The entire Maguan Village was instantly drowned in the cheers of the villagers.
The two taels of silver that Qin Feng rewarded each household simply saved lives.
Maguan Village was attacked by Chen Yanzong, and more than twenty men were lost, all of whom were strong laborers. Moreover, spring had already begun, and spring plowing was getting closer and closer.
With so many men lost, it is almost unrealistic to farm as usual.
And those families that have not lost a male will inevitably have to help the villagers. As a result, every household will not have enough food to eat.
These two taels of silver are not only enough for the people of Maguan Village to spend this year safely and worry-free.
Even after the autumn harvest, the remaining money was enough to be used by the men in the village as travel expenses to the north.
The villagers have finally seen through it. The prince in front of them will not play tricks with the people at all. If they want to help, then they will provide real help.
A group of villagers surrounded Qin Feng, cheering and jumping.
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
"How can you know that it is not a blessing? Although the village was attacked by bandits, it met the prince because of it. This can be regarded as the blessing of Maguan Village."
"That's right. Once the prince comes, our whole village feels different."
"Don't stop me. After the autumn harvest, I will go to Beixi County to join the army no matter what."
"And I!"
"Being able to serve Beixi County is a blessing that I have earned over several lifetimes."
Just as the dark clouds shrouding Maguan Village gradually dispersed, Uhli, who was located in En Mountain, stood at the foot of the mountain, looking forward to it.
According to time calculation, Chen Yanzong should have led the team back an hour ago.
As a result, I haven't seen anyone yet, so it's probably an accident.
Although……
From the very beginning, Uhli knew that Maguan Village was a tough nut to crack, and those villagers who were forced into a desperate situation were bound to fight to the death.
But with Chen Yanzong's bravery and armor, it is still difficult for a group of mountain villagers to kill Chen Yanzong.
From the bottom of his heart, Wu Heli did not want Chen Yanzong to die outside. After all, this was the sworn brother he had brought with him along the way.
But……
As Wu Cheng said, Chen Yanzong acted recklessly, was violent, and liked to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The most important thing is that this guy threatened to challenge Qin Feng again and again.
Let me ask, who is Qin Feng?
Looking at the entire Liang Dynasty, he was the most important person after Emperor Liang, the King of the North, and he had countless elite soldiers and generals under his command.
Even in the Southern Territory, if given the choice, they would not go to war with Qin Feng.
In the final analysis, Wu Huli and others are just a group of rabble. If they want to achieve great things, they must keep a low profile. Let alone a big shot like Qin Feng, even a random warlord general is not what Wu Huli and the others can do. Offended.
The right way is to keep a low profile and accumulate strength under the noses of those big shots.
If you stay with Chen Yanzong, sooner or later, you will be dragged to death by him.
At this moment, Wu Cheng came to Uhri and sighed softly.
"Brother, stop looking, the fourth child will never come back."
"The small hill is already within Qin Feng's range of activities. There must be a large number of secret sentries and scouting horses in that place."
"When the Fourth Brother and a hundred people pass by a small hill, they will inevitably be discovered by Qin Feng's scouting horse."
"If he is fast enough and immediately turns his horse around and leaves Maguan Village after attacking the men in Maguan Village, he will still have time to retreat."
"On the other hand, if he persists in killing the old, weak, women and children, the resistance from Maguan Village will only be stronger."
"In this case, they will be trapped in Maguan Village, and Qin Feng will lead the Qingqi to support them."
Wu Cheng had calculated everything, but Chen Yanzong did not come back on time, which is enough to prove that the development of the situation was carried out exactly as Wu Cheng expected.
At this time, Chen Yanzong may have been beheaded in public.
Wu Cheng also doesn't want to see his sworn brothers along the way die unexpectedly, but if he wants to achieve great things, he must be decisive and ruthless.
"The fourth brother is a good brother. If we don't plan to develop and expand, but find a piece of wasteland, reclaim it, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, things will definitely have a different outcome."
"But since we want to achieve great things, we must kick out the black sheep like the fourth child."
"Besides, back in Ming County, if the fourth child hadn't rushed in, the third child wouldn't have died..."
"This kid never knows how high the sky is."
Uhri closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He took Lei Meng and fled the Yuezhao Kingdom and wandered around Daliang. He met Wu Cheng and Chen Yanzong successively. The four of them became sworn brothers and vowed to work together to create a great cause.
Along the way, the brothers support and encourage each other so that they can grit their teeth and survive one desperate situation after another.
But now, in order to achieve great things, brothers have to turn against each other. Is this really worth it?
Uhri couldn't explain clearly, but there was no turning back when he fired his bow. Now he had no choice but to walk all the way to darkness.
Wu Heli stopped worrying about Chen Yanzong's life and death and sighed deeply.
"We are very lucky and have the support of the wealthy families in the south, but we are also very unlucky and have offended Qin Feng thoroughly."
"When we met in Ming County, I could already see that others' hatred of evil is just talk, but Qin Feng regards it as a creed."
"His ability to rush to the rescue of Maguan Village overnight proves this point even more."
"There has been no war in Gusu recently. I am sure that Qin Feng will free his hands and come to encircle and suppress us."
Wu Cheng nodded repeatedly: "As expected of the eldest brother, he has great vision!"
"Qin Feng's strategy for dealing with the Southern Territory is to win over the people of the Southern Territory. As a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, he naturally regards protecting the people of the Southern Territory as his own responsibility."
"The attack on Maguan Village was the trigger for Qin Feng to make up his mind and come to encircle and suppress us."
"But it doesn't matter..."
"After all, we have deployed a large amount of supplies in the Qilian Mountains. As soon as Qin Feng comes, we only need to hide in the mountains."
"I never believe that Qin Feng will leave the war in Gusu City alone and go deep into the Qilian Mountains."
In this regard, Uhri basically agrees with Wu Cheng's judgment.
Even if Qin Feng goes his own way, he is still the frontline supervising commander. It is unjustifiable for him to ignore the war for these thieves.
Uhli's eyes gradually became firm.
"Let's wait and see for a while. Don't go out to attack villages recently, so as not to play into Qin Feng's hands."
"The supplies that were transported to the mountains before are not enough. We will continue to transport them in. In addition to food and medicine, we will transport more building materials."
"Once summer arrives, the humidity in the Qilian Mountains is very high. Without a decent storage place, food and medicinal materials will quickly spoil."
