() The bodies of Zhong Shan and a dozen of his cronies were placed on the playground in the city guard barracks. More than 400 city guard soldiers were ordered to gather on the playground to "observe" Zhong Shan and his
The corpses of his trusted subordinates. The whole scene was silent, no one dared to make any noise. The thick smell of blood spread across the playground, affecting the mood of every city guard soldier.
Luo Manduo's tactic of killing chickens to scare monkeys was very effective. He transported Zhong Shan and others' bodies to the city guard barracks. What he wanted was to let those who questioned and challenged his authority see what happened to Zhong Shan and others!
Luo Manduo, Hua Dang and dozens of Remu warriors stood opposite more than 400 city guard soldiers. Luo Manduo's eyes scanned the faces of every city guard soldier, but there was no city guard.
The army soldiers dared him to look directly at him. They had heard the stories of the survivors who came back from the market. The impression of Luo Manduo in their minds was no longer just that of a city lord, but also a "cruel" impression. This
It made them feel afraid. Just yesterday, even before Zhong Shan died, many people in the city guards questioned Luo Manduo's authority, and some were even disdainful and provocative, but now these people have
There is only fear.
Reasoning? Reasoning is also a means of persuading people, but Luo Manduo prefers to use his fists or his knife to reason.
"I won't say more about what happened. You know it very well in your heart." Luo Manduo broke the oppressive silence, "Before, you were Zou Xin's subordinates, and Zou Xin was killed by me.
Yesterday, you were still Zhongshan's subordinates, and now, Zhongshan has been killed by me. Being my enemy is what you will end up with. Do any of you still want to oppose me? Come forward and let us solve the problem cleanly."
No one dared to stand up.
In fact, Luo Manduo himself did not realize that since he came to this mysterious world and experienced so many things, he is no longer the young man in that world who graduated from high school but did not go to college. His strength
He is growing, his mind is growing, and his character is also changing. This is not because he is cruel or bloodthirsty in his heart, but because this world full of violence and killing has slowly changed him.
The environment can shape a person and also change a person. This is an eternal truth.
Looking at the matter at hand from another angle, if he was not ruthless and powerful enough, then it would not be Zhongshan and the others lying on the ground, but him, Luo Manduo.
Looking at all the city guards again, Luo Manduo smiled again, "It seems that none of you want to be my enemy, which is good. I have always been very good to my own people, just this morning
, I also gave the brothers of the Hurricane Regiment and these brothers of the Remu Tribe a gold coin each, and let them go drink and play with women. If you are as loyal to me as they are, you will also get such a reward."
Adding a stick and a carrot, coercion and inducement, is a very simple method, but it is also the most effective method.
Hearing that each of the prisoners who had just been released from the dungeon was given a gold coin, the soldiers of the city guard immediately started talking, with a strong sense of envy and jealousy. You know, a gold coin is worth a lot to an ordinary city guard.
For the guards soldiers, that was already more than half a year's salary. Even the veterans who first joined the city guards had never received such generous rewards. However, the new city lord simply rewarded the prisoners with one reward each.
A gold coin!
The generosity of the new city lord surprised the soldiers of the city guard, and many people began to curse Zhong Shan and Zou Xin. The remaining feeling of rejecting Luo Mando in their hearts began to disintegrate.
"I said you joined the City Guards just to make money to support your family and honor your parents? But the salary given to you by the previous city lord was really too low? Even a vendor in the market earns more than you.
There are a lot of people, but you are doing hard work with your head in your hands. I am not a mean person, on the contrary - I am a very generous person! From today on, I will double your salary. If you perform well
"Those who complete the tasks will be rewarded!" Luo Manduo said loudly.
The soldiers of the City Guards had seen such a thing in their dreams, but they didn't even dare to think about it in reality. Luo Manduo suddenly brought it up, and a feeling of surprise suddenly filled every City Guardsman.
The soldiers' hearts arose. They were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers.
An alert city guard captain took the lead and shouted: "Luo Manduo! Luo Manduo! Luo Manduo!"
Someone responded at the beginning, and more than 400 city guard soldiers shouted in unison, "Luo Manduo! Luo Manduo! Luo Manduo! Luo Manduo..."
The cheers that happened in the market reappeared in the city guard barracks. The roars of the soldiers were much more orderly and more powerful than those of the common people in the market.
Luo Manduo raised his right arm high, and the more than 400 city guard soldiers suddenly became quiet again. He then said: "Zhong Shan is dead, and the city guard army needs a new leader. I have decided that the leader of the Remu clan will be the leader."
A warrior named Hua Dang will serve as the commander of the city guard. As for the captain and commander under the command, the personnel will not change. The city guard will also be joined by a Remu team composed of warriors from the Remu tribe.
We will work with you to defend our city. Do you have any opinions?"
Have an opinion? Look at the bodies of Zhong Shan and others lying on the ground. Even if these city guard soldiers have great opinions, they dare not express them. What's more, they don't actually contradict Luo Manduo's decision in their hearts.
First of all, the salary has doubled, and secondly, the original captains and general personnel have not changed, and the rights and interests of some of them will not be shaken. Besides, things like Zhongshan's rebellion happened, Luo
There hasn't been a bloody purge in Manduo. Even if their ancestors showed up to bless them, how can they dare to have any opinions?
It is also a deliberate arrangement to incorporate the Remu warriors and soldiers headed by Hua Dang into the city guard. The Remu people monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers of the city guard. If an officer leads his men to rebel,
The power of the Remu tribe can also destroy it. In this way, his control over the city guards will be more secure.
In this way, on the same day that he killed Zhong Shan, Luo Manduo completely took control of the military force of the city guard.
After handling the affairs of the city guards, Luo Manduo returned to the city lord's palace.
