"A great war means widespread death and destruction, and the displacement of people. This is something that the Master does not want to see, and I'm sure it's something that none of you here would want to see either!"
Now, let's get to the main topic.
All those in power nodded in agreement: "That's right!"
"The power of that grenade is so terrifying. Once Zhou Cheng takes over Yan Kingdom, disaster will surely follow. I don't believe he doesn't have the ambition to unify the world. At that time, he will definitely cause chaos in the world."
"As the leaders of the eastern forces, we must stop the crisis in the Central Plains, for the sake of the people and the world, and we cannot allow the Zhou family to become the only dominant family!"
"But the problem now is how to stop the Zhou family? Those grenades are so terrifying, we simply can't withstand them."
"yes."
"Instructor Lu, Your Highness, do you two have any ideas?"
There was a lot of discussion in the hall. Whenever the word "solution" was mentioned, everyone looked at Instructor Lu.
This look of trust and reliance gave Professor Lu a sense of vanity.
He enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He took a sip of tea, raised his head, and coldly glanced at Cheng Xianyi, saying, "Since Pavilion Master is so eloquent, why don't you tell us how to counterbalance the Zhou family?"
Cheng Xianyi said calmly, "He's very powerful; I'm no match for him."
That's it?
"That's it."
"Pfft—"
Instructor Lu chuckled, spilling two drops of tea, his tone tinged with contempt: "It seems that Pavilion Master Cheng is all talk and no action. When it comes to real combat, he's nothing."
"You have no solution, but our academy has a brilliant one."
Swish, swish, swish!
Nearly twenty pairs of eyes turned to look at Instructor Lu.
Even the prince of Dongyan Kingdom held his breath nervously, his face filled with a mixture of seriousness and curiosity.
Those who possess grenades can withstand an army of thousands. Under such supposedly invincible power, does the academy really have a way to deal with it?
"Our academy has a school called the Mohist School, which specializes in weapons and concealed weapons. I'm sure everyone here knows about this, right?" Instructor Lu deliberately kept everyone in suspense, raising the academy's prestige.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"There is no hidden weapon that the Mohist disciples cannot crack! Once the grenade falls into the hands of the academy, the Mohist students will definitely be able to figure out the grenade's composition, manufacturing method, and origin."
"Therefore, as long as someone can bring back a grenade, the academy will have a way to break the Zhou family's monopoly on the weapon."
Professor Lu raised his head slightly and uttered the news that made the entire audience gasp.
Those in power present looked at each other in surprise and delight.
yes!
The disciples of the Mo School are so capable; there's nothing in this world they can't figure out! They'll definitely be able to develop a method for manufacturing hand grenades. Then, will we still need to fear the Zhou family?
But the most serious problem now is...
"Instructor Lu, I have great faith in the abilities of the Mo School disciples, but the current situation is... how can we obtain the hand grenade from the Zhou family?"
"Yes, Professor Lu!"
"The secret letter sent back to the east said that the confidants and soldiers selected by the Zhou family were extremely loyal. They were all people who were willing to shed blood for the Zhou family and who stayed by the Zhou family's side through thick and thin during times of crisis."
"We can't find a way to break through these loyal confidants who are determined to follow the Zhou family, not to mention... the Zhou family controls weapons extremely strictly, and outsiders have absolutely no chance to touch them."
"We can't even touch it, let alone bring the grenade back to the academy!"
“............”
Cheng Xianyi, who concealed her true face, listened to these conversations with a slight smile on her lips.
Ah Cheng was indeed prescient, knowing to test the soldiers' loyalty.
He could have revealed his trump card and deadly weapon when Zhou Zhenguang returned to the border, causing the 300,000-strong army to defect to the Zhou family! Even Commander Zhang, who didn't have time to break with the Zhou family, would have turned to the Zhou family.
But he didn't.
He instructed Zhou Zhenguang to conserve his energy, pretending to be facing a desperate situation, and to gradually select his most loyal confidants!
Although only 90,000 Zhou family soldiers remained in the end, these 90,000 became even more loyal under Zhou Cheng's character, forming an impregnable fortress that foreign forces could not break down.
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
The sudden laughter broke Cheng Xianyi's thoughts.
She looked up and saw that Professor Lu had a mysterious look on his face. Then, he raised his hand and clapped mysteriously: "What's so difficult about this?"
"I have one person."
"No reason is needed; simply showing myself will gain the Zhou family's complete trust!!"
"Slap! Slap!"
"Qianyan, come out!"
