Meng Xingci and his entourage set off to the village, and there was farmland outside the village, but not much was sown.

When I entered the village, an old man in his fifties came out, holding a pipe in his hand, and said: "I am the village chief of Chenjia Village, I don't know if the nobles came from afar to pass by or look for people?" ”

As soon as Zhong Dayong was about to speak, Meng Xingci said with a smile: "Hello village chief, my surname is Su, I am a scholar, and I am going out to study. Passing by here, I saw that this mountain was quite interesting, so I wanted to spend the night here. ”

The village chief's eyes swept over the convoy behind them, and he laughed: "The presence of the prince is the glory of our Chenjia Village. It just so happened that there was still a newly built house in the old man's house that had not yet been occupied, and if the son did not dislike it, he would stay in the dormitory. ”

Meng Xingci's eyes flashed, and he smiled and bowed: "This is the best." ”

Meng Xingci followed the village chief into the village, and some people came out of the house to look at Meng Xingci, but they were all driven back by the village chief.

Meng Xingci followed the village chief back to his house as usual.

"The village chief, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water. This mountain is densely forested, and you have such a big mountain at your back, and it seems that you are living a very good life. Meng Xingci said.

The village chief said: "Childe doesn't know, there are often wild beasts on this mountain, and some people hear babies crying late at night, which is very dangerous. On weekdays, we villagers are reluctant to go up the mountain, so if you are not familiar with the mountain road, it is better not to venture up the mountain for the sake of safety. ”

After Meng Xingci listened, he nodded and didn't mention it again.

Meng Xingci sighed: "It's a pity, guarding such a big mountain, but you can't go up the mountain to hunt." In my opinion, the life in this village is healthy and rich, but the village chief has a good way of governing the village. ”

The village chief waved his hand again and again: "Where, it's just all kinds of land, doing odd jobs, barely making ends meet." In the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, God has appreciated the food, the harvest is good, and there is a little spare money in his hand. ”

Meng Xingci smiled slightly, noncommittal.

The village chief proposed: "You are tired of traveling, I will ask my daughter-in-law to cook a few dishes for you later." ”

Ling Huan hurriedly said: "This won't bother the village chief, we brought our own ingredients and can cook by ourselves." Our son-in-law is not used to eating things outside. ”

The village chief didn't care either, and nodded with a smile.

The village chief settled the people in the new house and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Meng Xingci's face changed, and he hurriedly called Zhong Dayong: "How far is this place from the barracks?" After it gets dark for a while, you set off immediately, take my token to find Ye Xun, and ask him to send troops to come to the rescue. ”

Zhong Dayong was stunned, and Ling Huan and Chang Song were also surprised.

Ling Huan was shocked: "The village chief is a bad person? ”

Meng Xingci's eyes flashed: "When we came, we saw that there were not many crops planted in the field, and at a glance, we knew that this village did not make a living from farming. However, most of the houses in this village are blue-tiled houses, which shows that the life is rich. There is also the village chief, there is a thin cocoon in his tiger's mouth, Dayong, you join the army, you should know who will leave such traces on your hands. ”

Zhong Dayong nodded: "Only those who practice martial arts will leave traces here." ”

"I said I wanted to go up the mountain, but he obstructed it in every way, saying that the mountain was haunted. I remember that when we entered the city, the guards guarding the gate said that the county magistrate of Yanquan County had been robbed and killed by bandits, and the robbers had not been found so far. We were in the den of thieves, so I said that we were going up the mountain, and he did everything he could to obstruct it. Meng Xing said solemnly: "If you send the letter out as soon as possible now, maybe you can save our lives." ”

So when the village chief said just now that he wanted to deliver food, she refused without hesitation.

Zhong Dayong's eyes flashed: "My lord, I will stay to protect my lord and let others go." ”

Meng Xingci shook his head: "You go, I don't worry about others." I can still deal with this village chief, and if we can get out of it tomorrow morning, God willing. If not, then ask the prince to avenge me. ”

It's obviously a life-threatening matter, but she is so indifferent. She is not ignorant and fearless, she can see the flaws of the village chief in a short time, and she can naturally think of how dangerous it is to stay.

Only those who have experienced life and death will look down on the world. But what has she been through? Seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy Lang, born in a famous and wealthy family, is the youngest Tanhua Lang of Daqi, with an unlimited future.

Zhong Dayong hugged his fists and said solemnly: "The subordinates will not be dishonored!" ”

Meng Xingci wrote another letter and handed it to Zhong Dayong. "If anything happens to me, give this letter to the prince. The brother who came out with me this time, he will arrange it properly. ”

Zhong Dayong was stunned, took the letter, turned his head and told his subordinates to protect the adults well.
