Chapter 78 Refugees, turmoil
Lin You turned over and jumped off the back of Mu Ranshi.
When the gathered refugees saw the extremely ferocious Mulan lion beside him, they were all frightened and huddled in the corner, trembling.
Xue Changgui explained: "I heard from them that the lord who just arrived in Shuangye City was at odds with the original lord of the city, and they started fighting. They were all affected and fled here."
"A fight started?" Lin You frowned.
"That's right." Xue Changgui responded.
"I have met the city lord of Shuangye City before. He is very powerful and has many capable people and strangers under his command. He has ruled Shuangye City for many years. He is probably unwilling to hand over control of Shuangye City."
"Is there anything else?"
Lin You was startled.
He knew that the lord of Futaba City was a cultivator, but he didn't expect that he would be strong enough to protest against the sixth-level lord.
And it seems that the city lord has been entrenched in Shuangye City for many years and has developed a lot of power under his hands. It is obviously not easy to wrest control from him.
This lord is also unlucky to have such a thing happen to him.
And this was at a time when the military force had just arrived and had not yet developed.
If that's the case, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of it?
Gradually, Lin You's eyes brightened.
And just as he was thinking about the specific plan, several refugees suddenly rushed out of the crowd and knelt down in front of him.
"Lord, please have mercy and let us stay here. We can do anything! As long as we have food to eat!"
"Please Lord, please take me in. We have nowhere else to go."
"We promise that we will never mess around!"
The refugees were crying and kowtowing.
Even the other refugees gradually kowtowed and began to make pleas.
They seemed really afraid that Lin You would drive them away.
After all, leaving this yellow sand city is the Gobi Desert full of monsters, and entering there is just a dead end.
Lin You was very curious about how they got here, so he asked: "The distance between here and Shuangye City is so far, there should be a lot of monsters, how did you get here?"
"this......"
The leaders stopped for a moment and all looked at a middle-aged man with a stern face in the crowd.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he no longer hid, stood up, slowly came to Lin You, and bowed deeply.
"I have met the lord."
"Who are you......"
Lin You kept looking at the man with doubts in his eyes.
Because he could faintly feel an aura from the other party that was completely different from ordinary people, powerful and restrained.
Then he thought of something and suddenly asked: "Are you a cultivator?"
"Back to the lord, yes, but the villain's strength is low and he can only reach the fifth level." The man bowed deeply to Lin You again.
Fifth level cultivator!
Lin You was extremely surprised.
I didn't expect to meet the legendary cultivator under such circumstances.
No wonder these refugees could come here from Shuangye City. Now he finally understood the reason.
He asked: "What's your name? With your strength, you shouldn't be reduced to a refugee, right?"
"Back to the lord." The man lowered his head, "The villain's name is Wei Gang. He didn't like the lord of Shuangye City's brutal rule, so he fled Shuangye City with the refugees."
After saying this, he was neither humble nor silent, and even had a hint of aloofness.
This actually made Lin Yougao think highly of him.
And judging from his actions of protecting the refugees, Wei Gang is obviously a compassionate person.
Naturally, Lin You would not let such a talent go easily.
He thought for a moment and then said: "Wei Gang, right? I think you are quite capable. Are you interested in working for me? I am planning to form a guard team, but I still need a guard leader."
This matter was decided by Lin You after careful consideration.
Huangsha City has begun to develop gradually, but there is not even a decent guard team, let alone anyone to maintain order.
How does this look like a territory should be?
The appearance of Wei Gang just solved a big problem for him, so he brought it up. Anyway, the fifth level did not pose any threat to him.
Wei Gang didn't seem to expect that Lin You would invite him so directly.
Seeing Lin You's serious look that didn't seem to be fake, he suddenly looked solemn and replied solemnly: "If the lord doesn't dislike it, I should do my best!"
"Very good. From now on, you will be the leader of my escort team in Huangsha City."
Lin You was very satisfied with Wei Gang's answer.
With the addition of this fifth-level cultivator, the city defense of Huangsha City will become much safer. If possible, we can also help train those children, and maybe we can find a few good cultivators.
In this way, after another conversation, the refugees were handed over to Xue Changgui for arrangements.
Huangsha City is now short of people, so Lin You will naturally not push these people away stupidly.
At the same time, he also brought Wei Gang to the city to ask about Shuangye City.
I don’t know if I don’t ask.
Now Futaba City has been completely divided into two factions.
One is the old city lord's side, the conservative faction composed of cultivators.
One is the newly arrived lord's side, a welcoming faction composed of soldiers and some cultivators.
The two sides fought fiercely inside Futaba Castle, vying for control.
The citizens of Shuangye City were caught in the middle, running away and running away, it was extremely miserable.
"Then do you know how many sixth-level forces there are on both sides?"
After listening to Wei Gang's explanation, Lin You immediately asked the most critical question.
In order to show his loyalty, Wei Gang knew everything and said immediately: "Go back to the lord, the old city lord, there should be about fifty people on the sixth level."
"Although the newly arrived lord only has a dozen sixth-level summons around him, he has many sixth-level cultivators supporting him. The total number is no less than that of the old city lord."
"so much?"
Lin You was a little surprised, even jealous.
Look at others, there are so many strong supporters right from the beginning.
Looking at him again, there was only one abandoned city at the beginning, and almost all the people, not to mention the cultivators, were gone.
The only advantage is that you don't have to deal with the trouble of confronting the old forces, which saves you a lot of energy.
Given the current situation in Futaba City, if he intervenes hastily, he is afraid that it will arouse hostility from both sides, and may even be regarded as an outsider and subject to joint suppression.
If the two sides unite to deal with him, he will not get much benefit.
As expected, we still need to develop slowly and improve our overall strength first.
Anyway, those two powers are busy fighting and won't pay attention to this for a while.
By the time they both lose, he will have already developed, and it will not be too late to decide based on the situation.
Thinking of this, he continued: "In that case, I will give you a task first."
"It's just what the Lord ordered." Wei Gang bent down slightly.
Then, Lin You revealed his plan to absorb more refugees and asked Wei Gang to take people to wait on the road.
Once you find refugees fleeing this way, take them back to Huangsha City immediately.
And there are as many as you want.
This plan immediately puzzled Wei Gang.
"Lord, I forgive my subordinates for speaking frankly. Too many refugees may not be a good thing and can easily lead to unrest. Given the current situation in Huangsha City... I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do so."
That's what the words mean.
Huangsha City is too weak now to control so many people.
Because in Wei Gang's view, since Lin You came to such a desolate and barren place, his men must not be strong.
And this is also true.
Along the way, he didn't find any other cultivators in the city. Even Lin You only brought a sixth-level summoning object with him.
