Six hundred and thirty-two bandits.
Among them, there are twelve second-rate warriors, thirty-seven third-rate warriors and one hundred and twenty-four quasi-martialists. The rest have practiced a little external skills, or simply have no external skills at all, and only know a few crops. Ordinary people.
The twelve second-rate warriors were the twelve masters of the original village. Among them, Li Qiang, the strongest one, was killed by Xu Yi. Seven of the remaining eleven people rushed up, and then, they were finished by Xu Yi. The achievement of seven kills with one sword.
With the help of 'seven kills with one sword', he killed seven masters. Xu Yi also successfully frightened all the bandits and started his own 'Qingtian' fair operation.
In this action, Chen Deshan, the head of the Chen family, whose status was no worse than that of Li Xiong, became the first victim.
In this way, only three of the twelve heads are left.
However, these three leaders could not persist until the end. Two of the leaders fell in the subsequent "justice" of the bandits, leaving only Su Lifang alone.
In fact, Su Lifang is not without any problems.
People in the world call bandits the heroes of the forest, but 90% of them are really not good people!
Even though they may have been forced to take this path in the first place, after a while, their hands were basically stained with the blood of innocent people.
After that, in a place as chaotic and evil as the cottage, there were people who could still maintain their kind and beautiful character. It cannot be said that there are no such people, but they were definitely rare - Xu Yi didn't find any of them in this cottage anyway.
Those bandits who said they were forced have also done countless evil things.
For example, Guo Yang, who stood up in the first place, was killed by Xu Yi with a sword because he found out the innocence of the woman he liked to slander the most.
Guo Yang:······
Didn't you say that I can go back tomorrow morning? you liar!
Xu Yi: I said it, but isn’t it not yet tomorrow morning?
In the Juyi lobby.
At this time, there were only one hundred and eighty-two bandits left, including Su Lifang and Zhang Chi.
They are all relatively rational, they always maintain a certain conscience, and the bad things they do are still within Xu Yi's tolerance.
Only through combination can we survive.
"Congratulations! You survived!"
Xu Yi said to them with a smile.
Su Lifang, Zhang Chi and other bandits could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
When they accidentally saw the smile on Xu Yi's face, they all lowered their heads in fear.
They were really and completely scared!
Xu Yi had said with such a smile that he wanted to bring them justice, and then killed more than 70% of the bandits in their entire village.
This is even more ruthless than that devil girl Guo Furong!
Yang Huilan said that she had picked out more than a dozen of their bandits, but in fact, she killed less than 20% of the bandits, and only more than 10% of them were able to stand up to the sky.
They were killed and collapsed, and then ran away.
In a great war, those who can withstand 30% of the battle damage ratio without collapsing are already famously powerful armies in history.
These ordinary bandits were able to withstand a 10% battle loss ratio only because Yang Huilan was alone, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.
As for Xu Yi, who suddenly raised the battle loss ratio to over 70%, he was completely taking advantage of the bandits' luck.
If they wanted to run away, even if Xu Yi was stronger than Yang Huilan, he would only be able to leave at most 20% of the bandits behind.
That's because these bandits haven't fully woken up from the wine yet.
"Okay, since you all survived successfully, now you have two choices."
"One is to give up the identity of a bandit and return to the identity of a normal person. You can go wherever you want."
"The other one, I still lack some manpower..."
The bandits looked at me and I looked at you, and then they all knelt down on one knee.
"I am willing to serve Hero Xu!"
In this way, Xu Yi successfully accepted his first batch of subordinates.
Although this group of subordinates is not very good, except for Su Lifang, a second-rate warrior, there are only three third-rate warriors headed by Zhang Chi, and there are eleven quasi-warriors who only open Dantian but not meridians, and the rest are all Ordinary people.
If the overall strength of the previous Shanzhai was superior even among all the second-rate forces, then the current Shanzhai, excluding Xu Yi, could only be considered as a middle-to-lower level among the third-rate forces.
But looking at the one hundred and eighty-two people in front of him, Xu Yi was quite satisfied.
