Just as the barbarian cultural performances began at sea, the Banqui Kingdom was also not idle.
The Queen directly dispatched elite troops to the beach in case of emergency.
The nearby villages were also temporarily evacuated. Except for the guards who stayed behind in some places, all ordinary people were evacuated.
This made the Langyun students who were sorting materials beside Teacher Bian sigh: "This Ban Kui is quite responsible for his family. He evacuated so quickly."
Another person said, "After all, they are barbarians, and they are known for their high martial arts skills. Only by being careful can we be safe."
Then, Teacher Bian, who was looking at his phone, suddenly looked up and said slowly, "Just getting rid of them isn't foolproof. If anything else were stolen from the newly built factory and its equipment, Ban Kui could suffer losses and expose the true situation here."
The students looked over and asked, "So what are they going to do?"
Teacher Bian said calmly, "Actually, before Gu Lexin left, she was asked by Guard Captain Donna to do a small favor."
"What?"
"Pull out the explosives buried near the factory and ignite them at the slightest sign of movement."
Students: …???
What is this called, mutual destruction, the ultimate one-for-one?
Xia Ying, who was on a video call with Teacher Bian, was the first to grasp the situation. "It's clear they'd rather suffer losses than let others take advantage. They didn't leave even a single screw behind. It's just... their methods were a bit crude."
Teacher Bian smiled and replied, "This is also the strength of the Banque people: they are resolute and decisive, and never hesitate when it comes to making decisions."
Xia Ying continued to express his agreement.
Although Xia has been staying on the Zhouguo grassland recently, as one of the vice presidents of the student union, he is also concerned about Ban Kui's mission.
Even if there are only data on paper, it is not difficult to see the temper of the green-eyed people.
He is very simple-minded. Once he believes in the identities of Langyun and his group, he will move forward without any doubt.
They were also very decisive and easily gave up the belief that had lasted for hundreds of years, and directly turned the statue into a safety helmet brought by the people of Langyun.
And there is no need to worry that they will encounter scammers, because these people will still deal with the bad guys directly.
There was no interrogation or sentencing.
She kills everyone she sees. From Donna's words, we can tell that she has wiped out entire groups before.
When Xia Ying thought of this, he suddenly felt fortunate: "Fortunately, it was you who went there."
Teacher Bian asked with a smile, "What do you mean by that?"
Xia Ying smiled back and said, "I'm praising you."
At the same time, I kept saying in my mind:
If you want to control a group of wolves, you probably have to use sophisticated tactics to succeed.
Thinking about all the things Teacher Bian did before, I always feel that it’s a waste of talent for him to be a teacher…
At this time, Teacher Bian tapped his phone screen a few times and said, "There's news from Ji Liang that they're about to bring the barbarians back." He paused, "And there's quite a bit of silver."
Xia Ying was surprised: "Didn't they say those barbarians came here to rob us? They also brought gold and silver?"
Teacher Bian replied, "That's not the case. They were just a bunch of pirates trying to rob us. We just happened to run into them and wiped them out. The bounty they put on us should be enough to buy a new factory."
Xia Ying was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Didn't Ban Kui strictly control his speech and not leak any information?"
Teacher Bian smiled and said, "There is a treasure, but it's just a rumor. It's the same style as the one on the grassland. I made it."
Xia Ying: ...
oh.
Then he looked out the window.
On the vast grassland, many bandits who were deceived by the same lies and sent to "labor reform" are working hard to contribute to the development of the grassland.
Xia Ying couldn't help but say, "Come to think of it, Chi Wu had already risen to the position of foreman through his own efforts, but then... after toiling away for half a year, he was suddenly back to where he was before liberation." He paused, "When the grasslands gave him the locator, they promised to ensure his safety."
Teacher Bian thought of the barbarian whom he had met several times before and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I think Chiwu will be able to understand the situation well. At worst, he can even lead a dance class."
Xia Ying: ...Ah?
At this time, the barbarians also finished their cultural performance and got off the boat obediently.
Then they actively cooperated and had their eyes blindfolded and their hands tied, and got on the carriage one by one and headed towards the royal city.
After most of the barbarians were imprisoned, Chiwu was taken away alone.
When he took off his blindfold, what he saw was a newly built house, a bright hall, and Teacher Bian with a smile on his face.
The moment the red-haired barbarian saw him, he cried out "Ah".
Donna on the side was startled: "What's wrong with you?"
This voice sounded like someone stepped on the tail.
Chi Wu did not answer. All he could think about at that moment was the bumpy ride, the pain of seasickness, and the helplessness after being threatened by fire. He was overwhelmed with grief and rushed over to hug Teacher Bian's legs, as if he had seen a relative, crying in grievance.
This development stunned everyone, except Teacher Bian, who was unsurprised. He bent down slightly, patted his back and said soothingly, "Thank you for your hard work along the way. Didn't the things I gave you get discovered?"
Chi Wu also knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly let go of her hand, raised his sleeve and wiped his face vigorously, sobbing twice more before saying, "Xian, Xianjun, don't worry, everything is fine."
After saying that, he wanted to hand over the button-sized object hidden in his sleeve.
But soon he stopped, turned his eyes around twice, and didn't take it out.
Teacher Bian seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said softly, "As for the purpose of your and the other barbarians' coming, as long as you don't tell me, I don't think the Banqui people will ask."
As soon as these words came out, Chi Wu's eyes began to light up, and he immediately said, "Don't worry, Immortal, we definitely won't do that... No, that's not right. We originally came here to make our own contribution to the better development of Bankui!"
What follows is a series of expressions of loyalty.
Perhaps because he was too anxious, Chiwu's words were a mixture of common language and barbarian language.
Basically I just don't understand.
