Xie Xiao stood with one hand on his hip and a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, glancing down at the ground. "You're Zhang Mu?"
"You...you...you..." Zhang Mu stammered, completely naked. "Who...who are you?"
"I will never change my surname or my given name. My surname is Xie and my given name is Xiao." Xie Xiao looked at the more than a thousand prisoners who had been captured and the onlookers below the mountain.
He said, “From today onwards, North Mountain will be taken over by our Black Wind Stronghold. I will set three rules for everyone: no cannibalism, no rape or kidnapping, and no urinating or defecating indiscriminately. Anyone who violates the first two rules will be executed, and anyone who violates the last rule will have to eat their own excrement.”
Few people hadn't heard of Black Wind Stronghold. The locals thought to themselves, "Well, one Zhang Mu is gone, and an even more tyrannical one has come along."
Suddenly, Achang said, "Don't be afraid. My name is Achang. Many of you should have seen me before. Auntie, I saved your grandson yesterday when he was almost kidnapped."
"Yes, yes." The woman was still holding her grandson's hand. "This young man is a good person."
Many people who had met Achang said, "Yes, he lent us some millet a few days ago."
It was also because Achang was well-liked that those who had received favors spoke up, and the way they looked at Black Wind Village was no longer filled with fear and disgust.
Achang said, "Chief Xie is a good man. Our family is only able to survive thanks to him. Now that he has established a branch village here, it is a good thing for everyone."
"Don't listen to them, everyone! They're just bandits. If you join them, you're rebelling. When the Prince of Runan and the imperial court arrive, your entire families will be executed!" Zhang Mu still hoped to turn the tide with the refugees. "They don't have many people, what are you afraid of! Get ready—ow!"
Xie Xiao's gaze turned cold. "Exterminate your entire family? I'll exterminate your entire family first, and then your entire family after that."
As he spoke, he suddenly kicked him in the lower abdomen, right in the spot where he could give birth to nine generations of his family.
Zhang Mu let out a bloodcurdling scream, and excreted both feces and urine.
Xie Xiao thought to himself, "Thank goodness I didn't bring my wife along; it was disgusting."
Ordinary refugees had long suffered greatly from this, and instead of helping, they all said it was good that he was kicked, that he should be kicked to death.
Xie Xiao didn't say anything more; words were useless, action had to be taken. He beheaded Zhang Mu, and the remaining prisoners would be dealt with after interrogation.
"Achang, this is just the beginning. You'll have a lot more to deal with. Whether you can get others to obey you depends on yourself," Xie Xiao said, patting Achang on the shoulder.
Achang felt a weight on his shoulder. "Boss, I will definitely not let you down."
