Chen Yuxin spoke in a cold voice, and her power came straight at her!
The mayor was so shocked that he lowered his body even lower, clasping his fists tightly and not daring to say a word.
He didn't dare to say anything, but others had already seen through everything.
With a cold look, he began to admonish.
"Mayor Xu."
"Your Qinghe Town is under the jurisdiction of our Yecheng, so you are naturally a part of Yecheng. As the saying goes, 'Everything is prosperous, and every loss is a loss.' Now there will be a war between our Yecheng and Liangcheng. If Yecheng is defeated, your Qinghe Town
Is it possible to survive?"
"By then, the losses in Qinghe Town will probably be more than a thousand strong men."
"This truth probably doesn't need to be explained by this lady, right?"
Although the words are ruthless, they are to the point.
In the face of a battle that concerns the interests of the city, the affiliated towns can only try their best to help each other. Otherwise, if they lose the battle, will they be able to survive?
This eldest lady looks young, but after all, she comes from the city lord's palace. She only has the overall outcome in her eyes. Ordinary human life does not have much weight to her. Remember the website
This is the courage of those in power.
As for the ordinary people in Qinghe Town, they can only obey orders. The so-called strong man is respected, which has been the case since ancient times. Even the mayor is nothing more than a servant in the eyes of others.
Facing such a powerful big shot.
The mayor lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, and could only answer with difficulty.
"What the lady said is absolutely true..."
"For the sake of the overall situation, we in Qinghe will gather a thousand strong men to join the army to ensure victory in this battle!"
After hearing the words of submission, Chen Yuxin nodded lightly and continued to move forward. With a look of concern in her eyes, she asked about the various conditions in Qinghe Town.
The mayor and the old patriarch had rich experience, so they naturally knew that these were just words for the occasion, but they did not dare to disobey them. They could only accompany them and continue to respond, their hearts almost sinking to the bottom.
at the same time.
Under the big locust tree at the street corner.
A few old men had seen the excitement and came back to chat as usual. After working hard all their lives, they had long looked down on everything. Enjoying daily leisure is the greatest blessing. The so-called big shots are just chatting materials after tea and dinner. There is no need for them.
worry.
Unexpectedly, before they chatted for long, the legendary Mr. Yi Feng also arrived.
The old men suddenly felt excited, and with their admiration for this "Wenquxing", the conversation started immediately.
A few cups of tea and bursts of laughter.
Seeing that the elegant young gentleman had the same leisurely and comfortable demeanor as them, and seemed to be looking after the elderly, the several old men were surprised and suddenly felt closer to him, as if they had found someone with the same ideals.
The more we chatted, the more speculative it became.
One toothless old man even recounted his glorious deeds back then.
"Mr. Yi."
"I'll tell you the truth. Don't look at me, old man. I have no teeth now. Back then, I was a handsome young man from all over the country! Fifty years ago, I had thick eyebrows and big eyes. The matchmaker who proposed to marry me would touch the doorstep of our house.
It’s almost flattened!”
The beaming expression, combined with the eloquent speech, looked very happy, and immediately made a group of brothers laugh.
"Hahaha……"
"This old Liu is blowing again!"
"Hey, it's just a few words every time. Can you change it to a new one?"
No matter how teasing the old men looked, the old man always looked proud, as if he was used to people teasing him, and he just asked Yi Feng.
"Tell me, old man, I was considered a handsome young man back then, right? Guess what happened next?"
Yi Feng smiled and responded curiously.
"What happened next?"
The old man was very satisfied when he heard the sound, and then sighed with emotion!
"Hi!"
"How can I be young and ignorant? I think I am a hottie, but I just don't like our girl from Qinghe Town. I have to go to Yecheng to see the world!"
"It sounds like a sin. I was lucky enough to go to Yecheng and work as a servant for a wealthy family. The second lady of that family was very kind to me. Every time I led the horse, she would cover her mouth and chuckle...
…”
"Tsk, tsk, now that I think about it, that lady is really handsome!"
The toothless old man looked up at the sky with a look of afterthought.
It seems that the sweet smile in his memory is enough to heal all kinds of dissatisfaction. Even now, when he thinks about it, it is still fresh in his memory.
In this intoxicating atmosphere, the old man next to him burst out laughing.
"Just blow it!"
"If people were really that kind to you, you would have become the son-in-law of a wealthy family in Yecheng!"
"Bah, the old guy is still so sentimental!"
"Young people don't know the good things about the village, so they mistake the young lady for a treasure!"
"Are you sorry?!"
As soon as the sinister joke came out, the toothless old man stared back.
I glanced at my old friend a few times.
The dissatisfaction on his face finally turned into helplessness, and he shook his head with a smile on his red face.
"Why……"
"I regret it, I regret it!"
"I was really young and ignorant at that time. Now I can understand many things, but as I get older, it's too late."
At the end of his speech, there was still a bit of pride in his eyes.
"You guys are laughing your ass off!"
"At least, I was also a handsome young man back then, so I'm much better than you!"
The angry expression of an old child provoked another burst of laughter.
When you live to their age, you have reached the end of your life, you have seen through everything, you laugh and talk every day, and occasionally recall the past, you are the happiest and most comfortable time.
Seeing the old brothers chatting freely, Yi Feng was also infected by this down-to-earth atmosphere of life. He smiled and nodded in response, while personally pouring tea for the old brothers.
Tea is like floating life, full of sweet, bitter and pregnant flavors.
Life is like tea, a cup of tea fills the world.
Living in the most ordinary life, Yi Feng only felt that his heart was quiet, and everything became pure and simple. Even his favorite tea seemed to linger between his lips and teeth, retaining the most authentic and indifferent taste.
this moment.
He forgot all the past and everything around him, laughing and chatting, leisurely and contentedly.
Such a leisurely scene was not uncommon in the past. Every morning and evening, you could see old men chatting after tea and dinner. It has been an indispensable sight in the lives of generations in Qinghe Town.
However.
Today is very different.
When the eldest lady from Yecheng came, she was surprised that the number of pedestrians on the street was gradually thinning out, but there were still people talking and laughing calmly, which would always look a bit dazzling.
Looking at this scene.
Chen Yuxin, who was about to walk out of the long street, couldn't help but stop and frown.
As the high-ranking eldest lady of the city lord's palace, most people would only respect and avoid her. I have never seen anyone so bold and dare to talk and laugh in front of her.
Not to mention, these people are just poor people in a small town.
This thing is really strange.
Chen Yuxin was surprised and couldn't help but take a closer look.
I saw a young man among the old men under the locust tree in the distance. He was dressed in white and had a handsome face. He was obviously a refined man, but he was chatting and laughing with a group of dying people.
The scene was like a piece of jade falling into a pile of rocks and grass, which made people feel uneasy. At the same time, it made the young scholar more and more distinguished, as if he should not appear in such a place.
Chen Yuxin became more and more curious and asked in a deep voice without turning her eyes.
