I Built An Empire And You’re Telling Me That I Wasn’t Transmigrated?
Chapter 79 Chaos in the camp, witch trial!
On the eve of the storm, it is always extraordinarily quiet.
This is the case outside the Sea God's Kingdom.
The same is true in Seagod's Kingdom.
The atmosphere of the temporary camp was particularly strange at this time.
Even people with the worst sense of smell can see that the situation in the temporary camp is subtly different.
People panic even more!
While walking, there seemed to be a demon chasing after him, and he carefully looked around from time to time.
It was clearly a sunny day, but it seemed like a night full of ghosts and ghosts, and ghosts and ghosts might jump out from all directions at any time.
Among the jungle.
Yang Xu stood on a high place with towering ancient trees, overlooking the coastline where the victims were stationed.
During the period just now, he personally inspected the situation of the temporary camp and confirmed the surrounding environment.
Although Yang Xu doesn't know the art of war, he also knows how to march and fight, and he pays attention to the right time, place and people.
This location is a very crucial part.
The environment of the temporary camp is troublesome.
The coastline is long and winding, not a straight line.
The temporary camps did not have fixed settlements, and they were scattered in twos and threes along the coastline that was about two kilometers long.
This brought a lot of trouble to the actions of Xu Guo's army.
If you want to catch them all, you need to act carefully and carefully. It is better to gather everyone together, which is more convenient.
After all, Yang Xu's purpose is to capture them alive and increase Xu Country's accumulation in all aspects as much as possible, not to kill them.
A living person is far more valuable than a dead one.
In addition to this consideration, Yang Xu has another consideration.
Even if all these people are wiped out, it will at most delay the time for Xu Guo to be discovered by the outside world, and it will not change this reality. So keep them, they can be used as good bargaining chips in the future.
Not to mention the jokes that make the forces of all parties worry, at least they can be exchanged for some benefits.
"Wang~ the army can arrive here in the afternoon."
Qingluan fell from the sky and landed on Yang Xu's shoulder.
While combing her beautiful feathers elegantly, she reported the information she had just obtained.
Yang Xu nodded slightly, very satisfied with Yun Xiao's marching speed, even a little surprised.
The speed is too fast.
According to the previous speed, it is considered very good to arrive tonight.
Now it is a few hours ahead of schedule, which is not an easy task.
He said, "Very well, did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
Qingluan: "There are a few minor troubles, but it's not a big problem."
"The reason why this march was so smooth is due to the Nuwa clan."
"Oh~~~"
Yang Xu looked sideways at Qingluan, with a little more curiosity in his eyes.
In this operation, only a small number of Nuwa people were brought into the army.
Although these newly born Nuwa clansmen have ancient inheritance memories, they don't know much about Xu Country and the surrounding situation.
If it is not necessary, Yang Xu does not want them to go to the battlefield immediately, but hopes that they can patiently understand the situation of Xu Country.
But the unique abilities of the Nuwa tribe also made them an indispensable part of the army. With them, wounded soldiers can be treated in time when necessary, greatly reducing combat damage, which is equivalent to field medical personnel.
Qingluan said: "The Nuwa clan's ability to control plants has greatly reduced the trouble of opening up wasteland, otherwise there will be an extra day of delay on the road."
"They are really good, those nasty bushes will automatically move out of the way."
Yang Xu was stunned.
The vitality of this wild land is too strong.
Except for the national highway connecting the four towns in Xu country, there are no decent roads in other places. Because the bushes you cut down and the path you opened up that day will be covered with new bushes and weeds the next day!
Such a strong vitality also makes every march of the Xu country army extra troublesome.
Land reclamation is an essential part.
Cut down the shrubs.
Clean up the vines.
Carve out a path through the thriving primeval jungle for your army to pass through.
This is why the larger the number of troops, the more troublesome the operation will be.
Yang Xu smiled and said, "Very well, wait for my order when Yunxiao arrives."
