C845 Eat a Hearty Meal
"Originally, there were no villages in this col. According to the rumors passed down by the elders, it was unknown which dynasty they came from, but at that time, the imperial government was in chaos and the military was in chaos. War broke out everywhere, and the emperor personally hired a capable man to organize an army to pacify the chaos! This capable man had naturally become the general of this army. He was truly powerful. Everywhere he went, he was calm and peaceful. There would always be war, and the citizens would always be happy! Not long after, the country became stable, and finance and commerce were restored! The commoners saw this general as a god, saying that he had descended from the heavens to help the emperor! In the beginning, the emperor was very happy. He conferred the title of the settled nation's great general on him, bestowing him with a mansion, sending him good lands. He was extremely respectful to him, however … This is how the imperial power was in the ancient times. After a long time, in addition to the treacherous words of his subordinates, the Emperor started to suspect this general. He suspected that this general was scheming against him and wanted to take his life.
The Village Head Wang explained in great detail, and Faang Cheng and the others listened attentively. The three of them looked at each other, and understood each other's thoughts.
But this general is an extremely loyal person. Even if the emperor treats him like this, he is still sincere to the emperor and has never tried to kill him before. The emperor chased him down and chased him all the way, yet he led his men to flee for his life. They escaped all the way to our place, where the mountains are steep and the cove is very hidden, hard to find, so … Soldiers will temporarily stay here! It was said that they had lived here for a long time. Over the years, many soldiers had found nearby girls and married them to give birth! However, one day, the Emperor found out that they were hiding here, so he sent his army to surround them. Actually... The location of this col is easy to defend and hard to attack. As long as the general is determined to fight the emperor, they would still have a chance of survival, but … The general still gave the order not to resist and retreated all the way to the mountains. They hid in the caves on the mountains and gradually, they ran out of food. Their bodies weakened and the final result was … Those who were killed were killed, starved to death, and starved to death! The soldiers all shouted loudly, "You dog of an emperor, hearing the slanderous words, if our general really wants to fight against you, you won't be his match even if we have ten of you. But you keep forcing him again and again. At the last moment, the general …" Telling us not to resist, we … "I refuse to accept this …" When these words reached the emperor's ears, he was immediately stupefied. Only now did he come to his senses. That's right, if the general wanted to resist, how could he be a match for the general? Thus, the Emperor became furious and killed all the people who tried to persuade him, but the general … But he would never come back! "It was said that without a general, the emperor's authority was taken by someone else not long after. He died …
At this point, Village Head Wang sighed emotionally.
"Loyalty has been against my ears since ancient times. Sigh …" "It's said that we villagers are basically the descendants of soldiers …"
"Descendant?"
Faang Cheng was startled, then suddenly remembered what the spirit that was attached to Xiao Shunzi's body had said earlier in the day.
"They... "We should be filial to begin with …"
Seems like, it was because they knew that these villagers were their descendants that they said such words. Faang Cheng could not help but nod his head!
He raised his head and looked at the vague shadow of the mountain in the distance.
"Probably... That general's tomb might very well be in that mountain, it's just that there are so many Ancient Spirits … Could it be that the emperor had buried all his soldiers together? "In a while, after finishing this thank-you banquet set up by the villagers, I must go and have a look!"
After listening to Village Head Wang's long and strange story, the villagers had already prepared the Sea Heaven Banquet. A whole lamb was roasted on a crackling bonfire in the middle of the field. Next to it was a roasted chicken that had been roasted and was covered in golden oil. The surrounding tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies.
"Master teachers, please take your seats!"
Village Head Wang said respectfully. Right now, he admired the three of them from the bottom of his heart.
"Big Brother Wang, you better not call us Masters, just call us Brothers!"
Faang Cheng laughed.
"Sure …"
Seeing that Faang Cheng and the other two had taken their seats, Village Head Wang raised the wine cup in his hand. After that, all the villagers immediately picked up their cups beside their hands and stood up with their own.
"Brothers, today... On behalf of all the villagers, I would like to express our most sincere gratitude to the three of you! "I won't say anything else, I'm done …"
The straightforward Village Head Wang raised his wine cup and raised his head to drink it. The rest of the villagers also raised their wine cups and drank the wine cleanly along with the Village Chief.
Faang Cheng and the others were slightly overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. With so many people toasting to them, this scene was truly shocking! They also raised their glasses in a hurry,
"It's nothing. I just did what I could!"
Yu Yien said with a smile.
"That's right, Big Brother Wang, you don't have to be so serious …"
Lee Zhaowen said in excitement.
"Big Brother Wang, you are too serious!"
Faang Cheng also said.
"A drop of water should be repaid by a spring. You have saved so many of our lives, all we can do is to treat you all to a meal. This is the repayment of a drop of water!"
The Big Brother Wang continued.
"This is not something that can be repaid with water! This is the most meaningful meal we have ever had. Not only is it delicious, it also has your intentions. We can eat it! "
Faang Cheng nodded.
Hearing Faang Cheng's words, Village Head Wang laughed happily.
"Alright, since that's the case, let go of our shoulders and eat. Today … "Our meat pipes are full, our wine pipes are full …"
"Alright!"
Faang Cheng raised the wine cup in his hand once again!
In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. The village had children at home, and their mothers had already taken them home to sleep. Many of the villagers who couldn't drink had either gone home or to sleep by the bonfire! There were very few people left drinking, including Faang Cheng, Yu Yien and Lee Zhaowen! Village Head Wang had already been lying beside them and was snoring in sleep. Faang Cheng finished the last cup of wine in his hand and then looked at Yu Yien and Lee Zhaowen.
"Let's go!"
"En!"
Yu Yien nodded his head. Somewhat unwilling to part, Lee Zhaowen put down the wine cup in his hand, and before he left, he even pulled out a chicken leg that had been roasted until it was tender on the outside.
"The villagers are too enthusiastic, I can't bear to leave!"
He muttered,
"You don't want to part with the delicacies in the village, Greedy Cat!"
Yu Yien looked at the chicken leg in his hand and could not help but laugh.
"The farmer has a discussion, and it's simple. It's really touching!"
Faang Cheng nodded his head, but still took a step forward.
"Fang …" Grandmaster Fang, where are you guys going? "
Little Flower's father, Wang Jianping, walked over unsteadily. His face was flushed red, and he was already tongue-tied.
"Us? We should go! "
Faang Cheng laughed and said.
"Go?" Leaving just like that? No more drinks? "
Wang Jianping also knew to keep people,
"I'm not drinking anymore, it's time to go!"
Faang Cheng patted his shoulder, then followed Yu Yien and Lee Zhaowen out of the village …
