Chapter: 1189

Wu Donghai furrowed his brow, "If the Eight Great Heavenly Kings don't intervene, I'm afraid we'll be unable to retrieve Longbaishan's father-son pair......"

Wu Xin said, "But if we continue waiting like this, we won't know when Grandpa will wake up."

As he spoke, Wu Xin added, "In my opinion, it would be better to send some secondary experts over to try out a few things first this time. We'll send more people over."

Wu Donghai thought for a moment and lightly nodded his head, saying, "Waiting is not an option. Since that's the case, let's send someone over first."

Wu Xin said at this point, "Dad, I'm not really sure why you want to find those enemies of Ye Chen's. In my opinion, those people are all just trivialities. What kind of good can they do against Ye Chen?"

Wu Donghai replied blandly, "Last time we were too arrogant and suffered a big loss because of it. This time, we need to stabilize ourselves first and observe the situation for a while longer before sending someone over."

As he spoke, Wu Donghai added, "When waging war between two armies, one should not reveal their main force prematurely. Instead, they should find some cannon fodder to go ahead and probe the enemy's position. Once the enemy opens fire, we can then pinpoint the location of their firepower and eliminate it. Then our main force can press down on them, and they'll be sure to die without a doubt."

"If we send our main force over directly, what if they get hit by the enemy's firepower first? That would be like being swept away by a wave, wouldn't it?"

Wu Xin received his father's point, nodded slightly: "I understand what you mean, Father."

Wu Donghai hummed and said: "Since we're looking for cannon fodder, we'll definitely find those who have a grudge against the enemy. Because these people will not care about anything, fear death, and charge forward recklessly. Such as the Shao family's son-in-law, Qian Hongyan, who was sent to the black coal pit, or Shao Yiqi, who cannot perform rituals, even those who were beaten by Ye Chen in the past - they're all excellent choices for cannon fodder!"

As he spoke, Wu Donghai asked Wu Xin: "Has the rescue team left for Qian Hongyan?"

Wu Xin hurriedly replied: "They've already left!"

Over the past few days, Qian Hongyan could be said to have lived a year in a single day.

As the eldest son-in-law of the Shao family, she had always been spared from hardships and crimes. On the contrary, during those years when the Shao family was in its heyday, Qian Hongyan's life was also very prosperous.

So Qian Hongyan couldn't say she'd lived a lifetime of silk and jade, but it was still a good day-to-day life. Now she's fallen to digging coal nonstop in the black coal pit, and this kind of life is even more painful than hell.

However, Qian Hongyan was one of those people sent to the black coal pit by Ye Chen, and she lived a relatively comfortable life among them.

Those men were being tortured one by one, no longer looking like humans, having to work for 15-16 hours a day in the black coal pit, without enough food and warmth, their bones already wasting away.

Old Qian Hongyan's life was also not easy, as she was ugly and didn't please the overseer, so her daily routine and labor were no different from those men.

Qian Hongyan was only slightly better off because she herself was a big madam, looked good, took care of herself well, although her age was getting on, but she still had some vitality left, which made her very appealing to the overseer's eyes.

So Qian Hongyan gradually became the overseer's mistress in the black coal pit, spending all night pampering and pleasing the smelly and dirty overseer, which somewhat improved her life.

At least she didn't have to work as much, had more time to rest, and most importantly, ate better than others.

However, this kind of life was still unbearable for Qian Hongyan.

That overseer, although having supreme power and authority in the black coal pit, was basically just a rural old man who was extremely slovenly and didn't care about personal hygiene, sometimes not washing once every two weeks.

But Qian Hongyan had no choice but to suppress her disgust and please him, trying to win his favor.

At night, Qian Hongyan had just finished serving the overseer and emerged from the brick room in disarray. JrNovels.com
