Chapter 335 Qiao Sanguan and Qian Gouzi are ready to take action.
Qiao Sanguan and Qian Gouzi arranged everything to ensure that there would be no problems with the entire banquet process. He then breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Qian Gouzi. He then prepared to go find his brother Qian Linzi to see if the villagers who were supposed to come to greet them had arrived yet.
Qiao Sanguan was very happy that Liucao Village could help He Village to host the banquet this time. This showed that their Liucao Village was further accepted by He Village. As expected, when they went to He Village Chongshan to pick flowers, they performed well and were recognized by the Lord of Chongshan?
Now He Village is willing to hand over some important matters to Liucao Village, not to mention that He Village has produced a real blood-grudge-level trickster.
This is a great power that can bless an area with good weather and harvest, a result that many villages dream of.
A smile appeared on Qiao Sanguan's lips, which also showed that his previous choice was very correct.
"Village Chief Qiao, I didn't expect to meet you here?" Just as Qiao Sanguan was about to leave, a sarcastic voice came from behind him.
Qiao Sanguan paused, turned his head and recognized the person's identity. It turned out to be the village chief of Guan Village, a small and medium-sized force in Jinshi Qunling. He was also one of the many forces that once disliked Liucao Village.
Guan Shi saw Qiao Sanguan turn around and sneered, "Finally he climbed up after all this time."
Outside, a group of refugees were so unscrupulous after arriving at the Forbidden Stone Mountains. Now they are so lucky that they have grabbed Hecun's thigh and appear at Hecun's banquet unscrupulously?
Guanshi's eyes were filled with anger. Why?
Guan Shi also heard that this group of people had betrayed the people of He Village. According to the rules of Jinshi Qunling, those who betrayed would not even have a chance to live. They would be directly executed and no one would say anything, let alone have a chance to be reused.
It's finally here, Qiao Sanguan sighed slightly. He already knew this scene would happen when he accepted Hecun's invitation.
Qiao Sanguan not only knew the status of He Village in Jinshi Ridge, but also knew that one of the best sources of most of the small and medium-sized forces in Jinshi Ridge was to be affiliated with large forces, which means that Guan Village was one of them. As the village chief of Guan Village, Guan Village would actually be the most qualified village in Jinshi Ridge to be accepted by He Village if Liucao Village had not come.
This is exactly why Guancun has always disliked Liucao Village.
To make matters worse, the story of Liucao Village's escape from famine also spread. After all, many people knew about this matter, and someone would always let it slip.
After all, what Hecun told the outside world was that Liucao Village had met Hecun on the road to escape famine. Since they had met before, the two parties did not arrive at the Forbidden Stone Mountains at the same time, and there were several years in between. It was very strange no matter how you looked at it, so naturally more people came to inquire about it.
In this way, more people will know about what Liucao Village and Dashu Village have done in the past. Even if Qiao Sanguan says that Liucao Village is not the same village as the former Liucao Village and Dashu Village, it will be useless.
After hearing the rumors, Guan Village naturally looked down on Liucao Village even more.
Qiao Sanguan also knew Guancun's knot, but firstly, their purpose of coming to Jinshi Qunling was to rely on Hecun, and secondly, they had done nothing wrong so they did not think that there was anything wrong with their actions. The problem was that the people who betrayed their village were really just a group of people fleeing famine together.
But Liucao Village is an outsider after all, and considering that they will live in Jinshi Mountains in the future, they have given in to these villages again and again.
You can't give in now.
The smile on Qiao Sanguan's face faded slightly. Today was a big happy event for He Village, and Liucao Village, as a vassal village, could not bring shame to He Village in this regard. In just the short time he had been talking with Guan Shi, he had no idea how many eyes were watching them, both openly and covertly.
He absolutely could not embarrass himself and let Hecun think that Liucaocun was cowardly.
"Since He Village has issued an invitation, Liucao Village, as a vassal village, naturally cannot refuse." Qiao Sanguan said with a smile.
"As for why I am here, it is thanks to the trust of the elders of He Village that I have time to be busy." Qiao Sanguan first revealed his identity. Liucao Village was originally a vassal village of He Village, so it was normal for them to appear here. As for why he appeared before the banquet, it was because he, Qiao Sanguan, was invited by He Village.
"Luckily you are doing well now that you are able to attend this banquet." Qiao Sanguan had a polite smile on his face but his words were actually more touching than the last.
Guan Shi's face was as stiff as an animal skin peeled off in winter, and only the twitching corners of his mouth gave any indication that he was still alive.
Qiao Sanguan's meaning is very clear. The fact that he can now come out to entertain you people from the Forbidden Stone Mountain Village doesn't mean that he is very good at climbing in He Village, right?
This is exactly the point that Guanshi hates most about Qiao San.
The better the Liucao Village was doing, the more it hurt him. What he hated the most was Qiao Sanguan's showing off.
Qiao San looked at Guan Shi's expression but felt very bored in his heart. He already knew that He Village actually had no plan to find vassals in Jinshi Mountains. It might have been the case before, but after the small and medium-sized forces in Jinshi Mountains knew their sphere of influence and still did not visit them, the elders of He Village cancelled this plan.
An overly timid vassal is inconsistent with the style of Hecun, who is strong in fighting and fearless.
In other words, Guan Village and even other villages had no chance from the beginning.
It's useless for Guanshi to act violently in front of him now. Even if Liucao Village is gone, it can't be the village of Jinshi Qunling. He Village should either not become a vassal or go outside to find a new village that suits its taste.
In this case, Guan Shi is even more pitiful now. He is just a chess piece used by the people behind the scenes to explore the way forward.