The unexpected joy of the Nuwa clan put Yang Xu in a good mood.
With this ability, it will be much easier for Xu Country to open up wasteland in the future, it is simply a magic weapon for opening up wasteland.
After chatting briefly with Qingluan, Yang Xu left the dense forest and returned to the temporary camp.
As soon as he arrived at the camp, he noticed something strange.
"Something went wrong~~~"
However, before Yang Xu took the initiative to ask, Afra hurried over.
Her black eyebrows were frowned, her expression was tense, her pretty face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her tight vest was even soaked with sweat. It was obvious that she had been looking for Yang Xu in this camp for a long time.
"what happened?"
Yang Xu asked suspiciously.
"They're crazy."
Aphra's face was ugly, and she cursed: "God, they actually want to burn those people to death. I really can't believe that such barbaric and absurd acts will still be seen in this era."
Yang Xu became even more confused.
He interrupted Aphra's anger, frowned and said, "Wait, burn someone to death?"
"Hey, let's talk as we walk."
Afra didn't care about other things, took Yang Xu's hand, and hurriedly walked towards the camp.
On the way, Aphra explained what happened inside the camp.
Speaking of which, this incident has a great connection with Yang Xu.
In the morning, while chatting with Lin De, Yang Xu reminded him to pay more attention to whether other people encountered the same situation as Tommy.
Although Linde felt that such a thing could not happen, it was ridiculous.
But with Yang Xu's reminder, he hesitated for a while, and really went to ask others about it.
The temporary camp is just that big.
There are only more than two hundred people in total.
In this place, there are few secrets.
Not to mention that Linde asked one by one.
And soon word spread throughout the camp.
Someone has been bewitched by the devil and has become a servant of the devil, which will bring terrible disasters to everyone.
The scariest thing about gossip is that it gets more and more outrageous as it spreads. Things quickly turned out that someone had signed a pact with the demon, and everyone here would be sacrificed tonight in exchange for the demon's power.
If it was other time, other places, most people would just laugh it off.
But now, here, especially when they heard that someone was bewitched by the devil, many people chose to believe it.
And just like that, things got out of hand.
Demons, everyone must not be able to fight, and there is no way to fight.
Besides, who is too busy to challenge the devil?
That is a legendary demon.
But everyone dare not challenge the devil, but the problem still needs to be solved.
Since you can't deal with the devil, let's deal with the person who summoned the demon.
That's how Afra's previous words came about.
Following Linde's investigation, they easily arrested the four people who had been bewitched by the dementors and burned them to death to prevent the demons from coming again.
One of them is Tang Yuanqing.
Although the matter of Tang Yuanqing is secret, there are too many people near the reef.
The dementors came to the door more than once, and it was inevitable that they would be seen.
Although everyone didn't say it before, but now.
Who would want to take risks for someone else?
After hearing Afra's words, Yang Xu also felt incredible.
There is a sense of long-lived.
Burned?
Medieval witch trials?
"Is Linde there?"
Yang Xu asked with a frown.
He has a good sense for Linde.
A person who knows how to respect others, Yang Xu doesn't think this is Linde's idea.
"Hey, Linde was also arrested by them. Because of his opposition to their atrocities, Linde can't protect himself now, so he was beaten up and thrown into the cave."
Aphra sighed.
Among those people, Linde was one of the few people she didn't dislike.
Yang Xu shook his head slightly, but he was not nervous.
It's just a little thing.
Not worth mentioning.
Even if the army did not arrive, he was confident of solving it.
He considered, "Take me to see Linde first."
Linde is a talent.
Although the two had a short contact, Yang Xu had a very good feeling for Lin De.
In addition to respect for others, there is also his style and means of doing things.
When chatting in the morning, Yang Xu just said casually. But Lin De not only believed his seemingly crazy words, but also took action to conduct investigations himself. It was hard for Yang Xu not to appreciate this determination.
"Seeing what Linde does, he can't even protect himself now."
