"That was all thanks to Miss and Aunt Zhang." Although Bai Yulan was stupid to learn things, she was willing to suffer, and Aunt Zhang was willing to teach her.
Therefore, compared to the past, she had better standards and improvement, so that she wouldn't be despised and mocked by others like an elm.
However, Cheng Guanyue finished her test and brought Cheng Weiwu and the others back to the Cheng Village.
She had a nagging feeling that the Liao elite soldiers was about to take action, and that the other party was here to save Fu Ruyue.
"You … What are you doing here again? " Fu Ruyue was currently wearing coarse hemp clothes, and was eating steamed buns and porridge like the villagers.
However, the moment she saw Cheng Guanyue, she became especially flustered and resentful.
Cheng Guanyue didn't even look at her. She only looked around the woodshed she lived in, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Boss, one of our patrolling brothers said that some outsiders have infiltrated our village?" Cheng Weiwu told Cheng Guanyue about his findings.
"Outsiders?" Cheng Guan Yue muttered and released her Spirit Power to every corner of Cheng Village.
There really is a situation, it's just that the ones who snuck into the Cheng Village were not Liao People, but the local thugs in the neighboring village.
"Quick, let's go to the big well at the east side of the village. Someone wants to drug us?" Cheng Guanyue urged Cheng Weiwu as he walked.
"What, drugged?" Hearing that, Cheng Weiwu quickly followed Cheng Guanyue, and as he ran, he yelled, "This is bad … "Oh no, come with us, someone is going to put medicine in the big well at the east side of the village."
When the villagers heard this, what else could they do?
In a split-second, wave after wave of villagers followed behind them.
In fact, everyone held a weapon, either a hoe or a sickle. Those with strength or courage took out an axe.
He wanted to bring those bad guys who drugged to justice.
"Halt, who are you? What are you doing in our village? " Cheng Weiwu brought his few friends to quickly chase after them. Then, he quickly surrounded those thugs at an extremely fast speed.
But before the thugs could get the poison into the well, they saw a lot of torches and villagers gathered together.
Suddenly, some of them were unable to think straight. When they were about to run, a few half-grown boys came forward to block them. They were even holding onto long spears and sabers. It was obvious that they were practicing martial arts!
How could they still dare to fight head on? They could only obediently stand on the spot and look at them in a daze.
"No, we are just passing by. We are all from the neighboring village. If you don't believe us, you can ask the village chief next door." The thugs tried to find an excuse, but their eyes were dishonest as they stared at the well behind Cheng Guanyue.
"Bullshit, the few of you are here to do something bad. Don't think that we don't know." Cheng Weiwu rebutted them, and then, someone grabbed their arms, and started to search their entire bodies.
In the end, Cheng Weiwu found two bags of suspicious items from them in less than half a minute.
Instantly, those local thugs' expressions changed, and they denied it: "These things don't belong to us, you guys are the ones who planted them for us."
"Pui!" "Even now, you guys still dare to act so shamelessly. It seems like you guys are just as stubborn as a duck. I'll have to punch you guys." After Cheng Weiwu finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Thus, those villagers who had been riled up by the villagers, without waiting for those half-grown youngsters to act, ruthlessly smashed them with their hoes and sickles.
"You heartless things, you actually want to poison this well and kill everyone in our village. Let's see if we won't beat you to death …"
"Right, I'll beat you to death..."
"I'll beat you to death..."
The villagers were beating them, shouting out the slogan "Beat them to death" together, scaring those local thugs into screaming out loud. Not only were they unable to dodge, they also had nowhere to run.
He could only hold his head and squat on the ground, intending to squeeze through the villagers' groins with all his might.
Outside the circle of villagers, the children's army and a few half-grown men were standing.
They couldn't escape even if they had wings.
Even a four or five-year-old child could not help but trample on their faces and ruthlessly beat them with a burning poker.
How many people could endure this sort of extreme pain?
Therefore, they all shouted out in unison, "I … We were wrong, we were wrong, please have mercy on us! "
"Fine, it's fine if you want us to let you go, but all of you have to speak the truth." Cheng Guanyue stopped the villagers who were still fighting to the death, and loudly questioned the local thugs.
"Well, we'll tell you what we'll tell you." Those thugs didn't care about anything else in order to survive.
Therefore, they did not need Cheng Guan Yue or Cheng Weiwu to ask, and only honestly replied, "We were all ordered by someone else, those people don't seem to be people of the Central Plains. It was a bit like the Liao People. They came to our village and threatened the village chief as well as the many villagers of the village, and then they just sent us to poison your Cheng Village, saying that after everything was completed, we would have a hundred gold taels to take from them. "Let us go."
"Shut up. Let me ask you, how many people did they bring? How did they come?" Cheng Weiwu heard them finish narrating the truth, then he asked a critical question that everyone wanted to ask.
"They seem to be. There are more than two hundred people here, and all of them are as strong as tigers. The few local thugs said uncertainly.
"More than two hundred people? How did they get in, do you know? " Cheng Weiwu continued to ask.
"I don't know …" We don't know, we only know how they are going to get into the border army. Once, when we were going to steal from the Village Head's house, we heard them say that they would have Vice General Wen hide them in empty boxes, pretending to be pay and transport them to the border gate. That way, they would be able to meet up with that Military Advisor and attack the soldiers stationed at the border gate. " The more those local thugs talked, the more furious the villagers became.
There were even some people who wished that they could kill them right now and go to the neighboring village to kill those ruthless Liao elite soldiers.
"Boss, then should we inform the Imperial Guard and Eunuch Cao?!" Cheng Weiwu still felt that these Liao elite soldiers s were not people that ordinary citizens like him could win against.
Therefore, he still wanted to invite the Imperial Guard and the people from the west factory to deal with them in order to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Cheng Guanyue, on the other hand, looked at the bloodstained face of those thugs and calmly said, "They have spies. Perhaps they already know about it. They are just waiting for the right moment to catch them all in one fell swoop."