Looking up, Luo Manduo stopped and suddenly said to Zang Fen, "Find someone to replace the plaque with the five characters "Zhongyong City Lord's Mansion" on the lintel of the gate."
"Sir, what kind of plaque is it?" Zang Fen asked.
"Hmm..." Luo Manduo touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Just 'Ren Jian City Lord's Mansion in the Sky'."
"The city lord's palace in the sky?" Zang Fen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Ha! Your Excellency is so literary! This name has a meaning!"
Luo Manduo smiled nonchalantly, walked in the door, and muttered: "Zang Fen must not know about the people in the sky of my motherland..."
Back in the room, there were glittering gold coins and several treasure boxes. The white jade mushroom lay quietly in a treasure box, and Jin Ling'er could not be seen where in it. However, Luo Manduo knew
The "Fire Rib Bible" was pressed under a pillow at the head of the bed. This was also the first time that he did not bring the "Fire Rib Bible" with him. There was nothing that could be done about it. Jin Ling'er had to recuperate among the white jade mushrooms.
, absorbing spiritual energy, but she could not leave the two hundred meters range of the "Fire Rib Bible", and Luo Manduo could not walk around outside holding a white jade spirit mushroom, so he could only temporarily put the "Fire Rib Bible"
》Stay in the house.
The gold coins were good, and so were the other treasures, but the curly hair on the treasure box was an eyesore. Luo Manduo got a fire implement and burned the curly hair on the treasure box. Burning the hair
The smell spread in the room, and he frowned when he smelled it. Then, his attention fell on the treasure box containing metal fragments and animal skin fragments.
"These metal fragments are fragments of a knife. These animal skin fragments have no content and are missing some key parts. They cannot be pieced together. What is the connection between the two when they are placed in a treasure box? Zou Bituo originally placed
Are they placed in a treasure box just for the convenience of collection?" Luo Manduo's heart was full of conjectures. Zou Bituo was dead, and some secrets followed him to hell.
Luo Manduo wanted to piece together the fragments of these knives, reforge them, and connect them, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. If a knife is broken into pieces like this, it is considered a peerless sword.
It is also easy to break into pieces again due to collision. When fighting with such a knife, if it explodes at a critical moment, it will be fatal.
Luo Manduo spent some time packing the gold coins into the box, and then took a bite of the white jade mushroom to refine the spiritual energy. During this time, Jin Ling'er still showed no sign of coming out. He also had no intention of forcibly waking her up.
There are too many things to do now, and Jin Ling'er can't help with these things.
"Master, master." Tang Ji's voice sounded outside the door.
Luo Manduo walked out and saw not only Tang Ji, but also many delicate and pretty female slaves and strong male slaves. Dozens of slaves stood in the yard with their heads bowed, not daring to look directly at his face.
The slaves were all bought by Zang Fen in the market. Most of them were young female slaves, and there were less than ten male slaves. It was a scene of yin and yang in decline.
"Sir, these slaves have just been delivered. I don't know how to arrange them, so I want to ask your opinion." Tang Ji said.
Luo Manduo smiled and said: "Why do you ask me these little things? From now on, you will be my housekeeper, and all the slaves will be under your control. You can do whatever you want these slaves to do without asking me."
"Me?" Tang Ji said fondly: "Am I the housekeeper?"
"I said you are, you are." Luo Manduo said. Just because of Tang Ji's good oral sex, this butler's position is worth it.
"Thank you, Master!" Tang Ji smiled as brightly as a flower, and she added: "Most of these slaves are children of wealthy families from Dayan City. They are different from ordinary slaves.
They are all very capable, and it will be troublesome to discipline them, but I will take good care of them."
"Well, take them to get familiar with the environment. From now on, they will become members of this family." Luo Manduo said.
"Okay, sir." Tang Ji responded, and then left with a large group of slaves.
Several female slaves turned around and glanced at Luo Mando quietly when they turned to leave. These slave women were the slave women Luo Mando had seen in the market. They even showed their beauty to Luo Mando under the scolding of the slave traders.
breasts.
Luo Manduo frowned at them, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked as frivolous as possible, and several slave girls couldn't match his eyes and quickly turned their heads away.
"Haha, it seems that I have to find a tailor quickly and customize beautiful maid skirts and uniforms for them." Luo Manduo thought happily.
I practiced sword skills, the water-cutting style and the fog burial style.
Zang Fen appeared in the courtyard, holding a big red post in his hand.
"Sir, Duanmukong has sent an invitation. His father will celebrate his sixtieth birthday in ten days. He invites you to drink birthday wine." Zang Fen said simply and clearly.
"Invite me to celebrate his father's birthday?" Luo Manduo said with a smile, "Isn't he afraid that his father will lose his birthday?"
Zang Fen came over and lowered his voice and said: "Duanmukong told me personally. I must tell you, sir, that this birthday banquet is a murderous birthday banquet. The servant of Zhan De will assassinate you at the birthday banquet. He said,
Sir, you can find any reason to refuse. I think this is also the reason why he sent the invitation so early. He is giving you time to prepare, Sir."
The person holding the Hongmen Banquet clearly told him that it was the Hongmen Banquet, and told him that he could find any excuse not to go. This was very absurd. However, from Duanmukong's perspective, even his family and life were in Jin Ling'er's hands.
Luo Manduo's life was in his hands, but Duan Mukong had to do this. Now, even if Jin Ling'er asked him to betray the Netherworld God's Religion, he would betray the Netherworld God's Religion without hesitation.
"Sir, what excuse do you want to use to refuse?" Zang Fen asked.
Luo Manduo shook his head, "No, we are going, and we are going in a grand way."
One of Pan Shen's fist armors is at Duanmu's house, so it's worth the risk.
