When Chen Mo returned to the village, the sky was already dyed red by the setting sun, but the atmosphere in the village did not become deserted because of the approaching night, but instead became more lively.
There were many new faces in the village, and Shui Yanhuan saw Chen Mo and Chen Mo appear in front of them. Those who knew them greeted them in various ways, while those who didn't knew them looked at the young man in confusion.
"Hey, the deputy hall master is back. Come on, come on, I just want to introduce you." He Qiu looked at this deputy hall master who could bring him good luck and was very attentive.
"These two are the two heads of Fengmen Village. They came not long after you left, making your trip in vain."
With that said, He Qiu introduced brother Feng Tianwei: "This is our deputy hall master."
"I asked why there is no one in the village. It turns out that I am here. Looking at the situation, I am just being sentimental." Chen Mo said happily as he looked at them.
"How could it be? The result is the same and the process is not important." He Qiu comforted others.
"This deputy hall master is really young." Feng Tianwei said with his hands crossed, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
"Strength has nothing to do with age." He Dou said.
"I'm tired. Let's go back to the room and rest." Chen Mo said and left without talking to them more.
"Don't you want to eat some?" He Qiu looked at Chen Mo's leaving figure and asked, although he knew the answer in his heart.
"No, I ate at Fengmen Village before, and I still have something to eat. By the way, I found two jugs of good wine there. I couldn't resist the temptation and drank it. I hope the brothers in Fengmen Village don't mind."
Feng Tianwei raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the two bottles of wine were his collection. Feng Tianwu on the side said first, "It doesn't matter, just think of it as a meeting gift to save the deputy hall master."
After Chen Mo and the others left, He Qiucai said: "Don't mind, you two. Our deputy hall master's temper is a bit strange. Just get used to it and you'll be fine."
"It doesn't matter." Feng Tianwu shook his head and said, "The woman next to the deputy hall master is..."
Although Zhaodi is still dressed as a boy, her appearance is no longer disguised as a man. After all, no one in the village knows that she is a woman, so it is not surprising that she can be recognized.
"Uh...this..." He Qiu hesitated for a while, but still didn't say the words "Vice Hall Master's exclusive woman". "A person who takes care of the Deputy Hall Master's daily life, the Deputy Hall Master.
..."
Afterwards, He Qiu told them about Chen Mo's ten down-and-out young men. As for Zhao Di, a snatched woman, he just brushed it off.
the other side.
When Chen Mo returned to the room, Zhao Di asked him as soon as he entered the door: "Why is that person looking at me?"
"Huh? Who?"
"Do you know who I'm talking about? What did you do to them yesterday?" Zhao Di asked. Before, Feng Tianwu had been looking at her, as if there was something wrong with her.
"Oh~ you are talking about him, that Feng Tianwu who looks at you with a leering look? Maybe he has a crush on you, why don't you think about it? If he does, it won't be difficult to avenge you." Chen Mo said seriously.
.
"You can also help me get revenge, or should I consider you?"
"That's not okay. I am someone you can't reach."
"..."
...
The news that Fengmen Village was incorporated into Yuzhongtang spread quickly in this area. Those small groups that were still scattered seemed to realize that something was wrong and began to try to join the group to keep warm.
Over at Heishui Village, some people began to worry about this Yuzhongtang who quickly reported to the group for no reason. Information about this Yuzhongtang was soon placed in front of the seven talkers in Heishui Village.
"Has He Qiu's realm been greatly improved?"
"Maybe, otherwise how could an inconspicuous Yuzhongtang allow Feishe Village and Fengmen Village, both of which are stronger than them, to surrender?"
"After taking the lead, other villages have followed suit, which poses a considerable threat to us."
"I said at the beginning that they would solve everything without leaving any one behind, so wouldn't there be no problems at all?"
"It's just easy to say, but if you really make them anxious and bite us all together, it will be even worse."
"Is there any difference in the current situation? Everyone knows He Qiu's heart."
"So what should we do now?"
"Let me interject, no matter what you want to do, you have to wait until the matter with Qianjiao Island is finished. There is no delay there, or you can be correct and pretend that I didn't say anything." Someone interrupted and said, this person
He didn't sit at the main table, but in a darker corner.
After the person finished speaking, the scene became quiet for a while, and then resumed the previous topic.
"Brother, tell me what to do."
Everyone looked at the leader.
"Half of the Thousand Keys Island thing has been completed, and the rest won't take much time. When that thing is finished, we will take action on Yuzhongtang. We were merciful in the past. We ate meat and let them drink soup. Now, just
I won’t even give them soup.”
