Even though the Li Family Village and the Wild Wolf Village were ‘at peace’, the Li Family Village was in a weaker position, so the Wild Wolf Village was able to act so arrogantly. Of course, if the Wild Wolf Village found an opportunity, the men of the Wild Wolf Village would definitely break the current status quo and pillage the Li Family Village.

Even though the Wild Wolf Village had been eyeing the Li Family Village for a while, it had never found an opportunity to act, and the Li Family Village had always been on its guard against the Wild Wolf Village.

At this moment, Li Youcai kindly said to Zhao Fu, “Sir, your village will be discovered by them sooner or later. It’s best that you make preparations now, or it’ll be too late by the time they find you.”

Surprisingly, Zhao Fu lightly shook his head and said sincerely, “Village Chief Li, if I help you deal with the Wild Wolf Village, what will I get in return?”

Hearing this, everyone around them looked over at Zhao Fu. Some had looks of doubt, others had looks of trust and gratitude, and several had looks of fear.

“Sir, if you can help us destroy the Wild Wolf Village, the Li Family Village will follow you from now on!” Li Wen said emotionally.

Li Youcai quickly grabbed Li Wen and said, “Apologies, my son is young and insensible; please don’t take his words seriously.”

Zhao Fu smiled and asked, “In that case, Village Chief Li, what can I get if I destroy the Wild Wolf Village for you?”

Li Youcai hesitated. On one hand, he knew that the Wild Wolf Village had been eyeing the Li Family Village this entire time, and he wanted to find an opportunity to act against them. Li Youcai was not stupid, and he believed that the bandits would one day attack the Li Family Village. That was why they were defending with such fear every day. However, they couldn’t keep going on like this – one day, the Wild Wolf Village would attack them, which was why they were attracted to Zhao Fu’s words.

Another one of his worries was that Zhao Fu would not be able to stand up to the Wild Wolf Village, resulting in the Wild Wolf Village directing its anger to the Li Family Village as well. In that case, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Fu could tell that the Village Chief had his worries, and he said, “Don’t worry, Village Chief Li, we won’t need a single one of your soldiers, and even if something does happen, it won’t affect the Li Family Village at all.”

When Li Youcai heard what Zhao Fu said, Li Youcai finally made up his mind and asked, “What would you like in return?"

Zhao Fu slightly smiled and said, “I want the Li Family Village to join the Great Qin Village!”

Li Youcai hesitated and thought for a while before finally agreeing. If Zhao Fu could really destroy the Wild Wolf Village, the Li Family Village would join the Great Qin Village.

After coming to this agreement, Zhao Fu and Bai Qi left the Li Family Village.

After Zhao Fu left, some of the Li Family Village’s villagers said with displeasure, “The Li Family Village is going to join another village just like that? Isn’t this a bit too rushed? I’m opposed to this!”

Li Youcai coldly harrumphed and said, “You idiot! If the Great Qin Village can easily destroy the Wild Wolf Village, then it must be very powerful. If that’s the case, the Great Qin Village will be able to easily destroy the Li Family Village as well. Their visit this time was most likely diplomacy before violence, and if we hadn’t agreed, it could have been us that was destroyed first.”
