The village chief Zhao Ci is an old man with silver hair, with a majestic and simple face, although he is old, his waist is still straight, and his clothes are very gorgeous, but his eyes are a little unhealthy and swollen, as if he is overly drunk, and when he heard the news of Chu Lianyi's brother's death, the village chief said good words to appease her, and at the same time ordered someone to take some gold and silver out to her, so he excused himself and wanted to send off the guest.

As soon as he heard that the pirates were coming, Zhao Ci immediately showed a panicked look, and immediately ordered someone to find a young descendant, and wrote a handwritten letter on the spot, asking him to immediately set off and hand it over to General Shangguan Di of Jianye City, asking him to send troops to protect Taoyuan Village.

"You have completed Trial Task 2 and received 500 bonus points, you can choose to leave the mission world immediately or stay until the end of the three-day time limit, during which time you can choose to leave at any time."

Looking at the wonderful hint from the Immortal Fate Seal, Lei Yun suddenly felt a sense of relief, but he didn't choose to leave immediately, because he vaguely felt that he could still get a lot of benefits in this mission world, and now was not the time to leave.

After arranging the matter of asking for help, the village chief Zhao Ci appeased Chu Lianyi again, it was nothing more than nonsense that he was determined to kill this group of pirates, avenge her brother, and so on -- but it was the nonsense that Chu Lianyi wanted to hear the most, and invited her to move to Yinlong Village to live. and arranged a sumptuous lunch to entertain the two.

Although Lei Yun didn't interject for a long time, but the task was successfully completed, he couldn't help but feel good, seeing that Chu Lianyi had no appetite, he munched on the case, swept all the dishes on the table like a whirlwind, and ate five large bowls of rice in a row, drank a big bowl of seaweed fish ball soup, and patted his stomach with satisfaction, picking his teeth as if no one was around, waiting for the further development of the situation.

At this time, in Chu Lianyi's home in the East Bay Bay, seventy or eighty heavily armed pirates were resting here, led by the bald pirate leader Shi Yu, who was lying on a bamboo chair at the moment with his eyes closed, looking casual on the surface, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart:

The brothers sent out to explore the path were all killed overnight, and the method was exactly the same------ almost all of them were shot from behind, and the blow was fatal, obviously the same person did it, how did this enemy hiding in the shadows do it in such bad weather?

Shi Yu rubbed his back that was still a little sore, and couldn't help but feel a little upset, it turned out that it rained for a day yesterday, which delayed their plan to attack Taoyuan Village, and when he had nothing to do, he consumed a lot of energy on that black fat ugly, so that his waist still hurts a little.

"Big brother, it's been confirmed, that killer has indeed been here, and he has just been away for no more than two hours."

A skinny pirate with a huge scar on the left side of his face leaned into Shi Yu's ear and said.

This pirate nicknamed "Scar", his real name is Liu Zuohai, is Shi Yu's cronies, he was a hunter before he became a pirate, what he was best at was tracking and hunting wild beasts, in his hometown, the local county order bullied men and women, all evil, he was at that time when the blood was strong, in a fit of anger the county order shot an arrow to death, because he was wanted by the government, he had to go to sea to become a pirate, ironically, he was an honest and kind person before killing the county order, but after being a pirate, he became fierce and vicious, killing people without blinking, completely lost his humanity.

Shi Yu's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said:

"This person has killed so many of us silently in such bad weather, he is by no means an idle person, could it be that Taoyuan Village has taken precautions and invited a master?"

After a pause, he asked:

"How far is this place from Taoyuan Village?"

Scar hurriedly replied:

"If you leave now, you should be there before dark."

Shi Yu waved his hand when he heard this and said:

"No, wait until it gets dark before we set out, this time let's give him a night sneak attack to minimize the casualties of the brethren, alas! We can't afford any more casualties at the moment ... ”

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he was suddenly silent for a while, then stood up, sighed and said:

"Go, let the brethren eat something and go to bed...... In a moment, I'll be the guard......"

At about dusk, a group of about four or five hundred officers came to Taoyuan Village, led by Shangguan Di, the guard general of Jianye City, and the village chief Zhao Ci obviously did not expect the reinforcements to come so quickly, so he hurriedly came out to greet them.

This Shangguan Di is tall and burly, with a horizontal face, and a very vicious face, but when he saw Zhao Ci, he was full of smiles, calling him a brother, and he looked very intimate.

After the greetings, the village chief led Shangguan Di and Lei Yun and Shui Rouqing to the inner hall, and after the guests and hosts sat down, he ordered someone to carry out a large box, and after opening it, it was a whole box of silver ingots, and the village chief immediately bowed his hand to Shangguan Di and said:

"Brother Shangguan, this time I bothered you to take the risk in person, the younger brother really didn't want to go, there are five thousand taels of silver here, please smile, a small gift, not a tribute, buy some wine for the brothers."

