Long Long was very satisfied with his knowledge.

In the final analysis, those with well-developed muscles fight, and those with smart brains command; this is called specialization.

Long Long has always hated the situation where someone who obviously has no wisdom is promoted to a position that he is not qualified for because of his high level of cultivation.

For example, the group of birdmen, led by Elder Kong Ping, who were jealous of his command talent and therefore unwilling to obey his orders, let me tell you the truth, I will remember all of you!

Let’s put the old ones aside for now and deal with these small ones first.

Long Long looked at everyone and saw that the Feather Clan monks at the scene were nervous, nervous, frightened, and uneasy, with all kinds of expressions on their faces.

He suddenly laughed and said:

"There's no rush to finalize the list. Let me get to know everyone first."

Everyone was stunned.

It's such a critical time for escape, and you said that you have to know everyone one by one before deciding who goes and who stays. Are you crazy?

Although everyone thought this in their hearts, no one dared to question it directly, and just tried hard to force a smile.

What if I ask a few questions and then be labeled as "staying in Yuanjiangcheng", who can accept that?

Dragon Fox watched silently from the side, and suddenly some inspiration came to his mind:

She had known about the bird people's xenophobia and unreasonableness when she and Long Long had traveled through Nanzhou together. The red feather arrow given by Feng Yan would definitely work well if it was in the hands of the feather tribe, but in the hands of the dragon tribe... encountering a scoundrel like Elder Kong Ping who insisted on saying that he had stolen it and refused to admit it, there was nothing they could do.

Similarly, these Feather Clan cultivators in Yuanjiang City would not have taken the three people seriously.

But now Long Long can control them at will for three reasons:

First of all, of course, it was because of the special period, everyone was thinking about how to escape, so they had no time to argue with him.

Secondly, Long Long’s ability to overcome layers of blockades and finally reach the isolated and helpless Yuanjiang City also gave these Feather Clan monks great confidence.

If there were only the above two points, it would only mean that Long Long had the capital to communicate with these Feather Clan monks on an equal footing. If he gave advice, everyone might listen, but it would be impossible for him to ride on everyone's head and act arrogantly like he is doing now.

The most important point is the third one: he can decide whether everyone stays or leaves.

If you go, if you can escape, you will naturally be safe; if you stay, you don’t know whether the next wave of reinforcements will come, and you don’t know whether they will be successful if they come. The risk is so great that it is really frightening.

Originally, the power to decide whether to stay or go was in the hands of the general defending the city, Qiu Ying. However, Long Long saw that this general had no intention of fighting for power and only wanted to save as much as possible. Therefore, he cleverly used verbal attacks to make the other party voluntarily choose to surrender and give in, thus taking the power to decide "stay or go" into his hands.

With this power, all Feather Clan monks had to go to great lengths to please him in order to be included in the first evacuation list.

If this kind of flattery is managed properly, it will subsequently form a kind of mental inertia - which is what is often referred to as "prestige" in history.

Long Hu pondered silently by himself, and then he, together with Qin Lu and Long Long, found a small hall in the nearby city guard's mansion and began to receive the Feather Clan monks who had lined up to visit.

Every Feather Clan cultivator needs to introduce themselves, stating their name, cultivation level, and approximate combat capabilities.

Again, under normal circumstances, this information is private and sensitive, and even asking others about it would make them angry. Now, in order to be selected into the first evacuation team, everyone can only report it to Long Long obediently and dare not act rashly.

In this way, Long Long had the details of the 420 Feather Clan cultivators in the city under his control.

Next, Long Long did something that made the Feather Clan monks vomit blood:

He publicly announced that he would study the list behind closed doors.

If he hadn't mentioned this, everyone would have been at most a little frightened; but this person deliberately said, "We are studying the list." How could anyone dare to sit and wait? They all took action to save themselves.

The idea that comes to mind the most is naturally the traditional classic: giving gifts.

The army of gift-givers lined up in a long queue outside the City Guard's Mansion, making it seem like a testing point, but everyone was quickly turned away.

When Long Long said "we need to conduct research behind closed doors", he really meant it, the door would not be opened no matter who knocked, and the same went for Qiu Ying.

The original owner refused to accept any gifts, so everyone tried every possible means to slip something to the messenger.

Qin Lu had a cold face and refused to accept anything from anyone. However, there were some very shameless people who stuffed the things into the crack of the door and immediately turned around and flew away. The speed of the Feather Tribe was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were in some alley.

There was no way to return them to the owner on the spot. Qin Lu was also very troubled by these magic weapons and elixirs, so he planned to find Long Long to ask what to do.

As a result, she met Dragon Fox on the road. Dragon Fox listened to her complaints and gave her advice:

"You can give them all to Qiu Ying and ask him to distribute them to the original owners. He is familiar with these Feather Clan monks, but we are not!"

"Is this possible?" Qin Lu asked in confusion, "What if we can't find the original owner?"

"How could we not find the original owner?" Dragon Fox laughed, "If we don't leave a name on the gift, how can we know who sent it? What's the point of bribery?"

Qin Lu finally realized what was going on, so he packed up all the things and handed them to Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying almost vomited blood when he saw it: he knew that many people were trying to send gifts to Longlong, but he didn't expect there would be so many. How could he send them all back? He immediately notified everyone to come and claim them.

When everyone heard that the thing was in Qiu Ying's hands, they became very anxious.

If it is left with Long Long, no matter whether the other party remembers his kindness or not, he will feel more at ease - what everyone fears most is that everyone has sent it but he is the only one who does not, which can be really fatal.

But if it were in Qiu Ying's hands, it would become a question of character.

Most people who know Qiu Ying believe that he is trustworthy. But who can guarantee this? What if he sees something good inside and takes it for himself, and then insists that the thing Long Long gave him doesn't have it? Then the owner will have to swallow the loss even if he doesn't want to. Otherwise, can he confront Long Long?

So within half an hour, all the things were taken away immediately, which was also amazing.

The things were retrieved, but what about the list?

Everyone found helplessly that things had gone around in circles and finally returned to the starting point.

What should I do?

Before Long Long announced the result, everyone was completely helpless and could only wait for the result to come out.

But Longhu did not have this worry. At this moment, she was pestering Long Long, clamoring to see the final list he had drawn up!

"Is there any pattern to this?" Long Hu looked at the list for a long time after getting it, and finally couldn't help asking.

Among the two-thirds of the evacuation list, high-level monks, low-level monks, older monks, younger monks, and even male monks and female monks are basically in a relatively balanced proportion.

There was no special group of monks, and the vast majority were arranged to evacuate or stay behind - as if who evacuated and who stayed behind was randomly selected based on egalitarianism.

"Of course there is." Long Long said, "Look at the notes."

Long Hu looked at the notes carefully and saw a line of small words at the end of the first person on the list:

"Extremely skilled in wind escape, the fastest runner."
