Chapter 958: Buying People's Hearts
Ouyang Feng stopped a few people who were about to leave: "Wait." Several people stopped, although they felt that Ouyang Feng, Kong Wu's follower, was a little angry at his shouting, but now the form is different, and they don't want to offend the people around Kong Wu, so they all stopped and looked at Ouyang Feng. Ouyang Feng coughed lightly and said, "What are the names of all of you, and what are the specific positions?" I will write it down and ask the alliance to give you credit." β
Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, this is a good thing that should not be missed, the displeasure in their hearts before disappeared instantly, replaced by a blooming smile and endless gratitude, they knew that although they did not make any contributions to this beast tide, they survived, and continued to be loyal to their duties, this can be regarded as a loyalty and merit, if Kong Wu will really ask for credit for himself, maybe the alliance will transfer himself away from this Jedi that cannot be cultivated, away from this boring place with no oil and water.
One of the overseers who took the lead was the first to reply: "Billy, my lord, I am the overseer Charlotte, and I hope your lord can help me with a few kind words." Ouyang Feng nodded, and the old man on the side took out a piece of paper to write down the information of the overseer, and at the same time, he finally knew that the little minion he was disguised into was called Billy.
A guy dressed in the costume of the captain of the guard squad rushed to say: "Lord Billy, I am the captain of the eighth squad of the guard, York, I took my brothers to resist the beast tide just now, killing no less than twenty beasts, and more than half of my brothers were killed or wounded, I hope that the adults can help report to the alliance and give their families the compensation they deserve." β
Ouyang Feng looked at the blood-stained gauze and tattered leather armor on Xia Luo's body, although he was an enemy, he still won Ouyang Feng's respect. Although in the end they gave up resisting. But that's not the point. Knowing that he can't do it, especially in this form, it's not heroic, it's sick, and what Ouyang Feng values is the dedication of these people, at least they have the courage to resist in the face of the fierce beasts, and this courage is worthy of respect.
Ouyang Feng gently patted Xia Luo's shoulder and said, "Take care of your injuries first, I will do my best if you ask for it, go ahead." Rest well and let the rest be done by others. York nodded gratefully, the look of understanding and appreciation he hadn't seen in years, and secretly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, straightened his back and walked down the wall.
About halfway up the slope, Xia Luo remembered something, turned around and walked back to Wei Canglan's side, and whispered, "Master Kong Wu, um." Some people still have some opinions about you, saying that they will wait for the chief steward to come back. What do you think of this?"
Ouyang Feng and Wei Canglan had expected this result, from the previous attitude of both the patrol team and the guards guarding the gate towards Wei Canglan's bearded face, they could see that many people looked down on the bearded Kong Wu, just because Kong Wu's cousin was the chief steward here, some people would be humble, but even if these people looked down on the bearded man in their hearts, now the form is reversed, the whereabouts of the chief steward Kong Qingshan are unknown, life and death are unknown, Kong Wu, a person who can communicate with the beast, takes over the mining area Although it is the general trend, there will be many people who are not convincedγ
Wei Canglan glanced at the dozens of guards gathered in the tower and pointed in the direction of the city wall, and snorted coldly and said: "I'll deal with this matter, you can bring obedient guards to help maintain order later, by the way, who is the current supreme commander of the guards?"
The captain of the guard squad hesitated for a moment and said, "The captain of the guard, the chief steward, and many captains are gone, and now there are only a few of us squad leaders left, and then there are ordinary guards." β
Wei Canglan nodded and said, "Okay, now I will appoint you as the captain of the brigade and command all the guards, and you can take care of the missing post replenishment and personnel appointments, and then send me a list to report." β
Xia Luo was overjoyed when he heard this, he could be said to have ascended to the sky in one step because of a blessing in disguise, and after standing up and saluting, he strode away with high morale, to gather his subordinates, and prepare to reorganize the guard force and defense system, as for those guys who looked down on him and tended to be inflammatory, he didn't care at all, it was no longer something he could and was willing to participate in, he just thought about how to do his job well and stabilize his hard-won rights and status.
