Trying to reason with these hyenas and talking about morality and ethics would certainly be useless and counterproductive, and that kind of condemning attitude would only increase hatred. Yunwen cleverly avoided this and directly explained the facts and the hyenas' current situation, letting them make their own choice. The hyenas were used to being enslaved, and when Yunwen mentioned the fact that Huahua was dead, she made them admit that the previous leader did not exist, and since the order no longer existed, they no longer had the order to kill me.

When I came out of the post station before, I paid special attention to the hyena people setting up stalls. The way they looked at me showed a bit of regret, because they knew that Huahua was planning to ambush and kill me. Since it was regret, it meant that they had feelings for me and had not forgotten my kindness. Yunwen might have noticed this when she followed me at that time.

Therefore, she was full of confidence in this negotiation, also because she felt that the public opinion of the hyena people held a great bargaining chip.

The hyena people's loyalty and slavery to one master have existed for five hundred years. It is their inertia, so Yunwen made reasonable use of this inertia to let the hyena people see the situation clearly and understand that what they should do now is not to be conservative, but to welcome their new master, that is, me.

"I understand, but why are they so respectful to you? Didn't you say that I was their new king, but they seem to listen to you?" I said.

At this point, Yunwen blushed, coughed, and said, "Silly, can't you see this? Do I need to tell you?"

Seeing her shy look and the fact that she said it so matter-of-factly, I thought about it for a moment and understood. I immediately said, "You mean, you are my wife, so they will start to listen to you, right?"

Yunwen covered her face, her face was as red as a ripe apple. She stamped her feet, bit her lips, and was very shy. Then she said to me with a coquettish tone, wanting to say something but stopping herself, "Yes, is it necessary to be so blunt? The big fang said that you killed their king and that Huahua is also its wife. It probably means that it wants to kill you for both public and private reasons. I told it that I am a princess just like it, so I told it that as a princess, the greatest responsibility is to protect your own people and the weak who should be protected, not to harm them. If you kill you, Zhou Bo, there will be no one to protect the hyenas in danger in the future, and there will be no little potatoes to eat. It will only be harmful to it. It understood the relationship of interests."

I couldn't help but get closer to Yunwen, gently stroked her tender face with my hands, looked into her gentle eyes, and said, "Are you my princess?"

Yunwen nodded, her pretty face turning even redder.

Seeing her like this, I kissed her on the lips. She was immersed in the kiss for a while, and then I let her go. I said, "You have to keep your word. This is the seal of approval."

Yunwen burst out laughing, her smile was very sweet.

I had never thought that such a victory without fighting could really happen, so I am really grateful to Yunwen. This time, turning hostility into friendship not only allowed us to escape, but also made the hyenas once again acknowledge that I am their king. That is to say, after Huahua's death, the ruling power is firmly in my hands alone.

The power is already in my hands.

And with the precedent of hyena people being enslaved for more than 500 years, they can continue to listen to me from generation to generation, which means that I have truly gained a group of labor force. It is a bad thing turned into a good thing, a blessing in disguise.

Now that the crisis has been resolved and the hyena people have begun to respectfully acknowledge me as the leader of their tribe, the next thing will be easy, which is to command the three armies and return to the post station.

I now seem to understand the saying, two dragons fly together, the universe coexists, I saved Yunwen, and Yunwen also saved me, and now we can not only survive, but also return with glory, doesn't it prove those eight words? It can be seen that the teaching of senior Li Mufeng is extremely philosophical, and the dragon-seeking dagger is still hanging on Yunwen and my neck, which is the best proof.

With Yunwen's ability to communicate with all things, basically no problem whatsoever I want to issue orders. Yunwen and I can just ride on Sanfu. There are about ten hyena soldiers, plus five mermaids (one stayed behind the iron gate as a stepping stone for the human pyramid). They lined up in neat rows and stood in two rows, like our personal guards. The mermaids are tall, so we let them follow behind us.

The gate was opened, and we followed in, returning along the same route, passing the underground factory, the outer perimeter of the earthen tower, the earth slope, the water pond, and a slightly longer mountain road, until we arrived at the fruit forest area, where we asked the hyenas to look for some fruit. It was already autumn, and all the fruits that should be ripe were ripe, so if we didn't pick them now, they would rot, and that would be a waste of resources.

After picking, there are about four or five small bags. Those bags were used by the special class to hold stones. Now all the stones are poured out, leaving the empty bags to hold the fruits. There are still quite a lot of them. I will go back and ask Bai Lu to find a way to deal with them. Maybe I can make some dried fruits and preserve them as food for the winter.

However, when he thought of Song Bailu, he still felt a little uneasy. After all, only a part of the hyena people had surrendered, and they were basically male hyena people. The female hyena people were all below. He hoped that Bailu would not be hurt.

After passing the orchard area, we arrived at the downslope of Diaolou Mountain. Going down all the way, we reached the middle area near the hole dug by the hyena people. At this time, the hyena people who were killed by the stones swung by the Jinque Sword were still lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. Especially Huahua's body, whose head was blown off, and no one dared to move.

I gave the order and Yunwen translated for me. Big Fang then took all the male hyenas to deal with the corpse. Under my instruction, they went to pick up dry firewood and hay. There is strength in numbers, and the ten hyenas quickly found these things. After spreading out the firewood and hay, Yunwen and I dismounted and bowed in front of Huahua's headless corpse, as a farewell to that special cross-species fate. In addition, this move also showed some respect for the hyena tribe.

Then the squad leader of the second squad, Tiehuan, brought a torch and I used it to light the firewood pile. Not long after, smoke rose. The hyenas who died in this incident, including two female hyenas who were killed on the spot, two hyena soldiers from the third squad who were holding wooden stake shields, and the hyena queen Huahua, were all burned to ashes under the fire.

After finishing all this, I asked Yunwen to tell the mermaids to go back early, so that those who needed to recuperate could recuperate, and those who needed to rest could rest. Now that the mermaids could communicate with Yunwen, they also asked if they could come back to barter in the future. I thought about it and told them to come back in three days, and then they all went back home.

These chaotic situations have gradually been calmed down, and the only thing that worries me is that now all the female hyena people are not on the hillside. Since they are not on the hillside, they have only one place to go, and that is the post station. Female hyena people have always been the powerful among the hyena people. It is hard to say whether they will be as easy to persuade as these hyena soldiers. In addition, since they are at the post station, will Bai Lu be threatened?

So after we had dealt with all this, we went down the mountain and arrived outside the post station, where we saw that they were indeed there. The entire yard was basically full of them, both big and small. In the inner room, the door was also open, and the person sitting inside was the little hyena man whom I had seen before, the little princess in Huahua's bedroom, and the crown prince.

Although it was small, it sat at our dining table, while Bailu could only stand aside, shivering, holding a bowl of food. The only smell was the aroma of roasted potatoes, and the little crown prince ate it, while the female hyenas stood beside Bailu in a threatening manner.

I roughly understood what it meant. Before I could give the order, Big Fang walked in. It looked like he wanted to have a word with the little crown prince, the daughter of him and Huahua. Well, as a biological father, he might have some privileges, but hyenas are a matriarchal society, and I don't know if dad's words will work.

"I hope it works, so Sister Bailu can be safe." Yunwen said.

"Yes, but it depends on whether the child is a naughty kid," I said.

Just as I was still joking, Big Fang suddenly fell down, blood spurting out of his throat, and he collapsed.
