Wang Miaoling and Jiang Wanyu were the first to run over and throw themselves into Lü Tu's arms, their eyes filled with tears of joy and sweetness: "Husband, you've been gone for two days, we missed you so much!"
Lu Tu stroked the heads of his two wives: "I missed you too, my dears, there are many people here."
Lu Tu looked at Song Yuxi and Nangong Huiyu from afar, but the two of them did not come over immediately because their bellies were getting bigger.
The other people were also quite moved by the affection between Lü Tu and his wife, and they nodded in approval in secret. Their love for his wife at least showed that Lü Tu was a man of deep feelings.
Especially the people from Pangjia Village who had just arrived here had never seen such a scene before. You should know that even though the people of the six towns in the northern border are known for their fierceness, they had never seen any woman dare to have such courage to express her feelings of longing in public.
Lu Tu nodded to Xiao Zhong, indicating that he would leave the rest to him, and then returned home with several women.
On the way, he continued to tell them about what had happened on this trip. After listening, Song Yuxi immediately grasped the key point and frowned, saying, "Husband, are you saying that Commandant Zhao Wuyou of Huai Shuo is infertile?"
"Not only that, he was also born a eunuch."
"Ugh~" Upon hearing this word, the women couldn't help but show expressions of disgust at the same time.
Seeing this, Lu Tu couldn't help but laugh. The others felt disgusted just thinking about it, which shows how desperate Zhao Wuyou must be.
Furthermore, given his long-term high position, he naturally had no shortage of beautiful women around him. Under such circumstances, how perverse and violent must his temperament have been?
"No wonder he did something like sending refugees to storm our city gates. He can get refugees to their deaths today, but he might just turn against us tomorrow!"
Song Yuxi's analysis was very logical, and Lu Tu agreed with it, since anyone with a twisted mind is capable of doing anything.
Lu Tu stood up and said, "So we need to be prepared to deal with trouble, especially when he goes crazy!"
"My lord, you've already found a solution? But we don't have enough manpower." Nangong Huiyu hit the nail on the head.
Upon hearing this, the other three women frowned. They all knew that the matter was still unresolved, but they were unwilling to mention it to Lü Tu, fearing that it would put too much pressure on him.
Only Nangong Huiyu, with her straightforward nature, would say such a thing, but seeing the expressions on her other sisters' faces, she immediately realized she might have said something wrong, and said with a embarrassed expression, "Husband, actually we don't need to rush..."
Seeing Nangong Huiyu's amusing expression, Lü Tu couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek and said, "Xiaoyu, what kind of person do you take me for? You can't even handle this little bit of pressure? You and Yuxi can rest at home and take care of your pregnancy. I guarantee no one can hurt you!"
Upon hearing this, the women present nodded repeatedly, a hint of admiration flashing in their eyes.
It must be said that a good relationship between the sexes relies on the strength of the man and the natural admiration of the woman, which is the most stable relationship.
Seeing this, Song Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally achieved such a stable life, and naturally cherished it very much. She looked at Lü Tu with admiration and said, "I knew you had a way, my husband. I have high hopes for you!"
Hearing the somewhat familiar modern phrasing, Lu Tu was surprised to find that Song Yuxi, having spent a long time with him, had also subconsciously started using his witty language.
Lu Tu kissed each of the women on the forehead: "You all have fun first, I'm going to get busy."
As Lu Tu turned and left, his heart was still warm. This must be the feeling of having someone to rely on. At this moment, Lu Tu felt as if he was full of strength and had inexhaustible energy!
Upon arriving at the warehouse, they saw Liu Yang counting the incoming goods, with Ban Yingying helping to record the information. Since Jiang Wanyu married Lü Tu, Ban Yingying had been chosen as the next warehouse manager and cashier.
Seeing her focused expression, Lü Tu nodded in approval. However, while Ban Yingying was taking notes, Liu Yang seemed much more distracted. His eyes would occasionally steal glances at Ban Yingying's profile, and he almost drooled, looking like a lovesick fool.
Lu Tu came to his side, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We'll see later. Get me something."
Liu Yang quickly snapped out of his voyeuristic daze and awkwardly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth: "Okay, big brother, what do you need?"
A soft laugh came from behind her. It was clear that she had noticed Liu Yang was peeking at her, but she didn't call him out on it.
It's obvious that the two are mutually attracted, and if they aren't brought together, things will be difficult to resolve.
Lu Tu laughed and said, "I don't need you, you go and pick up girls first."
"Huh? Brother, don't talk nonsense. Yingying and I are innocent. I didn't do anything to her." Although he didn't know what "chasing girls" meant, he had been by Lu Tu's side for so long that he could roughly guess what it meant, so he quickly denied it.
Without further ado, Lü Tu gathered a bunch of materials and then found an empty room to begin making gunpowder.
The ratio of one part sulfur, two parts saltpeter, and three parts charcoal was already deeply ingrained in the memories of every Dragon Kingdom person from the previous life, not to mention that Lu Tu was the youngest soldier king of the Dragon Kingdom in the previous life, and he was more familiar with making this than cooking.
Soon, Lü Tu produced several kilograms of gunpowder, along with some broken ceramic shards, copper powder obtained from Hu Delu, and a tiny bit of magnesium powder from the warehouse. He carefully packed it into wooden buckets and returned to his courtyard.
It was getting dark, and Lü Tu stood at the door and asked his four wives, "Do you want to see fireworks?"
"What is that?"
Lu Tu was speechless. It seemed that the technological development of this world was indeed very slow. Thinking back to his previous life, fireworks and firecrackers existed in the Song Dynasty, but the Great Yu Dynasty did not even have such things.
If none of his four wives had ever met his family background, then it meant that it didn't exist in the upper echelons of the Great Yu Dynasty.
"It's so good, do you want to see it?"
"Yes!" Upon hearing that it looked beautiful, almost every woman, who loves beauty, naturally wouldn't let it go. Even Cuiguo and Lingdang, who were cooking, became interested.
"Sir, may we take a look?"
"Of course they can see it! Cuiguo, go and tell everyone not to panic. I'll show them something fun."
"Yes, ma'am!" Cuiguo ran very fast and quickly spread the word that Lu Tu was going to reward everyone, which immediately spread throughout the entire village.
Everyone temporarily put down what they were doing and looked at the sky in confusion.
Holding the bamboo tube, Lü Tu quickly walked to an open space a dozen feet away from his house and shouted to them, "Watch carefully!"
The group nodded and smiled at Lü Tu: "Husband, we're ready!"
