"Nephew Yan, Agen just explained it clearly. The group of strong men entrenched on the hill outside had hundreds of people. They were blocking there. At this moment, our people couldn't get out."

In the wooden house, an old man in the village named "Shan Bo" spoke.

Yan Huandan sat there, with a calm expression and said calmly: "Shan Bo, I have something to say."

Shanbo said: "The village means asking you to take action. Everyone knows that you have excellent martial arts skills and will definitely kill the bandits."

Yan Huandan smiled indifferently: "A few days ago, I came to ask for guilt and said that the people I brought out to buy supplies would cause trouble to the village. But now, how did the trouble come?"

Several old men looked at each other with a embarrassed expression.

Yan Huandan said, "It's not that someone deliberately attracted these bandits."

Na Dongbo sighed: "Nephew Yan, you should understand the emotions in the village. Are you thinking about living a stable life?"

Yan Huandan said, "So you also have to take care of my emotions. When I returned, I said I would retire from the mountains and forests and would not ask about the affairs of the world anymore."

Shanbo was anxious: "Bandits are not a business in the world. They are cruel and ruthless and kill people without blinking. And A Guang was captured, and his life and death were uncertain. If he was delayed for a long time, he would be a life."

Yan Huandan glanced at him: "I am blunt, you should be worried about another thing."

Everyone was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The bandits will definitely torture A Guang. If they can't bear it, A Guang will tell you all about the situation in the village. Do you think those bandits will attack directly?"

Yan Huandan said slowly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

There must be a reason for becoming a bandit. The most important thing is that as a bandit, the ones who are most interested in are food, money, and women. These people and things are all in Datang Township. Although they cannot be called wealthy, they are undoubtedly much better than other villages outside. After all, those villages have been exploited by the government for several levels and are very poor.

In addition, due to Datang Township’s own problems, it is impossible to even report to the official.

Shanbo swallowed: "A Guang won't do that, he is a woman and a child, but he is all in the village."

Yan Huandan smiled and said, "That might be possible, in order to survive, who can keep his mouth shut?"

After escaping back, Agen, who was injured in his shoulder, immediately shouted: "In this case, Brother Yan, you can't stand by and watch. If the bandits attack the village, you can't be exempted."

Yan Huandan's eyes drooped: "I can wait until the bandits hit me, it will not be too late to take action."

These words made everyone speechless. They were a little dissatisfied with Yan Huandan's return and brought people back. They always felt that Yan Huandan had been away for many years, which was equivalent to being a person outside.

This emotion reached a peak when Chen Tang and Ning Yi arrived. They thought that there were two more people coming today, and what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? If there were endless streams of visitors, then Datang Township would be uneasy.

Although this place does not belong to anyone in a strict sense. It does not even have the land deeds recognized by the government and does not have the meaning of status. However, they lived here for generations and regarded the place as private property. Over time, even the rules set by their ancestors to accommodate refugees were left behind and ignored.

Yan Huandan knew that he chose to build a house at the foot of the mountain far away from the village. He usually hunted and brought meat to the village. Gradually, everyone accepted it.

However, a while ago, Chen Tang and Su Ling went out to buy supplies and made the village's emotions sensitive and they were very opposed. They felt that Chen Tang and others were too flamboyant and would cause trouble for the village.

This conservative mentality is not wrong, but it is just different in concepts, so I came to Yan Huandan to raise an army to question him.

However, once the village faces a crisis, everyone immediately thinks of Yan Huandan's ability and wants to ask him to do it.

Since leaving the Yin Si, Yan Huandan has experienced a lot. He has entangled and troubled what he sees and hears. After accumulating depression, he gradually becomes a demon in his heart. The problem lies in his understanding of the human heart, and it is difficult to tell the right and wrong. His original nature is the kind of person who hates evil, but after repeated human feelings, he cannot clearly tell the difference.

This feels very contradictory.

Shan Bo gritted his teeth: "Nephew Yan, what are the conditions for you to take action? Let us tell us that everyone will consider it and as long as it is feasible, they will agree."

Hundreds of bandits are not a joke. Although there are hundreds of young and strong people in the village, most of them are honest and stuttering and lack weapons and equipment. If they fight, they will have doubts about their combat power. Not to mention the outcome, as long as there are large-scale casualties, it will be a fatal blow to the entire Datang Township.

Yan Huandan shook his head: "I said, I have retired..." He paused and his tone changed: "My nephew is a little skilled in martial arts. If you can ask him to take action, you may be able to deal with it."

"he?"

Everyone couldn't help but show doubts. Chen Tang was too young and gentle. He knew at first glance that he was a scholar. Isn't this a joke to ask scholars to deal with bandits?

Dong Bo stood up angrily: "Nephew Yan, if you don't want to help, just say it, why do you need to find other excuses? Ashan, let's go to the village for a meeting and discuss, and make a defense earlier, so don't be touched by bandits into the village."

As he said that, he left with everyone.

After they left, Yan Huandan's eyes flashed, which was sarcastic.

In the bamboo forest outside, Chen Tang was cutting bamboo and then cutting it into bamboo slices to make it into a smaller bamboo raft.

Living in the village, Chen Tang was not very interested in going up the mountain to hunt, but wanted to take a boat to the north. Yan Huandan said that there was a deep pool at the source of this river, and the scenery there was quite good, so Chen Tang wanted to go and see it.

Su Ling helped next to her and asked, "The elder in the village came to find Uncle Yan because he wanted to ask him to deal with the bandits. Brother Bujin, would you agree?"

"Won't."

Chen Tang promised to do it simply.

"Ah, why?"

Su Ling was very puzzled. In her opinion, Yan Huandan was an extremely chivalrous and kind person. On the way from Ningzhou to Qinzhou, when he encountered injustice on the way, he would help him. Why did he ignore the problem in the village now?

Chen Tang said: "Because he said he was going to retreat to the world."

Su Ling: "Retreat is retreat, but when you are threatened, you can't really wait for death."

Chen Tang smiled: "Then wait until there is a threat before talking about it."

Su Ling was stunned, her mind felt a little confused, she seemed to understand, and then she felt dizzy, thinking for a while: "Brother Bujin, do you mean to let us protect ourselves?"

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "No, what I said is that I need an opportunity. Uncle Yan was suspicious, so he wanted to find an opportunity to understand people's hearts and want to see clearly."

Su Ling was still puzzled, but she didn't continue to ask more questions.

The next day, Chen Tang and Su Ling were still busy here and making bamboo rafts. At noon, Wang Fu rushed over panting and shouted, "Don't be proud, go back quickly. I heard from the people in the village that the bandits have sent people in and want to discuss matters with the villagers."

Chen Tang frowned and asked, "The bandits did not attack in?"

Wang Fu shook his head: "It shouldn't be there, but two people were sent, and A Guang, who was captured and brought up the mountain yesterday, was also brought back."