The old man thought of something, and said to Ouyang Feng: "The chief steward Kong Qingshan and the high-level officials don't know where to go, maybe they are all alive, we have to guard against it, in case they suddenly appear, we will be passive." Why don't I send someone to look around?"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "Well, we have to be on guard, otherwise if those guards find Kong Qingshan, it will be really difficult for us to do it." β
Wei Canglan looked coldly at the guards who were not convinced, and said to the old man: "You take people to lock them all up first, and then lock them up in that secret prison first, if they resist, don't forget to kill." β
The old man looked at the dozens of guards gathered together, and said with some concern: "There are a lot of them, and once the fight starts, we won't be able to take advantage of it." β
Ouyang Feng glanced at Qiu Yu running around on the city wall, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll find you a thug." After speaking, he waved to Qiu Yu and shouted: "Qiu Yu, come over for a while." β
Qiu Yu stopped, walked to Ouyang Feng's side with a blinking eye, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "How do you know how to play?" Go, do me a favor, put those guys in the secret prison, if they dare to resist, you will destroy them." β
Qiu Yu said with an embarrassed face: "But, but I have never killed anyone, not even animals, and I don't know how to fight." Ouyang Feng was full of black lines, but he didn't expect this girl to be a paper tiger.
Nangong Tian said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't need to do it, just scare and scare them in the past, and someone will handle other things." Qiu Yu heard that he only let himself scare people, and thought it was very funny, so he nodded again and again, and followed the people of the Huafeng Chamber of Commerce to the group of guards, two huge and sharp hand knives continued to wave, poking out a few holes in the ground from time to time, full of deterrence and momentum.
Not surprisingly, under the threat of the crossbows of Qiu Yu and the guards of the Huafeng Chamber of Commerce, the group of guards obediently put down their few weapons and were imprisoned in the secret prison, and Xia Luo, who had just been promoted to the captain of the team, saw this scene not only did not help his former colleagues, but instead took his subordinates to watch coldly, secretly applauding, without these thorns, his position is a lot more stable, after all, there are several people in those guards whose positions are not lower or even higher than him.
After Qiu Yu came back, he was very relieved and said: "Hmph, let them arrest me, now be honest, haha, I put them all in that iron cage, so many people are crowded together, enough for them to bear." β
Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "What's the matter, revenge tastes good, right?"
Qiu Yu nodded vigorously and said, "Well, it's very good, do you still want me to help?"
Ouyang Feng shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, you go play, and I'll call you again if I have something." Qiu Yu let out a disappointed sigh and started her entertainment life with the monkeys again, and it could be seen that Qiu Yu really liked these little golden monkeys.
The vicinity of the gate had been cleared, and the wagons that had lost their horses had been brought in, and at the sound of Wei Canglan's order, the gate was closed, and the miners, overseers, and guards were also shut down from the outside world.
The carriage was brought by the Huafeng Chamber of Commerce, the goods on the car did not move, the old man took out the crossbow hidden below with the guards, and stored it on the city wall, and the guards also began to rest in shifts, each of them was very excited in their hearts, and they were still a little nervous when they came, not knowing if this dangerous mission could go back alive, but they didn't expect that not only everyone survived, but only a few dozen of them occupied such a large mining area, which was something they never dared to think.
According to the rules of the Holy City, although they have not contributed much in this operation, it is not nothing, if they can really occupy such a large mining area, their reward will definitely not be less, and it is even possible to get a large amount of wealth, when the time comes, they will no longer have to do any guards to live a life of licking blood in the wind and rain all day long, and they can completely settle down, go to the area and city controlled by the Holy City to buy a property, and take their families to enjoy a peaceful life.
Looking at the guards on the city wall who were smiling and whispering together, Ouyang Feng smiled faintly, turned his head and asked Wei Canglan and Nangong Tian: "What should I do next? What else do we have to do?" Wei Canglan and Nangong Tian glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison, they didn't understand these things.
Ouyang Feng was also a half-ass, seeing the two of them shaking their heads, he sighed and said, "It seems that we have to wait for Howard to come back and ask him." After speaking, he walked to the two crossbows that fell near the gate, and muttered dissatisfiedly as he walked: "Jiaolong's goods are really good, and they caused such a big damage before leaving, don't break it, otherwise it will be a pity." β
Jiaolong's tail before leaving is very powerful, Shengsheng tore off the two wind crossbows from the city wall, and broke the bow when he landed, and the two wind crossbows were all scrapped, and it was possible to recover after an overall overhaul, but it is said that the repair materials are not very easy to find, otherwise there would not be only two wind crossbows and five matching crossbow arrows in such an important place.
Looking at the wind crossbow that was no different from two piles of scrap iron, Ouyang Feng was depressed, and found someone to come over and move the seriously damaged wind crossbow to the corner next to it, Ouyang Feng really didn't know what to do.
Looking around the canyon, under the command of a group of overseers and guards, the miners were methodically busy cleaning and cleaning up the wreckage of the war, and the chimney of a building not far away was billowing smoke, apparently someone was preparing breakfast.
There was nothing to do, Ouyang Feng walked to the slope of the city wall and sat next to Zhan Tianhu in a daze: "How is it? Do you feel better?" Zhan Tianhu nodded. (To be continued.) )
