Chapter 704 Lunar Eclipse Night Crisis (1)

Chapter 704

After all, Wang Chong is the prince of the imperial court, and he is also a disciple of the son of heaven bestowed by the Holy Emperor. Wushang is within Wang Chong's territory and accepts Wang Chong's jurisdiction. It is reasonable to respond to Zheng Mo. But I didn't expect that Wushang Village would be so unreasonable.

There was no room for relaxation at all, so he refused directly.

Thinking about it again, when the sergeant he led before was injured, everyone's faces became even uglier. You know, with Wang Chong's status, he could actually mobilize a large army to besiege Wushang Village.

"presumptuous!"

Gao Feng was the first to stand up and stand up for Wang Chong. With Wang Chong's current status, even the heads of those aristocratic and well-established families in the capital who have been in business for a hundred years and have a large family business have to be polite and courteous to him. These people in Wushang Village are going too far .

"peak……"

Wang Chong stretched out a palm to stop Gao Feng. He came to summon the people of Suwushang Village, not to seek revenge. And one thing, the patriarch of Wushang Village probably didn't lie. That is, Wushang Village does have traditions, and one cannot easily leave the village and involve the outside world.

Otherwise, no one would have known about Wushang Village for nearly a thousand years, until now.

Wang Chong also heard about this rule from Fang Xiaoyan, so he knew it clearly. However, rules are dead, people are alive, if the rules really cannot be changed, in the future, he will not be able to recruit five thousand black wounded men and horses, and become the supreme commander of the world-famous "black wounded cavalry".

No matter what the village chief of Wushang Village said, Wang Chong always believed that there was definitely a way for them to change their traditions and accept recruitment.

"Hey, grandpa, why are you here?"

It was too late to say, but soon, when the atmosphere was at its most stagnant, a familiar, childish voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Wang Chong turned his head and saw the edge of the square at a glance. A little girl with a petite body, but brisk steps, and extremely agile like a civet cat, was carrying a big iron box taller and bigger than her body, bouncing towards Walk towards the square.

"Hey, big brother, are you here?"

The little girl bounced around, and finally noticed Wang Chong who was opposite the white-haired old man, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Buzz!"

With the appearance of the little girl, with just a few words, the originally stagnant atmosphere suddenly relaxed,

It eased up a lot.

"This child..."

The white-haired old man gave a wry smile, his serious, old-fashioned, and inhuman expression suddenly melted like ice, and he couldn't keep it up anymore:

"Little Yan!"

The white-haired old man waved towards the distance while talking.

"According to the time, it should be almost here."

Wang Chong glanced at the little girl who appeared on the edge of the square, and smiled slightly, as if he had expected this scene.

"Grandpa, I forgot to tell you. This is when I met friends outside, and they gave me a big box of scallops, haha, then I can stay with me in the village without going out for several days Luoluo have fun."

The little girl jumped up and down, like a civet cat, and slipped to the white-haired old man's feet in one swipe, hugged his thigh, and rubbed against his leg like a kitten, making the white-haired old man I can't laugh or cry.

"By the way, big brother, this box of yours is not bad. I gave the Wujiancao to the elder, and left this box, which happens to be a nest for my Luoluo."

The little girl turned her head to look at Wang Chong on the opposite side again.

"Hehe, as long as you like it."

Wang Chong smiled.

"Xiaoyan, you've been busy all day today, are you tired?"

"My uncle and grandma have prepared some snacks and put them on the table. You can eat them."

"Little guy, don't worry about the fox all the time, remember to practice kung fu at ordinary times!"

...

A group of elders of Wushang Village looked at the little girl and greeted her one after another, all of them showing affection and doting in their eyes. It was completely different from the expression and tone in front of Wang Chong and others before.

"I know, I know."

The little girl pursed her mouth and waved her hand with a look of impatience. Her eyes quickly fell on Wang Chong on the other side.

"By the way, big brother, have you found your friend yet?"

"found it."

Wang Chong nodded with a smile, and glanced at Li Siye and the others behind him.

"So it's them!"

The little girl frowned slightly, but soon became happy:

"It's good if you find it, grandpa, they are all my friends, you can't bully them. Brother, I won't chat with you anymore. Find my Luoluo."

The little girl carried her big iron box on her back, without saying a word, crossed the square again, happily heading towards the other end of the square.

Looking at the back of the little girl and the huge iron box, the white-haired old man and a group of elders smiled helplessly. However, it's not good to be so cold-faced after being made such a fuss by the little girl.

"Master Hou, Xiaoyan has never been very willing to get close to outsiders. Since she is willing to speak for you, at least your character is not bad, and you are not evil people. It's just that there are rules in Wushang Village. Definitely. Even if I am the patriarch, I can’t disobey. I hope Lord Hou can understand this point, it’s not that our Wushang Village doesn’t want to help. So, Lord Hou, please come back!”

