Chapter 223: Wu Yuanjin's decision
A large number of medicines began to be transported from the official road into the town of Xingshan and other county seats.
All of this was fed back to the ears of Wu Yuanjin, the head of the Wu family, by the Wu family scouts.
In the largest courtyard of the Wu family's mansion, Wu Yuanjin's expression was cloudy, and he was at a loss for what to do in hesitation and entanglement.
"Family master, this is an opportunity, I have already sent someone to check, it is indeed as reported by the spies, now the enemy barracks are all locked gates, and wolf smoke is everywhere inside, guess right, it is burning corpses."
Wu Yuanhua said with excitement on his face.
Hearing this, Wu Yuanjin sighed and shook his head.
"Wait a minute, I think this matter is very strange, the Li family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, they were the first to dispense medicine to treat the plague, and now they are trapped by the plague, isn't it incredible?"
Wu Yuanjin asked with a frown.
Seeing that the head of the family was so cautious, Wu Yuanhua suddenly had an urgent look, as if he had lost the opportunity in front of him, which was equivalent to losing the opportunity to fight back.
"Master of the family, you have to think about it, although our grain and grass can last ten days, it is only one day, and we only provide less than thirty percent of the usual meals, that is to say, we have now reached the time when we have to fight."
Wu Yuanhua looked excited and said with an urgent expression.
At this time, the high-level members of the Wu family who heard this were all afraid, as if they had seen the moment when they ran out of ammunition and food.
"Needless to say, I'm still waiting for news, if this news is accurate, then tomorrow will be the time for our decisive battle."
Wu Yuanjin stood up resolutely with a resolute expression, directly resisting public opinion, and firmly believed in his intuition.
Then he turned around and left, leaving everyone in the Wu family with a blank look on their faces.
Late at night, Wu Yuanjin sat alone in the courtyard and pondered after everyone had fallen asleep.
"Father, if you are still here, you will definitely help me solve the dilemma in front of me, what should I do?"
Wu Yuanjin looked dazed, sighed to the sky, and muttered to himself.
He was the only one in the huge courtyard, and there was not even a guard by his side.
At the same time as the third watch was just over, a man in a night suit quietly came to the backyard of the Wu Mansion.
When he saw Wu Yuanjin drinking alone in the courtyard to kill his sorrows, he looked left and right, and only approached quietly after finding that there was no one.
When he was about to get close to Wu Yuanjin, his footsteps slowed even more slowly, as if he wanted to hide the footsteps, but his hand reached into his shirt, as if he was going to take out something.
At this time, Wu Yuanjin had just drunk the wine in the cup, and sighed bitterly, unaware that there was already someone slowly approaching him behind him.
When the distance between the two was only a foot, the man in the nightcoat stopped.
At this time, Wu Yuanjin, who was facing away from him, looked solemn and took a deep breath, as if he sensed that something very important was about to happen.
Just between this lightning and fire, the two made movements at the same time, and Wu Yuanjin suddenly turned his head and looked at the person behind him with a serious face.
At this time, the man in the night suit also looked at Wu Yuanjin.
It's just that he made a kneeling motion, but there is a letter in his hand, and he holds up the letter with both hands.
"Master, this letter was given to his subordinates by Wu Youcai, and the content in it is very important, otherwise I wouldn't have visited late at night."
The man in the night robe took off the scarf on his face, which was Yang Tianzhong in Wu Youcai's mouth.
However, Yang Tianzhong was not dissatisfied with Wu Yuanjin's desire to choose a good lord to serve as Wu Youcai said, but used Wu Youcai to inquire about the internal news of Xingshan Town.
Wu Yuanjin, who took the letter, immediately flipped through the contents.
Although the content is relatively obscure, it is revealed between the lines that Li Yue has come to Xingshan Town.
And something very important happened, and it was also very troublesome, it seemed that he wanted Yang Tianzhong to lead his troops to defect to the Wu family.
When Wu Yuanjin finished reading the letter, he immediately showed a smug smile.
"Great, I'm just waiting for your information, I didn't expect it to be very useful for me to arrange you to guard the castle tower."
Wu Yuanjin looked excited, feeling as if he had already made a decision.
As he spoke, he had already sent Yang Tianzhong away, and hurriedly went to where Wu Yuanhua was.
In the early morning of the next day, more than 20 core members of the Wu family gathered together and had already begun to plot how to counterattack.
At the same time, Li Yue took Uncle Seventh and Shi Lei plus a group of more than 20 personal guards to a chaotic stone hill.
In front of everyone is a square wooden box three feet high, two feet wide, and five feet long, and the outside of the wooden box is painted with red paint, which looks very atmospheric.
Li Yue stepped forward with an excited look on his face and gently touched the red lacquered wooden box with his hand.
"I don't know what kind of surprise that guy can bring me, but I shouldn't be wrong."
Li Yue excitedly opened the wooden box, and now the grenade in front of him was not much different from what he had seen in later generations.
An iron pillar the size of a fist, with a foot-long wooden handle underneath, feels like it should be very easy to hold.
The bottom end of the wooden handle was wrapped in oiled paper, and it looked like the workmanship was very rigorous, but Li Yue couldn't help frowning when he saw it.
"The general shape is almost the same, why is the bottom wrapped in grease? Won't it get wet? At that time, I obviously explained that I would wrap it in thin iron sheets! ”
Li Yue said with a displeased face.
Hearing this, Uncle Seven was particularly concerned and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
Picking up the grenade that Li Yue said and observing it carefully, it was as if he was admiring a work of art.
"Young master, this workmanship is very good, it is indeed good, it is more refined than the sky-shaking thunder I used in the Qi family's army."
Uncle Seven said with emotion on his face.
At this time, Li Yue picked up a grenade and poked open the oil paper, and there was indeed a copper ring pulling the lead inside.
"Uncle Seven, you go back, my strength is not big, I can't throw it too far, and I don't know how strong this power is."
After Li Yue finished speaking, everyone stepped back, and at this time, the grenade also flew out in his hand.
This flight flew ten feet away, and after a few breaths, no movement was heard, and everyone was a little suspicious.
But just when everyone thought that what Li Yue had made had failed, they felt a powerful fluctuation.
"Bang!"
There was a cracking sound, and two boulders were directly exploded at the place where the grenade was thrown.
The power was so great that the surrounding stones spread out in all directions.
When the loud noise passed, Uncle Seven looked very excited and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Young Master, although this thing is not as powerful as the Heaven-Shaking Thunder Lord, it is not difficult to see that its lethality is very strong, what is it called?"
Uncle Seven looked shocked and asked excitedly.
