I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

After all, having experienced this a few times before, Village Chief Li and the others had become more alert. Something was clearly amiss with tonight's events, and they realized it immediately after the Xiahe Villagers left.

Jiang Qinyu was very pleased about this. Finally, she didn't have to remind everyone about everything!

"Uncle Village Chief, Grandpa Jiang, there is indeed something wrong with this matter, but we don't know what is going on right now, so we can only passively defend ourselves."

Jiang Qinyu began to analyze the situation for everyone, "The people of Xiahe Village fled famine, encountered bandits, and then beat them back. This doesn't make sense."

In fact, she was not sure why the people from Xiahe Village came back, because in the previous life, the people from Xiahe Village pushed the people from Dinghe Village to block the knife and robbed the supplies of Dinghe Village, so they did not come back.

But in this life, the people of Xiahe Village faced brutal robbery and murder, and it is possible that they were frightened and wanted to return to their familiar place.

But why did they go straight to Dinghe Village to borrow grain? How did they know that Dinghe Village had grain? This is the key question.

"You're right, girl," Grandpa Jiang confirmed Jiang Qinyu's guess. "They didn't inform us when they fled the famine, and it's impossible for them to know about our situation before they've settled down. There must be something else going on."

Village Chief Li frowned, "Who told them?"

He was not interested in why they came back, but since it involved the food in Dingshui Village, he had to take it seriously.

"I suspect," Jiang Qinyu pondered, "that the head of Qinggang Mountain and the county magistrate haven't given up yet..."

As soon as she said this, the others looked at each other in surprise.

"Why haven't you given up yet? They've already searched the village!"

"Yeah, how frustrated were we last time? What else do they want?"

"This is so infuriating! No, starting tomorrow, we have to warn everyone in the village, young and old, that they absolutely cannot let on that we still have food!"

"..."

Jiang Qinyu was also thinking about this matter from beginning to end. The grain they found from Qinggang Mountain only added up to a few thousand kilograms, which was not a large amount for a village of a few hundred people.

The people of Qinggang Mountain kept on pestering them, so the county magistrate sent officials to search the village. The first thing the people of Xiahe Village did after fleeing famine was to borrow food...

Jiang Qinyu's mind suddenly lit up, and she understood!

There was definitely something fishy about the supplies she had taken from the cave at the back of Qinggang Mountain! And it was related to the Yongshan County Magistrate!

"No matter what, as long as we prepare ourselves, we won't have to worry about them causing trouble." Jiang Qinyu felt a little guilty at the moment and said quickly.

It is very likely that these repeated crises were caused by her.

She unlocked the system's grain and oil area, and the villagers found enough food in the mountains to get through the winter, and there was no food crisis for the time being.

At that time, the system took away all the gold, silver and gems to obtain the permission to upgrade the system, so that for so long, Jiang Qinyu didn't pay much attention to that batch of supplies.

When collecting supplies, she just felt that there were a lot of things in the cave, definitely tens of thousands of pounds, but she had never counted the exact amount.

Jiang Qinyu quickly opened the system in her mind and activated the material statistics function in the cash register area.

Jiang Qinyu felt numb looking at the words "one million and two hundred thousand catties of three-year-old aged rice" in her mind.

One dan of Dai Yue is 120 jin, which means she took away 10,000 dan of grain from the cave in Qinggang Mountain?

No wonder she took so long to pack her things and was almost bumped into by the One-Eyed King. It turned out that it was because there were too many things.

Oh my god, ten thousand shi! This amount, apart from large grain stores, can only be found in military supplies!

Judging from the reactions of the leader of Qinggang Mountain and the magistrate of Yongshan County, this batch of supplies must be for the army, but why did it end up in Qinggang Mountain?

Just as Jiang Qinyu and the others were discussing how to deal with what was going to happen next, on the main road out of Dinghe Village, Village Chief Wu loudly questioned the two tall and thin men.

"Didn't you say that the people of Dingshui Village have food and would definitely not stand by and watch someone die?"

The two men looked at each other, and one of them said, "Don't your two villages have many relatives by marriage? Why don't you ask them to beg?"

"Why didn't you ask for help? The people in Dingshui Village insisted that they had no food and refused to lend it to us! Is there something wrong with your information?" Village Chief Wu looked at them suspiciously.

They did turn back because they were scared of being robbed by bandits, but it was these two people who suggested that they go to Dingshui Village to borrow food.

"If they don't lend it to you, won't you rob them?" another tall and thin man said disdainfully.

Village Chief Wu sneered, "You all said they stole the food from Qinggang Mountain. We haven't had a full meal in days. How can we defeat them?"

"Lao Gao, these are just a bunch of nobodies. Stop wasting time with them and let's go back quickly. The boss is waiting!"

The two tall and thin men ignored Village Chief Wu and walked away.

"Village chief, are we just going to let them go like this? We don't have much food left in a few days!" Someone said anxiously behind Village Chief Wu.

Village Chief Wu turned around and glared at the person who had spoken. "Didn't you see they had machetes on them? Go after them if you can!"

"Then what should we do?" The villagers all looked at Village Chief Wu and asked.

Village Chief Wu scratched his head in frustration. "What else can we do? Learn from the people in Dingshui Village! If they can get food from the mountains, why can't we?"

He still couldn't believe it. The people of Dingshui Village could survive here. Are they worse than others?

On the other side, two tall and thin men returned to Qinggang Mountain and were called in for questioning by the One-eyed King.

"I told you to contact someone, why did you come back only now?" The One-Eyed King looked at the two people below unhappily.

"Boss," one of them said with a chuckle, "We didn't mean to come back late. On the way back, Lao Shu and I met people from Xiahe Village and thought we could lead them to Dinghe Village to take a look."

"Yes, Boss," the mouse also clasped his fists and said, "Old Wolf and I originally wanted to send the people from Xiahe Village to rob the food, but who knew they were such losers? They went into Dinghe Village, walked around, and then came out without accomplishing anything."

These two people were the trusted aides promoted by One-Eyed Wang Xin, and they knew the quantity of that batch of grain.

The One-Eyed King frowned, "Our important matter is urgent. We cannot make any mistakes at this critical moment. You should be more careful in what you do in the future."

"What are you afraid of, boss? Don't we have the county magistrate's support?" Old Wolf asked in confusion.

The one-eyed king scolded in a low voice, "Fool! If we can't rally the troops, you and I will both die! Don't mention the county magistrate again, understand?"

The county magistrate was already unhappy that the batch of things was lost here. If he could no longer do things for the county magistrate, how could he survive in the future?

Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly agreed and began to report on their outing.

"The people over at Huang Wenshan's place haven't been able to make ends meet for a long time. When they heard we could provide food here, they immediately agreed to come. However, they need to pack their things, so it will take two days for them to arrive."

"Stone Mountain is similar, but they have fewer people and can come here tomorrow."

"There are also places like Wanjing Mountain, Chengliang Mountain, and Tazi Mountain. They said they would consider it before sending us a letter. But I see they have no food left, so they should come after all."

After hearing what the two said, the one-eyed king felt relieved and stood at the gate looking towards Dingshui Village.

He believed that the things must be in Dingshui Village. Once he gathered all the people, he would definitely take them back!
