The old Lu family now has nearly 10,000 slaves.

Spring ploughing is over, and the first phase of the canal project has also reached the final stage.

Nearly 10,000 slaves could not just eat and do nothing, and would definitely continue to arrange work.

Lu Wu originally planned to collect materials, but his heart was not so big, thinking that he was about to build a city.

He collected materials in order to build farms within the fiefdom and rely on them to better build the territory.

Materials include a variety of clay, which is the most basic material that can be used.

And then there's the wood.

The ancients built houses, not paying attention to some can be casual, a little pursuit must be rammed earth walls.

Houses also need to use a lot of wood, such as doors, windows, load-bearing, and the most used is the roof.

As for thatch, it's all over the mountains.

Lu Wu planned the collection plan before leaving, and after explaining it to his retainers, he took the necessary escort forces and rode to Xintian in a chariot.

The eight secretaries of the Jin State, their main base is in their own fiefdom, but as the head of the family, they have been in the national capital Xintian for a long time.

This is the inevitability of their identity, and they need to be productive at all times.

Because the head of the family is in Xintian, the family will definitely deploy strong force in Xintian to ensure the personal safety of the head of the family.

And their heirs actually stay in the fiefdom most of the time, and there may be a few children who are focused on training before they will be brought to live in Xintian.

Neither Wei Xiang nor Han Wuji approved of Lü Wu going to Xintian in person.

Their original intention was that it was just a borrowing of people, and it was not a big deal, so they didn't need Lu Wu, who was building a fief, to ask for help in person.

Lu Wu had his own ideas.

He had already asked for help from the Han family and the Wei family once, and borrowed a large number of craftsmen, and if he wanted to borrow someone again, he would have to come forward as a son-in-law.

Otherwise, even if they are close in blood, they will always be unable to withstand the wear and tear of affection, let alone a son-in-law.

As for the security of the territory after leaving?

The next generation of the Zhao clan, the Han clan and the Wei clan are all in the "yin" land, and in terms of force, together with the old Lu family itself, four or five thousand warriors have gathered.

What guy who doesn't open his eyes dares to provoke?

Outsiders don't seek to seize it, and the in-laws want to seize this kind of thing, and what they can spy on is the knowledge and technology of the old Lu family.

Lu Wu didn't want to hide what he put on the surface, if he could take this opportunity to see these in-laws clearly, it would actually be a good thing.

"Lord." Ling ran briskly towards the chariot, climbed up after asking for instructions, and said in a low voice: "There is a forest ahead, and there are people inside." ”

Lu Wu asked the team to stop and rest for a while.

With his mentality of wanting to stabilize everything, he will not forget to send people to investigate and warn in the surrounding area.

Some time ago, the old Lu family had just cleared within a hundred miles.

How far is this from the "yin" city, how can outsiders be found?

Ling didn't know how many people were hiding in the woods in front of him, but he could understand that he must have bad intentions.

Before Lu Wu could think about whether it was a savage who came to retaliate, he listened to Ling continue to tell what he had seen.

In order to prevent being discovered, Ling didn't see how many people were in the woods, but he could tell who they were from their body movements.

According to him, the woods were definitely not savages, but more like trained assassins.

When Lu Wu heard Ling's judgment that he was an assassin, his expression became very solemn.

The minor nobles could afford to raise samurai, but the non-big nobles could not train assassins.

An assassin appeared in the fief of the old Lu family?

How long has Lu Wu been here, and he hasn't offended anyone......

Seems a little wrong?

He killed the Qin State Doctor Shi Liang.

The point is, even if Qin Guo wants to retaliate, the speed shouldn't be so fast, right?

There were too many doubts in his mind, but he didn't delay in acting at all.

On the premise of confirming that the other party did not know that he had been discovered, Lu Wu asked the samurai to wear armor, and of course he also had to wear armor, and at the same time sent people back to transfer troops, while asking for some other details.

Lu Wu's armor, the previous set was robbed by Zhi Gang.

After the end of the service, the ...... of the armor that was built, that is, the part of the armor that was completed later, was made.

The armor on his body became the main torso was armor, and the rest of the armor was leather.

Since it is an assassin, there will not be too many of them.

It's okay for Assassins to engage in assassinations and surprise attacks, but head-to-head is not what they're good at.

Lu Wucai didn't care what this group of assassins were doing, they had already entered their own fiefdom, especially if they found out, they must be solved.

All the armor was finished, and the bows and arrows they carried were distributed.

They quickly gathered around the woods, and then continued to send out men to snoop.

Wei Rui didn't express his opinion just now, and suddenly said before he was about to start: "Lord, he is here for the Zhao family." ”

He used a firm tone and word formation.

Lu Wu had already thought of it, and his face would be so solemn.

The Assassins hiding in the woods, they did not rest along the edge of the woods, but hid in the depths.

It's just that the depths aren't that deep.

This is determined by the size of the forest.

Four hundred samurai surrounded and closed in, quickly alarming the Assassins inside.

The Assassins didn't know they were coming.

After all, they need to hide, and they must hide themselves.

There are very few people passing by in the wilderness, and there is no need to be watched.

As a result, they didn't know that they were surrounded until they were encircled, and they didn't want to break through directly.

And at this time, Lu Wu's side finally knew how many people were inside.

There were eleven Assassins in all, and they did not wear black clothes and cover their faces, but only ordinary civilian clothes, but each with their own unique weapons.

The battle broke out when the Assassins chose to break out.

The trees in the woods are not dense, but the vegetation on the ground is very dense.

The warrior with the bow of the old Lu family approached about fifty meters and shot a wave of arrows first, limited to terrain factors, but it was a result.

This is also understandable.

The woods are not suitable for using bows and arrows in the first place, and even using long weapons will seem to be at a loss.

Lü Wu was escorted by the samurai regiment, and one order after another was given.

They had an absolute numerical superiority, with armor in close combat and archers in distant combat, and by the time they reached twenty meters, the archers had already shot or wounded four men.

Waiting for hand-to-hand combat, the samurai formed a formation in the form of a battle formation, and even if the assassin was skilled, in the face of such a hard-fought battle, the skills he learned could not be used at all, only to be slaughtered.

"Leave no mouth alive."

With a wave of his hand, the archers fired arrows at the last three Assassins who were surrounded by him, turning them into hedgehogs.

Where the assassin came from, Lu Wu only needed to guess, and there was even a lot of room for maneuver.

Alone cannot be left alive for interrogation.

"Lord?" Wei Rui went to look at the corpses of those assassins, returned to Lu Wu's side, and asked, "Turn?" ”

Such an incident happened, and of course Nitta couldn't go.

They went back the way they came, and halfway through they ran into their own team.

Leading the team was Wei Jiang, who exaggerated the pull of a thousand soldiers.

Fortunately, the samurai are also concentrated, and there is nothing for them to do again, otherwise they can come over so quickly.

Wei Jiang asked the imperial hand to control the chariot and go hand in hand with Lu Wu, and asked, "Who?" ”

Lu Wu replied, "I don't know. ”

Wei Jiang still wanted to ask, but was stopped by his own Rongyou.

His Rong right is a retainer of the Wei family.

The Wei retainer saluted Lu Wu with a smile, and then whispered to Wei Jiang: "I don't know it, I can't say it." ”

Wei Jiang also reacted, it's not that the big nobles can't afford to raise assassins.

Then there are only a few doubtful targets, and thinking about it at a deeper level, some people still haven't given up to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

They are wondering, is the situation on Xintian's side already so serious?

As a result, some people couldn't bear it and started it.
