Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

Moreover, Hengyu has reached the marriageable age, and this topic has swept the entire Connor Village.

Seeing Hengxu's cute look with his eyes rolling around, Shang Muqin smiled secretly.

Seeing his daughter being teased, Evergrande used his titanium legs to kick those good brothers directly on the buttocks.

"Stop teasing me...her..."

Evergrande wanted to shout out the words "my daughter", but he felt that it was not appropriate to shout like that, so he changed his words.

"Let's go drink!"

"Wait, I..."

Hengda was pulled by them, he turned around and looked at Shang Muqin, and Shang Muqin smiled and nodded:

"Go."

Then, his good brothers put their hands on Evergrande’s shoulders and took him to their table.

Before Zhang Liang and others sat down, Shang Muqin introduced herself to everyone. Everyone welcomed her and introduced themselves.

After sitting down, Ying asked about Hengqi.

Afterwards, Zhang Liang explained it to everyone.

Everyone was relieved to learn that there was a solution, but they were all worried about the awakening of the Celestial Dragons.

However···

This worry only lasted for a moment.

Everyone believed that as long as Zhang Liang was here, nothing would happen.

Rather, it is definitely the other side that will be in trouble.

"wait for me!"

Heng Yu looked at the table full of delicious food and she couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing Heng Yu left her seat, everyone thought she was going to get more rice, but who would have thought that she directly picked up one of the rice buckets.

"Everyone, eat more!"

Afterwards, Heng Yu served everyone a bowl of rice, except for her own bowl, which she had deliberately compacted.

When everyone saw Heng Yu's behavior, they couldn't help but smile and didn't expose her.

Thinking about it, she really tried every possible way to eat more.

"Mom, try this braised spareribs. Xi Lan's cooking is delicious."

Even though Heng Yu was already extremely greedy, she still picked up a piece for Shang Muqin to try first.

After tasting it, Shang Muqin opened his eyes wide in surprise and praised Xi Lan:

"It's soft, chewy and melts in your mouth. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious braised spareribs. Your cooking skills are amazing."

"Thank you."

Seeing Xi Lan being praised, Yun Yun, who was sitting next to her, puffed out her chest proudly.

After Shang Muqin opened the show, everyone picked up their chopsticks.

They ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant.

Seeing this scene, Shang Muqin was very surprised.

Zhang Liang explained very clearly about the awakening of the Sky Dragon Clan, but they seemed to not care at all.

Shang Muqin could see that many of the people sitting at this table had set foot in the Imperial Domain, and two of them had even reached a high level.

It is impossible for them not to know how powerful the awakened Sky Dragon Clan is.

Faced with the current situation, they behaved as relaxed as they did before, with no sense of tension at all.

Thinking of this, Shang Muqin looked at Zhang Liang again.

I thought to myself: "How powerful must he be to be able to give them such a sense of security."

······

Half an hour later.

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Just then, a group of people with serious expressions walked towards Connor Village, a total of more than 200 people including adults and children.

The person leading the team was a villager sent by the village chief. He pointed at Connor Village, turned his head, and seemed to be saying something to the people behind him.

After a while, an old man with a hunched back walked out of the crowd.

After seeing the soldiers, he quickened his pace and walked towards this side.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the old man knelt down in front of the soldier with a plop and said in a crying voice:

"Dear soldiers, please give us justice."

As the old man knelt down, the people behind him also knelt down.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers holding the bowls looked at each other, their faces full of confusion and doubt.

"Hurry up, what happened?"

The deputy captain put down the bowl in his hand, hurried to the old man and helped him up.

When the deputy captain touched the old man's arm, the old man made a sound of pain, which made the deputy captain frown.

He was injured.

Not only that, his face was pale, his body was trembling slightly, and he looked weak all over.

Maybe I didn’t eat.

Noticing the commotion here, Zhang Liang and others also came here.

The deputy captain asked the old man to sit down and asked him questions carefully.

They are villagers from three nearby villages.

Last night, a group of people came to their village and stole food from their village under the pretext of collecting food.

It was bad enough that they stole the food, but they also destroyed the crops and injured people.

"They are collecting your food and destroying your crops? Who the hell is so bold!"

