Chapter 709 Sudden Conquest Achieved (1)
Chapter 709
The person who scolded Wang Chong just now was full of disbelief. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that Wang Chong actually had this ability.
You know, they have just tried all the methods, including the black alkali grass.
"The village chief! The village chief! The village chief!..."
After the initial stupefaction, everyone quickly came back to their senses, each of them was surprised and delighted, and they gathered around the patriarch's stone bed with extremely excited expressions.
Wushang Village is conservative and exclusive, but it also maintains its simple feelings. Wushang Village has the highest status and the most respected person is the patriarch. Many people were raised by him.
For the people in Wushang Village, he is also the spiritual leader of everyone.
When the patriarch fell, everyone was helpless, all of them were helpless and panicked. Many people even thought that the patriarch might be leaving.
Now that the patriarch finally recovered and woke up, the excitement in everyone's hearts can be imagined.
When everyone flocked to the patriarch's side, only Wu Jiumei stood behind, sighing, looking at Wang Chong's back with a complicated expression, grateful and ashamed.
With the attitude that Wu Shangren treated him during the day, ordinary people would have ignored him and left. But the other party was able to help Wushang Village regardless of past suspicions, which made Wu Jiumei feel quite ashamed while being grateful.
"Master Hou, thank you!"
Wu Jiumei stepped forward and said sincerely.
Before today, no one thought that this year would be a rare lunar eclipse in several years, and it was the time when the cloudy and dark atmosphere was the strongest.
For the people of Wushang Village, this kind of time is fatal. If the young man in front of him hadn't appeared in time with the pill, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Wang Chong just smiled and didn't say much.
"grandfather!"
In the room, seeing the old man waking up, the little girl also burst into tears and rushed over excitedly. Wang Chong stood behind, watching the scene silently, with a knowing smile on his face.
No matter what, she finally helped the future Fang Xiaoyan to do something to make up for a regret in her heart.
It's all over, and there's no need for him anymore.
Without alarming anyone, Wang Chong quickly retreated from the room.
...
"Is everything taken care of?"
It was pitch black outside the room, and a huge figure stood in the night, as majestic as a mountain.
"Let Gao Feng and Nie Yan handle it, and all the hundreds of pills they brought have been melted into the water and fed to the people in Wushang Village to swallow them all. Now their situation has stabilized."
Li Siye's majestic and powerful voice came from the darkness, with a special texture that made people feel the power of sincerity.
"Um."
Wang Chong didn't say any more.
He listened carefully for a while, and in the dark night, the originally chaotic Wushang Village gradually calmed down, and the successive howls and miserable sounds disappeared together.
The village slowly regained its calm.
Wang Chong nodded slightly imperceptibly. Obviously, the elixir he brought had already played a role, otherwise it would not be so quiet.
"Tell the others to come back as soon as you finish what you are doing! We are still staying at the place where Wushang people arranged for us to stay."
"Yes, my lord."
Li Siye's voice came from the darkness.
Turning around, Wang Chong quickly walked towards the previous stone house. But Kankan took two steps, and a voice came from his mind:
"Congratulations to the host, for completing the mission 'The Marshal's Call', all rewards will be distributed after dawn."
The voice of the Stone of Destiny was flat and indifferent, without the slightest emotion, and without any ups and downs, but it sounded like the sound of nature to Wang Chong's ears at this moment.
It worked!
Wang Chong paused and clenched his fist slightly. "Heaven pays off those who wait and see." Wushangren's xenophobia, conservatism, and strict adherence to tradition make it almost impossible for them to submit to any force before the catastrophe.
These people don't even care about their identities as young princes, disciples of the Son of Heaven, or the official background of the imperial court, and the will they reveal can be imagined.
However, the "Eclipse Night" event in Wushang Village still provided him with an excellent opportunity.
The night of the lunar eclipse was the most influential event in the history of Wushang Village. If he hadn't appeared here, the number of casualties in Wushang Village would have been at least two to three thousand, or even more.
Before the catastrophe, this was the only chance to gain the goodwill of the xenophobic Wushang people. There is no doubt that his plan worked.
He successfully reversed this tragedy and won the favor of Wushang Village.
The voice of the Stone of Destiny is the best affirmation of one's actions!
It's just that the only thing that surprised Wang Chong was that in the past, the Stone of Destiny would only be prompted after the entire mission was completely completed.
This is true whether it is the "Jiedushi Incident" or the Southwest "Elegy of the Empire" incident. But this time it's obviously different:
The matter was not completely over yet, he had just fed Wushangren's pills and fresh water, and there was the sound of the Stone of Destiny prompting, which had never happened before.
