Chapter 80: People from Qianshan Village are coming

“Li Zheng, we will do whatever you say.” Someone said with admiration.

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by all.

The reason why so many people in Qianshan Village survived was because of their integrity.

Most of the people in the villages next to them had died long ago, but their village had the most people alive.

Wang Li’s authority in the hearts of the people in Qianshan Village was more prestigious than Yang Li’s in Xinghua Village.

“If you can trust me, I’ll give it a try. All subsequent actions will be under my command.”

“Two people from each household must be young and strong. The ones who stay behind will guard the luggage and prevent others from getting caught. Other refugees robbed their belongings.”

“I don’t want everything in our house to be robbed when we come back.”

Wang Li was looking at the butcher in the village. “Butcher, you stay here and guard everything.”

“Li Zheng is at ease.” Butcher Wang patted his chest and assured.

“Other people who go up the mountain should bring all their belongings and water containers with them.”

As they were being dispatched, a group of people appeared on the official road behind them. There were probably more than a hundred people in the team.

Wang Lizheng directly shouted to stop, “Let’s go up again after they leave.”

The people in Qianshan Village were waiting eagerly, hoping that the group would leave quickly. As they got closer and closer, Wang Lizheng soon discovered something was wrong.

When they were about to speak, they were surrounded by people on the opposite side.

Both sides drew their weapons and faced each other.

Wang Lizheng cursed in his heart, but put on a warm smile on his face, “Everyone, what do you mean by this? But have I offended you in some way?”

A gentle young man in his early twenties came out of the group. He wore his hair in a bun unique to Yong Dynasty scholars, had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and held a folding fan.

He looked at Wang Lizheng with a smile, “I can’t say I’m offended. I want to ask your Excellency something.”

“What’s wrong?” Wang Lizheng felt a knot in his stomach.

“I heard you’ve found a water source. Can you tell me where it is?” Mr. Siwen asked with a smile, but his tone brooked no argument.

“Your Excellency, you’ve heard wrong. We haven’t found any water source.”

Wang Lizheng smiled, calmly looking at the group of people in front of him.

There were over a hundred people, more than half of them young, their spirits brighter than theirs.

There were many of them, but Wang Lizheng knew defeating them wouldn’t be easy.

The gentle scholar in front of him was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

The smile on Mr. Si’s face faded. “It seems Your Excellency is unwilling to help. I’ll have to offend you then.”

As he finished speaking, the men standing behind him drew their swords one after another.

Sharp blades flashed dazzlingly in the sun.

These long knives were clearly extraordinary, better than those found in ordinary blacksmith shops.

Wang Li felt bitter. The gentle scholar in front of him was not easy to deal with, and the group behind him were even more formidable.

“Everyone, we’re all refugees. Fighting here will only make things easier for others.” Wang Lizheng reminded.

On the official road, there were not only refugee groups like theirs, organized into villages, but also many smaller groups, almost like gangs.

“They won’t dare.” Mr. Siwen’s voice was calm, his conviction strangely persuasive.

As he spoke, the sight of hundreds of people armed and facing each other caused others on the road to avoid them. Many people walked around, not daring to approach at all.

Wang Lizheng’s face was grim. He finally gave in.

If there’s a chance to crush the opponent, he won’t compromise, but with his overall strength, his chances of winning are too slim.

He didn’t want his people to suffer too many casualties here.

“I can tell you, but we want a share of the water there. As you can see, we are severely lacking water. If we don’t drink water, we will only die. If you don’t agree, it will be a dead end.”

Mr. Si Wensheng frowned slightly. He picked up a piece of paper and said, “Okay.”

The two groups each left a team to guard their own luggage, and at the same time, they also restrained each other.

The people from Qianshan Village sent fifty people, and the scholar’s team sent thirty people. A total of eighty people entered the forest in a mighty manner.

The eighty-strong team either had water bags hanging on their bodies or carried wooden buckets.

They found the villagers who had gone up the mountain before. At this time, there was only one person staying in place, and Wang Laitou was nowhere to be seen.

When the big girl saw the people from Qianshan Village coming in large numbers, her heart felt cold.

Her eyes touched Si Wensheng’s group, and she felt even more desperate.

It’s over, their Xinghua Village is over.

“Where is Wang Setou?” Wang Lizheng asked.

The villagers who stayed behind withdrew their curious eyes and quickly replied:

“Brother Seto, when he saw the people from Xinghua Village coming down from the mountain, and saw them returning to the mountain with hammers and those guys, he followed him.”

“How long have you been there?”

“Don’t wait for a cup of tea.”

Wang Lizheng’s eyes flickered and he looked up at Mr. Si, “Actually, the people who found the water source were not from our village, but from another group of people.

Not far away, the other part is at the water source on the mountain.”

“We don’t know the exact location of the water source, but I have an idea.

We can control the people who stay at the bottom of the mountain and force them to give up the water source.”

In this way, we can get the water source without any effort, and we can also get an unexpected harvest.”

Wang Lizheng’s suggestion made the people who were tricked by Xinghua Village very happy. Then they can take revenge. You can also take their things as your own.

The gentle scholar looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a half-smile, “Put away your petty thoughts. We are only interested in water.”

Wang Lizheng smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, Wang Laitou hurried down the mountain, his forehead covered with sweat.

Seeing the huge group of people, he was stunned for a moment, and then happily ran to Wang Lizheng.

He didn’t know who the extra group of people were, so he cautiously walked up to Ushimasa and whispered in his ear, “I know where the water source is.”

I have to say that Futose was a smart helper.

If it weren’t for this group of people, they would not only get a windfall of money, but also get water.

As for now, I can only choose one.

Si Wensheng looked at Wang Laitou and said, “Lead the way.”

Wang Laitou turned to look at Li Zheng. Wang Lizheng knew that he could not hide anything from him, so he nodded at him.

Wang Laitou walked in front, went around from the other side, and quietly approached the water source.

Su Yin heard movement behind him, turned his head, and saw a large group of people appearing below. At least there were seventy or eighty people.

Her expression changed greatly, “Third Grandma, people from Qianshan Village are here.”
