Chapter 321 - 315: One More Update
"Eunuch Cang Er, you’re putting me in a difficult position," Lord Lu was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, having given all the scattered weapons brought by the guards’ carriage to the prisoners—and even then, it was less than ten sets. At this moment, with no village ahead and no shop behind, where could he find more?
Upon hearing this, Cang Er panicked. The Commandery Princess had come up with this ploy without considering whether they had enough arms. Cang Er was about to turn and report when suddenly he noticed the weapons at the guards’ waists. Right now, there was no room for hesitation.
"Lord Lu, quick, take a look! How many weapons do your guards have?" Cang Er said, already pulling a sword from a guard’s waist to toss to Lu Hu, who immediately understood Cang Er’s intentions.
"But, but—what if His Highness is in danger and all of them are unarmed?"
"What could possibly happen? How long do you think these prisoners will survive? Once the field is cleared, you can just pick them up again," urged Cang Er swiftly. "Hurry up, His Highness is waiting."
Seeing no other option, Lu Hu grit his teeth and summoned the guards he had brought along, barely managing to gather thirty or forty weapons.
The prisoners, upon seeing the weapons thrown in front of them, hesitated to touch them.
"Pick them up—"
The guards continued to herd the group of prisoners, and the gate of the enclosure slowly opened. The prisoners looked at each other—one picked up a weapon, and the others followed suit.
