Yao Yingxiong didn't like this pedantic village elder from the small mountain village very much, simply because he was the spokesperson for the Zhong family.
"Mr. Xu, I came here to inspect the military training in the small mountain village."
Xu Youde hurriedly said, "Yao Youjiao, after the township issued the notice, our small mountain village responded immediately and established a village security force. No matter whether it is day or night, there are people patrolling."
"I'll go gather all the villagers here and let you inspect them."
He made a gesture, and Xu Dashan understood. He ran out with the gong and started beating it all over the village. "All soldiers, gather at the village entrance!"
Yao Yingxiong retracted his gaze and immediately asked, "Village Master Xu, do you know where Zhao Zheng's family is?"
Xu Youde arrived: "What do you want to talk to Zhao Zheng about?"
"Yeah." Yao Yingxiong nodded without saying anything.
Xu Youde's heart was pounding. Could it be that what those old sisters-in-law said was true?
Did Zhao Laosan really try to curry favor with Yao Yingxiong?
Just as he was thinking about it, Ma Dazhu, who was watching from the side, mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Yao Youjiao, I'll take you there!"
He was standing aside just now and didn't dare to go forward. When he heard Yao Yingxiong asking about the location of Zhao Zheng's house, he was immediately very happy.
It must be that Zhao Laosan's behavior of using the Yao family's name was discovered, and Yao Youjiao came to inspect and took care of Zhao Laosan.
Yao Yingxiong recognized Ma Dazhui at a glance and was very disgusted with this hunter with mediocre skills.
If it weren't for him, I might not have gone into the mountains to hunt tigers.
Xu Youde frowned, "Dazhu, what are you doing here? Why don't you go and line up?"
This kid has no tact. Is it his turn to curry favor with Yao Youjiao?
Ma Dazhu could hear Xu Youde's unhappiness, but at this moment, he gave it his all.
Doesn't Zhao Laosan like to make accusations against others?
He can also complain!
Yao Youjiao would be very happy after dealing with Zhao Laosan, and might even give him a hand.
By then, he can walk around the village with all his might, and the village elders will be nothing.
"Village elder, Yao Youjiao and I are quite familiar with each other, so it's my duty to lead the way," said Ma Dazhu.
"You are nothing, get out of here!" Xu Youde was furious. This kid simply didn't know what was good for him. Who are you and Yao Yingxiong? Who are you to make friends with them?
Is it suitable?
Yao Yingxiong was also very unhappy, but at this moment, villagers came running from all directions, and soon the team was almost together.
Xu Dashan ran over, sweating profusely. "Yao Youjiao, everyone is here except for the patrol team members."
Hearing this, Yao Yingxiong nodded and said, "Then go inspect the village soldiers first, and we can deal with the rest later."
He didn't even look at Ma Dazhu.
Xu Youde glared at Ma Dazhu, "Why don't you hurry up and line up?"
Ma Dazhu was not convinced, but now he had no choice but to go back and line up.
"Yao Youjiao is here to inspect, everyone is standing in line!" Xu Youde shouted.
The other two village elders also came and stood aside as a foil.
There were several other people who came down with Yao Yingxiong. They were all burly men. They were wearing leather armor and carrying swords. They looked very majestic.
Everyone is so envious.
Yan Dali, who was in the crowd, thought to himself, "It's okay to join the army in the countryside. If I can be like these people, who in the village will dare to look down on me?"
"I just need to open my mouth and Pan Da Nao will bring the Ganoderma lucidum to my door!"
"And that damned Zhao Laosan, I'll make him kneel down and admit his fault!"
Just thinking about it made Yan Dali feel a little overwhelmed.
At this time, Zhao Zheng was looking at Yao Yingxiong, and Yao Yingxiong happened to look over at him. He smiled at him and nodded.
Yao Yingxiong also nodded in response, but did not speak to Zhao Zheng in public.
But Yan Dali, who was standing behind the bearded man, misunderstood. "Did Yao Youjiao nod just now to say hello to me?"
He became inexplicably excited.
"The New Year is coming soon, and the bandits are ready to strike. Everyone must patrol diligently, train diligently, and protect the village!"
Yao Yingxiong came to see Zhao Zheng mainly under the pretext of an inspection. After saying a few polite words and encouraging everyone, he said, "If there's nothing else, let's go!"
"Yao Youjiao, I have something to report!" Ma Dazhu gritted his teeth and raised his hand.
Everyone looked over.
Xu Youde's face darkened. "Ma Dazhu, what can you do?"
What does this kid want to do?
Yao Yingxiong frowned, "What's the matter?"
"I'm reporting Team Eight's captain, Zhao Zheng, for causing trouble in the village under the name of Yao Youjiao." Ma Dazhu stepped out of the line and pointed at Zhao Zheng in the crowd. "Everyone in the village knows this. If Yao Youjiao doesn't believe me, he can ask the villagers!"
He looked so united in hatred for the enemy that even Xu Youde was confused.
Everyone in the team looked at each other.
No one expected that Ma Dazhu would actually report Zhao Zheng in front of Yao Youjiao.
If this is true, Zhao Zheng will be in great trouble if he doesn't die.
Each of their eyes is full of inquiry and gossip!
Niu Dalei looked at Zhao Zheng and found that he looked indifferent. His heart suddenly returned to its original position and a playful smile appeared on his face.
Pan Dabotou, Jiang Wogua and Big Beard all looked at Ma Dazhui with a half-smile.
"I can testify!" Yan Dali was the first to agree. "Yao Youjiao, this Zhao Zheng not only acted recklessly in your name, but also treated military training as a joke. You have no idea how far he has gone."
"Daily drills are just to make the villagers mess around...Please ask Yao Youjiao to severely punish Zhao Zheng."
Xu Youde was very angry.
These two bastards actually went over to complain to me.
This is a fucking taboo.
He didn't even take himself seriously.
However, the most urgent task is not to argue with these two bastards, but to appease Yao Yingxiong, "Yao Youjiao..."
Yao Yingxiong raised his hand to interrupt him, then looked at Zhao Zheng in the crowd with a half-smile, "Old Zhao, it seems that you are quite hated!"
Zhao Zhengyi spread his hands and said helplessly, "Yao Youjiao, outstanding people are always envied. They have mouths on their bodies, what can I say?"
Yao Yingxiong laughed and said, "You're right. Only mediocre people are not envied. Only talented people are envied."
Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying nothing.
And everyone was dumbfounded.
What did Yao Youjiao call Zhao Zheng?
Old Zhao?
Such an intimate name.
Are the two really familiar with each other?
Ma Dazhu was also confused, "Yao, Yao Youjiao, I really didn't lie to you, this Zhao Laosan..."
Yao Yingxiong looked at him coldly, his eyes full of disgust.
Ma Dazhu was so frightened that he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"You all practiced well, keep it up." Yao Yingxiong didn't care how they practiced. Even if the entire small mountain village was killed by bandits, he wouldn't care.
The only one who cares in the village is Zhao Zhenger.
He walked up to Zhao Zheng with a smile and hooked his shoulder, "Old Zhao, take me to your house!"
How could Zhao Zheng not know that he was doing this specifically to support him? He smiled and gestured for him to come in, "Yao Youjiao, please come this way."
As he spoke, he stopped again and glanced at Xu Youde, who was looking astonished. "Uncle Youde, would you like to come to my house for tea?"
