The canned food was getting more and more fragrant, and the people who had eaten it were looking forward to the next meal. After eating it, they would become more energetic.
On the third night, after Lu Bo finished the canned food, he went back to the tent to eat with his subordinates. He didn't eat the food immediately, but used chopsticks to distribute it to his subordinates. Then, he tried not to make any sound of vomiting and vomited out more than half of the canned food.
He didn't dare to vomit all out because he was afraid that it would affect his mental state. He knew that he was starting to like the feeling of being addicted to drugs. If he vomited all of it, he might become depressed.
The 24 people watched their boss vomit and felt that something was wrong. Was their boss not feeling well? Was it poisonous?
When Lu Bo vomited the food into the packaging of the military beam, the subordinate closest to him began to write on the ground, "What's wrong?"
Lu Bo followed and wrote, "Don't make a sound. It's okay. Leave some porridge for me."
His subordinate nodded and began to praise the military food to cover his writing.
"It's poisonous, addictive poison. It's probably the poppy reported in the newspaper. Don't eat too much tonight. Get ready."
After Lu Bo finished writing, he nodded solemnly to his subordinates.
The 24 people took a deep breath almost at the same time and then held the air in their lungs. Their faces were full of nervousness.
"Can you quit?" A subordinate wrote worriedly.
"You have to quit even if you can't," Lu Bo wrote.
The 24 people nodded and no longer made any other unnecessary movements. They began to eat their own military food. They didn't feel disgusted at all when they saw their boss vomit. Now was a moment of life and death, and all thoughts that shouldn't be had should be abandoned.
At the same time, they were very clear about what the poppy was. It had been reported more than once in the newspaper, introducing the shape of the poppy. There were specially carved pictures and colored pigments separately. When the poppy flower bloomed, it was very beautiful. It was red, pink, and white. If one looked at it in the middle, it would make people feel happy.
The newspaper also introduced how poppy was made into opium paste. It was the white paste that appeared when the head was destroyed. It was simple to boil.
The biggest use was to be used in medicine, so if someone wanted to plant it, they could plant it, but they were not allowed to eat it themselves. After planting and looking at the flowers, they had to send it to the medical center, and the medical center would use it to make medicine.
If they found that they ate it themselves, they would be killed. If they found that they put it in food for others to eat and cause others to become addicted, they would be killed.
The twenty-four of them knew that the boss had planted quite a lot of them. They looked very beautiful when they bloomed, especially the 'gourd', which looked very interesting.
However, they didn't eat it. Although it could be used as medicine, it was free of charge to see a doctor. Even if they didn't feel well, they would go to the clinic instead of eating it in private in order to save money.
The newspaper even wrote about the adverse effects of addiction after eating it. It warned the people of the Great Tang that in order to have a healthy body to earn more money for their family, in order to have a healthy body to create more wealth for their country, and in order to make their country richer and stronger, they should not try to eat that thing. Otherwise, they would be irresponsible to the Great Tang, irresponsible to their family, and betraying their country.
Out of the 24 people, no one had ever eaten it. Even if they did plant it, they would just look at the flowers. Then, they would bring it to the Medical Center and let the Medical Center make it into medicine to treat diseases. The Medical Center would not give them a single copper coin, so they could not sell it.
Since it was reported in the newspaper, they were clear about the situation their boss was in. He was addicted, and it would take a lot of effort to kick it.
Therefore, when they looked at their boss, their eyes were filled with encouragement.
Lu Bo glared at them and thought, I'm not going to die, so why are you so sad? The supper was more unbearable. I don't know if I'll faint.
At the same time, he glanced at the tent. Because the light outside was brighter than inside the tent, when looking from a distance, the shadows of the people outside would fall on the tent. Only when they were close could they see the shadows of the people inside the tent, and it was very blurry.
Lu Bo felt sad for the people who ate more food. The result of having no knowledge. If you all went to school when you were young, and if your school taught you some words and knowledge of the Great Tang, how could you fall into the trap so easily?
Why did I have to print books for the children in school to read? This was the power of knowledge.
