Hearing Ding Peng's promise, Zhishan smiled slightly. Now she had no choice but to rely on this strange man. She knew that this man must not be an ordinary person and could definitely help her.
The next day, a banquet began in the village, but this banquet was to welcome Jin Yuan's mercenary group. To the village, the people in the mercenary group were already considered big shots.
‘I wonder if these people know about the city of Shanli?’ Bello asked.
‘I know.’ Zhishan touched Bello’s head and smiled.
"The largest family in Shanli City, the Huanrui family, and the current patriarch of the Huanrui family: Lord Huanjian, are all great people." Bello said.
‘Fantasy Sword?’ Ding Peng was stunned when he heard this familiar name. It’s so familiar. Why does he feel so familiar with this unfamiliar name?
At this time, not long after, more than a dozen tables were filled with people, and Ding Peng also sat at the top because he was following Zhishan. This is where the mercenary group sat, and where the village chief and the three elders sat.
Although it was not the first time for the surrounding villagers to see such mercenaries, it was their first time to have dinner at the same table. Everyone was pointing and discussing. In their eyes, the people of the mercenary group were definitely the ones they looked up to.
.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Jin Yuan is the most promising person in our Jinyuan Village. Now these few are mercenaries working in the Five Elements Continent. They all have unique skills." De Lao pointed at Jin Yuan and others.
people said.
The villagers below all started to applaud, and Yaya kept squinting. The leader showed no expression, Gott smiled and nodded, and Bateng also had a smile on his face at this time. Obviously, the welcome of these villagers made them
I feel extremely vain.
Bello looked around excitedly, while Ding Peng looked at these mercenaries who were known as big shots, but for some reason he was unusually calm!
‘In the future, with their protection, our village will always be safe, far away from bandits, and no one will be able to bully us.’ De Lao said with a smile.
‘Oh oh oh.’ The villagers below began to cheer.
‘Thank you very much, Captain, this time.’ Jin Yuan said softly.
"Since you are a member of our mercenary group, don't talk about this trivial matter." The leader waved his hand.
At this time, Yaya walked up to Jin Yuan, "Jin Yuan? Is this the woman you have always liked?" Yaya asked, pointing to Zhishan.
Zhishan frowned. Was this the reason why she had been feeling uneasy?
Jin Yuan smiled and said, 'Yes, her name is Zhishan, but she is the savior of our village. Although she has no magic power or fighting spirit, she is kind-hearted and virtuous with her medical skills!'
"Really? What a charming girl, Jin Yuan, you are so lucky!" Gott said with an evil smile, looking Zhishan up and down. If it weren't for this being Jin Yuan's goal, no one would know this.
What kind of things would Goth do?
'Haha, thank you very much, but people don't like me.' Jin Yuan said with a smile.
The village chief did not stop him, and Mr. De was not easy to talk to. After all, the people here are not the ones in Jinyuan Village who can be offended. "Look down on you? No way? Jinyuan, you are very good." Yaya said with a look on his face.
surprise.
‘Miss Zhishan, what’s wrong with Jin Yuan?’ asked the group leader.
'It's not bad, it's...' Zhishan was interrupted by the group leader's words before she could finish her sentence. 'Since it's good, that's all. I've made the decision today, so you might as well just be together. We can also protect Jinyuan Village in the future, right?
?We are all a family.'
'Hey, Captain, please don't embarrass her, she seems to have someone else in her heart.' Jin Yuan pretended to sigh...
"You have someone in your heart, right? Who is it?" Yaya looked around deliberately.
"Tell me, who is it?" the leader asked with a deliberate frown.
‘Forget it, Captain, don’t ask. I respect her choice!’ Jin Yuan said with a sigh.
Ding Peng looked on and felt speechless. Although Ding Peng had lost his memory, it did not mean that his wisdom had disappeared. Seeing these people acting here, Ding Peng felt a little off-putting, but Zhishan did not ask him for help.
So Ding Peng didn't speak, and De Lao also felt that the atmosphere was not right, but the village chief's eyes signaled him not to speak.
In desperation, Mr. De and the two elders had no choice but to remain silent. After all, the village chief still had the final say. As long as they didn't go too far, everything would be fine.
‘Tell me, I want to see who can make this lady not choose you?’ The leader asked deliberately.
Bello was still young and didn't understand the reason. He just felt that his sister looked ugly, "Sister, are you okay?"
"Sister, it's okay." Zhishan smiled in front of her.
‘This is him, an outsider from our village!’ Jin Yuan suddenly pointed at Ding Peng.
"He is not an outsider. He has been accepted by Jinyuan Village and given the name: Yuanli! This is what De Lao said personally, and your father, the village chief, also agreed." Zhishan said.
"Yes, yes, I was confused. Now he is a member of our village." Jin Yuan patted his forehead and said.
