Wu Jing knew that this was just a tactic to add fuel to the fire, but she couldn't help but feel powerless in her heart.
It is said that there are tens of thousands of Houjin people on the west side of the city gate! These wolf cubs of Houjin were watching eagerly, but he was unable to mobilize all the defenders.
As for the military camp, there is still no news coming back...
Wu Jing rubbed her forehead as smooth as white jade, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness rise in her heart.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of merchants not far away heading towards the main entrance.
At this moment, he seemed to be having a conversation with the defenders at the city gate.
Strange...Wucheng is currently at war with the Houjin people. How come these merchants who cherish their lives as much as money come to Wucheng?
Could it be that he wanted to make a fortune from the war?
Wu Jing shook her head calmly, but there was a flash of disdain in her eyes.
These merchants really risk their lives for money! There is no shortage of food and grass in Wucheng now, and their trip here will most likely be in vain.
Unless...unless they want to sell food and grass to those Houjin people!
Thinking of this, a deep chill flashed through her eyes.
But at this moment, she saw the defenders suddenly turning around and heading towards the city wall with excitement on their faces.
She was surprised in her heart when she heard a rush of footsteps. Immediately afterwards, the messenger ran over with a happy face.
"City Lord, great, our reinforcements have arrived!"
As soon as these words came out, a look of astonishment flashed in Wu Jing's eyes.
"Reinforcements? Now the entire Youzhou is in the hands of the Houjin people, and there is a rebellion in the capital. How can we have reinforcements?"
"They said they came to assist on the orders of Duke Yang. I have seen their ID cards, and they are indeed spies from the West Factory."
Wu Jing's expression was slightly startled, and Yang Dong's confident smile appeared in her mind involuntarily. But then, a wry smile appeared on her face.
"Mr. Yang is very thoughtful, but there are only a few dozen people in these carriages. How useful can they be if they come here?"
When the messenger heard this, the expression on his face froze slightly. He had just been focused on the joy of seeing the reinforcements, but ignored the most basic problem.
Yes, with such a small number of people, what's the difference between coming here and dying?
But then, he remembered the secret weapon mentioned by these West Factory spies. So he said with some uncertainty:
"City Lord, they said they sent a batch of secret weapons. According to Mr. Yang, if these secret weapons are used properly, they can even turn the tide of the war!"
"Is this true?"
Wu Jing's eyes brightened slightly. She had only met Yang Dong a month ago. Naturally, she had a good impression of the handsome man who was extremely confident from beginning to end.
It's just...how many things can be brought in just a few carriages?
Even if it is a weapon that can cut iron like mud, you can only carry a few hundred at most, which is still a drop in the bucket for the entire battlefield.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in green clothing passing by in her peripheral vision.
The next moment, her pupils dilated slightly.
"Old housekeeper, why are you here?"
The old housekeeper bowed respectfully to Wu Jing, and then continued:
"City Lord, the granary beneath our City Lord's Mansion has suffered a fierce attack from the Houjin people, and I'm afraid it may not be able to hold on any longer."
"The matter of the granary is related to the safety of the people of the entire Wucheng. Please ask the city lord to send someone over to eliminate the gold thieves!"
When Wu Jing heard this, she couldn't help but feel dumb again. Soldiers are needed everywhere, but the soldiers in my hands are all stretched thin.
A look of hesitation flashed across her cheeks. After a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"In this case, the city lord will send a team of people and hand over the spies aided by Xichang to your command."
"Remember, the granary can't be defended, but people must come back alive!"
When the old housekeeper heard this, a look of determination burst out in his eyes. In fact, he knew very well that the people coming from Hou Jin were far more than that.
But having stayed in the Wu family for so many years, he naturally understood Wu Jing's concerns.
After sighing slightly, he said seriously:
"Don't worry, City Lord, we will protect the granary at all costs!"
Wu Jing nodded slightly and pointed to the carriageway under the city wall:
"The next action will be troublesome for the housekeeper."
"No trouble!"
The old butler still looked calm, but then, he actually tapped his toes, jumped up, and jumped off the city wall!
If I had known, the highest point of these city walls would even exceed two feet! Even if you jump from the lowest point, the height is more than ten feet.
But the old housekeeper is still so old that he can still rise upright. This shows that his strength is absolutely extraordinary!
"Are these friends from the West Factory? I am the housekeeper of the city lord's palace. The war in Wucheng is tense now. The city lord must sit in the army. Please bear with me!"
"Uncle, what are you talking about? We came to Wucheng to help, so there is no need to go to such trouble. It's just... we brought some secret weapons, please use them rationally."
Immediately afterwards, the Xichang secret agent explained the power of the artillery and precautions.
The old housekeeper was a little confused when he heard it, but the words he just said attracted him.
Those are these secret weapons that can even seriously injure a master in the martial arts realm.
He suddenly thought that those who were wreaking havoc in the granary now were not the masters of the post-finance industry!
If these West Factory spies hadn't been bragging, it seemed that the siege of the granary would be solved soon!
However, he was still a little worried, so he asked:
"May I ask if the power of this big firecracker is exaggerated?"
Several West Factory spies looked at each other, and they all saw a bit of amusement in each other's eyes.
"Whether it works or not, sir, you will know once you try it."
…
When the old housekeeper and the West Factory spies hurried to the city lord's mansion, the battle was coming to an end.
According to the words of the elite soldiers who had withdrawn, Ye Qiu had the idea of sacrifice himself to save them.
One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it.
The old housekeeper frowned, shouted: "Nonsense", and immediately began to make arrangements nervously.
He first used his energy and blood to find Ye Qiu's location. At the same time, I was praying silently in my heart.
Ye Qiu is not only a good young man, but also has a chivalrous heart.
If he can survive, he can cultivate himself well.
Little guy, you have to hold on!
While praying silently in his heart, he tried his best to mobilize the power of qi and blood in his body.
Finally, he found Ye Qiu's location. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt two powerful qi and blood forces appearing in front of Ye Qiu.
"No, we have to find a way to save this kid!"
