Chapter 344 Overnight Inn
After thinking for a while, Xu Zhengyong said: "In addition to me, Lord Wei, Lord Zheng, His Highness the Seventh Highness, and the two adults in charge of the granary, there may be a few other assistants around the adults. It is difficult for me to tell the specifics. I have to go back. Just ask."
Those who know the truth say that there is no more, and that there is no less.
Because this matter is not considered a secret in the military camp, no secrecy measures have been taken, and it is impossible to determine where the news will leak out.
Wei Ruo thought for a moment and then said: "First bandage and treat the wounds of the wounded, and reorganize the team. We will discuss other matters later."
Xu Zhengyong nodded.
Fortunately, this time the attack ended quickly. There were no deaths among Wei Ruo's people and those brought by Xu Zhengyong, but eleven people were injured.
Four of them are long-term workers in Zhuangzi who follow Wei Ruo to deliver food, and seven are Xu Zhengyong's subordinates.
Wei Ruo asked Xu Zhengyong, Xiumei, and Xiaobei to treat the wounds of the eleven wounded, and bandage them with medicine. Wei Ruo specially brought the wound medicine, which Xu Zhengyong originally planned to take to the barracks, but it just happened to be used now. up.
Wei Ruo himself and Wei Jinyi went to the **** of the ambush to check the situation in person.
Because of the power of the bomb, the death of those ambushing personnel was a bit miserable.
Wei Ruo frowned, and Wei Jin also keenly sensed her discomfort, and said, "If you don't feel comfortable watching it, don't watch it."
Wei Ruo shook his head: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable when I see the horrific state of the corpse. No corpse can scare me. It's just that I'm not used to someone 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. The one I'm soft-hearted to death is me. So you don't have to worry about me, second brother. I'll get used to it a little bit." Just a moment."
Wei Ruo has some sensibility, but in the end, reason dominates.
Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo, his eyes flickered, as if something in his heart was touched.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also inspected around. Apart from the slaves used by these ambushers, they also found that these people had more or less old wounds on their bodies. The wounds seemed to be suffered on the battlefield. The shape of the knife wound is very similar to that caused by the samurai sword unique to Japanese pirates.
In this way, it further confirmed Wei Ruo's previous conjecture that these ambushing people were probably members of the Anti-Japanese Army.
After coming down from the mountain, Wei Ruo arranged for her people to set off and 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 being amplified by the special environment of this small intestine path, it may be heard even from a long distance.
If the barracks heard this voice, they should send someone here to check.
Wei Ruo didn't want to deal with the people in the barracks for the time being. He came to deliver the food today because he planned to mix in with the team and deliver the food to the barracks gate before turning back.
So he planned to leave first and leave the rest to Xu Zhengyong.
Before leaving, Wei Ruo and Xu Zhengyong briefly explained the words to the barracks for a while. She probably guessed that after the people from the military camp came, they should ask about the bomb.
Not long after Wei Ruo and others evacuated, Chu Lan rushed to the scene of the incident with his people.
Wreckage and corpses of the conflict still remain at the scene.
The most astonishing thing among them was the corpses of those who ambush, whose tragic situation 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 happened just now.
"It's a very special weapon. I don't know it for the time being. I was busy taking people up the mountain to make a surprise attack. I didn't see what it looked like. I only vaguely saw something throwing it towards the hillsides on both sides, and then there was a loud noise. The sound, when you realize it again, the ambushers on the mountain will already look like this." Xu Zhengyong replied.
"Where did that thing come from?" Chu Lan asked again.
"My cousin bought it from a ship merchant. I wanted to transport it to the barracks this time. I wanted to let the adults see if it can be used on the battlefield. But it just happened to happen. Use it directly." Xu Zhengyong explained.
After listening to Xu Zhengyong's description, Chu Lan was silent for a long time, and then asked: "How much is there now? I want to see that thing."
"They are all used up." Xu Zhengyong replied.
Actually there are some leftovers, but when Wei Ruo left just now, he took all the rest with him.
"Is there any way to get it later?"
"I don't know about this either. It depends on luck. If you can still buy it." Xu Zhengyong replied.
Hearing such an answer, Chu Lan couldn't help flashing a bit of disappointment on his face, but he still told Xu Zhengyong: "You ask your cousin to ask carefully. If there is any, be sure to send it to the military camp."
"The subordinate takes orders."

Because of the delay, I couldn't return to Fucheng before dark.
In addition, someone in the team was injured, so Wei Ruo decided to find an inn in the county seat of Xianju County to rest for the night, and return to Fucheng tomorrow morning.
Because it is a county close to the battlefield, the business of the inn is very deserted, so people like Wei Ruo stayed here tonight.
The small inn was also very lively because of the arrival of Wei Ruo and his party.
Dinner was simple, and then Wei Ruo asked everyone to go back to the room to recuperate.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also live in the two innermost rooms on the second floor.
In the evening, Wei Ruo knocked on Wei Jinyi's door.
Through the shadow reflected on the door, Wei Ruo saw that Wei Jinyi was right in front of the door, but he didn't open the door right away, thinking about something.
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 wore during the day, looking spotless, and he couldn't tell that there was a fierce fight with anyone today.
It's because his martial arts are too high, even if he protects her, he didn't let the villain get hurt at all.
Wei Ruo looked down at Wei Jinyi's shoes, which were covered with a lot of dirt, and then asked, "How are your feet?"
"It's okay." Wei Jinyi replied for the third time.
"Let me take a look." Wei Ruo felt that Wei Jinyi would say he 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've seen a lot of feet. In the past, in the countryside, everyone transplanted rice seedlings in the fields with bare feet. No matter men, women or children, there is no such taboo." Wei Ruo said.
"Ruo'er, I didn't hurt my foot. I used martial arts and ingenuity. I didn't use my bones to go head-to-head with the thing you made." Wei Jin also explained.