Sang Qi, who was eating happily outside, did not know that the person who tested the poison was cursing them in the tent. He only felt that the canned food today was even more satisfying. After eating it, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, there was not a single place where he felt uncomfortable. Although the sky was gloomy tonight, breathing after eating the canned food was very pleasant.
Listening to the voices coming from the tent from time to time, his mouth revealed a smile, and his whole body was relaxed.
Sang Qi had already made a decision. As long as he could meet up with the rest of the troops, he would definitely keep the person called Lu Bo. This person knew a lot, could speak both languages, and could read both languages. If he kept him by his side, maybe his status would be improved. When he had more power, he could give Lu Bo more benefits. Gems, women, wine, all were not a problem.
The half-moon shyly hid behind the dark clouds. Occasionally, when the wind blew, a trace of light would appear in the gaps of the dark clouds, but it would quickly hide back again.
The torches in the camp flickered, and the tent made a sound as it was blown by the wind.
Lu Bo and the other 25 people were counting sheep while sleeping. This was also what they learned from the newspaper. When they were suffering from insomnia, they should try not to take medicine. They could use something to cover their eyes and then count sheep. They also imagined that they were on the grassland, where the sky was high, the clouds were light, and the grass was green and the flowers were red. They thought that counting would make them fall asleep quickly.
Only when it did not work would they go to the clinic to get medicine to eat.
Many people were not in the mood to sleep. They felt that sleeping in this kind of weather was a waste of time, so they sang and danced. All kinds of sounds mixed together and rippled in the night sky.
Many of the people at the border who were taken hostage felt that the situation today was not right. The cannibals were too happy, Lu Bo and the others were too quiet in the tent, and the dark clouds in the sky made it hard for people to breathe.
They occasionally looked at each other and felt that something was going to happen. They did not know why they had this idea, but everything around them looked strange.
In the middle of the night, the sound of gunshots rang out. The people who did not sleep much brought the food back with the hostages. As usual, Lu Bo ate it.
He had just eaten two mouthfuls of the canned food, and the people did not wait to see his reaction. They opened the canned food and stuffed it into their mouths.
Today, Lu Bo ate very quickly. He did not chew at all and directly swallowed. Then, he stood there motionless. He was doing the opposite of what was described in the newspaper.
The newspaper said that people who did not absorb and digest well had to chew carefully when eating and try to chew the food as much as possible. This way, when it entered the stomach, the stomach acid could come into contact with the food better and quickly decompose it. Drinking a little soup while eating and strolling after the meal was also a good choice.
However, Lu Bo did not intend to let himself absorb the canned food quickly. He decided to spit it all out when he entered the tent later. As for the people who were eating, he did not care. Just eat. It was delicious. Eat more.
At the same time, Lu Bo also decided that after he went, he would specially ask people to collect all kinds of common knowledge in life and then send articles to the Tang newspaper. Or, he would also write a small daily newspaper and introduce all kinds of useful tips and knowledge to the people of Da Tang.
No wonder there is a page dedicated to such things every time. It turns out that it can save lives at critical moments. Usually, when I read such pages in the newspaper, it was just for entertainment. But now I know how important these little wisdom are. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are really gods.
Lu Bo sighed. When knowledge was not used, no one would think that it was very useful. But when it was needed, it was so convenient and useful.
When the people who were eating the second can of canned food, Lu Bo returned to the tent. Under the cover of his subordinates, he quietly spat out the food in his stomach again. Then, he drank a lot of water and continued to spit it out. After several times, his subordinates passed him the porridge and asked him to drink a few mouthfuls to prevent the stomach acid and bile from burning the gastric mucosa with an empty stomach.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Lu Bo went to sleep. He was afraid that after he spat out the drugs, his body would feel uncomfortable if it was not replenished. Sleeping would relieve this feeling. He hoped that the cycle of the body's need for drugs would be longer and would not be the same as the cycle of eating.
After the people who were eating supper, they were very excited at first. After about half an hour, they all looked tired.
Sang Qi immediately ordered them to rest and decided not to sing and dance after dinner tomorrow night. If they were tired, it would affect the battle. There were still enemies around. Maybe the enemies could not help but suddenly attack at any time.
