Chapter 704: Eclipse Night Crisis (1)
Chapter 704
After all, Wang Chong is the prince of the imperial court, and he is also the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven who was given the word by the Holy Emperor. But I didn't expect that Wusheng Village was so unreasonable.
There was no room for relaxation at all, and he refused directly.
Thinking about it again, the sergeant who led it before was injured, and everyone's faces became more and more ugly. You must know that with Wang Chong's status, he can actually mobilize a large army to besiege Wusheng Village.
"Presumptuous!"
Gao Feng was the first to stand up and fight for Wang Chong. With Wang Chong's current status, even the heads of the big families in Jingshi, who have been in business for a hundred years, have a huge family business, and have deep roots, have to be polite and polite to him, and these people from Wushu Village are too much.
"Peak ......"
Wang Chong stretched out a palm and stopped the peak. He came to summon the people of the village, not to make enemies. And there is one point, the patriarch of Wushen Village probably did not panic. That is, Wushu Village does have a tradition, and it cannot be easily left from the village, involving the outside world.
Otherwise, Wushen Village would not have been unknown for nearly a thousand years, and it would have been waiting until now.
Wang Chong also heard Fang Xiaoyan say this rule, so he knew it clearly. However, the rules are dead, people are alive, if the rules are really unchangeable, in the future, it is impossible for him to recruit 5,000 black wounded men and horses to become the supreme commander of the world-famous "black wounded iron horse".
No matter what the village chief of Wushu Village said, Wang Chong always believed that there was definitely a way for them to change their traditions and accept the tricks.
"Hey, grandpa, why are you here?"
It was too late, it was too fast, and just when the atmosphere was at its most stiff, a familiar, immature voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Wang Chong turned his head and saw at the edge of the square, a little girl with a petite body, but with brisk steps, and extremely agile like a raccoon cat, carrying a large iron box taller than her body, was jumping towards the square.
"Hey, big brother, you're there too?"
The little girl jumped up and down, and finally noticed Wang Chong opposite the white-haired old man, with a look of surprise.
"Buzz!"
With the appearance of the little girl, just a few words, the originally stiff atmosphere suddenly relaxed and eased a lot.
"This kid ......"
The white-haired old man smiled bitterly, and his originally serious, old-fashioned, and impersonal expression suddenly melted like solid ice, and he couldn't keep it any longer:
"Xiao Yan!"
The white-haired old man said as he beckoned into the distance.
"Counting the time, it's about the same. β
Wang Chong glanced at the little girl who appeared at the edge of the square and smiled slightly, as if he had expected this scene.
"Grandpa, I forgot to tell you. That's what I met my friends outside, and they gave me a big box of black alkali grass, haha, then I can stay in the village for a few days without going out, and have a good time with my Luoluo in the village. β
The little girl jumped up and down like a tanuki, and slipped to the feet of the white-haired old man with just a cigarette, and hugged his thigh, grinding around his leg like a kitten, making the white-haired old man cry and laugh.
"By the way, big brother, you have a good box, I handed over the black alkali grass to the elder, and left this box just to make a nest for my Luoluo. β
The little girl turned her head to look at Wang Chongdao opposite.
"Hehe, if you like it. β
Wang Chong smiled.
"Xiao Yan, it's been a busy day today, are you tired?"
"Uncle and grandmother have prepared some small snacks there, and they are placed on the table, and you can take them and eat them. β
"Little guy, don't keep caring about the fox, remember to practice usually!"
......
A group of Wusheng Village elders looked at the little girl and greeted her one after another, and their eyes were full of pampering and doting looks. It was completely different from the demeanor and tone in front of Wang Chong and the others before.
"Got it, got it. β
The little girl puffed out her mouth and waved her hand, with an impatient expression, her eyes rolled, and soon fell on Wang Chong on the other side.
"By the way, big brother, have you found your friend?"
"Found it. β
Wang Chong nodded with a smile and glanced at Li Siye and the others behind him.
"It's them!"
The little girl's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she soon became happy:
"It's good to find it, grandpa, they're all my friends, you can't bully them. Big brother, I won't talk to you. - Look for my fall. β
The little girl carried her big iron box on her back, and without saying a word, she slipped through the square again, and went to the other end of the square in high spirits.
Looking at the little girl's back and the huge iron box, the white-haired old man and a group of elders smiled helplessly. However, being so troubled by a little girl is not good for being so cold-faced.
"Master Hou, Xiao Yan has never been very willing to approach outsiders, even if she is willing to help you speak, then at least, your character is not bad, and you are not a wicked person. It's just that Wusheng Village has the rules of Wushen Village, which is set by the ancestors. Even if I am the patriarch, I can't disobey. I hope Hou Ye can understand this, but it's not that we in Wusheng Village are unwilling to help. So, Master Hou, please go back!"