This is the prototype of his power!
"From today on, you will be called Black Wind Village! For a short period of time, you will still have to stay on Cuiwei Mountain. On the surface, you will still be bandits, but you should not do things like robbing homes and houses."
After Xu Yi thought about it, he made such arrangements for this group of people.
The bandits looked at it and said in unison again.
"Meet the village leader!"
"Don't call me the leader of the village! From now on, just call me, um, Heavenly Master!"
Xu Yi didn't think of a good title. Young Master, Young Hero, or Hero were all inappropriate, and the village leader was even less suitable. He had no intention of staying here permanently.
After much deliberation, only one 'Heavenly Master' can be used, mainly for the next operation.
Heavenly Master?
The bandits had strange expressions on their faces. Is this title a bit too strange?
Xu Yi doesn't look like a Taoist priest!
But looking at Xu Yi's face, even though they had many doubts in their hearts, they still shouted in unison very sincerely at this moment.
"Meet the Heavenly Master!"
"Well, from today on, Su Lifang will be your first stronghold leader! And Zhang Chi will be your second stronghold leader!"
"Meet the leader of the village!"
"Greetings to the Second Village Master!"
Zhang Chi was very excited when he saw the people shouting that he was the 'Second Village Master'.
Make a lot of money!
He didn't expect that he was just a 'leader', but in the end he could gain such a big harvest and directly became the second village leader of the village! Second only to Su Lifang and Xu Yi, no, second only to Xu Yi!
He quietly glanced at Su Lifang beside him and curled his lips secretly.
This guy will definitely not be trusted by the Heavenly Master!
I must keep an eye on him!
We must not let him ruin the good deeds of the Heavenly Master!
He is a smart man and naturally knows why Xu Yi promoted him to this position. To put it bluntly, it was to check and balance Su Lifang!
Su Li was happy, but not much. He was one of the most likely people to become the leader of the village, and now he just confirmed this.
But not to mention that the current strength of the cottage has shrunk by more than half, but he, the so-called 'big village master', is also suppressed by Xu Yi, the 'celestial master'!
Xu Yi could clearly see the two people's thoughts, but he didn't say much. He kept some things in plain sight.
He had little experience in managing people, but he followed it.
Those who can obey will use it, and those who can't, they won't be able to obey either.
After the killings just now, Xu Yi believed that, at least in a short period of time, these people would not dare to disobey.
After deciding on the two positions of the leader of the first village and the leader of the second village, Xu Yi reorganized the organizational structure.
There is definitely no need for those small bosses, big bosses and the like.
Xu Yi chose to borrow Taoist names and called them warriors, protectors and heavenly masters.
They wear seven-color turbans in order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The red turban is the lowest and the purple turban is the highest.
Among them, quasi-warriors and ordinary people are unified into red scarf rikishi, also known as quasi-rikishi. Immediately below, the third-rate warriors are orange-turbaned warriors, and the second-rate warriors are yellow-turbaned warriors.
First-class warriors wear green scarves, but they are not green scarf warriors, but green scarf protectors; then the top masters are green scarf protectors, and innate warriors are blue scarf protectors.
Needless to say, the last purple scarf is our only heavenly master - Xu Yi.
However, in today's Black Wind Village, those higher-level titles are not used. The strongest village leader is only a second-rate warrior, who can barely wear a yellow scarf and become a yellow scarf warrior.
"From today on, everyone in the village will wear the same colored headscarf according to their own strength and identity!"
"I will obey the Heavenly Master's instructions!"
Mountain bandits, no, should be called warriors.
All the powerful men bowed their hands and bowed.
Don't think that this kind of thing is unnecessary. In fact, this small change of title means completely burying their past and becoming another new force!
At least now, everyone has begun to gradually wake up to their identity as a 'strong man'.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, why were ordinary people from poor backgrounds who didn't even have enough money to raise such a massive "Yellow Turban Rebellion"?
The most important thing is what Zhang Jiao said back then, as long as he wears a yellow scarf, he is a Yellow Turban Army!
