MTL - The Great Tang: God-level Bear Child-Chapter 1709 : In the past of Linjiacun, Yanyun's evil deeds
In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengfeng walked out of the tent early, and bumped into the tired figure head-on.
Last night, he took Li Chengfeng's token and took a small boat to Jiangzhou overnight to inform Li Chengfeng of his decision.
As long as things change, the shadow guards in the cities around Lingnan will immediately spread the news.
At that time, the city defense forces of those state capitals will all arrive in Lingnan, and the situation will escalate from suppressing bandits to suppressing chaos in the region.
Even if he is in the realm of heaven and man, he is a little tired after traveling such a long distance.
"Your Highness, everything has been done." Shadow came to report to Li Chengfeng.
As the Heavenly Demon Arts became more and more sophisticated, Li Chengfeng's aura became more and more concise, and even the shadow felt a little bit of fear.
"Let Li Ling and Qisha prepare for it!"
"You should also go and take a break, and we will set off again at noon, and rush to Lingnan at full speed!"
Li Chengfeng looked at the tiredness on the shadow's face and said slowly.
These days, basically all the things are done by him to the shadow, and he really needs to take a good rest.
Not only him, but the soldiers of the Seven Killing Army and the Fengzi Corps also need to rest. They have suffered a lot from running around on the water these days.
"Yes! Your Highness!" Shadow retreated to the tent to rest.
Time soon came to noon, and the soldiers of the Seven Killing Army in the camp cleaned up the traces left by yesterday's garrison.
The members of the Fengzi Corps also assembled early, and the group set off for Lingnan again.
The camp they are currently in is not far from Raozhou. They need to bypass Raozhou and then head towards Wuzhou.
The Lingnan area is just three hundred miles east of Wuzhou, and the boundary between Taizhou and Yuezhou is the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Lingnan.
The army moved forward at full speed, and it was not until the evening that people appeared in front of everyone.
There was smoke from cooking in the distance, more than a dozen families were located among them, and there were children playing around at the entrance of the village.
"Let everyone change their armor, pass by in casual clothes, and don't harass the people."
"Qi Kill, you take Lu Wen to buy some food from the villagers here."
"Remember, the price can only be higher than the market price, not lower!"
Sitting on the horse, Li Chengfeng looked at the village not far ahead, and told the Seven Killers behind him.
"Yes!"
Only then did Qisha and Li Ling command the soldiers to change their armors on the spot, and the group continued to march towards the village ahead again.
When they came to the entrance of the village, the children at the gate immediately surrounded them, staring at them intently.
"Who are you? Why did you come to our village?"
An older child pointed at Li Chengfeng with a tree branch, imitated the adults and asked, looking at them timidly.
The adults in the village once specifically told them that if they encountered groups of outsiders, they must hide immediately.
Unexpectedly, several younger brothers rushed forward and greeted him on their own initiative.
"We are going to Lingnan's caravan through here, and want to buy some grain in your village. Where is the village chief?"
Li Chengfeng came to the boy with a smile on his face.
But to his surprise, when those children heard the word Lingnan, they scattered away as if they had seen a ghost.
On the village road, a white-haired old man came up to him leaning on a cane.
"I am the village head here, please leave? We don't do business with caravans going to Lingnan."
The old man's face was stern, and he looked at Li Chengfeng with a bit of pity in his eyes.
"Don't worry, old man, we are all serious businessmen, and we will definitely not affect your village."
"In this way, we will charge your food at a price that is three levels higher than the market price."
"We'll leave here after we buy some food for the road, and we won't bother you too much."
Although Li Chengfeng felt a little strange, he didn't ask further.
"You should give up on this idea, my Lin Family Village..."
Just as the old man was about to speak, a middle-aged man walked out of the house and came to the old man.
"Patriarch, let's agree. Life in the village is becoming more and more difficult now. Wouldn't it be better to earn more money?"
"Lin Gu, don't talk nonsense, the rules of our Lin Family Village are absolutely unbreakable!"
The old man's chest heaved with excitement, his hand holding the walking stick trembled slightly, and his beard straightened with anger.
The middle-aged man named Lin Gu shook his head again and again, also speaking earnestly.
"If this continues, everyone in our village will run away. Why not break this rule?"
"Even if we don't need to make money, what about these children? They can't stay in the village all their lives, so they have to find a teacher to teach them!"
Hearing these words, the old man fell into silence, and slightly raised his head to look at the children who were poking their heads not far away.
"Oh... whatever! Come with me!"
Then the old man brought Lin Gu and Li Chengfeng together, and the three of them walked towards the ancestral hall in the village together.
Several people came to sit down in the ancestral hall together, and Li Chengfeng, who was suspicious and asked, asked the question in his heart.
"This village chief, I want to know why your village doesn't welcome outsiders? And why do you keep refusing to do business with us?"
The old man nodded slightly and looked at Lin Gu again.
"It's a long story, you should explain it to him!"
"Young master, this matter is like this..." The middle-aged man then spoke out about the matter in the Lin Family Village.
It turned out that the reason why Linjiacun was so resistant to merchants going to Lingnan, and even treated Li Chengfeng and others extremely badly, was because of a past event.
Originally, the people here lived in the Lingnan Mountains.
But just over ten years ago, a group of people who claimed to be Yanyun Pirates attacked their village, and only a dozen families escaped.
They also tried to bring the matter to the Lingnan prefect, but they kept getting nowhere without any response.
So when they came to settle down near Raozhou City, these dozen or so households made a rule that they would never have contact with people from Lingnan.
That's why they are extremely resistant to Lingnan, and they are even extremely unkind to all outsiders in the village, and people in the village rarely go out.
This is what caused the village head to resist so much.
But it has been like this in the village, it is not a long-term solution, they don't care but the children have to go out.
That's why Lin Gu insisted on contacting the outside world, doing business with merchants, and giving the children a better environment.
After hearing the whole thing, Li Chengfeng felt a little complicated.
If I could deal with these people earlier, maybe these bullied people would be able to get their grievances cleared as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, old man, we have nothing to do with those Yanyun bandits in Lingnan."
"To be honest, we were dispatched by the government this time to deliver supplies to Lingnan."
"I believe it won't be long~ www.novelbuddy.com~ Those Lingnan Yanyun pirates will be eradicated by the authorities!"
After thinking carefully, Li Chengfeng decided to use a white lie to appease the old man first.
"Officials? This old man doesn't believe in officials anymore. I have been feuding with Linjiacun for more than ten years, and there is no response."
"Leave as soon as you finish the transaction, I will notify the people in the village who want to sell dry food to come over."
"Old man, I'm getting old, let Lin Gu come and connect with you!"
The old man shook his head again and again, his eyes were full of disappointment, he got up and left the ancestral hall with a cane, his back was full of loneliness.
"Young master, don't be offended, our village chief can't do anything about it."
"You tell your people to wait for a while, and I will arrange for people to make some dry food and sell it to you."
Lin Gu also got up and went to arrange the purchase of dry food and supplies.
