In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

"The situation is not optimistic. The city is still in chaos, and everyone is trying to find clues to the treasure."

The bandits outside the city numbered nearly ten thousand. They were already preparing weapons for siege.

They sent a message to Prefect Ling, demanding that he hand over the treasure, or allow them to enter and retrieve it. They threatened to attack Jiangling City if he refused.

Gu Hanyuan has an intelligence advantage.

It's obvious from the sound that Zhao Min is deliberately creating a diversion.

However, in order to cooperate with Zhao Min.

He didn't intend to expose him.

He said solemnly:

"Has Madam Guo discussed a solution with Prefect Ling?"

After pondering for a moment, Huang Rong said:

"Although we cannot get support from the imperial court, I have already sent a message back to the Beggars' Sect in Xiangyang. Elder Lu will soon bring his troops to support us."

Now, all we need to do is stall for time until they arrive. Then we'll have enough manpower to suppress them and force those scattered martial arts practitioners to help defend the city.

Gu Hanyuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.

It seems Huang Rong had made arrangements in advance.

It just seems there's not enough time.

He raised his eyebrows and asked:

"How does Madam Guo plan to stall for time?"

Huang Rong had no intention of hiding it.

He frowned and said:

"Although the bandits outside the city have all been won over and subdued by the Mongol Yuan dynasty, they are not under each other's command, and some were even originally enemies. They don't get along very well."

I have already contacted the powerful clans and fortified villages that have a grudge against the strongest band of bandits to launch a surprise attack on their stronghold.

The main force of that bandit gang is currently in Jiangling City, leaving their stronghold vulnerable. There's absolutely no reason for them not to agree.

Regardless of whether the bandits return to rescue the city, the already delicate relationships between the various bandit groups will inevitably lead to discord. Even if they don't take advantage of the situation, they will no longer be able to work together to attack Jiangling City.

As for the experts of the Mongol Yuan dynasty…

Huang Rong suddenly paused.

She smiled sweetly and winked at Gu Hanyuan, saying:

"With the peerless Young Master Gu around, how could I possibly have anything to worry about?"

That fleeting moment of charm.

It exudes a youthful and girlish charm.

Gu Hanyuan couldn't help but marvel at the charm of this treasure trove of heaven and earth's spirit.

Every smile and frown of hers is captivatingly beautiful.

He sincerely praised:

"Madam Guo is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also incredibly resourceful. I admire her greatly."

These words of praise made Huang Rong feel ashamed.

Her jade-like face was radiant.

His gaze was lowered.

She dared not meet Gu Hanyuan's gaze.

But they didn't notice the strange smile on his face.

Normally.

Huang Rong's strategy is feasible.

Unfortunately, Gu Hanyuan did not inform Huang Rong of Zhao Min's information.

Secondly, Gu Hanyuan himself also played a role in this, pushing things forward and fully cooperating.

In other words, Huang Rong was betrayed by him before the fight even started.

Based on information asymmetry.

This resulted in Huang Rong losing Gu Hanyuan, her biggest helper.

They were a step behind Zhao Min.

Sure enough, before Huang Rong could recover from her embarrassment...

Then a servant from the Ling family came to report that there was an emergency.

The two looked at each other.

They rushed to the main hall.

Apart from Ling Tuisi, whose expression was gloomy.

Bai Wanjian was seen pacing anxiously in circles.

Seeing this, Huang Rong asked in surprise:

"Master Bai, what's going on?"

Bai Wanjian saw the two arrive.

Overjoyed, he said:

"Young Master Gu, Junior Sister Hua has been captured!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan asked with a solemn expression:

"Master Bai, what's going on?"

Bai Wanjian beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying:

"My four senior uncles have betrayed us; they tricked Junior Sister Hua away."

Huang Rong was stunned and said:

Why didn't Wang Xiaofeng come to report this?

Bai Wanjian asked in confusion:

"Wang Xiaofeng?"

Huang Rong had already noticed something amiss.

But still explained:

"That's Master Dai's disciple. He suddenly came to my door and said he felt that the four seniors of the Snow Mountain Sect were a bit strange and that I should be careful. Since he volunteered, I let him go and keep an eye on them."

Bai Wanjian said in astonishment:

"You sent people to monitor them?"

Huang Rong lightly bit her thin lips.

There is an ominous feeling.

He said slowly:

"Yes, Young Master Gu noticed early on that the four people's expressions were strange and that there was a possibility of them betraying him."

Gu Hanyuan took over the conversation.

He said regretfully:

"In that case, Wang Xiaofeng must have also betrayed us."

Sure enough, another person barged in at that moment.

It is Mount Tai.

He said anxiously and with a frustrated expression:

“Wang Xiaofeng tricked Sheng’er away.”

Huang Rong sighed:

"really."

The group explained the whole story to Dai.

Dai, enraged, exclaimed:

"I will capture this traitor and bring him back to cleanse the sect!"

Wang Xiaofeng is not only Dai's apprentice.

He is also his nephew.

This shows how furious Dai was about his betrayal.

Gu Hanyuan saw that everything was going according to plan.
