Lu Xiao knew that he and Feilong had entered into a state of tacit understanding.
It's just that Feilong thought that Lu Xiao wanted to be the boss. Little did he know that Lu Xiao had no interest in the position of a horse bandit leader.
On the contrary, Lu Xiao was very interested in the fact that there were no horse bandits.
But no matter what, if Feilong wants to dominate the world, he still needs Lu Xiao, a top expert. The two of them can still maintain a kind of harmony on the surface.
However, both sides knew very well that once Feilong felt that the overall situation had been decided, the first person he would move would be Lu Xiao.
"So, we can't let him get his hands on you too easily."
"Ding'an, there is a den of a small group of horse bandits here, with about ten people. Go and clear them out, and remember to leave a mark that it was made by a flying dragon."
Jumping from two to ten at once was a bit big for Ding'an. But instead of being afraid, he felt an unusual sense of excitement.
The only problem is.
"How can I leave a mark saying it was Feilong who did it? I can't write it as the murderer Feilong. Isn't that too obvious?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Most horse bandits don't think that much. But if you feel uneasy, just find someone to skin him. This is the symbol of a flying dragon."
Ding'an was stunned for a moment.
"This... I can't do it! You asked me to kill someone, but I can't do such a cruel thing!"
"No, you can do it."
"Why do you say that to me? I would never do such a thing no matter what!"
Ding'an said decisively, but he only received a mocking laugh from Lu Xiao.
"Then let's make a bet."
"How to bet?"
"I bet you will do what I say. As long as you take a walk around the bandits' den, you will definitely do it."
"I don't believe it, what are we betting on?"
"It's very simple. If I lose, I will promise you one thing. Even if you want to kill the flying dragon tomorrow, I will follow. But if you lose, you must not disobey my order before killing the flying dragon."
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you."
Ding'an thought very simply. Whether I do this kind of thing or not doesn't depend on my will? Why do you win against me?
Lu Xiao chuckled lightly and lightly applied the knife to the wound.
"Don't forget how your father died!"
………
The horse bandits must be unified, but Lu Xiao has the final say on how to unify.
To put it simply, it should not be too easy to unify the flying dragons, nor should it be too difficult.
It's too simple, and it can easily lead to the excessive expansion of Feilong's power, making it difficult to end it.
It's too difficult to say. If this guy gives up halfway, it will be another trouble.
For Lu Xiao, the best result is to create a situation where the two groups of horse bandits are evenly matched. Then let them fight each other, and the overall situation is basically settled.
However, with Feilong's current power, it was difficult for anyone around him to compete with him. In addition, Lu Xiao and the two were practicing, and there was almost no opponent. Therefore, Lu Xiao arranged for Ding'an to take action.
He needs to give a warning to the horse bandits around him. The flying dragon is coming, so they must either run away or unite.
After Ding'an left, Lu Xiao still didn't leave, because Xiang Qiezheng appeared in front of him soon.
"Do you understand?" Lu Xiao asked casually.
"I don't want the disciples of Lianfeng to take risks, but you are right. In this world, there are some things that you have no choice after all. But before that, I want to know all your plans."
"Very good. The plan can be said to be simple or complex. The fact that a town can be formed in this generation shows that there is abundant water. There are also a lot of land around where crops can be grown. It stands to reason that it should be able to develop better. The reason for its decline is because
The horse bandits are rampant around here. I plan to clear out all the horse bandits in the surrounding area and rebuild this town."
"Horse bandits are like weeds. Once you kill one, new ones will grow quickly. How do you get rid of them?"
"This is indeed a problem, and it will probably take us ... a lifetime."
Xiang Zhezheng was stunned for a moment. He was also a swordsman back then. He was one-size-fits-all in doing things. He rarely had such long-term planning and layout. After all, the people living here were all precarious. No one thought about it.
so far away.
Life around the town has improved a lot during this period. Mainly because there have been fewer horse bandits, and the group of hunters who used to bully others have also disappeared. The pressure on the residents has also been reduced a lot.
But the swordsmen in the town know that this is just an illusion. Because they who carry swords know a piece of news. That is, someone has been secretly recruiting swordsmen. Although these people have no overall vision, their intuition is very accurate.
They could have a premonition that something big was going to happen to this generation.
As for what happened, few people could tell clearly.
But suddenly one day, everyone knew about it. Because there was a rumor in the town. It was said that the leader of the horse bandits who destroyed the hunters, Feilong, was preparing to unify all the surrounding horse bandits and become a five-hundred-year-old horse bandit.
The king of horse bandits.
In fact, this kind of rumor is not uncommon. Many horse bandits will use various banners and make all kinds of bold words to recruit people. But this time, the rumors seem to be a little different.
Because soon, someone spread further news. Feilong had already taken action and slaughtered a group of horse bandits who refused to surrender. He also skinned the leader.
Although the people in the town didn't know that Feilong liked to skin people, the horse bandits knew it very well. There were many spies from the horse bandits in the town, and this was quickly confirmed. This time, the surrounding horses
The bandit was really a little panicked.
On the other side, Ding'an, who smelled of blood, returned to the town to meet Lu Xiao. His first words were to admit defeat.
"You win."
"Not surprising."
Ding'an was silent for a long time, and then asked: Are all horse bandits like this?
"What did you see?" Lu Xiao asked in surprise.
"The body of a child, part of..."
Lu Xiao suddenly realized.
"No one is born a horse bandit. Moreover, this is not a good job. In fact, being a horse bandit is much more difficult than working in the town. Not only is it life and death, but there is no guarantee at all. You must know that the folk customs of this generation are sturdy
.If you don’t have much time on your hands, you go out to become a horse bandit. You don’t necessarily know who the bandit is.
The one I gave you is an incompetent little ball. There are no experts, just the kind who can’t get along well. In this industry, you can’t get along well. You don’t even get to eat shit. So, I can only..."
Lu Xiao didn't say anything further, but Ding'an understood what he meant. He couldn't describe the scene himself.
Then there was another long silence. Ding'an seemed to have made some determination and asked.
"Any more?"
"What's wrong? Are you addicted?"
"No, I just feel that some things must be done." Ding'an sounded more determined this time.
"Very good, this is a good start. Then the next goal will be a little more difficult."
