Chapter 1409: Chapter 1408: Ru Nian Offers a Strategy
Picking up a wine jar from the side, he poured himself a bowl and walked over, "Come, let’s have a bowl."
"Gang Leader Xiao, I’m called Ru Nian, and I’m Wu Guangzu’s junior disciple. As for your wine, I’m afraid I can’t drink it; we have to hit the road tomorrow," Ru Nian declined.
"Eh, what road? Now is the time of national crisis, everyone should unite against foreign enemies; it’s better for us to swear brotherhood together and drive away that dog thief Kuang Chenggong,"
At this moment, Xiao Feng already had an idea. With the Assassin Group’s righteous reputation, recruiting soldiers has become much easier, so he decided to cooperate with the Assassin Group.
At this time, Wu Guangzu listened to Xiao Feng’s words and made a decision himself: if he could kill Kuang Chenggong and drive away the Sabina People, what’s a bowl of wine?
Having seen Xiao Feng’s skills earlier, Wu Guangzu’s confidence grew. If he could gather such a group of Tiger and Wolf Warriors, reclaiming the Assassin Group would be within reach.
Wu Guangzu stepped forward in a flash, grabbed the wine from Xiao Feng’s hands, and drank it up in one gulp.
"Haha, Wu, indeed your spirit is sky-high; well then, from today on, we are brothers," Xiao Feng said happily.
Wu Guangzu thought for a moment and then addressed Xiao Feng and the members of the Fire Dragon Gang behind him, "Brothers, listening to your gang leader, it seems you all were forced into banditry. Now, in the face of national crisis, we of the Assassin Group take it upon ourselves to save the common people. I hope you can join our ranks, recruit troops, and together drive the Sabina People out of Huaxia."
"Hahaha, I didn’t expect Wu’s idea to be the same as mine."
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he said somewhat gloomily, "But, although our Fire Dragon Gang has hundreds of strong brothers, we have no supplies and might not last a few days."
After hearing this, Wu Guangzu frowned, but then suddenly remembered something and said, "Right, I have a way. I wonder if it’s feasible?"
"Oh? Wu, what way? Tell us,"
Xiao Feng asked curiously.
"Are there any granaries nearby, especially those controlled by Kuang Chenggong? We can secretly transport away part of the supplies first, then use them as our snack reserves for the near future. Once we’re ready to seize the Assassin Group, there we’ll have our secret granary, which can provide us with food for at least half a year. Moreover, the Assassin Group possesses abundant land and resources; we can cultivate the land ourselves and be self-sufficient."
Wu Guangzu’s plan was quite grand.
However, secretly transporting enemy supplies nearby is not an easy task, so Xiao Feng thought for a moment and said, "Wu, stealing food is not an easy task. After all, at this time, that dog thief Kuang Chenggong has been on guard; especially regarding this place and military grain reserves, defenses have been strengthened and are heavily guarded."
At this time, Ru Nian moved forward and, being skilled in strategy, said: "Gang Leader Xiao, that’s true, but with some strategy, perhaps it’s possible..."
Seeing Ru Nian’s cold smile, Xiao Feng asked curiously, "Brother Ru Nian, what great ideas do you have?"
"First, I need to confirm, where are Kuang Chenggong’s troops stationed around here?" Ru Nian thought for a moment and said.
"The Sabina troops are stationed less than ten kilometers from here, at the foot of a place called Putuo Mountain. It’s the main camp of this detachment, and the granaries, according to my scouts’ reports, are there too, but they’re heavily guarded, making it unlikely to transport quietly," Xiao Feng said.
"Oh? Do we know roughly how many soldiers are guarding the granary?"
Ru Nian did not directly address how to resolve the danger but first asked how many soldiers were guarding.
"Around fifty or so, but their main force has over two thousand soldiers and is less than a mile from the granary. If we’re discovered, the army will arrive immediately, and by then we won’t be able to transport food; escaping would still be an issue," Xiao Feng explained.
Ru Nian did not say much, directly walked to Wu Guangzu, and said, "Senior Brother Wu, this can be done, but we all follow your orders; should we go or not?"
At this moment, Wu Guangzu was a bit torn. The Assassin Group’s downfall was caused by the Sabina People; he hoped to use this opportunity to strengthen his troops and then seize the Assassin Group entirely.
But now it’s a matter of safety; several junior brothers have risked life and limb alongside him, escaping only with difficulty. If they rashly went on this adventure and something happened, the group would again face danger, and he did not want to lose anyone else!
"Ru Nian, this is too dangerous. We better not go; if discovered, it would be disastrous..."
Clearly, Wu Guangzu valued his junior brothers’ lives highly, as they were like blood brothers.
At this time, Ding Kong, Xiaoliu, and several other junior brothers walked over and said in unison, "Third Senior Brother, we’re not afraid. As long as we can reclaim the Assassin Group, we’ll climb mountains or dive into seas without hesitation."
Seeing the determination in his junior brothers’ eyes, Wu Guangzu was deeply moved. At this moment, Xiao Feng also came over, "Haha, I didn’t expect the Assassin Group disciples to be such fervent individuals. Well, you haven’t let me down; ask for as many hands as you need; we will all follow your orders."
Ru Nian walked over, respectfully clasped his fist, then said, "Not many needed; we’ll go over with five people from here, and you provide ten people specifically to handle five push carts. Once we’ve opened the granary, everyone will rush in to move the food out, while the five cart handlers outside wait for our signal and push the cart to the closest point to the granary."
"Haha, that’s no problem, but what do we use as a signal?" Xiao Feng asked.
He felt that if they rashly used something like signal flares or shouted loudly, that definitely wouldn’t work.
"Hehe, we’ll imitate the sound of frogs, croaking croak croak croak..."
Saying this, Ru Nian made a few croaking sounds, causing those nearby to burst into laughter. The Second-in-Command, who had been a bit angry earlier, was also moved by hearing that everyone was patriotic, especially after the dialogue among Assassin Group brothers.
"Alright, let’s settle it this way."
Xiao Feng glanced outside; night was deep, and it was obvious the Assassin Group brothers were already exhausted. Thus, he said, "Later, I’ll arrange for a few to take a bath and rest well for the night. Tomorrow night we’ll execute the plan; I’ll prepare the carts and ten capable youths for you."
"Thank you, Gang Leader Xiao."
Wu Guangzu said very gratefully.
"Eh, why say such courteous things? From now on, we are one family. As Sabina rules, only by uniting can we drive the Sabina People out of Huaxia," Xiao Feng said righteously.
"Haha, great!"
Wu Guangzu didn’t say more, and then Xiao Feng arranged for them to wash and rest.
The night passed without words, and soon, at noon the next day, Gang Leader Xiao gathered everyone in the hall to discuss the plan and important matters for the evening.
At this time, there were many unfamiliar faces in the hall, apart from those seen last night, most were unrecognizable.
"Daddy, I want to go too."
Suddenly, a girl’s voice came from the doorway.
Wu Guangzu looked outside and saw a very striking girl, but she seemed a bit wild in demeanor. Her curves were very prominent, and luckily the group were cultivators who didn’t feel much about it; anyone with lustful tendencies would find her explosive and alluring.
This person was Xiao Feng’s daughter, Xiao Qing.
