Above the stars

I was worried that I wanted too much, but I didn't expect that you thought I wanted too little.

This is a real brother.

If she wanted to.

Tang Bandit looked at An Ning in surprise and asked, "Are you confident?"

The Flame Shrine is a fragmented yet united organization, with little organizational discipline and all gathered together for profit.

The original intention of its establishment was to gather together for warmth. Later, as it grew, it began to bully men and dominate women and exercise jurisdiction.

Usually, the Flame Shrine internally fights for power and profit, but once a foreign enemy invades, they can quickly organize to jointly defend against the enemy.

No one can touch our fruits.

Therefore, Tang Bandit was a little surprised when An Ning said that he wanted to give the Flame Shrine to him.

Even shocked.

How did a little girl do it in just a few years?

An Ning looked at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "I know that with the people you brought from Xinxing, you can forcibly control the Lingyang area."

"It can even start from the Lingyang area and infiltrate and spread to other districts. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed."

"However, there is a drawback to doing this. It cannot gather people's hearts. The Flame Shrine is a loose organization. If you attack, they will flee in all directions. People can be hidden in dense forests, valleys, and anywhere. You know these better than me."

"When you leave, they will gather again and use your manpower to control an area of ​​Henshan Mountain. It will be a bit difficult if they disperse to the Lingyang area, or start a war against the entire Flame Shrine."

"Indeed." Tang Bandit nodded and said, "I have also thought about this issue when I was lying in bed these days. We can forcefully occupy the Lingyang area, or go directly to the headquarters of the Flame Shrine."

"But after the occupation, how to govern is the biggest problem. We need both territory and people. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"First, we need to win people's hearts. This is what I have been doing these years. Is there any living person in the old land who is not sick?"

"I practice medicine and distribute medicines, treat illnesses and save people, giving them health and life. Even if they are ungrateful, they will not easily offend a doctor. Because they know better than anyone else that I can save their lives at critical moments."

"This is also the reason why they elected me as a saint. If I stand up and call on them to support you, it should have a certain effect. Of course, this also requires your cooperation."

"The second issue is to solve their food and clothing problem. People need to eat. If they don't have enough to eat, why should they work for you?"

"We not only need to solve their food and clothing problem, but also make them better fed and clothed than before, so that they are full of hope for the future."

"Of course, this is for the gray robes at the bottom. After all, eating is their biggest concern."

"However, priests with black robes and above cannot be dismissed casually. Although it is a troubled time, the living standard of these people is quite high. They eat meat in large quantities, drink in large bowls, and can enjoy the best materials in an area, including women. "

"So, if you want them to be willing to accept and support you, you need to come up with something that can really impress them."

Tang Bandit shook his head and said, "If you can't impress these people, just kill them."

Greed has no limits.

They live in troubled times, but their lives are very nourishing.

Just like the black-robed Bian Zhenxin whom he and Fenghuang had killed, and his white-robed winger

These people have high positions of authority, have no worries about food and clothing, and have everything they want.

Hundreds and thousands of people serve them, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are emperors of this land.

What can you give such people to satisfy their appetite?

Can't give it.

Therefore, the best way is to kill them directly.

An Ning nodded and said: "Win over a group and kill a group. In this way, the organizational framework of the shrine will not collapse, and it will also scare the monkeys and prevent them from rebelling."

Tang Bandit looked at An Ning and asked with a smile: "Is this such a happy decision?"

An Ning's clear and bright eyes also laughed, and her voice was as clear as a nightingale: "It's such a happy decision."

"The future fate of such a large organization is decided by just a few words from the two of us?"

"That's their honor." An Ning said softly, "I know that my brother needs manpower. He needs many, many people. Otherwise, taking over such a mess will only make him troublesome."

Tang Bandit looked at An Ning thoughtfully. This girl knew very little about things on the new star. However, she started planning a few years ago. After they returned to the old land, they immediately understood their situation and what to do in the future. things.

Then do whatever you can to help.

"Thank you." Tang Bandi said sincerely.

"Brother, please don't say these words to me. I said that you saved my life, and I haven't even thanked you properly."

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. We are our own people." Tang Bandit said with a smile.

He looked at the black gauze on An Ning's face and asked: "If you want, I can help you remove the scars on your face. The technology on Xinxing is very mature, and there are some good doctors around me."

"No need for now." An Ning refused and said, "This is the best protective color."

"I understand. When things here are over, I will take you to Xinxing. I will definitely find the best cosmetic doctor to perform surgery on you."

"Okay, then I can become pretty. Mom will be very happy to see me." An Ning said happily.

"Yes. Is everything okay with Auntie?"

"Very good. After I entered the Flame Shrine, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Besides, I am a doctor and know spells, so some minor illnesses and disasters can be easily cured. She has been taking the Chinese medicine I prepared for her, and she looks younger than before."

"It's just that the elderly like to nag, always talking about you and Xiaopang, and Master said that you are all good people, and blamed me for not going to Xinxing with you."

Thinking of that kind and tough woman, Tang Fei also showed a happy smile on his face. That was the woman who took care of him and Xiaopang as her own sons.

Although he often helped the mother and daughter with some food, she was also a person who knew how to repay her gratitude. She helped to mend the clothes and shoes of the three of them, and she also helped to clean the house.

Although she did not live with them, she existed like a half-hostess.

It's hard to leave your hometown, and it's hard to abandon your old friends.