Ding Peng suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked at everyone with a blank expression, "What's wrong?"
‘Just him? He does look like a human being, but Miss Zhishan, I’m not telling you, what’s the use of such a man? He’s just an ordinary farmer.’ Yaya said disdainfully.
Ding Peng did not refute, but Zhishan sighed in her heart, it would be great if she was really a farmer, and Gott also said, "Haha, that is to say, Miss Zhishan, the future of Jinyuan will definitely be unlimited, you have to think carefully about it."
.You said so, Batten?'
At this time, Ba Teng, who had been eating silently, raised his head and looked at Ding Peng with what he thought was the scariest expression, "Yes, Jin Yuan is my brother, who dares to offend him, hum!" Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was obvious.
.
At this time, the group leader also said, 'Let's do this. According to the rules of the Five Elements Continent, the stronger one wins. This is the fairest!'
At this time, even Bello understood it. They wanted to teach Ding Peng a lesson, but he, a child, couldn't get in the way. He just looked angry, and De Lao's face turned ugly. "Everyone, isn't this bad?"
‘Mr. De, this matter is none of your business. The mercenaries have their own way of solving things!’ The village chief stood up and said.
De Lao sat down angrily. Obviously, it was no longer something that the elders could change at this time. "How about it? Boy, are you willing to accept the challenge?" Gott asked arrogantly.
Ding Peng was stunned. Why should he accept the challenge? At this moment, he happened to see Zhishan's eyes asking for help. Ding Peng was speechless, "You said I would help you, is this it?"
‘Zhishan, do you actually want him to help you?’ Jin Yuan asked in disbelief.
Several other mercenaries burst out laughing, but they also understood that they were from a remote mountain village after all and had never seen the world. 'How about Yuanli, do you dare? If you don't dare, get out of the village in the future.'
Jin Yuan said.
"Why are you?" Ding Peng was also a little angry.
"Why? With my strength." Jin Yuan said proudly.
"Strength?" Ding Peng was stunned. "Don't bully others too much." Zhishan also stood up. The surrounding villagers also felt that something was wrong. The atmosphere here seemed wrong.
‘Too much bullying? You are wrong, Miss Zhishan. In the Five Elements Continent, the strong are respected. You must know this, right? We are just doing things according to the rules.’ The leader said, spreading his hands.
'You...' Zhishan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Ding Peng suddenly stood in front of her. 'Okay, I accept it. This is to repay your life-saving grace.' Seeing Ding Peng's thick back
, Zhishan suddenly felt a warmth and a sense of security permeated the air, but Ding Peng's next words completely woke her up, 'Is it just repaying a favor?'
‘Okay, kid, don’t blame me for being ruthless!’ Jin Yuan said ferociously.
Ding Peng's expression remained unchanged, but suddenly, the ground began to shake... and the bowls and utensils on the table began to shake.
Smoke billowed from the city in the distance, and no one knew what was going on. At this moment, the golden bell of Jinyuan Village suddenly rang, and the faces of De Lao and the village chief changed drastically...
‘What’s wrong?’ asked the leader, why would such an accident happen at such a critical moment?
‘Sister?’ Bello was a little scared…
‘Don’t be afraid, sister is here, don’t be afraid.’ Zhishan also looked into the distance with a worried look on her face…
‘Everyone, I’m afraid I need your help this time!’ At this time, De Lao stood up and said.
"Help? What's going on?" the leader asked with a frown.
"The bandits are here. Last time, members of the Huanrui family happened to come to Jinyuan Village and helped us fight them off. This time they come back, they must be well prepared. Our village alone will probably..." De
The old man's face is ugly. They all only know a few farm tricks, and it is difficult for them to be elegant.
"Bandits? Don't worry, leave it to us." Jin Yuan said, this time is the opportunity to make a contribution. As long as he beats away the bandits, his status in the village will be higher. Then he can marry Zhishan.
Not a problem anymore.
"Please act with kindness, I will definitely thank you greatly afterwards." At this time, Mr. De had no choice, and it was not something that could be solved by knowledge now.
‘Okay, we will help you with this.’ The leader said, at this time Gott, Yaya, and Bateng all stood up.
Ding Peng also looked at the dust in the distance. He didn't know why, but he didn't feel a trace of fear in his heart. Instead, he felt some faint disdain. Ding Peng didn't know why he had such thoughts!
It is self-evident that a group of mercenaries blocking the front gives everyone a sense of security, but are these bandits really something that these third-rate mercenaries can deal with?
At this time, the bandits finally revealed their true colors in Lushan. If you look closely, you can see that there are quite a lot of people, about two hundred people. The leader has dark skin and muscles that look very coordinated. He is not like Bateng.
It gives people a feeling of dead flesh, but this person is like a cheetah. There are six different weapons on his back, and a pair of eyes with sharp eyes. Most people would not dare to look at him!
