"What to do?" Yang Sheng asked. He wasn’t in a hurry. Mainly because the people in the village had all gone to Xifeng Mountain. Only the Qilin Guards were left. Let alone this bit of bandits, they wouldn't be afraid even if there were double the amount.
Shen Feng Ming strode forward quickly, stood on the hill, and looked down.
At this time, Zhu Liang and the others were only ten kilometers away from here. Based on their route, it was easy to tell that they were heading for Changshi Village.
His phoenix eyes immediately became extremely cold.
"Could it be that they are going to attack Changshi Village?" Yang Sheng stood beside him and asked in surprise. Changshi Village was just an ordinary village. Was it worth doing this? Or... He thought a lot. For example, if they really wanted to attack the people of Changshi Village, what would they do?
Surely they can't just watch the villagers being killed and go down to save them. How much could they save?
Protecting people was much more difficult than killing people, especially when protecting unarmed people.
And this group of people’s arrival was strange. Do they have any backup? If they did... Yang Sheng had experienced many life and death experiences. So he couldn't help feeling a little nervous at this moment. Fortunately, the people of Changshi Village have all gone to Xifeng Mountain. If not, they would be absolutely passive tonight.
What he could think of, Shen Feng Ming had already thought of it. He thought even more.
Shen Feng Ming took out a token from his waist and handed it to Yang Sheng, "Go to Tiger Mountain camp and call the defenders there."
"En!" When it comes to official business, Yang Sheng was Shen Feng Ming's subordinate. He immediately cupped his hands, took the token solemnly, got on his horse, and headed for the Tiger Mountain camp stationed in Lu Prefecture.
Shen Feng Ming looked into the distance and pulled out a sword from his waist with a trembling hand.
The sword was shining brightly and coldly as it gleamed slightly under the moonlight, as if it couldn't wait to kill and drink blood.
At this time, Zhu Liang stopped. The messenger sent by Wang Bin arrived.
"There was a vision in the sky. The people of Changshi Village have all gone to Xifeng Mountain?" Zhu Liang thought to himself, what a coincidence. He didn't suspect that someone was intervening. Instead, he immediately thought that Heaven had opened its eyes and couldn't bear to see innocent people being killed. That’s why, there was this vision.
He didn't quite agree with tonight's actions. But now that something like this happened, he immediately thought of retreating.
"General Wang said, keep going. If you encounter Qilin Guards, stall for a bit. He will arrive shortly. If you don't, leave as soon as possible." This was Wang Bin's final decision.
After Zhu Liang heard this, he cursed secretly in his heart. Those people were originally bait and his protection. Now they weren’t here and if he met Qilin Guards, wouldn't he be delivering himself?
General Wang coming over? What was the use of coming here? He was currently a bandit. No matter who, they can kill him.
Was Wang Bin using him as bait?
He won't do it. This matter was clearly not possible today.
"Go, go back." He turned the horse's head and announced.
The person who delivered the letter was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to march forward?"
Fart march forward. Zhu Liang ignored him and led people away.
Changshi Village was very quiet, while Xifeng Mountain was very lively at the moment. Everyone knelt down in front of the goddess statue and prayed sincerely. Then asked the old monk what was the meaning of the goddess' appearance?
The old monk also had a pious and surprised expression, saying that he didn't know why the goddess suddenly appeared.
Everyone got together and chatted a lot. Finally, they noticed that the temple was too dilapidated. They discussed how to pay for the repair of the temple together. Maybe the goddess would bless them.
A lot of people meant chaos. In this chaos, simple things would be dragged on for a long time. It wasn't until the time of 9pm that everyone remembered that today was winter start and they hadn't eaten dumplings yet. Their stomachs were starving.
It was getting late. Better hurry back.
Everyone went down the mountain in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
However, when they heard a certain matter the next day, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Last night! Just last night, hundreds of bandits were heading to their place.
Bandits! Bandits who killed without batting an eyelid. Wuling County hadn't had any trouble with bandits in decades. But when it comes to the ferocity of bandits, everyone was still terrified.
Fortunately, they went to Xifeng Mountain yesterday, otherwise those bandits would definitely not retreat easily. If they were caught by them... They dare not think about it.
Suddenly, they wondered if the Heavenly Daughter Goddess knew there would be bandits and she appeared to lead them away.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt it was so.
On a whim, they worshiped the Heavenly Daughter Goddess last night. At this moment they were full of gratitude and awe to the Heavenly Daughter Goddess.
Worshiping the Heavenly Daughter Goddess can eliminate disasters, resolve calamity, and cure diseases.
Yesterday, they discussed repairing the temple. After a long time of discussion, there was no result. Today, they must come up with a charter and be quick. If not, they will not be worthy of the life-saving grace of the Heavenly Daughter Goddess.
With this kind of mood, this matter was smoothly sorted.
Soon, the village chiefs of several nearby villages discussed who would pay how much and who would do what. Then they went up the mountain together to talk to the old monk.
After hearing what they said, the old monk realized that there were bandits last night. He was surprised and worried. The villagers thought that it was the Heavenly Daughter Goddess who rescued them, but he knew that it was him and Jiang Yun Zhu who made the fireball and the phantom. What about the bandits?
He hastily agreed with several village chiefs about repairing the temple and went to Changshi Village in person. First, he thanked Jiang Yun Zhu and returned the medical fees and medicine cost she had previously paid for Mi Sheng. He also mentioned last night’s bandit matter.
Jiang Yun Zhu looked surprised, "Could it be that the Heavenly Daughter Goddess really appeared?"
She would definitely not admit that she knew in advance that the bandits were coming.
When the old monk saw her like this, it dawned on him. Could it be that everything was really a manifestation of the Heavenly Daughter Goddess? She deliberately made them to do that thing last night to save the people from danger?
It seemed that this was the only logical explanation.
The old monk clasped his hands together and chanted ‘Amitabha’. He became more devout to the Heavenly Daughter Goddess and more grateful to Jiang Yun Zhu.
"Master, only you and I know this matter." Worried, Jiang Yun Zhu told the old monk.
"I understand." The old monk replied. If this matter of the appearance of the heavenly lady was false, it would chill the common people’s heart even though the outcome was good.
"Don't worry, Almsgiver. Apart from repairing the temple and worshiping the Goddess, if there is any extra money, I will give it to the common people." The old monk said.
Jiang Yun Zhu nodded. That's good. The manifestation was fake after all. Only by doing good deeds in the temple can the incense burn in the temple last.
After seeing off the old monk, she saw a large group of people coming up the official road from the north in great fanfare. From the looks of it, they had come from the Wuling Mine.
Jiang Yun Zhu turned around and closed the door. It seemed that everything would come to an end.
Shen Feng Ming strode forward quickly, stood on the hill, and looked down.