The people who were eating went to the tent to rest, leaving only the sentries to guard the camp and the hostages.
All kinds of insects were chirping. The clouds in the sky seemed to be darker and denser. For a long time, there was no trace of moonlight.
When it was time to change the sentries, the people who should have gotten up quickly were pushed many times. Only then did they wake up and drag their heavy footsteps to the sentry post. The original sentries fell asleep as soon as they entered the tent. In fact, they had fallen asleep just now. It was just that they could not sleep well standing up, so they forced themselves to stay awake until now.
The new sentries stood for a while and fell asleep not long after. The people outside could not see the hidden sentries, but they could hear the snoring.
The people who were tied up at the junction were all dumbfounded. They looked at the people who were usually very energetic and would occasionally come to scold them. Why did they all fall asleep today?
If that was the case, who would be the sentries?
For a moment, they were tempted. Since no one was on the lookout, could they …
Just as two people were about to move, they were immediately whispered by a relatively older person, "Don't move. Sleep honestly. Squeeze squeeze squeeze."
It was said to be squeezy because they lived outside. Even if it was raining, no one would prepare tents for them. The main thing was that there were only so many tents. It was not easy to save one for Lu Bo and the others.
As for the reason, of course, it was because Lu Bo could help them calculate and come up with ideas. Once again, it proved the importance of knowledge. Even if you were a prisoner, even if you were a hostage, as long as you could prove that you were good at what you had learned, your survival environment and chances of survival would be far greater than those who were inferior to you.
The people at the junction did not enjoy the treatment of tents. When it was sunny, it was fine. At most, there would be mosquito harassment. If it was raining, it would be very cold at night. They could only squeeze together. It was very difficult to go to the toilet. They had to wake others up together and tie each other up.
Today, the moon was covered by dark clouds. The wind was strong, and the night was cold. Moreover, the humidity was heavy. They did not sleep well. If one person moved, the person tied up nearby would wake up. They did not know why, but it was cold and energetic tonight. It seemed that they had become excited after eating the military rations.
When people were excited, they would always think about things that they should not think about. Now, some people felt that the opportunity had come.
"Bite the rope and we can run out. The soldiers who saved us must be around. If we meet them, we will live." The person who was shouted at was not willing to give up and said excitedly.
"What about the people in the tent? You go and call them? They are surrounded by the other tents. They woke up the people who eat more. They will kill people. "The elder whispered.
"Ignore them. Let's run out first." The young man had a good plan.
The elder sneered. "They are real people of the Great Tang. We don't have a household registration yet. If we run out at the cost of exposing them, how will the soldiers of the Great Tang treat us? If one of them dies, we will all die with them. "
The people nearby who heard the commotion nodded. Did the Great Tang send elite soldiers to kill their own people? Who knew who was close and who was distant?
"We are also people of the Great Tang." The young man muttered.
"Let's talk about it after we are saved. When we are registered, we will have to listen to the words of the Great Tang Emperor. There is also that Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. In the past two days, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are very powerful. The people who came back were sent by them. They are the most powerful team that the Great Tang can send. Other than here, only the Great Tang Emperor has them.
Everyone, don't move. Wait and trust them. Even the most powerful Great Tang soldiers forced the people of the Great Tang to take us as hostages. How can the most powerful people be weak? "
The elder threatened and boosted the confidence of the people on his side. He was afraid that some of them would be impulsive and kill Lu Bo. If his own people were exposed, he would kill them too.
Some people who were ready to make a move spread the news to each other, but all of them restrained themselves. They didn't want to be killed by the Great Tang soldiers after running out.
At night, the people of the Great Tang changed shifts every two hours. In the past, it was four hours. Later on, it was three hours. Now, it was one hour.
They were worried that if they stood for too long, it would give the Tang army a chance to attack them when they were tired. After eating, it would be past midnight. So, if they stood for two hours, it would be past midnight. Now, those who had just been replaced had to stand until midnight.
In other words, it was around three o 'clock. Midnight was half past three o' clock. If it was half past four o 'clock, it was half past four o' clock.
