Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 94 The Lion Ridge Ambush

Since they were robbed by bandits and all their valuables were taken away, they have never eaten eggs on the road. Although they were rich before, things are different now.

"The fourth son is really interested, and he even gave me a pearl flower." Wu Yushuang said shyly.

Only then did Mrs. Wu discover that there was a red bead flower on her daughter's head. "As a man, if he has pearl flowers, he might have bought them a long time ago. I would like to take this opportunity to give them to you!"

Wu Yushuang blushed even more, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Zhou Yue tried on the clothes, and they fit quite well, much better than Zhou Ming's clothes, so she didn't change them, and just put them on.

Qian Guilan saw Zhou Yue coming over wearing new clothes, thinking she bought them in the county town, "Yueyue bought some clothes? They look pretty good."

"Yes, he looks like a noble man." Zhou Lin said.

Zhou Yue shook her head, "The lady from the Wu family made this for me, doesn't it look good? I don't have to just wear third brother's clothes."

"Then Miss Wu made you clothes again? Didn't she just make shoes for you a few days ago?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Maybe it's because my third brother's clothes don't fit me well. Third brother's clothes are a bit fat." Zhou Yue guessed.

Several people nodded, "Miss Wu's craftsmanship is quite good." Zhou Ming sighed.

Qian Guilan was thinking about making clothes for Zhou Yue. Her daughter was now dressed as a man and there were indeed fewer clothes.

"Miss, it's bad!" The servant girl Chun'er's voice came from outside.

"Ouch!" Fang Yao suddenly pricked her hand with a needle while she was sewing a shoe.

Looking at Chun'er who came in, Fang Yao glared at her, "What are you shouting about! You're in such a panic, how decent!"

Chun'er looked anxious, "Oh miss, I saw Miss Wu gave the Fourth Young Master clothes again. The Second Miss Wu came out of the Fourth Young Master's yard, carrying a wooden basket and an extra one on her head. The red beaded flower must have been given by the Fourth Young Master!"

"What! Another piece of clothing was sent! My shoes are not finished yet!" Fang Yao looked at the half-made shoes in her hand, what happened to Wu Yushuang, she actually finished another piece of clothing.

"Miss, you have to work harder. I think Miss Wu Er was very happy when she came out." Chun'er encouraged her from the side.

Fang Yao regrets endlessly. Why didn't she learn to be a female celebrity back then? As a result, she is falling behind every step of the way.

"Okay, I understand, go down!" Fang Yao said.

After Chun'er walked out of the room, Fang Yao looked at the shoes in her hand in a daze, "He actually gave Yu Shuang a pearl flower..."

After dinner, Zhou Yue went to the county drugstore to buy some saltpeter and came back with Wang Zheng, Lin Shangwu and the three Zhou brothers to make smoke bombs.

Zhou Yue took out some sugar and baking soda from the space, and then ground the chili into powder.

Zhou Yue instructed Wang Zheng to grind the saltpeter into powder, then pour it into a large basin according to the ratio of three parts saltpeter to two parts sugar, and stir evenly.

Then add baking soda and chili powder, put the powder into small boxes one by one, Zhou Yue cut out a piece of cotton thread, soaked it in oil and stuffed it inside, exposing a section of lead wire, the smoke bomb is ready.

"Okay, let's ambush on the hillside tomorrow. When they pass by, light this thread and throw it down. I'll give each of you a protective suit and wear a mask, so you won't be afraid of choking." Zhou Yue Said.

Several people nodded. Although they had never seen the power of this thing, it must be a good thing for the fourth young master to be so confident.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yue led the team to set off. They needed to ambush at Shiziling early.

At the foot of Shiziling, Zhou Yue arranged for Zhou Jiacheng to lead the villagers to continue walking, and the wolf army stayed in ambush.

"Yueyue, let Zhou Lin and the others follow you!" Zhou Jiacheng was worried and suggested that Zhou Lin and the others should be left behind.

"Yes, we stay and help save people." Zhou Lin said, their current martial arts are not weak, which can be regarded as a help.

Zhou Yue thought for a while, most of the people in the village would punch and kick, self-protection is not a problem, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, pay attention to your safety on the road, we will catch up with you."

Zhou Jiacheng nodded, "Okay, we'll wait for you in front."

Zhou Yue took out the protective clothing from the bullock cart and distributed it to the wolf army and taught them how to wear it.

As soon as they put on the white protective clothing, everyone felt very strange. Why did the Fourth Young Master have so many strange clothes?

Wang Zheng was curious about Zhou Yue's oxcart. It stands to reason that they had consumed a lot of grain in the past few days, but there was still food in the Zhou family's grain cart, and it seemed that they couldn't finish it.

There are also these strange clothes, as if they appeared suddenly.

Seeing Wang Zheng's expression, Zhou Yue guessed his doubts, so she took the initiative to explain, "I have a secret guard who is responsible for collecting supplies. Their lightness skills are very superb, and you can't feel it."

Wang Zheng's eyes widened, "Secret guards!" These four young masters actually have their own secret guards. Generally, only members of the royal family or ministers of the court can have secret guards. However, the fourth young master actually has his own secret guards, and he doesn't even notice it. Come on, how high is your martial arts?
"No wonder our food has never run out." Wang Zheng said.

Lin Shangwu also suddenly realized, "How are their martial arts?"

"They don't know martial arts, they only know light kung fu. They can only be used to transport supplies, and they only serve me." Zhou Yue explained.

The two nodded, while the three brothers of the Zhou family remained silent. They knew this was Yueyue's excuse. After all, they had never experienced it and no one believed in gods.

Everyone put on protective clothing and hid behind the hillside, waiting for the guards to arrive.

About two-quarters of an hour later, Zhou Yue saw people and horses coming this way from a distance.

"Be careful, we are coming." Zhou Yue said softly, and everyone around him immediately passed the news one after another, and soon the surroundings became quiet.

"Hurry up, the people behind! Momoji, when will we get to Jidong Island!" The imperial guards in the back took the horsewhip and whipped the servants of the general's mansion who were walking behind.

If these servants had not followed them, they might have arrived at Jidong Island long ago, but they were like fools and insisted on being exiled with the Song family. There was no prison car to ride in, so they could only walk, which slowed down their journey.

There was no cry of pain when the whip was beaten down. The guards were used to it. From the very beginning, none of these people begged for mercy. They just gritted their teeth and didn't say a word when they were beaten.

"Master Xiao, the Lion Ridge is ahead. After passing the Lion Ridge, there is a river. Why don't we rest by the river at noon." The man on horseback in front held a map in his hand and said to the deputy commander next to him.

Xiao Liang said blankly: "Yes."

They have been on the road for more than two months. The weather is getting colder and colder, it gets dark earlier and earlier, and the time they spend on the road every day is getting shorter and shorter.
