Chapter 165: Village Chief Huai's Plans

It's just that at this time, this Qianbiao's first impression of Tian Jihong was not very good, through the dim light, the indifferent look on the former's face and the indifference that did not smile, made Tian Jihong have an inexplicable sense of vigilance and vigilance, which was diametrically opposed to the closeness brought by Tong Bo who had been in contact with him before.

However, according to Lin Rong's description beside him, this person, as the number one master in the Longsheng Chamber of Commerce, is said to surpass Tong Bo to reach the level of the late stage of the Bone Forging Realm, and he is already firmly in the second position in such an inconspicuous small chamber of commerce, and it is even said that the president of the chamber of commerce above him has to look at his face.

Now among the help that can be invited around, this Qianbiao's strength is the strongest, and the other path caravans were already thinking of staying out of the matter, and now that the former first mentioned that he was willing to help Donglin Village, then the others were even more reluctant to take the risk of offending Qianbiao to meddle in this matter. Therefore, for the villagers, the only option left was to hire the Longsheng caravan.

However, Tianjihong is currently most concerned with the safety of his younger brother, and he has not thought about this issue for too long. Just as I heard what the village chief Huai said when I returned to the village yesterday, if it weren't for the fact that the threat caused by this sea beast today was even more serious, with the strength of Tianjihong now entering the Kaiyuan realm, even if he couldn't solve this beast, he would at least be able to protect himself if he encountered it head-on, and even if he was willing, he could already earn enough capital on hand to go to Dongsheng Town to hire a martial arts master to come to help, or it would not be a trouble to wait for the master and his old man to come back to help solve this threat.

So for Tian Jihong, the only thing he worries about is this younger brother who doesn't know how to practice, now that the threat of sea beasts has intensified, he has secretly made plans, if the master has not returned in the past few days, no matter where he goes, he must take Xiaofei with him. Seeing that the latter was obediently sitting on a bluestone in the middle of the crowd with the village chief of Huai at this time, his hanging heart finally landed.

Lin Rong briefly explained two sentences with Tian Jihong, and then leaned towards his father's position, at the same time, Tian Jihong's arrival also made some of the villagers next to him who had not yet learned the news of his safe return a burst of noise, after a day of panic and anxiety, Tian Jihong's safe return was finally like a shot in the arm to bring short-term joy to everyone, after all, it is indeed too rare for him to disappear in the depths of Dongyun Mountain for several days without dying, Some people have even begun to wonder if the disappearance of Tianjihong is also related to the attack of the current sea beast.

Fortunately, the appearance of the latter at this time also broke this rumor, and after hastily dealing with the excited acquaintances beside him, Tianjihong finally squeezed in front of the head of Huai Village. The latter had a tired face, and it was rare to show a kind smile on his face, and he said:

"Xiaohong, I've heard your brother say that you have returned safely, and finally let us old men relax. You kid really doesn't know the height of the sky, and you actually go to such a dangerous mountain alone without saying hello to the people in the village, if you have any accidents, what should you do if you leave Xiaofei alone? Don't do such reckless things in the future! ”

"Well, I know Grandpa Huai, and I won't be so reckless in the future." I have to say that the words of the village chief Huai are indeed to the point, and Tian Jihong has already reflected on some of his too radical and risky actions during this trip, which has repeatedly plunged him into crises, and these lessons will remind him to be more cautious and cautious in the future.

"Okay, I guess you've also heard this kid talk about the past few days, right? I still have some things to discuss with you, Uncle Lin, and them, looking at your appearance, you must be worried about Xiaofei, you can rest assured that he has been very obedient all day today and has not left my old man's field of vision, you go and talk to him, he will tell you everything that happened today. When the time comes, the affairs in this village are done, and I will set up a banquet for your little fellow alone, and congratulate you on returning home safely. After saying that, the village chief of Huai touched Tian Jihong's head, and walked in the direction of the few people beside him.

In fact, after hesitating for a moment at this time, Tian Jihong finally did not clarify his desire to solve this threat with the village chief of Huai. Let's not say that his identity is too sensitive, Tian Jihong doesn't want too many people to know that he has achieved a small success in his cultivation, just the current attack of this sea beast, according to Tian Jihong's inference, it is obviously not as simple as a simple accident behind it, is the root cause related to the plan of the ghost thousand shadows in the mountain range before? There is also the sudden sky-high price behind this Longsheng caravan, if the people in the village do not agree, will the other party play any tricks behind the scenes? All these kinds of problems have yet to be verified, and Tian Jihong doesn't want to expose his purpose so easily before the master returns.

