When Xiu Jie returned home, Lan Yao greeted him and said softly, "Village chief, you're back." took Xiu Jie's coat and hung it up.

Xiu Jie sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and said, "I will go on the expedition in two days."

When Lan Yao heard this, she asked, "How long will it take to go out?"

"A month, or two months, it's possible." Xiu Jie replied.

Lan Yao brought the brewed tea to Xiu Jie, put it down, and said, "Then I'll go and prepare my clothes."

Xiu Jie grabbed Lan Yao and said, "No, you don't have to go out with me when you go out this time, just stay at home and rest."

Lan Yao stopped, looked at Xiu Jie, and asked blankly, "You mean you won't take me out?"

"Hmm," Xiu Jie replied.

"And who's going to take care of you?" Lan Yao asked.

"In the army, why do you need women to take care of you, no." Xiu Jie said.

Lan Yao was a little disappointed, "In this way, I won't be able to see the village chief for a month or two." ”

"I'll see you when I get back." Xiu Jie drank tea, stood up, picked up Lan Yao, and said, "Let's go, go back to the room."

September 211 in the Middle Continent calendar

Under the recommendation of Xing Changyan, Luo Feng officially became the head of Bati Village after defeating Ge Fei.

Xing Changyan brought the village's money and grain ledger and militia roster to Luofeng's office, and said, "Village chief, these are the coins, grains, and the number of villagers and militia you want to check."

Luo Feng took the account book and others in Xing Changyan's hand, and said, "Adjutant Xing has worked hard these days."

"Well, it should be." Xing Changyan said.

After reading it, Luo Feng said: "The population of Bati Village is only about 30,000, which is too little."

Xing Changyan said: "We are a small village, with a population of about 40,000, but recently mountain bandits and wandering armies have been rampant, often looting our village, and many villagers have suffered greatly, and the Liute village in the east has become stronger, so many villagers have run to Liute village."

"I see." Luo Feng put down the roster in his hand, and after thinking about it, he said: "We must stabilize the village, so that the villagers can live here with peace of mind."

"Well," Xing Changyan said, "the biggest threat now is a group of mountain bandits in the southern suburbs."

Luo Feng flipped through the militia roster and said: "This militia has only one brigade, it is too few, it seems that the militia must be recruited first, and then go to attack the mountain bandits."

"Hey," Xing Changyan sighed and said, "This recruitment of militia requires money and food, and now we are often looted by mountain bandits and wandering troops, and there are not so many coins and food to feed the militia."

Luo Feng frowned, he didn't expect this Bhatti village to be so poor and weak, but it was almost not occupied by other villages.

"Okay, I know," Luo Feng returned the account book and roster to Xing Changyan, and said, "Let's go back first, I'll figure out a way." ”

"Yes." Xing Changyan said and exited Luo Feng's office.

Luo Feng walked out of the office, came to Zhang Xinyi's residence, and knocked on the door, "Xinyi, are you there?" ”

The door creaked open, and Zhang Xinyi poked his head out of it and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" Luo Feng asked.

Zhang Xinyi snorted at Luo Feng, "Girl's room, what are you doing here?" ”

Luo Feng looked embarrassed, "I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Oh," Zhang Xinyi said like a child, "Okay, come in." ”

Luo Feng walked into Zhang Xinyi's room, sat down and said: "Now the village of Bati is too weak, there is no money, there is no food, there is not much militia."

"And what do you want?" Zhang Xinyi ran to his jewelry box in a panic and locked the jewelry box, "Don't beat my mind, I don't have any money." ”

"Temporarily borrowed," Luo Feng stared at Zhang Xinyi's jewelry box and said, "When the militia is recruited and the bandits and rogues around here are defeated, I will give you double, this deal is worth it."

Zhang Xinyi pouted, with an expression of disbelief, and said, "You must not break your word."

"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded sincerely.

Luo Feng went around the village office, and after screaming, Zhang Xuli hugged Luo Feng's leg and cried: "Robbery, someone is robbing."

Luo Feng took the package and said to Zhang Xuli who was crying with a smile: "These things are confiscated, if you make meritorious contributions to pacify the mountain bandits and the Liujun this time, I will return you."

"Liar, absolutely deceitful." Zhang said weakly.

"Alright, let's get ready, we're going to recruit the militia." Luo Feng pulled away Zhang Xuanli and left on his own.

"That's the rhythm of robbery." Zhang Xuli shouted twice and followed Luo Feng.

After three days of recruiting militiamen, Luo Feng gathered all the militia in the training ground to form two brigades, and said: "The formation of the army will begin today, and Liu Zhen will be the captain of the first brigade."

"Yes." Liu Zhen responded.

Luo Feng continued: "Guan Pei is the captain of the second brigade."

"Yes." Guan Pei shouted.

"Zhang Xinyi was promoted to battalion commander and concurrently served as the leader of the red-robed squad."

"Command."

"Feng Ziying was promoted to battalion commander, and the original squad was changed to an escort team, and Feng Ziying concurrently served as the captain of the escort team."

"Yes."

"Zhang Xuli was promoted to battalion commander and commanded the army."

"Yes."

After the formation of the army was completed, Luo Feng left the training ground with the army and headed for the southern suburbs of the mountains.

The southern outskirts of Bhatti village are all low hills, one after the other, on the high side and densely wooded.

Luo Feng arrived at the bottom of the mountain, looked around, and said, "According to Adjutant Xing, this should be the stronghold of mountain bandits in the southern suburbs."

"So many mountains, how do you find them?" Zhang Xinyi said.

"Sister Xinyi," Zhang Xuli said, "There are a lot of mosquitoes on this mountain, brother, I suggest you stay below."

Zhang Xinyi looked at Zhang Xuli with a look of contempt and said, "Who is your sister, brother, and second uncle."

"Huh? Am I that old? Zhang Xuli had a puzzled expression, "By the way, who is the uncle?" ”

Zhang Xinyi rubbed Luo Feng next to him with his fingers, and said "um" in his mouth.

"Lao Luo, Lao Luo, oh, no, Village Chief Luo, you are really older than me." Zhang Xuli giggled.

The mountain road still needs Feng Ziying to open the way, Luo Feng ignored Zhang Xuli and Zhang Xinyi, and said to Feng Ziying: "Ziying, you take two teams to explore the road."

"Yes." Feng Ziying led two teams and walked up the mountain.

"Void power." Luo Feng shouted.

"Yes." Zhang Xuli responded.

"You lead a team to follow behind Ziying."

"No problem." Zhang Xuli shouted at Liu Zhen: "Liu Zhen, take the first team with me."

Liu Zhen waved his hand and shouted "Go." He led the team and followed Zhang Xuli.

"Village chief, am I really at the bottom of the mountain?" Zhang Xinyi pouted, with a dissatisfied face, very cute.

"I'm at the bottom of the mountain, of course I need your red-robed team for protection." Luo Feng said half-jokingly.

"Come less, with your combat power, you still need my protection." Zhang Xinyi said dissatisfied.