"Hey, I don't know where my cousin has gone. I haven't seen her since Grandpa Tang was arrested."
"Shouldn't we save Grandpa Tang first?"
Afula was quite dissatisfied when she heard that Yang Xu was going to see Lin De.
Although she appreciates Linde, there is a difference between closeness and distance.
Lin De is just a stranger, and Tang Yuanqing is her relative. Now her relatives have been arrested, and they are still a group of lunatics who are clamoring to burn them to death.
It was hard for Afra not to worry about Tang Yuanqing's safety.
As for whether Yang Xu can solve this problem, Afra has no doubts.
A group of ordinary people, although one of them has a gun in his hand, he should not be this man's opponent.
Yang Xu said calmly, "Don't be in a hurry."
Tang Yuanqing was related to Xu Country's future educational career, so Yang Xu certainly couldn't watch him die.
But Aphra just said that these people will hold a plenary meeting to try the four people.
Everyone voted, for everyone's safety, whether to agree to burn them to death.
One of the great virtues of this democracy is that it wastes time.
Gather all the people, the representatives express their views and opinions, and then everyone votes on how to deal with the matter, and finally counts the votes to make a decision, which cannot be completed within a few hours.
Calculating the time, the army might have arrived long ago.
So Yang Xu was not in a hurry.
Isn't it the best time to wait for them to get together.
Although Afula was conflicted, Yang Xu had made up her mind, so she could only take Yang Xu to see Lin De.
It was a very narrow cave.
With an area of three to four square meters, people standing inside even need to lower their heads, otherwise they will bump into the roof of the cave if they are not paying attention.
The cave was surrounded by a heavy wooden fence, and there were two guards outside.
Linde was leaning against the wall, very embarrassed.
The neat clothes were covered with mud and sand, the meticulous hairstyle was messed up, and the face was bruised and bruised, obviously from a severe blow.
The guard outside the door saw Yang Xu approaching and did not stop them.
They are just a mob gathered together temporarily, where there are so many rules.
Of course, the most important thing is that the wooden fence weighs several hundred kilograms, and it was carried by five or six people to block the entrance of the cave. It is impossible to push it away from the inside, because the wooden fence has been buried in sand for about half a year, and it is stuck on the rock at the entrance of the cave. The only way is to move it carefully from the outside.
Lin De noticed Yang Xu, and was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly at himself: "Let Mr. Yang see the joke."
"maybe."
Yang Xu shook his head slightly.
The performance of these people really opened his eyes.
There is an illusion of dreaming back to the Middle Ages.
But Yang Xu could understand their selfishness.
We had never met each other before, who would be noble enough to sacrifice himself for a stranger.
Lin De changed his voice, looked at Yang Xu deeply, and then looked at Afra who was beside him with an anxious face.
He knew Afra, and knew that Afra's relatives were also one of the targets of the execution.
But when Yang Xu brought Afra over, it made Linde think of many things.
Linde thought it over and said, "Sir, he came to see me at this time, shouldn't he want to see me in a mess?"
Yang Xu thought for a while, and said calmly, "Well, it's true."
Linde: "."
He blinked, a little speechless.
There are also some who can't laugh or cry.
How free are you, you came here to see how embarrassed I am.
Yang Xu himself couldn't help but smile slightly.
He stood in front of the door, looked at Linde with great interest, and said with a soft smile, "I was very curious when we first met. You, a person who dresses more delicately than a girl on a desert island, is caught in a Is it so particular after the cage?"
"Now, I know the answer."
Linde froze for a moment.
Then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Just for this matter?"
"I thought Mr. Yang was the kind of unsmiling person, but now it seems that's not the case."
"You're really boring."
Yang Xu sat in front of the door with a relaxed expression.
Talking to Linde gave him a very special feeling, very relaxed, just like the feeling he had with his friends before.
We get together to discuss women, celebrities, national policies, international situation, and sometimes argue about which girl in school is the prettiest.
