Li Jing and others sat on the mountain waiting.

Li Jing did not doubt the old man's position in Ma Hongji's heart, but he was not sure whether Ma Hongji would give the old man face in this matter. After all, he had beaten this village several times, and with a spear, he would definitely kill someone, and the revenge would be a big deal.

Of course, as long as Ma Hongji gives face to the old man, even if it is superficial respect, let him wait for others to enter the village today, then he corrects his attitude and believes that he will eventually obtain everyone's understanding... In fact, Li Jing also understands that rather than obtaining the understanding of the villagers, it is better to say that it is mainly to obtain Ma Hongji's understanding. After all, he knows that in this society, the power and role of clan concepts. It can be said that as long as Ma Hongji really forgave him, it will be equivalent to resolving at least half of the anger and hostility of the villagers. On the contrary, it is annoying.

At this moment, Li Jing even complained about the task assigned to him by Zhang Qingshan.

Li Jing had no confidence, and Ergazi and the others on the side felt even less confident.

"Battery Commander, what do you think of Ma Hongji?" Ergazi sat next to Li Jing, handed a cigarette to Li Jing and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure."

"Battery Commander, I think it's better for us to be more careful."

Seeing Li Jing looking over in confusion, Ergazi lit a cigarette for Li Jing first.

After taking a sip of cigarette, Ergazi glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one within a few meters around, so he leaned closer and whispered to Li Jing: "Master, I think so, you bring half of the people into the village first, and I bring half of the people to ambush outside the village. If he is sincere later, even if he welcomes you into the village on the surface, and then it will be fine until dawn, I will bring people into the village, saying that he had just finished his mission. But if he, Ma Hongji, dares to play tricks, we will cooperate inside and outside and take up this village."

Even the title was changed to the boss, which shows that Ergazi was really worried about the matter in front of him, so he wanted to use this title to express that he was Li Jing's person.

Li Jing was silent... Ergazi's proposal was normal and the safest way. After all, no one knew Ma Hongji's real plan. If he really took the risk and introduced everyone into the village first, then suddenly took action, even if Li Jing won the final victory, he would definitely suffer heavy losses in the fight. How could he complete the task? Li Jing had really become a sinner for the ages.

Ergazi looked at Li Jing straight, waiting for the reply.

"It is okay to cooperate with the inside and outside, so you can do this at least just in case. However, even if you want to fight, we can only take Ma Hongji's home. For other people, we should still tolerate it..." As he said that, he looked up at Ergazi and said solemnly: "Ergazi, remember, we are the Eighth Route Army now, you are the deputy company commander of the Assault Regiment, and I am the battalion commander of the Assault Regiment. In the future, you may be able to become generals. Brothers will have a day to make a comeback with me, which is also an explanation to our brothers... Now, there is really no need for us to leave the road of peace and prosperity and go back to the past... Do you understand?"

"It doesn't matter if I understand it or not. Anyway, I will do whatever you say, and I will be with you if you behead you."

Li Jing patted Ergazi's shoulder in emotion, and then looked at Majiapo Village again, and said nothing for a long time.

"It's bright!"

After a while, a dark village suddenly had a light. Then, the houses of a high-level rich household were bright and looked carefully. It turned out that there were many lanterns hanging in this family. In this darkness, they were as conspicuous as pearls.

It also made the soldiers excited: After all, it is good to have a little light in the darkness.

However, no one can figure out whether it will be bright or extinguished next, causing the whole village to fall into darkness again.

Therefore, under this complex mentality of expectation and worry, whether it was the warrior who had previously whispered or fell asleep, they all stared at the village at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the final answer.

After a while, everyone heard the sound of gong ringing, and it seemed that they could still hear someone shouting. Although they didn't know what was shouting, the sound of gong ringing was spreading like ripples, and the lights of every household were lit up one after another.

"It's bright! It's bright! It's bright..."

“It’s really great!”

"After all, it's our own people..."

The soldiers were excited and couldn't help but sigh and applaud.

Especially the vast majority of the soldiers who were once the Green Forest heroes in the three and four rows cheered excitedly because in their opinion, since the people at the foot of the mountain were willing to light the lights, they expressed their willingness to forgive their past mistakes.

Li Jing and Ergazi stood up at the same time, looking at the lights as many as stars under him in surprise, but their mood became a little complicated. In other words, neither of them gave up the last bit of vigilance and worry.

After every household in the village lit the lights and some people came out, Ergazi suddenly asked in a low voice: "Battery Commander, do I still want to take people outside to wait?"

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "No, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Jing sighed, not knowing whether he sighed at his previous mistakes or whether he couldn't figure out whether Ma Hongji was sincere.

