Chapter 397 Left in disgrace

It’s the opposite, it’s all the opposite!

The master on horseback stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence. He did not expect that those damn militiamen actually dared to stop them, nor did he expect that the government officials he brought with him were no match for those militiamen.

As soon as they made contact, the government officials on their side were knocked to the ground one after another. Several people led by the militia team on the opposite side acted extremely fiercely. The government officials on their side could not survive three rounds in their hands. The others Although the individual combat effectiveness of the militiamen was not as good as that of the few at the front, they cooperated tacitly, advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, and in groups of two or three, they also beat the government officials on their side, unable to fight back.

Is this still a militia?

When did the militia become so powerful? Even if this combat power is compared with the regular army of the imperial court, it is not much different, especially those at the front. The master feels that even if they join the regular army, they will definitely be able to gain a foothold.

When the master was shocked and dazed, all the government officials he had brought with him had been knocked to the ground. The government officials who had just been riding on their horses to show off their power and did not pay attention to the militiamen could only lie down at this time. Just crying in pain on the ground.

"Master?" After the battle, Niu Er stepped back and Wang Bing stepped forward.

Their purpose is to guard the Hermit Village and prevent others from entering casually, rather than causing trouble for Wu Fan. Therefore, they have a measured approach and do not intend to kill them all. They just knock down the government officials and let them know that they are protecting the village. Determination and strength.

If they really fight to the death with these people, then it is very likely that the county magistrate will be angered. At that time, the county magistrate will send troops from the county to attack the hermit village. Without Wu Fan, they really can't defend it.

"Ah?!" The master, who was still in a daze, suddenly saw Wang Bing coming forward and subconsciously wanted to step back. However, he forgot that he was still on the horse. As soon as he avoided it, he fell off the horse. Come down and fall heavily to the ground.

"Hahaha."

The embarrassed look of the master immediately made the militiamen of Hermit Village burst into laughter. Niu Er laughed especially loudly, with such a loud voice that everyone in the village seemed to be able to hear it.

This laughter also made the master's face turn red.

"Master, are you okay?" Wang Bing stepped forward and asked.

"What are you going to do?" The master saw Wang Bing approaching and took two nervous steps back again: "I'm warning you, I am the master of Qingyuan City County Government. If you kill me, you will all become felons of the imperial court! Yes To be beheaded."

The master usually has a way of flattering others, but now facing danger, he has no composure at all.

"Master, we won't kill you, and we won't kill them either." Wang Bing pointed to the government officials on the ground and said, "We are just following your instructions and do not allow anyone to enter the village. As long as you do not enter the village, we will not kill you." , then of course nothing will happen.”

Although Wang Bing didn't say harsh words, the meaning behind his words was very obvious. The master understood it immediately: if they don't enter the village, nothing will happen to them, but if they insist on entering the village, they will suffer. , although he will not be killed, he will still have to suffer the pain of his flesh and blood, just like he did just now.

What to do now?

Continue to forcefully enter the village, or retreat?

The master didn't think about it for long before he made his decision. He turned around and said to the government officials: "Let's go!"

After saying that, he hurriedly climbed onto the horse and rode away without looking back.

When the other government officials saw the master retreating, they endured the pain and mounted their horses to leave.

The master was naturally unhappy and unwilling to leave in such a dejected manner, but he knew that this was his only choice. If he chose to continue to force his way into the Hermit Village, what was waiting for them would be those in the Hermit Village. The strong obstruction of the militiamen has just been proved by the facts. The government officials he brought are no match for the militiamen at all. If they continue to force their way in, there will be no other consequences for them except being beaten up again.

"Oh..."

Seeing the previously powerful government officials leaving in despair, the militiamen in Hermitage Village cheered loudly. It seemed that the government officials they did not dare to provoke in the past were just that.

Niu Er was also cheering. In the fight just now, he was the fastest and most ruthless, and he was also the happiest now.

"Niu Er, don't be careless. I don't think those people will give up easily. You have to arrange patrols near the village. When you left, I told you that nothing should happen to the village. We can't let you down." Wang Bing came to Niu Er and said .

"Don't worry, as long as I, Niu Er, am here, I will never let those bastards step into the village!" Niu Er said confidently.

Wang Bing nodded and was about to return to the village, but Niu Er stopped him.

"Wang Bing, I saw you acting cowardly towards those people before, and I felt unhappy. I didn't expect that after the fight, you became ruthless." Niu Er said to Wang Bing.

In the fight just now, Wang Bing was the one who fought the most aggressively and brutally besides Niu Er.

"I'm not being a coward. It's called courtesy before fighting." Wang Bing said speechlessly: "It's best if there is no conflict. If it happens, I won't be polite to them. Just like the adults have told us, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble. However, There’s no need to be afraid of them.”

"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense. Anyway, I like to solve problems with my fists." Niu Er said, waving his huge fist.

Wang Bing shook his head and didn't say much to Niu Er. They had known each other for a while, so they naturally knew what kind of person Niu Er was.

On the other side, the master returned to the county government with a group of yamen runners in a panic, and then went directly to see County Magistrate Guo.

"You're back? How did things go?" County Magistrate Guo asked impatiently after seeing the master.

County Magistrate Guo still had great expectations for the pets on the back mountain of the Hermit Village, because the previous gift-giving incident had made His Majesty the Emperor and the Seventh Princess feel bad about him. If he didn't remedy it in time, then his career would be greatly affected, and it was not impossible for him to waste his whole life as a county magistrate.

"My Lord, I am incompetent and failed to do what you asked me to do." The master said with a guilty and ashamed expression.

"What's the matter? It shouldn't be too difficult to catch a pet on the mountain, but you can't do it well?" County Magistrate Guo frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard that the master didn't catch the pet.

"My Lord, I was stopped before I even went up the mountain." The lawyer said, "The yamen runners who went with me were also beaten."

"Huh? What happened?" County Magistrate Guo raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something in the lawyer's words.

The lawyer quickly told him about his trip to the Hermit Village.
