People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 949: Knights, Politicians, and Tea

When Qi Yan brought Fang Xiaoshi back to the banquet, they both clearly felt that the atmosphere had become more lively.

Qi Yan came to Chen's side and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

"It's just barely acceptable." Chen said indifferently, "Because of the hunter's plea, the quota will not be cancelled, but it will not be given directly to Moushan Village. They need to continue bidding with other villages."

"Haha, with this arrangement, Wei Lao Er is really going to cause trouble." Qi Yan chuckled.

Chen immediately turned his head and asked, "What did you see?"

Qi Yan did not answer, but instead pushed Fang Xiaoshi beside him and instructed:

"You come over too."

Fang Xiaoshi was a little dumbfounded, but when he saw Qi Yan's encouraging eyes, he still walked towards Wei Yanwu hesitantly.

The village chief and the hunter were talking to Wei Yanwu. When they saw Fang Xiaoshi, they reacted differently.

The village chief smiled kindly and waved:

"Come quickly, Xiaoshi, say hello to Lord Wei and thank him for sending you back personally."

The hunter said solemnly, "Behave yourself, come and thank Lord Wei, and stop talking nonsense like a child."

Wei Yanwu smiled without saying anything and looked at Fang Xiaoshi quietly.

Feeling the gazes of the three people, no, Fang Xiaoshi could clearly feel that everyone's eyes at this banquet were focused on him.

There was jealousy, hope, and tension in these eyes, but Fang Xiaoshi didn't care. He only cared about a warning look.

That look came from his father.

Fang Xiaoshi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

Children's thoughts are written on their faces most of the time. When Fang Xiaoshi's expression was seen by everyone at the banquet, the villagers couldn't help but show their joy.

Only the hunter who knew Fang Xiaoshi best felt a jolt in his heart.

Fang Xiaoshi stood there in pain, doing nothing and saying nothing. As his name suggests, he was as stubborn as a stone.

"Xiao Shi, speak!" the hunter said in a deep voice.

"... Dad, the village chief." Fang Xiaoshi gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want me to beg for mercy? Do you want Wei Yanwu to directly allocate the quota to Moushan Village?"

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became awkward.

The village chief laughed dryly and waved his hands repeatedly: "What are you talking about, kid? I just want you to thank Lord Wei for sending you home."

"Okay, then I will thank him, even though going home is not my intention."

Fang Xiaoshi looked up at Wei Yanwu who was sitting in front of him, and said firmly: "But things like quotas should be fairly competed for. Why should they become something you can arbitrarily distribute because of these messy things?

Moushan Village needs subsidies for repairing the highway, but don’t other villages nearby need them? I support the decision of fair competition.”

There was dead silence at the banquet.

Only Chen couldn't help but smile: "This kid is not bad."

Qi Yan swallowed the cake in his mouth, licked his fingers, and said softly:

“It’s a pity that he is not Officer Chen from Longmen, he is just a small stone in the mountains.

And do you think that if Wei Lao Er wants to give something away, Fang Xiaoshi can refuse it if he wants to?"

List:?

Without waiting for Chen to ask further questions, Wei Yanwu, who was sitting at the main seat at the banquet, spoke.

"This child is ambitious." Wei Yanwu praised with a smile, "Originally I was hesitant about the quota for building the highway, but it is rare, very rare for Moushan Village to raise a child like Fang Xiaoshi who is full of justice.

It's just a matter of quota. After I leave tomorrow, I will write a letter to Yumen and ask them to add an extra quota to this area as a reward for Fang Xiaoshi."

As Wei Yanwu finished speaking, the banquet fell silent for a moment, and then unprecedented enthusiasm broke out.

The atmosphere reached its peak in the blink of an eye, people clinked glasses with joy, and the village chief laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on his face.

A relieved smile finally showed on the hunter's thin face, and his back bent even more as he looked at the village chief and Fang Xiaoshi.

Wei Yanwu seemed to have nothing to do with the excitement and took a sip from the teacup.

Then he turned his face away, spat out the tea foam, and muttered in a low voice:

"What a rubbish tea. When will Yan Country be able to drink edible tea everywhere? I don't ask for it to be very good, just not so hard to swallow as this."

Qi Yan walked through the crowd and came to Wei Yanwu, just in time to hear his muttering.

"A knight who travels the world with a sword in his hand doesn't know how to grow tea." Qi Yan said with a smile.

“So I stopped being one a long time ago.”

“Neither do politicians.”

"But politicians can make the tea grown have a chance to enter the homes of ordinary people."

"This is harder than a knight growing tea."

"So I'll leave this task to the biggest politician in the court."

Qi Yan chuckled and said nothing more.

The banquet did not last long. After Qi Yan and others had eaten and drunk their fill, the crowd soon dispersed after being taken to rest by the people arranged by the village chief.

The night was uneventful, and the next morning Qi Yan was dragged out of bed by Wei Yanwu.

Then the two men appeared in front of everyone, one yawning and the other with a black eye.

Wei Yanwu calmly waved his hand to interrupt the village chief's concern, urged everyone to get in the car quickly, and almost fled out of the village under the village chief's curious gaze.

