Chapter 40: Rescue, Begin!

  Silence! Besides silence, still silence!

  Wu Ji's words were too astonishing!

  He Manquan's words were a bit arrogant, but they weren't wrong. Wu Ji was just a small clerk, without troops, without people, and without power or influence. In the current situation, what kind of waves could he stir up?

  If Wu Jia can really stir up waves, then it's a miracle!

  Under the current circumstances, Wu Ji's most sensible approach would be to flee immediately. The farther he could escape, the better!

  Wu Jie not only didn't flee, but also said he wanted to go and annihilate the Liu Feng thieves. Isn't this jumping into the net voluntarily?

  "Lord Wu, isn't this matter a bit... rather... unlikely!" Wang Ergou hesitated for half a day, but ultimately didn't care about Wu Jie's face and spoke out.

  "Yes! We are just a few dozen people, how can we be the match for the Flying Thieves?"

  "There are several hundred robbers around now. With He Wanquan becoming a robber, there were five hundred more people, exactly five hundred people."

  What Qiyun Society people said with seven mouths and eight tongues was a bit discouraging, but it's the plain truth.

  The people on the Wu family's side chose to remain silent, Zhang Daniu, Qiao Dayuan and Duan Daweng didn't say a word, tightly pursing their lips, sizing up Wu Ji. Their meaning was very clear, it was just that Wang Ergou and the others were right, but they didn't dare to speak out because of Wu Ji's face.

  "Qiji, is this... or should we just forget about it?" Wu Qing was a senior and cared for Wu Qiji deeply, so he had to step out and persuade him.

  "Wu Lang, you say how to do it and I'll do it! Wherever you go, I'll go!" Yang Xiuxiu leaned in close to Wu Ji's side, her meaning clear: she was willing to live and die together with him.

  Wu Jia goes up Knife Mountain, she also goes up Knife Mountain; Wu Jia goes down Fire Sea, she also goes down Fire Sea!

  At this time, Wu Ji needed support the most. Her support made Wu Ji feel particularly moved. He wrapped his right arm around her slender waist and felt a comfortable warmth that made him feel especially at peace.

  "Brother Jiu, wherever you say we go, we'll follow!" Wu Jian and Wu Xing were very trusting of Wu Jiu and supported him.

  "Wu Xiuciai, you are a big shot in our Wujiacun village, you must have extraordinary insight. You say it can be done, and it will definitely be done! We'd better follow your lead!" Several strong men hesitated for a moment before supporting Wu Jie.

  "Alas!" Wu Qing sighed and stood beside Wu Ji: "Ji'er, what do you say? What should we do? Third Uncle followed you!"

  "Thanks, Third Uncle!" Tigers don't leave their kin, brothers don't leave each other on the battlefield, and in the end, it's still the people of Wu Family Village who are the most reliable. Although they knew this trip was perilous, they chose to support Wu Ji despite being afraid. At this moment, Wu Ji felt especially satisfied.

  Everyone in Wu's village stood on Wu Ji's side, Qiao Dayuan, Zhang Daniu and Duan Daweng hesitated for a moment before walking to stand behind Wu Ji.

  "I've lived for so many years and have never met such a good master!" Zhang Daniu couldn't help but praise Wu Ji.

  "If it weren't for the master, my old father would have been gone long ago! This kindness, Qiao Dayuan cannot help but repay!" Qiao Dayuan was a filial son and always remembered Wu Ji's help in this matter.

  "Duan Dapeng has never met a master as good as this one!" Despite being afraid, Duan Dapeng still supported Wu Ji.

  The Wu family's military industry is fully supporting Wu Ji, which surprised him greatly. In Wu Ji's mind, at most Yang Xiuxiu, Wu Jian and Wu Xing would support him. Wu Qing will block him, and several others will hesitate.

  It turned out that the development of the situation was completely different from what he had expected. All the people in Wu's military industry chose to support him.

  What does this mean?

  This shows that Wu Ji did not fail as a person, he was very successful, and some people were willing to entrust their lives to him!

  "Thank you! Thank you all!" Wu Ji clasped his fists and bowed, deeply moved: "This matter, looking very dangerous, actually not that dangerous. He Wanquan drinking with the thieves, was exactly when they were least on guard, he must not have expected us to suddenly attack! As long as we are careful, nothing will happen."

  Wu Jie's analysis is very reasonable, and Wang Erge and other good men of the Qi Yun Society can't help but nod in secret.

  "Of course, this trip is not without danger. If we fail, our lives will be in jeopardy!" Wu Ji also did not deliberately conceal the danger: "Those who do not want to go, please leave, I owe you a favor! If you are willing to go, all I can say is that I will do my best to keep you all safe, but I dare not guarantee that everyone will come out unscathed."

  "Master, don't say any more, we'll follow you!" Qiao Dajun was the first to speak up.

  "Yes!" The crowd echoed in unison.