"I'm just saying, it should have been like this a long time ago. Damn it. By the way, that girl named Lei is in Yuzhongtang. I wonder if she went to Heqiu's bed. When Yuzhongtang is cleaned up, this bitch
Be mine."
"Lao Wu, it's a bit overwhelming to make a reservation before it even starts."
"Oh, I hear you mean to compete with me. Don't think that if you sit in the fourth position, I will let you go."
Seeing them start to argue, others joined in the fun, and the man who was the boss silently left with the man sitting in the shadows.
.......
In the next period of time, some changes occurred on the hilltop in the southwest area of Sendai County where Yuzhongtang is located. After Yuzhongtang absorbed two forces, there was no further movement. I don’t know what they were doing, and some other small
Although the forces have not merged together, they have formed an alliance. Their external slogan is: Don't cause trouble, and don't be afraid of trouble. In other words, you can do whatever you want in secret, but don't come to us, otherwise, haha.
Blackwater Village saw two forces that were ready to compete with it, but it was not anxious at all and still managed its major affairs with peace of mind.
It seems that this area has stabilized. In fact, many people know that the alliance is for self-protection. Without a real leader, it is impossible to seize the territory and it is difficult to distribute the benefits.
As for Yuzhongtang, although it seems to be in a corner, many people believe that the ambitious He Qiu must be making big moves, either with the Alliance or Blackwater Village. Most people think that the Alliance side is theirs.
Target.
In such seemingly quiet but undercurrent days, the hot summer is coming quietly.
...
Shinshui County, Sendai County’s neighbor, is the territory of King Donghai. King Donghai, who has worshiped martial arts since he was a child, seems to have found his true self here. The clean-up operation since the beginning of spring has achieved a lot, and the serious disease of bandits in Shinshui County has been cured.
It was very effective. All the bandit dens of small and medium-sized forces were wiped out. Very few bandits survived under the iron heel of the King of East China Sea. As for the more powerful bandit dens, they were kept by the King of East China Sea. Some tried to contact the East China Sea.
The king's bandit leaders were all ruthlessly rejected. It seemed that the palace wanted to deny them a way to survive.
At this time, these bandits began to complain, thinking that they were just an idle prince, just like another prince from Canglang Prefecture. They just wanted to let him eat, drink, have fun and not worry. Now it seems that this King of Donghai is determined to make them
disappear.
The bandits were worried, but the people here were happy. At first they hid in their houses and shivered when they heard the sound of horse hooves. Later, they found out that these officers and soldiers, who were more brightly dressed than the officers and soldiers they had seen before, went to suppress the bandits, and they
It was not just a formality, it was a real suppression of bandits. Wherever they went, there were no bandits, and they immediately became happy. So much so that later on, when the people heard the sound of horse hooves, they were even happier than the sound of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.
, some common people also led the way for the officers and soldiers who came to suppress the bandits, which also saved a lot of trouble.
In short, in an instant, the name of King of the East China Sea spread throughout Xinshui County.
In the palace of Louhuang City, King Donghai, who had a murderous aura, went home to rest for a few days, mainly to bring back the confiscated property.
"Your Majesty, how many days will you stay here this time?" The princess brought the prince a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table next to him.
"I will probably stay longer when I come back this time, and have a few celebration banquets by the way, otherwise some people will not be able to sit still." The prince picked up the tea cup, blew it a few times, and said. "How is the family lately? Several waves of people have come here.
?”
"Not many, just four or five waves, all with near misses." The princess said as she sat down at a table nearby.
"It seems that we still haven't caught the big fish." The prince said with some regret, as if he didn't care too much about the princess's safety.
"Perhaps my young bait is not attractive enough, maybe the prince has to think of a better bait."
"Better bait? If you don't want to eat this, why do you want to eat me? Oh, aren't they afraid of choking to death?" The prince just took a sip of tea and put it down. Then, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Okay.
Well, I will go out for a while, meet a few people, and won’t be back for dinner.”
After saying that, the prince shook his sleeves and walked out with his head held high. Outside the door, he met the woman who was guarding the princess. He just glanced at her and continued to leave.
After the prince left, the princess sat down again and poured herself a cup of tea that she had been preparing for a long time.
"Princess, where are you going?" The woman outside the house came in and looked at the princess who showed no emotion and said.
"Miss Mingyue, sit down and try the tea I just made. It's tea from Changjing." The princess pointed to the seat aside and asked the woman to sit down.
The woman took the tea cup, smelled it, and said, "I don't understand tea, so I'm afraid it will be wasted."
"It would be a waste not to drink." As she said this, the princess also picked up the teacup, closed it and smelled it, seeming to enjoy it. "The taste of home."
The woman looked at the princess's movements, imitated them, and said: "It feels like a foreign country."
