Speaking of the Li family salt mine in Chang'an, few people know that the salt mine at that time was not something that could be publicized, especially the Li family did not vigorously mine it.

A cottage was built on the basis of the salt mine, and if it wasn't for bandits, no one would pay attention to it, and even if someone saw it, they would only think that it was a rich man who built another courtyard in the mountains.

Li De had long thought about the salt mine, and the construction of the cottage must not be able to hide the matter of the salt mine, so he increased the scale and construction cost of the cottage.

From the outside, it is a cottage, but when you look at it up close, it is a brick courtyard, and the scale is very large, and you can't see the backyard from the front yard, which saves a lot of trouble.

There is no need for a large place to dig and make fine salt, a few rooms and a large open space are sufficient, and the amount of salt processed here is not very large, and it does not attract suspicion.

As for how the fine salt leaked out, it is not known.

Hua Chen didn't know much about the situation, but he heard that the Li family had such an industry, and Li De personally told him.

It was dark early in winter, and Huachen closed the shop early, and happened to meet the caravan people coming out.

"Objectively, you are going out, then I will ask the shopkeeper to leave the door for you." Hua Chen said.

The shop is also closed, and the inn is the same, it's okay at night, who goes out, and Chang'an City is no better than other places, and there is a curfew at night.

"It's windy outside tonight, and some of the big guests need to wear more, and there is still an hour before the curfew." Hua Chen reminded.

"No need to leave the door, we won't be back in the evening." As soon as one of them suddenly spoke, the eyes of the leader glared at him, and the person who spoke immediately lowered his head.

The leader immediately changed his attitude, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "We will not come back at night when we go to drink flower wine." ”

Hua Chen showed an expression that I understood.

Waiting for everyone to leave, Hua Chen said hello to the shopkeeper after a while and went out, but instead of following these people, he wanted to activate one of the emergency plans.

There are not many people on the streets at night in the big winter, and Huachen started the plan to recruit people to help, how can it be exposed without being exposed.

Just behind the hot pot shop at the entrance of Pingkangfang Street, express delivery.

The express station is Li De's industry, and the things that people have left here have not been pulled down, how can the market that has developed with great difficulty give up.

Besides, even if it is targeted, it will not be targeted at these businessmen and people.

Hua Chen used a special way to place a letter in a designated place in a post station, and no one around it was very secret, which was a very unique way of transmitting information.

No one knows who came to get the information, they were only responsible for looking at it at a fixed time, and if there was information, it would prove that it was when they made it.

But whether it can be done depends on the ability of the recipient, Huachen doesn't know if it can be done The first time he sent it, he was still very nervous, and he slowly calmed down after returning to the restaurant.

Half an hour after Hua Chen left a no-man's land in Kaidi Station, it was almost dark, and suddenly someone appeared and left quickly.

The person who took the letter returned to an inn in less than a stick of incense, and no one expected that the person who received the letter was still a restaurant businessman.

Some people say that his peers are enemies, and he will definitely be surprised if he lets Hua Chen know.

Maybe no one cares that the person who receives the letter is actually a chef from Lion Camel Mountain, if you want to say that things are also coincidental, or how to say that people who are not working together do not enter a company.

Is it true that Chef Hu can become the chef of Lion Camel Mountain because his Hu cakes are delicious, in fact, only Pei Qingxuan and Li De know that Chef Hu and Aunt Li have a great background.

In the early years, these two were famous assassins, and later they were chased and killed by the enemy, and it was Pei Gong who came to the rescue, and the two were grateful to follow Pei Gong's side, when the young couple was not suitable to join the general army, so they stayed in Pei's Mansion as cooks.

After Pei Gong resigned, he operated near Lion Camel Mountain, and the two naturally became copycat people.

They are not masters who do not wash their hands, you must know that once they step into the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to say goodbye to the rivers and lakes, and now Li De is very powerful and has his own place.

Only then did Pei Gong recommend the two of them.

Li De was shocked when he heard the news, he didn't realize that these two were actually masters, and he didn't find them with his subtle observation ability, which shows how powerful these two people must be to not be noticed by Li De.

After reading the letter, Aunt Li threw it directly into the charcoal stove.

"What are you going to do?"

"The years are really a pig-killing knife, I can't imagine that there is still a chance to return to the old business, of course, it is to complete the task, I haven't felt the same as today for a long time, it seems that age has nothing to do with blood." Chef Hu said.

"Why did you suddenly find that what you are saying now contains truth, just the little thing in your stomach should not pretend to be a learned person, when will we do it?" Aunt Li asked.

"It's getting late out of town today, tomorrow morning."

The two chatted for a while and then rested at turning off the lights.

As soon as the Chang'an City opened, the two pushed the cart out, and there were not many people in and out in the winter, and they didn't care, anyway, they knew that they were ordinary people going out of the city, which might be to collect firewood.

In winter, I went to the mountains to find some dead branches and used them to make a fire to keep warm, and many people did this.

Chef Hu pushed the cart, the brisk pace of the tricycle was not stable in his hand, and Aunt Li followed him and looked at the harmless old husband and wife.

They are middle-aged but not as old as they look, if you look carefully at Aunt Li's appearance, it is also very good, but they don't like to dress up and hide Rong Hua.

"We're going in the right direction, isn't it missing out if we go wrong." Aunt Li said without a match.

"Wouldn't it be better to miss it, wouldn't it be more convenient to wait for them to return to Chang'an City to do it?" Chef Hu said.

Just as the two of them were hurrying to chat and pass the time, the more than thirty people who pretended to be businessmen were very uncomfortable at this time, and waited for a total of more than sixty people outside the cottage all night, and they added up to ninety people.

When they attacked, they just entered the gate of the cottage and found no one guarded at all, and when they rushed into the compound of the mansion, they saw the number one hundred and ten soldiers in heavy armor facing them.

Before the attack began, the situation of these people changed, because they had already seen the arrows towards them, and there were dozens of people in the flash of lightning.

They were all elites who chose to retreat as soon as they faced an emergency, how could the heavy armored soldiers of the Pei family let him go so easily.

So they were increasing the casualties again under the sniper fire of bows and arrows, but they did not pursue, because their task was to protect the cottage, and there was no need to chase them out after the task had been completed.