The deputy captain seemed particularly angry when he heard the villagers' words.

He glanced at the crowd and found that the villagers were very thin and it was obvious that they were not getting enough to eat.

They even robbed their food. The deputy captain cursed in his heart: "Beast!"

"He, they are from the Dukedom!"

Hearing the old man's words, the deputy captain and the soldiers all frowned.

The deputy captain speculated that the Duke's territory had already reached the stage of preparing supplies, and the number of people must have gathered to a certain scale.

Then, the deputy captain took out a map and asked the old man to point out the location of their village.

After seeing the marked location, the deputy captain drew a few strokes with a pen, selected a range, and said seriously with a sinking heart:

"Their village is very close to here, and the next wave of collection will come here, which is tonight."

Section 1#Volume 3: Change of Ranks: Chapter 378: A Way to Shock an Army of 100,000

"After evaluation, the size of the rebel army in the Dukedom is over 100,000 people."

After hearing the soldiers' stories, the villagers' faces turned very ugly.

Before this, the villagers of Connor Village had heard from the soldiers that the Duke was planning to rebel and lead his troops to attack the royal capital.

Connor Village happens to be the only way to go, and may even become a secondary battlefield.

Seeing the expressions of the villagers, the deputy captain of the soldiers said very seriously:

"I suggest everyone evacuate this area immediately."

The deputy captain of the soldiers glanced at the crowd, saw their bitter and uneasy expressions, and after a moment of silence, he continued:

"Judging from the current situation, the Dukedom will take action soon. If we evacuate too late..."

He didn't finish his words, but the villagers knew what he meant.

A dead end.

The villagers looked at the crops they had worked so hard on and their young and ignorant children, and immediately clenched their fists in anger.

"It's all the fault of that incompetent emperor! If he had been more obedient, we wouldn't have to..."

"Yes, Duke Longtao is such a good man. He said to kill all nine generations of the clan, so he killed all nine generations of the clan. How can he be an emperor like that?"

"The evil ones are in power... The evil ones are in power..."

The villagers were all complaining about their dissatisfaction with the emperor.

According to imperial law, low-status villagers like them who openly insulted the emperor would be subject to death.

The deputy captain of the soldiers who heard these words understood the villagers' feelings very well.

He allowed the villagers to vent their emotions without stopping them, intending to turn a blind eye.

Seeing the looks of the villagers, the deputy captain of the soldiers sighed.

The fact that Duke Longtao and his entire clan were executed was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one knew what the emperor was thinking.

It is despicable that the Duke's men robbed food and beat up the villagers, but the emperor is even more despicable.

In the war between them, the most innocent people are the villagers.

Just as the villagers were complaining about the emperor's incompetence, Bai Diechang stood up with her arms folded across her chest and said to everyone:

"The Duke of Longtao you are talking about is not a good person."

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Bai Diechang continued, "He is a demon lurking in the empire."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Bai Dieshang's words.

Just when the villagers were about to raise questions, Heng Yu echoed:

"I saw Xie Xi's memories in the maze! Back then, Xie Xi was kidnapped by Duke Long Tao and was almost eaten by him!"

Hearing Heng Yu's words, they showed expressions of disbelief again.

The villagers were not familiar with Bai Dieshang and were skeptical about what she said.

But Heng Yu was different. The villagers had watched her grow up and knew her very well.

It is impossible for her to lie, let alone make up stories to slander others.

suddenly···

The villagers responded to one word.

Kidnapping.

In an instant, their faces turned pale as they recalled the frequent incidents in the Dukedom.

The case of missing children.

After investigation and analysis, they determined that human traffickers had kidnapped the children.

Connor Village and the nearby villages are the borders of the Dukedom. As long as someone leaves the border, they will be the first to discover it.

Therefore, they often received missing person notices from the Dukedom.

In general, more than 20 children go missing in the Duchy every year.

Strangely, no suspicious individuals or organizations have ever left the country.

If this matter is connected with the devil, then it means that those children were given by Duke Longtao...

Thinking of this, the villager felt nauseous and almost vomited out the lunch he had just eaten.

Noticing that the topic had been diverted, the deputy captain of the soldiers immediately corrected the topic and shouted to the villagers:
