Chapter 78 Refugees and Turmoil

Lin You flipped over and jumped off the back of Mu Ranshi.

When the refugees who had been gathered together saw the extremely ferocious Mu Ran Lion beside him, they were so frightened that they all huddled in a corner, trembling.

Xue Changgui explained: "I heard from them that the newly arrived lord of Shuangye City was at odds with the original lord of the city, and a fight broke out. They were all affected and fled here."

"A fight broke out?" Lin You frowned.

"That's right." Xue Changgui responded.

"I have seen the mayor of Shuangye City before. He is very powerful and has many talented people under his command. He has ruled Shuangye City for many years and is probably unwilling to give up control of Shuangye City."

"Is there anything else?"

Lin You was startled.

He knew that the Lord of Futaba City was a cultivator, but he didn't expect that he would be strong enough to challenge a sixth-level lord.

Moreover, it seems that the city lord has been entrenched in Shuangye City for many years and has developed a lot of power under his control. It is obviously not easy to seize control from him.

This lord is also unlucky to have encountered such a thing.

Moreover, this happened when the troops had just arrived and their power had not yet developed.

If that's the case, then wouldn't he be able to take advantage of the opportunity to reap some benefits?

Gradually, Lin You's eyes lit up.

Just as he was thinking about the specific plan, several refugees suddenly rushed out of the crowd and knelt down in front of him.

"Lord, please have mercy on us and let us stay here. We can do anything! As long as we have something to eat!"

"Please, Lord, take us in. We have nowhere else to go."

"We promise that we won't mess around!"

The refugees cried and kowtowed.

Even the other refugees gradually began to kowtow and their voices of pleading became one and the same.

It seemed like they were really afraid that Lin You would drive them away.

After all, once you leave this Yellow Sand City, you will reach the Gobi Desert filled with monsters, and going in will only lead to death.

Lin You was very curious about how they got here, so he asked, "This place is so far away from Shuangye City, there should be a lot of monsters. How did you get here?"

"this"

The people paused and looked at a stern-looking middle-aged man in the crowd.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man no longer hid, stood up and slowly walked to Lin You, bowing deeply.

"Greetings, Lord."

"Who are you."

Lin You kept looking at the man with a puzzled look.

Because he vaguely felt an aura from the other person that was completely different from that of ordinary people, powerful and restrained.

Then he thought of something and suddenly asked, "Are you a cultivator?"

"My lord, yes, but my strength is low and I can only barely reach the fifth level." The man bowed deeply to Lin You again.

A fifth-level cultivator! Lin You was extremely surprised.

I didn't expect to meet the legendary practitioner under such circumstances.

No wonder these refugees could come here from Shuangye City. Now he finally understood the reason.

He asked, "What's your name? With your strength, you shouldn't have become a refugee, right?"

"My Lord," the man lowered his head. "My name is Wei Gang. I fled Shuangye City with the refugees because I didn't like the cruelty of the Lord of Shuangye City."

He spoke these words neither humbly nor arrogantly, and even contained a hint of arrogance.

This made Lin Yougao look up to him a lot.

And judging from his action of protecting refugees, Wei Gang is obviously a compassionate person.

Lin You would naturally not let go of such a talent easily.

He thought for a moment and said, "Wei Gang, huh? I see you're quite capable. Are you interested in working for me? I'm planning to form a guard team, and I'm still short of a guard leader."

Lin You made this decision after careful consideration.

Huangsha City has begun to develop gradually, but it does not even have a decent guard team, let alone anyone to maintain order.

How does this look like a territory?

The appearance of Wei Gang just happened to solve a big problem for him, so he brought it up. Anyway, the fifth level posed no threat to him.

Wei Gang didn't seem to expect Lin You to invite him so directly.

Seeing that Lin You was serious and not pretending, he immediately became serious and replied solemnly: "If the Lord does not mind, I will do my best!"

"Very good. From now on, you will be the leader of my Huangsha City's guard team."

Lin You was very satisfied with Wei Gang's answer.

With the addition of this fifth-level cultivator, the defense of Huangsha City will become much safer. If possible, he can also help train those children, and perhaps discover a few good cultivators.

Just like that, after another conversation, the refugees were handed over to Xue Changgui for arrangements.

Huangsha City is short of people right now, so Lin You wouldn't be stupid enough to push these people out.

At the same time, he also brought Wei Gang into the city to inquire about matters concerning Shuangye City.

You won’t know unless you ask.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The current Futaba City has been completely divided into two factions.

One is the old city lord's side, a conservative faction composed of practitioners.

One is the newly arrived lord, a welcoming party composed of soldiers and some practitioners.

The two sides fought fiercely inside Futaba Castle, fighting for control.

The people of Futaba Castle were caught in the middle, some fled, some ran away, and they were suffering terribly.

"Then do you know how many level six warriors there are on both sides?"

After listening to Wei Gang’s explanation, Lin You immediately asked the most crucial question.

Wei Gang, in order to show his loyalty, also spoke without hesitation, and immediately said, "My Lord, the old city lord should have about fifty level six warriors."

"Although the new lord only has a dozen level 6 summons, he has quite a few level 6 practitioners supporting him. The total number is no less than that of the old city lord."

"so much?"

Lin You was a little surprised and even jealous.

Look at others, they have so many strong supporters as soon as they arrive.

Look at him again. At the beginning, there was only an abandoned city. Not to mention the cultivators, even the people were almost all running away.

The only advantage is that you don't have to encounter the trouble of confronting the old forces, which saves a lot of effort.

Given the current situation in Shuangye City, if he intervened rashly, it would probably cause hostility from both sides, and he might even be regarded as an outsider and be suppressed by the whole group.

If both parties unite to deal with him, he will not gain any benefit.

It turns out that we still have to stay alive and develop first, and then improve our overall strength.

Anyway, those two powers are busy fighting and won't pay attention to this side for a while.

By the time they are both defeated, he will have already developed, and it will not be too late to make a decision then depending on the situation.

Thinking of this, he continued: "In this case, I will give you a task first."

"Just follow my lord's orders." Wei Gang bowed slightly.

Then, Lin You told Wei Gang about his plan to take in more refugees, and asked him to take people to wait on the road.

Once we find any refugees fleeing here, we will immediately bring them back to Huangsha City.

And you can take as many as you want.

This plan immediately made Wei Gang a little puzzled.

"My Lord, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but too many refugees may not be a good thing. It may easily lead to unrest. Given the current situation in Huangsha City, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do so."

That's what the words mean.

Huangsha City is too weak now and cannot manage so many people.

Because in Wei Gang's opinion, since Lin You has come to such a desolate and barren place, the strength of his subordinates must not be strong.

And that is indeed the case.

Along the way, he did not find any other cultivators in the city. Even Lin You only had a sixth-level summoned creature with him.

The strength can be imagined.
