In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

As Ren Xia recalled the fierce battle of the past few days, he slowly said, "The battle with the Wang family that day was extremely dangerous. We first relied on Young Master Chen's divine beast to silently kill the Wang family's sentries, and then..."

As Ren Xia slowly began to explain, Xu Zhiwen's eyes widened. Just now, Chen Dao had said that he was just making empty promises, but Ren Xia's words were completely different from what Chen Dao had said!

According to Ren Xia, Chen Dao was the one who contributed the most to the annihilation of the Wang family, which greatly shocked Xu Zhiwen!

"What? There's a fifth-rank martial artist?"

Li Hu, who had somehow gotten close by, stared wide-eyed, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

He had just heard Ren Xia say that the old patriarch of the Wang family possessed the strength of the fifth rank!

What is the concept of the fifth rank realm?

Li Hu had mastered the Cloud Shadow Palm technique for some time now, but after a period of arduous training, he hadn't even reached the threshold of the sixth rank, let alone the fifth...

It's no exaggeration to say that a fifth-rank martial artist is no less than a peerless master in a novel for Li Hu, who once only dared to dream of reaching the seventh rank!

however……

Such a peerless master was actually defeated by Chen Dao, and in the end, he was left with no trace of his body.

"Not bad!"

Ren Xia nodded emphatically and said, "Wang Changsheng, the old patriarch of the Wang family, is really powerful. In just one move, he seriously injured the prefect and Master Han. At that time, we were filled with despair and thought that we were bound to lose!"

Fortunately, at this moment, Young Master Chen's divine beast stepped forward!

Ren Xia recalled Xiao Yuan's adorable appearance: "Young Master Chen's divine beast is truly extraordinary. It is extremely fast, and even Wang Changsheng, who is at the fifth level, cannot easily catch it. In addition, Young Master Chen's divine beast can also breathe fire. After a fierce battle, Young Master Chen's divine beast successfully killed Wang Changsheng and burned him to ashes with fire!"

"hiss!"

Li Hu and Xu Zhiwen both gasped in surprise, looking at Chen Dao not far away with disbelief in their eyes.

They all knew about Xiaoyuan's amazing abilities; Li Hu had once been brutally beaten by her, however...

To their utter surprise, what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg!

Or……

When Xiao Yuan dealt with Li Hu, she didn't use her full strength at all!

"Thank goodness it didn't use its full strength!"

Li Hu stared blankly at Xiao Yuan perched on Chen Dao's shoulder, feeling incredibly fortunate.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuan did not use her full strength when she sparred with him. Otherwise, with Xiao Yuan's ability to kill a fifth-rank martial artist, she could probably burn Li Hu to ashes in no time!

…………

…………

Twenty thousand shi of grain was clearly no small amount. Chen Dao and his team arrived in the county town in the morning and worked until noon before successfully moving the twenty thousand shi of grain into the county town's granary.

"Your Excellency, I have already counted the grain; there are a total of 20,000 shi of grain, not a single jin missing!"

He Jian reported to Xu Zhiwen.

"Good good!"

Xu Zhiwen said "good" three times, then turned to Chen Dao and the others and said, "Young friend Chen and everyone else must be tired after their long journey. How about I host a banquet to entertain them?"

"Next time."

Chen Dao waved his hand and refused: "I'm in a hurry to get back to the village, so I won't stay any longer."

"That's fine!"

Xu Zhiwen nodded and watched the transport team leave.

At the entrance of Chenjia Village, Chen Jiang and Chen Si looked at the long line that appeared in their sight and exchanged bewildered glances.

As members of the guard team who frequently had to watch over the village entrance, the two had seen countless caravans, but they had never seen anything like it before...

Such a huge caravan!

At first glance, the line seemed to stretch endlessly, with each truck fully loaded with goods, which was quite astonishing.

In addition, Chen Jiang and Chen Si also noticed a number of accompanying knights!

Do not!

Not knights, but cavalry!

Looking at the people riding on horseback and wearing armor, Chen Jiang and Chen Si's expressions became slightly solemn, and their right hands subconsciously pressed down on their waist knives.

Although those knights didn't seem like they were up to no good, we should still be on guard; it's better to be safe than sorry.

Fortunately, at that moment, the two noticed Chen Dao and Chen Cheng at the very front of the group.

It turns out to be Daoge'er.

The two breathed a sigh of relief and did not abandon their posts, but waited for Chen Dao to approach.

Chen Dao rode forward, dismounted nimbly, and then said to the two men, "Brother Jiang, Fourth Brother, it's your turn to guard the village entrance today?"

"Yes, Brother Dao."

Chen Jiang answered, then couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dao, how come you brought back so many people and goods after going out?"

It's no wonder Chen Jiang was so puzzled. Chen Dao had brought back so many people and goods this time. The endless rows of trucks and the laborers and cavalry accompanying them made it look like a sea of ​​people and goods, which was truly shocking.

"This is the grain I got from the county town."

Chen Dao said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, go to the village and inform the village chief to gather all the able-bodied men in the village to help unload the grain."

food?!

Looking at the endless line of trucks, Chen Jiang and Chen Si were shocked. How much grain must that be?

"Brother Dao, I'll go and inform the village chief right away."

Although he was shocked, Chen Jiang did not forget his business and hurriedly turned around and ran back to the village to inform Chen He.

Chen Dao led the grain transport team, which surged into Chenjia Village like a long dragon.

Wow, why are there so many cars?

"What on earth is this? There's way too much of it!"

"Could it be grain?"

"It looks like it! I used to help people transport grain, and it looks a lot like the ones on the truck!"

"So many carts, each one piled high with grain? How much grain is that? Probably more than ten thousand catties?"

"..."

Unsurprisingly, the arrival of the grain transport team caused a sensation throughout Chenjia Village.

Many people working near Chencun Avenue were deeply shocked by the sight of the long convoy of vehicles.

People working in Chenjia Village had many opportunities to meet merchants, but most of those who came to Chenjia Village to do business were small vendors. People like Wu Han, Chen Gou, and Zhang He, who owned ten or eight trucks, were already considered "big merchants." As for the caravan that appeared in Chenjia Village at this time...

The visual impact of that seemingly endless convoy was something that Wu Han, Chen Gou, and their small-scale operations could never match.

"Rice Brother".

At this moment, Chen He arrived with the able-bodied men from the village. Looking at the deep ruts left by the trucks on the ground, he exclaimed in shock, "Did you rob the county's granary? Where did you get so much grain?"

Upon receiving Chen Jiang's notification, Chen He subconsciously assumed that Chen Dao, like before, would only bring back a few thousand kilograms of grain at most...