Half past three o 'clock was the wee hours of the morning. Even the people who sold breakfast were not willing to get up. Generally, they would wait until four o' clock before getting up to prepare. When they finished setting up their stalls and started making breakfast, it would be around five o 'clock.
At this time, dawn was relatively early. But because of the different locations, it would not be dawn until after six o 'clock. If it was in the northern part of Hebei Province, it would be dawn early. Of course, it would be dark later.
The people at the border were waiting for the arrival of a new day. They also hoped that the Great Tang soldiers would quickly rescue them. If it weren't for the Great Tang soldiers coming over to replenish their food, some people would not have been able to hold on and died.
Although it had only been a little more than three days, if not for the things that had been sent to them previously, these three days might have been the last time they could hold on. If they waited for a larger group to gather, at least one-third of them would have died. They had already used up a lot of stamina and nutrition before this.
Time passed slowly in the hearts of the people at the border. They waited and waited, and finally, it was twelve o 'clock in the morning. Some people were very clear about the time. They could tell the approximate time based on their instincts. Now, they were waiting to see more people change shifts.
In the end, the people of the Great Tang who should have taken the initiative to change shifts were still sleeping at their posts, and no one came out of their tents.
The eyes of the people living at the border lit up. They did not know why, but they were not sleepy.
They looked at the sky. When the dark clouds were rolling in, the moonlight that occasionally peeked out was already leaning towards the west. Just a little more time and the sun in the east would be the first to shine. Although the sun did not appear, the sky in the west would be able to illuminate a little.
Are they all sleeping? No one is changing shifts? Then what about the special forces of the Great Tang? Stupid! Hurry up and come out. Opportunity, a good opportunity.
Just as they were cursing in their hearts, countless black shadows suddenly appeared under the moonlight after the dark clouds had just dispersed. They were stunned for a moment, and in a moment of joy, a figure appeared beside the person at the sentry post closest to them. They didn't know how the figure moved, but the figure stopped and then moved. They watched as the person gently placed the Duoghan on the sentry post on the ground.
Then, there was the sound of popping and popping, and soon, everything returned to normal.
Before they could think about it, several large patches of light suddenly shone down from the sky. They could not help but look up and see four large objects floating in the sky. The light was coming from those four objects.
Then, more small beams of light shone from the figures.
There was not a single gunshot, not a single shout. Only someone came to help them cut the ropes.
Less than seven minutes later, they heard someone speak.
"Reporting, all the enemies are under control. All the sentry posts have been killed. Requesting action."
"Action."
"Don't move. Don't move."
"Clap clap. Put your hands on your head and lie on the ground."
A cacophony of voices began to appear, and all the voices were of the Great Tang and even some local dialects of the Great Tang.
Shouts, footsteps, and gunshots mixed together.
The beams of light from the objects flying in the sky swept back and forth.
Another seven minutes later, the noise died down again.
The Great Tang, who were still sleepy, were escorted out one by one and gathered in the open space of the camp with guns pointed at them.
When the Great Tang saw that there were more of them, there was a slight commotion. A series of gunshots rang out. No Great Tang was killed, but everyone became obedient. They knew that the thing that was making the continuous sounds was a machine gun.
The people at the border were still in a daze. They did not know how the battle had started or what was going on in the tent. In any case, all the Great Tang were under control and the sentry had been killed.
The ropes binding them had been cut, but they did not say anything. They just stood there and watched. Everything they saw was full of wonder, especially in the sky. What was flying?
The attack speed was too fast. They thought that there would be a fierce battle. After all, there were nearly six hundred Great Tang. How could they be caught in such a short time?
"Area A5 is safe."
"Area A6 is safe."
"Area B1 is safe."
One voice after another reported that they were safe.
"Gather the troops. The medical team is landing." Another voice sounded.
The people on the objects flying in the sky started to slide down the ropes quickly. Every time, two people slid down, one holding the other. The speed of the fall was very fast. When they were about to hit the ground, they suddenly slowed down and landed on the ground.
