Chapter 51: Clearing the Wasteland
After resting for less than half an hour, I saw the gate of Tucheng open from a distance, and a group of people rushed in this direction.
When Zilong saw that someone was leaving the city, he had already ordered everyone to quickly bow down, bow their heads, and pretend to be very tired, while he leaned to the side and covered his face with a helmet.
It was Fei Lianbo who led people out of the city, he was refreshed today, but he still maintained that cynical appearance, and he went out of the city to welcome the victorious alliance private soldiers, and they all brought the Helan clan, which was simply ......
However, the other tribal leaders who accompanied them looked like they were dead and alive, and it was really a bit of a fuss to welcome these smugglers on this hot day.
But although everyone knew in their hearts that Fei Lianbo at this time was just a puppet at the mercy of Helan Xiao, no one would put this matter on the face.
I have to give the nominal leader of the alliance a little face, and since Fei Lianbo insists on showing his praise for these meritorious soldiers, he has to make a trip.
It's just that these private soldiers are too ignorant of lifting, and a group of tribal leaders came to greet them, but they were lying on the ground half-dead, and they didn't know how many catties and taels they had?
Fei Lianbo felt a little strange, whether it was a group of private soldiers or bandits, it should have been a big battle to reach the level of total annihilation or total capture, why didn't anyone see much blood on their bodies?
Moreover, Hou Mo Chen Yue also knew that when he had this ability, he could end the long-difficult thief's nest in Funiu Village with such a small sacrifice?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cough dryly.
"Hou Mo Chen Yue, you can be regarded as a great achievement, the leader of Fei Lian came to greet him personally, and your family is also unparalleled in glory!"
Who knew that Helan Xiao's words were exchanged for bursts of "woo woo en", Helan Xiao was shocked, and found that there was one person standing up in the group of prisoners, untidy, and he was only wearing obscene clothes, unkempt, only his figure was still a little familiar.
A hint of foreboding arose.
"Mr. Helan don't come unharmed!"
Helan Xiao heard a sullen voice, turned his head and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual, and couldn't help but drink: "Who?" What kind of hero is the one who hides his head and shrinks his tail, come out and speak! ”
Then Zilong really got up, but with him stood up was the entire team, which was as uniform as the regular army of the court that had been trained for a long time.
Helan Xiao and the others were taken aback by this sudden change, with the exception of Fei Lianbo.
They are here to greet their private soldiers today, how can they have any precautions, at most they have brought some slaves with them, but there are mostly female slaves, what can they resist?
Seeing a strange face suddenly appear in front of him, he tried to look for it for a long time, but he didn't see the private soldiers led by his own children, and he was in an uproar.
"Where's my child?"
Everyone asked in unison towards the person who looked like the leader with his back to them, this should be Hou Mo Chen Yue, right?
However, this is really not, this is the Dugu Zilong.
Zilong turned around, and everyone was confused, who was this person?
Only the two of them had very different expressions, one was Fei Lianbo, triumphant and smiling. The other is Helan Xiao, saying that the shock is no longer enough to describe.
It must have been an epiphany mixed with a little anger, maybe a little unexpected, and a little remorseful.
Why is it him? Why did you forget about this variable? No wonder I didn't see anyone for two days, could it be that they united with the bandits and served the alliance's private soldiers? Why didn't he recognize his true colors earlier?
After a closer look at the captured private soldiers, all of them were unkempt, and only one of them still had a recognizable face and neat crown and armor.
When Helan Xiao saw that person, the blood in his chest surged, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground, and after he fell, he still looked at the sky and muttered: "Heaven will kill me, God will kill me!" ”
To say that Helan Xiao is narrow-minded, in fact, he really won't be angry like this because of Zilong's unexpected entry, but the sad thing is that when he turned around, he saw Fei Lianbo's hateful face that succeeded in his conspiracy, and then think about the person who stood out from the crowd among the private prisoners.
Everything was revealed, it turned out that Fei Lianbo had been pretending to be stupid with himself, and the situation that he thought he was winning was ruined in the hands of an inconspicuous young man in Zilong because of a momentary negligence.
The next thing was easy to do, Fei Lianbo did not lose his word, after Zilong escorted a group of private soldiers and tribal leaders back to the city, the leader of Fei Lianda simply stamped his own seal on a newspaper.
After the report was submitted to the imperial court, Zilong was the official owner of Funiu Ridge in Tugu Mountain, this was just a formality, and Zilong could now take people back to start the construction of his fiefdom.
And the people of Funiuzhai and others officially got the **** of the tribal alliance, and since then they have been whitewashed, and they are no longer wanted by the imperial court.
As for the seized materials and the slaves left behind by the barberry village, Fei Lianbo didn't even ask, for him, it was nothing at all.
