Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Little Tuen Mun Village was situated in a small hill. To the southwest of the place was the Tumen Mountain, which was commonly known among the locals. There was a river in the mountain called the Tumen River, which was a tributary of the Suifen River.

People usually prepared food and firewood for the winter before the snow sealed the mountain. After that, they would spend a few months in the cold winter, which was several tens of degrees below zero. The cat would then go out to work after the spring warmth had been released and the river had started to thaw.

In a blizzard like today, the family slept at home. They boiled a pot of wine and some pickled vegetables to stew the white meat. They sat cross-legged on the fire kang. It was a beautiful day, not changing for an emperor.

However, his peaceful life was disrupted by a group of uninvited guests. Following the sound of veteran's head's horsewhip, the doors of all the Little Tuen Mun Village s in dozens of families opened.

"veteran's head... "Do you want to die? What are you crazy about in such a cold weather?"

"Shut up, let Retention Liu come out, there are injured soldiers that need his care, there will be more soldiers coming later …" I'll tell you clearly, the East bank of the Wusuli River's brave soldiers are coming over, we need to rest in your village. "

The entire village erupted with noise. Some time ago, news had already been sent from the people on the other side of the river, saying that an army from the south had come in the name of a loyal soldier to save the survivors of the Heavenly Dynasty, killing the old setae's people.

At first, everyone thought that he was just bragging, but in less than a month, he had already seen the real person!

The attitude of the villagers were very complicated. On one hand, they were pleasantly surprised, because these good men who could defeat the old setae and give vent to the anger of the big guys, they truly admired them from the bottom of their hearts.

However, since ancient times, soldiers were like bandits. If these soldiers were to stay in the village, who would be able to afford it? One meal, two meals was fine, but what if he was a winter cat?

veteran's head saw the hesitation in everyone's hearts and cursed, "What the f * ck are you thinking? Aren't you guys going to wait for someone to force you with a gun? The heads of the old setae are all around his neck … "

Hearing that, Retention Liu slapped his forehead and said in fear, "Don't just stand there! clean up the house, boil some water for food... "Uhm … Wang Family brat, make your wife wear some dirty clothes, and put some black ash on her face. You look just like a coquettish fox that's trying to stir up trouble …"

"Move, move quickly!" "Hugging firewood and burning fire …"

No one dared to fight against the army head on. They could only hope that the army would be able to eat their way out of this predicament. If they ate some food, they wouldn't be afraid of ruining the woman's money and food.

Very quickly, the smoke from the cooking smoke became thicker in the houses. Retention arranged for people to carry the wounded soldiers from the plow into the house for proper care. Fortunately, most of them were frostbite.

After half an hour, Ye Qiu and the others finally struggled to see Little Tuen Mun Village's smoke. A group of watchdogs were barking loudly at the entrance of the village.

Seeing that there was an officer coming over, Retention Liu's knees went weak and he kneeled in the snow. It's the Retention from the Little Tuen Mun Village, if you're invited by this officer's house, the wine is already ready, but please be a little slower, please do not blame this officer … "

Ye Qiu picked him up, "Don't be like this. We're the ones who gave you trouble. We don't like to kneel in front of you. Treat us as passing customers. If we run into a snow storm, we'll spend some money to rent it for two days … …"

"I don't dare. Your Lordship, please don't kill us bastards. Quickly come into the house …" Retention Liu's waist was so low that he was almost crawling in the snow. Thousands of years of reverence and inferiority wasn't something that could be changed with just a few warm words from Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu laughed bitterly and shook his head, "Then I'll have to trouble Retention. I have a total of thirty brothers. It doesn't matter if you arrange a family of three or not depending on the size of the village … … "How about this, two brothers will live in one house, and three brothers will live in another house without any injuries!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qiu turned his head and roared at his brothers: "Listen to my orders!" Everyone paid a deposit of one silver coin before entering the door. If the owner doesn't accept, then they're not allowed to enter … "

"Huh?" The village was in an uproar. People couldn't believe their ears. It was as if they were all dreaming.

Retention Liu's knees went weak and he knelt on the ground. Tears flowed down his face and quickly froze into ice. "I beg of you, our little mountain village really doesn't have anything of value. Please be magnanimous …"

"Wuwuwu …" I just hope that you don't kill us and leave us with food for the winter and we'll burn incense for you … I'm begging the Lord! "

The old Retention hugged Ye Qiu's leg and wailed until all the soldiers were stunned. They had no way of understanding these people's thoughts, and they had no idea that in the past thousands of years, there had never been an army like this in China.

In the eyes of the villagers, what Ye Qiu and the others had displayed was completely under the control of the common sense. In other words, they were being blackmailed. Smiling Tigers were more terrifying than Cold Faced Tigers.

Ye Qiu was also young. His discipline was too simple and straightforward. He picked up Retention and angrily yelled, "Why don't you understand? I said not to eat for nothing, that's just not to eat for nothing … …" Brothers? We were digging for hyacinth outside the village, I don't believe that I spent money to commit a crime … "

The moment those words left his mouth, it backfired. The old Retention was unable to kneel down and caused all of the villagers to kneel down in fear. "How much do you want? We'll gather all the money in the village for you. Don't kill anyone …"

The man kowtowed in front of the door, and the woman was so frightened that she hid in the house and looked for the scissors, afraid of being humiliated later on. At that moment, it was not as if no one wanted to resist, but the heads of the old setae hanging down from their horses' necks and the Gun that looked sharp enough made them retreat.

A strong army that could massacre the entire old setae, how could these villagers resist it?

Just when Ye Qiu was about to go blind, another Qingjun soldier ran over from the snow. It was one of the old soldiers that was guarding the sentry post. He looked at the chaos in front of him and slapped his thigh in anger.

"Motherf * cker, what a bunch of ignorant fools! Do you not understand human speech?" "As long as Master Army gives you money, you can keep your hands on it. Just now, the sentry post gave you a pot of boiling water, and Master Army rewarded you with a silver coin!"

With that said, the old soldier took out the Dragon-striated Silver Coin that was still warm and shouted, "Look! Do you even care about your pickles, your corn, when people steal money for a drink of hot water? "Don't embarrass the men outside the pass, stand up …"

Finally, the locals came to a conclusion. Everyone looked at the silver coin in disbelief as they muttered, "What's going on?" Was there such a good thing in the world? Are there really soldiers that refuse to yield to the common people? "

The more the veteran's head heard, the more embarrassed he became. "Alright, what are you waiting for, hurry up and open the door to welcome the guests!"
