When all the seats were 70% to 80% full, Ran Santong slowly walked down from upstairs and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, this time the village in Hexi was saved thanks to everyone's hard work, otherwise it would have been destroyed by the fierce people in Hedong. What a waste. Here, I offer you a bowl, please feel free to eat and drink happily."
"Okay," everyone below cheered, picked up the wine, and took a swig from the bowl.
Ran Santong returned to his seat, with Ran Jie sitting on the left, Luo Feng sitting on the right, and Zhang Xuli sitting close to Ran Jie.
"Luo Feng, come here, I'll offer you a bowl of wine. It's thanks to you this time, otherwise my son might have died."
"Who said that?" Ran Jie just said something and felt something was wrong. He immediately lowered his head and said nothing, thinking that someone must have told Ran Santong about the beating. Otherwise, the rhetoric when he came back to report would definitely make Ran Santong because of his mistake. So proud of such an outstanding son.
"No one knows your fighting power." Ran Santong said something to Ran Jie, making Ran Jie lower his head.
"Hey, hey," Zhang Xuli poked Ran Jie hard, "Where are the two gold bars?"
Hearing this, Ran Jie suddenly didn't know what to do. He was particularly worried that Zhang Xuli, a bastard, would directly ask Ran Santong for gold bars. He hurriedly stabilized Zhang Xuli and said, "No hurry, wait until the dinner is over."
"You said you can't lie to me again."
"When did I lie to you?"
"Well, it seems so," Zhang Xuli scratched his head, "Anyway, just give it to me later, I have to give it to others."
"Were you also deceived?" Ran Jie asked in surprise.
"Yes," Zhang Xuli said, feeling something was wrong, "What do you mean, I was also deceived? Did I lie to you?"
"That's not cheating, it's blackmail and blackmail."
"Holy shit, you can't say that. The gold bars must be given to me, or I'll yell."
Looking at Zhang Xuli's look, you knew he was a guy who could do anything, "Okay, okay, I'll give it, I guarantee it." After saying that, Ran Jie picked up the wine bowl and said, "Here, let's drink first."
Zhang Xuli suddenly became happy when he saw the wine. He picked up the wine bowl and drank. After a few rounds, he was already drunk by Ran Jie.
Ran Santong, who was standing next to him, saw Ran Jie and Zhang Xuli drinking hard and said with a smile: "We won the battle, so don't be too happy. We will definitely fight again in the future. We must guard against the villages in Hedong."
"Village chief," Luo Feng heard Ran Santong say that the Hedong villages would come again, and said, "Since the Hedong villages don't give up, why don't we tear down the bridge."
"It's useless," Ran Santong shook his hand, "We have demolished this bridge. After demolishing it, they will quickly find something to build on the river. Moreover, if the bridge is demolished, the east passage will be cut off, and some will lead to other villages. The goods will be cut off."
"Then you can send two people to guard them. As long as a large number of people with weapons come from Hedong Village, they will come back immediately to report. This way, you can prepare early."
"Your method is good," Ran Santong agreed with Luo Feng's suggestion. "In the past, I heard villagers running over and saying that someone was looting. This way, I can at least know in advance."
Ran Santong filled up his wine bowl and handed it to Luo Feng, "Here, have a drink. Come to my office tomorrow and I will reward you."
Luo Feng also picked up his own wine bowl, touched it with Ran Santong and said, "Thank you, village chief, do it." After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at Zhang Xuli and Ran Jie next to them, the wine jar had already buried their heads, and Zhang Xuli's drowsy voice could be vaguely heard, "Come on, Ran Jie, drink again."
It was late at night, and there was silence on the Central Continent. Only in Roy Village in the southwest corner, Xiujie's room was brightly lit, and Futuo was sitting opposite him, holding a map in his hand.
"Village chief, look," Futuo pointed at the map, "this is our village, and this is Laihu Village, which was annexed by us. Now this area belongs to us. Tonight, as long as we take advantage of the night , go directly to the east and capture this village, then our territory will be larger. The most important thing is that this village, like Laihu Village, is close to us, making it easier for us to manage."
"Is this why you came to me so late?" Xiu Jie asked.
"That's right," Futuo continued: "It's dark tonight. We take action immediately and we will definitely succeed."
Xiu Jie stared at the map and captured that area, which was exactly what he wanted. However, it was dark at night, so Xiu Jie was worried, "I can't see the road clearly at night, and it will be the same tomorrow during the day."
"It's different." Seeing that Xiujie wanted to leave tomorrow, Fu Tuo was anxious and said directly: "Village Chief, they were not prepared at night, and we rushed to their village chief's house quickly, killed the village chief, and then used If our people control the village, the overall situation is basically decided. If they wait until tomorrow and see us entering the village, they will organize people to resist. With our combat power, we can win, but the losses will be huge."
Xiujie felt that Futuo was right, "Okay, call five hundred people immediately and make a surprise attack overnight."
In the night, the crowd holding torches moved eastward quickly like a fire dragon, illuminating the figures, and soon entered a village. The sound of entering the village startled the sleeping villagers, and slowly the fires lit up everywhere, and then they heard someone shouting. Shouting, "Someone from a different village has entered the village. Come quickly, someone from a different village has entered the village."
The voice gradually disappeared behind Xiu Jie, and he rushed to the village chief's home without encountering any resistance. Xiu Jie raised his knife and hacked to death the village chief who had just woken up from his sleep.
Suddenly, the village was in chaos. Under Futuo's suggestion, Xiujie quickly stabilized the villagers and recruited a certain number of villagers as militiamen to organize with his own team and strengthen his team.
The next day, Zhang Xuli rolled over and rolled off the bed. "Oops," Zhang Xuli screamed and propped up his body with his hands. "Mom, what's wrong?" Zhang Xuli felt a little weak and his head was numb. There is also a slight swelling and pain.
After confirming that he had drunk too much, Zhang Xuli walked out of the room and saw Luo Feng drinking tea in the living room.
"Get up." Luo Feng put down the teacup in his hand and said.
"Yeah," Zhang Xuli nodded, walked to Luo Feng, poured a cup of tea, picked it up, and was about to drink it.
"I got the gold bar." Luo Feng asked coldly.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Zhang Xuli suddenly stopped what he was doing, and stood there stiffly, with a look of sudden awakening on his face, and whispered softly to himself: "Good boy, mother, I deliberately fed you yesterday." liquor."
"Don't change the topic," Luo Feng continued: "It's better to ask Ran Jie for the gold bar. It might be useful in the future."
"Everyone knows that gold bars are useful. They are useful today, they are useful tomorrow, and they will be useful in the future."
"Come on, come on, let's go get the gold bars." Luo Feng stood up, took his belongings with him, and walked out of the residence with Zhang Xuli to the Hexi Village Office.
