Xiao Yao is the village chief of Xinghua Village, and after agreeing to Wang Yuelong's request to stay overnight, he naturally would not let him go to live elsewhere, and directly led Wang Yuelong to his home.

This is also where Xiao Yao's caution lies. In the entire Xinghua Village, the highest strength is the current village chief, and although the mysterious young man Zu Zhai is still young, he just gives Xiao Yao a feeling of unfathomable strength. Although he couldn't completely see through this young man's strength level, he could also perceive that this young man's strength was definitely not much worse than his own.

Such a powerful young man, not to mention that Xiao Yao had never seen it in the first half of his life, even if he did, he would recognize the other party as a peerless master who could rejuvenate himself with extraordinary skills. Because of this, Xiao Yao had a little respect for the golden-clothed young man named Zu Zhai, and he didn't dare to snub this possible peerless master in his heart.

What's more, the generation of Kuching in Central Continent has always been very troubled, even this Fenzhou City is one of the top state capital cities in Kuching in Central Continent, but it will be robbed by bandits several times a year. As for small villages such as Xinghua Village, it is the famous people in the village who organize the young and middle-aged people in the village to establish the Zhuang soldiers of their respective villages to defend themselves.

Xinghua Village is a relatively wealthy village within a radius of several hundred miles, so they can build their own walls, and they can match better swords, bows and crossbows and other weapons. And many Zhuang soldiers in Xinghua Village have iron armor, and this kind of equipment is even the envy of many imperial court troops.

It was also because of this that after Xiao Yao sensed the possible strength of the young man Zu Zhai, he invited the other party to help resist the plague that might come recently.

led the young man Zu Zhai into a farmhouse that looked very simple on the outside, which was Xiao Yao's home.

Xiao Yao's house is located in the northernmost part of Xinghua Village, and further north is the unified wine-making and wine storage place of Xinghua Village. Xiao Yao is really quite economically minded, knowing that it is better to operate alone than a group, after coming to Xinghua Village before, he spent a lot of effort to gather the winemakers in the village to carry out the unified production and sales of Xinghua Village wine, and it is really to further promote the famous Xinghua Village wine, and at the same time expand the production and sales capacity, so that Xinghua Village, which was originally rich, is now even richer than a township.

After seeing the rich life that Xiao Yao brought them, the people in the village were naturally more obedient to this outsider, and it was later that after the old village chief of Xinghua Village died in a mountain bandit, the villagers promoted Xiao Yao to the position of village chief.

After Xiao Yao ascended to the position of the head of Xinghua Village, in view of the previous bandits, he organized the young adults in the village to establish the Xinghua Village soldiers. And he himself personally taught the young people in the village martial arts, and spent a lot of money to help the village buy equipment, which made Xinghua Village have the defensive power like a small castle now.

"It turns out that Brother Xiao originally served in the border army? No wonder the younger brother saw the villagers of Xinghua Village before, and he had a little shadow of the border army. Drinking the soft and sweet apricot blossom Fen wine, Wang Yuelong smashed his mouth while chatting with Xiao Yao.

When chatting with Xiao Yao along the way before, Xiao Yao was very proud of the current armed forces in Xinghua Village, and at this moment, at Xiao Yao's home, drinking wine with Xiao Yao, listening to Xiao Yao's self-report, Wang Yuelong naturally understood him more and more.

The border army is the collective name of the sixteen border army corps set up by the imperial court on the upper continent and the western continent bordering the infinite ice field. In fact, the Infinite Ice Sheet is not a alpine ice field, in fact, the part bordering Shangzhou is a vast grassland, while the part bordering Xizhou and the Western Regions is a desolate Gobi grassland. The line of the Great Wall in Shangzhou and Zhongzhou happens to be in this area.

Because the south of the Infinite Ice Sheet is the area where the northern nomads lived in ancient times, it is the place where the Infinite Ice Sheet borders Shangzhou and Xizhou since ancient times, and it is the place where the Central Plains Dynasty and the northern nomadic regime war is the most intense.

When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the northern nomadic regime was forced to live close to the ice field, and when the Middle Court Dynasty fell into civil strife, division, and change of dynasty, it was time for the northern nomadic regime to invade southward.

The unified and powerful Central Plains Dynasty of all dynasties would set up a powerful army in the area south of the Infinite Ice Sheet to resist the invasion of the northern nomadic regime. The contemporary dynasty set up the 16th Corps of the Border Army in the places where Shangzhou, Xizhou and the Infinite Ice Fields bordered. And Xiao Yao used to be a senior officer in the Third Corps of the Border Army, but later in a war with the northern nomadic regime, due to the mistake of the superior command, he had to be the scapegoat of the black pot, was stripped of his official position and lord, and was driven out of the Third Corps of the Border Army.

As soon as he talked about those things he had done, Xiao Yao was embarrassed. After seeing the infighting of the imperial court's unofficial and military general system, Xiao Yao, who was stripped of his official position and lordship, is now living more freely, drinking wine and eating food every day, chatting and farting with a group of people in his spare time, and working together with everyone when he is busy, but he is so unhappy to live.

"It's all old, isn't it good to live like this now?" Xiao Yao carried a wine jar and chuckled, but it still had a bit of loneliness, quietly emerging.

Wang Yuelong also carried a wine jar, sitting opposite Xiao Yao, but he didn't answer when he heard the words, but just picked up the wine jar with one hand, raised his head to his mouth, and poured it violently. The crisp liquor turned into a bright silver white line, and smashed into Wang Yuelong's mouth like a waterfall from the wine jar, but not a drop splashed out, which made Xiao Yao look surprised.

"Brother Zu, Xiao has lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen someone drink so fine to you, hehe. Xiao Yao smiled, and also picked up the wine jar and poured it to his mouth. However, he looks elegant on the outside, but when he drinks wine, he also looks frivolous, and he is really unseemly.

"Haha! Good wine! Life must be full of joy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon! Good wine!" Wang Yuelong drank a jar of wine in one go, squatted heavily on the jar, and laughed loudly.

"Haha! Li Taibai is really a wine fairy! haha!"
