Chapter 136: 3 Villages
Chapter 136: 3 Villages
After hearing what Chen Dongsheng said, Ma Chengyou and Zhao Yufeng looked at each other, and then Ma Chengyou made the final decision:
"Well, Dongsheng is right. You are a rare helper on this trip to the wilderness."
After finishing speaking, Ma Chengyou said to Zhao Yufeng:
"Old Zhao, you stay here to protect the village. I'll go to the wilderness this time."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yufeng's reaction was quite strong. He stood up immediately, waved his hand and said:
"No, I'll go this time. You stay and protect the village."
Then the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little weird.
Neither of them would give in to the other. The two old men were arguing like children, their faces turning red and their necks thick.
Each of them wanted to go to the wilderness by themselves and didn't want the other to go, but the quarrels were fruitless.
As they were arguing, Ma Chengyou seemed to have thought of something and his eyes suddenly turned, and a look of confidence appeared on his anxious face.
He said calmly:
"Old Zhao, don't argue for now. Do you still remember what the Inspectorate said in its reply?"
"Gah!"
After being reminded, Zhao Yufeng, who had been chattering, suddenly stopped talking.
At this moment, he recalled the reply from the Inspection Department in his mind.
I don’t know how powerful it is!
He looked at Ma Chengyou doubtfully and said:
"Is there anything wrong with what you said? The Inspection Department didn't arrange for any of us to go to the wilderness."
At this time, Ma Chengyou, who felt that he had won the game, was as steady as an old dog. He walked to the stone bench calmly and sat down.
After sitting on the stone bench, he looked at Zhao Yufeng calmly and said slowly:
"Yes, the higher-ups didn't specify who should go to the wilderness, but Lao Zhao..."
At this point the tone of the voice slowly lengthened.
Zhao Yufeng's face looked more and more anxious, and there was a hint of panic in his anxiety.
"Hey, Lao Ma, but tell me what it is, don't keep me in suspense..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Ma Chengyou did not listen to what Zhao Yufeng said, but spoke again on his own:
"But Lao Zhao, don't forget one thing."
"Don't forget what? If you don't tell me, don't force me to use the sword..."
Zhao Yufeng was obviously an impatient person and couldn't stand Ma Chengyou pretending to be profound.
"You, you..."
Ma Chengyou stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Yufeng in the air, as if he couldn't do anything to Zhao Yufeng:
"So many years have passed, but your temper hasn't changed at all. You're still as impatient as before."
"boom!"
Zhao Yufeng slammed the sword in his hand onto the stone table in front of him, then pointed at Ma Chengyou and said to him angrily:
"Old Ma, if you don't say anything and keep keeping me in suspense, do you believe that I will really draw my sword?"
Chen Dongsheng on the side seemed to be accustomed to it. He raised his head and looked outside the pavilion, looking completely indifferent.
Lu Feipeng, on the other hand, was watching with some interest, but in order to show his respect to the two adults, he kept a very serious expression.
Seeing that Zhao Yufeng seemed really angry, Ma Chengyou quickly pressed his hands down in the air, looking at Zhao Yufeng with a helpless expression, and said:
"Okay, okay, Lao Zhao, don't worry, I'll tell you right away."
Seeing that Zhao Yufeng was getting angry, Ma Chengyou stopped keeping the secret and spoke directly:
"Old Zhao, don't forget that the letter from the Inspection Office said that after the three villages gather together, they will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of our Sanjia Village."
Seeing that Ma Chengyou stopped keeping the secret and started talking about business, Zhao Yufeng's anxious expression finally eased.
He was listening carefully to what Ma Chengyou said. After listening, Zhao Yufeng did not think there was anything wrong, so he asked:
"Yes, that's right. Does this conflict with whether you or I go to the wilderness?"
Ma Chengyou refuted on the spot:
"There are conflicts, of course there are conflicts, how come there are no conflicts?"
Zhao Yufeng's voice became louder again:
"You fart, there's a fart conflict!"
It was obvious that Zhao Yufeng was getting angry again.
"You're getting anxious again. Just listen to what I have to say."
Ma Chengyou looked like he had no idea what to do with Zhao Yufeng.
He is also very helpless...
"you say……"
After that, Ma Chengyou had no choice but to speak again:
"When the four villages unite for an operation, should one of you or I be in charge of the command?"
Zhao Yufeng nodded in agreement.
"Then do you think that with your reckless personality, can you keep a clear mind when encountering an accident? Can you bring the team back safely?"
Hearing Ma Chengyou say this about himself, Zhao Yufeng didn't even think twice and immediately retorted:
"Why can't I be at peace..."
However, he hadn't finished speaking yet. Perhaps because Ma Chengyou hit the nail on the head or because he lacked confidence, his voice became weaker and weaker until it was barely as loud as a mosquito.
"See, what I said was right, right? I'll go on this mission, and you stay in the village, hahahaha..."
After saying this, Ma Chengyou burst into laughter.
"Humph!"
As if getting angry at what Ma Chengyou said, Zhao Yufeng snorted coldly and then said:
"If I can't lead the team, I can ask someone else to lead it."
