Dalin Village.

Ouyang Heng did not leave in the end, but stayed in Dalin Village.

He has already sent a secret letter to the county governor's office, and we will see how soon they can arrive.

Around noon on the second day, the villagers discovered that the blacksmith in the village was missing.

The old village chief Bashan sat on a chair and smoked a cigarette and said: "Tiejiang Li fled from elsewhere a few years ago. He may have problems."

He already knew about that group of thieves.

He felt very uneasy when he learned that the gang of thieves still lived nearby.

If thieves rush down to the village and kill them randomly, who can stop them?

Last year, most of the able-bodied men in the village were killed. There are not many strong adult men in the village now, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Moreover, the villagers are ordinary people who do not practice martial arts. They do not have any great skills other than being farmers and farming.

"Has anyone seen Blacksmith Li hanging around the mountain?" Ouyang Heng frowned.

"Yes, the last time the villagers saw him was on the edge of the mountain." The old village chief Bashan nodded.

Ouyang Heng slapped his palms on the table and said: "There is no luck, we will think that Li Tiejiang is a secret spy. He went to the back mountain just to spread the news."

"Old village chief, we can't hesitate any longer. Call everyone in the village and let us evacuate."

"Your Majesty is right, we will evacuate immediately." The old village chief Bashan stood up.

In this world, almost every village that can survive has smart people.

The old village chief Bashan is a smart man, otherwise, he would not have been elected as the village chief.

Just like last year, when faced with the crisis of wiping out the village, he sent his youngest son, along with the village's willing men, to attract the attention of the thieves...

Although his youngest son and many men were killed by thieves in the end, he also successfully saved the village from destruction.

This time was no exception. He made a decision immediately without any hesitation. This kind of execution ability is indeed very rare.

The old village chief, Bashan, went out immediately.

Ouyang Heng didn't care about that, he came to the entrance of the village alone.

Looking into the distance.

Not long after, a black spot approached rapidly in the sky and landed in front of him.

This is a small falcon with a whistle tied to its leg.

"Finally it's almost here."

Ouyang Heng felt a little more at ease.

If he were alone, he would not be able to face those "thieves" no matter what.

I don't know who is coming.

He waited for a while and saw Jian August running in a hurry from inside.

"Brother Ouyang, it's not good, someone seems to be coming down from the mountain!"

Jian August was a little panicked.

"Don't panic, are those people planning to come down, or have they already come down?"

Ouyang Heng asked.

"We haven't come down yet, but someone is already at the foot of the mountain and saw people on the mountainside. There are many people."

Jian August took a few breaths, and he ran all the way until he was out of breath.

"You haven't come down yet. Ask the old village chief to take the people to hide. If you don't have time to hide, just come to the entrance of the village." Without further ado, Ouyang Heng said straightforwardly without any unnecessary words.

"Okay, I'll go right here." Jian August walked away and ran back again.

Ouyang Heng looked ahead, and he began to feel a little anxious.

What we compete for now is speed. It depends on whether the people from Sixiang City can arrive in time.

If you come a step too late, you may face a tragedy.

However, Ouyang Heng did not let him wait too long, as he saw a fast horse approaching at a high speed from a distance.

The rumble of horse hooves shook the earth.

Ouyang Heng raised his eyes and took a look.

Gu ErIt was Luo Fengtang who came in person. In addition, Mi Qi was also in the team, a small cavalry team composed of nearly fifty people.

Luo Fengtang drove his war horse to Ouyang Heng, then reined in the horse's rope and turned over to dismount.

"Are we not late?" Luo Fengtang asked immediately.

"No, look, the old village chief has already led people to the entrance of the village. Those thieves on the mountain should have just arrived at the end of the village." Ouyang Heng said.

"That's good, let them come and see how capable they are."

Luo Fengtang snorted coldly.

The cavalrymen behind them have all dismounted, and they are standing at the intersection with their horses.

The road conditions in the village are not good, so riding a horse is a burden. It is better to dismount directly and fight.

At this time, the old village chief Bashan had already arrived and a group of villagers came to the intersection.

The villagers looked very embarrassed. They had no time to prepare and they were really in a hurry when they left.

"Everyone, don't panic, here are the troops from the imperial court."

Ouyang Hengda said.

But something unexpected happened to him.

As soon as they heard that they were soldiers of the imperial court, the faces of the villagers immediately changed, they all trembled, and some even cried uncontrollably.

"Sir, don't worry, these villagers have been scared before." The old village chief Bashan immediately came over to smooth things over.

"This is General Luo, not another imperial soldier." Ouyang Heng said in a low voice.

He could only use the name of General Luo to give it a try.

"Ah, it's General Luo. Sir, you should have told me earlier."

The eyes of the old village chief Bashan were already widened.

He immediately turned around and shouted to everyone: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't panic, here is General Luo, our savior!"

"What, is it General Luo?"

"Oh, this is a living Bodhisattva."

"Yes, we have to kowtow to thank him."

"Let's go and kowtow together."

A group of common people, shouting and shouting, knelt down towards Luo Fengtang one by one. Even the old village chief Bashan couldn't stop him.

In desperation, we had no choice but to leave it to them.

Ouyang Heng was shocked for the second time.

For the first time, he was shocked that the imperial soldiers and horses were not much different from bandits in the eyes of ordinary people.

But this second time, he was shocked that General Luo's status in the eyes of ordinary people had reached such a terrifying level.

This matter has pros and cons.

In terms of profit, because Luo Fengtang has high prestige, many things can be accomplished smoothly.

However, the disadvantages are also quite obvious and terrifying.

It would be really strange for a general who leads troops to fight to have such a high prestige that he is not jealous of the emperor.

If the emperor was suspicious of General Luo...it's scary to think about him.

However, this is not something he wants to consider.

"Ouyang, go and appease the villagers with the old village chief."

"Miqi, take the others and follow me around the villagers to the back mountain."

Luo Fengtang began to assign tasks quickly. He had no time to waste here now. All matters here were left to Ouyang Heng and the old village chief.

Luo Fengtang and his men quickly arrived at the back of the village.

He casually took out a telescope.

"They're almost there."

Luo Fengtang saw clearly through the telescope that there were more than thirty warriors on the mountain, all with their faces covered, and they were jumping quickly towards the bottom of the mountain.