"Is it because Wushang Village is only a small village, not in the main process of history, and the current influence is not too great? Or is it because I rescued Wu Jiumei and the patriarch of Wushang Village first?" ? Take the high-level route?"
Wang Chong's eyes rolled, and his mind went up and down one after another. After thinking about it, I'm afraid it has something to do with Wushang Village being an unknown small mountain village.
"Although I don't know how you calculate, but if you think so, then you are making a big mistake."
As Wang Chong thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.
Wushang Village is indeed very small, with a population of 50,000 to 60,000, it is only an insignificant number in the world. What's more, they are still so conservative, xenophobic, and strict in tradition.
In terms of influence alone, their current influence is indeed very small, but as long as they give themselves a chance, their future influence is absolutely immeasurable!
The Wushang Iron Cavalry with 5,000 men has already conquered the world with him, invincible, and made great contributions. Now the great catastrophe has not yet happened, and the Wushang people have not been seriously injured. There are a total of 50,000 to 60,000 Wushang people. This torrent of power is unimaginable to anyone!
"Distributing rewards after dawn... interesting!"
Thinking of the last voice of the Stone of Destiny, Wang Chong's eyes flashed an interesting look, but soon, Wang Chong regained his composure.
Gao Feng, Nie Yan and others also finished their work and returned to the stone house. A peaceful night until dawn.
...
The moon is setting and the stars are sinking, dawn is breaking in the east, and a round of bright red sun rises from the horizon, emitting a radiant light! A series of red lights dyed the mountains, and the high mountains around Wushang Village have been covered with red clouds.
Before I knew it, it was dawn, and it was finally time to leave as agreed before!
"Master Hou, what should we do?"
At the gate, Li Siye sat cross-legged, with a straight body, like a tiger sitting on a dragon's plate, with the giant Uzi steel sword that was as tall as a man lying horizontally in his hand. He seemed to have not slept all night. When he opened his eyes, there were still bloodshot eyes, and he seemed to be preoccupied and suffering.
"Are we really going with empty hands, just like this?"
Li Siye struggled all over his face. The mission Wang Chong gave him was a complete failure with the rejection of the head of Wushang Village. In Li Siye's life, this has never happened before.
Seeing that it was time to leave as agreed, Li Siye always felt deeply unwilling.
"Hehe, let's go! Why don't you go? Gao Feng and Nie Yan are awake, it's almost time, we should prepare to leave."
Unexpectedly, after waking up, Wang Chong had a calm face, completely free from the frustration of failing the recruitment mission.
"ah?!!"
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
No one expected that Wang Chong would make a decision so easily, without any burden. But when Wang Chong spoke, no one dared to resist, and everyone had to stand up, pack their things, and prepare to leave.
In the early morning, Wushang Village was quiet and peaceful, and there was no noise from last night at all.
Wang Chong bowed slightly, and walked out of the stone house. Outside, there was a myriad of rays of light, shining on the mountains, as well as the row upon row of stone houses and the broad stone square in Wushang Village.
Everything is bathed in the morning sun, picturesque!
"It's so beautiful, I hope I will always be so quiet and peaceful!"
Wang Chong thought to himself
It is precisely because I have seen the broken state of the mountains and rivers that I feel more and more precious now. No matter what, Wang Chong hoped that this paradise-like village and the land of China under his feet could forever maintain the picturesque beauty in front of him!
"Lord Hou!"
A voice came from behind, pulling back Wang Chong's thoughts. After a short while, all the guards, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and Li Siye, as well as his soldiers, and those who were captured came out of the stone house together.
Last night, after all the arrangements were made, Wu Jiumei had already released the captives.
"Let's go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong flapped his sleeves and strode like the wind, leading Li Siye, Gao Feng, Nie Yan and others towards the mountains to the west.
When they came, they came from the west, and Zhang Shouzhi and the others were waiting for him in that direction. Now that the matter is over, of course it should go back there.
"Wait a minute, Lord Hou, please stay."
It was too late to say it, but it was soon, when Wang Chong led the crowd and was about to leave from Wushang Village, a voice suddenly came from the other end of the square.
Accompanied by the sound, there was a burst of footsteps that were getting closer and closer.
When Wang Chong turned his head, he saw the morning sun shining, and at the other end of the square that was burning like a flame, a group of people from Wushang Village were hurriedly walking towards him.
The leader, with white beard and hair, was the head of Wushang Village, and Huan Wu Jiumei, Huang Botian and other Wushang Village elders and guardians, as well as other village backbones, were accompanying him.
Even the little girl Fang Xiaoyan was included in it.
