Chapter 13: The Bandits Take Refuge
Lu Chen, who returned to the village, looked at the 200 militiamen who had all been promoted to level 11, and he was still a little worried in his heart, there were only four days left before his bandit mission.
I don't even know where the cottage is.,It seems that you need to ask someone.。
Tian Zhong, as the village steward, must have known about his existence, but he didn't expect that Tian Zhong had already come to him first.
"Village chief, village chief, something is wrong!"
When Lu Chen heard Tian Zhong shouting twice from the village chief, he knew that something bad was coming, and sure enough, something big happened in the next sentence.
"Uncle Tian Zhong, you drink saliva first, and talk slowly, what's going on?" Lu Chen glanced at Tian Zhong and muttered in his heart, could it be that the wild monsters attacked the village first? Or is it a bandit coming to the door? Or is it the player who comes to raid the village?
Tian Zhong took a sip of water, he stared at Lu Chen's calm expression, and his heart was always entangled, whether to say it or not, he hesitated for a while, and still muttered out two words that were not very clear.
Lu Chen thought he had misheard, he frowned and asked angrily, "What?" Say it again! ”
Tian Zhong exhaled, knowing that this would be the result, he pretended to be very flustered and came in, just to make his village chief panic, but as a result, the panic did not reach, but as soon as he talked about the incident, he was anxious with himself.
"Village chief, Tian Zhong really didn't lie to you, now the village has just started, we are really, alas!" Tian Zhong still persuaded patiently.
Lu Chen's face was already darkened, and his anger was bursting, so he almost kicked Tian Zhong out of the village chief's room, he clenched his fists, made a creaking sound, and a deep voice came out, and he shouted coldly: "No!" If you don't have money, you have to die. ”
Tian Zhong shook his head and sighed, he patiently recited in a strange manner: "Alas, it seems that we can only shrink the construction of the village, half of the wall of the village has not been built, and it takes 100,000 copper coins to upgrade the wall, and now the village has no money to upgrade the wall, and now it seems that we can only continue to replace it with broken wooden stakes." ”
Lu Chen sizzled, turned his head and stared at Tian Zhong, especially at the mention of 100,000 copper coins, he squeaked angrily.
Tian Zhong froze for a moment, with a look like a ruffian and a hooligan, but he nodded and said: "Village chief, village chief, don't be angry, Tian Zhong will go and call someone to stop the construction, so as to save that money." ”
As if Lu Chen had lost his strength in an instant, he shouted coldly to Tian Zhong, who was about to leave: "Come back!" How much? ”
Tian Zhong showed a triumphant smile at this moment, he stretched out his finger and made a very under-beaten gesture.
"200,000." Lu Chen said lightly.
Tian Zhong shook his head, with a dark look of disdain on his face, it costs 100,000 to build a wall, why did you tell Lao Tzu, a total of 200,000, who is playing?
Lu Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, frowned slightly, and asked again in a cold voice: "2 million?" ”
He squinted his eyes and stared at Tian Zhong tightly, and then saw him shake his head, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not 2 million, otherwise, wouldn't he be bankrupt.
Tian Zhong said in a light tone, and said slowly and earnestly: "Village chief, it's not 200,000, it's not 2 million, but... 20 million. ”
Bang knock.
Lu Chen was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time, his face was as if it had been painted with cow, and it was black.
Seeing this, Tian Zhong immediately explained: "Village Chief, the area of our village is so large, so we have to spend ten times more copper coins than the usual construction area. ”
Lu Chen shook his hand and exhaled, his trembling hand took out bags of large bags from the package, each bag was more than 30,000 copper coins, a total of 15 bags, this is all Lu Chen's belongings.
He slowly got up with the wooden chair, but because of the frightening legs, he fell to the ground again, Tian Zhong wanted to help, but was organized by Lu Chen's shaking hand, he sat on the ground and said slowly: "Huh - Tian Zhong, let's take our time, first upgrade the wall, there are street shops, well, there are upgraded buildings to be built as soon as possible, grain seeds and livestock cubs are sent, the farmland will be cultivated as soon as possible, and the livestock will be distributed to the farmers who cultivate it, and they will raise it." ”
"Yes, Tian Zhong knows, or the village chief is wise." Tian Zhong nodded and responded to Lu Chen's calculations.
Lu Chen scratched him, this scholar is like this, he is even darker than himself, snorted, and scolded: "Get out, the 500,000 copper coins that Lao Tzu just got are gone, and Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law will definitely scold herself for being a loser, huh——。 ”
Lu Chen's sigh was particularly helpless, but he was helpless, now the income of the village is still very considerable, with an income of nearly 200,000 yuan per day, as long as it takes 100 days, it can be returned in 100 days.
Bah......
Who can stand this Nima! That's the case with intermediate villages, so intermediate? Senior? Town??? Oh, my God!
Wife, I'm so incompetent!
Tian Zhong saw Lu Chensheng's loveless expression, and immediately asked in surprise: "Village chief, are you already married?" Tian Zhong didn't know, alas, Ben was also going to promise the little girl Cuihua to the village chief, poof! It seems that the village chief is not so blessed. ”
"Get out!"
I saw Tian Zhong move bags of copper coins out of the village chief's office, and several people sent copper coins into the village treasury one after another.
