The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 234: There is still a tough battle to fight

Lin Congyun's eyes were deep. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "He is waiting for an opportunity and redeploying."

"Redeploy?" Fang Xinlei repeated these words thoughtfully, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Should we take this opportunity..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Congyun gently shook his head and interrupted him: "Don't act rashly. We have limited manpower, and we must not expose ourselves because of impatience."

Fang Xinlei heard this, although he felt a little unwilling, he still nodded obediently and retreated behind Lin Congyun.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the air. Fang Xinfeng walked over hurriedly with a serious look on his face: "Grandma, something's wrong."

Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

"Our people discovered that the troops outside are quietly moving, and seem to be planning to surround this valley." Fang Xinfeng's voice was low and powerful, and every word revealed an indescribable sense of tension.

When Lin Congyun heard this, a sharp light flashed in her eyes. Before she could say anything, Fang Xinlei spoke first.

"Surround the valley? Do they already know our location?"

At this time, Wu Jinjie also came over in a hurry, "Grandfather, Huo Xiongcai escaped with his men."

"What?" Lin Congyun stood up suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "How could he escape? Wasn't there someone guarding him?"

"Someone was watching him, but he took advantage of our inattention, knocked out the person guarding him, and then ran away." A trace of guilt appeared on Wu Jinjie's face.

"How long has he been on the run?" Lin Congyun asked in a deep voice, trying to calm himself down.

"I don't know the exact time, but it looks like he escaped yesterday." Wu Jinjie replied quickly.

Lin Congyun's heart sank. She knew that Huo Xiongcai's escape was probably related to the Second Prince surrounding them at this time.

However, it is not so easy to get out of the valley. After all, there are only two places to exit, and both of them have traps. How did Huo Xiongcai know about the traps?

At this time, Wu Jinjie said again: "Ancestor, it seems that the villagers of Nanyuan Village told Huo Xiongcai about the mechanism."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. They did not expect that the villagers of Nanyuan Village would actually betray them.

Lin Congyun's face turned ugly. Now was not the time to pursue responsibility. She had to find a way as soon as possible to prevent the Second Prince's men from entering the valley.

"Grandma, let me take people to capture Huo Xiongcai!" Fang Xinlei's eyes flashed with anger and eagerness. He clenched his fists, as if ready to rush out of the valley at any time.

But Lin Congyun shook her head, her eyes revealing an extraordinary calmness and determination: "No, we can't go out. There are the Second Prince's men everywhere outside. Once we go out, we will expose ourselves. At that time, not only will we be in danger, but we will also implicate other people in the valley."

After hearing this, Fang Xinlei felt unwilling, but he also understood that what Lin Congyun said was true. He gritted his teeth and tried to calm his inner anger.

"So what should we do now?" There was a slight tremor in Wu Jinjie's voice. Obviously, he also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Lin Congyun took a deep breath, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on Fang Xinfeng: "Xinfeng, take your men to strengthen the defense of the valley cave gate immediately, and make sure that the Second Prince's men cannot break through."

When Fang Xinfeng heard this, his expression froze. He immediately nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Then, Lin Congyun turned to look at Fang Xinlei, "Xinlei, you and the butler take people to the passage, and make sure no one comes in."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Fang Xinlei's eyes. He nodded in response and turned to leave.

Watching the two people's backs as they left, Lin Congyun was not idle either. Instead, he entered the space and found some weapons, sleeping pills, kerosene and other things, preparing to make countermeasures.

After Lin Congyun came out of the space, he went to the valley cave entrance and passage to check. Only after finding that there was no problem did he feel relieved.

But she knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and there would be a tough battle to fight next.

The Second Prince's troops had assembled outside the valley. He looked at the valley ahead with a sinister look, a cruel smile on his lips.

"You old woman, I want to see how long you can hide in there!" He said gritting his teeth, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Huo Xiongcai, who was standing next to him, said with a flattering look on his face, "Your Highness, when are we going to attack?"

The second prince glanced at him, with a cruel smile on his face: "No hurry, wait until they let down their guard, then we will capture them in one fell swoop. I want to make sure that no one inside can escape!"

Huo Xiongcai's heart trembled when he heard this, but an even more flattering smile appeared on his face: "Your Highness the Second Prince is wise!"

The second prince ignored Huo Xiongcai and turned to look in the direction of the valley.

He was waiting, waiting for the best time to attack.

Lin Congyun in the valley distributed the sleeping pills to Fang Deyu, Zhang Liucui and others so that they could also defend themselves.

At this time, Niu Qigu also came over, "Madam, I heard that Huo Xiongcai was let go by my people?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun turned around and looked at Niu Qigu, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Yes, Huo Xiongcai was indeed released. Moreover, the villagers of Nanyuan Village also told him the mechanism to get out. Now the people outside have surrounded the valley."

When Niu Qigu heard this, her face turned pale and she asked in a trembling voice, "Then...what should we do now?"

"What should we do? Just leave it alone!" Lin Congyun said unhappily.

Niu Qigu was left speechless by Lin Congyun. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

"I...I didn't expect it to turn out like this." She said weakly.

Lin Congyun glanced at her and softened his tone a little: "It's no use talking about this now. Let's think about how to deal with the next situation."

Wait, the villagers of Nanyuan Village don’t know about the mechanism on the other side of the passage, but they know the mechanism on this side of the valley cave gate, and this mechanism can only be opened from the inside.

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun immediately asked Niu Qigu to gather all the people in their Nanyuan Village together, to prevent that person from opening the mechanism and letting the Second Prince's people in, which would cause bad things.

After a short while, Niu Qigu gathered the people from Nanyuan Village on a flat ground in the valley.

Lin Congyun walked up to the villagers and asked, "Seventh Aunt, are all the people in your village here?"
