"George?" Howard looked at George who was walking over in surprise, wondering why he was with the bandits, and seemed to be playing against him.

George smiled slightly and said, "Howard, put down his weapons."

Howard was even more surprised and said, "You have been betrayed?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw George nodding. The meaning was obviously that he guessed it right. "George, you die, what are the benefits of following them?" Howard really couldn't figure out what George was irritating. As a magician, he could be said to have a bright future, not to mention that there is anything worth George's rebellion. Even if he rebelled, he had to find a good backer.

George was too lazy to say anything, so he raised the magic wand in his hand and said, "Howard, if you don't surrender, I'll take action."

"No." Howard was so scared that he took a few steps back, "Listen to me..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a "thump". His feet slipped and his body fell to the ground. Howard lay on the ground and rolled his eyes and thought, "I would have known this would have happened if I had known it would be like this. To be honest, Howard was not afraid of anyone, just George. There was no way. Although George was just a junior magician, this guy didn't know what he was holding in his head. It was all strange things. He had suffered a lot in the hands of this little guy before.

If you want Howard's ability, there is no need to be afraid of George. The Rock Man can be said to be a natural warrior. They are extremely powerful and run fast. In addition, the thick skin like steel on their body has good magic resistance, which is like a solid castle. Not to mention that the primary magician is low in mana, attacking Howard is almost like tickling him. Even an intermediate magician or a high-level magician, Howard is not without the ability to fight.

However, in Howard's eyes, George is an exception. Although George is just a junior magician, his unruly magic tricks have a great headache for Howard. Just like now, Howard is lying helplessly on the ground and rolling his eyes. Why can't he avoid this trick? It's so unlucky.

Yes, George is indeed Howard's nemesis. Take the primary magic "Ice Technique" he used just now. If other magicians use it, it will be of no use to Howard. The "Ice Technique" spell can be used by any elementary magician, even magic apprentices can use it. Ordinary magicians use "Ice Technique" to make the surrounding air cooler, or freeze the ground, freeze the enemy's feet and make it unable to move. However, the "Ice Technique" used by George is a different approach. He can freeze the ground, but not to freeze the enemy's feet, but to make the ground form a smooth mirror, so that the enemy cannot stand. Howard is tall and big, and he will fall if he is accidentally standing on the ice. Howard cannot stand even if he has exquisite skills and strength.

George walked up to Howard with a smile, knocked him hard on the head, and said, "Are you convinced, just get up when you accept it. Didn't you just follow me if I do anything? Now I want to be a bandit, so you will naturally be a bandit, right?" After saying that, he raised his hand to his mouth and blew it, and he forgot that Howard's head could not be knocked. He was fine, but his hand hurt so much.

Howard smiled foolishly and touched his head and stood up. He believed George, and George must have his reasons for doing this, because George was his best friend. But Howard was also depressed. With his ability, he thought that coming to Black Tiger Mountain to suppress bandits was like playing, but unexpectedly he was defeated and lost all his face. Howard thought angrily, if he hadn't clear mind, had he been exhausted and George was his friend, who would have the winner or the outcome.

No wonder Howard thought so. He lost too unfairly, but it was because he had no strength to kill Liu Fengyun and the other two, so he escaped. Otherwise, no matter how capable he was, even if George was pleading for him, he would not be able to escape death.

It turned out that after Howard fainted from the sleepy insect, he was awakened by a cold cold air, and the past scene appeared. This was also a coincidence. Howard could not untie the sleepy insect's poison by himself, but he was naturally sensitive to the cold cold air, so he woke up. The reason why he was so sensitive was that he could talk about a flaw of the Rock Man. Speaking of which, the Rock Man is not afraid of heaven or earth, it is very good that there is something in this world that can hurt them. But they are only afraid of one thing,

It is a bryophyte. Although the skin of the rock people is extremely hard and invulnerable, it cannot withstand the erosion of the bryophytes. Once this type of plant is on its body, it will be difficult for the rock people to take them, which will make them uncomfortable all over. What's even more terrifying is that their skin has weak resistance to these small things, and their skin is also the best nutritional place for these small things. As long as the bryophytes take root on them, they will soon weave their whole body and erode their skin.

Once their skin is eroded by these little things, it is the time for them to die. The Rock Man wants to solve the green hairs that grow on them, and only one way is to go to the desert and expose it for a few months to evaporate the moisture on the skin, so that the moss plants will die of thirst if they lose water. However, this method is a life-and-death thing for Rock Man. Although Rock Man has lived in desert areas since childhood and has strong adaptability to the desert environment, they have to do so.

If they eat or drink, they stay in the desert for a few months, even the strongest rock people can't stand it. The reason why they don't eat or drink is because they are afraid that they will accidentally drop food or water on their bodies, and then all their efforts will be wasted. The above all have developed the fear of rock people for moss, which is deeply rooted in their bones. The smell of cold marrow and yin fire emitted by the cold jade bottle of Ai Ming is very familiar with the smell of mossy plants. Howard then resisted the sleepy insect's poison and woke up.

"Okay." George clapped his hands and walked towards Xiao Yun and others, following Howard behind him. Everyone was stunned. They didn't understand what was going on. It was too simple, right? This big man surrendered after falling down. If he had known that it was so simple, why would he beat him?

"Let me introduce it, this is my good friend Howard." George tried hard to raise his arm and patted Howard's shoulder, looking very proud of having such a friend. Howard also cooperated and smiled. He didn't like to talk in front of strangers.

Xiao Yun and others suddenly realized that it was friends, which was easy to explain. "Hello." Xiao Yun nodded awkwardly and said to Howard. Although Xiao Yun and others had been drifting on the mainland for a long time and knew a lot about the world, it was still difficult to suddenly have a good face to the person who hurt his brother just now. However, since this person is George's brother, he must give George some face. Anyway, Liu Fengyun is no longer a big deal now, and Howard is also a talented person and can make friends with the best.