"You must be harmed by others, and you must be wary of others! We are now the Eighth Route Army, so you should be tolerant of what you should be... However, you should still make your brothers secretly alert later, and be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something."

"I understand!" Ergazi nodded and asked again, "Then let's go into the village now?"

"It's better to wait a moment." Li Jing looked at the village at the foot of the mountain and frowned slightly, saying, "The old man is in poor health and will definitely not be able to run so quickly. It should be the old man who sent Zhang Jinlong into the village to persuade Ma Hongji. Now, seeing Ma Hongji's attitude should be to give the old man face, but they must have not met yet. Let's wait until they make a decision and let's go on, so things will be much easier."

After all, it is an old world who can build a team from scratch. Just from the old man's body and the speed of lighting the light, we can analyze it.

Sure enough, a team of torches quickly came out of the village and came up to the mountain.

...

Mr. Zhang Mingfa was sitting on a stone by the side of the road, with a leather blanket under his butt. Zhang Jinlong's wife stood aside, constantly persuading the old man, but it could be seen from the old man's stern face that the effect was not great.

There were two soldiers holding guns standing around. Then, and five servants gathered together to rest.

Seeing the torches getting closer, Mr. Zhang's face became tighter and tighter.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

The team came to Mr. Zhang. Before everyone could speak, two stubborn little guys rushed out of the team, shouting loudly and happily rushed towards Mr. Zhang.

"Oh! Slow down, slow down." Seeing them rushing towards him, Mr. Zhang's tense face instantly turned like an old chrysanthemum blooming. He quickly squatted half-squatted, opened his arms, and put one hand on one, and said in his mouth: "My little ancestor, what if he fell~! Isn't this my life..."

The two little guys immediately kissed Mr. Zhang on the face of each other, and Mr. Zhang was so happy that his goatee was shaking slightly.

Then, the two little guys were very skilled and stretched out their hands at the same time, and said in unison: "Grandpa, I want to eat candy!"

Ma Hongji, who was standing beside him, saw Mr. Zhang laughing and thought he could speak, so he pulled his wife to kowtow to Mr. Zhang: "I have seen my father!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang didn't even look at them, but smiled at the two little guys and said, "Okay! OK! Eat candy, eat candy..." while touching his pocket. As a result, he didn't touch the candy, and he immediately shouted to Zhang Jinlong's wife: "Is it sugar?"

"I'll get it!" Zhang Jinlong's wife responded and hurried to get it.

Mr. Zhang was obviously not angry. He wanted to revive Ma Hongji, but he still didn't look at him. He just touched and pinched the two children and kept nagging: "It's been clean! It's been clean! It's definitely not eating much meat..."

The two little guys obviously got Ma Hongji's instructions in advance. After the older Dabao looked back at his parents, he asked Mr. Zhang in a low voice: "Grandpa, the ground is cold, can you please let my dad get up?"

Hearing his eldest son begging him, Ma Hongji immediately looked up and smiled flatteringly at the old man who saw him. Unexpectedly, the old man took the candy handed over by his younger daughter-in-law and said to Ma Hongji's wife: "Jiafang, why are you still kneeling on the ground? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Ma Hongji's wife did not dare to disobey the old man's words, so she had to scan her husband apologetically, stood up, walked to Mr. Zhang, and stood with a smile.

Mr. Zhang withdrew his gaze and distributed the candy to the two little guys one by one. He also teased the two little guys from time to time, making them laugh endlessly, as if he had forgotten his own father.

On the side, Ma Hongji's wife just looked at Ma Hongji from time to time, and secretly glanced at Mr. Zhang. She had to plead with her several times, but Zhang Jinlong's wife was pulled over by her sleeves and shook her head gently, which made her bow her head helplessly.

Mr. Zhang has a strong aura and he doesn't say anything. Except for those two little guys, others are like wood. Don't speak out, and you don't even dare to move.

Until he finished the candy, Mr. Zhang clapped his hands, kissed the two little guys on the faces, and said, "Go to play!". Then, when he watched the daughter-in-law of the two families take the child to the side to play, Mr. Zhang looked at Ma Hongji.

At this time, Ma Hongji was still kneeling on the ground, without any intention of getting up. Instead, he kept smiling at Mr. Zhang with a charming smile... It is not embarrassing to kneel down to the elders, let alone Mr. Zhang who regards his father. Therefore, Ma Hongji kneeled down with peace of mind, but the servants around him did not look surprised at this. Obviously, although there are very few such scenes, it is definitely not the first time.

"Xiao Ji!"

"exist!"

"Get up."

"Thank you dad!"

Ma Hongji smiled and was about to get up, but Mr. Zhang sighed and said, "Now, your wings are hard, it is hard for you to give me a little thin face..."

Ma Hongji's face changed in fear, and he knelt on the ground again, crying...