Lu Bo and the other 25 people walked out of the tent and stood in the open space outside. Someone went up and saluted. "This is Wang Miao, the commander of the Vigorous Protection Team, codenamed 'Wu Yi'. I'm here to report that you are safe."
After that, the person who called himself Wang Miao shook Lu Bo's hand and said, "It's been hard on you guys recently."
Lu Bo's tears flowed out. He took a deep breath and hugged Wang Miao. His voice was muffled as he said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. We didn't. You guys are the ones who suffered. We saw it all and remembered it in our hearts. If we didn't suffer this time, we wouldn't know how much Tang Dynasty cares for us.
Thank you. "" Let's go. We'll check your body first. Especially you, you ate a lot of opium cream. We'll inject glucose into your vein first to clean it up. We'll observe you in the future to see how addicted you are. "
Wang Miao patted Lu Bo's back and smiled.
Lu Bo also smiled. "I'm fine. I'm satisfied with eating some. I threw up the last supper yesterday. Otherwise, I would be like them, all tired and sleepy after being captured."
"Yes, we put in a large amount of sleeping pills yesterday. There were more than 50 people who were still sleeping. They didn't wake up even when they were dragged out. Lu Bo is really smart. He guessed our plan."
Wang Miao put his hand on Lu Bo's shoulder and walked to the front. Immediately, the medical staff gave him an IV drip. There was only glucose in it. The main thing was that Lu Bo had been tortured for the past three days and had to eat everything.
There were also people who came to check his blood pressure and heartbeat. There were even people who came to disinfect his fingers and take blood for a simple blood sugar test. If there was a lack of glucose, they would need to replenish it.
The first to be checked was naturally Lu Bo and the others. The people living at the border had to wait. There were only nine medical staff in total, and all of them had a red cross on them. It was the international medical symbol. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had given it according to their habits. Actually, it didn't have to be a cross, it could also be a symbol.
"What's a code name for Wuyi? It's not as good as Lei Ting. "The person who wanted to run first asked curiously. He was still awake.
Lu Bo replied, "Qiyue Wuyi? I share the same robes with you. Wang Yuxing, repair my spear. I share the same hatred! Qiyue Wuyi? I share the same lake. Wang Yuxing, repair my spear and halberd. I work with you! Qiyue Wuyi? I share the same robes with you. Wang Yuxing, repair my armor and soldiers. I walk with you! "
"What does that mean?" This person was even more confused.
"When you have time, you'll know when you read the book. It's a request for battle, and also a poem that expresses our unity," Lu Bo replied naturally.
"Lu Dongjia is indeed knowledgeable. Just by hearing a code name, you know what we mean. Alright, Lu Dongjia, rest first. Others, come and check. After that, take a hot bath. Someone is boiling water for you. After that, eat some porridge and go to sleep."
Wang Miao admired Lu Bo the most. He cooperated very well. He had clearly guessed that the food he ate would harm his body, but for the sake of the big picture, he still ate it without hesitation.
"I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleeping. Look, I'm full of energy now." This young man shook his arms and twisted his waist as he spoke.
"You'll be sleepy in a while. We were afraid that there would be problems during the rescue, so we added stimulants to your food. This way, when the cannibals attack, you can run. Once the effects wear off, you'll be very sleepy. Go and check first."
Wang Miao smiled as he spoke to the young man. He was also saying this for the others to hear.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and planned to leave to arrange other things. At the same time, he was going to report the good news to the young master and young lady at home. Not a single person had been injured, let alone died during the rescue.
"Wait a moment." Lu Bo called out to Wang Miao and said embarrassedly, "Let me take a closer look at the rice sprout on your chest. This is the second time I've seen it. The first time was when you guys were clearing out the mountain bandits. I was far away. The legendary No.0 Seedling Protection Team. It's fine if they don't appear, but if they do, they'll definitely win."
Wang Miao chuckled and stood in front of Lu Bo to let him take a closer look. Actually, there wasn't much to see. It was already on the newspaper.
Lu Bo wanted to get closer to the rice sprout, so he stretched out his hand and gently touched the embroidered pattern. The cartoon rice sprout was so cute that it made people want to laugh. Their flag was also very funny. Every family had a different rice sprout.