Of course, Qiao Sanguan had no sympathy for Guanshi. After all, although the Forbidden Stone Mountains were dangerous, there were still many places where people could live, and the strange forces were not too scarce. In addition, the two top forces in the Forbidden Stone Mountains, He Village and Huoshan Village, were not big and ruthless villages, so the small forces in the Forbidden Stone Mountains could still live a comfortable life.
Qiao Sanguan knew very well that if he had not made an agreement with Village Chief Qian, the Liucao Village would have been in ruins by now, and the life in Guan Village would have been beyond their reach. That was why Qiao Sanguan had always been grateful for the kindness of the people in He Village.
They, the Willow Grass Village, have no right to show mercy to other villages.
Qiao San looked at Guan Shi with a very calm gaze. Seeing that Guan Shi had no intention of continuing to speak, he nodded as a polite greeting, and then turned and left. He had a lot of things to do next and couldn't delay.
The banquet was still lively and bustling.
During the banquet, everyone's eyes were still focused on the two people who had just talked.
"This Liucao village chief is quite interesting. What he said just now actually made Guanshi retreat step by step, and he had no power to fight back at all." In the dark, there was a person in power of a medium-sized force in Jinshi Mountains who was watching the whole conversation. He was the village chief of Hongcao Village. At first glance, he looked like a strong and cheerful man. He was amazed after watching the whole conversation.
Opposite the village chief of Hongcao Village is an old man named Wen with white hair.
She coughed lightly and said, "He was able to remain calm amidst so many eyes and made no mistakes. This is a skill in itself. Hecun is really good at judging people. Although the villagers of Liucao Village are not particularly outstanding, the village chief is indeed a talent. A vassal position in exchange for a capable chief is a very cost-effective deal."
No one could find fault with Qiao Sanguan's reply just now. Even Guanshi himself could only say that this guy was irritating and disgusting but not murderous. This showed how strong his way of dealing with people was.
"Forget it, since everything in He Village can be handled, then we have nothing to worry about. We can just enjoy this banquet quietly." The hearty man also agreed with Lao Wen's statement. His smile became even more hearty. Originally, they were already a village in Jinshiqunling. If they wanted to leave, they would have left long ago. Those who stayed here just wanted to live in peace and stability.
The reason these people came to He Village, besides attending the banquet, was to find out what had recently entered the Forbidden Stone Ridge.
Guan Shi is not usually like this. Although he is somewhat resentful towards Liucao Village, it is just complicated emotions. He only says it verbally, but this action is really nothing in this area. He rarely takes the initiative to ask for scolding.
There is only one possibility, that is, something happened to him.
The cheerful man had a meaningful expression on his face. They in Jinshi Mountain Range did not welcome the foreign bugs at all. If it were not for the fact that the bugs were targeting He Village and He Village had a very special status in Jinshi Mountain Range, and if He Village had not revealed its specific intentions, these forces would not have dared to take action first, and the two little bugs would have been crushed to death long ago.
As if Old Wen didn't notice the deep meaning in the cheerful and cheerful Han's tone, he said calmly: "I don't know what the character of that Chongshan Lord is like?"
"I haven't heard of it before." The cheerful man sighed casually and quickly changed the subject like a nobody. He said, "But I just learned about the strange food at the banquet. Every serving is a good thing. You can't buy it from the caravans outside."
"I've heard a long time ago that many caravans are very much yearning for He Village and hope to get a share of one or two strange plants from them. This will also bring many benefits to our Forbidden Stone Ridge. Now I see that it is true." Old Wen also agreed with his friend's words and said with a smile.
This time they brought along the talented younger generations in the village. All the banquets in He Village were free, and the food alone was enough for them to make a lot of money.
The conversation among the few people was quickly drowned out by other topics.
When the banquet was about to begin, Ye Lu and He Sijiu were also talking behind Xiaoshan. Ye Lu had a blank expression on his face and seemed to have everything planned out for him.
Only Fourth Uncle He sensed that something was wrong with his nephew.
"..." Fourth Uncle He looked a little speechless. He didn't understand what his nephew was so nervous about. No one in the entire banquet could beat him. Why should he be nervous?
Judging from the past, Lu Wazi doesn't have that kind of personality.
"Don't be nervous." Uncle He sighed slightly. There was nothing he could do since this was his nephew. He Si could only give in and speak to comfort him.
He Si's tone was as gentle as possible, but it was inconsistent with his usually cold and hard personality. Even at his gentlest, he was still much colder than an ordinary person.
Such a tone is rare.
If He Qi saw his brother like this, he would be horrified as to whether his brother was possessed by a ghost. Just think about it, no ghost can possess a Qingyou-level ghost silently under the nose of a Blood Grudge-level ghost.
Ye Lu had a blank expression on his face: "I'm not nervous."
Haha, you used to be able to laugh, even when you were pretending to laugh. Fourth Uncle He laughed in his heart and was very considerate not to expose his nephew.
"We'll be going up later, just say a few words and it will be done." Fourth Uncle He was very considerate and gave Ye Lu a solution.
Ye Lu did not expect that he would feel nervous. He was obviously very cold towards strangers and it was impossible for him to have any emotional fluctuations because of other people's gazes. Ye Lu attributed his current emotions to the Blood Grudge Banquet.
After all, a normal person would not be willing to announce his or her progress, breakthrough, or promotion to the world and still appear calm.
Ye Lu estimated that there were not many evil spirits outside the Forbidden Stone Ridge. Who said that high-level evil spirits had no sense of shame? Even if they held such a banquet, they would find other excuses. They were too grown-ups.
At least among the Blood Grudge-level tricksters that Ye Lu knew, the Swordsman had never held such a banquet. This big guy just spread some news.
