It was just after dawn, and a busy day had already begun on a hidden peak in the Yuzhong Mountains.
Get up early to make rice, smoke is curling up from the kitchen. Pairs of bare-chested men wearing tight-fitting shorts trotted to gather at the foot of the mountain, then left the village gate and jumped up and down along with the undulating forest. Although they sometimes bumped and even fell, most of them Most of the time, he can still be called agile.
I ran a long circle around the foot of the mountain and back to the mountain, and finally returned to the village. When entering the village gate, many people in the team smiled and glanced subconsciously at the natural shape of the unique double-sword arch of the village gate, feeling a little warm in their hearts. Most of them found a place to stay here after being desperate. Now, after a few months, I feel at ease and have come to regard this place as my home.
"Okay, that's it for today's morning practice. You guys go back to eat. Chenchu will gather at the school ground. Everyone should bring their equipment and don't be late. Let's break up!"
"yes!"
After a shout, the team dispersed, and Nie Yong was the only one left on the school field. He wiped the sweat from his cheeks and turned around to walk home.
However, Nie Yong has not yet married. His home is actually the home of his master Li Longcheng. In addition to the master, there is also a master's wife and two senior sisters in the family.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a table in the courtyard. White steamed buns, pickles, and porridge were already placed on the table. Two young women in simple clothes were coming out with dishes and chopsticks, and one of them was holding a basket of freshly washed wild onions.
"Xiaoyong is back? Go and wash up quickly. Come back for dinner after washing up!"
"Okay, second sister."
The yard is very large, covering four houses. Nie Yong returned to his house, picked up a bucket of water on the way, and washed himself in the water room. When he returned to the main courtyard, his family had already arrived.
"Okay, let's eat."
Li Longcheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, spoke, and then the family started to use chopsticks.
After the meal, the three women cleared away the tableware and Nie Yong cleared away the tables and chairs. The yard was soon tidied up.
After making tea, Li Longcheng sat down in the yard. He picked up the big bow and put it on his knees. A stream of spiritual energy circulated inside and outside the big bow. This is called cultivating the instrument. Over time, it can promote a tacit understanding between yourself and the magical instrument in your hand. The statement is mysterious, but it is said to be effective.
"How are your Arrow teams doing now?"
Nie Yong also followed his master's lead and took out his bow, put it on his knees and stroked it. It's just that his true energy can't communicate with the ordinary longbow in his hand. It's all about getting familiar with the equipment.
"Returning to Master, those people have good physical strength, and their arm and wrist strength are also very good. Several of them have experience in using bows for hunting before, and there is no obstacle to practicing basic archery. The formation training is also okay. They are just literate. There aren’t many, so it’s a bit difficult to teach the formation changes, and it’s also a bit troublesome to remember the order flags.”
"It's good if you can practice. This is your first time training so many people, so you must do it well. In the future, this will be an important qualification for you in the village. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me and I will help you. Find a way.
In addition, your eldest sister came back yesterday and said that Master Pan’s first batch of barrier-breaking pills has been completed, and a total of two pills have been released. I asked for one for you. After the elixir has cooled down in two days, you can start preparing to take the elixir. I hope you can achieve something this time.
But you have to think clearly about the price of the Barrier-Breaking Pill. "
When Nie Yong heard this, he almost jumped up with joy, but after hearing the last sentence, his expression froze, but then he smiled again and said: "Disciple knows the pros and cons. However, if I don't rely on the barrier-breaking pill, my talent is so great, I won't be able to survive this life." Unfortunately, if you look at the mystery, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Now that you have the opportunity to change your destiny, how can you give up?
It’s only ten years of life, so there’s nothing wrong with changing the opportunity! "
Li Longcheng said nothing, he could understand his apprentice's thoughts. He even heard such words more than once. Only a few decades ago. At that time, he was not yet the sixth master of the mountain.
"Just figure it out for yourself. Then adjust your condition well in the past two days. Although the effect of the barrier-breaking pill is relatively stable, you should be fully prepared if you are not afraid of 10,000 or even 10,000."
"Don't worry, Master, my disciple will definitely do his best."
Li Longcheng did not chat with his apprentice for too long. It was getting late, and Nie Yong was still busy with training matters, and he needed to go to the village leader. Someone came yesterday to tell them that there was something to discuss early this morning. He guessed that it must be related to the black-robed warriors in the village who also practiced all day long but seemed out of place in the village.
It stands to reason that the number of those black-robed warriors is small, there are only about twenty of them now, and each one is only a seventh or eighth grade warrior, so they do not pose a threat to the village. Moreover, behind these people is a big boss who is very wealthy and probably has a military background. The copycat should be in peace with him for the time being.
But these people seemed to be deliberately showing off what they had in their hands. First there were boatloads of rations, then large crossbows and even armor.
Even Li Longcheng couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster when he thought of these sophisticated ordnance. Because he knows very well what the core of a copycat is, and he also understands the difference between a copycat and an ordinary bandit. It was also because of this that he understood the irresistible attraction these ordnance had to the copycats.
Sure enough, what Li Longcheng said when he got down to business in the meeting hall was exactly what he had guessed. It was for those black-robed warriors. To be precise, it was for the weapons in their hands.
The leader of the village, Li Tianfang, sat at the top and explained the situation of the latest people who arrived at the village.
"Only seven people came this time. Counting the previous two times, there were twenty-one of them in the stronghold. All of these people were carrying large crossbows and armor. They should have received small-scale joint attack training. It's enough to defend around their warehouse.
I've personally explored it secretly before. The ordnance in the hands of these people is all new, which means that they may not have come directly from the military establishment. But private armed forces. "
After Li Tianfang finished speaking, the people below immediately started discussing. Excitement flashed in every eye.
"Hehe, it seems that he is either a big corrupt man in the military, or a wealthy businessman who has close contacts with the military and knows his business. I hope it is the latter, then it will be more difficult to deal with."
"Easy to deal with? I think it should be easy to swallow! Hahaha!"
"Where are you going? Only by putting a long line in can you catch big fish. You have to wait a little longer."
"But what if the situation changes suddenly? We may not be able to eat much meat by then?"
No one cares about the power behind those black-robed warriors. After all, Daomen Village is not a vegetarian. In addition, the recruitment of troops has been expanding rapidly recently, and it is not unreasonable to invade with private armed forces. We are confident that there will be no return. So every word seems to be thinking carefully about how to maximize profits.
Even Li Longcheng thought this way, but he was used to silence and did not speak up to participate in the discussion.
"So, I think we can contact them in advance. If we can get some ordnance first, it will definitely be a big help to our Daomen Village!" Li Tianfang concluded. This is why he asked the brothers below to gather together for discussion today.
"Get it in advance? Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Don't they like to spend money to negotiate deals? Let's follow their approach. Use their money or other things in exchange for the weapons in their hands."
"Would they like this?"
"Let's give it a try. If you don't agree, then use some means. How can we control them in our territory?" Li Tianfang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking full of confidence.