The SUV was traveling on the bumpy dirt road outside Moushan Village. Qi Yan was drowsy in the car, while Chen and Qiu Bai were looking at the scenery outside the window in silence.

Both girls had mixed feelings.

After seeing the attitudes of the villagers in Moushan Village yesterday, they were all dissatisfied. Maybe there were some differences in their attitudes, but the two had never doubted whether Qi Yan and Wei Yanwu could handle the problems of this village.

But everything was too bland. There was no minor punishment or severe admonition, no remorse with tears of gratitude, and even no sword-drawing and roaring out of injustice.

The village was like this before the group came, and it seemed to have become better before they left, but this improvement seemed so unreal.

The off-road vehicle crawled silently on the hillside, crossed the top of the hill with difficulty, started to go down, and then suddenly stopped.

"Get out of the car." Wei Yanwu said.

While Chen was still confused, Qi Yan, who was drowsy just now, had already opened the car door and jumped out, then turned around and called the three girls to join him.

Although Chen was puzzled, he still got out of the car with Qiu Bai and Qi Lin.

Wei Yanwu put his arm on the car window and asked Qi Yan:

"How long do you think it will take?"

"About three days."

"Time is quite tight, the shadow guards have something to do."

"It's not you who's busy, the Shadow Guard is busy. Why are you worried?"

"Is it impossible for me to be sympathetic to my subordinates?"

"During the Qiecheng incident, how is the employee who was asked to work overtime by the black-hearted entrepreneur and was accidentally injured by the Chixiao sword energy these days?"

"…Time is running out, let's not talk about it for now!"

……

……

Yumen, Zuo Le was forcibly awakened early in the morning by someone knocking on his bedroom door.

He opened the door sleepily and was startled when he saw the person outside: "Lin Qingyan?!"

Jingzhe outside the door looked unfriendly and stared at Zuo Le.

Facing Jingzhe's gaze, Zuo Le was immediately frightened out of his sleepiness. He shrank his neck and changed his words honestly:

"Aunt, why are you here?"

"Where is Qi Yan?" Jingzhe asked straight to the point.

"He's been gone for a while. If you want to look for him, it's too late." Zuo Le smiled bitterly.

"This guy, as expected, is like a stray dog ​​that can't be caught once he goes out!"

Jingzhe was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

Zuo Le's eyes were wandering. He secretly agreed in his heart but didn't dare to say a word.

He still remembers that he was hung on the wall to get out of the wind because he had said something that offended Qi Yan. He was not let down by his father until the battle with the behemoths was over.

Then a few days later, my dad also went up...

Patting his face, Zuo Le cleared the filial thoughts in his mind, regained his composure and said:

"If you want to find Qi Yan, you can go all the way south. He is going to Rutland to attend the Summit of All Nations."

"The Summit of All Nations..." Jingzhe frowned, "Then there is no need for me to watch him, someone will take care of him."

After saying that, Jingzhe turned his gaze to Zuo Le again:

"You happen to be free recently, so please accompany me to the capital. I have something to investigate."

"Who said I have no mission?"

"I said, if you don't agree, go and complain to your father."

Jingzhe's words made Zuo Le behave himself again.

"Hmph, forget it, don't accuse me of bullying you." Jingzhe turned and walked away, "Come with me to see General Zuo and report that you are now under my charge. And visit him while you are at it."

Zuo Le hurried back to the house, put on his coat, and followed Jingzhe in a miserable state.

When the two men arrived at the general's tent in the military camp, they just saw two shadow guards leaving it in a dusty manner.

Both of them were curious, but they also knew their limits and would not speak too much when it was not necessary.

The two entered the main tent. When Zuo Xuanliao saw Jingzhe, he immediately showed surprise on his face:

"You are finally here. The Grand Tutor said that with your personality, you would definitely chase after Qi Yan. I knew he would not be wrong."

Jingzhe's face darkened a little: "Since he knew, why didn't he wait for me?"

Zuo Xuanliao laughed quickly:

"It's indeed a bit urgent. We have no choice but to do it. Let's not talk about this for now. Can you please stop chasing Qi Yan? I have something important to ask of you."

"what's up?"

"Come with me to the Great Desert City."

Hearing this, Jingzhe frowned, thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "I want to go to Beijing."

Zuo Xuanliao did not ask her what she was going to do, but kept saying:

"Same, wait until I invite the old Taoist priest out of the mountain, and you and her will go to the capital together."

Jingzhe raised his eyebrows, thinking about the matter he wanted to investigate. If he had the support of the old Taoist priest, there would definitely be less resistance.

"I agree to this, but Zuo Le will also be under my command from now on. I need someone who can run fast to help me. His Qinggong is pretty good."

"Small things."

Jingzhe and Zuo Xuanliao worked in unison and made clear arrangements for Zuo Le.

Zuo Le stood aside and didn't even dare to sigh. He could only let the two of them torment him. He was so tired that he suddenly wanted to report to Rhodes Island.

When he was chatting with Taihe, he once heard Taihe sigh that the working atmosphere in Rhodes Island must be very relaxed.

In Zuo Le's heart, the three words "Rhode Island" were gradually coated with gold and glowed faintly.
