I have roughly sorted out the problem we will encounter next, which is how the two sides get along. Although Hu Lingshang said that they treat me as a king, whether I can really be a good king is very crucial.

When Yingchun was in charge of the hyenas, she killed the hyena queen and took her place. With the position of kingship, she was able to manage the hyenas with ease. But I can't do that. They came to me and trusted me, but I killed their queen. Wouldn't that be as despicable as Peter the Curse? So this is a problem. Are we allies and neighbors, or superiors and subordinates? This is a big problem for future management.

First of all, if the hyenas have recovered a little and make mistakes here, who should punish them, the hyenas themselves or us? This is very important, because although it seems harmonious now, people's true nature will be revealed over time. If we don't take it into consideration, it will be embarrassing if we meet them in the future. After all, the hyenas have done bad things in the past, and being pitiful now does not mean being pitiful in the future.

Secondly, if a war breaks out, how should we arrange the battle and how should we unify the orders?

Finally, the most serious question is, once we defeat the powerful enemy, what will they do? If they are superiors and subordinates to us, I am the master and they are the ministers, then perhaps I can declare them disbanded and let them return to their hometown and regain their freedom, but if they are neighbors and allies, then it is not so simple. After all, as the old saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends.

In this wild world, peace is a luxury and threats are always present. I have to take these into consideration. After all, this concerns the vital interests of the people I want to protect. I cannot be naive and think that everything will go through harmoniously. Therefore, only by putting the problems out there and considering solving and eliminating them can we ensure that our relationship can be sustainable, stable and safe.

I also wrote it down with a black charcoal pencil on a relatively flat stone I found so I wouldn't forget.

"These things must be made clear, otherwise it will be just like Bai Lu said, adding burden and threat to myself." I muttered.

Not long after, Hu Lingshang came back. It was the two hyena men in armor who were guarding the gate who opened the door. She brought back a lot of fruits, which she generously shared with the gatekeepers. She took the rest back and called Yunwen to come downstairs to eat some with her. There were ripe peaches, pears, plums and the like. Yunwen came downstairs upon hearing the voice, and Bai Lu also came over. Everyone sat around the dining table and prepared to eat fruit.

After putting the fruits in a wicker basket and washing them in the spring pool in the backyard during the White Dew Festival, we sat around the table and tasted these natural, pesticide-free delicious fruits, chewing them with our mouths full of juiciness, which was really refreshing. Normally, Hu Lingshang would not climb to the top of the Diaolou Mountain to pick fruits. Today, she must have felt that there were guests at home, so she went to pick a lot for me and wanted to show her hospitality on my behalf, so she went there specially.

On weekdays, we don't have this fruit and snack party at this time of the night. Since there is one more today, I think it will give me a chance to speak. I was worried that I would forget what I had just said, so when everyone at the table had almost finished eating, I said, "Since everyone is here, I just want to discuss something with you."

So, I told them almost everything I had just sorted out. The girls couldn't help but ponder, except Song Bailu, who said directly: "That's right, these problems are hidden dangers. It's a matter of probability and there is no way to solve them. Besides, for these guys who kidnapped Yingchun and killed her in the end, I don't think they have any good character. My suggestion is to drive them away directly and don't have any more contact with them."

"I refute that Yingchun was killed by herself. We don't need to prove this. Some people escaped because of Song Yingchun's abuse at that time, but now they start to defend her. It's hard to understand. As for your concerns, Zhou Bo, they are indeed crucial, but you have to wait until I teach them sign language. Then I will ask the hyena queen clearly how she plans to cooperate, and then we can discuss what to do next." Yunwen said.

"Here you go again, Zhang Yunwen, why have you become so wild and rebellious now? Isn't Yingchun's distorted personality due to the hyena man? Since you knew this, why did you let Zhou Bo keep her?" Song Bailu said angrily.

"Stop! Stop arguing. Whoever starts arguing will have no decision-making power in the future," I said.

The two girls could not help but hug their shoulders and sneer.

"Zhou Lang, not bad, you have begun to show the demeanor of a king, very good! These concerns are indeed what we should discuss, but my idea is that regarding the second point, how to fight, we should immediately make battle flags, use flags as signals, and use flags as orders. For the time being, we can arrange combat instructions. You can follow Li Mufeng's approach. At that time, he fought with large and small flags. The battle formations of the Milong Camp were constantly changing, all relying on flags. So this is my suggestion. As for the rest, we can only know after Sister Yunwen succeeds in communicating with the Hyena Queen." Hu Lingshang said.

I didn't expect this, and it's fortunate that she reminded me. If so, when Song Yingchun was in charge of these hyena people, didn't she also bring out the ghost dragon's flag? It seems that from now on, this is really the only thing that can be done, and it is relatively critical.

So, for the next few days, we were all making flags. It was a relatively long process from formulating the plan to implementing it. After all, after finding the right fabric, Yunwen drew the pattern with charcoal, and then used needle and thread to take apart other clothes and embroider them stitch by stitch. During this period, there was not enough fabric for the clothes, so we had to go to the castle to find some clothes to supplement it.

Of course, in addition to making flags to facilitate unified commands these days, Hu Lingshang and I would often go out to check the situation to see if there were any traces of the curser. However, the places we should look for, such as the nearby dangerous jungle areas, the hyena territory, the cliff where he fell into the sea, Xiying City, and even near the wild goats on the mountain on the west side of the canyon, there were almost no signs of anything.

This makes us puzzled. He must have come back, otherwise the massacre of the hyena people would not have happened. But now we can't find any trace of him, and we don't know what he is doing now. This makes us even more uneasy. The only clue is that we picked up the same root in the hyena people's territory. Although it was the end, I could smell that it was the root of heaven and earth.

Another progress was that Yunwen researched some methods and started to teach the hyena queen sign language. Since the hyena queen could understand some of our words, it was relatively convenient to teach her. The hyena queen was very smart, and if she encountered something she didn't understand, she would immediately wave her hands. Yunwen then drew on a piece of wood with charcoal and taught the relevant sign language. After the hyena queen became familiar with it, she would erase it and use it as a blackboard.

The Hyena Queen learned and also taught the nearby armored guards to review. Gradually, her vocabulary increased. After a week, she could communicate with Yunwen using some simple words and sentences. Of course, she couldn't express too complex words for the time being, so she could only talk about some simple situations. For example, Yunwen used sign language to ask the hyenas if they would listen to Zhou Bo?

The hyena queen's answer at that time was to raise a finger of her left hand (because its structure is different from that of ordinary people, it is probably the index finger), and cross the other three fingers of her right hand except the thumb with it horizontally and vertically to form the word "king".

Based on this relationship, the hyenas have recognized me as their king, so this is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, not as simple as allies and neighbors. The other two questions no longer need to be asked. Since I am the supreme lord, everything should be centered on me, including before and after the war.

However, Yunwen and I cannot answer the questions about why they came to seek refuge and what happened to them for the time being. However, Yunwen learned one thing, which was that the hyena queen took the initiative to mention it to her, expressing it in sign language, saying that many people would come here.

In addition, the hyena people have dug up the walls of the tunnel, forming nests that are convenient for them to live in.

In the blink of an eye, another week had passed. We were getting along more and more harmoniously with the hyena people. They were self-sufficient and could even "pay tribute" to us, so we ate more and more food, which was not a big deal for the time being.

Everything else is fine, but what I’m worried about now is what the Hyena Queen said. I’m thinking about how many people will come. Are these people related to the Curser, and are they also related to the Root of Heaven and Earth?
