"Beheaded." Wu Gen sat on the horse and looked at Xue Xin standing on the ground expressionlessly.
Behind him, two people were tied behind their backs and kneeling on the ground. These two were human beings who were kidnapped to Kuntian Continent and joined the team after being rescued by Wu Gen and others.
The two men cowered when they fought, and finally turned around and ran away, but were captured after the war.
"Master of the village, we have few human beings here. Can we punish them with a stick and let them perform meritorious service to see the consequences?" Xue Xin suggested carefully.
Wu Gen narrowed his eyes and threw the broken knife in front of Xue Xin, "In my place, there is no distinction between herdsmen and humans. They are all members of the army. We have made a three-kill agreement before the war. Could it be because they are humans? It's special. If I give in the first time, there will be a second time later. If things continue like this, this team will collapse in our hands sooner or later.
Xue Xin, take my knife and take off the heads of two people. Let everyone come and watch. If you violate military discipline in the future, you will end up like this. "After saying that, Wu Gen turned around and looked at the distant mountain top without looking at Xue Xin.
Yang Zheng winked at Xue Xin. After all, he had the responsibility of supervising the army. Today, I was persuaded by Xue Xin, so I came together to find Wu Gen to intercede, but I didn't expect that this man would be so merciless.
Xue Xin picked up the broken knife, looked at Wu Gen, and said with a heavy hand, "Xue Xin accepts the order."
Calling everyone together, Xue Xin walked toward the two kneeling men with a knife. Seeing that there was no hope of survival, the two men either begged or cursed.
Xue Xin took off a hammer from the body of the person next to him and hit the two of them hard on their mouths. Blood and teeth flew everywhere, and the sound stopped suddenly.
Pulling out the broken knife, Xue Xin walked behind the two of them, glanced coldly at the onlookers, raised the knife in his hand, and dropped the two good men's heads.
Grabbing the two heads, Xue Xin turned around and showed them to the surroundings, "Anyone who violates military discipline in the future will be punished with the same fate as these two."
For a moment, there was silence all around, except for the horse kicking uneasily.
Ha Bao was still a little secretly happy. The ones who escaped today were human beings. None of the herdsmen flinched, but seeing their heads dripping with blood, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He secretly glanced at Wu Gen, who seemed to be admiring the mountain scenery with an expressionless face, and the fear in his heart worsened.
It has to be said that this person's power in the team is a little more powerful. No matter the shepherds or the human race, no one dares to be disobedient in the slightest.
In this robbery and killing of this convoy transporting goods, including the two people who were beheaded, although eleven people died, the harvest was quite rich. A lot of fine wine, rare treasures, and spiritual herbs were harvested, as well as gold and silver. Didn't see much.
After cleaning the battlefield and disposing of the corpses, in addition to rewards for those who participated in the battle, Wu Gen ordered his people to take the excess things back to Shixing Village and Lingyun Village, and continued to wander around Bailing Province to attract the attention of herdsmen. To prevent his two strongholds from being exposed.
Just like this, he took in some poor herdsmen while fighting, and rescued the plundered humans from time to time. Not only did Wu Gen's team not decrease, but it remained at about a hundred people.
Especially once, Wu Gen was very surprised when he found seven or eight blacksmiths among the humans he rescued, and one named Qu Tong was good at making weapons.
For a long time, most of the weapons in the team were captured or provided by Ansijia and Bailijia. It would be best if they could be self-sufficient. Besides, Tianyuan Continent is famous for its weapon casting, which is much better than that of Kuntian Continent.
For this reason, Wu Gen deliberately found a third stronghold, near an iron mine, and arranged for these people to settle here to build weapons specifically for the team, and gave the place the name Blade.
The three strongholds are arranged in an arc around Hengmen Port. This is also a front that Wu Gen has worked hard to prepare for returning to Tianyuanzhou in the future.
At the same time, Wu Gen also asked Zhong Lei to help the shepherds reclaim wasteland, grow food, and reduce dependence on several families.
Taking advantage of An Sijia's power, he also found a way to open a car dealership in Hengmen Port. He helped others transport goods on weekdays. As his own spy, Yang Zheng was responsible for these.
Seeing that the products in several strongholds were increasing, and adding the stolen goods, Wu Gen established contact with several companies, traded with each other, and gradually established his own supply system.
Many measures are taken to reduce dependence on others and avoid being controlled by others. In Wu Gen's mind, he would have to leave this place sooner or later, and he needed to leave himself a relatively stable rear.
As time went by, Wu Gen's team gradually gained some reputation due to its guerrilla activities in various places. Since there are many races in the team, and they are all masked or wearing visors, they are nicknamed the Tailless Thieves.
It's not that no one wants to take this power, but due to the vast terrain of Kuntian Continent and the many hiding places, plus the fact that these people have good combat prowess, the families are helpless against them, and they become Zuo Heng. Lu Ke is an invisible force that can counter the small families.
If the shepherd's rules were followed, such a force could occupy a piece of territory, form a new family, and formally build a city and temple. But Wu Gen had a special status, so he did not and did not want to be treated like this. Instead, he scattered his forces in various places, living in no fixed place, and leading tailless thieves to wander around.
In this case, although life will be a little more miserable, the shepherd will not be burdened with everything.
On this day, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng were riding horses on the grassland. The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked, feeling quite happy. These days, his power is growing day by day. Not only has he gained a firm foothold, but his momentum is also very good. Many low-level shepherds or escaped humans have joined the team.
These people were already poor and helpless or might be caught and sold for money at any time, but they suddenly found shelter. Regardless of whether they were tailed people or tailless people, they were quite loyal to Wu Gen.