However, this rustic name of the Seedling Protection Team and this cute cartoon pattern represented the most elite existence of the Tang Empire. They were invincible and undefeatable.
If someone were to ask which team had the strongest offensive power in the Tang Empire, it would definitely be the direct team of the Zhang Family and Wang Family. Of course, the Emperor's team didn't count. That team couldn't be used casually.
Lu Bo stroked the rice sprout as he said, "Such a cute rice sprout. The people of the Tang Empire feel close and at ease when they see it, but the enemies feel fear and nightmares when they see it. Sign this for me. I'll go home and give it to my youngest son. He's always wanted to see Xiaobei and the others, but he couldn't find the opportunity. It's not good to disturb them when he's free."
"Who's Xiaobei?" The young man was still curious. He had already checked his body and was fine. It was good to be young. He might have been a little weak in the past, but after eating military rations for three days straight, he recovered.
"She's the younger sister of Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. She's a very interesting girl. Xiao Yuan, Xiao Qiang, Xiao Nan, and eight other children of similar age are with her. All the children of the Tang Empire want to play with them, and all the adults like them. They're very sensible and smart."
When Lu Bo mentioned Xiaobei, the nine of them revealed a kind smile. Not only did they like them, but they also knew that they were their hope.
"Then aren't they still children? Are they very powerful? I can beat them, I can beat them. "The young man was unconvinced.
The older man next to him was frightened when he heard this. He quickly explained, "Don't be fooled by how big this child is. In fact, he's only 14 years old this year. Nonsense, it's all nonsense."
Lu Bo shook his head. "It's okay. Xiaobei and the others won't care. Little brother, don't be fooled by how tall and strong you are. You'll have to fight them somewhere. If you don't use weapons and fight on the ground, you'll only be tied with them. If you're not careful, you might be killed by them.
If you're in the water, there will be dozens of people like you. Give them some time, and they will kill you one by one. You won't be able to fight back because there are no rivers or good lakes where you live. You usually live in the mountains. It's hard to say whether you can swim, let alone fight in the water. "
"I don't believe it. How can they beat me? If I beat one, the others will run away in fear," the young man said angrily.
Lu Bo didn't say anything. He just smiled. He couldn't really fight. No matter what he said, it was reasonable. However, he knew that if he really beat one, the other eight would fight with their lives. They would hug your legs and beat you to death. Moreover, it was said that they started learning combat from the age of four. Did they really think that they were easy to bully?
"Okay, okay." Wang Miao didn't get angry with the young man. He said to him, "If you have the strength, go help boil the water so that you can use it for bathing. New clothes will be sent here in the morning. Actually, Xiaobei and the others aren't like what you think. They're very strong and they know a lot of knowledge. If you want to be better than them in the future, you have to study hard. They're only 14 years old.
"What if I have a knife? Can they beat me? "The young man's willpower was still lacking. He still wanted to compete.
The older man slapped the back of the young man's head. "Go boil the water. You have a knife. They have guns. What are your identities? What are their identities? Why would they fight with you? If you say any more, be careful that the Seedling Protection Team will teach you a lesson. "
When the young man heard this, he was scared. He knew that he would not be able to win against a group of people from the Seedling Protection Team. He had not seen them use knives before. It seemed that they used their hands, arms, knees, and legs to knock them down. Were their fists made of iron?
Especially when they attacked from behind. They held the other person's head and moved their arms. That person's head drooped down. How did they play?
"He's just a child. Don't mind him." Lu Bo was afraid that someone would attack that person, so he said to Wang Miao.
Wang Miao shook his head. "We won't hurt him, but we have to talk to him properly. He said it in front of us. We'll just treat it as a joke. If he says it again when he goes there in the future and others hear it, the consequences …"
"Yes, yes. We have to talk to him properly. If he said that in front of me, I would beat him up. If we go to a crowded place, he will be beaten to death. Brother Wang, sign it? "
Lu Bo suddenly thought of the many Tang people he had met. If that young man had said the same thing, he would definitely not have survived. Once the surrounding people came forward, they would not rest until they were beaten to death. Insulting and belittling the Zhang and Wang Clans was a major crime. There was no law in the law.
