Wu Ming and Kang Shouli were the real deal when it came to pretending to be from an aristocratic family.
Even Huang Ying and Xiao Yu were used to such situations. Even though Old Man Wang Qiao was shrewd, he was still frightened. He first tidied up a courtyard and invited the five of them to stay. Then, he sent people to inquire about the news of the Hu cavalry.
"Hehe … Sister Huang Ying is so powerful. The people behind that old man just now couldn't take their eyes off him!"
The few of them returned to the courtyard and closed the door. Xiao Yu giggled and said to Huang Ying.
"There are people spying on us from outside the courtyard! Elder Wang Qiao is still worried about us! "
Qin Hu walked to the window and took a look, but he said in a low voice.
"Of course … But we brought news of the Hu cavalry. No matter what, they would rather believe it than not!"
Wu Ming looked around and looked at the four of them. "Now, do you believe that this is the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"To be honest … I still find it hard to believe. But the layout of the manor, the clothes of the people, the furniture, all seem to be similar to Dazhou. It has an ancient feel to it …"
Huang Ying laughed bitterly.
"Indeed … one person can deceive us, but ten, a hundred people, all of them are the same …"
Xiao Yu also had a bitter expression.
"Since we have confirmed that the people and scenery are not like Dazhou, then we can be sure that we are in another world … The Hu cavalry will definitely come!"
Wu Ming said. "If we want to keep our lives, we must make use of the situation! Miss Huang Ying! I will have to trouble you with this! Especially the training of the villagers and what experts there are. It is best if you know everything! "
"I understand!"
Huang Ying agreed without hesitation.
She knew that she was weak and did not have a mysterious background like Xiao Yu. If there was a need to sacrifice herself, she would not hesitate and immediately wanted to show her worth.
To these villagers who lived in the countryside every day, even an old sow could act like a diaochan, Huang Ying was like a fairy from the heavens. As long as she used a little trick, a group of villagers would probably not be able to find their bearings.
"This big brother … I …"
Seeing Oriole stroke her hair and walk out to greet them in a sweet voice, the soldier who was tailing them immediately 'betrayed' them. He was extremely attentive and answered every question. Other than Kang Shouli, the other three all smiled.
Night fell.
After having a meal with Village Leader Wang who seemed to be in a bad mood, Wu Ming gathered the five people together again.
"How was Miss Oriole's harvest?"
"A small gain!"
Huang Ying said gently, "As far as I know, the Great Green Village has the surname Wang as their main family. Their relatives are all over the place, and most of them are from the same clan. There are more than a thousand of them, but the world is not peaceful. They usually train more than a hundred village warriors, and among them, the one with the best martial arts is Wang Yin, the son of Wang Qiao. I heard that he has already reached the Fifth Tier of the Physical Body Realm, and is a master of vital energy!"
"After receiving our report, the Great Green Manor has already begun to secretly take precautions and reorganize the encirclement, but I'm really not optimistic …"
"In fact … I've even heard of a saying that we are the scourge of the Hu Tribe, that we have brought the Hu Tribe's cavalry with us. If the Hu Tribe's army really comes to our borders, they might just tie us up and send us out, and we might just be able to escape!"
"Bam!"
Kang Shouli slammed his palm on the wooden table and said hatefully, "No wonder they still sent people to keep an eye on us. So that's why!"
"In this chaotic world, there are suddenly a few unknown people like us. Anyone would have to be careful …"
Wu Ming was already mentally prepared for this.
With how xenophobic the village was, it was already strange that they were willing to let them stay for the night.
Perhaps, the reason why Wang Qiao let them stay was because he really thought that they were important figures wanted by the Hu Tribe's cavalry. It was not surprising that he was even prepared to sell them for a good price.
"When the first wave of Hu Tribe's cavalry arrives, they will naturally know how powerful they are!"
Qin Hu interrupted.
"Before that, we should be more careful!"
Wu Ming concluded, and his expression turned serious. "I still have a few questions. Do you still remember what happened before you fainted?"
"Brother Nameless, are you talking about how you were pulled in? I don't know … "
Xiao Yu blinked innocently. "That day … I was studying at home. Suddenly, everything went black, and I was here!"
"Me too …" Huang Ying's expression turned serious. "At that time, I was only playing the zither in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. There was nothing strange around me!"
"But I was preparing to kill someone!"
Qin Hu smiled savagely, causing Kang Shouli to shrink his neck. "I … I was in the restaurant, reciting poems with a few friends, admiring the wind and talking about the moon …"
"But I was at my doorstep, and trouble fell from the sky for no reason!"
As Wu Ming spoke, he thought of the jade pendant in his bosom.
These people had all transmigrated randomly, and none of them had mentioned anything about the jade pendant.
When he thought of the scene where the Dharmic treasures and Taoist techniques were excluded, Wu Ming's heart turned heavy.
"I'm afraid there are some problems here … Where did Lin Qi get the jade pendant, and why is it connected to the main divine hall? And … his identity as a transmigrator … "
Wu Ming's expression was solemn, but the others thought that he was worried about the future.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
Suddenly, the urgent sound of a gong rang out. It was so ear-piercing in the dark night. The voices of people slowly rose, and occasionally there were panicked cries. This made Wu Ming and the others' hearts sink.
It seemed that the main divine hall would not even give them a day of peace.
