Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

After sighing with emotion, the old village chief pointed out some unspecific details in Xuan Yuan's plan and helped Xuan Yuan improve the entire plan.

After the exchange, Xuan Yuan asked:

"Is there anything else to discuss?"

“If not, don’t hesitate and start taking action now!”

The old village chief nodded, organized the collective villagers, and chased in the direction where the tax collection team soldiers left.

The large army moved forward at a normal walking speed. The old village chief sent a few hunters who were fast and familiar with the terrain to follow the tax collection team from a distance and report the movements of the tax collection team soldiers at any time.

Although the old village chief sent out only hunters, the other party was a professional soldier.

Fortunately, the old village chief only needs to know the general direction of the other party.

In addition, there were a large number of cavalry in the tax collection team, and the tracks and movements during the march were very obvious. There was no need to get close. As long as they were on the distant hills, the tracks and ruts were enough to easily track the other party, and there was no risk of being discovered.

The vigilance of these soldiers was also very low, and they had no idea of ​​sending scouts in all directions to explore the way.

After nearly an hour of traveling and an hour of tax collection, the tax collection team quickly completed the cleaning of another village and headed to the next village.

After receiving the news from the scouts, the old village chief and a group of villagers, led by Xuan Yuan, rushed to the village where the tax had just been collected.

In the village, many villagers can be seen sitting in the yard and crying in front of their empty houses.

The mayor of this village is a middle-aged man. He is sitting at the entrance of the village with many villagers with a sad face, as if discussing something.

I saw this group of masked men coming from a distance.

He was so frightened that he quickly summoned everyone to stand guard on the road, holding stones and bricks in his hands, to confront Xuan Yuan and his group who were coming.

The middle-aged village chief shouted:

"Where did you come from, bandits?"

"Our village has been completely ransacked by the tax collection team. There is nothing valuable left. If you don't believe me, you can go into the village and take a look."

Xuan Yuan took the old village chief and walked out of the crowd.

The old village chief took off the scarf from his face. The other party seemed to recognize the old village chief, and the two began to negotiate.

After a while, the village chief followed the old village chief to Xuan Yuan.

The old village chief introduced:

"This is the village chief of Ironwood Village, and this is the outsider I mentioned to you."

The head of Tiemu Village looked Xuan Yuan up and down with a puzzled expression:

"You are the foreigner who can help us snatch people and things back and make the tax collection team suffer a loss?"

"Can it really be done?"

"We don't have muscle essence now, so we can't help much!"

Xuan Yuan said nothing.

Show off the power of Paji as usual.

After the other party saw the huge little Paji, he collapsed on the ground extremely unbearably and was already convinced.

After regaining his composure, the village chief of Tiemucun became a little worried again:

"I can pass the blame on you though."

"But after you leave, what if we are settled by the tax collection team?"

Xuan Yuan smiled and said:

"You just need to cover up and grab things, stand far behind my demon pet and make a strong appearance, but the one who does it is a monster."

"The soldiers of the tax collection team were robbed by bandits with monsters on the way. What does it have to do with you?"

"As for my reward, it's just what he told you. It's very simple, right?"

Hearing this, the village chief of Ironwood Village couldn't help but nod his head:

"That's a good idea."

"Okay, we from Tiemucun will also join us!"

Upon seeing this, the old village chief asked the other party to organize the villagers in his village to put on dark clothes and cover their heads with scarves.

Wait for the villagers of Ironwood Village to finish it.

The two streams of people merged together, and the number of people doubled to more than 400 people.

A large group of people walked towards the next village again.

that's all.

They followed the traces of the tax collection team all the way.

As soon as the tax collection team leaves, they lead people from the village to join the robbery team.

The overall number of people has become larger and larger, and marching has become a bit difficult. Fortunately, they are all managed on a village basis and everyone is acquainted with each other, so it will not be too chaotic.

The soldiers of the tax collection team carried a large amount of baggage, goods, and villagers who were escorted by them.

Therefore, they can't move fast at all. Xuanyuan and his team can move easily without having to rush.

Just like that, from early morning to dusk.

The soldiers of the tax team collected taxes from 6 villages in total.

Because some villages had a relatively large population, Xuanyuan and the others eventually expanded their number to more than 1,500 through continuous recruitment of these villages.

The hunter sent out found out that the soldiers of the tax collection team stopped, found a high ground and started to light a fire to cook and prepare to rest.

The people following behind also stopped marching.

Xuan Yuan took Xiao Paji and randomly found a mountain range with a lot of trees. He beat the trees and the small animals running around everywhere, and prepared enough food for two thousand people.

This also increased Xuan Yuan's debt to Xiao Paji to 8 silver coins.

Afterwards, the village chiefs of the six villages were called together, a meeting was held with candles lit, and the marching team began to be optimized.

Arrange people to take the elderly and children who are prone to fatigue and return to the nearest village to light a fire and cook. While resting, they also make portable food and dry food for the army.

Only the young adults from each village were left in the team, and they continued to follow the soldiers of the tax collection team and completely integrated the last six villages.

In order not to be discovered by the soldiers of the tax collection team.

This team can only sleep in the wild and cannot live or cook. They can only eat some fruits to fill their stomachs.

Fortunately, the logistics staff who returned to the village would quickly prepare barbecues and meals, collect bedding and warm clothes and deliver them to everyone overnight.

Gathering in front of a terrain map, everyone was discussing specific arrangements.

At this time, a Hebian village chief who looked to be less than thirty years old couldn't help but raise his doubts:

"Why not take advantage of the darkness and snatch the things back now?"

"Why do we have to wait until the tax collection team has collected taxes from all villages before we can take action?"

Before Xuan Yuan could speak.

The head of Panshi Village, who has a beard all over his face and still has strong muscles even if he has lost his muscle essence, couldn't help but laugh:

"Are you stupid?"

"If we start tonight, wouldn't it allow those bastards to directly target the suspect?"

"Our six villages are the most suspect."

"If you wait until they have collected all the taxes, we will do it."

"There are 12 villages around, and there are so many suspects that it is difficult to determine who they are."

"It's safer and yet there are so many people surrounding them."

"It's hard to suspect our villages. They will just mistake it for a large gang of bandits coming from somewhere. Their focus is to suppress the bandits instead of coming to cause trouble for us."

The young people in Hebian Village suddenly realized:

"Oh~, that's it."

Hear their communications.

Xuanyuan always has a strong sense of unreality.

The scope of this world is not large, and there are boundaries. People don’t want to take a look outside the boundaries.

However, judging from the speech in the small world.

They seemed to live in an extremely complete main world. Apart from the royal capital and the 12 surrounding villages, there seemed to be a large area of ​​land outside the scope.

[Foreigners] and [bandits from outside], these two concepts were easily accepted by them as if they were common sense, and no one was puzzled by the contradictions between them.

I have to say, it's quite weird.
