Chapter 9 The Way to Live

Bai Lijian returned to his tent with a dejected expression, as if there was a feeling of being unable to make it all the time, making Bai Lijian feel exhausted.

Liu Jing was very keen to find Bailijian's depressed mood, and asked, "What's the matter, what difficulties have you encountered?" ”

"They won't move."

"Why? Don't they know that the army is coming? ”

"Yes, but they don't believe it."

"Confused!" Liu Jing said angrily: "These short-sighted guys, this will kill everyone!" ”

After Liu Jing vented, she slowly calmed down this time, looked at Bai Lijian, and muttered to herself: "Why isn't you the one who is in charge here?" Otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry so much. ”

After speaking, Liu Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Bai Lijian's arm and said excitedly: "Do you believe me?" ”

Bai Lijian was a little puzzled by the question, but he still nodded and said, "Of course I believe it, otherwise I wouldn't have left you in my tent." ”

"Then do you want the people outside to listen to you?" Liu Jing's tone was full of temptation, and Bai Lijian could even see a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Lijian was vigilant and asked cautiously.

"Help you to ascend to the top and let you be the master of the house!"

Bai Lijian's mind buzzed, and his body suddenly lost control. However, Bai Lijian still forced himself to calm down.

Bai Lijian's mind was racing fast, and he decisively refused: "No! Absolutely not! Not to mention whether I have the strength or not, just at my age, no one will obey me! ”

"Haha~" Liu Jing smiled: "I'm really right, you are not a person who is willing to be mediocre." What you are worried about is actually nothing in my eyes. ”

Bai Lijian didn't speak, just stared at Liu Jing quietly, waiting for him to continue to finish speaking.

Liu Jing pointed to the milk tea boiling on the bonfire, and Bai Lijian immediately understood and poured a bowl for Liu Jing.

Liu Jing took the bowl from Bai Lijian's hand and said, "How about we make a deal?" ”

"What deal?"

"I'll help you get on the throne, and you promise me one condition."

"On what terms?"

"It's too early to say, I'll tell you when you're strong in the future!"

"No, I can't promise you any unknown conditions in advance, I'm too bad."

"Don't worry, I just need you to give me a promise, and you will help me to complete a thing in the future, this matter will definitely not cause any harm to you, maybe it will be good for you."

"Then why can't you say it now?"

"It's useless to say it now. Before you have enough strength, I said that I was harming you. ”

Bai Lijian walked back and forth in the tent a few times, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Tell me your method, and I'll consider whether to agree." ”

Liu Jing raised her hand, drank a whole bowl of milk tea, burped with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "What you are worried about is nothing more than two things, one is that you are too young, and the other is that you have no strength. And these two things are not a big deal. Being too young is precisely your potential, and it is also your excellent cover, and you can even stand behind others to control and command everything. As for the question of strength, there is a very strong strength hidden in your tribe that no one has yet to grasp, and I can help you hold it in your hands. ”

"Sir, you mean to let me raise a puppet?"

"Clever, it's really a little bit thorough!" Liu Jing cast an approving look at Bai Lijian.

"The premise of supporting puppets is to have their own strength as support, what do you mean when you say that there is a strong strength hidden in our tribe?"

"Think about it, where are the most men in your tribe?"

Bai Lijian's eyes lit up, and his face showed joy: "You mean those prisoners?" But soon Bai Lijian's expression darkened again, "How could they listen to me?" ”

"You're wrong, the only way they can survive now is to listen to you." Liu Jing said in a very firm tone: "They were originally from the Nuzhen Division, and this time they looted in the name of horse bandits, firstly, to raise military rations, and secondly, to loot property and population, which is a shady thing. It's okay if they don't find out, but once the other tribes know about it, they will all be outcasts, and the Nuzhen tribe won't recognize that this is their person. Their capture this time is tantamount to being completely abandoned by the tribe, and as long as we can give them hope of survival, they will completely obey us. ”

"But if they get up with evil intentions and kill us all, then no one will know about them." Bai Lijian worried.

"You also think too much of the intelligence of these people, with their heads, how could they think of this." Liu Jing said with an indifferent face. But seeing Bai Lijian, who was still worried, he still gave a solution.

Liu Jing pointed to the foot of the slope not far from the tent, where a bonfire had been lit, which was a temporary gathering place for women and children from other tribes who had fled a few days ago.

"You just need to tell the news to the women and children in front of the group of captives, and let them take the news away, so that the thoughts of this group of captives can be broken, and they can only follow you with all their hearts."

"Okay, without further ado, we'll go to the prisoner camp now."

As for the slaves, Uncle Zhuogang can still deal with them, as long as they are scattered and let the families take care of them, after all, these are slaves who have already been tamed, as long as they are not oppressed too hard, there will be no resistance. But for these captured horse bandits, everyone didn't know how to deal with them for a while.

According to Uncle Tumu's suggestion, they were all killed. After all, there are too few men in the tribe, and it is too dangerous to leave these murderous horse bandits behind. But to kill more than 30 people at a time, I feel a little too cruel, Uncle Zhuo Gang is old after all, and he really can't be ruthless. So the captives were put on hold for the time being.

The place where the prisoners were held was in the north of the camp, and there was a middle-aged woman guarding outside, and when she saw Bai Lijian coming, she kindly advised: "Xiao Jian, there are some vicious horse bandits imprisoned here, you better go back quickly." ”

"It's okay, I'm just here to see these captives, not to mention that they're all tied up, and they've been hungry for another day, so they'll be fine."

"Well, you're smart, go in and see if there's anything missing, lest you let these scoundrels run away. Also, tomorrow you go to persuade Uncle Zhuogang, these people can't stay, it's better to kill them all as soon as possible. ”

Looking at the angry look on the aunt's face in front of him, Bai Lijian could only nod awkwardly and said, "Well, I know." ”
