Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8690 Prestige
Dalin Village.

Ouyang Heng did not leave in the end, but stayed in Dalin Village.

He has already sent a secret letter to the county governor's office, and we will see how long it will take for them to arrive.

Around noon on the second day, the villagers discovered that the blacksmith in the village was missing.

The old village chief, Bashan, sat on a chair smoking a cigarette and said, "Blacksmith Li escaped from somewhere else a few years ago. He may have a problem."

He already knew about the thieves.

He was very disturbed when he learned that the group of thieves actually lived nearby.

If the thieves rushed down the village and killed them, who would stop them?

Last year, most of the strong men in the village were killed. There are not many strong adult men in the village now, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Moreover, the villagers are ordinary people who don't practice martial arts, and they don't have much ability other than being a peasant and farming.

"Someone saw Blacksmith Li haunting the mountainside?" Ouyang Heng said with a frown.

"Yes, the last time the villagers saw him, he was on the side of the mountain." The old village chief, Bashan, nodded.

Ouyang Heng slapped his palm on the table and said, "It's not a fluke. Let's treat Li Blacksmith as a secret spy. He went to Houshan to tip off the news."

"Old village chief, don't hesitate anymore, call all the people in the village, and we will evacuate."

"Your Excellency is right, we will evacuate now." The old village chief, Bashan, stood up.

In this world, the villages that can survive are almost all smart people.

The old village head Bashan is a smart man, otherwise, he would not be elected as the village head by everyone.

Just like last year's crisis of destroying the village, he sent his youngest son, along with a willing man from the village, to attract the attention of the thieves...

Although his youngest son and many men were killed by thieves in the end, he also managed to save the village from the disaster.

This time was no exception. He immediately made a decision without any hesitation. This kind of execution ability is indeed very rare.

The old village chief, Ba Shan, went out immediately.

Ouyang Heng didn't care about that, he came to the location at the entrance of the village alone.

Looking into the distance.

Not long after, a black spot in the air quickly approached and landed in front of him.

This is a small falcon with a whistle tied to its legs.

"It's finally here."

Ouyang Heng felt more at ease.

If he was alone, he wouldn't be able to face those "thieves" anyway.

I don't know who is coming.

After waiting for a while, he saw Jane August rushing from inside.

"Brother Ouyang, it's not good, someone seems to want to come down from the mountain!"

Jane August was a little panicked.

"Don't panic, are those people ready to come down, or are they already down?"

Ouyang Heng asked.

"I haven't come down yet, but someone is already at the foot of the mountain and saw the silhouette of the mountainside, many people."

Jane August took a few breaths, and he ran all the way, running out of breath.

"You haven't come down yet, you ask the old village chief to take people to hide. If you don't have time to hide, come to the entrance of the village." Without further ado, Ouyang Heng said bluntly without any extra words.

"Okay, I'll go here." Jane August ran back again.

Ouyang Heng looked forward, and he became a little anxious.

Now, all we need to do is speed. It depends on whether the people from Sixiang City can arrive in time.

If you come a step late, you may face a tragedy.

However, before Ouyang Heng waited too long, he saw a fast horse rushing towards him in the distance.

The rumbling of hooves shook the ground.

Ouyang Heng looked up.

It turned out that Luo Fengtang came here in person. Besides, Mi Qi was also in the team, a small cavalry team consisting of nearly 50 people.

Luo Fengtang drove the war horse and came to Ouyang Heng. Only then did he restrain the rope and dismount.

"Aren't we late?" Luo Fengtang asked immediately.

"No, you see, the old village chief has already brought people to the entrance of the village. Those thieves on the mountain should have just arrived at the end of the village." Ouyang Heng said.

"That's good, let them come and see how capable they are."

Luo Fengtang snorted coldly.

The cavalry behind them have all dismounted, and they are standing at the intersection leading their horses.

The road conditions in the village are not good, but riding a horse is a burden. It is better to get off the horse and fight directly.

At this time, the old village chief Bashan has arrived at the intersection with a group of villagers.

The villagers looked very embarrassed. They didn't have time to prepare. When they left, they were in a hurry.

"Don't panic everyone, it's the imperial soldiers and horses who are here."

Ouyang Heng said loudly.

However, something unexpected happened to him.

As soon as they heard that they were soldiers and horses of the imperial court, the villagers' expressions suddenly changed, and they all shivered, and some even burst into tears.

"Sir, don't worry, these villagers have been frightened before." The old village chief, Ba Shan, immediately came over to smooth things out.

"General Luo is here, not other imperial troops." Ouyang Heng said in a low voice.

He could only use the name of General Luo to try it out.

"Ah, it's General Luo, sir, you should have said it earlier."

The old village chief Bashan's eyes widened.

He immediately turned around and shouted to the crowd: "Fathers and folks, don't panic, it is General Luo who is here, our savior!"

"What, General Luo?"

"Oh, this is a living Bodhisattva."

"Yeah, we have to kowtow to thank him."

"Let's go, let's kowtow together."

A group of people, shouting and drinking, all knelt down towards Luo Fengtang, and even the old village chief Ba Shan wanted to stop them, but he couldn't stop them.

In desperation, they can only let them.

Ouyang Heng was shocked for the second time.

For the first time, he was shocked that the court soldiers and horses were not much different from bandits in the eyes of ordinary people.

And this second time, he was shocked that General Luo's status in the eyes of ordinary people had reached such a terrifying level.

There are pros and cons to this.

In terms of profit, because of Luo Fengtang's high prestige, many things can be done smoothly.

However, on the top of the drawbacks, it is also relatively terrifying.

A general who leads troops to fight with such a high prestige, if this is not suspected by the emperor, it will be really strange.

If the emperor was suspicious of General Luo... it would be scary to think about him.

However, this is not something he has to consider.

"Ouyang, go and appease the villagers with the old village chief."

"Miki, take the others and follow me around the villagers to the back mountain."

Luo Fengtang began to assign tasks quickly. He has no time to delay here now, and everything here is left to Ouyang Heng and the old village chief.

Luo Fengtang took the people and quickly came to the position behind the village.

He took out a telescopic mirror.

"They're almost there."

Through the binoculars, Luo Fengtang could see clearly that there were more than 30 warriors on the mountain, all of them covered their faces, jumping quickly and approaching the mountain.
