Chapter 285: Pluck the Feathers from a Passing Goose
Although Zhou Yunshu had guessed that Prince Ji Mingyun of Huainan would transfer some military equipment and supplies to Magnolia Lake, she did not know their specific location.
Now that's good, they got Manager Huang drunk and found the secret warehouse where the weapons and supplies were hidden.
Zhou Yunshu had completely lied to Manager Huang when she told him that she would stay here for two or three days. The longer she stayed, the greater the chance of being exposed, and she was not that careless.
The defense here at Magnolia Lake is really not that good.
I don’t know if it’s because they rely on the remoteness of the place and the title of King of Huainan, but their defense is not as good as Heishuizhai’s.
The construction of the entire courtyard on the Magnolia Lake side, including the construction of the secret vault, was managed by Manager Huang.
Zhou Yunshu got Manager Huang and the others drunk, and the entire Magnolia Lake was instantly left without a manager.
However, Zhou Yunshu did not go to the secret warehouse where weapons and supplies were hidden immediately. Instead, she called someone and asked him to call Jing Gao, Chun Que and others.
When Jing Gao and Chun Que arrived, they brought a large group of people with them. A rough count showed that there were more than 300 people, all men.
Zhou Yunshu glanced at Wang Jiu and saw him standing among the group of young men in ragged clothes. She knew that most of the people in that group should be from her own village.
They were all very excited to see Wang Jiu, but because Jing Gao and others were around, they didn't make any loud noises.
"Master, do you have any instructions?"
Jing Gao was a little confused now, because when that person came to call them, he thought that only he and Meng Bei and a few others were coming, but in the end it turned out that everyone followed them.
He scolded them, but those people ignored him and just lowered their heads to follow Meng Bei and the guy called Wang Jiu, and then more and more people came.
At the beginning, the people from Mengbei were shouting, but in the end, they didn't need to shout anymore. Seeing so many people going in one direction, they all followed the team.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the confused Jing Gao and said with a smile, "Yes, there are some."
"Wang Jiu."
When Wang Jiu heard the voice of his master and stood up, all the young and strong men in Fujia Village, which is now Jinguo Village, followed suit.
The other long-term and short-term workers who were building the courtyard looked at the villagers of Jinguo Village who had stepped forward, wondering whether they should also stand over. In the end, almost all the long-term and short-term workers who were building the courtyard stood behind Wang Jiu.
Well... this was something Zhou Yunshu had not expected.
But it's okay.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the twenty or so guards left alone, led by Jing Gao, and gave a kind smile.
"Jinggao~"
Jing Gao looked at Zhou Yunshu with a smile on her face. He didn't know why, but even though summer was about to begin, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing and his body was filled with chills.
"Master..." Jing Gao said in a trembling voice.
Something is wrong, something is really wrong!
Where is Manager Huang?
What about those lackeys around Manager Huang?
Why did these people gradually surround them?
"Do you think you are a person who knows the times?" Zhou Yunshu looked at Jing Gao and smiled.
Jing Gao felt like crying when he saw the knife suddenly placed on his neck. He looked at Zhou Yunshu and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I know what's happening."
He had felt something was wrong a long time ago.
Zhou Yunshu stood up and said, "Yulan Lake is a great location."
With its back against the foot of the cliff and a lake in front, even if a fire breaks out, it will not endanger the surrounding area as long as the surrounding weeds and shrubs are properly dealt with.
"Jinggao~"
"Master, your orders."
Jing Gao is as obedient as he can be now. He is afraid that if he doesn't know the situation, the knife on his neck will cut off his neck.
"I'll give you a job."
"You say."
"Take your brothers and hoe all the grass on both sides of the courtyard. Of course, it's not just you."
When Zhou Yunshu said this, she looked at Wan Yi and said, "You take fifty people with them."
Wan Yi nodded, "Okay, Master."
"Wang Jiu." Zhou Yunshu's gaze turned again.
"master."
"Find twenty of our men, and another thirty to accompany Wan Yi."
"Yes, Master."
Zhou Yunshu walked over to Jing Gao with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job. I'm rooting for you."
"When you're done, there will be benefits waiting for you."
"Thank you, sir." He had no other choice.
After saying this, Jing Gao looked at the farmhands who surrounded them, not knowing whether he should cry for his situation or laugh for the benefits that were about to come.
After Jing Gao and the others were taken away by Wan Yi and the others, Zhou Yunshu said with a smile, "Divide into three teams and stand in position."
The farmhands were now also very confused. They didn't know the origin of this man in front of them and why the patrolmen just listened to whatever he said.
However, they were already used to receiving orders, so when Zhou Yunshu said so, they immediately took sides.
This time, the people from Jinguo Village finally stood together. Some people who were not from their village stood over, but under Wang Jiu's gaze, they drove those people to other teams.
These people didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was human nature to want to stand with one's own people. These people in Jinguozhuang were used to sticking together and it was normal for them not to be willing to be with them.
After the teams were divided, Zhou Yunshu had a general understanding of her own people.
"Spring Sparrow, Mengbei."
"Here!" they said in unison.
"Each of you will lead a team to move the food."
"yes!"
"Wang Jiu."
"exist!"
"You take your people and follow me."
"yes!"
Zhou Yunshu had already told Chunque and Mengbei about the two secret warehouses where grain was stored in the courtyard. With the guidance of the farmhands who built the courtyard here, they quickly found the location of the secret warehouses.
Zhou Yunshu was even easier.
The people behind Wang Jiu were all her people. After leaving the courtyard of the Prince of Huainan, Zhou Yunshu, led by Wang Jiu and Li Danier's husband, walked towards the west side of Magnolia Lake.
Manager Huang is quite good at hiding things.
There are two rows of livestock sheds on the west side of Magnolia Lake, and the weapons are hidden under these livestock sheds.
"Master! Here!"
Li Danier's husband Wu Hai shouted to Zhou Yunshu in surprise.
The secret vault was opened. After Wu Hai and Wang Jiu went down and found that there was no danger, Zhou Yunshu walked into the secret vault under the protection of Chu San.
The area of the secret vault is three or four times larger than that of an ordinary cellar. Zhou Yunshu stood below and counted, and found that the armaments here were enough for almost 500 people.
Although it is not much, it cannot be said to be little either.
It's still very intimidating when it's really equipped.
Wu Hai, along with three young men from the farm, carried the weapons from the secret warehouse upstairs one after another, and Wang Jiu, along with the people from the farm, received them from above.
No one asked Zhou Yunshu why she did this. Anyway, they just had to do what their master asked them to do.
Zhou Yunshu was a person who would pluck feathers from a passing goose. Since she had found a reason to destroy the courtyard built for the Prince of Huainan, she didn't think of leaving anything for Ji Mingyun.
Anyway, they are all relatives, so if it comes down to it, Zhou Yunshu should call him uncle.
So, Zhou Yunshu treated it as a small gift from the elders to the younger ones, and she felt no burden at all carrying it.