The white-haired old man said, this time the tone has eased a lot, but the meaning expressed is still the same as the first time, and there is no loose meaning.

Li Siye, Gao Feng, and Nie Yan all looked at Wang Chong at this time. It was absolutely impossible for Wushang Village to respond to Zhao Mou. Now everything depends on how Wang Chong responds.

"Hehe, old man, even if that's the case, I don't want to force myself. However, it's getting late now, and Wushang Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. There are high mountains and cliffs everywhere. If you make a mistake, you will be in an abyss. How about letting me stay here for a while and wait until tomorrow to go out?"

Wang Chong looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and said.

"this……"

The white-haired old man frowned slightly with his crouching silkworm eyebrows, instinctively refusing, but thinking of the little girl, he hesitated again:

"Okay, but you have to leave at dawn tomorrow. Elder Ninth, take them to the village to rest and settle down first. When they leave at dawn tomorrow, release the subordinates they are traveling with."

"Yes, patriarch."

Wu Jiumei nodded seriously, then turned her head to face Wang Chong:

"Everyone, please come with me. However, there is only one night. After one night, you must leave anyway."

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded, but his feet did not move.

"Mr., I know that you have made up your mind, and you will not change it easily no matter what. I also know that no matter what I say, you will not believe it easily. However, I still have a piece of advice. I hope the old man can listen to it. !"

"oh?"

The head of Wushang Village, who had white beard and hair, frowned with a puzzled look on his face. Even Wu Jiumei stopped in her tracks, not understanding what the young Hou of the Tang court was trying to do.

Especially when the patriarch has clearly rejected him.

"Don't eat rock salt!"

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he stopped stagnating and led Li Siye, Gao Feng, Nie Yan and others, and followed Wu Jiumei to the distance. The head of Wushang Village, who was left behind with white beard and hair, trembled slightly, looking at Wang Chong's back with thoughtful eyes.

...

It was getting late and the sky was full of stars.

In the few stone houses at the very edge of Wushang Village, Wang Chong, Li Siye, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and a master guard from a great family gathered together.

"Master Hou, what should we do? We have to leave after dawn, do we really just give up like this?"

In the stone house, Gao Feng suddenly broke the silence.

"Although the people in Wushang Village are very rebellious, it is difficult to subdue them. But if you can really recruit them, this is indeed a very powerful force."

Nie Yan also said aside, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Although the people in Wushang Village are very xenophobic, and they don't care about the imperial court's orders at all, and they don't obey orders, and even Li Siye, a fierce general who has made great achievements in battle, almost fell into Wushang Village, but frankly speaking, this is also true. It proved the powerful strength of Wushang Village.

Such a hidden village, which has not been coveted by any forces, is simply a "blessed place" for recruiting elite soldiers. It is a pity to let it go like this. After staying in Wushang Village for such a long time, Nie Yan's mind turned over and over again, basically it was the scene of Wushang Villagers using huge rocks weighing several thousand catties or even thousands of catties to torment them.

Such a spectacular scene, except for places like Wushang Village, I am afraid that it is difficult to see it in any other place!

"I'm sorry, Master Hou, I messed up this task. I owe Master Hou's entrustment!"

Li Siye lowered his head with shame on his face.

This two-meter-tall, high-spirited burly man seldom gave in to others, but at this moment, he lowered his proud head in front of Wang Chong and a group of elite guards. Recruiting soldiers is just a small thing.

When Li Siye left the capital, he was also full of ambition, and he made a promise to Wang Chong that he would definitely complete the task.

A man who promises a lot, promises a thousand gold!

But at this moment, I have undoubtedly screwed up.

Since being summoned by Wang Chong, he left Beiting and followed Wang Chong all the way to fight. Whether it was to conquer the Black Dragon Gang, set foot on the Uzang Plateau, spread the plague, or set fire to the granary, cutting off the retreat of the Mengshezhao people... No matter how difficult the task was, Li Siye tried his best to complete it!

But this time, in this little-known Wushang Village, Li Siye stumbled for the first time.

Not only did he fail to complete the task, even half of his soldiers were captured, and even he sacrificed his indomitable Uzi steel weapon, but in the end, he was still no match for these Wushang people.

"Hehe, Siye, don't blame yourself, I know, you have tried your best."

A group of people sat on the ground, Wang Chong patted Li Siye's generous, tall, and stalwart back, and comforted him, his expression completely indifferent:

"There are people beyond the people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Although Wushangren is not well-known, no one has ever said that without fame, there is no strength. In fact, let alone you this time, even if Lord Zhangchou appears here, I'm afraid I'm going to smash my halberd into the sand and return without success."
