"...Oh my God!" The villagers could only exclaim in shock.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Bodhisattva, thank you, God..."
"Your Majesty is truly a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering..."
When the villagers who did not go with them heard this, they became furious.
"So, if I join the army before the end of the month, I can get two months' salary?"
"No, I'm going to guard the gate of Menglan City now..."
As they spoke, the young and middle-aged villagers gathered in groups of three or five and headed towards Menglan City in the dark.
Boss Pei and others did not try to keep these people.
If you put yourself in their shoes, if they got such news, they would definitely not be able to stay at home.
It’s freezing cold, and it’s freezing at home. Let’s hurry to the gate of Menglan City and wait there.
At least in the morning, I can still drink porridge and warm myself up in the soup kitchen.
In the blink of an eye, half of the people gathered at the village entrance had disappeared.
From 50 years old to 10 years old, all those who could walk flocked to Menglan City.
Before long, the long-lost aroma of meat and rice wafted over Waibo Village.
The fragrance attracted villagers from several nearby villages, who all couldn't help but come over to inquire about the news.
If there was only the aroma of meat, they might suspect that someone was eating their own children.
But there is still such a strong aroma of rice, which is not the taste that can be cooked from human flesh.
The villagers of Waibo Village did not hide anything and immediately told everyone about the situation in Menglan City.
As the news spread, it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, people from all the nearby villages set out overnight and rushed towards Menglan City.
.......
"boom!"
Guard Ji Guangda widened his eyes, ran quickly to the explosion site, and stared blankly at the smoking deep pit in front of him.
"Oh my god, this... this is going to blow people to pieces."
Ji Guangda stared at the deep pit, glanced at the small grenade in his hand, and his hand trembled unconsciously twice.
He had to be careful. If it exploded in his hand, this time next year would be his death anniversary.
When the generals heard Ji Guangda's sigh, they all ran over curiously.
Geng Tao, "My god, this little thing is so powerful."
Zong Wei said, "Tsk, no wonder the prince must find someone very reliable. If this thing falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it will be disastrous."
He Feng, "That's not good. How about reducing the number of people? I'm really worried."
Xu Kailiang, "That's right, that's right. Just being tight-lipped isn't enough. You need to be flexible. If your hands and feet aren't coordinated and flexible, and you don't throw it away, won't you be harming yourself?"
The thought of someone not throwing it in time and a grenade exploding among a group of grenade throwers would be the end of it.
Everyone is holding grenades in their hands, so they will explode one after another.
Oh my god, he couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of that scene.
Xu Kailiang nodded, "Yes, we have to choose carefully. Such a powerful weapon requires some cleverness."
At this time, the 800 soldiers 200 meters away from here all stretched their necks and looked at the explosion site curiously.
They watched helplessly as the prince casually threw something forward, and heard a loud "bang", and the ground shook a few times.
If they hadn't seen the prince throw something out with their own eyes, they would have thought there was an earthquake.
They were very curious about how such a small thing could have such a great power when thrown.
Shen Yong walked over slowly with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Your Highness!" Ji Guangda and the generals looked at Shen Yong excitedly.
Chen Yong nodded, glanced at the deep pit, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tsk, so-so..."
He didn't buy any particularly powerful grenades, but rather the old-fashioned ones from the past three or four decades.
Such power was more than enough in ancient times when there were no hot weapons.
Ji Guangda, “….”
Admirals, "......."
What kind of words are you talking about? !
The crater created by a palm-sized grenade is big enough to fit a coffin, and you still call that sloppy!?
Could it be that...the prince has seen more powerful weapons?
Ji Guangda's eyes rolled and he moved to Shen Yong's side.
"Your Majesty, what does the more powerful grenade look like? Let us see it."
As soon as Ji Guangda said this, the eyes of the generals surrounding the deep pit lit up, and they all looked at Shen Yong.
Shen Yong glanced at Ji Guangda with a faint smile.
"You can become fat in one bite."
"It's enough to be proficient in using grenades."
Shen Yong glanced at the generals.
"Time is tight. I'll only give you one day to practice. The army will set out for the capital tomorrow morning."
"I've left you 1,000 grenades. Each of you must practice with them at least once."
"As for how many people to keep, it's up to you."
When Ji Guangda and the others heard this, their expressions suddenly became serious.
"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured. I will ensure that I master it today."
Time is running out and the number of grenades is limited, so the number of people must be reduced to 400.
This way each person can practice twice.
They can demonstrate it many times, first showing it to everyone, and then letting the soldiers try it themselves after seeing that they have memorized the steps and can demonstrate them fluently.
On this day, there was a constant "boom boom boom" sound in the corner of the military camp at the foot of the mountain.
The successive explosions shook the ground of Menglan City.
If the people of Menglan City didn't know that the prince was leading people to practice with new weapons, they would have thought there was an earthquake.
The people who had been gathered at the gate of Menglan City all night heard a rumbling sound as soon as they stepped into the city, and they were all frightened and their faces turned pale.
When the soup kitchen started cooking hot porridge, the fear in their hearts disappeared instantly.
What the people in Waibo Village said was true. What news could make them more excited than this?
........
Beijing....
The Imperial Palace...
"Your Majesty..." Yi Zhengjin knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Tianwu, lowering his head in shame.
"I am incompetent and have failed to find the Shen family."
"I have received news that the Shen family is on the Crooked Neck Mountain in Crooked Neck Village. But I can bring people..."
"Of course you can't find it." Emperor Tianwu raised his eyelids and glanced at Yi Zhengjin, then put down the memorial in his hand with a dark face.
Everyone has run to Fire Extinguishing City, how is it possible to find them near Menglan City?
I have to say that the Shen family is quite capable. They were able to reach Fire Extinguishing City in such a short time.
He was able to fool so many people in Fire Extinguishing City and gain a firm foothold in Fire Extinguishing City.
He was rather curious about what benefits Shen Yong had given to those people in Fire Extinguishing City.
His ministers actually dared to follow Chen Yong, risking the crime of extermination of their entire clan.