Donna, the only Banqua person present, was even more confused, but she didn't care.
In other words, she didn't believe a single word Chi Wu said.
But the captain of the guards still stood there quietly, with a calm expression, as if it was not her who had just threatened to wipe out the group at sea.
Just as Chi Wu was about to pour out all his good words, Teacher Bian finally spoke: "I still believe in your desire to stay in Bankui."
This made the red-haired barbarian feel relieved, and at the same time he felt grateful in his heart that someone on the grassland must have said something good about him.
So, Chiwu looked at Teacher Bian eagerly and asked, "Then, can my people and I stay in Bankui?"
But in fact, Tana did speak well of him, but it was not enough to make Teacher Bian change his mind.
What really allowed the barbarians to stay was reality.
Teacher Bian knew very well that these people had nowhere to go now. They had offended the Barbarian Kingdom, and neither Qi nor Zhou could tolerate them. Other small countries followed suit, so naturally they would not let them go.
Crossing the ocean is a last resort.
In other words, once they arrived in Banque, they had to find a way to take root here.
In addition, the barbarians respect the strong. In simple terms, if you can't win, just admit defeat.
Let them stay in Banque. With their strong arms, they are definitely good materials for infrastructure construction. They are the kind of labor force that can be delivered to your door automatically. Don't waste them.
So, Teacher Bian smiled and said, "I still need to discuss something with the Queen. You should go back and rest first."
What is used is rest, not detention.
Apparently, half of the work was already done.
Chi Wu, who had just collapsed into a ball, suddenly stood up straight, bowed deeply to Teacher Bian with tears of gratitude, then put on a blindfold and let Donna take him away.
When he opened his eyes and saw that it was a prison, he did not feel lost at all, but instead was all smiles.
This look surprised the barbarian leader: "Why are you laughing for no reason? Are you still seasick?"
Chi Wu did not answer immediately, but looked outside.
After making sure that Banque's guards were far away and Donna had left, he approached the leader and whispered in barbarian language, "I think we can stay in Banque from now on."
The leader heard this and couldn't help but look bitter: "Of course we have to stay. We can't escape even if we want to."
Chi Wu smiled and replied, "What I mean is that we can stay and work. If we are lucky, we may be able to stay in Bankui for a long time."
Just one sentence made the leader stand up suddenly.
The Banqui guard outside stared at him and shouted sternly, "Sit back!"
It was in Banquay, which they could not understand.
But the leader understood the other party's intention just by looking at his movements. He squatted down again obediently and then whispered, "Are you serious?"
"certainly."
"How much is the salary for work?"
Chi Wu looked at his leader in surprise.
I thought this person would be overjoyed to know that he could save his life, but I didn't expect that his first reaction was to ask for wages.
He is worthy of being a leader, his mental quality is really strong.
Chi Wu sighed in his heart, but shook his head and said, "We haven't discussed wages yet. Now is not the time."
The leader was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"
Chi Wu patiently explained, "To put it mildly, we are homeless refugees, but to put it bluntly, we are captives captured by Ban Kui at sea. Even if we manage to get paid now, we won't be treated equally. Once we start from a low point, it's hard to change it later."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, drew a curve on the ground, and wrote a few numbers.
The chief looked at it but didn't understand.
Chi Wu continued, "But if we work harder during this period and earn Ban Kui's trust, it will be easier to integrate into the team later. Asking for wages then will be better than asking for them now."
The leader obviously hadn't thought much of it. After a moment's pause, he muttered, "How come you've learned all those twists and turns from the Zhou and Qi people now?"
Chi Wu sighed and recalled his past.
From being an undercover agent to counter-undercover, to being nearly burned to death as a liar, to finally becoming a foreman after working day and night to be forced to follow the barbarians to survive in the wilderness...
With mixed feelings in his heart, he finally said only one sentence: "I just understand that people, after all, should not have too many crooked ways and evil intentions."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to be a good person."
Leader: ...
It is really unbelievable that a guy who has always been proud of being a bad guy suddenly says that he wants to be a good person.
However, although the leader could not understand the numbers and was not clear about the situation on Banqui's side, he had the most basic vigilance.
After thinking about it for a moment, he asked, "What if Banque only uses us as tools?"
Chi Wu seemed to have anticipated this question and replied directly, "From the beginning, I never intended to rely on Ban Kui as a backer."
After saying this, he carefully moved to the window and took out the button-sized iron object that he had been hiding in his sleeve. He placed it in his palm and held it under the sunlight.
The leader was stunned. It was obviously the first time he saw this thing. He asked hurriedly, "What are you doing?"
Chi Wu imitated the Langyun people and said with an unfathomable look: "Gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon."
Leader: ...Is this kid really hysterical?
Chi Wu's eyes were clear and his voice was clear: "This thing can allow the immortals to understand all our movements."
When these words were spoken, the leader was horrified.
Isn't this selling yourself out?
Boy, are you addicted to being an undercover agent?
He subconsciously tried to draw his sword, but found nothing. Then he realized that his sword had been taken away by the Banqui people long ago.
Chi Wu, however, remained calm: "Brother, think about it from another angle. With this, we are the most trusted people of the immortals. Even as believers, we are in the first echelon."
Leader: "...What do you mean?"
Chi Wu looked at him calmly, emphasizing each word: "During this period of time, I have seen clearly that the most stable country on this continent is not Qi or Zhou, but Langyun. They are the most stable support."
The leader was still a little hesitant: "But this sounds a bit cowardly..."
As a result, Chi Wu grabbed his wrist.
The red-haired barbarian looked at him with a piercing gaze, his tone very confident: "Since you've decided to hug someone's thigh, naturally you should hug the thickest one. It's not decent to eat for free, but it smells good."
Leader: ...