As soon as Shangguan Di saw the silver, his spirit suddenly perked, and although there was a greedy look in his eyes, he said with a serious expression:

"Brother Zhao, what do you mean by this? With the friendship of our brothers, is it still necessary to help this little favor? I can't take it. ”

Zhao Ci said unhurriedly when he heard this:

"Brother Shangguan, our brothers naturally don't have to be polite, but these are a little meaning for the brothers, it is rumored outside that you love soldiers like children, and you can't let the brothers go hungry to suppress bandits.

Shangguan Di laughed when he heard this, waved his big hand and said:

"Brother Zhao, you are too polite, so be it, I will accept it this time, but it can't be like this again in the future, come here, collect the silver, and go back to the brothers to divide it, and say that it is rewarded by Village Chief Zhao."

After the two soldiers carried the silver down, Zhao Ci smiled and said:

"Let's get down to business first, I don't know what Brother Shangguan's countermeasures are to the arrival of pirates?"

Shangguan Di immediately put away his smile when he heard this, and said:

"Those pirates are coming out this time, they must be prepared, I suspect that there may be people in our village who collude with pirates and secretly report the news, so the pirates will target our Taoyuan Village, this time I don't have many people, and the defense of the whole village is inevitably insufficient, and the pirates are also here for money, I think it's best for us to focus on the defense of the warehouse where valuables are stored in the village, it is the best policy, and please Brother Zhao take me to see the terrain of the warehouse first, and I can also arrange the defense matters."

Lei Yun frowned when he heard this, and vaguely felt that something was wrong: this Shangguan Di obviously brought four or five hundred people, but he said that there were not many people, and now he was in a hurry to go to the warehouse where valuables were stored, could it be that he had other plans? Or are you worrying too much?

Zhao Ci and Shangguan Di have a deep friendship, but there is no doubt about him, even after thanking him, he took everyone to the ancestral hall in the village, this ancestral hall is very magnificent, blue bricks and green tiles, covers a huge area, and there are two stone lions more than one person high at the gate to guard.

As soon as you enter the gate, you can see that in the middle of the courtyard of the ancestral hall is a huge offering table, the table is full of all kinds of offerings, and there is a copper three-legged incense burner more than one person high in front of the table, which is engraved with four ancient seal characters - blessing the future generations, the incense burner is full of incense ashes, and there are three pillars of extremely coarse incense offering that are burning on it, and behind the offering table are the three main halls full of ancestral tablets.

On both sides of the courtyard were two rows of neatly placed stone lions, and Zhao Ci pointed to one of them and said:

"These stone lions are specially built by me, each weighing a thousand catties, and there is a copper cabinet that can hold a million silver taels buried in the soil under the stone lions, and the valuables in my village are stored in these copper cabinets."

Lei Yun secretly counted them and found that there were as many as twenty-four stone lions, and he couldn't help but be amazed at the wealth of this Taoyuan Village.

Shangguan Di was also extremely shocked when he heard that there were so many belongings, and the strange light in his eyes flashed, and he muttered for a while before saying:

"Brother Zhao, this warehouse is so important, I will definitely send heavy troops to defend it to ensure that nothing goes wrong. But then the rest of the village could not be taken care of. It is better to ask the villagers to bring gold and silver and soft and all come to this ancestral hall to take refuge, one is convenient for me to concentrate on protection, and the other can also make the person who colluded with the pirates can no longer contact the pirates, this ancestral hall is so wide that it will definitely accommodate the people in the village. How about I let you out when all the pirates I will commit in the future are destroyed? ”

Zhao Ci nodded when he heard this, and immediately agreed, and immediately sent people to inform the villagers to bring valuables to the ancestral hall to gather, and at the same time sent someone to bring his beloved concubine to the ancestral hall immediately, and by the way, notified other family members to come to the ancestral hall for refuge, and he stayed in this ancestral hall and refused to go anywhere.

Lei Yun saw all this in his eyes, and immediately felt a little worried in his heart: Shangguan Di's move was very intriguing, although it seemed reasonable, but Lei Yun vaguely felt that this Shangguan Di was very likely to have other plans.

After thinking about it, Lei Yun told the pirates about carrying their belongings to the cave in the East China Sea, and deliberately added fuel and vinegar to say that he saw a box overturned, and a lot of silver taels fell out. After hearing this, Shangguan Di was silent on the surface, but the excited expression between his eyebrows was difficult to hide.
