Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

The village chief walked slowly towards the hall, and from a distance he could hear bursts of noisy sounds coming from there.

When they reached the door, they saw a row of strong men standing there in an orderly manner, each holding a large sword that gleamed with cold light, looking very majestic.

When the village chief approached the gate, one of the men rushed forward, stretched out his hand to block the village chief's way, and shouted:

"Who are you? Put down the weapons in your hands immediately!" This sudden question made the village chief stop.

The gatekeeper's loud shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Someone exclaimed, "Village leader, what are you..."

The village chief raised his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes met with Xiao Huzi who was looking out from inside.

It turned out that in the center of this spacious hall, not only was Xiao Huzi here, but most of his trusted subordinates, including Xiao Huzi, were trapped here at the moment.

However, each of their hands and feet were tied tightly, making it impossible for them to move freely.

The sudden appearance of the village chief was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing quite a stir among the crowd.

The people who were originally panicked became even more agitated at this moment.

The group of people who were responsible for guarding them also turned their heads and cast their gazes at the tall and imposing man at the door.

After seeing the person coming, he gestured to his companion beside him.

Then he shouted at the restless people in the middle of the hall: "Be quiet!"

His roar exploded in the air like thunder, frightening the people in Snake Mountain Village who were already frightened and now prisoners, and they were suddenly silent and fell silent in an instant.

Seeing that they knew what was happening, the guard did not bother them any more and said to his companions, "You guys watch here first, I'll go take a look."

"Okay, go ahead! There are so many of us, there will definitely be no trouble."

After discussing with his companions, the man took a deep breath and strode towards the door resolutely.

As he approached the gate, the long sword in his hand trembled slightly.

According to common sense, he shouldn't have approached here so rashly at this moment.

Under normal circumstances, he should first report the situation to his superiors and wait until everything is arranged and planned thoroughly before taking action, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After all, the patriarch and his men took a large group of people to pursue and search the back mountain, and those who stayed behind were responsible for guarding those who had been subdued.

If the person in front of him is really the leader of this village - the so-called "village chief", then this matter is of great importance.

I must report this to the clan leader immediately! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tightly grip the long knife in his hand, while staring intently at the figure who was slowly walking out of the hall.

However, at this moment, the "village leader" suddenly caught sight of two guards behind him who were also holding long swords and were ready to point them at him.

Shouting "Unload your weapons!"

If he made even the slightest rash move, the people lying in ambush around the yard would rush in like a tide and take him down in an instant.

He turned his head slightly to glance at his brothers who were looking at him in the hall. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gently released his right hand that had been tightly holding the long sword...

—clang—

The heavy knife handle hit the ground with a sound, and the fire from the torches around seemed to flicker slightly.

Seeing this man put down his weapon, the man looked at the village chief and said, "You, come in with me first. Don't play tricks. We just don't want to cause more casualties. If any of you want to die...

We are also willing to help you. After all, we are not those bodhisattvas who have truly received incense and have compassionate and kind hearts.”

The village chief looked at the brothers in the hall and said nothing more. He took steps that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and stepped into the courtyard he entered every day.

The guard who came to pick someone up watched his companion on duty at the door bend down to pick up the 'long knife' on the ground and winked at him.

The guard immediately understood, picked up the long sword in his hand and ran towards the back mountain.

The guard turned around and followed the village chief and said, "Please follow me to another place."

The village chief paused and looked at the guard with narrowed eyes.

The guard felt something was wrong when he said that, knowing that the man had strayed from the topic, he continued, "My hero, you said you are the head of this village, the village chief.

Of course, I can’t let you suffer here.”

More importantly, if the village chief really wanted to avoid Yi Zhen and lead his subordinates to fight to the death, how would he explain to his superiors?

After the guard finished speaking, the village chief said indifferently, "We are all brothers. We have been with me through thick and thin, fighting on the edge of a knife. How can we be wronged?"

I'm still staying with my brothers."

The village chief's voice was loud and clear, and everyone present heard it, especially his former brothers from Snake Mountain Village, who were all moved after hearing it.

"Brave man, please don't make things difficult for me," the warning from the guard Shi Liang when he left is still fresh in my mind.

How dare he relax so easily.

The village chief also heard it, and he had to go to a separate place to be watched. Looking at the current situation, he was at a disadvantage and had no choice.

Looking at the brothers who were tied together in the hall, the village chief sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I have one request."

"Oh, what's your request?" the guard waved to someone in the hall.

After seeing this, the man immediately opened a door in the corner of the hall.

The guard took the 'village leader' straight into the small room.

The village chief also saw what these people were doing, but he didn't care. He followed behind and said, "Please don't make things difficult for my brothers. They are all my men and they all follow my orders. If there is anything, just come to me."

"Don't worry, we are not those barbarians." The guard didn't take it to heart.

As he spoke, he brought the person to the door and pointed inside, "Go in, but don't play tricks. We are all surrounded by our clan leader's people. Not even a fly can escape."

……

"Don't worry, I'm a man who can bend and stretch. How could I do such a cowardly thing as abandoning my brothers? Besides, I'm not familiar with this place and this terrain!"

He changed the subject, trying to get some information out of this person. "By the way, brother, I don't know what kind of business you are in. Even if you become a ghost, you must be a clear-minded ghost.

I don’t know when our Snake Village offended you all.”

In his opinion, they were caught in one fell swoop this time because their enemies had come to seek revenge for the previous robbery.
