The man's head fell to the ground, frightening the Yan family members who were about to say something so much that they just stood there in a daze.
She wanted to scream, but was afraid of the murderer in front of her, so she could only cover her mouth and dared not speak again.
"Now the disaster victims are waiting for food, and His Highness asked your Yan family to come up with a solution.
At least five million kilograms of grain must be raised.
If you can't gather this much food, you'll lose your life."
Lu Bu didn't care about the dead man and spoke.
The eldest prince naturally would not clearly state how to solve the problem. This kind of thing cannot be explained too clearly.
If they were to explain it too clearly, they would be misunderstood as having a connection with the Zhang family and be framed...
"Uncle, General, those disaster victims just want food." When the elders of the Yan family were at a loss.
Among those dandy young men of the Yan family who dared not speak, a young man stood up.
He said confidently, "I have an idea. I saw that the Zhang family has stockpiled a lot of food in advance. How about we buy some from them?"
"This..." The elders of the Yan family looked at each other.
Once these words were spoken, it basically announced the disappearance of their Yan family.
The Zhang family knows them very well and knows what industries they have. Basically, there are no secrets about them.
Now they have the evidence that falls into the hands of the Zhang family.
If you need help from them, especially such a big thing, won’t they eat it up in one gulp?
The head of the Yan family had finally come to his senses at this moment, and was filled with sorrow as he looked at his son who had died on the ground.
The man who was speaking was just a bastard's son, but at this point, there was no need to distinguish between legitimate and bastard children.
"General, how much time do we have?"
"I want you to collect food tonight." Originally, the food was supposed to arrive in three days.
But there was not enough food in the city. With this kind of thing happening, the eldest prince naturally had to move up the time.
Otherwise, by the time the news can no longer be concealed and there is no food left, it will be too late.
So tonight is the deadline.
"General, our Yan family has nowhere else to go now, so we have no choice but to look for the Zhang family.
To purchase food, please release a few people so they can discuss this with the Zhang family." Yan Ming pleaded, patting Yan Sidao who had started to speak.
Lu Bu naturally would not refuse and nodded.
At this moment, Yan Ming looked at the group of Yan family members who were panicking because of the corpse, and then looked at Yan Sidao in front of him.
Although his background is ordinary, ability is the most important thing at this time: "Xiao Wu, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter.
The life and death of our Yan family rests in your hands."
Yan Sidao nodded firmly, and Lu Bu also sent a cavalryman to follow Yan Sidao.
They went to Zhang's house together at night.
But at this moment, the Zhang family was not calm either, and their defense was extremely tight.
There were servants guarding the house everywhere, as well as invited martial arts masters.
Except there are no strong bows and crossbows, because even in this martial arts world, they are banned by the Dagan court.
Apart from that, it looks like a castle.
They placed the food in the cellars of each house and strengthened the defenses in each place.
We spent a lot of money and invited countless experts.
There are three grand masters, even one supreme grand master, and more than ten masters.
There are nearly fifty people with innate abilities, and nearly three hundred acquired abilities.
Most of the acquired strongmen who can be invited are at the seventh level of acquired realm, which can be regarded as a small master.
Plus nearly three thousand servants and guards.
Even the five gates of the Central Plains may not be able to come up with this lineup.
The entire layout is very safe, and each fortress acts as a corner to support each other.
This level of defense is to prevent some refugees from taking risks as long as the court does not take action.
Then the refugees will not be able to succeed and can only become moths to a flame.
"What a tight defense..." Yan Sidao looked at the surrounding defenses thoughtfully.
This lineup, coupled with the advance stockpiling action.
It was obvious that they were well prepared.
What were they preparing for? Naturally, they were going to annex the Yan family. The grain fire incident had at least a 90% chance of being caused by the Zhang family in front of them.
After all, burning the food and supplies would not benefit anyone except them.
"Now is not the time to offend them." But now I need a favor, so I will report it to the eldest prince.
There can be no ending, so we can only endure it and get through this difficult time.
"So you are the nephew of the Yan family. I wonder what brings you here? Let your uncle entertain you."
The head of the Zhang family, Zhang Cheng, is the twelfth prince's uncle.
He was in his forties or fifties, but of a high generation. He saw that the person who came was not the head of the Yan family, nor those legitimate sons.
However, the fifth son of the Yan family was a little confused, but he did not show it.
"Uncle Zhang, I have something I hope you can help me with." Seeing the man's appearance, Yan Sidao calmed down and bowed to ask.
Zhang Cheng, the head of the Zhang family, was delighted after hearing this. "Haha, what's the matter? Our two families are as close as brothers, so there's nothing wrong with that."
Seeing Yan Sidao looking a little anxious, Zhang Cheng in the living room did his best to delay time.
After going through all the formalities and pouring hot tea, he reluctantly asked what was the matter.
Time is on their side. As long as there is food in the warehouse, there is no need to panic.
Yan Sidao spoke about buying grain: "Our Yan family is willing to pay three times the market price to purchase your Zhang family's grain."
"Three times?" Zhang Cheng shook his head and sighed, "My dear nephew, you don't know how precious this grain is!"
