After dismissing the villagers, leaving only a few core members around, Yi Xiaotian winked at Fei Zhan, and everyone walked into the house in unison.
It was completely different from the exciting feeling outside. The moment everyone entered the inner room of the ancestral hall, the atmosphere instantly cooled down.
Not only was the atmosphere cold, Yi Xiaotian glanced at everyone and found that except for Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yun, including Fei Zhan, everyone's expressions were quite ugly.
Especially - Sun Feng'er seemed to have lost her soul, her eyes were staring blankly ahead, and her pupils seemed to have lost the brightness of the past.
Seeing this, Yi Xiaotian moved towards Sun Feng'er without leaving a trace. When Sun Feng'er didn't respond, he raised his hand and rubbed her head.
As Sun Feng'er's body trembled slightly, as if she had come back to her senses, Sun Feng'er discovered Yi Xiaotian standing next to her. The moment she raised her head and looked up, her eyes were filled with mist.
Yi Xiaotian gave her a smile as usual and said nothing more. After all, the current atmosphere did not allow him to say private words to Sun Feng'er.
"Lu... Mr. Lu... what on earth is going on? Why do officers and soldiers come to our door for no reason?"
As soon as Fei Zhan opened his mouth, Yi Xiaotian knew that he was no longer calm.
Perhaps because there was still a trace of logic left in his heart, Fei Zhan felt that this matter was definitely not done intentionally by Yi Xiaotian and others, but... apart from this reason, Fei Zhan really couldn't figure it out.
Seeing everyone like this, Yi Xiaotian raised his hand and pressed it down slowly, signaling everyone not to get too excited.
After thinking for a moment, Yi Xiaotian glanced at the nervous Sun Feng'er from the corner of his eyes and said slowly:
"It's pointless to look for a reason for the officers and soldiers to come to our door now."
"What we need to do most is to analyze the current situation first - apart from Feng'er, is there anyone else who has been seen by the officers and soldiers? If so, please tell us..."
Yi Xiaotian remained absolutely calm, because he knew that the two situations he mentioned would lead to completely different results.
If it was only Sun Feng'er who was discovered, then he would naturally have a fairly simple way of dealing with it, and he would not implicate the Shanyue people in the mountains.
But if this group of Shanyue people who have lived in the mountains for a long time are also discovered, the consequences of this matter will become serious.
After Yi Xiaotian asked, several men who could be regarded as the leaders of the hunting team whispered nervously to each other - finally, a slightly younger and muscular man raised his hand with a solemn expression, signaling to Yi Xiaotian that he had someone here.
Condition.
Yi Xiaotian clicked lightly, and the man immediately said:
"Just now... before Miss Sun notified us, several of our group of villagers who went up the mountain to log saw the figures of heavily armed officers and soldiers - we thought they would immediately engage us in close combat, but who knew that just now?
After a while, they have retreated... This..."
This was the first time Fei Zhan heard about this matter, but when he heard the description from his subordinates, he was also confused:
"They retreated first? Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true... We all clearly saw some of them coming with swords in their hands, while only a few of us were equipped with longbows. Due to the disparity in strength, they didn't stay long at all. They turned around and left, disappearing into the forest.
among.”
"Is it possible that these officers and soldiers are not here to oppose us?"
The young man speculated uncertainly, but this sentence was quickly refuted by Yi Xiaotian:
"No! If they were entangled with you at that time, there is no need to worry too much, but the current situation... is actually the worst outcome."
"Mr. Lu, what...what do you mean?"
After Yi Xiaotian said this, everyone was a little surprised and cast suspicious glances at Yi Xiaotian.
I saw Yi Xiaotian frowning slightly, as if feeling pressure, exhaled deeply, and then replied:
"Brother Fei, this group of officers and soldiers that Feng'er and you met this time are probably regular troops under Sun Quan - I don't know what general they were led by -"
"At least...just because the other party still didn't come in to take a look after discovering the enemy's situation, the leader definitely gave them corresponding orders."
"This time... if we don't handle it well, we may really be wiped out."
Yi Xiaotian's words reached everyone's ears. Peng Hu had just led the team to deal with the preparations for the war in the village. He heard Yi Xiaotian's inference as soon as he entered the house.
"What's going on? Is the other party really that powerful?"
Peng Hu suddenly yelled, because through Yi Xiaotian's words, he could not help but recall the painful memories of being defeated by Dong Xi's army - but now Dong Xi is dead, and his inner demons are gone
Except, in the end, Yi Xiaotian made the matter so serious...
"Most likely, three or four hours have passed since Feng'er went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and was discovered, and then she came back. During this time, the other party couldn't help but not attack rashly. If I guessed correctly,
Now there is no trace of them in the mountains."
"And the impact of this result is also very obvious - first of all, no matter who takes the lead on the other side, they can use the power of the army to collect information from the surrounding mountains. You have lived in the mountains for a long time, and you have actually communicated with the surrounding people.
Have you ever had a war with the government? At least when it comes to judging your numbers, the other side has already gained the upper hand——"
"As long as we know the number of people, the opponent will have time to mobilize sufficient troops and horses to defeat us directly with an absolute advantage in strength. So the opponent is not running away, but is just taking this opportunity to mobilize strength."
"Today and tomorrow, maybe they won't take action, but starting from the third day, we may face a regular Soochow army with rich combat experience and powerful weapons and equipment at any time - and such a result naturally does not require me to say much.
Did you say it?"
Yi Xiaotian slowly analyzed the current situation, and even...he still had reservations about the other party's inference of mobilizing troops - if the other party really had the motivation to investigate further, Yi Xiaotian, including Zhao Yun and Lu Lingqi beside him
Your identity may be exposed.
This is also the result that Yi Xiaotian least wants to see.
His remarks caused a stir, which was even more chaotic than when the villagers opposed the ink production.
Because the image of the army, in the eyes of these "losers", is simply an invincible existence.
In front of the army, even Fei Zhan's fists were trembling slightly.
But Yi Xiaotian noticed that apart from the confusion among these people, there was one person among them who actually seemed more nervous than anyone else.
