"You eagle dogs of the court, how can you really fight, you will only blindly retreat and seek peace, ignoring the life and death of the people......"

Suddenly, the man standing in the middle spoke angrily, at length, impassionedly, all of which were sarcastic words about the court. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Bai Yingping's words were interrupted, and he looked at it with a surprised expression.

Even the two hundred soldiers were shocked by these words, and looked at the man with a dull look.

Ye Cheng also looked at it with a pair of shock, he felt strange when he saw the clothes woven from these leaves on the man's body before. He was wondering how long these people had been living in the forest? will be isolated from the world, using the leaves that primitive people will use to make clothes.

Seeing the man's divine strength evolve into a cheetah, he felt even more strange in his heart. There are no generals in the Tiangu Kingdom, why is there a military general in a forest on the border of the Tiangu Kingdom?

I'm afraid there is only one answer, and that is that these displaced people have fled from all parts of the Seven Kingdoms.

The man's words were finished, and the hundreds of men who had just come out of the forest stood behind the three of them, their faces fierce, and the long sticks they held in their right hands slammed into the ground.

The man's tirade never said why they weren't allowed to take the timber with them.

Ye Cheng was helpless, and after the man stopped talking, he trembled and asked, "I know that you have been persecuted by the imperial court, but please believe us, we really use this wood to deal with the enemy army, please let us take it away, okay?"

At the mention of taking away the wood, the man fell silent and looked at him with a serious expression.

This made Ye Cheng very helpless, now that the enemy is outnumbered, he can't force his way in.

At this moment, among the hundreds of men, an old man with a cane came out, came up behind the three men, and whispered something.

The skin on the old man's face was wrinkled, his eyelids were a little swollen, and the eyes were swollen to a slit, and the eyebrows on his eyes fell off because of the wrinkled skin, turning him into an old man without eyebrows.

After hearing the old man's words, the three men all stepped aside very respectfully, facing the old man with their heads slightly bowed, and shouted "Elder" at the same time

The old man walked slowly past the three men, walked towards Ye Cheng, looked at the wounded soldier who fell to the ground, stared at Ye Cheng with his eyes, and said in a very peaceful tone, "I'm sorry for hurting your people."

Finally someone could reply, Ye Cheng hurriedly asked, "Old man, I want to know why you didn't let us take this wood away"

After pondering for a while, the old man said, "This forest is the last place of residence for us homeless people, and if you take the timber with you, it will definitely attract the attention of the loggers, and as soon as the loggers come, this place will become barren again, and then we will leave here again and go into exile."

So it was!

Knowing the reason, Ye Cheng's face was solemn. Ancient buildings were built of timber and required a lot of timber, which gave rise to loggers.

Loggers make a living from logging, and these displaced people live in the forest.

This made Ye Cheng feel a dilemma, but it was not completely impossible to make a decision.

Ye Cheng's face gradually became serious, he faced the old man, and said, "Old man, there is a war on the border now, if we can't get this timber and rush to the front line, then the army of Xiaoluan Kingdom will come in, and there is no need for loggers to cut it here, it will be occupied by the army of Xiaoluan Kingdom."

Then he bowed his bow and respectfully pleaded, "We are sincere in our desire to repel the enemy, and I promise you that even if there is only one soldier left, we will not retreat, we will not sue for peace, and we will not let the people be brutalized by the enemy, so please let us take the timber away."

In the face of Ye Cheng's words of such sincerity, the old man was thoughtful.

Even the man who made a generous statement just now and satirized the court was moved.

Bai Yingping noticed that the other party had gradually moved, and also held the red tassel spear bow and said, "I am the general's righteous son, and I also swear here, if I lead the troops to retreat from the front line to the rear, I will not die with five thunderbolts in the sky."

Ye Cheng was surprised when he heard such a vicious oath on the side. Slowly turning his head to look over, he saw Bai Yingping's serious face, which didn't seem like a joke.

Bai Yingping can have such an awareness, which makes Ye Cheng admire.

"It seems that Bai Yingping, an ancient, is getting more and more thorough," Ye Cheng said secretly in his heart. He and Bai Yingping are both from the same world, but Bai Yingping has lost his memory and has become a complete ancient.

This made Ye Cheng a little worried, if he found a way to go home in the future, would Bai Yingping be able to adapt to returning to that world?

But now is not the time to worry about this.

Under the promises and oaths of Ye Cheng and Bai Yingping, the old man was moved.

The old man turned to face the three men and whispered something. Then he raised his cane, as if to signal something?

After the old man's strange actions, the hundreds of men slowly retreated, and their bodies disappeared into the dark woods little by little.

The man wrapped in yellow divine power on his body also dispersed his divine power. Turning to face Ye Cheng, he bowed and said, "I'm sorry"

Ye Cheng was surprised, a little flustered, and nodded with both hands. He didn't know what the old man had said to them? But now that the outcasts have retreated, it should have been ordered by the old man.

He stared at the old man's back, and secretly said in his heart, "This old gentleman is called an elder, and it seems that he is the one who manages these homeless people." It's good that he is sensible, otherwise it would have been difficult."

Ye Cheng stepped forward and asked respectfully, "May I ask the old man, can we leave with the wood?" ”

The old man turned his head and asked solemnly, "Answer one last question, and I'll let you get out of here with the wood."

"Old gentleman, excuse me," Ye Cheng said.

"How are you going to use this timber against the enemy forces on the border?" The old gentleman asked. He knew that wood did not have great lethality, and it was impossible to repel enemy troops with such wood.

Ye Cheng looked at the old gentleman, he didn't know why the old gentleman asked this, but in order to transport the timber to Dongzhong County and create an explosion, he could only know everything.

"Sir, we use this wood to make charcoal, and then mix it with other raw materials to create a very destructive explosion. With the explosion, we will be able to drive Xiao Luan's army out of Jingfu County and out of the border," Ye Cheng explained.

"Explosive ......?" The old man bowed his head thoughtfully. Then he looked up, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and said, "If that's the case, then you can take the wood away, but I still hope you don't come to cut down the trees here."

"Yes," Ye Cheng said helplessly.

He couldn't predict how long this border battle would last, maybe there wasn't enough wood, but this forest was a place where displaced people lived, and in order to protect these displaced people from the outside world, he had to find another way to find wood.