Lu Chen was still struggling to get up, trying to get up, but found that his legs had been numb after sitting for a long time, whew.
"Village chief, village chief..." Suddenly, I saw Tian Zhong come back again, but when he saw Lu Chen still sitting on the ground, he immediately swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth.
Lu Chen's face was dark, his eyes were squinting and staring at Tian Zhong, the Heavenly Punishment Divine Spear in the package was about to move, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want?" ”
Tian Zhong sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, slowly took a step back, and immediately said with a flattering smile: "No, no, the village chief, you misunderstood, I am telling the village chief a good news." ”
"What do you mean?" Lu Chen frowned and asked, hearing that it was not good news, the guard in his heart gradually let go, and secretly shook his numb legs, trying to make it regain consciousness, if others saw it, he would be discredited.
Tian Zhong said with a smile: "Village chief, there are bandits outside who have come to our village." ”
"Sleep~ groove, this is special good news! Inform Ah Yu to gather the militia and prepare for battle. Lu Chen was so frightened by Tian Zhong's words that he jumped up directly, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly went down to the village gate.
Tian Zhong immediately followed, grabbed the flustered Lu Chen, and hurriedly explained: "Village chief, village chief, don't get me wrong, it's a thief I know, a thief I know, and one of them was my friend. ”
Lu Chen turned his head and stared at Tian Zhong with strange eyes, narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Your friend is a bandit?" ”
"Ahh Not before, then bandits. Tian Zhong didn't want to be labeled as a thief's friend, the thief was caught at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and would be imprisoned, he quickly explained.
"Take me around and see how many people are on the other side?" Lu Chen suddenly thought that he ordered Tian Zhong to lead the way, but he thought that he would meet this bandit who came to take refuge inexplicably, and the bandits of the Three Kingdoms are all powerful characters, such as Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, and Zhang Yan.
All of them are soldiers and generals, and they also hold the title of famous generals of the Three Kingdoms.
Outside the gate of Zhengdong Village, two recklessly dressed bandits, among which the leader has a national face, a smooth beard on the chin, and a mustache on the top, which looks like the status of the bandits is not weak, how can this kind of character take refuge in his own small village.
Conspiracy, definitely conspiracy.
"Hello, in Xia Su Xiaochen, he is the village chief of Xingluo Village, may I ask you who you are?" Lu Chen stepped forward and smiled faintly, but he was ready to take out the Heavenly Punishment Spear in his hand and respond to the enemy at any time.
Tian Zhong saw the tense atmosphere between the two sides, and immediately introduced Lu Chen to another thief on the other side and said: "Village chief, let me introduce you, this is my friend Li Kan, Tian's childhood partner, they are ......"
Before Tian Zhong finished speaking, Li Kan on the other side nodded to Tian Zhong with a faint smile, and interrupted: "I am Li Kan, a thief from Black Bear Village, but this time I came to ask for help from Village Chief Su." ”
"Ahh Help? Seeing that the other party was full of sincerity, Lu Chen suddenly lowered his guard slowly, and said with some surprise, because he found that the aura on the two people opposite was very powerful, and they were obviously less than his own, I don't know how many times.
However, how could such a powerful NPC allow them to come and destroy the player's village, so when I heard them say help, and it was still from the Black Bear Village, could it be a mission upgrade?
Lu Chen nodded, signaling that he was willing to help, and the details could be discussed in detail, and Li Kan and the leader on the other side followed Lu Chen into the village.
Li Kan looked at this huge village, his heart was still shocked, he knew his friend's talent and arrogance, he was very curious why he chose to come to this village as the deputy village head, but when he saw the design of this huge village, he understood that this village was completely built with a city.
But if it is actually built, how many copper coins will it cost?
Li Kan gasped.
They came to the village chief's office, which has begun to take shape, the village chief's office is the council hall, and there are courtyards in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions behind it, and there are many pavilion buildings in the middle, ponds, stone roads, weeping willows, etc.
Li Kan said secretly: "This kid is not ambitious! ”
Lu Chen saw Li Kan's eyes secretly looking, and sighed in his heart, what was the other party planning? Or is it to prepare against you?
Lu Chen saw the leader of the Chinese character sitting next to Li Kan, looked at Li Kan and motioned for the other party to introduce, and said, "Mr. Li, I don't know what this gentleman is called?" ”
Li Kan suddenly chuckled embarrassedly, and he immediately introduced Lu Chen: "Oh, I forgot to introduce it to Village Chief Su, this is the big ...... of our Black Bear Village."
The leader himself preemptively introduced: "My name is Li Wen, I am the big boss of Black Bear Village, Village Chief Su, thank you for your sincere help, but we won't let you suffer, if you help us, we won't let you help empty-handed." ”
Li Wen seemed very polite, not like an ordinary thief, compared with Li Kan's carefulness and ease, Li Wen seemed much calmer.
"Oh, this is to my liking, I don't know what you want Su to help? This also has to weigh the meager strength of our village first, and you can't hit a big rock with an egg, right? ”
Lu Chen faced two bandits who didn't know their strength, he had to be cautious, don't make it bad again, it's a mandatory task, and if he doesn't complete it, he will die directly.
Li Wen glanced at Li Kan, and he exhaled deeply.
