While Yang Yi was lost in thought, the villagers and exiles relaxed.
However, they were all very puzzled.
Why are there frequent lightning and thunder outside the village, and sometimes even towering flames?
Could it be that Heaven couldn't bear to see these assassins attacking the War King, so...?
The villagers were puzzled, and they began to ask Ouyang Yuqing, "War King, weren't you struck by lightning or burned during the fight?"
Were all those assassins who carried out night raids struck dead by lightning?
The couple's lips twitched upon hearing this, especially Ouyang Yuqing's.
Ouyang Yuqing thought to herself: I'm not God, but some of those assassins were indeed struck by lightning.
That's what he thought, but he couldn't answer like that, so he said to the villagers and exiled prisoners, "I wasn't paying attention during the fight, maybe some were hacked to death or burned to death..."
The answer was rather perfunctory, but the villagers and exiles felt they could understand it.
After all, who can look after these things when life and death are at stake? They thought to themselves: This is perfectly normal...
Fearing that the villagers and exiled prisoners would continue to harp on the topic, Shen Yingying pretended to be hungry and thus avoided their questioning.
At this point, the village chief, with great insight, coaxed the villagers and exiles back to their homes, telling them not to disturb Ouyang Yuqing's rest.
After all, Ouyang Yuqing and the others had just fought a fierce battle and should be exhausted by now.
The villagers understood and began to evacuate, but they did not immediately return to their homes.
They gathered together and asked the village chief, "Old village chief, can we still survive in this village?"
Today you saw it for yourself; that person, in order to get rid of the War King, doesn't care about us common people at all.
I'm afraid...
With the War King gone, that person, fearing exposure, might try to kill us again...
When the old village chief heard what the villagers said, he also thought it was possible.
But they have never left the village since birth, so how can they hide now that something like this has happened?
The village chief felt a pang of sadness at this thought. He said to the villagers, "Our ancestors have lived here for generations. Where can we hide?"
One of the villagers was quite clever. He said to the old village chief, "Old village chief, isn't the War King here? We can follow the War King."
The War King is so benevolent and righteous, and he protects his people so well, why don't we follow him?
When the old village chief heard what the villagers said, he thought it was feasible.
But he was still a little reluctant to leave the village.
"this……"
Seeing the old village chief hesitate, the villager urged him on, saying, "Old village chief, even if we don't think about ourselves, we should think about our descendants."
What if that person holds a grudge and comes to slaughter our village again? Then there won't be a War King to protect us!
When the old village chief heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Yes, it doesn't matter whether I, an old man, die or not, but my descendants cannot be harmed."
So he said to the villagers, "Alright, if you're willing to follow the War King, then follow him, but we also need to ask for your consent."
If they don't agree, nothing we say will make a difference.
Upon hearing this, the villagers urged the old village chief to reconcile with Ouyang Yuqing.
The old village chief nodded in agreement...
Shen Yingying, Ouyang Yuqing, and Ge Qiang's family were sitting at a table.
The other thirteen guards, two maids, and three guards were eating at two separate tables.
Chunxi's cooking was definitely not enough for everyone, so Shen Yingying took out a lot of food from her space and shared it with everyone.
The people in the courtyard were all her own people, and she didn't shy away from these things.
These people will find out they have superpowers sooner or later anyway.
Why bother hiding it?
Ge Qiang's family was very surprised, but they were all honest and simple farmers.
After their initial surprise, they awkwardly joined Ouyang Yuqing and his wife at the dining table.
