"General, is there anything wrong with this jade seal?" Zhang Wenhe was on the side. When he saw Li Wenhao suddenly stop, the whole team also stopped, and whispered a reminder.
"It's okay, keep going!"
Li Wenhao raised his head and took a look. Zhang Wenhe's expression was natural, so he probably couldn't see the khaki airflow.
While riding his horse forward, he took the ancient jade seal, also known as the Earth Dragon Seal, into his arms.
This thing has to absorb the khaki airflow for three consecutive days, so naturally it cannot be stored in the system space and can only be stored close to the body.
We don’t know yet what effect the Earth Dragon Seal has, we can only wait three days!
"Put down our seeds. For these seeds, my father would starve to death without even taking a bite. You can't take them away!"
"Hurry up, I haven't eaten for three days, believe it or not, I will chop you with a knife!"
"Let's all come together, don't let the thieves steal our seeds!"
"Buzz."
Before Li Wenhao walked out of the city gate, he heard a loud noise. Before he could ask any questions, something dark flew towards him.
"Protect the General!"
Ehu jumped forward, smashed the incoming object into pieces, and dropped it to the ground. Well, it turned around.
"General, let me go take a look!" Wolf Seventeen's figure flashed and he led Black Wolf out of the city gate.
There was a sound of swords falling to the ground, and Wolf Seventeen roared: "Kneel down all, and kill those who act rashly!"
When Li Wenhao walked out of the city gate with a dark face, surrounded by generals, he saw two groups of people kneeling in darkness on the ruins in front of him.
On the ground, there were a few small bags of spilled food and some fallen weapons.
There was a large group, about a hundred people, dressed in ragged clothes and holding various farm tools in their hands. They looked like refugees at first sight.
The other group was smaller in number, only a dozen or so, and each of them had a fierce look in their eyes. No need to guess, they were definitely horse thieves!
"General, we are all here on the run. This gang of horse bandits, they usually bully us, but they also want to steal our seeds. Please make the decision for us, General."
A white-haired old man walked out from the crowd of refugees, kneeling on the ground and kowtow.
"Old man, please wake up!"
Li Wenhao quickly dismounted and helped the old man up: "I already know the whole story, and I will definitely give you justice."
"Thank you, General!" The old man thanked him repeatedly. He seemed to be infected by Li Wenhao's kind attitude and actually started to cry.
"All the refugees' crops are being robbed, and the horse bandits' faces have been completely humiliated by you!"
After appeasing the old man, Li Wenhao turned his head and kicked the leading horse bandit head-on.
"Let go of our boss!"
"Ugh, we haven't eaten for two days!"
"If we don't rob them, will they starve to death?"
The horse bandits struggled for a while, trying to rush over, but they had the scimitar of the Black Wolf Rider hanging around their necks and could not move.
"This is not the territory of Dayou Dynasty, you have nothing to do with it!" Wei Bao, the leader of the horse bandits, got up from the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and stiffened his neck and said.
"I, Li Wenhao, have obeyed His Majesty's decree to conquer the Langya Kingdom. From now on, this Tuke City will be the base of my Fire Crow Army. Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed!"
Li Wenhao shouted loudly, and Wei Bao lowered his head angrily and remained silent. The people do not want to fight with the officials. He understands this.
"General!" Wolf Seventeen came up and whispered: "These horse bandits are weak, and what they said about not eating for two days should be true.
And they had knives in their hands, but they didn't hurt anyone..."
Li Wenhao waved his hand, signaling Wolf Seventeen to step back. He raised his eyes and looked around. After a while, a lot of people gathered around him.
Most of them were refugees, and there were quite a few horse thieves, all watching eagerly.
"I'm new here. If I don't handle this matter well, there will be big consequences."
Li Wenhao looked at the refugees, then at the horse bandits, and thought about it.
Logically speaking, the horse bandits should be killed, not only to establish their authority but also to gain support from a large number of refugees.
But he can't do that!
Tuke City is different from other places in that there are a large number of horse bandits in this area, more than tens of thousands of them.
These horse bandits come and go in small groups like the wind. If they really cause trouble for him, Tuke City will never be peaceful.
Another point is that he plans to recruit the horse bandits to form a cavalry.
Tuke City is located in a plain. The surrounding Turks, Langya people, bandit three-headed eagle, and even Li Wenheng, the eldest son of Li, are all potential enemies. It is impossible without cavalry.
Infantry is easy to recruit, but cavalry is difficult to recruit. Besides, mounts are also a big trouble!
"You really haven't eaten for two days?" Li Wenhao made up his mind and asked.
"General, we really haven't eaten for two days!"
"There are famines everywhere now. We can't rob the big caravans. Even if we have gold, we can't buy food!"
"We took the risk to go hunting in the mountains and were bullied by bandits. We can't eat our mounts!"
The leader of the horse bandits, Wei Bao, was so angry that he didn't speak. The other horse bandits burst into tears and talked a lot.
Even the refugees who were originally angry gradually lost their anger and even started to feel sympathy for each other and wiped away tears.
"Well, I know all your difficulties, and they are all caused by the cruel world.
Now, I promise you that as long as I, Li Wenhao, am here and the Fire Crow Army is here, I will never let any of you starve to death again!"
As Li Wenhao spoke, he pointed to the grain truck behind him with his body and his arm: "Look, what is this!"
"food!"
"Food, yes food, we are saved!"
"This is military rations, there are so many cars!"
"Boom," the scene became lively, and everyone rushed forward excitedly!
"Don't be anxious, everyone, just listen to what I have to say!"
Li Wenhao climbed onto his horse and with a wave of his hand, thirty-one golden-armored warriors stepped forward and stood in a row, firmly blocking the crowd.
Some people who thought they were strong hit the golden armored warrior, and the golden armored warrior's body flashed with golden light, and "bang bang bang," dozens of people were ejected.
"These savages are so powerful, they can't all be cultivators!"
"Look, the equipment they have on them are all mysterious weapons!"
This time, even the most arrogant horse bandits all calmed down and shut up and obeyed.
Li Wenhao continued: "If you want to avoid hunger, there are three things to do!
Article 1: Sign up to join our Fire Crow Army. No matter your origin or past, all refugees and horse bandits can join the army. The new barracks will be fed and managed, and the military salary of ten taels of silver per month can be exchanged for food.
As long as you are loyal enough and after a period of training, you can officially join the Fire Crow Army. In addition to being full and eating meat, you can also receive a Qi and Blood Pill every month!"
"Really or not, with enough food to eat and Qi and Blood Pills, I can also practice?"
"You heard it right, I said there is Qi and Blood Pill, but it is not suitable for new recruits. You have to join the Fire Crow Army, and there is still meat to eat!"
"There is meat to eat. You are lying. I didn't see any meat in the car?"
When they heard that there was meat to eat and there was a Qi and Blood Pill Collar, the whole crowd was in a panic.
Especially in the distance, there are some relatively large gangs of horse bandits. They do have food to eat, but when they heard about the Qi and Blood Pills, they couldn't help but breathe harder and their eyes became eager.
(It’s a trial period for salaries. Please help those who have tickets throw in a few and add them to your collection. Thank you.)
