Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1757: Inspiring Generals

Wan Shufang smiled faintly and was about to speak when Han Yi hurriedly walked in and said, "I walked all over the city and didn't find any saltpeter. After asking around, I found out that the saltpeter was bought out by Wen Baicao three months ago."

"This is actually happening!" Wan Shufang was slightly shocked.

Three months ago? Wasn't that when Wen Baicao bought herbs from them? It turned out that Wen Baicao had been preparing for the matter in Fulu Town at that time. Chen Changli's heart sank slightly when he thought of this.

"Shufang, can saltpeter be replaced?" Chen Changli asked, hiding his thoughts.

Wan Shufang shook her head: "Saltpeter is the key to making fire bombs. It is irreplaceable."

"There is no saltpeter in Yongzhou City. What should we do?" Han Yi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"We have them, but in small quantities." The Taoists spoke up immediately after hearing this.

"You guys use these saltpeter to research fire bombs first. I'll find a way to raise some more." Chen Changli said immediately.

"How are you going to raise the funds?" Wan Shufang was very worried.

She wanted to use the hospital space to help, but Han Yi had just checked Yongzhou City. If she suddenly took out a large amount of saltpeter, wouldn't that expose the hospital space?

"I will contact Shopkeeper Wang." Chen Changli hinted.

Wan Shufang understood immediately and said with a smile, "Manager Wang is a medicinal material merchant, and in the troubled times, his medicinal material business is growing bigger and bigger. If we contact him, we will definitely have an endless supply of saltpeter."

Chen Changli nodded: "Manager Wang has many people under his command. As long as we find one, we can get in touch with him. Hanyi, leave this to you. Shufang and I will go out to find someone."

"I'll leave everything up to you and your wife." Han Yi readily agreed, then took his men and a Taoist priest back to move the saltpeter.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang took a walk around the slums, preparing to find a secret location to place the saltpeter.

As soon as he found a place, Chen Changli realized something was wrong. He gave Wan Shufang a wink and pounced towards the bushes in the left front like a tiger pouncing on its prey. In the blink of an eye, he knocked a thin figure to the ground.

"Wen Ziyu, why is it you?"

Chen Changli grabbed the man's neck and flipped him over with great force.

After seeing the face clearly, he was slightly surprised, because this man was Wen Ziyu, and in the warm sunlight, his face was pale without a trace of blood, but his eyes were bright without the slightest hint of decadence.

"It's me, let me go!" Wen Ziyu stared at Chen Changli, as if he was staring at someone he loved deeply, with affectionate eyes.

Chen Changli felt his scalp tingling, and he quickly let go of him and stepped back. "Didn't you go to Fulu Town with Wen Baicao?"

Wen Ziyu touched his neck, stood up, and said with a forced smile: "My father dislikes me and deliberately left me here."

"You are lying." Wan Shufang stared at him closely and noticed that he looked unnatural. She shouted without thinking.

Wen Ziyu's face froze for a moment, then he calmly said, "My father only has me as his son. If he doesn't love me, who else can he love?"

Chen Changli was greatly surprised because Wen Ziyu was clearly emphasizing that Wen Baicao loved him.

"What do you know?" Chen Changli asked firmly.

Inexplicable emotions surged in his heart, and the smile on Wen Ziyu's face became brighter and brighter: "What can I know, don't you know?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli.

Seeing a flash of solemnity in his eyes, Wan Shufang concealed her feelings and said, "Wen Ziyu, you have been abandoned by Wen Baicao, right? You know this, but you don't want to admit it."

"Ridiculous." Wen Ziyu was so angry that he trembled all over.

"We now have a new discovery, that is, Tu Yuanzhou may be Wen Baicao's child, your brother." Chen Changli's words were like knives, stabbing Wen Ziyu's heart.

Wen Ziyu refuted strongly: "This is impossible."

Chen Changli's expression was calm but somewhat cold: "Your mother is from Wulan. No matter how much Wen Baicao loves you, he will feel uncomfortable with this, so he can't be sincere to you."

Wan Shufang echoed: "Wen Baicao is bent on revenge, you are his pawn for revenge, and Tu Yuanzhou is his hope. In order to help Tu Yuanzhou, he chose to die with the prince and his men."

After a pause, Wan Shufang sighed, "Parental love is profound and heavy, but it does not belong to you, Wen Ziyu, you are a smart person. I think you know the true attitude of Wen Baicao, otherwise you would not be obsessed with Tu Zhizhi."

She used to think that Wen Ziyu was a love-brained person, but now she thinks about it, she realizes that Wen Ziyu wants to realize his self-worth through Tu Zhizhi so that Wen Baicao will look at him with new eyes.

"How is he?" Wen Ziyu should have sneered and refuted, but after a long silence, he suddenly asked about Wen Baicao.

Chen Changli was extremely calm: "He is dead."

Wen Ziyu was not surprised at all and said calmly: "I found a letter when I went to Fulu Town, and then I knew why his attitude towards me was so hot and cold."

"I was very unwilling to ask him for an explanation, but he completely abandoned me. During the time he was gone, I hid in Yongzhou City like a beggar, and my life was precarious. That's why I figured out a lot of things."

"But I didn't know Tu Yuanzhou was his child. If you want to learn something from me, it's undoubtedly a pipe dream."

He ended up speaking very rudely, obviously protesting against the ruthlessness of Chen Changli and his wife.

Chen Changli saw through his thoughts at a glance, paused, and finally had doubts in his heart, so he said: "If you surrender, I am willing to help you destroy Wen Baicao's plan."

Wen Ziyu felt uncomfortable and said sarcastically, "You were going to deal with him anyway, and he's dead."

"He is dead, but the people he helped wholeheartedly are still alive. Don't you want to find out how you are worse than him?" Wan Shufang used provocation.

Wen Ziyu sneered: "Wan Shufang, don't try to provoke me. I won't fall for it."

Just as Wan Shufang was about to speak, a bell suddenly rang out from the dry well next to her. "Who's there?"

Chen Changli subconsciously protected Wan Shufang behind him, his eyes fixed vigilantly on the dry well.

A moment later, Yanran, wearing a red dress, climbed out of the dry well and said with a smile, "It's me. Are you surprised to see me?"

Surprise? More like shock. When Wan Shufang saw that it was her, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Aren't you in Meizhou? Why are you here?"

"Liu Yaoyao and I came together." Yanran smiled sweetly, without any gloom, "Wan Shufang, we came here following the prince."

Wan Shufang heard what she meant, her expression paused for a moment and said, "You and the prince have reached a tacit understanding."

"He and I had a tacit understanding, but Liu Yaoyao wanted to kill him. If it weren't for me, he would have died in Meizhou long ago." Yanran shook the bell on her body, her smile slightly restrained, but her voice was crisp and pleasant.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Changli's thousands of words were condensed into one word of thanks.

Yanran lowered her eyes and said, "He sees me as a human being, so I should save his life. However, Liu Yaoyao is different from me. She hates everyone because of Chang Xuewei's deception and wants you to die. So you have to hurry up and escape. You can't stay here any longer."
