Chapter 62: Secret Agent
The captive camp party let Bai Lijian harvest Du Xi, which was enough to make Bai Lijian very happy. But even so, there are only three learned people in the entire cottage now.
Of course, this is also Bailijian's excessive requirements, if compared to other cottages, or even most of the tribes, there may not even be a single scholar, because they don't pay attention to these people at all.
In their eyes, the people who read are weak scholars, who can't hold knives in their hands and can't ride horses, so they are useless. But they don't know that it is this scholar, who can think of a plan casually, and maybe he can kill them.
"Guys, as things stand, we don't have enough people to defend, so we need some help. I won't hide it from you, I can't use all of you here, I'll only pick some of them, and when the war is over, I'll exempt you from slave status. As for others who were not chosen, I hope you will understand. ”
"The owner of the village! Mr! As soon as Bai Lijian's words came out, the captives became anxious. Only a part of it means that only a part of the people have a chance to escape the fate of working in the prison camps. Although it is dangerous to fight, with the current scale of the conflict, the casualties are generally very small, and they are all bandits, so the chances of survival are still very high. Since he has joined the bandits, he always has to fight, which is much better than working day and night in the prisoner camp.
"The owner of the village, these people really want to help, and I hope the owner of the village will think about it again." Du Xi is the head of these people, and since he has been pushed out, he naturally has to speak for them.
"Sir, I can trust you, but I can't trust them completely. If they're just ordinary farmers, I wouldn't even shut them up. But they were all bandits, and I had to be cautious for the sake of the hundreds of lives in the cottage. I had to do it before they showed enough to make me trust. ”
"What the owner of the village said is reasonable, but how to deal with the current situation?"
"Speaking of familiarity with them, I am definitely not as good as Mr., it is better to leave this matter to Mr. to deal with, and I will give Mr. half of the quota." Bai Lijian had a smile on his face, but his tone was very resolute, and he did not give Du Xi any room for negotiation.
Du Xi looked at Bai Lijian with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the end, he still underestimated the young man in front of him. seems to be a very casual hand, which not only shows his trust in Du Xi, but also puts Du Xi on the fire pit.
Bai Lijian doesn't care who Du Xi chooses, it doesn't mean anything to Bai Lijian, anyway, he goes to guard the gate of the wall, as long as there are people. But for Du Xi, no matter who he chooses, the rest of the people will be alienated from Du Xi because of this. Because in their hearts, they are the ones that Dushi discarded. And these people are what Bailijian likes. Only by separating from the original forces can we truly take their hearts over.
Du Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still said respectfully on his face: "Since the owner of the village believes in the old man, then this matter will be handed over to the old man." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Thanks!"
After explaining the matter, Bai Lijian did not stay in the prisoner camp for long, Liu Qian was still guarding outside the gate of the village, and Bai Lijian had to inspect the defense around the village. However, Bai Lijian still took away less than fifty people who had relatives who died in Liu Li's hands, which was equivalent to giving Du Xi some more places in disguise.
To everyone's surprise, Liu Qian did not launch an attack for several days, but was stationed outside, and constantly sent people to cut down trees and build camps around, with a posture of planning to besiege for a long time.
Bai Lijian stood on the gate of the village and looked into the distance, trying to see it clearly, but the distance was still a little too far, how much Bai Lijian wished that he could have a telescope in his hand at this time, only the cheapest kind, he could see the camp on the opposite side clearly. It's a pity that now I can only hope for Li Lingfeng.
The people who broke into Liu Li's cottage before are living a good life at this time. Because of the heavy training of the staff before the flag planting, many logistics personnel in the cottage were also recruited, and a few were even awarded the title of team leader because of their outstanding performance.
Li Lingfeng didn't participate in it because he wanted to contact Bailijian, and now the leader is Qiu He, the deputy captain of the spy team.
Qiu He is the kind of person who if you throw him into a pile, no one will look at him. Before joining the spy team, Qiu He was also a guy who was forced to be a bandit, and he followed others to do things every day, like a soulless body. But such a person was favored by Bai Lijian, and he was promoted to be the vice captain of the spy team.
Li Lingfeng has a flexible mind and quick thinking, and he is a good spy, but because he is too jumpy, he is not stable many times. Qiu He, on the other hand, is calm and calm, although he does not have out-of-the-box thinking, he will think carefully about everything and will never take risks easily. That's why Bai Lijian deliberately arranged Qiu He into the scout team to ensure the reliability of the information source.
Now Qiu He's identity is the head of the gang. Because of Bai Lijian's guidance, Qiu He's chef level can be said to have risen in a straight line, much better than those who only know how to boil and roast. So Qiu He quickly got Liu Li's appreciation, and now he doesn't cook for others, and opens a small stove for Liu Li and other leaders.
Qiu He is also a good person, and he also takes great care of those small leaders. The big bosses didn't have their share of the meal, but Qiu He often left a little for them, so they soon got the care of those little leaders.
When people are eating, especially when they have a drink, it is easy to talk more, and when they talk too much, some things that should be kept secret will be inadvertently revealed.
It turned out that the reason why Liu Qian was able to endure not to attack these days was because he knew a very important piece of information, that is, Tianwolf Village was actually able to produce its own salt.
The value of salt is too important for these bandits. Salt is indispensable for eating on weekdays, but the salt that these bandits go out to loot is not enough for daily expenses, so they live a tight life on weekdays, and many times they eat without salt. In many cases, these bandits had to endure the exploitation of merchants and spend large sums of money to buy salt on the black market.
Now that I know that Tianluo Village can actually make salt by itself, this is simply a big gold mine, and whoever sees it will be red-eyed. It was because Liu Qian learned about this that he had been discussing with others these days to see what to do, so that he could not only kill Tianwolf Village, but also master the method of making salt.