After Lin De was unable to complain, he said seriously: "They took away my makeup mirror, otherwise even here, in this environment, I will still maintain the professional ethics that a professional lobbyist should have."
"Exquisite makeup and decent attire are the best respect for others."
"A lobbyist who doesn't know how to respect others, an arrogant lobbyist, will never be a top lobbyist."
"Because of arrogance and arrogance, he will not see the truth and the whole of the matter."
Yang Xu gave a thumbs up.
it is good.
Sure enough, he is a persistent person.
At this time, I still miss the makeup mirror.
Yang Xu thought about it, and suddenly became serious, saying: "I want to hire Mr. to work for me."
"Ah~~~"
Lin De was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react.
Yang Xu's sudden seriousness made him a little uncomfortable.
I'm not used to it.
Especially since Yang Xu just asked a very nasty question.
However, as a professional lobbyist, Linde still gave a standard answer.
He smiled and said: "As long as the customer can afford the price, we are willing to serve anyone."
Linde said, shrugged, and added: "Even if it is an enemy country."
"That's our profession, our professionalism."
"Take people's money and serve people."
Yang Xu smiled and said nothing.
He was satisfied with this answer.
He admired Linde very much for being so shameless about betraying the country's interests, but also speaking so confidently.
This guy is a talent.
Afula was still wondering about Yang Xu's purpose, but now she understands.
She secretly rolled her eyes.
Linde replied, very speechless.
Because she believed that Linde would regret it.
Absolutely.
And it doesn't take long.
Lin De thought: "I am very grateful to Mr. Yang for his recognition of my career and ability, but I'm afraid I have to say sorry."
"You see, I'm afraid I can't do anything for you in my current state."
Yang Xu smiled slightly.
He stood up, lifted his arms easily and sealed off the cave, and threw the wooden fence weighing hundreds of kilograms aside casually.
After finishing everything, Yang Xu clapped his hands, completely ignoring the two guards who were already confused, and said casually.
"Now."
Linde didn't speak.
He looked at Yang Xu dumbfounded, and then looked at the wooden fence that was thrown a few meters away, feeling dizzy.
This wooden fence was made by him before.
The main purpose is to seal off the storage room to ensure that no one can secretly get the few food and other precious resources.
Of course, I didn't expect that one day it would become the prison door that trapped me.
So he knows very well how heavy this wooden fence is.
Two or three hundred catties!
It's that easy?
Linde crawled out of the cave as if in a dream.
He didn't wake up a little until he left.
Lin De looked at the wooden fence, then at Yang Xu, and said with trembling lips, "How did you do it?"
Yang Xu smiled and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this matter, is it?"
Linde took a deep breath.
As a professional lobbyist, he quickly calmed down and entered the state.
Lin De tidied up his clothes, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you Mr. Yang for your help, I will repay you for this kindness."
"Now we can discuss another issue."
"What do you intend to employ me for, and what is your fee?"
When it came to the issue of remuneration, Linde became very solemn.
Heads can be broken and blood can be shed, but the work must not be done in vain.
This is a fundamental question about professionalism.
Yang Xu said flatly: "My reward is your safety before you return to civilized society, and all your life needs in the future."
"make a deal!"
Linde showed a satisfied smile, and offered to extend his hand.
He is very satisfied with this reward.
Only by living here for a while can you understand how hard it is to get food and water and keep yourself safe in this damn place.
money?
It only makes sense to leave here. Here, it is worse than waste paper.
Waste paper can still wipe your butt, but banknotes are too hard to use.
Yang Xu responded with a smile, and shook hands with Lin De to seal the deal.
He admires cheerful people.
Aphra rolled her eyes wildly.
The idiot.
idiot.
stupid guy.
This is selling yourself?
And that guy, it's just so bad.
What kind of reward is this.
Didn't he also enjoy these treatments during the time he was arrested?
He simply took Linde as a prisoner.
It must be so, right?