What's more important is that these tribal leaders in front of him, Fei Lianbo unexpectedly listened to Zilong's advice, and did not pursue the previous leaders' disobedience.
It's just that the most promising heirs of the children of each family are left by their side, and they are taken care of in the name of beauty, and as for the truth, everyone understands.
Helan Xiao was so angry that he vomited blood, but fortunately, as the old saying goes, good people don't live long, Helan Xiao really has a long-lived and hundred-year-old face, and he actually survived this hurdle.
Fei Lianbo was very merciful, and did not ask for Helan Xiao's life, but just abolished his whole family as slaves, as for Helan Clan, Fei Lianbo gave it to Zilong very generously.
Zilong actually didn't want it at all, but under the various hints of the Niu brothers, Zilong still accepted it, his purpose was very simple, just to let there be someone around him who could take care of food and daily life.
After pushing away Fei Lianbo's hard work, Zilong finally set foot on the road back to Funiu Village.
Back to Funiu Village, oh no, it's time to change the name to Funiu Ridge.
The old and young were simply welcomed, and Niu Yilang directly pushed Zilong to the main seat, looking at the brothers who had experienced great changes with him, Zilong felt as if he suddenly had a home.
And his next task is to plan for the family's tomorrow to the best of his ability.
The Niu brothers were anxious about the old and young brothers of the original Funiu Village, gathered in the square outside the Funiu Village meeting hall, and pushed Zilong to the high platform that everyone focused on and built temporarily.
Zilong looked at the people who had suddenly increased, and then remembered that he had two hundred more slave brothers, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "You don't have to hide your head and shrink your tail in the future!" ”
Originally, the people of Funiu Village suddenly shouted when they heard this, and some even happily hugged the people around them and danced, and some people sang songs on the grassland, making a lot of noise.
But the two hundred slave brothers still looked at Zilong, never happy, and even a little nervous, enslaved for a long time, doing cattle and horses, so that they didn't even have time to force them anything.
Zilong made up his mind, looked at the nervous slaves, Zilong waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "I decided to change the name of Funiu Village to Funiu Village, and everyone will be villagers of this village in the future!" ”
Speaking of this, he raised his hand and drew an arc around the entire Funiu Ridge, and slowly added: "All the land in this range, I will distribute it evenly according to the population of each family, and everyone has their own land. ”
The slaves listened to Zilong for a long time, but they didn't mention them, they were already a little interested, slaves can't have land, Zilong persuaded them to stay at the beginning, it was a good sound, but who dared to believe it?
Their expressions, a trace of the tribe's quilt Zilong saw in his eyes, Zilong suddenly smiled, pointed to the depressed slaves and said, "This is a new member of our Funiu Village, everyone is welcome!" ”
The slaves had already lowered their heads and refused to listen any longer, because they were afraid that their last glimmer of hope would be shattered by the happiness of Zilong and the villagers of Funiu Village.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the cheers that erupted around me, and I couldn't help but raise my head and peek to see that the direction Zilong was pointing in was his side, did he really fulfill the promise he had made?
Still unable to believe this fact for a while, the slaves still could not say a word, and in the cheers of the villagers of Funiu Village, they became more and more cramped.
I don't know who tried to shout the first one, followed by one slave after another, and found that he was really the protagonist of this cheer, a member who had been accepted, and a commoner who had been released from slavery!
The cheers brought another wave of high court, and even some people were so made by this joy that they lost their self-restraint and rushed to the high platform, throwing Zilong high and catching it, throwing it up again, catching it again......
No one thought that they who were labeled as thieves and slaves would be able to have such a sudden appearance, and after the initial discomfort, the slaves also joined the carnival team.
Niu Yilang and Niu Erlang were also stained with Zilong's light, and happily played a trapeze, which was a rare treatment when they were the second master of Funiu Village in the past.
Eventually, the revelry came to an end, although the barberry village originally had its own shelter and the slaves had tents to shelter from the wind and rain.
But now everyone is going to start over here, and the houses are still in short supply for a while, and the newly-born villagers of Funiu Village have unanimously decided to build the best house in Funiu Village for Zilong.
Zilong did not approve of such a decision, but after several pushbacks, it was still difficult to change the hearts of the villagers, so he had to let them go.
A few leaders were selected among the villagers, and Zilong gave his first order as the owner of the Funiuling fiefdom - open up the wasteland!
"Now there is enough space, what are you doing in the wasteland?" Most people have this doubt.
Zilong had to explain to them: "Although grazing can live by water and grass, after all, I am adrift, so I decided to open up the wasteland and plant some rice millet to let everyone settle down." ”
As soon as the words fell, a cold snort was heard.
