Chapter 733 is about to happen!
The carriage drove into the entrance of a village. Nan Yan also sat up and looked out the window. She happened to see the archway gate at the entrance of the village. There were four words written on it:
Jufu Village.
"Fu" has been the name for the stone base under the stele since ancient times. The name of this village is Jufu Village, which is quite realistic.
Moreover, although I had heard Gu Tingqiu say before that this was almost a deserted village, the road was very large, spacious and flat.
Come to think of it.
Since the people in this village specialize in carving stone tablets, a lot of stone must be transported into the village, and people who buy stone tablets must also transport them out. The road naturally has to be wide and flat, otherwise it will be difficult for horse-drawn carriages or ox-drawn carts to pass.
So, their carriage passed through the archway gate smoothly.
Nan Yan looked out and found that there were many stone tablets standing on both sides of the road.
Although it was daytime, seeing this scene still made me break out in a cold sweat. After a closer look, I found that most of them were broken tablets, and some stones were also placed on the roadside.
It must have been stored for too long, and exposed to wind and sun, causing it to corrode severely.
Looking further ahead, you will see Jufu Village.
This village is built on the mountain. From a distance, you can see a big mountain standing in front of you. At the foot of the mountain, there are some simple houses scattered around.
It's very quiet.
The only sounds on the road were the passing of carriage wheels and the sound of horse hooves, which could be heard from far away. The further in we went, the more we saw soldiers and workers guarding the sides of the road.
As soon as they saw their team arriving, they all came forward and saluted.
Then the carriage stopped on the main road leading to the village.
Zhu Feng asked, "What's going on?"
Ye Zheng rode his horse to the side of the carriage, leaned over, and whispered to the window, "Your Majesty, the villagers ahead have put up a fence. Neither people nor horses can get in."
"oh?"
"Besides, those villagers are guarding the village entrance. We are worried that they will cause trouble, so the emperor should not approach it for now. Let me go over and investigate first."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
So, someone opened the car door.
Nan Yan sat beside him and looked over. She saw the wide road under her feet extending to the front. It was the entrance to the village. There were several rows of wooden fences with sharp wooden spikes facing outside.
It seems like these villagers have a hostile consciousness.
Behind the wooden fence, you can see some villagers holding chisels and hammers, which are the tools they use to make a living. They don’t even have a decent sword, and they just stare outside with gloomy faces.
But this village was protected.
Zhu Feng only took a glance and said, "With just these few people, can't we solve the problem?"
Ye Zheng said softly, "Lord Gu wasn't too willing to use force against them. It was because these villagers were too stubborn that he had no other choice but to mobilize troops from Prince Yan's Mansion in order to scare them."
“…”
"Unexpectedly, these villagers surrounded the village and wouldn't even let people in to talk."
Zhu Feng sneered.
At this moment, a tall middle-aged man was seen walking out of the village from afar.
This man had a square face, a pair of bright eyes with deep eye sockets, and a face full of stubble, but he did not look fierce, but rather exuded a sense of heaviness.
Standing in the center of the crowd, like a leader.
Sure enough, as soon as they saw him come out, the young villagers all walked over and said, "Uncle Shi."
"Uncle Shi, look, the soldiers are coming."
"They're definitely going to drive us all away. They're going to take action."
"what to do?"
"What should we do? We should fight them! We have lived here for generations. Are they going to make us lose our home just by saying one word?"
For a moment, the young people roared in anger.
At this time, the man named "Uncle Shi" raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop making noise.
He walked over slowly, took a look, and said, "They shouldn't be coming to fight us."
"How come?"
"Yes, those officers and soldiers have arrived."
“They also carried knives.”
Uncle Shi shook his head, pointed to a place far away on the road to the village entrance, and said, "Look..."
Everyone hurried to the entrance of the village and looked into the distance. The road under their feet extended into the distance. At the bend, there was a lush tree. Under the shade of the leaves, they could vaguely see a carriage parked there.
Uncle Shi said, "If you want to take action, you don't need to send a carriage."
“…”
"Soldiers all ride horses, not cars."
“…”
"The person riding in the car must be a distinguished person."
"Your Excellency?"
A young man named Aqiang said, "Noble, why would you come to our village? Even those who come to carve tombstones, even if they are nobles, always send their followers and housekeepers to our village. They all say they are afraid of being contaminated by bad luck. Humph!"
When they heard him say this, the people around him nodded in agreement.
"That's right."
"If you really think we are unlucky, then don't come!"
Everyone probably had been holding grudges for a long time, and they started to complain, becoming even less friendly towards the people coming from the front.
But the middle-aged man named Uncle Shi didn't say anything.
A pair of bright eyes just looking outside.
At this time, several soldiers ran up.
Because they had quarreled many times before and even almost got into a fight, when they saw someone coming, the young people immediately picked up whatever was at hand and faced outside.
"What are you going to do?"
The soldiers said, "Open the fence quickly!"
“Why should we open it?”
"Hmph, you are such a fool! You still dare to be stubborn even when death is imminent. Today, I will make sure that each of you dies without a burial place!"
When the villagers heard this, they were all furious and immediately rushed over: "How dare you talk nonsense!"
"We just won't move!"
"Kill us all if you can!"
Seeing their aggressive demeanor, several soldiers immediately became enraged and immediately waved to their companions, "Come here quickly! These unruly people are trying to rebel. Execute them right here!"
When the soldiers behind heard this, they immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
When the villagers saw them draw their swords, the women and children who had been hiding in the houses screamed in fear, and the young men immediately picked up wooden sticks and pliers and rushed forward.
"Fight them!"
At this moment, a fierce battle is about to break out!
Just then, footsteps were heard from afar.
Very heavy, but very steady, approaching step by step.
The soldiers who were originally shouting and yelling suddenly became quiet when they heard the footsteps and looked back.
And Uncle Shi also raised his hand towards the villagers.
They also calmed down.
Zhu Feng took Ye Zheng and slowly walked to the village entrance.
He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and although his identity was not revealed, his arrogant and oppressive aura made people around him look at him involuntarily, not even daring to breathe.