It was said that in Xunyang, Xiao Bei and the others were almost bombed, but the locals dug three feet into the ground to find them. If you belittled them, wouldn't you be provoking the entire Great Tang? It would be useless even if you brought the case to Hanyuan Palace Hall. No one in the royal court would dare to speak up for you.
Wang Miao refused. "We can't sign anything for you. Let's go back and tell the little ancestors that there's a new camera. Take a picture of them and get them to sign on the back of the photo. Here, you can give it to your children."
"Camera? What's that? "Lu Bo had never heard of it before.
"It's something that looks more like a real person than a painting. It's still very valuable now," Wang Miao replied.
Lu Bo could tell that it was better than a painting and was very valuable now. Didn't that mean that it could be used in bulk in the future? The price wouldn't be low, but with his family's money, it shouldn't be a problem for him to use it a few times.
Thus, he happily said, "You must remember that my children haven't had the chance to see Xiao Bei and the others. Moreover, they're in Yizhou now. If I don't help them once when I go back, they'll throw a tantrum at me again. I can't bear to hit them when they throw a tantrum. If I hit them too hard …"
"Then you'll be arrested. Don't think that they're your children. Their lives aren't in your hands. I'll send a telegram now and tell the young master and young lady who are waiting at home for news that the rescue was successful. They've been paying attention to this operation and even personally came up with a few plans.
I'll also mention your request while I'm at it. Perhaps the little ancestors will be very happy to know that your children want to see them and take the initiative to look for you. This can be considered a form of consolation for your family before you return home. We won't have to send a message to your family alone. "
Wang Miao turned around again.
"Wait a moment." Lu Bo called out again and said with embarrassment, "Then, you can send the message first. We'll talk later. I was afraid that you wouldn't come back. It wasn't easy to see you, and I have a lot to say. Team Zero, I have something to boast about in the future."
"Someone go and send the message." Wang Miao instructed the person beside him. He could understand Lu Bo's current state of mind. He had just escaped from the jaws of death, and he needed some sort of spiritual comfort. After all, he was only a businessman and not an elite member of the special forces. During the rescue process, one of the reasons was to give the other party psychological counseling. Otherwise, what was the point of rescuing someone who had gone insane after two days?
"Speak. We'll always be by your side, and there will be more people coming. Don't worry." Wang Miao smiled warmly.
Lu Bo stared blankly for a moment before he suddenly understood why the other party was like this. He, who was usually indifferent to the loss of money, once again shed tears. He said, "If I ever do anything wrong to the Tang Empire in the future, I will be struck by lightning. You are indeed the strongest, from the depths of your soul. I will publicize this matter and let all the people of the Tang Empire know what is behind them.
What I want to ask is, how much resources did you guys use to rescue us? My family has some money, and I want to compensate you guys. I can't let you guys spend too much. "
"There's no need. You've already paid the taxes, so it's only right." Wang Miao didn't intend to ask for money. Could it be that he wouldn't rescue them if they didn't have money?
"That's not what I mean. I mean … I won't give you money. I just want to ask how much manpower and resources you guys used so that I can have an idea." Lu Bo changed his way of asking. He knew that he had to do more, or his conscience wouldn't be at ease.
"We didn't use much. We just sent a message back. Then, we sent someone to ask the merchants who maintained the trade route and roughly described what you looked like. Then, they said who you were. After that, it was easy. We directly went to your house and asked about you. Then, we looked for the people who were in contact with you. We got everything out of them."
Wang Miao replied.
"So they'll tell you the moment you ask?"
"What do you think? We'll prove that we're subordinates of Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. "
"Oh! That's right. I'll tell you if you ask me. Everyone in Great Tang is your informant. "Lu Bo understood.
The news of the successful rescue was quickly sent back to Yizhou.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't just receive news from this place. In the past few days, they had successfully rescued two other places, and the last place was already under operation. They believed that there would be news soon because those people had already been drugged.
