Bai Lu was pushed away by me. She glanced at Yun Wen beside her. Although she was unwilling, she just pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhou Bo. I will wait for you until the day you wake up."

I shook my head and said, "Bai Lu, you have analyzed so much but missed one point, which is to analyze yourself. Ask yourself, your sudden confession today, is it because you are afraid of the hyena people, feel insecure, and desperately want to seek my protection, that's why you said all this? If what you said is true, Yunwen and Lingshang are both staying with me because they have something to gain, then what about you?"

She frowned and was speechless for a moment.

"To be honest, I have already made it clear at the dinner table about how the hyenas should get along after the war, and now the situation has been confirmed. I just neglected this point. I should have kept them away, but seeing how much benefit they gave us, I couldn't bear to part with my temporarily recruited hyena soldiers. Also, I have been paying no attention to what is happening outside recently, so I made this mistake and let them become our neighbors. Today, I saw for the first time that they might be a threat to us." I said.

"Anyway, let me put this here. If Brother Zhou Bo doesn't believe me, then Yingchun's fate may very well be yours. I have seen with my own eyes Yingchun's depravity step by step, all because of those guys with dog faces and human bodies. She seemed to have some kind of mental hysteria that kept getting worse until she was terminally ill. I just don't want this to happen again, especially to you." Bai Lu said.

"Don't associate me with Song Yingchun. I'm not her. Okay, go back and arrange today's work. When Lingshang comes back tonight, our team will hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. There's no need to make alarmist remarks during this period." I said.

When she heard me say this, she sighed and stopped answering. After she calmed down, I continued to support her towards the yard of the post station. Yunwen still followed with a dull expression and a stiff posture.

Walking all the way back from the bottom of the hill, I passed by many hyena people who were setting up stalls. I also saw that there were already customers here, those mermaids and the particularly small rat-like creatures. They were still the same as before, bartering. The hyena people had mastered some kind of iron smelting technology, so among the items on their stalls there were many silver products, gold products, special products, decorations, weapons, etc. I guess they relied on these to attract customers and exchange these items for more precious resources. That's why the hyena queen's house was full of food.

But when I saw the direction where those mermaids and ratmen came out, I couldn't help getting angry, but I saw that they came out from the gate of our post station. It was not difficult to infer that they came out from the tunnel of our post station, but in this way, they would inevitably trample on the potato planting area in our yard, and besides, it would affect our privacy too much.

On the way back, I saw customers coming in one after another, so I decided to make this matter a top priority for today's meeting. During this time, I also saw the big fang patrolling nearby. When it saw me this time, it actually dodged, not only physically but also with its eyes. Then, when we were about to meet, it could only bring its subordinates and give me that non-standard military salute.

I looked at it, its eyes were a little wandering, swaying from side to side, not as brave and resolute as they were during the previous training, it seemed to have seen something. So I didn't return the greeting, but just kept going forward, and when I turned around, I saw it leaving with a few subordinates, mumbling something, not caring at all.

After passing by these hyena people and these visiting customers, I finally returned to the gate of the courtyard. I saw that the mermaids who were more than two meters or even nearly three meters tall had already knocked the wood on the top of the door frame of the courtyard loose. I was afraid that it would soon fall apart. To get into my house, I had to climb up for a long time and wait for a group of mermaids to come out of my house before I could take the two girls in.

For a moment, I didn't understand whose territory the post station yard belonged to.

But at least I got into the yard, and when I saw this scene, I was immediately furious. Many of the potato seedlings that we had worked so hard to grow were trampled. You know, the most important thing for survival in the wild is resources. With resources, you can do anything, and among these resources, food resources are naturally the most critical. But so many potato seedlings were trampled at once, affecting the next harvest. How could I bear it?

"This is too much!" I turned around and was about to go outside again, planning to argue with the hyena queen Huahua. However, as soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Hu Lingshang sitting on the courtyard wall and stopped me.

"Zhou Lang, I'm afraid going there this time won't solve the problem. Besides, we need to get to the bottom of it and we can't be rash and make a verdict. This will wrongly accuse people and affect the neighborhood relationship. It will make both sides suffer in the future and it's not a proper way to do it." Hu Lingshang said.

I sneered and said, "What do you mean? Am I afraid of this influence? In the final analysis, you really want to maintain this neighborhood relationship so that your fox tribe can have better protection here. There will be someone to guard the gate for them. If there are enemies coming, there will be someone to block arrows for them, reducing the probability of them being targeted, right? So you come to persuade me."

"Zhou Lang, what do you mean by that?" After saying that, Hu Lingshang floated down from the courtyard wall and came in front of me.

"What do you mean? Well, I was planning to hold an emergency meeting after you came back. Now that everyone is here, I will tell you what I mean. First, these hyena people have already shown their intentions. Not only have they started to disrespect me and behave wildly, but they also scratched Bailu who went to treat them. Therefore, I think they are a threat. Secondly, this yard was built by Yunwen and I, every blade of grass and every brick. I also spent time and energy to plant those potatoes. However, the neighbors not only let strangers walk around in my yard without regard for our territory, but also let them trample on my fruits of labor. Therefore, I don't think we can be neighbors. That's what I mean. Do you understand?" I said.

Seeing that I was angry, Hu Lingshang came close to me, stroked my face with her hand, and said with a smile, "Zhou Lang, I told you before that you are the king here. As a king, you should have the courage and mind of a king. It's just that I stepped on some plants and was disrespected. You want to punish me. Isn't it too petty? You might as well wait until you calm down and go to communicate with him to avoid making the situation worse. What do you think?"

I pushed her hand away and said, "It seems that Bai Lu is right. To you, I am just a use. Using a false title of King Zun to make me work for you is your strategy. Today I finally understand that you and Huahua are just beasts after all, jackals, tigers and leopards. No matter what you look like, you can't change the ugliness and selfishness in your hearts. I've had enough."

Hu Lingshang frowned slightly and said, "Zhou Lang, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so unreasonable?"

"Hu Lingshang, you've had enough of the acting. There's no need to pretend like this anymore. Didn't you always take advantage of me in the past? Now you're still like a dog that can't change its nature. You're finding new ways to take advantage of me. I'm not a fool, so... please leave and go back to your Xiying City. You don't have to worry about what's happening here." I said.

She stared at me blankly, her calm eyes suddenly wandering, and when she fixed her eyes again, there was a hint of disgust in them, and she said, "So in Zhou Lang's eyes, I am nothing but a dog that eats shit. I understand, today is worse than tomorrow. I will leave now and will not bother you any more."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. I realized that I seemed to have exaggerated and gone too far, so I immediately chased after her and held her hand. She shook it lightly, and because I used too much strength, I was pulled back in the air. After all, Hu Lingshang was a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox, so it was normal for her to have some special strength. After she shook me, the two forces intertwined, and I rolled backwards for several times before I stabilized and fell to the ground.

Bailu hurried over to help me, while Hu Lingshang turned to look at me, then looked at Song Bailu, sighed, and called the little red foxes with a special voice. The red foxes seemed to be aware of the situation and were reluctant to leave. They looked back every few steps, making choking sounds in their throats, and kept looking back at Sanfu. Finally, they followed Lingshang out of the courtyard gate and listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away.

I lay on the ground, feeling lost.
