Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Returning to the City

"What’s happening?"

Shen Wenchen arrived on horseback, worried about everyone’s safety, only to find them huddled together as if they were about to fight.

The people who came with him separated them, and only then did Shen Wenchen dismount.

"Brother Chi, what’s going on?"

"The village was attacked last night. Some of their people were supposed to be standing guard, but they went to the end of the village to catch fish. When those ghosts came, there was no one guarding the village entrance, and a few people were captured."

Chi Sheng glanced at the village chief of Datian Village and said coldly.

"Not only were people captured, but some of ours were injured as well! They even have the audacity to claim it was our fault!"

"Third brother and fourth brother were busy all night, and wanted to rest, but they stopped them from leaving!"

The people of Qing Fenghan talked all at once.

If it had not been for General Shen, they would have quit already!

What a rotten place!

The place is fine, but the villagers here are really disgusting.

Where were these faces when the rat plague was severe?

Now that most of the rats are cleared, they start to "discriminate against outsiders," is that it?

They are a bunch of ungrateful wretches!

Especially the children in this village, none of them are good!

"What’s happening?"

Shen Wenchen raised his eyebrow, turning his gaze towards the villagers of Datian Village.

When they had originally allowed the people of Qing Fenghan to settle here, it was made clear.

Once they register in Datian Village, they will be fellow villagers.

Datian Village should not privately discriminate against them; Qing Fenghan’s people would also teach them to make wine. Not only that, the city has also granted them a contract for wine collection.

This is a good deal that other villages couldn’t hope for, they agreed to it happily back then, but now they’re against it?

"General, it was a misunderstanding..."

The village chief was aware of the close relationship between Shen Wenchen and Chi Sheng, so now he could only hurry to defend himself.

"Then please explain what kind of misunderstanding it was."

Shen Wenchen’s face was already unhappy, and with his eyes fixed on him, he looked even scarier.

The village chief swallowed and glanced around nervously, only to see blood on Shen Wenchen’s clothes.

The next second he fell to his knees, shivering, "General, it was a misunderstanding, it was my fault for not managing them properly, it won’t happen again. Please don’t be angry."

Shen Wenchen ignored him, signaling for Chi Sheng to follow, and then headed into the courtyard.

"Village chief, what are you doing!"

Watching Shen Wenchen leaving, they finally dared to help the village chief up.

"Why did you kneel... it’s embarrassing..."

A younger one murmured.

Everywhere there’s discrimination, it’s enough that they accepted those people settling in the village. How come it seems like they’re inferior to these outsiders?

"Shut up! If anyone messes up again, see how I deal with them!"

The village chief, having made a fool of himself, simply slapped his own knee covered in mud and grumbled back to his courtyard.

Not one of them is sensible!

"Wenchen, what happened?"

Chi Sheng saw that Shen Wenchen’s face had been bad all along, and now there’s even a bruise, so he knew something had happened.

"Get ready, everyone. We’ll be heading back to Yan City shortly."

Shen Wenchen shook his head, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.

He didn’t know what kind of chaos would ensue if all the people from these villages moved into Yan City.

"Did something happen?"

Ming Qin was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

Why did they suddenly have to live in the city?

"Last night, did any of you see what it was that entered the village and injured people?"

Chi Sheng and the second-in-command look at each other, then shook their heads.

"We didn’t really see it."

The people who were supposed to be standing guard last night weren’t theirs, when they heard someone scream and rushed out, they only saw several dark figures.

There was no time to light the lamps at night; they just felt that those people moved very quickly, and they couldn’t catch them at all.

After about a quarter of an hour, they not only failed to harm them but also had quite a few people injured.

Moreover, each of them was carrying a man, their light skills were still excellent, and they showed no signs of slowing down.

"Last night I got a brief look and I’m afraid, they might not be considered human anymore."

Shen Wenchen sighed, recounting what had happened last night.

Everyone took a sharp intake of breath.

Especially Ming Qin.

She came from another world, so of course, she knew what Shen Wenchen was talking about.

She had thought she had crossed into a fictional dynasty, yet now she was tasked to save the world and even faced mutants?

In this era without modern weapons and a lack of food, weren’t they just being sent to their deaths?

Ming Qin was stunned.

She had always thought that things were difficult enough as they were, but it seemed like God was playing a joke on them, not content with their hardships, and sent another big problem their way.

"But if Xin City was really destroyed by them, would Yan City be able to withstand it?"

"I don’t know."

Shen Wenchen answered truthfully.

He wasn’t sure either.

Especially after last night’s fight.

He could be said to have the backing of a major role, always having a natural understanding of martial arts, although not considered a top-notch expert, but he had also dealt with very few people.

But last night, he clearly felt that if they really fought, he could only assure to suppress the other side.

But they had hundreds of people, how many people in Yan City could hold their own against him?

If they don’t come up with a method, Yan City might be the next Xin City.

But if they don’t get them to move into the city as soon as possible, these villages might be massacred before those things get their hands on Yan City.

He didn’t consider the people he saw this morning as accidents, but more likely provocations from the other side.

They didn’t have much time left.

"If we don’t move into the city, we might end up like the people who were captured last night."

Chi Sheng said solemnly.

They had no choice.

The purpose of those things was to herd all the sheep on the outside into the sheep pen.

Then wipe them all out at once.

"I’ll go and tell everyone to pack up."

"Go ahead."

There was silence for a moment, Shen Wenchen looked at Yuanbao, who was blushing, looking puzzled.

"What’s wrong with Yuanbao?"

"She’s sick."

Ming Qin looked at her daughter in her arms, her mood dropped a bit.

Ever since Xiaoqi had the accident, Yuanbao had been melancholic, and in the past two days she had a high fever.

She was so hot it was frightening, and she kept talking nonsense.

The second-in-command had tried everything, but she didn’t get better.

It wasn’t till this morning that the fever went down a bit.

"When we get to the city, I’ll take her to Jihe Hall."

Shen Wenchen, who loved the well-behaved and adorable Yuanbao, felt a heavy heart seeing the child sick.
