There was something important, so Ran Jie did not dare to delay and replied: "Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, he stood up, said goodbye to Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli, and left the restaurant.
Watching Ran Jie leave, Zhang Xuli asked curiously: "What big deal could this be? I haven't told you or me yet."
Now in the Central Continent, the biggest thing for every village is to rob others or be robbed by others.
"No matter how many," Luo Feng picked up the wine bowl and drank with Zhang Xuli before saying, "Try our best to lead the team well. It may be useful in the future."
"You take your time, and I'll do the soy sauce."
"I just thought I could find Xiu Jie sometime and take revenge."
"Forget it, I haven't heard anyone say that Xiu Jie is doing well now, with more people and more land."
"That's right, I don't know when I can get my revenge."
"There is always a chance. Maybe one day he will be wiped out by other villages."
"If Hexi Village can develop, we won't have to worry about Xiujie."
"As bad as Ran Jie?" Zhang Xuli said with a look of contempt, "His Ran Santong is okay, but he is too indecisive and has no future."
"But we can only rely on them." Luo Feng looked disappointed and took a sip of wine.
The sky is slowly getting darker. Under the night, there are few people on the streets of Hexi Village. Only in the moonlight can you still vaguely see the shop signs on both sides.
Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli finished drinking and walked on the street, preparing to go to their residence.
The light in the alley at the corner was very dark, and I could vaguely see a figure lying on the ground, curled up in a ball, snoring "huhu".
"Zhongzhou is the world, and the world is Zhongzhou. The earth is broken and unified, and the hearts of the people are unified."
Luo Feng stopped and looked around the corner of the street.
"Lao Luo, what are you looking at? Let's go quickly." Zhang Xuli urged Luo Feng to leave quickly.
"Did he make that sound just now?" Luo Feng said in surprise.
Zhang Xuli followed Luo Feng's line of sight and saw a middle-aged man in ragged clothes and disheveled hair lying on the ground, as if he was asleep. His mouth was still moving and saying something, but he couldn't hear clearly. .
"A bastard who doesn't know how to make a living has ended up like this, and he's still trying to make a name for himself in the world." Zhang Xuli looked disapproving.
"Young man, maybe I will do better than you tomorrow." The voice came from the middle-aged man again.
"Compare tomorrow to today." Zhang Xuli shouted to the man.
"You can't compare to my freedom today."
"Why am I not free? Why am I not free?" Zhang Xuli stepped forward and asked hurriedly.
Luo Feng grabbed Zhang Xuli and asked the ragged man: "Brother, what does this splitting the soil into one mean?"
"It's not time yet, go to sleep." After saying that, the man turned over and started snoring again.
"What the hell is this?" Zhang Xuli yelled from the side.
Luo Feng's face was full of surprise and he asked again. The man was only sleeping. Luo Feng left the dark street under Zhang Xuli's urging.
When Ran Jie returned to the village office, the door was closed. He asked a militiaman guarding the village office door to open the door, and then went up the stairs to the village chief's office under the faint moonlight.
"Dad, why are you here if you don't go home so late to tell me something? It's all dark."
In the office, with the flickering light of a slender red candle, Ran Santong bent over and stared at a map on his desk, saying: "Come here quickly."
Ran Jie stepped forward and looked down at the map.
"Look, this is our Hexi village, and this is the Hedong village. These lands are all ours," Ran Santong said while gesturing on the map. "Look here again, this is the Gar village, which is far away from us and far away from Hedong." The village is also some distance away, but there is no village between Gar village and Hedong village. If we occupy Gar village, then the entire place will be ours."
"Dad, you won't talk about these things tomorrow." Ran Jie didn't understand that these things, even if they are important, can be talked about tomorrow.
Ran Santong straightened his waist and said with a solemn expression, "But opportunities don't always come."
"What opportunity?" Ran Jie asked.
"I heard that Lu Qing and Bai Liguang from Jiaer Village took most of the people out of the village to plunder other surrounding villages." Ran Santong looked thoughtful, "I wonder if we can directly occupy their village."
With the experience of occupying the villages in Hedong, Ran Santong thought of occupying the village of Jiaer through the same method, but he was a little hesitant.
Ran Jie was overjoyed when he heard that Lu Qing and Baili Guang were not present in Jiaer Village, "Haha, okay, I haven't done any meritorious deeds as a battalion commander. This time is just right. Dad, I'll set off right away."
"But, I am worried." Ran Santong hesitated, "Do you want to ask Luo Feng?"
"Dad, you said this is an opportunity. I can just go and make a contribution, establish my prestige among the militia, and tell Luo Feng and the others that they have shared the credit, so why should I take advantage of them?"
Ran Santong was still worried, but he didn't say anything to stop him. After all, this was a great achievement. If Ran Jie successfully captured the village of Gar, he would have the foundation to take over the position of village chief in the future.
"Forget it, dad, go back to bed and wait for news of my victory tomorrow." Ran Jie left the office immediately after saying that and went to the training ground.
The training ground was exceptionally quiet under the moonlight. There were two torches at the guard station at the door. The flickering light of the fire illuminated two standing militiamen.
Seeing Ran Jie coming, the two militiamen had different looks on their faces. Under normal circumstances, the battalion commander would not appear at this time, and they shouted in unison: "Batalion Commander."
Ran Jie pointed to a militiaman and said, "Go and call everyone together right away."
"Yes." The militiaman turned around and ran into the training ground and shouted to the barracks on both sides: "Get up, assemble, get up, assemble."
Sounds echoed on the training ground, firelights lit up in the barracks, messy footsteps sounded outside the barracks, torches began to light up on the training ground, and groups of people stood with sleepy faces.
Ran Jie walked up to the crowd, glanced around with his eyes, and said loudly: "Everyone, the current Central Continent is an era of land grabs. Whoever grabs more will be rich. Now there is a good opportunity. Lu Qing and Bai from Jiaer Village Li Guang took the people out, and we set off overnight to rob their village before they came back."
Everyone's faces slowly woke up from their sleep. When they heard that they were going to rob the village of Gar, they all looked at each other in shock, with a hint of joy, but they were all covered by the night.
"Gather your weapons and set off."
Following Ran Jie's order, groups of militiamen quickly walked out of the training ground.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and some Garr villagers who got up early opened the door of their houses. Some were doing business, some were doing morning exercises, and some were on their way. There were slowly more and more people on the street.
