Chapter 176 Seeking a Wise Ruler



Ouyang Yuqing saw that everyone had arrived, so why was she leaving?

So he said to Yin, "Add a chair!"

After he finished speaking to Yin Yi, he turned to the old village chief and said, "Old village chief, let's sit down and talk while we eat."

Upon hearing this, the old village chief quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I won't eat here."

I have come to seek permission from the King of the Northern Desert.

Upon hearing the old village chief's words, Ouyang Yuqing said, "Let's eat and chat at the same time, it won't take long."

But in his heart he thought, "If you're all so polite, how will my wife get any food?"

Upon hearing Ouyang Yuqing's long speech, the old village chief quickly said, "King of the Northern Desert, I cannot stay here for a meal; the villagers are still waiting for me outside."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yuqing asked, "Oh? What's the rush?"

When asked, the village chief explained, "It's like this: our Gejia Village wants to follow the King of the Northern Desert to develop in the desert. I wonder if you could take our whole village with you?"

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Ouyang Yuqing pondered the whole story.

Then he said to the old village chief, "Old village chief, sit down and let's talk about this slowly."

As for the villagers, how about I ask him to inform them and tell them to go home and wait for news?

Upon hearing this, the old village chief thought to himself: They've urged me so many times; it would be ungrateful of me not to sit down.

So he nodded and said, "Alright, this old man will shamelessly bluff his way in."

Ouyang Yuqing moved the chair around so that the old village chief could sit down.

Then he instructed Yin Yi to inform the villagers.

Shen Yingying watched Ouyang Yuqing and the others talking, then turned to shield them and took out two bottles of Moutai from her spatial storage, handing them to Ouyang Yuqing and saying, "Yuqing, this is Moutai. It tastes good. You should try it."

How can there be wine without wine glasses?

Shen Yingying could only make an excuse to go to the kitchen and take out about ten small ceramic cups and wine glasses from her space.

The wine glasses were brought over, and she filled the glasses for all the men at the table.

The old village chief had never drunk Moutai, nor did he know whether it was good or bad, but when he saw the ceramic wine cup, he took a liking to it.

He thought to himself: As expected of the War King, the ceramic craftsmanship of this wine cup is too exquisite.

He liked it, and after playing with the ceramic cup for a while, he said to Ouyang Yuqing, "King of the Northern Desert, to be honest, the villagers feel it's unsafe to stay here. They want to seek refuge with you, I wonder...?"

Ouyang Yuqing had already guessed the reason from what the old village chief said before he sat down.

He thought to himself that the desert needed people for development, and these people were saved by him.

Once in the desert, these people are highly loyal to him, so why not do it?! So he said to the old village chief, "Old village chief, I understand. Since everyone is willing to follow me to the desert to develop, I can't treat them unfairly."

I'll cover all your expenses for the trip to the desert. As for getting to the desert...

Upon hearing this, the old village chief thought to himself: "The King of the Northern Desert is benevolent; he can't bear to see the villagers suffering in poverty..."

They've chosen a wise ruler by following the King of the Northern Desert.

Unlike that tyrannical ruler who couldn't distinguish right from wrong and indiscriminately slaughtered people for his own power.

After a moment of introspection, the old village chief said to Ouyang Yuqing, "King of the Northern Desert, we shouldn't let you spend money, but the villagers are indeed short of funds..."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yuqing said to the old village chief, "Old village chief, what's this about spending money?"

Since the villagers have followed me, they are my subjects.

Isn't it my duty to care for my own people?

Besides, today's massacre was started because of me. I can't just pretend nothing happened and walk away, can I?

Hearing Ouyang Yuqing's words, the old village chief became even more determined.

He thought to himself: With such a wise ruler, their Gejia Village will surely prosper.