In fact, many so-called Yellow Turbans have almost nothing to do with Zhang Jiao. What they identify with is not Zhang Jiao, but the identity of the 'Yellow Turbans'.
The sense of identity may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually a very important part of psychology.
For example, when Xu Yi asked today's powerful warriors to call them 'Celestial Master', it would seem much more natural.
Isn’t it standard for a heavenly master to be paired with a powerful man?
The way they looked at Xu Yi changed from fear to awe.
Don't underestimate this change, it is an important change from being hostile to being one of your own!
Of course, Xu Yi still needs to do more things to make these people truly useful to him.
"And these people are too weak. If I want them to be able to really help me, I have to train them a lot."
Xu Yi pondered for a while.
Finally, I took out "Qinglian Neigong".
"This is a first-class inner skill and mind method with eleven levels in total. You can directly practice it to the level of a first-rate master! All of you can directly obtain the first five levels (to the third-rate peak). The remaining six levels, as long as you If you get enough merit, you can exchange it freely!"
This "Green Lotus Internal Skill" is naturally a cut version of Xu Yi's internal skill. The descriptions of swallowing memories and improving the soul have been deleted, leaving only the purest method of cultivating meridians.
He didn't want his men to become a bunch of lunatics.
"Thank you, Heavenly Master!"
All the warriors were overjoyed.
Including Su Lifang is no exception!
"First-class inner strength and mental method?"
Su Lifang's heart was pounding.
Why does he stay in the late stage of the second-rate warrior? Isn’t it because I don’t have any skills?
If he had the skills, with the internal strength he had accumulated now, he would have been able to break through to the second-rate peak level long ago!
“People’s hearts are available!”
Seeing the enthusiastic and excited expressions on everyone's faces, Xu Yi knew that he had finally conquered this group of people.
······
In a room that was barely clean.
"Do you know why I called you?"
Xu Yi said.
In front of him was Su Lifang, who had just been promoted to the head of Black Wind Village. They were the only two people in the room.
"I don't know."
Su Lifang shook his head.
"Please give me a clear explanation from the Heavenly Master!"
"This is a chronic poison. After taking it, if you don't get the antidote within a month, your whole body will fester and die!"
Xu Yi handed a medicine bottle to Su Li.
Without saying a word, Su Lifang took the medicine bottle directly, poured out the poison inside, and swallowed it.
"very good."
Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, he actually admired Su Lifang.
In the Memory Palace, Suli Fang did not make any small moves, but truly swallowed the poison into his belly.
Anyone who faces a poison in front of them will hesitate. Perhaps after thinking clearly about their situation, most people will swallow the poison, but it is rare to be so decisive. !
"Perhaps this will be a good helper for me!"
Such a thought flashed through Xu Yi's mind, but he quickly suppressed it. Whether he can become his real helper depends on whether he can withstand the next test.
"Su Li Fang, there is something I want you to do."
"Master Tian, please give me your instructions!"
"Of the 150,000 taels in the treasury, you keep 30,000 taels here for the future development of Heifeng Village. I want you to exchange all of the remaining 120,000 taels into silver within seven days. Ticket! I’ll pick it up in seven days.”
"Seven days?"
Su Lifang paused, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and said after a while.
"Master Tian, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well!"
"Very good! Once this is done, I will directly pass on the first nine levels of "Qinglian Neigong" to you!"
"Thank you, Heavenly Master!"
Su Lifang couldn't help but smile.
As for the antidote to the poison, we all know it and there is no need to mention it.
"Okay, you go down."
Xu Yi waved his hand and asked him to retreat.
"Subordinates resign!"
Suli Fang left.
In the room where Xu Yi was supposed to be alone, another person suddenly appeared.
"Zhang Chi, you should know what I want you to do, right?"
"My subordinates know! I will definitely keep an eye on Su Lifang and never let him have any chance to steal the money that belongs to you, Heavenly Master!"
"Very well, go down."
"Yes, I am resigning."
Zhang Chi also left.
It doesn't take a while.
There was another person in the room again.
"Li Qing, you should know what I want you to do, right?"
