Section 97 Co-optation

When I walked out of the room, the sun had already risen. Looking at the golden rays projected on the recesses of the mountains in the distance, Pingjun felt warm and comfortable.

His body no longer trembled, but his nostrils were sour, and he wanted to cry.

Pyeongjoon once thought he was dead.

Unexpectedly, there would be a day to become the head of a hundred.

Looking at the golden sun in the distance, he secretly swore a poisonous oath.

Chief, I will always be loyal to you.

……

The sunlight also shrouded Qinglong Village, but the golden light of the same nature did not make the people here feel the slightest warmth.

Haoping hurried from his home to the gate of the stockade, and saw from a distance that there were hundreds of people lined up outside. The samurai in the front row wore steel armor and carried round shields and spears. The one in the back row is dressed in half-body armor and holds a long-handled battle axe of astonishing size and great lethality.

The gate of the fortress was open, and the military formation slowly moved towards the stockade. They were unanimous and unbelievably neat. Everyone stepped on their left foot and then their right foot at the same time, and the white snow was quickly trampled into dirty mud, but these machine-like creatures remained unmoved, continuing to shorten the distance between them and the gate.

"Who are they?"

"Why open the door? Close it, close it quickly. ”

"Why didn't you send a warning signal? Where's the Sentinel? ”

After a brief period of confusion, news spread through the panicked crowd.

The neat and tidy team outside came from Panshi Village.

This is not a war, nor is it a fight between villages. They sent liaison officers, presented documents signed by the tribal chief, and two heralds from Thunderhorn City.

The entire Qinglong Village was filled with chaos, and panicked expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Countless mouths are asking "what to do", and countless eyes are focused on Haoping's seven "hundred heads".

This is a time when someone in charge needs to step up. However, the imaginary picture of someone ascending the heights and shouting to make a decision did not appear until the Panshi Zhai army strode into the village, assigned archers to occupy the wall and watchtower, and asked everyone in Qinglong Village to assemble in the central square...... Not a single hundred heads stepped forward. Including Haoping, they all looked at the visitor with puzzled eyes.

"Hao? What are you doing here? Haoping's eyes were sharp, and he saw Tianhao, who was surrounded by several tall and burly guards and walked out of the crowd. He couldn't help but smile and hurried to greet him.

Tianhao nodded slightly to Haoping, didn't speak, and took a step to the side, making room for a middle-aged man in a black leather robe.

When Niu Weibang left, he left behind two heralds. They will assist Tianhao to complete the follow-up work of the acquisition of Qinglongzhai.

The authority of the documents stamped with the tribal chiefs is unquestionable, there are no long and cumbersome words of the civilized era, and the language is so simple that it does not give people biased and misleading thinking.

"From now on, Qinglong Village will be attributed to Panshi Village, and no one shall object."

Loud voices immediately popped up from the crowd, like a virus, rapidly expanding and infecting everyone.

"We were co-opted by Rock Village?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"What about Liangdong? Didn't he go to Thunderhorn City to report his life to the king? How did it become like this now? ”

No one knows what's going on, but it's a time when everyone wants to figure out why.

Haoping squeezed to the front with great difficulty, he relied on his acquaintance with Tianhao, got closer, smiled all over his face, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Hao, what's wrong?" Why did the king give such an order? ”

"Liangdong angered the king, and he committed an unpardonable sin. The king has ordered him to be stripped of his position as the head of a thousand people, and Qinglong Village is now classified as Panshi Village, and I am your new leader. ”

The explanation is simple, but very scary.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with the mark of a hundred heads on his left arm, strode up to Tianhao and asked indignantly, "How can the king be like this?" Even if our leader is at fault, for the sake of our capture of Mengxiang Village, at least the merits should be offset by the merits! ”

"Offset by merit and demerit?" Tianhao looked at him calmly, and replied like a whip: "It's just a deer clan village, and it took so long for Liangdong to attack it. Not to mention the loss of soldiers, they didn't grab food, they didn't have cloth, and they didn't even catch a few people. Hum! Is this considered meritorious? ”

The middle-aged man didn't expect Tianhao to know so much about the situation, he suddenly felt speechless, and was searching for suitable words to refute, but Tianhao didn't give him a chance, walked directly past him, took the iron microphone from the guards, and issued orders to everyone.

