Chapter 299: Insignificant Person
“So fast!”
As soon as Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, Geng Jiang's men arrived outside the Summer Resort, without giving them any chance to react.
"What now?"
When Zhou Yunhai looked around to find a way to escape, Zhou Yunshu asked Wang Jiu, "How many people are there in the group? Do you have weapons? Do you have bows and arrows?"
She didn't want her own people to be in chaos before she could figure out the other party's background.
As long as they don't open the door, it won't be easy for Geng Jiang and others to rush in through the door.
The gate and walls of the Summer Resort are high and thick. The road in front of the gate is a slope, and there are many stones piled up behind the gate and walls of the Summer Resort. If you really throw stones down from the wall, the people outside the gate will not have enough arrows to hit them and will only be beaten and roll down.
"A rough estimate is that there are about fifty people, most of them are carrying long swords, and there are four or five people holding bows and arrows."
This really sounds like a fight.
After Wang Jiu finished speaking, Zhou Yunhai, who had already sent someone to call Ali, A Fei and others, said to Zhou Yunshu: "There is a small path over to the north kitchen that can lead to leaving the Summer Resort. We can retreat from there."
Since he knew that the person in front of him was his relative, Zhou Yunhai would not just care about his own people's escape.
But it was obvious that Zhou Yunshu had no intention of leaving.
"We're not leaving."
"master!"
"Why!"
Wang Jiu and Zhou Yunhai were puzzled at the same time.
"If they hadn't arrived at the foot of the Summer Resort, we would have left, but they are already outside the gate."
Zhou Yunhai felt that his eyebrows had not relaxed since he met Zhou Yunshu. "Do you want to confront them head-on?"
In fact, they have a great chance of winning in a head-on fight by relying on the terrain, of course, the premise is that they don't have many reinforcements.
But obviously not, the Summer Resort is just outside Nanchuan City.
"no."
You can't fight head-on, and you can't run away.
The worst scenario would be if they were ambushed by Geng Jiang's men lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain and those who rushed into the resort as soon as they left the resort.
"Then what do you want to do? Geng Jiang is no more kind than the pirates on Granite Island. Even if your men are capable of fighting, the end result will still be a loss for both sides."
"I didn't want to fight them."
At this time, Wu Gui, Kang Jingyu and others were also called over by Yan Shilei. Zhou Yunshu waved to them and then said to Wang Jiu beside her, "Tell Geng Jiang outside the door that there is a distinguished guest at the manor. He is the brother-in-law of the Prince of Huainan. We specially invite Master Geng to come in for a chat."
Wang Jiu thought about what Zhou Yunshu had done at Magnolia Lake before, took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
"Tell them to calm down. After they come in, bring Geng Jiang and his group to Mingxin Lake."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, she looked at Wang Jiu seriously and said, "Don't show your weakness, otherwise I will let Third Uncle teach you a lesson after this is over."
Although Wang Jiu felt a little weak after hearing this, it also gave them some confidence.
Because Zhou Yunshu said this, she must have felt that today's hurdle could be overcome, so she talked about what would happen next.
As Wang Jiu ran towards the entrance of the Summer Resort, Zhou Yunshu said to Zhou Yunhai beside him, "If you want to leave, leave quickly, but I have something to advise you."
"Leave the food and weapons to me intact. I'm not leaving them here to clean up after you. You can't get far with so much stuff."
When Zhou Yunhai hesitated, Ali came to his side anxiously, holding her belly, "They said something happened, shouldn't we run away?"
As for what Zhou Yunshu said about food and weapons not being able to be taken away, Ali pretended not to hear it.
Whoever grabs these things is the one with the most ability. They are just chance acquaintances. Even if Zhou Yunhai is their relative, they are not the ones on Songshan Island.
They were still waiting to bring these things back to the island to fill the granaries and equip the fleet.
"Let's go." Ali pulled Zhou Yunhai's arm, avoiding Zhou Yunshu's sight and whispered, "Everything is ready."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ali with a smile. To be honest, she didn't have much like or dislike for this "sister-in-law" who suddenly appeared. After all, when she married Zhou Yunhai, she didn't know that Zhou Yunhai had a family.
But people with different beliefs cannot work together. If she wants these people to be scapegoats for her and the people of Songshan Island, that is impossible.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Zhou Yunhai. Under Zhou Yunshu's gaze and Ali's repeated urging, Zhou Yunhai looked at the silent Wu Gui opposite him and said, "We won't leave."
"Ahai!" Perhaps because she heard the unexpected answer, Ali's voice became a little sharper.
Zhou Yunhai turned around and comforted Ali, "We can't be sure if there are any people from Gengjiang down the mountain. Besides, you're pregnant and can't withstand the bumpy ride."
Ali's anxious expression eased after hearing Zhou Yunhai's last words, "I, but I'm ready..."
"Just listen to him and put the food and weapons back intact."
"But we found them!" Ali didn't want to return them.
They had finally gained the trust of the manager of the summer resort and caught them all in one fell swoop. Seeing that everything would belong to them, how could she be willing to give up the cooked duck?
Absolutely not.
Zhou Yunhai touched Ali's hair and said, "Returning alive is more important than anything else."
Moreover, he didn't think that the person in front of him, who claimed to be his relative, would be willing to hand over the food and weapons in the Summer Resort to Geng Jiang.
As long as he could stay, he would definitely be able to get a share of the food and weapons in the Summer Resort.
This is better than getting nothing.
"Ahai." Ali looked at Zhou Yunhai eagerly. Is there no other way?
Other plans that could save their lives and bring all the food and weapons back to Songshan Island safely.
"Be obedient." This time Zhou Yunhai raised his voice.
"Sister." A Rong stepped forward and grabbed Ali's arm, "We will listen to our brother-in-law."
Ali didn't say anything. Zhou Yunhai said to Arong, "Take your sister back. If the situation here really gets out of control, I'll send you a message. Then you can take your sister and leave immediately."
"I won't leave!"
Ali broke free from her brother's arms and said to Zhou Yunhai with a look of grievance and determination on her face: "I want to be with you! Even if we die, our family must die together!"
Zhou Yunshu turned her head: "..."
Zhou Yunhai looked at Ali and sighed, "Okay."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the affectionate look on their faces and subconsciously glanced at Wu Gui.
Seeing Wu Gui's expression was calm and composed, he sighed softly and said to Zhou Yunhai, "Geng Jiang will be here soon. We need to make arrangements quickly."
"It's better for non-essential people to evacuate this area first."
Well, Zhou Yunshu’s words are quite representative.
After hearing what Zhou Yunshu said, Ali looked at her with an unhappy expression and said, "Am I the one you're talking about who's irrelevant?"
