Chapter 26 Settled in the Village
Dongfang Ming looked at Xu Shiji sitting beside Wang Dan: "Brother Xu did a very good job! If you hadn't commanded everyone, it would be difficult for us to achieve the current success. Thank you for your efforts to the village. Please beg Dongfang for your worship."
After saying that, Dongfang Ming stood up and bowed to Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji was flattered and hurriedly stood up to help Dongfang Ming: "Master, how dare Xu accept your great gift! This is what Xu should do!"
Dongfang Ming insisted on worshiping: "Brother Xu received it!"
"Chief Master!" Xu Shiji was a little embarrassed, "If the leader hadn't rushed back in time and had the courage to capture the dog official directly, we wouldn't have been able to fight back successfully."
"Yes, yes, if the leader hadn't rushed back in time, we wouldn't be able to hold on."
"If it weren't for Mr. Xu and the leader, we wouldn't know what to do."
Dongfang Ming held Xu Shiji's hand and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, it's thanks to Brother Xu who delayed the time."
Xu Shiji smiled shyly.
Dongfang Ming let him go and looked at Wang Dan and others: "This time everyone has done well and has bad things. If they haven't done well, you know what they think."
Everyone lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to say anything, for fear that Dongfang Ming would scold them.
"I won't pursue the past, but I will not forgive you next time. The first thing now is to readjust the layout of the village. If Li Xuansui and others can do things twice to target us, there will be a third time!"
Dongfang Ming's expression was very serious, and he also became serious with the group of people below.
Dongfang Ming arranged what everyone should do next and what to pay attention to. After the arrangement, they asked them to do it as soon as possible. After all, Li Mi was not threatened by life. With his ability, he might make a comeback soon. Now the first thing is to settle the wounded and strengthen the defense of the village.
After a group of people left, Xu Shiji stayed and looked at Dongfang Ming and wanted to speak but stopped.
Dongfang Ming looked at him: "Brother Xu, do you have anything else to tell me alone?"
Xu Shiji glanced at Wang Dan and Cui Ning who were standing beside Dongfang Ming, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother should be him..."
Since the leader came back, he only saw Elder Cui, but not Wang Bodang, and Xu Shiji was inevitably worried.
Dongfang Ming suddenly realized, and he clapped his hands: "Hey, I forgot to tell you for a while. I'm sorry that he's going to escort a noble man."
"Negotiable?" Xu Shiji was suspicious, and he looked at Cui Ning again.
Cui Ning nodded: "Yes, that noble man also paid a hundred taels of gold protection fee."
Xu Shiji nodded: "When will I return to the village?"
"Just these days." Dongfang Ming took a sip of tea, "I have to work hard for you to manage the village next."
"This is what Xu did."
Several people were talking in the hall, and one of the subordinates came in and said, "Master, someone came to visit outside the village gate, saying that it was introduced by Master Dongfang."
Dongfang Ming's eyes lit up and he asked, "But the father and daughter?"
The man scratched his head: "Yes."
Dongfang Ming was overjoyed: "Let them in quickly!"
Wang Dan was a little surprised by Dongfang Ming's reaction and asked, "Is it an acquaintance of the leader?"
Dongfang Ming nodded: "I met it down the mountain."
"Who made the leader happy?" Xu Shiji was puzzled.
Dongfang Ming laughed: "A blacksmith!"
Before Xu Shiji could continue speaking, Dongfang Ming continued: "There is no shortage of people who can farm and raise the ground in the village, but the lack of people who can make weapons and armor for everyone."
If he had to exchange the weapons in the village with Tang Dian, he would never be able to become stronger and he had to find technical talents by himself.
Only by filling the science and technology trees and agricultural trees can we manage the Sun and Moon Church well for a long time. After all, under the wheels of troubled times, metal currency is not so important, and survival data is even more important.
The key is to make everyone live longer and live better.
Xu Shiji was shocked when he heard Dongfang Ming's words.
Yes, only those who farm but do not have talents who manufacture weapons and some essential daily necessities, their village will still be threatened.
What's more, the world is gradually becoming more and more chaotic. Some people may hoard food and property, and who dares to hoard weapons except the imperial army?
"The leader is ashamed of Xu," Xu Shiji convinced and bowed to Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming smiled: "I'm just picking up people's wisdom."
He stood up and said, "Let's go and meet Lao Liu with me."
Xu Shiji nodded, and Cui Ning and Wang Dan followed closely.
Outside the village gate.
Old Liu and Que'er stood outside the gate, looking at the big man guarding the gate nervously.
The man guarding the gate was burly and serious, which made Queer feel scared.
"Dad." Que'er pulled Lao Liu's sleeve timidly.
Old Liu patted her hands and comforted her: "Don't be afraid."
Someone had already entered to report. While waiting, Lao Liu carefully looked at the village gate of the Sun and Moon Sect. The village gate was tall and there were traces of previous fights on the village gate. Now some church members come and go to repair and clean the village gate.
Originally they could have arrived at the Utou Mountain early, but when they met the brigade of officers and soldiers on the way, the father and daughter hid for a while and waited for the officers and soldiers to leave before coming out.
As of now, when they came outside the village gate, the church members here were all very good at treating them, and they did not drive them away or scold them.
"Master!" The man guarding the village was standing outside the gate and suddenly shouted excitedly.
Lao Liu's attention was immediately attracted to the village gate.
Through the village gate, three men and one woman walked towards this side. Old Liu narrowed his eyes and felt that the man in Confucian clothes was familiar to him.
"Dad, it's Young Master Dongfang!" Que'er's eyes were sharp and he recognized Dongfang Ming. When she saw Cui Ning, she stopped her voice and her eyes widened.
"Brother Liu! But you are waiting for you." Dongfang Ming walked quickly towards Lao Liu and the others.
"Young Master Dongfang, are you from the Sun and Moon Sect here?" Old Liu looked at Dongfang Ming with bright eyes.
Dongfang Ming's mouth froze, and he almost forgot that he had not told Lao Liu and his daughter that he was from the Riyue Sect. At that time, he thought not to scare them, so he told them that he had passed by here.
Now, the vest is off.
However, Dongfang Ming was not afraid of his vest falling off. He had some ways to keep Lao Liu and the others.
Dongfang Ming smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiaosheng went out for a trip."
Lao Liu now understood that Dongfang Ming said those words just to let them come to the Sun and Moon Sect, which could be regarded as answering his doubts on the way he came.
"Is Cui Engong a woman?" At this time, Yue'er suddenly made a sound. Her voice trembled with a hint of unbearable sadness.
Cui Ning looked at Que'er and saw that the latter looked very shocked. Cui Ning was a little confused: "It's easier for a man to pretend to be aside."
Que'er pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped talking, and pinched off the little bit of beauty that had just sprouted in her heart.
When she looked up at Cui Ning, she smiled and said, "No wonder, I said how could there be such a handsome man?"
After being praised, Cui Ning laughed embarrassedly.
Dongfang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. This Queer is a hero who saves the beauty. He secretly acknowledged that Cui Ning and he found that Cui Ning were the same gender as him?
"Master, it's not convenient to speak outside the village gate. Let's wait and talk." Xu Shiji glanced at the church members who were constantly looking at this side, and couldn't help but speak to remind Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming nodded: "Let's go in with me. It's just right for you to see our village."
