Diao Chan turned around, nodded and smiled at Zhang Cuihua, who immediately responded cautiously.

"Lord City Lord, where am I? Where am I?"

When Li Heiniu saw Han Xin being praised, his comparison mentality was suddenly aroused.

This kid Han Xin owes part of his own contribution to his great victory!

"Heiniu, you are also very powerful. You can bring so much food to the city every day!"

"Hehehe, Lord City Lord, this is what I should do."

Li Heiniu was praised and laughed innocently.

"Okay, you don't have to go out to work in the morning. Have a good rest. After you have rested, you will go out to work in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

Li Heiniu and three other farmers were overjoyed.

Cao Qingtian's operation increased the loyalty of the three hunting farmers by five points.

This is what Cao Qingtian had expected.

These farmers are very simple and honest. If you treat them a little better, they will be very moved.

Li Heiniu and three farmers with attributes returned from hunting this time and added more than a thousand units of food to the city.

Among these animal carcasses were wolves, cows, and even tigers. Of course, the most common ones were wolves.

After Cao Qingtian asked them to leave the animal carcasses for disposal, he turned to look at Zhang Shouhou and the crowd of people beside him.

"Zhang Shouhou, who are these people?"

As soon as Cao Qingtian asked, these people's faces showed nervous expressions. If the city lord does not accept them, then they can only continue to wander around. If they are unlucky enough to encounter beasts, Yellow Turbans and bandits, , I can’t even imagine the consequences.

"Lord City Lord, I met these people when I was exploring outside."

"Tell me the details."

"Sir, Lord City Lord, I had just gone out in the morning when I saw a burst of thick smoke rising into the sky. I followed the direction of the rising black smoke and saw these people carrying packages, wives and children. Not far from the burned village."

"Later, after a while of conversation, I found out that these people were burned down by bandits from the nearby Heifeng Village because they could not pay the protection fee."

"I saw that they had nowhere to go, and our city was in the development stage and needed people, so I took the initiative and brought them back."

Cao Qingtian nodded. Zhang Shohou was right. The city now needs a population very much.

It's just that this group of people came to Cao Qingtian's city because the bandits from Heifeng Village left their hometown.

It is certainly good to increase the city's population, but it is to accept such a group of bandits who may be targeted by the Black Wind Village bandits. Is it good or bad for the currently weak city?

"Whether he is good or bad, if the bandits from Black Wind Mountain dare to come, just kill them!"

Han Xin's victory just now gave Cao Qingtian a lot of confidence to a certain extent.

At the beginning, he chose Shu for the sake of survival and growth, but since awakening to the tyrant bloodline, Cao Qingtian's thoughts have changed slightly.

Look at Liu Bei, after struggling for so long, he still failed in the end.

Perhaps, it is really not suitable to live in troubled times. Many things, such as resources, population, and people's hearts, are all up for grabs.

"You can stay."

After hearing Cao Qingtian's words, the originally nervous refugees showed expressions of gratitude, and some even knelt down directly in front of Cao Qingtian.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for taking me in. You are so kind and kind, and I will never be able to repay you in this life!"

The loyalty of these residents generally rose to 40, and the highest number actually reached 60.

These people were brought back by Zhang Shouhou during his adventures outside, and were not refugees attracted by the Unification of the World trigger, so their original loyalty was zero.

Because of Cao Qingtian's adoption, their loyalty skyrocketed.

"Okay everyone, now that you are here, you will be a part of the city from now on. I hope you can contribute to the construction of the city. I can guarantee you that you will have a place to live and food to eat. You will not be like before. I’m still worried all day long, and I can’t guarantee whether I’ll be able to eat the next meal.”

After hearing Cao Qingtian's words, these farmers suddenly became more excited.

Having a place to live and food to eat was something they would never have dared to think about before.

"But I have to say something ugly first. Once you are sure to enter the city, you will be a member of this city in this life and a ghost of this city in death!"

"It's unacceptable. You still have a chance to leave now. Otherwise, if you have second thoughts in the future, you will be killed without mercy!"

After finishing speaking, the whole place was silent and you could hear a pin drop.

At this time, Cao Qingtian completely changed his previous gentle image and appeared extremely cold-blooded.

This unfamiliar aspect shocked Diao Chan and the others for a moment.

However, Cao Qingtian didn't mean to tell them this. Cao Qingtian naturally knew that they would never betray him in this life.

A while passed, and no one present left.

"Your Majesty the City Lord, you are a handsome villain. In this life, you will be a citizen of this city, and in death, you will be a ghost of this city. You will live and die with this city until you die!"

"Lord City Lord, this is my only home from now on!"

"Me too. Since the Lord of the City has taken me in, I will only be loyal to the Lord of the City in this life. There will never be two Lords!"

Each refugee shouted indignantly.

Cao Qingtian nodded with satisfaction, and the cold aura around him disappeared instantly. He turned to Zhang Cuihua and whispered:

"Zhang Cuihua, take these people down first and make arrangements."

"Yes, Lord City Lord!"

Zhang Cuihua looked at Cao Qingtian, who was completely different from before, and felt a little distracted for a moment.

"Zhang Shouhou, please stay, I still have some things to ask you."

Zhang Shouhou was originally shocked by Cao Qingtian, but when he heard Cao Qingtian calling him, he still didn't recover for a while.

"Ah yes yes."

"Lord City Lord, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Let me ask you, how much do you know about Black Wind Village?"

"Know something."

"Speak as much as you know."

Cao Qingtian didn't mean to blame him. After all, he had just established a foothold in this area and knew nothing about the surrounding forces. Zhang Shohou only started exploring today. Even if he knew about Heifeng Village, he didn't have time to go into details. learn.

"Lord City Lord, this Heifeng Village is a bandit force with a reputation in the vicinity. It is the king of the mountain and requires every village within a hundred miles of Heifeng Mountain to pay protection fees on time every month. If the protection fee is not enough, , just like Shuaige and his village, they were completely burned down by a fire."

Cao Qingtian nodded, this Black Wind Village was really domineering and vicious in their actions.

However, Cao Qingtian was also shocked by the strength of Heifeng Village. It was no longer a trivial matter to collect protection fees within a hundred miles. The government or the Yellow Turban Army must also know about this force, and in this case, Heifeng Village still With such arrogance, the strength of Black Wind Village must be very terrifying.