"You have half a day to pack up your things, and then follow me to the rock village."

Numerous voices of protest and discontent immediately resounded around them.

"No, I'm not going anywhere, this is my home."

"I don't believe this is the king's order, you must be lying to me."

"I'm going to Thunderhorn City to meet the King."

A tall, lanky man stepped forward, his tone flat but threatening.

"Young man, don't be so anxious, the leader of Qinglong Village is Liangdong, I advise you to go back to Panshi Village first. Be a little patient, and we'll wait until our leader returns. ”

Tianhao looked at him: "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Changmao, and I am the head of the hundred people here." Looking at Tianhao, who was much younger than himself, a trace of contempt flashed in Changmao's eyes: "Adoption is not as simple as you imagined. I still say the same thing: if Liangdong doesn't come back, this matter will not be discussed. ”

"Liangdong?" Tianhao suddenly burst into a shrill laugh: "Are you sure? ”

He turned sideways and glanced at Xu Kun, who was standing behind, who nodded knowingly, picked up the object he had been holding in his hand, and lifted the gray cloth covering the surface.

It was a cage made of vines with a human head inside. In front of everyone, Xu Kun opened the cage, grabbed the deceased's hair, and raised his hand to hold it high.

It's a good house!

In extreme shock, all the noise disappeared.

Changmao raised his head, staring blankly at the familiar face frozen in the cold wind. A frightening gray-white complexion, thick lips with white frost, eyelashes frozen, eyelids completely upturned, and cloudy colors that took over the entire eye socket.

"You may refuse to accept the king's orders. Liangdong is the best role model. ”

Tianhao's voice was extremely fierce, and Haoping felt as if he was facing a stranger he had never dealt with before: "Now, immediately pack up their personal belongings, and the warehouse supervisor will clean up all the reserves in the stockade, and the delivery must be completed before noon." Violators...... Kill! ”

……

A strong iron fist overwhelmed all doubts, and Ai Ai's resistance was doomed to have no future. Liang Dong's head was hung on a high pole, not far from the ground, and everyone could see his face and know that it was the former leader of the stockade.

Panshi Village welcomed a group of male immigrants.

The co-optation process is actually quite simple. The die-hard diehards are in the minority after all. The reason why I want to stay in Qinglongzhai and refuse to leave is because I have lived there for a long time and feel that Panshi Village is poor and has a low standard of living.

The hot meatloaf gagged his mouth, and the voice of dissatisfaction completely retracted into his stomach.

Cotton clothes are much more comfortable to wear on the body than animal skins, and no one will refuse to be given cloth for free.

Everyone is broken up and rooms are allocated according to the principle of one household. When more than 500 strong men get together, it is easy to cause trouble, and it is difficult to gather when they are dispersed. Anyway, everyone is a cow tribe, and there are empty houses in the rock village.

Tianhao feasted all the 100 heads of Qinglong Village, the meal was prepared very richly, and the amount of wine was very large.

Ignoring the hostile and angry eyes in the room, he walked up to Hohei with a bowl of wine and gave a warm toast.

"Brother Haoping, don't see outside, and treat Panshi Village as your own home in the future. Don't think too much, good buildings are good buildings, you are you. The king ordered me to take charge of Qinglong Village, and I will need your help in the future. ”

The style of speech and attitude are completely different from those in Qinglong Village, and it is more of a negotiated tone, without strong and cold orders. This made Haoping's tense and vigilant heart slowly fall, and he felt that things should not be what he had guessed before.

After a round of drinking, the atmosphere in the room immediately became warm.

"This young man from Panshi Village is good, at least he still understands some truth."

"That is, I heard him say just now that in the future, our authority will remain the same, what it was like when we were in Qinglong Village, and what it is now. If that's the case, then we'll still make it. ”

"Yes! Panshi Village is much richer than Qinglong Village. Look at the people here, they are all clothed in their leather robes. Before the change, can we have these things? ”

"This meatloaf is delicious! Taste it. And this wine...... Tut-tut, I haven't drunk wine for many years, and in the future, this rock village will be our world, there will be good wine and meat every day, eat as much as you want, drink as you like, hahahaha......"