  "Alright! Let's go!" Wu Ji rushed to Wang Erge and made a fist, saying: "Wang Erge, the good men of Qi Yun Society, if you want to save your lives, go to the Wu family military factory to get some thunderbolt bombs and seize the city gate. I've taken care of the warehouse for the thunderbolt bombs, just follow my instructions and you won't trigger any mechanism."

  "Thanks, Lord Wu! You're really a good friend!" Wang Ergou was deeply moved.

  The good men of the Qi Yun Society also nodded in agreement, and Wu Ji did not forget them at this critical moment, making their goodwill towards him rise sharply.

  In times of crisis, a person's inner self is most revealed. Wu Ji, at this life-and-death juncture, still cares about the safety of his Qi Yun Society comrades, and it would be impossible for these hot-blooded men not to be moved.

  "At the moment of farewell, I just remind you all of one sentence: twenty years later, thirty years later, when your children and grandchildren ask you why you didn't make an effort today, how will you answer?"

  Wu Ji suddenly changed his tone, his voice rising high, and asked in return: "Even if we fail today, if I survive, can I proudly say to my children and grandchildren: I did my best! You brave men, have you done your best?"

  At this point, Wu Ji stopped talking and waved his hand, saying: "Go!"

  Wu Ji took a big step forward, heading towards the county government office. Yang Xiuxiu, Wu Jian, Wu Xing, and Wu Qing hurried to follow him. A group of Wu's military engineers followed closely behind Wu Ji as he strode towards the county government office.

  "Ji'er, how many have you calculated?" Wu Qing leaned in close to Wu Ji's side and asked quietly.

  "Alright!" Wu Ji thought for a moment.

  "50%? That's so high?" Wu Qing's voice was slightly raised.

  In this case, it's already good to have a 10% chance of success, but Wu Ji actually has a 50% chance, which is indeed quite high and surprising.

  "The bandits are indulging in feasting and drinking, neglecting their defenses, which is the perfect opportunity to strike. Moreover, I am particularly familiar with the county yamen, so our chances of success are higher! If the heroes of the Qi Yun Society assist us, our chances will be even greater." Wu Ji was very confident.

  Wu Jie's character is not one to easily admit defeat, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will strive and dare to fight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to blow up Ouyang Qing's head.

  "Those people from Qi Yun Society, claiming to be heroes, yet so afraid of death." Wu Qing sneered, raising his head and puffing out his chest: "Not as good as me, a mere farmer who only knows how to plant crops!"

  "Third Uncle, don't worry, they'll come!" A hint of a playful smile appeared on Wu Jie's lips.

  Yang Xiuxiu and the others all clearly heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel a surge of morale, their confidence greatly increased.

  A group of people led by Wu Ji went to the county government office, but they didn't encounter the Liufeng thieves. This shows that the Liufeng thieves had already gone to enjoy themselves, and Wu Ji's confidence grew even stronger.

  They soon arrived at the county government office, Wu Ji was familiar with the county government office and led everyone to a hidden place. Only then did they carefully observe that there were many bandits and thieves gathered in the county government office, as well as soldiers who had just mutinied, eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls.

  Next to them were also placed no small amount of silk and gold and silver, piled high, dazzling the eyes.

  Each soldier was extremely satisfied, eating and shouting: "It's really great to be a bandit! It's much more enjoyable than when we were on military rations!"

  "As long as I want it, gold, silver, silk and satin are all mine! I can have as much as I want!"

  "All the money and grain in the treasury of the Imperial Court will be yours!"

  "There's also women, as long as I want, I can occupy them at any time!"

  These soldiers had a taste of the sweetness of being robbers for the first time, and they were overjoyed in their hearts, shouting particularly loudly.

  Wu Jie raised an eyebrow and sneered: "You're about to die, yet you're still dreaming!"

  The soldiers were having a good time, which was exactly when they were lax in their defense. Wu Ji's confidence grew: "Now I have a 70% chance of success!"

  "Lord Wu, Lord Wu!" Just as Wu Ji was about to lead the crowd away, someone called out to him from behind. He turned his head and saw Wang Erge hurrying over with a crouching posture.

  "Wang Ergou, how did you come?" Wu Ji looked him up and down and asked: "Could it be that you've figured it out?"

  "Hmm!" Wang Ergou nodded slightly, gave Wu Jie a thumbs up, and praised: "Lord Wu, we are really ashamed to call ourselves good men! After Lord Wu left, I discussed with my brothers, the more I think about it, the more I feel that it's not right. It's better to follow Lord Wu to eliminate the Flying Wind Bandits! Even if we die, we won't lose our reputation as good men!"

  "Good!"

  Wu Jie was overjoyed and with the help of the good men from the Qi Yun Society, the chances of success were even greater.

  Wang Erge was delighted to see Wu Jie agree, and he made a hand gesture towards the back. The twelve Qi Yun Society heroes came over, crouching down, and gathered together with Wu Jie.

  "Go! We're going to rescue Lord Zheng right away!" Wu Ji waved his hand and led a group of people, starting the rescue operation.

  Rushing to the top of the charts, seeking collection, recommendation, and clicks.
