Chapter 703 Reject, Wushang Village Patriarch!
Chapter 703
"Master Hou, I didn't expect you to come here. I'm sorry for being so disrespectful. In Xiawujiumei, Tim is the elder of Wushang Village. I'm afraid there is a little misunderstanding about this matter. The villagers in our village and Lord Hou's My subordinates, some small conflicts occurred. We have repeatedly dissuaded them before, but Hou Ye's subordinates refused to listen to the advice and insisted on breaking into the village, so we did it as a last resort."
"But even so, we have already shown mercy. Lord Hou's subordinates are temporarily locked up in the village, and we have not taken action. I will ask them to hand over all of Lord Hou's subordinates in a while."
The person who spoke was an old man in his seventies or eighties, with gray temples and silver hair, but he was very energetic. His expression is serious, and when he speaks, he has a sense of authority. It is obvious that he has an extraordinary status in the village.
Hearing these words, Wang Chong didn't speak yet, but Li Siye behind him let out a long sigh of relief.
In the past few days, this was the first time he had heard of the whereabouts of those disappeared subordinates.
"Master Hou, these people are very powerful. If I hadn't sacrificed the Uzi steel long sword, I would have been captured by them. Master Hou must not be careless!"
Li Siye suddenly stepped forward at this moment, and whispered in Wang Chong's ear.
"I know, you should have a good rest first."
Wang Chong didn't turn his head back, and said calmly.
"Old man, I don't have any malicious intentions. Now that the imperial court is in trouble, and the flames are everywhere, it is time to use troops. The so-called rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility. Wushang people are brave and good at fighting, and I happen to be building a city in Wushang, so I specially dispatched troops Come down to Wushang to recruit brave men."
"If you can defend the frontiers and protect the people of Middle-earth China, it will be a contribution to the country and the community. I believe it will be a glorious thing for the people of Wushang."
Wang Chong went straight to the point, directly explaining his purpose.
If you want to subdue Wushang people, using deceit or conspiracy methods will only be self-defeating, it is better to directly explain your intentions. In fact, with the development of the matter now, the people in Wushang probably already understood his reason for coming.
At this time, he was secretive, but he was despised.
Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Chong's words, Wu Jiumei and a group of elders from Wushang Village looked as expected, obviously anticipating his coming.
"It is really an honor for us Wushang Villagers to be favored by Lord Hou.
It's just that our Wushang Village has always been isolated from the outside world, and we are used to peace, so I am afraid it is not suitable for fighting. "
Wu Jiumei said, rejecting Wang Chong's request without even thinking about it:
"Besides, we, Wushang, are all mountain peasants with limited abilities. How can we help Lord Hou to conquer the world? I'm afraid that he has failed His high hopes. Lord Hou should hire another expert. The world is so big, there must be someone better than us." Wushangren is more in line with Lord Hou's vision."
"That's right, Master Hou should hire someone else!"
Several other elders also echoed.
Wushang Village has lived a peaceful life in the mountain of refuge for nearly a thousand years. This has become a tradition that no one can break. How can it be easily changed because of Wang Chong's few words?
"The elder is too modest. If even Wushang people have limited ability, I am afraid that there will be no capable people in the world. These subordinates of mine are all capable of fighting, and they can be used as elites on the battlefield. In Shangcun, he was captured by the warriors in the village after just meeting him, Wushangren is definitely the strongest warrior in the world!"
"If you can get help from Wu Shangren, Datang will definitely be able to appease the frontiers, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, and it will be able to protect more people from the disturbance of war. Moreover, the imperial court has always treated warriors who can fight for the country well. I can also Promise elders, as long as Wushang Village can respond to the recruitment, I can give Wushang Village a lot of gold, silver and resource rewards."
Wang Chong said sincerely.
With the current influence and power of the Wang family, as long as Wang Chong is willing, he can definitely give Wushang Village unimaginable wealth, status and reputation.
On the opposite side, the expressions of Wu Jiumei and other elders in the village suddenly turned bright. If Wang Chong spoke a little harder, they could refuse without hesitation. It was the admiration and praise for the people of Wushang Village, which made everyone speechless and speechless.
And the most terrible thing is that these subordinates of Wang Chong were indeed injured by the villagers.
Wu Jiumei didn't expect that these sergeants lying on the ground turned out to be the elite of the army.
"this……"
Wu Jiumei and several elders looked at each other, hesitantly, unable to speak for a while.
"The young man is eloquent, and the old man admires it, but I advise Lord Hou not to waste his words and efforts in vain!"
It was too late, but soon, when all the elders were stumped by Wang Chong, a voice suddenly came from a stone house deep in Wushang Village.
"This is!!"
