"Isn't it easy to get water?"
Liu Jinyu smiled happily.
The next moment, he threw a water bag over and said considerately, "There's enough water in the bag. If you're really thirsty, it's okay to drink it all. I won't charge you."
Black Whirlwind's face turned green with anger. Who cares about your little water?
He just wanted to delay time, but he didn't expect Liu Jinyu to be so cunning.
Now it's really being roasted on the fire rack.
Under Chen Xuan's gaze, Black Whirlwind gritted his teeth and took a big gulp of water, then swallowed the Earth Gu Poison Pill given to him by Chen Xuan in one gulp!
As soon as he swallowed it, he frowned. Why does it smell like mud?
Forget it, maybe this is the peculiarity of the southern Xinjiang poison.
After all, he was from the western part of the Dagan Dynasty and had never dealt with people from southern Xinjiang. He had only heard about the power of the southern Xinjiang poisonous insects but had never actually seen it.
"Very good. Come to me in ten days to ask for the antidote."
Chen Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Don't expect to use your inner strength to remove the poison. Only a martial king can withstand this kind of poison. For those below the martial king, there is no antidote. Anyone who eats it will die!"
Then, Chen Xuan looked at the burly man with a ghost face and continued calmly, "Your elder brother has already eaten, it's your turn now. I'll only give you three breaths. If you eat within three breaths, you'll be safe. If you don't eat, I'll send you on your way."
Chen Xuan would never look at them with a good face, let alone speak to them in a nice voice.
Because each of these bandits is an example of fearing power but not morality.
If you are a little gentle to them, they will become more and more aggressive and take advantage of you.
But you are domineering and cruel to them, and they become more honest than each other!
The burly man with a ghost face, who had already been kicked, couldn't help but feel scared when he saw Chen Xuan's gaze fall on him.
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, he swallowed the poison pill in his hand without any hesitation.
At this moment, he felt the same as Black Whirlwind.
This poison pill tastes horrible and has a smell of mud.
But they didn't think much about it, because the five poisonous creatures, centipedes, toads, and poisonous snakes, all crawl on the ground.
It is normal for the poison made from the poison in their bodies to smell like mud.
After the second in command had eaten it, the remaining eight people did not dare to delay any longer. Without waiting for Chen Xuan to look over, they pinched their noses and swallowed the poison pill into their stomachs one by one.
"very good!"
Chen Xuan laughed loudly, "From now on, we are all family!"
"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. Since you are my own people, I will provide you with money and food to support you. I will not allow you to engage in robbery again!"
When they heard that they were not allowed to rob, many bandits started to complain.
Chen Xuan knew at a glance that these people were hard to change, and said calmly: "If anyone dares to rob, kill ordinary people, and rape decent women in private, I will catch one and kill one, catch two and kill a pair!"
Then, Chen Xuan looked at the ten seats on the Black Whirlwind side.
"You ten people, you must set an example and manage your men well. Remember your current identities. From now on, you are my Chen Xuan's men, and no longer some unpresentable bandits!"
"If your men commit crimes, I will not only kill them, but I will also punish you!"
"Tonight, make a list for me. Of these three thousand people, ten of you will be in charge of three hundred people each."
"If someone you are in charge of commits a crime, the person in charge will also be punished!"
This is the implementation of the responsibility system.
Only when they realize that if their subordinates commit crimes, they will also be implicated, will they properly restrain their subordinates.
Faced with Chen Xuan's request, these ten people were naturally unhappy.
But on the surface, he didn't dare to disobey and agreed obediently.
"Very good. For the next period of time, you will live in the courtyard. Set up camp here. No one is allowed to run around without my order!"
"Liu Jinyu, you are responsible for the list."
"Jiang Baili, wait until you get the list before you withdraw your troops."
"I'm a little tired today, I'm going home to rest first."
After saying that, Chen Xuan asked for a horse and went straight back to the city.
Everything has been almost done. Next, all we have to do is let Liu Jinyu and the others do some finishing work.
Courtyard.
When Chen Xuan came back, he was surprised to find that Li Xiuning and the others were still awake.
Eight women were gathered together, eating melon seeds and discussing something.
"What are you talking about, beautiful ladies?"
Chen Xuan walked in with a smile.
"Husband, you're back!"
Xu Ruolan is always the most enthusiastic one. As soon as she sees Chen Xuan, she immediately greets him with a smile.
"Sister Xu."
Chen Xuan smiled.
"Why did you go home? Did you deal with the bandits?"
Yang Ying'er spoke with some surprise.
Hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his head and chest, like a rooster that had won a battle, and walked over proudly, patting his chest.
"That's right, don't you see who is doing it? If your husband doesn't make a move, he will make a big splash!"
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? You are not my husband!"
Yang Yinger rolled her eyes.
On the side, Xu Ruolan said with a smile: "Sister Ying'er, if you are willing, it's okay for you to be our Xiaoba."
Here, Yang Ying'er is the youngest, only in her teens.
Therefore, if she really followed Chen Xuan, she could only be the youngest.
"Tsk, who wants to follow this pervert? I hate men the most!"
Yang Ying'er snorted and turned her face away, feeling her face burning hot.
"Okay, stop joking and get back to business."
Suddenly, Li Xiuning looked solemn.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He rarely saw Li Xiuning with this expression.
Something must have happened!
"What happened?"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Um."
Li Xiuning nodded and said to a maid next to her, "Xiao Cui, go call Commander Ling over."
After taking over the Liao Mansion, the maids were not dismissed but kept. Each of Li Xiuning and the others was assigned a maid.
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Cui bowed slightly and left.
"Ling Mo is back?"
Chen Xuan was a little surprised.
I thought Ling Mo would stay in Hucheng for a few more days, but I never expected that he would come back so soon.
So, did he bring back the 400,000 taels of silver?
"Well, he's back."
Li Xiuning nodded, "Besides him, he brought back two other people."
"Who did you bring?"
Chen Xuan was even more surprised.
One person when leaving, three people when returning?
