Chapter 344 Overnight Inn Xu
Zhengyong thought for a while and then said: "In addition to me, there are Lord Wei, Lord Zheng, His Majesty the Seventh Prince, and the two adults in charge of the granary. The rest may be a few deputies around the adults. Specifically, I It's hard to tell clearly. You have to go back and ask to find out."
People with knowledge of the matter say it's more or less, and they say it's less.
Because this matter was not considered a secret in the military camp, no confidentiality measures were taken, and it was impossible to determine where the news would have leaked.
Wei Ruo thought for a moment and then said: "First bandage and treat the wounds of the wounded and organize the team. We will discuss other matters later."
Xu Zhengyong nodded.
Fortunately, this attack ended quickly. None of Wei Ruo's men and those brought by Xu Zhengyong were killed, but eleven people were injured.
Four of them were long-term workers at Zhuangzi who followed Wei Ruo to deliver grain, and seven were Xu Zhengyong's subordinates.
Wei Ruo asked Xu Zhengyong, Xiumei, and Xiaobei to treat the wounds of the eleven wounded people and apply medicine and bandages on them. Wei Ruo brought the medicine specially. He originally planned to let Xu Zhengyong take it to the military camp, but it happened to be needed at this time. .
Wei Ruo himself and Wei Jinyi went to the hillside where the ambush was located to personally inspect the situation.
Because of the power of the bomb, the death of those in the ambush was a bit tragic.
Wei Ruo frowned, and Wei Jin was keenly aware of her discomfort and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't watch it." Wei Ruo shook his head: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable after seeing the tragic state of the corpse
. Corpses don't scare me, but I'm still not used to people dying because of me."
After a pause, Wei Ruo added: "But I don't regret it at all. I can't be soft-hearted to those who want to kill me. , I am the one who is so soft-hearted. So second brother, you don’t have to worry about me, I will just get used to it a little bit."
Wei Ruo has some emotional aspects, but in the end, reason takes the dominant position.
Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo with his eyes flickering, as if something in his heart was touched.
After Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also inspected the circle, in addition to the weapons used by the ambushers, they also discovered that these people had more or less old wounds. It looked like the wounds were suffered on the battlefield, among which The shape of the knife wound is very similar to that caused by a samurai sword unique to Japanese pirates.
In this way, it further confirmed Wei Ruo's and the others' previous conjecture that these ambushers were probably members of the anti-Japanese army.
After coming down from the mountain, Wei Ruo arranged for her people to return, leaving only Xu Zhengyong and the army at the scene.
Because the sound caused by the explosion just now was very loud, especially after it was amplified by the special environment of the intestinal trail, it could be heard even from a long distance away.
If the military camp heard this sound, they would probably send someone here to check.
Wei Ruo didn't want to deal directly with the people in the military camp for the time being. He came to deliver food today with the intention of just blending in with the team and delivering the food to the gate of the military camp and then turning back.
Therefore, he planned to leave first and leave the rest to Xu Zhengyong to complete.
Before leaving, Wei Ruo and Xu Zhengyong briefly explained the techniques they would explain to the military camp later. She probably guessed that when people from the military camp arrived, they would ask about the bomb.
Not long after Wei Ruo and others evacuated, Chu Lan led people to the scene of the incident.
Debris and bodies from the conflict were still left at the scene.
The most surprising thing among them was the corpses of the ambushes. Their tragic condition was beyond the reach of any weapon they had seen before.
Chu Lan asked Xu Zhengyong what happened, and Xu Zhengyong reported in detail what had just been attacked.
"Then what caused the ambushers on the hillsides on both sides to be so injured?" Chu Lan asked.
"It's a very special weapon. I don't know it yet. I was busy leading people up the mountain for a raid and didn't see the appearance of the thing clearly. I only vaguely saw something throwing towards the hillsides on both sides, and then there was a very loud sound. "When I reacted to the sound, the ambushers on the mountain were already like this." Xu Zhengyong replied. "Where did that thing come from?" Chu Lan asked again.
"My cousin bought it from a shipping dealer. I wanted to transport it to the military camp together this time. I wanted you to see if it could be used on the battlefield. But this happened to me. It was used directly." Xu Zhengyong explained.
After listening to Xu Zhengyong's description, Chu Lan was silent for a long time, and then asked: "How many are there now? I want to see that thing." "They are
all used up." Xu Zhengyong replied.
There was actually some left, but Wei Ruo took all the rest away when he left just now.
"Is there any way to get it again in the future?"
"I don't know about this. It depends on luck. If I can still buy it, it will be fine." Xu Zhengyong answered.
Hearing such an answer, a look of disappointment flashed across Chu Lan's face, but she still told Xu Zhengyong: "Ask my cousin to ask carefully. If there is any, be sure to send it to the military camp.
" I take my orders."
###
Because of the delay, we will not be able to return to Fucheng before dark.
In addition, someone in the team was injured, so Wei Ruo decided to find an inn in Xianju County to rest for the night and return to Fucheng early tomorrow morning.
Because it is a county town close to the battlefield, the business of the inn is very deserted, so Wei Ruo and others stayed here tonight.
The small inn also became unusually busy due to the arrival of Wei Ruo and his party.
They simply consumed some dinner, and then Wei Ruo asked everyone to go back to their rooms to recuperate.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also live in the two innermost rooms on the second floor.
At night, Wei Ruo knocked on Wei Jinyi's door.
Through the shadow reflected on the door, Wei Ruo saw that Wei Jin was in front of the door, but he did not open the door immediately, wondering what he was thinking about.
After a while, Wei Jin also opened the door.
Wei Ruo saw that Wei Jinyi was neatly dressed, still wearing the moon-white clothes he had worn during the day. He looked spotless, and there was no trace of the fact that he had had a fierce fight with someone today.
It was true that his martial arts skills were too high, and even though he was protecting her, he didn't get hurt at all.
Wei Ruo lowered his head and looked at Wei Jinyi's shoes, which were stained with a lot of mud and dirt, and then asked, "How is my second brother's feet?" "
It's okay." Wei Jinyi answered for the third time.
"Let me take a look." Wei Ruo felt that Wei Jinyi would say it was fine even if something happened.
Wei Jin also took two steps back with a serious expression: "No." "
Second brother, don't be shy. I have seen a lot of feet. In the past, in the countryside, everyone was barefoot when planting rice in the fields, regardless of men, women, old or young. There is no such taboo." Wei Ruodao.
"Ruo'er, my feet are not injured. I used martial arts and skillful energy. I didn't use my bones to go head-to-head with the thing you made." Wei Jin also explained.