The white-haired old man said, this time his tone was much softened, but the meaning of the expression was not the slightest difference from the first time, and there was no intention of loosening.
Li Siye, Gao Feng, and Nie Yan all looked at Wang Chong at this time, it was absolutely impossible for Wusheng Village to respond to the move, and now everything depends on how Wang Chong responds.
"Hehe, old man, even if that's the case, I don't want to be reluctant. However, it is now getting late, and the village is surrounded by mountains, full of lofty mountains and cliffs, and a misstep is an abyss. How about you let me stay here for a while and wait until tomorrow before going out?"
Wang Chong glanced up at the gradually darkening sky and said.
"This ......"
The white-haired old man's silkworm eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the little girl, he hesitated again:
"Well, but you'll have to leave tomorrow at dawn. Ninth Elder, you can take them to the village to rest and settle down first. When they leave tomorrow morning, let them go with their men. β
"Yes, Patriarch. β
Wu Jiumei nodded seriously, then turned her head and faced Wang Chong:
"Everyone, please come with me. However, there is only one night, and after one night, you must leave anyway. β
"Hmm. β
Wang Chong nodded, but his feet did not move.
"Sir, I know you've made up your mind, and you won't change it easily no matter what. I also know that no matter what I say, you will not believe it easily, but I still have a piece of advice, I hope the old gentleman will listen to it!"
"Oh?"
The patriarch of Wushu Village, who had a white beard, frowned, and a puzzled look on his face. Even Wu Jiumei stopped, not understanding what this young young marquis of the Tang Dynasty was going to sell.
Especially in the case where the patriarch has unequivocally rejected him.
"Don't eat rock salt!"
After Wang Chong said this, he no longer stopped, and took Li Siye, Gao Feng, Nie Yan and others to follow Wu Jiumei towards the distance. Leaving behind him, the body of the patriarch of Wushu Village, who had a white beard, shook slightly, looking at Wang Chong's back, with thoughtful eyes in his eyes.
......
It was getting late and the sky was full of stars.
In the stone houses at the very edge of Wushu Village, Wang Chong, Li Siye, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and a master of guards from major families gathered together.
"Master Hou, what should we do? We have to leave until dawn, do we really just give up?"
In the stone house, Gao Feng suddenly broke the silence.
"Although the people of Wusheng Village are very rebellious, it is difficult to subdue them. But if you can really recruit them, this is indeed a very powerful force. β
Nie Yan also said on the side, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Although the people of Wusheng Village are very xenophobic, and they don't care about the summons of the imperial court, they don't obey the edict, and even Li Siye, a fierce general who has made great achievements, almost folded in Wusheng Village, but frankly speaking, this also proves the strong strength of Wusheng Village.
Such a hidden village, and it has not been coveted by any force, is simply a "blessed land" for elite soldiers, and it is a pity to let it go like this. After staying in Wusheng Village for a while, what Nie Yan's mind turned over and over again was basically the scene of the people of Wusheng Village taking a huge rock weighing nearly thousands of catties, or even thousands of catties, to boil it.
Such a spectacular scene, except for places like Wushu Village, I am afraid that it is difficult to see any other place!
"I'm sorry, Master Hou, I messed up this mission. There is a trust from the Hou Ye!"
Li Siye lowered his head, looking ashamed.
This strong man, who was more than two meters tall and more than eight feet high, rarely gave in to others, but at this moment, he lowered his arrogant head in front of Wang Chong and a group of elite guards. Conscripting soldiers is just a small thing.
When Li Siye left the capital, he was also full of ambition, and promised Wang Chong that he would definitely complete the task.
Men make promises, and they promise a thousand gold!
But at this moment, there is no doubt that I screwed up.
Since being summoned by Wang Chong, he left the North Court and followed Wang Chong all the way to fight. Whether it is to conquer the Black Dragon Gang, or to set foot on the Us-Tibet Plateau, sow plague, or burn down the granary, cutting off the back road of the Mengshe edict...... No matter how difficult the task is, Li Siye has done his best to complete it!
But this time, in this little-known Wushu Village, Li Siye made a mistake for the first time.
Not only did he not complete the task, but even half of his soldiers were captured, and even he sacrificed the invincible Uzi steel weapon, but in the end, he was still not the opponent of these black wounded people.
"Hehe, heir, don't blame yourself, I know, you've done your best. β
A group of people sat on the ground, Wang Chong patted Li Siye's generous, tall, and majestic back, and comforted, with a completely disapproving expression:
"There are people outside the world, there is heaven outside the sky, although the name of the Wushu people is unknown, but no one has ever said that no fame is equivalent to no strength. In fact, don't say it's you this time, even if Lord Zhang Qiu appears here, I'm afraid that he will sink into the sand and return in vain. β