At this point, Zhao Yufeng seemed to have thought of something, pointed at Chen Dongsheng beside him and continued:
"You can let Dongsheng lead. That's right, you can let Dongsheng lead.
Now Dongsheng's cultivation has also broken through to the ninth level of the Soul Induction Realm, so it's no problem for him to be at the same level as us."
Chen Dongsheng: …
Chen Dongsheng, who was being pointed at by Zhao Yufeng, was standing aside, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
But suddenly, Zhao Yufeng hit him like this, and his body staggered unconsciously.
He waved his hand quickly and said:
“No, no, although I have now broken through to the ninth level of the Soul Induction Realm, I am still inexperienced and have no ability to lead a team of four villages.”
Ma Chengyou looked at Zhao Yufeng with a smile and said:
"Look, look, Lao Zhao, you are just fooling around. You can obey Dongsheng's orders, but can the people in the other three villages also obey Dongsheng's orders?"
"I……"
Zhao Yufeng also realized that he had spoken without thinking in a hurry, so he could only sigh and say:
"Okay, I'll stay and guard the village."
Ma Chengyou stroked his beard, obviously very satisfied with the result, but then he said seriously:
"Well, then let's pick the second person to stay."
After saying this, he looked at Lu Feipeng and said:
"Captain Lu, we'll need you to lead the way for us this time, so you'll have to go to the wilderness again."
Lu Feipeng was very clear about this point in the team, so he was not surprised after Ma Chengyou said this.
So he nodded and said:
"it is good."
So Ma Chengyou looked at Chen Dongsheng again and said thoughtfully:
“In my opinion, we should let Wang Qingping stay and let Wang Yushi go to the wilderness.
If anything happens in the village, Wang Qingping is much more experienced in handling it than Wang Yushi.
After all, Wang Yushi is young, and he has only served in the patrol team over the years, so he has no experience in handling village affairs. "
Chen Dongsheng also agreed with this, so he nodded and said:
"That's great. Let Wang Qingping stay in the village with Lord Zhao."
Seeing that the matter was still finalized, Chen Dongsheng interrupted at the right time:
"Master Ma, Master Zhao, please leave this to us two. You two should go back to the village first.
Otherwise, when the people from the next three villages arrive and don’t see any of us, they might think we are deliberately making things difficult for them.”
"Yeah, that's right, Dongsheng is right, Lao Zhao, let's go."
"it is good."
After watching the two figures disappear from sight, Chen Dongsheng looked at Lu Feipeng and said to him:
"Fei Peng, let's go on patrol first, each responsible for one side."
Lu Feipeng nodded and agreed:
"it is good."
……
At 2:00 pm, Zhao Yufeng came to look for the two men.
"Dongsheng, Captain Lu, the people from Xiaowangzhuang are here. Captain Lu will be allowed to patrol this place for the time being. Dongsheng, come with me first."
As soon as Zhao Yufeng arrived, he hurriedly told the two people the purpose of his visit.
"Okay, Fei Peng, I'll leave this to you."
Lu Feipeng nodded and said:
"it is good."
Xiaowangzhuang, Donghai Village, and Changshun Village.
Lu Feipeng had just learned from Chen Dongsheng that these three villages were the villages adjacent to Sanjia Village.
These are also the other three villages involved in this four-village joint operation.
"Chirp..."
At this moment, an extremely harsh sound rang out from the distant air.
Lu Feipeng, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the pavilion, immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw an extremely eye-catching flame rising into the sky.
"boom…"
The next moment, the flame exploded from mid-air.
"Shh..."
After seeing the direction from which the flare came, Lu Feipeng's figure disappeared the next moment.
Now he is the only one guarding the outpost outside the village, so he doesn't have to avoid others.
He went at full speed, and with his cultivation level of the eighth level of the Spirit Induction Realm, he arrived at the scene of the incident in a short while.
"What happened?"
As soon as we arrived at the location where the distress signal was sent, the figures of two team members came into view.
Seeing that both team members were safe and sound, Lu Feipeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stopped three feet away from the two of them, took out a magic-detecting talisman from his bosom and stuck it on his body.
It is said that it was stuck on the arms, but actually, it is not true. It should be said that it was taken out from the storage bag.
Because the storage bag was not convenient to show to others openly at the moment, he kept it close to his chest.
When he saw the two team members who sent out the distress signal, he found that one of them was familiar to Lu Feipeng.
Because one of the team members was Wang Hao, who joined the patrol team with him.
Wang Hao's partner was about to tell Lu Feipeng the whole story, but was stopped by Wang Hao.
He shook his head at his partner, indicating that he should speak first.
His partner looked at Wang Hao with confusion.
However, he seemed to remember that Wang Hao had said before that he joined the patrol team together with Captain Lu Feipeng. Then he showed a look of sudden realization, and then seemingly unconsciously took two steps back.
"Captain Lu, I'm Wang Hao."
Lu Feipeng nodded and replied:
"Yeah, I know what happened, Wang Hao."
Then Wang Hao pointed to the rice fields behind him and said:
"Captain Lu, two demon rats just ran into the rice field."
