Ye Chen frowned, his eyes full of irritability and anxiety. He paced back and forth in the simple tent, muttering: "Mom, this life is really not a human life. Here at Ghost, we have nothing but endless dangers."

Manni sat aside, her eyes showing a calm and profound look. She looked at her son like this and sighed softly: "Ye Chen, when will you grow up? In the current situation, we have to endure it."

Ye Chen stopped suddenly and shouted at Manni: "Endure? We are almost suffocated. The poor treatment is bad, but we may be destroyed by the Shang army at any time. And that Nie Bo is like a wolf watching us. We are like lambs to be slaughtered."

Manni frowned slightly and said seriously: "Do you think losing your temper can solve the problem? We are now surviving among the bandits, but this is only temporary. You have to learn to judge the situation. Being impulsive like you will only kill us all. As the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero. We have to wait for the opportunity."

Ye Chen's eyes widened: "Wait? How long do we have to wait? We don't have much time."

Manni raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "Huh, I have already made arrangements. Didn't you ask me why I arranged for Meizi to join the Shangguo military camp? That was my move."

Ye Chen was shocked: "What? You sent Meizi to the Shangguo military camp? Isn't she in danger?"

Manni rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and said, "Silly boy, dangerous? In this chaotic world, there is no place that is not dangerous. Meizi has her abilities, she will bring us useful information. Besides, I have other plans."

Ye Chen frowned: "Other plans? You don't want to..."

"Hey! You're not that stupid, you fool." Manny interrupted Ye Chen, "I want you to go and persuade Nie Bo. Although you are not his biological son, in the name of the Ye family, you are still his son."

Ye Chen looked reluctant: "I won't go. Nie Bo is a cruel man. How could he listen to me?"

Manni stood up, walked to Ye Chen, and patted his shoulder: "How do you know if you don't try? We must find a few more ways out for ourselves now. Although Nie Bo is fierce, he also has his ambitions. We can use his ambitions to gain a place for ourselves."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll try. But if he does something bad to me, I won't care."

Manni smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't touch you easily. You are a member of the Ye family, and you are still useful to him."

A few days later, Ye Chen arrived at Nie Bo's camp. Nie Bo sat on a tiger-skin chair in the tent, looking at Ye Chen sharply.

"Hmph, Ye Chen, why did you come to see me? Don't tell me you are here to reminisce about the past." Nie Bo's voice was low and majestic.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Nie Bo, I know there are many conflicts between us, but given the current situation, we can cooperate."

Nie Bo sneered: "Cooperation? Do you think I will cooperate with a kid from the Ye family like you? You Ghosts are nothing but lost dogs now."

Ye Chen suppressed his anger: "Nie Bo, don't underestimate us. Although we are in a difficult situation now, we also have our strength. Besides, don't you want to swallow up Ghost and expand your power?"

Nie Bo's eyes flashed, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Ye Chen continued, "If you cooperate with us, we can provide you with intelligence inside Ghost and help you successfully swallow up Ghost. And you have to ensure our safety and interests."

Nie Bo stood up, walked in front of Ye Chen, and stared into his eyes: "Do you think I will believe you? You are just a brat."

Ye Chen did not back down: "Nie Bo, you are a smart man. You should know that this is an opportunity for you. Moreover, I really want to cooperate with you. If you miss this opportunity, the Shang army will not let us go, and you will not have an easy time then."

Nie Bo pondered for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, Ye Chen, I will trust you once. But if you dare to betray me, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid like that."

On the other side, Manni received a message from Meizi from the Shangguo military camp. She looked at the contents of the letter and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph, it seems my plan is going smoothly. Whether it is Nie Bo or Shang Guo, they will become my pawns." Manny said to herself.

Ye Chen returned to the Ghost Camp and told Manny about his cooperation with Nie Bo. Manny nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, son. Next, we will wait and see them fight each other, and then we will reap the benefits."

Ye Chen was a little worried: "Mom, is this really okay? If they find out about our plan, we'll be finished."

Manni patted Ye Chen's head: "Silly boy, this is a gamble. We have no other choice. Only in this way can we survive in this chaotic world."

As time went by, Nie Bo began to act according to the plan, and his army gradually approached the Ghost. The Shang army also noticed Nie Bo's movements and began to strengthen its defenses.

Inside the ghost, some people began to notice something strange and they became suspicious of Ye Chen and Manni.

"Ye Chen, have you colluded with Nie Bo? Do you want to kill us all?" The captain of the Death Squad roared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked flustered: "No, you misunderstood. I am doing this for the good of all of us."

Manni stood up and said loudly: "Everyone calm down. We are now facing a matter of life and death, and we must make some sacrifices. Everything Ye Chen and I have done is for the future of Ghost."

But some bandits did not believe them and the situation began to become chaotic.

At this time, the Shang army suddenly launched an attack and they approached Nie Bo's camp. Nie Bo did not expect the Shang army to attack at this time, so he hurriedly fought back.

In the ghost camp, Ye Chen looked at Manni anxiously: "Mom, what should we do now? We can't afford to offend both sides."

A trace of determination flashed in Manni's eyes: "Let's hold our ground for now and see how the situation develops. If Nie Bo can resist the Shang army, we will continue to cooperate with him. If he can't, we will think of other ways."

On the battlefield, smoke filled the air and shouts of killing shook the sky. Nie Bo's army and the Shang army were in a bitter battle. Nie Bo rode on his horse, waving his sword and shouting loudly: "Brothers, kill! We can't be defeated by these guys from Shang."

The generals of the Shang army were also encouraging the soldiers: "Soldiers, if we eliminate Nie Bo, we can control this area. For the glory of Shang, charge!"

In the Ghost Camp, Ye Chen and Manni were nervously watching the battle. Suddenly, a Shang army rushed towards the Ghost Camp.

"Oh no, they are going to attack us." Ye Chen shouted.

Manny's face changed: "Quick, organize defense. We can't be wiped out by them like this."

The ghostly bandits took up arms and prepared to resist the attack of the Shang army. The battle was about to start, and the fate of Ye Chen and Manni became more complicated and confusing. Can they survive this chaos and realize their ambitions? Everything is still unknown.
