’re too smart!”

“I admire you more and more!”

Ye An smiled and said, “This is just the beginning. You watch slowly, and see how I drive Li Xiaotian crazy!”

Just kidding, in his previous life, he had no children, no pressure, and Ye An only cared about lying flat!

He didn't learn anything else, just how to watch palace intrigue dramas!

Decades of experience in palace intrigue dramas were more than enough to deal with a Li Family!

...Meanwhile, as Ye An and the others continued their journey...

At this moment, in a restaurant in Ye Family Pass!

Li Xiaotian and three Golden Core Realm experts were drinking heartily.

“Brother Feng, your plan is simply brilliant, truly killing three birds with one stone!”

“Not only does it lull the opponent into a false sense of security, but we can also take the opportunity to relax, and most importantly, it can help our Li Family regain Face!”

“After the matter is settled, I will definitely tell my father to give you a great merit!”

Li Xiaotian said drunkenly.

The middle-aged man opposite, named Brother Feng, raised his cup and smiled, “Young Master Li, rest assured, don’t you see how many years our brothers have been in this business!”

“These petty tricks of stealing and sneaking, they still want to play with our brothers!”

“Just prepare yourself; as soon as our caravan approaches Ye Family Pass this time, the enemy will definitely fall into the trap!”

“By then, I will personally escort them to you for you to deal with!”

The more Li Xiaotian listened, the more excited he became, as if the people had truly been brought before him at that moment!

Listening, Li Xiaotian actually stood up, pointing to the empty space in front of him and said, “Good!”

“By then, I will make those bastards kneel before me!”

“I want to see who, exactly, has eaten a bear’s heart and leopard’s guts!”

“To dare touch my Li Xiaotian’s goods!”

“Young Master Li is domineering!”

“That’s right, let’s toast Young Master Li!”

Several people echoed, raising their wine cups.

Li Xiaotian was just about to drink when the shopkeeper from outside the private room rushed in.

“Young Master Li, Young Master Li, please wait, I have something…”

The shopkeeper looked anxious, but Li Xiaotian didn’t want to listen at all.

“Whatever it is, talk about it tomorrow. Can’t you see Brother Feng and I are discussing a big plan?”

“Brother Feng has already drunk, so I must drink too!”

Saying this, Li Xiaotian was about to continue drinking.

The shopkeeper was extremely anxious. Seeing that Li Xiaotian wouldn't listen at all, he simply stopped trying to prevent him from drinking.

Instead, while Li Xiaotian was drinking, the shopkeeper directly leaned into Li Xiaotian’s ear and shouted, “Young Master, something terrible has happened!”

“The caravan has been robbed again!”

The shopkeeper almost screamed with all his might.

And with that shout, the three people, who were still clinking cups, instantly froze in place.

Even Li Xiaotian was stunned.

With a “clatter,” the metal wine cup in his hand fell to the ground.

Then Li Xiaotian’s legs gave out, and he directly knelt down.

As he knelt, he shouted, “Didn’t they say the people were near Ye Family Pass?”

“How did they end up in Jianglan City again?”

“Who! Who the hell is it!”
