Qilian Mountain Village.

A large open-air earth pit located on the left side of the mountain village is the prison of Qilian Mountain Village.

Most of the people detained in the prison are farmers from villages near the villages, and of course there are many women, which is inevitable.

Accompanied by Wang Meng and the others, Gu Chuan walked down from the wooden prison in the pit.

When he was detained, due to the darkness underground, he didn't know how many people were imprisoned in this prison.

As we approached the wooden bail, the ignited torches provided a faint light at both ends of the dark corridor.

Inside the wooden prison.

The prisoners with disheveled heads and dirty faces all over the body looked at the three people wandering in the wooden prison, quietly shrank into the corner, and looked at the ground nervously, not daring to look up.

It seemed as if the three of them were evil spirits.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chuan touched his cheek awkwardly, and whispered to Wang Meng and the others behind him:

"Take them out and wash them clean, and then take them to Juyi Hall."

Hearing this.

Everyone in Mulao immediately turned pale and their foreheads were sweating coldly. They stopped pretending to be dead and climbed to the wooden railing.

"Sir, it's not delicious."

"Sir, look at my skinny body, there really isn't much meat, don't eat me."

Gu Chuan did not explain to them. All of these people were half dead, and they couldn't understand even if they explained it.

final.

Under the threat of Wang Meng and Yu Meng, two big men, the men, obediently walked out of the wooden prison.

Many of them wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall, but were stopped one by one.

.............

Juyi Hall.

Gu Chuan sat on the high seat and looked at the cramped people below.

The villagers who washed and put on the worn-out clothes of the bandits made him look much more pleasant.

The villagers stood in the hall and looked at Gu Chuan with fear on their faces, their lips trembling constantly.

After everyone's expressions were calm, Gu Chuan slowly spoke: "Give you a choice, join us..."

Not to be finished yet.

Several villagers hurriedly said, "The young one is willing to join, and they are willing to join."

Gu Chuan ignored these scared villagers and continued: "Don't rush to agree, listen to me."

"After joining, you will be sent to your respective villages to be responsible for the tasks of collecting grain and grass, inquiring information, etc."

"Responsively, your village will be protected by our Qilian Mountain Village."

"And you will also become the village chiefs recognized by our Qilian Mountain Village."

After saying that, Gu Chuan sat silently on the high seat and watched the villagers' reactions.

The seven high mountains to which the Qilian Mountains belong are the boundary mountains between the northern Mo and the 100,000 mountains.

It is also the gateway to the 100,000 mountains in the northern part of the Mo area.

It starts from Wutong forbidden area in the west, reaches the Hanhai Gobi Desert in the middle, and reaches the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the east.

Because the land is dependent on 100,000 mountains, commerce and trade are prosperous, but this has also led to the proliferation of bandits.

And because there is no strong government or major forces to suppress it, ordinary people's lives are very difficult.

This situation is very common throughout Mobei.

Except for a few areas where there are large forces, ordinary people's lives are relatively stable.

In most areas, ordinary people in their lives are basically rampant today, and bandits will enter the village tomorrow.

It is no exaggeration to say something about dire straits.

Take the former Langshan Village as an example, most of their income is actually.

A large part of it is maintained by looting villages in nearby areas.

Only a very small number of people are through robbery and escort agencies, or passers-by with a little wealth.

Ordinary bandit forces basically do not go to the village to kill, because they also have to rely on these villagers to obtain survival supplies.

But they will not maintain the stability of the village.

Licking blood from the knife, there is today and no tomorrow, making it difficult for them to think about other things.

Maintaining regional stability and absorbing villages to worship these is what the major forces will do.

So this has also led to the rampant bandits in many regions.

Because although they lived a life of licking blood from the knife, they were in danger.

But it is considered to be a good meal and drink, and life is much more nourishing than ordinary people.

This has caused a vicious cycle and is also the main reason for the endless gangsters.

And now, what Gu Chuan did is to break this cycle.

He provides security for ordinary people's villages, and the village provides him with food, information, and even personnel supplies.

Of course, all of this requires him to have strong enough strength to suppress all monsters and monsters.

Now he just made this name known.

After all, the risk of robbing a caravan is too great, and the caravan is not a fool.

It can be beaten, it cannot be robbed.

If you can't beat it, you are not stupid. If you can't beat it, you will keep running towards you.

The reason why these villagers were not dealt with before was because he was afraid that these villagers would attract the attention of the government after they returned.

Kill him, he can't do it.

They are all ordinary people, who have no grudges and grudges against him, so why should they kill them?

So he had to deal with it coldly.

But after learning that there was no official in the entire Mobei region, he had this idea.

But he did this without consequences.

The consequence is very simple, that is, it will cause hostility from other copycats.

Most of the forces in the Qilian Mountains survive by plundering these villages.

He did this to move these copycat cakes.

............

After a while.

Among the villagers, a tall man who is thin but has been malnourished due to long-term malnutrition.

Suddenly he walked out of the crowd, knelt on one knee, and looked at Gu Chuan.

"The little one is willing to join!"

The villagers behind him were surprised when they saw this.

But because Gu Chuan and the two dead soldiers behind him did not dare to speak.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Gu Chuan walked slowly.

"clear!"

"What's your name?" Gu Chuan admired the man's courage very much.

You know, his Qilian Mountain Village has no deterrent power among these villagers.

His protection was not as attractive as expected.

On the contrary, these villages may be subject to crazy looting by other parodies because of his shelter.

He protects these villages, not because the Virgin’s heart is flooded.

To be honest, he does not have that high sense of identity with these people, nor does he have such awareness.

He did this just to bring himself a long-term and stable source of income, and to supplement reliable personnel.

Compared with other counterfeit robberies that are not operated, he prefers stable tax revenue.

The man said respectfully: "The little Zhang San lives in Xiyunzhuang."

Xiyunzhuang!

Gu Chuan silently read it in his heart.
