"Hey~~"
Lu You looked at the old witch's head beneath its sparse, yellow-white hair, and the leftover vegetable leaves still clinging to her black, yellow teeth. He couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the head of the world's number one village, he can truly endure the unbearable. But for the head to do such an extraordinary thing, he must have gained something extraordinary. We can't compare to that, we can't."
Everyone bowed in unison: "Indeed, it is worthy of being the number one village in the world."
Ahem...
Lu You asked, clearing his throat: "Then the only one left is the Taoist who makes medicine?"
Soon, the Taoist priest appeared with the holy water. In full view of the crowd, he dropped a drop onto a broken pot. Soon, bubbles began to form, and the holy water gradually turned from transparent to green, a phenomenon that everyone found quite miraculous. When the bubbles stopped forming, Lu You poked the pot with chopsticks, and surprisingly, it pierced through. Lu You's pupils widened, and he stared at the Taoist priest, "What's your name? How much of this holy water do you have left?"
The Taoist priest met Lu You's red eyes and panicked. He quickly crawled to the ground and replied, "In reply to your Majesty, I am Wang Maoduan, originally a Taoist priest at Youxian Temple. I was kidnapped by the headmaster and taken to the mountain. This holy water was made when I was refining elixirs in the temple. This is just a small bottle. Everything in the temple was taken away by the headmaster, and the elixirs were melted to make weapons. I really can't make this holy water right now."
"Hmph, I think you can do it, but you're probably holding a grudge because your boss robbed your temple. Otherwise, how could you have been up in the mountains for so many years without even preparing a furnace? Come, pass on my order. Find this Taoist priest and everyone else who went up the mountain with him, tie them up, and take them to jail. We'll come after him after we win this battle."
After that, Lu You winked, and Zhang Jinnan hurriedly left with the guards. Lu You looked at the leader of Huwei Village and said, "Is this how I handle it, Huwei leader, okay with that?"
Nonsense, you have already captured the person, what else can you say?
Seeing that the strategies of the leaders were useless, Lu You could only propose his own plan: Qinghe County had built three new villages south of Jinjiang. These three villages had just been built and their defenses were relatively weak. Among them, Yuanqiang Village was the southernmost and was located on a flat land between the mountains. There were high mountains and dense forests on both sides, and there were only two ways in and out. At that time, the leader Huwei would be the leader and the leader Cao would be the deputy. They would bluff and attack Yuanqiang Village, not for a fight, but just to scare people away and lure the main force of Qinghe to come. After the main force of Qinghe entered the village, Lu You would lead the leader of the No. 1 Village in the World to go around and block their way in, and the Tiger King would lead the other leaders to block their way out.
"Our eighteen-strong coalition forces alone have nine thousand combat troops. Adding in the civilians, we can easily gather an army of thirty thousand. Even if we don't fight, we can surround and kill the Qinghe County troops in the village. By then, whether it's the other two villages or Qinghe County, they will all be ours. I, Qitian Village, swear hereby that if anyone wants to rush into the village and fight, we will be the first to do so! With an army of thirty thousand, as long as we unite, there is no battle we cannot win!"
Everyone bowed in unison, "King Zhentian is so righteous. We will obey his military orders!"