"The elderly, women, and children, stay at home. Village warriors, go to the armory!"
In the dark night, countless torches seemed to form a long fire dragon, and loud shouts could be heard from time to time.
As soon as Wu Ming and the others came out, they were surrounded by a group of village warriors. The leader was Wang Qiao, and beside him was an imposing man with skin like iron.
"Village Chief, the barbarians are indeed not here for us. We will know once we go and take a look. If! We are willing to surrender and let them deal with us! "
Wu Ming said resolutely, "The barbarians are ruthless and will not let the Great Green Manor off. Brother Kang and I have some connections in the area. If we ask for reinforcements …"
His words were soft but hard, and Wang Qiao's expression changed.
He stroked his sparse beard and suddenly waved his hand. He smiled. "Honored guest, you must be joking! We are only here to prevent any mishaps. Since things have come to this, why don't you come with me to the wall to take a look? "
The Great Green Manor was surrounded by a circle of earth, like a small city. At this time, torches had already been lit.
When Wu Ming and the others and Wang Qiao climbed up to a building, they could hear the faint sound of hooves outside. They did not know how many people had arrived.
"Based on my experience, there will not be more than ten cavalrymen outside!"
Qin Hu's ears twitched, and he suddenly said, "The barbarians form a team of ten people, and appoint a decurion captain. A hundred people appoint a centurion captain, a thousand people appoint a chiliarch, and a decurion captain will have ten thousand cavalrymen. Typically, the decurion captain is a turu warrior, and the centurion captain's team will have a shaman …"
Wu Ming and the others looked at each other, and their hearts sank.
Since there was a shaman in the mission, it was obvious that the invaders were a hundred people, and the ones outside were just the vanguard.
Although the Great Green Manor also had a hundred villagers, it was a completely different concept compared to a hundred grassland cavalrymen.
"Village chief …"
A shrill scream was heard, and soon after, a villager covered in blood ran to the bottom of the wall and was hung up in a basket.
"How is it?" Wang Qiao's face darkened when he saw that the man's ears and nose had been cut off.
At the same time, Wang Yin strode forward, and his stalwart body stood in front of Wu Ming and the others.
"They're not here to chase after someone … but they want us to offer up food, women, and enter the manor to rest before they stop …"
The villager cried and threw out the conditions of the barbarians, which made Wang Qiao's face sink.
Food and women were easy to settle, but letting the barbarians enter the manor meant that they would be at the mercy of the barbarians.
At this time, he deeply realized that the barbarians were different from ordinary bandits. They were a group of locusts that wanted to cut off the roots of the Great Green Manor!
"Everyone, I'm really sorry for my vile thoughts!"
After a while, Wang Qiao suddenly came in front of Wu Ming and the others and bowed deeply. "I hope that everyone can do your best to help save the Great Green Manor from this disaster!"
"Of course!"
Wu Ming helped the old man up with both hands. "According to the information we obtained, there should be no more than a hundred barbarians invading!"
"Mm! Although the north of Great Xia is in chaos and the barbarians have invaded, it has not affected this place. It should be a group of barbarians that slipped through the net! "
Wang Qiao's heart sank, but his expression did not change. "As long as we can hold on for a few days, the enemy will retreat before the reinforcements arrive …"
"Pass down the order! Bring out all the weapons in the armory. At this juncture of life and death, don't be stingy. Wang Yin, you're in charge of the overall situation! "
Wang Qiao had calmed down, and he was rather disciplined.
"I know!"
Wang Yin's face was cold as he began to set up the defense.
"What do you think are the chances of the Great Green Manor holding on?"
Wu Ming and the others had become idle people. They could not leave or stay. Wu Ming listened to the approaching hooves and felt his blood boil slightly. He whispered into Xiao Yu's ear.
"This … is hard to say. Warrior Ba Tu can fight at least ten people, which is equivalent to an expert at the third or fourth tier of the physical body realm. As for the shaman …"
Xiao Yu bit her lip.
"Is the witchcraft of the shaman very strong?" Although Wu Ming had some memories from his previous life, he did not have much in this area.
"It's hard to say …"
Xiao Yu pondered for a while before saying softly, "Witchcraft is the same as Taoist techniques. If given time and preparation, even an expert at the ninth tier of the physical body realm would be at a disadvantage. However, if the shaman and taoist priests were to be caught off guard, they would be no different from an ordinary person … Of course, this is the case when they are at a lower level. However, a shaman in a hundred-man team is only at this level … What I'm most afraid of now is the shaman's ability to heal injuries and boost morale …"
Whoosh!
In an instant, more than ten arrows flew over with a whooshing sound. Screams rose and fell from the earthen wall.
"Mounted archery by the barbarians!"
Just as this thought flashed through Wu Ming's mind, he saw an arrow shoot out from the darkness like a poisonous snake and hit Xiao Yu's fair and delicate neck.
Puff!
Blood spurted out and splattered onto Wu Ming's face.
A warm and fishy smell assaulted him, but Wu Ming's expression was wooden as he looked at the dead girl on the ground.
Dead!
This knowledgeable, mysterious, and scheming girl had actually died just like that. She had died right in front of Wu Ming!
"Indeed … there is no one in this world who does not die! Is this the main temple? "
Wu Ming quickly crouched down and took a deep breath. It was as if the main temple had finally unveiled its veil and revealed its sharp fangs to him!