"Brother Hong, you're finally back, I'm worried to death! I thought you..."I just heard a slight cry in Tianjifei's voice on the side, and his eyes were already a little red. This is not to blame the latter's worries, the village has been rumored in the past few days that Tianjihong was also attacked by sea beasts, there are such rumors, plus he just reunited with his brother less than one night before, it is inevitable that the young Tianjihong almost believed it to be true.

"Xiaofei, don't cry, don't cry, you see Brother Hong, isn't it good, don't listen to the nonsense of the people in the village!" Tian Jihong also hurriedly hugged the only relative, and comforted, "I went to Dongsheng Town very smoothly this time and did not encounter any danger, but after I came back and heard about the attack of this spirit beast, I was worried about you all the way." It's nice to see you're okay! ”

In the next few minutes, Tianji Fei told his brother everything about the day, and the attack on the soul beast was similar to what Lin Rong said before. According to Tianjifei, as soon as he arrived at the village chief's house in the morning, the news that the south of the village was attacked by sea beasts came over, and then he also followed Grandpa Huai to the inn urgently, and implored several masters in the caravan to check the situation together. The village chief also claimed that no matter how much it cost, he was willing to hire a few people, including Qian Biao, to completely solve this big threat.

As a result, he didn't expect that Qianbiao not only opened his mouth to say an astronomical amount, but also secretly threatened several other people beside him, making the other party retreat and dare not take over the commission of the village chief of Huai alone. As a result, after the matter became serious, several people in the inn, led by the shopkeeper Lin, had an argument with Na Qianbiao, but the latter not only did not let go, but also threatened that if he did not speak, no matter who else came, he would not be allowed to help the villagers in Donglin, otherwise he would make him look good. As a result, the group dragged on until almost noon before they stopped the dispute, and after learning that the soul beast had fled to this sun-looking slope, they hurriedly chased after it.

Tian Jihong, who heard what was going on, had even less good feelings for the Qian Biao who secretly sneered not far away, and the despicable behavior of the other party who fell into the well and did not save him was no less than the sea beast that took the lives of several people in Tian Jihong's opinion, and with his keen perception on weekdays, Tian Jihong always felt that this Qian Biao seemed to be still thinking about some ghost idea behind his back, and it was not for no reason that the lion suddenly opened his mouth, and he had to be extra vigilant against this person so as not to be deceived.

At this moment, the village chief and his entourage, who were arguing in a low voice, finally seemed to have reached a consensus, and seeing that it was late to return, the village chief Huai finally gathered the big guys together and said:

"Big guy, listen to me! You don't need to repeat the seriousness behind this series of attacks as an old man, there have been a few accidents before, and it is indeed my old man's mishandling that has occurred before, and I am here to make amends to you! ”

"But now the threat of this sea beast must be resolved as soon as possible, and there must be no more accidents among the big guys. After discussion, we decided that tomorrow the shopkeeper Lin would get up and go to the mercenary union in Dongsheng Town, and hire a master to come to my Donglin Village to help, as for the cost, everyone doesn't need to worry about it, the shopkeeper Lin has agreed to bear it by him alone, if there is still a gap in it, it will be filled by me, the old man. ”

"I hereby promise to resolve this matter within two days and give a satisfactory answer to the big guy! It's just that it takes time to go to Dongsheng Town to negotiate, in these two days, please be vigilant and gather together as much as possible, don't easily leave a single chance to the beast, and at night also aggrieved that each family always leaves a person in shifts to keep vigil, if it is inconvenient for people at home, you can come to the north of the village, a few vacant rooms on my side will be one night, old man, I am here to thank you! ”

Hearing the heartfelt words of the village chief, dozens of people in the village finally calmed down, and they no longer seemed to have any objections to such a decision. Under the command and leadership of several martial artists in the martial arts hall, everyone got up one after another in the direction of the village, but Tian Jihong, who was frowning, held his brother's hand and stayed at the end.

For the village chief's decision, Tian Jihong also understood that this was a helpless move, but now that he has some knowledge, he is quite clear about the employment process of the mercenary union. Such an act of temporarily going to the union to hire thugs, not to mention whether it can find a suitable person in time within two days, even if it is found, the other party will hear about such an imminent and urgent situation in the village, and it is very likely that he will ask for the same sky-high price as this Longsheng caravan. To put it simply, Tian Jihong himself was very skeptical that such a plan could really be successfully completed in two days, and the longer it dragged on, the higher the possibility of an accident in the village.

And what worried Tian Jihong even more was the expressionless man not far away, and on the way to listen to the speech of the village chief Huai, he always stared at that Qianbiao's expression throughout the whole process. What made Tian Jihong uneasy was that the other party not only did not feel annoyed or threatened by the decision of the village chief Huai to tear his face, but continued to sit on the high platform on the side without saying a word and looked at each other coldly, but the inadvertent mockery on his face betrayed what he thought.
