Chapter 779 [Under the Brocade 75]
However, when Yuan Jinxia stepped into the mysterious secret room, what she saw was jaw-dropping - the place where all kinds of sophisticated firearms should have been placed was now filled with colorful toys and colorful clothes! This sudden change made Yuan Jinxia stunned, but she quickly came to her senses and locked her eyes on the last box that had not been opened.
Just as she was about to reach out to open the box, Wang Mazi's wife suddenly rushed forward and stood tightly in front of the box, her face full of fear.
Seeing this, Yuan Jinxia stretched out her hand without hesitation and pulled Wang Mazi's wife away. As the lid of the box slowly opened, a pile of firearms emitting cold light appeared inside!
At the same time, Mao Dadangjia, who was far away in the mountain stronghold, also received an important message: the Ming army launched a strong attack on the mountain stronghold today, but for some reason suddenly chose to retreat in the middle of the attack. Faced with such a situation, Mao Dadangjia did not blindly pursue the victory, but calmly ordered Wang Mazi to make sure all matters were properly arranged just in case.
On the other side, Yang Yue and Yuan Jinxia hurried to meet Wu Shouxu, wanting to report the latest situation to him and seek support. However, when they arrived at their destination, they were told that Wu Shouxu had rushed to Cengang to deal with an emergency.
Although she failed to meet Wu Shouxu in person, Yuan Jinxia unexpectedly learned a key piece of information from others - it turned out that General Qi's wife was fluent in the Japanese language.
After hearing the news, Yang Yue and Yuan Jinxia rushed to Madam Qi's house without stopping. With full of expectations, they sincerely asked Madam Qi to lend a hand and give them a helping hand.
In the imperial palace in Beijing, the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of Wu Shouxu and Yu Dayong in this war. In a rage, the emperor immediately ordered the two to be dismissed from their official positions and said: "For the time being, I will not hold you two accountable, but you must make meritorious contributions. If you still cannot capture Cengang this time, it is hard to say whether you can save your lives!" This stern warning was like a heavy yoke, which made Wu Shouxu and Yu Dayong breathless.
Lu Yi and You You worked together to prepare a large amount of gunpowder and powerful mines. These weapons were neatly placed aside, exuding a chilling atmosphere. However, at this moment, Xie Xiao, who had always been naughty and mischievous, could not suppress his curiosity and sneaked up to find out what was going on.
Shangguan Xi was quick to grab Xie Xiao and quickly took him away from the scene to prevent him from accidentally getting into trouble or interfering with other people's work.
At the same time, Madam Qi was chatting with Wang Mazi's wife, trying to get some information about gunpowder from her. But surprisingly, Wang Mazi's wife knew nothing about it. She just said with a blank face that Wang Mazi strictly forbade her to touch those things.
Yuan Jinxia couldn't help but sigh inwardly when she saw this situation. She gently said to Wang Mazi's wife, "Sister-in-law, you should take the children downstairs to rest first. We are here."
Wang Mazi's wife nodded, then led the child away slowly.
Seeing this, Madam Qi walked over to Yuan Jinxia and explained softly, "This is actually a traditional custom of the Japanese. Women are not allowed to ask about what men are doing."
After hearing this, Yuan Jinxia suddenly realized and at the same time felt great admiration for Mrs. Qi's erudition and knowledge.
Madam Qi smiled and patted Yuan Jinxia on the shoulder and said, "If you need any help in the future, just come to me."
Yuan Jinxia nodded happily and said, "Thank you, Madam Qi!"
Although Yuan Jinxia and Yang Yue felt very difficult and had a headache facing the mountains of gunpowder and mines in front of them, they firmly believed that keeping the mother and son would be useful.
On the other side, when Dong Qisheng came to the side of the headmaster Mao, he was surprised to find Zhai Lanye there. The headmaster Mao boasted to Dong Qisheng: "See? This is the beauty Yan Shifan gave me!"
There were several obvious scars on Zhai Lanye's pretty face, which showed that she had been killed by Mao Dadang. At this moment, Zhai Lanye's eyes were burning with rage, and she wished she could tear the abominable Mao Dadang into pieces immediately.
But she had no choice but to suppress her anger in the enemy camp, grit her teeth, and silently endure the public humiliation by Mao the Great.
After careful consideration, Yu Dayong finally decided to launch an important operation tomorrow. He arranged for Shangguan Xi to lead the Shaolin disciples to participate in it, and at this time Xie Xiao volunteered to personally drive the terrifying ghost ship. At the same time, Lu Yi also offered to go together without hesitation, after all, those powerful mines were made by him personally.
However, Yu Dayong could not help but feel a little worried. These two men had never had any experience in actually fighting in the battlefield. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly and full of dangers. He was really worried.
Moreover, Lu Yi was the son of an important official of the imperial court, and his status was extremely prominent. If anything went wrong during this operation, they would not be able to report to their superiors. Therefore, Yu Dayong politely rejected their request.
But Xie Xiao and Lu Yi did not back down, but insisted with a firm attitude. Especially Lu Yi, he vowed to tell his father Lu Ting the details of this action, and promised that no matter what happened, he would never implicate other people. Seeing this, Wu Shouxu and Yu Dayong looked at each other and had no choice but to agree.
On the other side, Yang Yue carefully helped Yang Chengwan, who was still injured, out of the room and walked to the courtyard to get some fresh air. Looking at his father's haggard face, Yang Yue felt guilty and kept blaming himself for not taking good care of his father.
At this time, Wang Mazi returned home happily, looking forward to sharing the joy of family life with his wife and children. But what he never expected was that the house was empty, with only a letter left by Yuan Jinxia on the table.
The letter asked him to come to the official post alone. Although he was full of doubts, Wang Mazi still tiptoed towards the official post in the middle of the night.
Not long after, Wang Mazi arrived at the official post. Just as he was looking around, Yang Yue and others who had been lying in ambush here for a long time suddenly appeared like a god descending from the sky, quickly subdued him and escorted him to Yuan Jinxia and Madam Qi.
Facing everyone's questioning, Wang Mazi gritted his teeth and refused to admit the crime he had committed. He just kept arguing that he was just doing a small business of reselling arms.
Yuan Jinxia stared at Wang Mazi with sharp eyes. With her years of experience in handling cases, she saw through his lies at a glance. She sneered and exposed him mercilessly: "Stop pretending here! Don't think I don't know what you've done."
As she spoke, she deliberately mentioned Wang Mazi's wife as a threat and stimulation, trying to break his psychological defenses.
Wang Mazi immediately softened his heart and begged Yuan Jinxia and Madam Qi to let his wife and children go. In the end, he told the truth and said that Boss Mao asked him to stay in Hangzhou City and cooperate with the Japanese pirates to take over Hangzhou City.
