Chapter 298 Fame

When night falls, the birds return to their nests, and the people return home.

At this time, in the study of the head of the Wu family, the first family in Huoyi City, the four major speakers of the Wu family were talking about the destruction of the Lu and Zhang families.

"Regarding the news that the Lu and Zhang families outside the city were wiped out by Li Yuan to steal food, I think you all know about it?" Wu Jiayi asked.

The three of them nodded, the news of the destruction of the Lu and Zhang families had already spread in the city, they were all in power of the Wu family, and someone had already reported to them.

"In the evening, I received a letter!"

Wu Jiayi's face was a little solemn, "It is a handwritten letter written by Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng, in which he persuaded our Wu family to take refuge in them, and asked us to cooperate with their army to attack the city!" Let's talk about it, how should our Wu family choose? ”

The faces of the three of them suddenly changed, and after thinking for a while, Wu Jiaer frowned and asked, "How does the eldest brother decide?"

"It's still undecided!"

The head of the Wu family shook his head, his face a little solemn, "Originally, my plan was to remain neutral and not help each other. If Huoyi City is breached, we will give Li Yuan some money and food, and then take refuge in them. If Li Yuan can't attack Huoyi City, we won't have to pay attention to them. But now, they came to the door, and it was not easy to do! ”

Wu Jiasan thought for a while, "Big brother, I think I can agree!" Li Yuan's army has been blocked in Huoyi City for more than ten days, if Li Yuan can't break the city as soon as possible, those family lords who have been waiting and watching will completely abandon him, and now is the most difficult time for Li Yuan. If our Wu family helps him break the city at this time, we will be a charcoal in the snow, and if they succeed in the future, we will be the heroes. ”

"The third brother will only think of good things! I don't know if the third brother has ever thought that all the clansmen of our Wu family are in Huoyi City, once the matter is leaked, or Li Yuan's army cannot be attacked, what will happen to our Wu family at that time, will it be wiped out by Song Laosheng? ”

Wu Jiasan's face changed suddenly, and he didn't say anything more, obviously he also recognized his brother's worries.

Wu Jiasi looked at the other three and said, "Even if we succeed in helping Li Yuan break the city, it is hard to say whether he will cross the river and tear down the bridge, or whether he will destroy the door and steal food again." I remember that the head of the Lu family and Li Yuan knew each other, and their relationship was good before. When Li Yuan cleared the rebels, the Lu family also sent them money and food to support them, but now Li Yuan has wiped out their family for the sake of food and grass! ”

The faces of the three of them changed again, and after a while, Wu Jiaer worried: "But if we don't agree, once they break through the city, will Li Yuan hold a grudge and destroy us in a fit of anger?"

"I'm just worried that there are only these two possibilities, so I can't decide!"

Wu Jiayi smiled a little bitterly and sighed, "I really can't imagine that Li Yuan is such a bottomless person, he would turn his face and deny people for some food, grass and money, and he will kill people and destroy people." I now regret that I didn't get some of my clansmen out of Huoyi City in advance! ”

For a while, the four brothers were a little silent, and after a long time, the four Wu family members sighed and suggested, "That's it, big brother!" Didn't we have a cache of money and grain in our location No. 1 outside the city? We secretly dedicated all this money and grain to Li Yuan, and then told Li Yuan that these money and grain are ninety percent of our Wu family's property, and all our clansmen are in the city, so we dare not make a rash move, please forgive me! ”

When the three Wu family masters heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and Wu Jiasan was a little reluctant to say, "Fourth brother, will this be too much?"

When troubled times come, whether it is ordinary people or big families, they are all worried that their money, food and property will be robbed by various military bandits, so they will hide most of their money, food and property secretly.

The same is true of their Wu family, who hid most of their possessions in four locations very early, among which at the No. 1 location outside the city, they hid 10,000 stone of grain and 10,000 taels of silver. Although their Wu family is the first family in Huoyi County, it is only a small family, if you don't count the real estate and land, the 10,000 stone grain and 10,000 taels of silver are already sixty percent of their Wu family's property.

"That's better than destroying the door, right?"

Wu Jiasi sighed and said, "In addition, no matter whether Li Yuan can break through Huoyi City this time, after the matter passes, we must send some of our clansmen out of Huoyi City!" ”

The Wu family thought for a while and asked, "Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"

Wu Jiaer nodded, and Wu Laosan was a little reluctant, but finally nodded in agreement!

With a general decision on the matter, Wu Jiayi's solemn expression relaxed a little, thought about it, and asked again: "Where does the fourth brother think it would be better to send the clansmen?"

Wu Jiasi pondered for a while, "It's best to send it to the territory of the Allied Army, where it is safer." ”

"Isn't that great?"

Wu Jiaer frowned a little, "I heard that Lai Guogong is a little dislike the big family, he will restrict the development of the big family, and Lai Guogong does not allow the people to buy and sell land privately, let alone buy and sell a large amount of land!" ”

"Second brother, you're thinking too much!"

Wu Jiayi smiled a little bitterly, "Lai Guogong's restriction is the gate valve of the big family, like us, small families, or can only be said to be large commoners, can't enter their sight at all!" Moreover, even if we can buy a large amount of land, how much can we buy for a property like ours? ”

Wu Jiaer was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little wryly, "I really think too much!" ”

Wu Jiasi also smiled, and said with a straight face: "Although Lai Guogong is a big family with restrictions, he has a bottom line and rules. Under his rule, whether it is a big family or an ordinary person, as long as they act according to the rules he set, they don't have to worry about their lives or being robbed. Moreover, among the rebel forces in the world, the strength of the allied army can be ranked in the top three, with such a development momentum, even if Lai Guogong cannot sweep the world in the future, he will definitely be able to dominate one side. As long as we send our people to Donglai County, no matter how the situation develops in this world in the future, we don't have to worry about their safety anymore! ”

"Fourth brother is right!"

Wu Jiayi also smiled, "In this troubled world, everything is false, only the safety of the clan is the most important!" It's easy to do things if you have rules, you don't have to look ahead or back, you don't have to think too much, as long as you follow the rules! ”

After speaking, Wu Jiayi sighed a little and said, "It's just too far!" In this troubled world, it is difficult for us to send our people to Donglai County safely, and the people may not be willing to go! ”