As for the relationships with several other families, except for the close connection with the Ansi family, most of them are business dealings with the other two families, which cannot be said to be good or bad.
However, Bailisu had some complaints against Wu Gen because of some things he had asked the Baili family for too harshly. But because of the common opponent of the Mo Zhi family, the two sides did not have much conflict on the surface.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng were heading to Jinfu City, the main city of the Mo Zhi family. For such a long time, the Mo Zhi family had been losing blood, so the Mo Zhi family sent a large number of people out to protect their pastures, tribes, and businesses. The road actually weakened the defense of the main city a lot.
But Mo Zhitai is not worried. There are many people in Jinfu City, and a few bandits are just harassing them. They have absolutely no ability to attack the city and seize the stronghold. Smaller cities may not be able to defeat it, let alone a big city like Jinfu City.
Wu Gen came here lightly this time because he and Yang Zheng conspired with the rear to decide. The Mozhi family was frequently disturbed, and they already suspected that other families were causing trouble.
This time Mo Zhitai personally led 800 troops and went straight to Baili's house, asking him to give up a large piece of good pasture. The Baili family didn't want to give up so easily. The Qi family also sent some people to cheer for the Baili family. The two sides are currently facing off.
Bailisu contacted Wu Gen urgently, hoping that Wu Gen could send people to harass Mo Zhitai's retreat, and several parties worked together to force him to retreat.
Wu Genzi didn't want to draw chestnuts from his fire, but he remembered a clue provided by An Siyuan last time.
That is, there is an ancestor of the Mozhi family. Due to years of using the devouring method, his mind has become somewhat unclear. He is locked up in a secret room somewhere in the main city to prevent him from harming his clan members.
In fact, Wu Gen has been trying to find a way to curb the shepherd's devouring method for a long time, but he has never been able to find a reason. The two of them went to Jinfu City this time, taking advantage of the fact that most of the Mo Zhi family members were away, and took the opportunity to do something interesting.
As for the confrontation between the Baili family and the Mozhi family, what does it have to do with blowing out the brains?
Of course, in order to enter the city smoothly, the two of them also made some disguises, pretending to be members of a tribe affiliated with the Mozhi family. Anyway, a bunch of nameplates were seized earlier, which can be used just right.
When they arrived at Jinfu City, Wu Gen and the others realized that these methods were completely useless. After stuffing a few pieces of silver, the guard looked at the nameplate and let them in.
After entering the city, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng did not need to find the location of Mo Zhi's family. A high fortress in the center of the city has told everyone that the owner of this city lives here.
Along with the main dock, there are four smaller docks surrounding it. Such a strong defense really made Wu Gen and others speechless.
How many people would it take to capture the outer city wall plus the Wubao in the city? No wonder the Mo Zhi family dared to take away most of their troops.
In addition to the Mozhi family's Wubao, the layout of the city is also very interesting. It is divided into areas, and each area has houses, shops, markets, etc., making it look like a relatively independent world.
After asking around, I found out that there were many small tribes of the Mozhi family living in the city. Since they came from different places, people from neighboring tribes gathered together to create their own urban areas, separate from other tribes. This is consistent with the custom of the older generation of shepherds who were born as nomads. Even if they live in the city, they are still somewhat alienated.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng found an inn close to Mo Zhijia Wubao, paid the money and stayed. This inn is quite luxurious, and most of the people visiting it are wealthy people.
After running around in the wild for many days, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng got rid of their past stingy habits and asked for two private rooms upstairs.
For three days in a row, apart from occasionally going out to relax, the two of them stayed in the room to observe the movements of Wubao. According to An Sijia's information, this crazy ancestor was locked up in a dungeon and was monitored at all times.
And it is said that this ancestor has already reached the fifth level of cultivation, but when he tried to attack a higher level, he felt a little exhausted, so he ate more than a dozen tailless sheep. As a result, he went crazy, lost his mind, and was injured. They met many people from the Mozhi family. In desperation, the Mozhi family had no choice but to lock him up.
Wu Gen's idea was to release this ancestor, so as to bring trouble to the family. A fire broke out at home, which put Mo Zhitai in a dilemma. Didn't this also help the Baili family?
Because the wall of Wubao was too high, except for the main building in the middle, the two could not see clearly what was going on inside the fort. They had to count the people entering and exiting Wubao and the vehicles transporting food every day to estimate the number of people in the fort.
"I counted the carriages that transport food in and out of Wubao every day. The food is enough to feed more than two hundred people." In the room, Yang drew a rough shape of Wubao on paper on the table, "And, look at this place." As he spoke, he pointed to the Xiaowu Fort next to the Main Fort.
"The people locked up here are all human beings. Since the stone wall is not high, I counted carefully. There are more than two hundred human beings inside, and about twenty people are sent to the main dock every day. This means. "
Wu Gen interjected: "That is to say, there are at least twenty people with cultivation, but this does not include other people who do not use human cultivation. It is difficult to handle. There are so many experts, and it is really difficult to sneak in. Moreover, After entering, we need to find out what the terrain is inside and where the ancestor is being held."
"Yes." Yang Zheng scratched his head, and his originally bloated belly became much smaller. In normal times, in addition to marching and fighting, Yang Zheng was also responsible for contacting various families, arranging detailed work, running workshops and many other chores, but he was very tired.
Wu Gen was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, so all the chores were placed on him, and his fat body lost a lot of weight.
"How about I try to pretend to be a food delivery boy and go inside." Yang Zheng said hesitantly.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Gen patted the other party's shoulder gently.
"I'm just suggesting, not yet... Oh, forget it, I'll go ahead and finally know how the cow died."