Wang Chong's eyelids twitched, and something was aroused by this familiar voice. When fighting Huang Botian outside the village before, it was this voice that spoke and let him in.
But when he actually got to the village, Wang Chong didn't hear it.
"Patriarch!"
While Wang Chong was thinking, he suddenly heard Wu Jiumei's respectful voice. An elder from Wushang Village turned their heads one after another, facing the same direction, bent down, showing a tame and respectful look.
Wang Chong's heart moved, and he raised his head to look in that direction. He saw a white-haired old man dressed in hemp cloth and slightly hunchbacked, leaning on a wisteria cane, walking slowly from the stone house dozens of feet away. come out.
At first, Wang Chong didn't pay much attention to it, but after only one glance, Wang Chong couldn't help his eyelids twitching. At the stone house, the white-haired old man's steps were extremely slow, but each step was stronger and stronger, giving people a very strong sense of impact.
His footsteps did not seem to be on the ground, but on the entire space, stepping into everyone's heart, giving people an unfathomable and unrivaled feeling.
Moreover, at such a close distance, even if Wang Chong looked closely, he still couldn't fail to see his face clearly. The white-haired old man always gave people the impression that he was neither too far nor too close, not too blurry, but there was no way to look too carefully. .
What made Wang Chong most afraid was that he couldn't feel his aura at all, as if the old man on the opposite side was just a shadow and didn't exist at all.
This made Wang Chong feel awe-inspiring.
It would be fine if he was just an ordinary person, but the current Wang Chong has already broken through to the Emperor Martial Realm, and has also learned the Great Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Good Fortune Kung Fu. Almost no fighters of the same level are his opponents.
Even a master like Huang Botian, General Shi's cultivation was superb, and he was powerless in front of Wang Chong, and he was completely teased by him.
But now, in the face of an ordinary-looking white-haired old man, Wang Chong couldn't even feel his breath, which was simply unbelievable.
"Holy Martial Realm!"
Wang Chong's pupils shrank, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind. He is no stranger to this feeling. Wang Chong has also felt it in Zhang Chou Jianqiong, Huo Shu Gui Cang, Duan Gequan and other general-level masters.
And as the former Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, the top-level Saint Martial Realm powerhouse, Wang Chong is very familiar with this kind of aura of the same level.
"How can this be?"
At this moment, Wang Chong's heart was overwhelmed. He never imagined that in this small village of Wushang, there was actually a powerhouse at the level of an imperial general hidden.
Any country, any force, if it has a general-level powerhouse, its influence and status will inevitably increase significantly, and it will suddenly become very important among the countries.
And there is such a strong person hidden in Wushang Village, which is definitely a huge shock to Wang Chong.
At this moment, Wang Chong suddenly understood why those foreign invaders suffered such great trauma when they broke into Wushang Village.
A strong man at the level of an imperial general led several strong men at the holy martial level, as well as a large number of masters at the imperial martial level, as well as 50,000 to 60,000 villagers at the true martial level and Xuanwu level... the strength of Wushang Village has already It is equivalent to a regular army with astonishing strength, and it is still at the level of a small protectorate.
This is the first time Wang Chong has seen the true background of Wushang Village.
However, Wang Chong still felt a bit of disharmony. Although the white-haired old man tried his best to hide it, Wang Chong still felt a bit of abnormal disorder from him.
"It seems that even he has not escaped that fate."
What Wang Chong thought of, he immediately understood.
"Old man, I'm sorry."
Facing the patriarch of Wushang Village, Wang Chong raised his hands and saluted respectfully. The elders are respected, no matter what, the other party's age is equivalent to his grandfather.
Seeing Wang Chong's respectful expression, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the white-haired old man, but there was no relaxation in the slightest on his old and serious face.
"Young Master, at such a young age, you can become a king and be a prince. It is really impressive. However, the state has state laws, the family has family rules, and Wushang Village has its own rules. All Wushang Villagers must not leave easily. In the village, it is a rule set by the ancestors to get involved in the disputes of the outside world without authorization. You still don't need to waste your time, please go back!"
The white-haired old man said with a serious expression, walking towards the crowd while talking.
His footsteps seemed to be slow but fast. When he spoke the first sentence, he was still several dozen feet away, but after he finished speaking, he was no more than ten feet away from Wang Chong and the others.
"Old sir..."
"Master Hou, please come back!"
The white-haired old man looked staid, and said without doubt. As soon as his voice fell, he let go of one palm and turned towards the direction outside the village.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the atmosphere froze, and even the temperature dropped to the extreme. The mission of enforcing a sudden failure was a complete failure. Behind him, Gao Feng, Nie Yan and others looked angry, and even Li Siye couldn't help frowning slightly.