"I'll go see her when I have time."

"Okay." An Ning nodded and said, "She has been unwilling to move away from Henshan, saying that she has developed feelings for living there. Moreover, Wang Tianlong is the head of the Henshan branch of the shrine. With him taking care of her here, no one dares to bully her."

"The days ahead will only get better and better."

"Well, I believe in my brother."

Tang Fei smiled. He was not sure if he could do it.

He just wanted to try his best.

Try his best.

"You said that you need my cooperation to win people's hearts. How should I cooperate?"

"Brother, I'm ready."

"Ready?"

"Well." An Ning nodded and said, "Just wait for the grand appearance."

"."

——

Wang Sanguang is a small deacon of the Flame Shrine. He mainly follows Lei Zongnan, the president of the branch, to do things and wait for orders.

The third-rank official in front of the prime minister, because he works directly for the president, is equivalent to the president's confidant, so his status is much higher than other people, and he is often invited to eat and drink.

In the thick and dark stone house, more than a dozen people are eating hot pot together.

Dog meat hot pot, the big black dog that Chen Dayou in gray robe just killed today.

He thought that such a good thing could not be enjoyed by himself alone, so he invited his team leader. The team leader thought that he could not enjoy it alone, so he invited the captain, and the captain invited Wang Sanguang.

Everyone had someone they wanted to honor, and so they invited more than a dozen people at once.

In the end, the big cooking table was full, and Chen Dayou could only serve tea and water and do some waiter work on the side.

Those who beat dogs are not qualified to sit at the table.

From ancient times to the present, it has been like this.

The old land is like this, and the new star is the same.

When you smell the fragrance of dog meat, even gods want to taste it.

The dog meat was stewed until soft and tasty. Wang Sanguang was very happy to eat it and drank a few large Hong Kong-funded bottles.

Alcohol is a luxury, but it is not completely out of reach for the middle-level people of the Flame Shrine.

Lei Zongnan also drinks a few glasses of wine every day before going to bed.

Privileges and privileged institutions have always existed in any era.

After eating and drinking, Wang Sanguang used his fingers to pick up the dog meat between his teeth, squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Dayou, and said: "Dayou's dog meat is well stewed."

"It's my honor to satisfy Lord Wang." Chen Dayou looked flattering.

"Well, I'll remember this favor. When I have a good job in the future, I will think of you."

Chen Dayou was overjoyed. He served for a long time, and he got a reward, didn't he?

He bowed slightly and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Chief Wang, thank you, Chief Wang. Chief Wang is my breadwinner, please tell me if you have anything to say. If I, Chen Dayou, frown, I am not born by my parents."

He knew too well the value of the phrase "good job".

Although the Flame Shrine gathered in the name of the Flame God, they did a lot of robbing and looting.

If a good job came to him, Chen Dayou, maybe he could get something good.

"Well, wait."

After saying that, he jumped down from the big pit, put on his boots and walked out.

"Chief Wang, I'll take you." Chen Dayou said very servilely.

Wang Sanguang was in front, and a group of people followed him on both sides.

Suddenly, Wang Sanguang stopped.

When he stopped, everyone else stopped too.

Wang Sanguang's expression was ferocious, his eyes were dull, and he was shaking all over as if he had some strange phenomenon.

As he shook, a lot of white foam began to come out of his mouth.

Plop!

Wang Sanguang fell to the ground headfirst.

"Master Wang"

"Deacon Wang"

"Come quickly. Please invite the Saint"

——

Lei Zongnan had finished drinking red wine and was using the alcohol to favor a girl he had just "picked up" when someone knocked on the door of the room.

Lei Zongnan was in high spirits, and when someone knocked on the door like this, his anger soared, and the blood from his lower head rushed to his upper head.

"Who?" Lei Zongnan shouted.

"President, something happened, something serious happened"

The voice of the adjutant Lei Hu came from outside the room.

Lei Hu was his nephew, and only this kid dared to disturb his good things at this time.

Lei Zongnan had no choice but to store his guns, and walked out wearing a big coat, scolding: "What's the big deal? The sky is falling? You are so flustered, how can you be so rude?"

"Boss, Wang Sanguang is dead."

"Wang Sanguang is dead? Who killed him?"

"He died of illness."

"He died of illness? What illness? He came to me today and I don't think he was sick."

"He just died of illness. I heard that he ate a black dog."

"He ate a black dog? He ate the person to death?"

"Yes, not only Wang Sanguang. Jiang Cai, Chen Feng, Zhao Xiaolei are all dead."

"All dead?" Lei Zongnan was shocked.

He realized the rigor of the problem.

"Yes, all dead."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I saw it with my own eyes." Lei Hu nodded, as if he was afraid that Lei Zongnan would not believe it, and explained: "I just came out of their homes. I checked every family and made sure they were dead, so I hurried to report to the boss."

Pah!

Lei Zongnan was so angry that his body was shaking. He slapped Lei Hu in the face and cursed loudly: "You have seen them. Why did you come to my place?"

"I will beat you to death, you idiot. You are more likely to cause trouble than to help me."

"If it weren't for your dead father, I would have chopped you to pieces if you wanted to kill me."

Lei Hu didn't understand what was going on and lay on the ground screaming and wailing.

"Uncle, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Uncle, stop hitting me. If you hit me again, I will kill you."

"Uncle, what did I do wrong?"