Tianhao and Haoping talked for a while and left the room. Without him, the leader of the village, watching at the scene, the stewards of Qinglong Village became more and more unscrupulous. The alcohol is on the head, and the whole body becomes hot, anyway, there are no outsiders here, and you can say anything.

Changmao drank several bowls of wine, and the meatloaf and barbecue tasted good, and he ate a lot in one go, his stomach was swollen, and his lower abdomen released a strong urge to urinate. Drunk, he stepped over his companion who was discussing the blueprint for a better life in the future, muttered meaninglessly, pushed open the door, and walked out half-crooked.

The cold wind blowing on his face made him sober up for the most part, and an indescribable arrogance and contempt spread in Changmao's heart.

Hum! Young people are all fucking rubbish! The king ordered the incorporation of Qinglongzhai, such a good opportunity is not needed, but he wants to encircle the heads of a hundred people, including himself...... Speaking of which, Liangdong is a ruthless man, if he didn't have his fierce and arrogant energy, he wouldn't have ruled Qinglongzhai for so many years.

People are dead, and it is immoral to speak ill of people behind their backs. But Changmao is not optimistic about Tianhao, he feels that he can replace him. The men in Qinglong Village are all warriors, and on the surface they break them up, but as long as they say a word, they can gather people together. When the time comes, find an excuse to openly challenge Tianhao, and those who know each other will step down and give up the position of leader, and those who don't know each other will fight with him to let him know that he is powerful.

Standing outside the house to pee, the feeling of a tight and swollen abdomen gradually disappeared, and the whole person became hearty.

It was dusk, the sky had not yet darkened, and many people around them came and went, frowning and pointing at Changmao, who was standing in public and unscrupulously.

Tianhao forced the implementation of toilets in Panshi Village, and no one would do this in public now.

The gaze from the surroundings made Chang Mao very unhappy, and he suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "What are you looking at?" Look at Lao Tzu gouging out your eyeballs again. Damn, haven't you ever seen a man pee? ”

He didn't notice the women walking into the room behind him.

Ah Mei came from the opposite road with a pot of fish.

Changmao's eyes lit up immediately.

It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman. The facial features are very upright, there is a charm between the eyebrows and eyes, the plump figure is simply drooling, the skin is very white, and the buttocks naturally twist when walking, just like two soft balls squeezing and rubbing against each other, driving the waist to form just the right angle, forming a beautiful painting.

Changmao immediately pounced.

This kind of thing is not a big deal in his opinion. Qinglongzhai is a man's world, and Liangdong never asks about things between men and women. Anyway, I took a fancy to catch it and take it home, and I could get it whatever I wanted behind closed doors. For many years, the women of Qinglong Village have come and gone several times, and there are actually few who have stayed in the village to get married. They either died or were sold.

Ah Mei didn't notice Changmao, who was as fierce as a wolf, and she screamed and knocked over the basin in her hand, and several cleaned fish fell to the ground. Chang Mao grabbed her arm, couldn't help but tear off her leather robe, leaned down, and flexibly passed her right hand through the crook of Ah Mei's legs, holding her across the leader and carrying her on her shoulders.

There are a lot of people around, and Changmao's skin is not thick enough to do that kind of thing publicly. He plans to take Ah Mei back to the room to clean up, he has never met such a beautiful girl when she is so big, if she doesn't clean up well tonight, Lao Tzu's name will be written upside down.

Changmao didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Lao Tzu is the head of a hundred, this is my power!

The crowd immediately erupted in angry shouts.

"Go and call Ah Ping, someone has arrested Ah Mei."

"Stop him, can't let him go. That guy is from Qinglong Village, catch him! ”

"Call the guards, and go and inform the chiefs and priests that something is wrong!"

Several men blocked Changmao's way, he stared at the opposite side with his eyes wide, and punched Ah Mei, who was struggling and crying on his shoulder, raised his fist demonstratively, and scolded vaguely with a drunken inarticulation: "...... I don't care about you...... You guys...... Want to fight? ”

Without waiting for several men on the other side to answer, the door of the banquet hall behind Changmao slammed open from the inside, and a frightened woman screamed and escaped.
