Someone once said that the so-called loyalty is just because there are not enough chips for betrayal.
Of course, some people say that the reason for betrayal is because the price of betrayal is too low.
Loyalty and betrayal have been repeated and interpreted from ancient times to the present. Human nature wanders between the two, right and wrong, good and evil, and it is impossible to explain clearly.
But at this moment, Guan Laosan's betrayal was because he thought he saw clearly the bargaining chip and price of betrayal.
Seeing Guan Laosan and his men escorting the tied up Guan Laoqi and Mr. Yue's families, Mrs. Xu's expression changed slightly.
"sister in law!"
Before Mrs. Xu could speak, Princess Yuyan next to her had already looked at her.
"It's okay!"
Mrs. Xu was very calm.
She could more or less guess what Guan Laosan and his gang wanted to do.
However, even if she guessed what Guan Laosan wanted to do, Mrs. Xu could only pretend to be confused. She had to give Guan Laosan a chance to perform before he dug his own grave.
Guan Laosan can think of the temperament of the old Xu family, and so can Mrs. Xu.
If Guan Laosan makes this matter easy to suppress, then it will be very difficult to severely punish or even execute these people.
The human heart is so weird!
But if Guan Laosan wanted to die on his own, then he could really die.
"Guan Laosan, what do you want to do?"
Mrs. Xu spoke, looking at Guan Laosan and the others, her voice was cold.
"Sister-in-law of the Xu family, it's not that I am unkind to Guan Laosan. It's just that in this situation, for the safety of all of us, I ask your family to find another place to live!"
Now that he had taken action, how could it be that Guan Laosan had not made any preparations
Although his purpose was to capture the old Xu family members and send them to the capital, this matter definitely could not be accomplished overnight. He had to figure it out slowly, trying to kill him with one blow.
"What's the meaning?"
Mrs. Xu narrowed her eyes.
"Sister-in-law of the Xu family, don't pretend to be confused because you understand!"
"Why are we encountering these things in Lingshui Village? Isn't it because of what Brother Xu and the others did?"
"Why should we, the rest of us, suffer along with you for the trouble your family has caused?"
"If it weren't for you, we would still be living well in the village, and there would be no need to leave our hometown and take refuge in these deep mountains and old forests!"
"This is all caused by your family!"
Guan Laosan had really done his homework. Just this slap on the label successfully inflamed the anger of the villagers.
Along the way from the village into the mountains, there were poisonous insects and wolves, and now there wasn't even much to eat. The villagers' hearts were filled with fire.
Guan Laosan's words gave the villagers in the camp a target to vent their pent-up anger.
In this way, without any surprise, everyone in the old Xu family became the target of public criticism.
"In that case, let's just leave!"
Old Mrs. Xu looked at the familiar villagers who were extremely hostile to everyone here, slowly exhaled a breath, and gave the answer.
However, Mrs. Xu did not think that Guan Laosan's purpose was just this.
If they were simply separated from the people of Lingshui Village, then there was no need for them to tie up Guan Laoqi's family and Mr. Yue's family.
But before Guan Laosan Tu Qiongdagger met, Mrs. Xu had no intention of confronting him forcefully.
As for being separated from the villagers, it's really not a big deal.
Originally, she just wanted to take her family to the mountain stronghold that King Yan once built. It was only when Guan Laoqi said that their ancestors of the Guan family left a route map for evacuation into the mountain that Mrs. Xu took them. Follow Guan Laoqi and the others.
Now that they are separated, it is not like the old Xu family has no escape route.
"Sister-in-law of the Xu family, I know that such a request is a bit excessive."
"It's just that we have no choice!"
"If you and your family follow us all the time, we may not be able to survive even if we escape into the mountains!"
"The third child and brother Yue are close to your family. I guess they will object to this matter. Therefore, I can only tie them up first!"
"After you leave, I will naturally let them go!"
After Mrs. Xu agreed to his request, Guan Laosan explained why he had tied up the two families of Guan Laosan and Mr. Yue, and then he led the others to the side.
"Sister-in-law of the Xu family, I, Guan Laosan, can't stand you for this!"
"In the future, if we can all survive, I, Guan Laosan, will do whatever you want!"
Before leading the people to leave, Guan Laosan said these words.
And when he said this, he instantly felt like a tragic hero who had no choice but to do so, and his status in the hearts of the villagers in Lingshui Village instantly rose a lot.
"We'll leave after dawn!"
Mrs. Xu didn't care whether Guan Laosan's words were true or false. Whether it's true or false, the fate between their old Xu family and Lingshui Village is now over.
Mrs. Xu didn't want things to come to this point.
But many things in this world are not what you want.
"Mom, he is lying!"
After Guan Laosan and others left, everyone in Lao Xu's family also dispersed. Fu Bao leaned into the ear of his mother, Mrs. Xu, and whispered, "They want to arrest Li Nian, threaten Master and Uncle Master, and attack us! "
Fu Bao told his mother his dream as quickly as possible.
"Mom knows!"
After hearing Fubao's words, Mrs. Xu immediately understood what Guan Laosan's purpose was for doing so many things. This person really has some tricks up his sleeve. Without Fu Bao's warning, they might really fall for such a trick.
At this moment, Mrs. Xu found Lu Xian'er, turned Fubao's dream into her guess, and told Lu Mudan to take good care of her son.
Lu Mudan pondered for a moment and then gave an affirmative answer.
However, whether it was Mrs. Xu, Fubao, or Lu Mudan, they still underestimated Guan Laosan.
Guan Laosan indeed used a delaying tactic.
But his real killer move was to hide someone in Old Xu's house.
To be precise, one of the nannies invited by Princess Yuyan to take care of those little babies was Guan Laosan's spy.
When dawn arrived and everyone's vigilance dropped a lot, the nun who had been helping with cooking since the day they entered the mountain squatted down and prepared breakfast for Lu Mudan and Lu Xian'er.
Then, just when Lu Mudan and Lu Xian'er were picking up their breakfast and inviting Li Nian to eat, the nun suddenly got angry and kidnapped Li Nian before Lu Mudan and Lu Xian'er could recover.
"Don't move, or I'll kill this little brat!"
As soon as this nanny took action, she successfully achieved the strategic goal.
Little chubby Li Nian became the most important bargaining chip in Guan Laosan's hands. (End of chapter)
