After the excitement, Gu Xingzhao held tightly the remaining explosive cartridge in his hand. This thing was very powerful. After all, he made it for the Lu family, so he gave it to them for self-protection for the time being.
But if this thing falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions and is developed, it may cause chaos.
Overthrowing the dog emperor is one thing, but causing chaos in the world is another matter.
In order to prevent the things from falling into the hands of anyone other than the Lu family, Gu Xingzhao decided to pick someone from the Lu family to specifically keep such things.
On that day, she did nothing else but observe the Lu family. In terms of closeness, Lu Qing would definitely be the most suitable one, but the old man was a little old after all and could not bear this heavy responsibility.
Naturally, the only candidates that could be considered were Lu Qing's sons and grandsons.
She curled up on the sofa, drinking a drink and stuffing potato chips into her mouth, her eyes fixed on Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou is the eldest son and he is in good health. Last time he was robbed, he stood in front and was stabbed several times, almost losing his life. It can be seen that he is a brave man.
"Brother, I have some left. I will give you some. Don't tell father."
"Second brother, since father has said that today, how can we, as his children, pretend to obey him but secretly disobey him?"
Lu Yang was caught eating secretly and was secretly stuffing the chocolate and compressed biscuits he had hidden before into Lu Zhou's arms, trying to bribe him. "Brother, it's just some food, you don't have to be so obedient."
If I really listen to the old man and eat half as much, how can I survive?
But Lu Zhou is a sincere person, "We must listen to our father, second brother, this is the duty of a child."
Lu Yang didn't want to argue with this stubborn brother, so he ran away with his snacks.
Lu Zhou followed closely behind, trying to persuade his brother.
Watching this scene, Gu Xingzhao silently crossed out the eldest son of the Lu family from his list of considerations. This man was obedient to Lu Qing's words, too stubborn, and lacked foresight. If he was asked to hold the explosive cartridge, even if the enemy's knife was on his neck, he would still have to ask the old man if he could use it. He was really not suitable for carrying such a heavy burden.
Also crossed off the list of candidates for consideration was Lu Yang, the second son of the Lu family.
Needless to say, this guy is a reckless and confused person, as can be seen from the previous incident in Laiyuan Town. If he were allowed to get the explosives cartridge, he would probably blow up the officers and the prisoners who had mocked him before before the enemy arrived.
After eliminating two people at once, Gu Xingzhao turned his attention to Lu Xingyao.
Lu Qing's eldest grandson is extremely talented. He used to be known as the best young master in the capital, although that is not obvious now.
Speaking of familiarity, apart from Lu Qing, the one she is most familiar with among all the people in the Lu family is Lu Xingyao. Lu Qing entrusted all matters, big and small, to this grandson, which shows that he is trustworthy.
He had a different opinion on the kerosene issue, which shows that he has his own ideas.
Gu Xingzhao was almost ready to decide on a candidate to let Lu Xingyao keep the explosive cartridge.
A voice came from afar: "Young Master, let's make a deal. Next time you run into the ancestor during the night watch, you can't keep it to yourself!"
The tribesman who was speaking reluctantly handed Lu Xingyao a box of self-heating hot pot that he had hidden, in order to please him and get some of the favor of the ancestors.
Lu Xingyao didn't hesitate at all, he took the things directly, patted his chest, "Don't worry, I always keep my word!"
Then he collected a lot of things from other clansmen and made guarantees as he did before. In this way, he made guarantees for most of the Lu family members.
Lu Xingyao, who had reaped a lot of rewards, turned around and "paraded around the market" with the things, attracting all his brothers and sisters to follow him. Facing those pairs of watery eyes, he was like a miser and did not spend a penny.
"Grandfather said that everyone should reduce their food intake by half from now on."
Lu Youtang's face was puffed up.
Taking chicken feathers as a token of authority, Lu Xingyao walked even more arrogantly: Well, I just won't give you any to eat, well~
Gu Xingzhao silently crossed out his eldest grandson Lu Xingyao from his list of considerations. He was not steady enough and too conspicuous. At least now he couldn't see his elegance as the number one young master in the capital.
She lay on the sofa and sighed, "Ah, why can't there be someone who is mature, stable, independent and not violent and cruel?"
Lu Xingyao carried his full bamboo basket and walked around in front of his second and third uncles.
Lu Yang's eyes widened. Good boy, you have hidden a lot!
But Lu Xingyan did not react at all. He was as steady as a rock, watching his brother chasing his nephew for food.
Lu Yang panted: "Don't think I don't know, last time it was you who stole two bowls of noodles from me while I was watching You Tang!"
Since the old man asked everyone to eat less, the old man would definitely not give as much as before, so I have to get some back from my nephew!
But Lu Xingyao refused to give it. Seeing that his second uncle was about to grab it, he decisively hid behind his third uncle, leaving his second uncle afraid to bump into him.
Lu Xingyan was already used to it, so he sat quietly aside with his eyes closed.
Gu Xingzhao's eyes lit up. In terms of maturity and stability, although Lu Xingyan was only a few years older than Lu Xingyao, he had never quarreled with the younger generation.
In terms of opinions, he is naturally much more opinionated than his elder brother Lu Zhou, which can be seen from their previous time in Laiyuan Town.
As for being violent and cruel, that is even more impossible. Look at how quiet he is when sitting upright. He never gets anxious even when he has an attack. This shows how gentle his temperament is. He is not the kind of person who would shout for fighting and killing to solve problems.
Moreover, because of his poor health, Lu Xingyan had no sense of existence in the eyes of others except the Lu family.
Looking at everything, he is the most suitable person to hold the explosive cartridge.
Thinking of this, Gu Xingzhao looked at Lu Xingyan, and the more he looked at her, the more satisfied he was: It's you!
She immediately got up and went back to the bedroom. Because this matter couldn't go through Lu Qing, she had to get a detailed graphic description of the explosive cartridge and hand it over to Lu Xingyan along with the explosive cartridge.
At this time, Lu Xingyan didn't know that he was about to be entrusted with an important task. He sat there, feeling inexplicably cold down his spine, as if someone was staring at him.
That night, Gu Xingzhao took advantage of the dead of night and sent the thing to Lu Xingyan's arms. Her instruction manual was very detailed with both pictures and texts. She believed that with Lu Xingyan's intelligence, there should be no problem.
Gu Xingzhao didn't dare to get close to Lu Xingyan, fearing that he might get into trouble again like before, and then his 188,000 marrow cleansing pills would be wasted.
He didn't feel the suffocation, but found a lot of bamboo tubes in his arms. Lu Xingyan's eyes were blank, and he opened the paper in his hand to look at it.
When he opened it, he froze in his tracks, his mind racing. Looking at the explosion scene Gu Xingzhao had casually printed out on the paper, he was greatly shocked. This was...
"!!!"
The ancestor is passing on the art of controlling fire to himself?!
Gu Xingzhao almost burst out laughing. Control... the art of controlling fire?