Howard nodded, as if he had a reply. He also had a good impression of the person in front of him with a pretty face and a gentle expression. He knew at a glance that he was of the same type as his brother George.

"Okay, everyone go in and talk." Xiao Yun said, walking into the camp first, and at the same time, he ordered the mouse to pack up the corpses of the dead slaves and transport them back to the mountains for burial.

"Master, that person killed so many of us, let's forget it?" Xia Zhu pulled Ai Ming, who was walking behind, and asked in a low voice. Xia Zhu really couldn't understand why this happened.

Ai Ming was stunned and had to whisper to Xia Zhu: "Don't talk too much, I'll explain it to you later." After that, he took Xia Zhu's hand into the camp. In fact, this is really hard to explain, and Ai Ming couldn't explain it. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that fish and bear's paws cannot have both, which can well reflect people's desire to maximize their interests. But how should Ai Ming explain to the naive Xia Zhu? Could he say that because a Howard's ability is more powerful than a hundred slaves? Although those slaves are their own people, in order to keep Howard, they will sacrifice one hundred slaves even if they sacrifice one hundred slaves? Ai Ming was born in a low position.

In the class, there are many such things. I remember that a few years ago, the Republic of China once wanted a man named Guangwenguang. This man once invaded the traffic management system and paralyzed the system, causing the traffic in a certain city to fall into chaos for three hours, causing tens of millions of losses. Not only that, it also indirectly killed eleven people and injured hundreds of people. Such a crime is not an exaggeration to sentence life imprisonment, but unexpectedly, not long after, this man actually changed his name, appeared in front of the public, and became the person in charge of a national project. The trick is self-evident.

After everyone entered the camp, the guest and host sat down, their eyes were all focused on Thomson who was motionless on the ground.

"What should I do with this person?" Xiao Yun turned to Ai Ming and asked. The person was caught by Ai Ming, so naturally Ai Ming should be responsible for handling it.

Ai Ming rolled his eyes. He didn't know what to do. He always had to kill and bury. "It depends on Brother Xiao." Ai Ming kicked the ball back, leaned his back on the chair, closed his eyes and rested.

Xiao Yun was in trouble. Do you really want to kill Thomson? This is not a good idea. It means that the Black Tiger Village will completely break with the Yasi Empire and there is no room for maneuver. But can such a few people in the Black Tiger Village fight against the Yasi Empire's army to the end? The future is bleak. If Thomson is not killed? What if the result is the same. At most, there is some chips in hand and the possibility of negotiating with Tielu Fort. What's more, whether this chip is useful or not.

"Brother Xiao, don't kill Thomson, he is a good person." George interrupted at this time. There were not many people in the Iron Fortress who could make George have a good impression of him, and Thomson was one of them. Of course he had to save him.

"Oh?" Xiao Yun turned his head and looked at George with interest. Now, someone took over and he could relax. "Then tell me, can you give me a reason not to kill him?"

George was speechless, yes, can he not kill him by thinking that Thomson is a good person? This reason seems to be insufficient? George buried his head and finally raised his head when everyone was impatient to wait, and said excitedly: "I have a way to prevent Tielu Fort from attacking Heihu Mountain. Is this a reason?"

Everyone immediately cheered up and focused their eyes on George, wanting to see what amazing language this little guy had. George smiled mysteriously, moved his seat forward a few steps, waved his hand, and asked everyone to concentrate too. Then he lowered his voice and muttered, occasionally laughing a few times in the middle, as if excited, everyone was not willing to fall behind, and laughed a few times to express his consent. Finally, George straightened up proudly, looked around everyone, and said, "I paid the opinion, so I will pay the money, everyone has no objection." Although this money is not a small amount in the eyes of ordinary people, George silently calculated the New Year's money he had obtained over the years, and finally got confident in his heart.

"Can this work?" Xiao Yun asked worriedly. He had heard of the popularity of the lord of Tielu Castle, but he was still nervous. Although this plan is likely to be successful, the risks are also very high. Don't let the child go without trapping the wolf, but the wolf bites it.

Everyone stopped talking, they were thinking about the feasibility of the plan. Ai Ming was also frowning and thinking. After a long time, he stretched his brows, opened his eyes, and said, "I agree with George's plan, but there will be some small changes in this plan. Let's do it, I will pay for the money bribing the city lord, and at the same time..." Ai Ming said his planned plan. He was confident that everyone would agree with his plan. This plan would be beneficial to everyone without any harm.

After hearing Ai Ming's plan, everyone looked at Ai Ming with a look at the monster. This plan was too huge, completely beyond everyone's imagination. Does Ai Ming really have so much money to implement? Who is he? Isn't it just a lip service?

Ai Ming enjoyed everyone's gaze very much. To him, these gazes were a kind of affirmation. Haha, if you want to play, you have to play big things. What's the point of making small fuss? Recently, Ai Ming fell in love with gambling games and often played with Lan Ruo and the four sisters, and learned a lot of truths.

"Since that's the case, I agree with Brother Wen." Xiao Yun spoke happily. In his eyes, today is his lucky day, and the day to make a fortune is finally coming. Do you know that I have been waiting for more than 40 years?

Everyone nodded in agreement. For them, Aiming's plan is good for them, so why not do it? Thomson, who was fixed on his body, could only listen but not move, was a little unhappy, but he had no say. In Thomson's opinion, these people deserved death and came up with such a vicious plan. However, Thomson had to admit that this plan was very likely to be successful.

"Okay, everyone, clean up, Brother Wen, can you wake those people outside the door?" Xiao Yun said, secretly frightened, guessing how Ai Ming made more than 700 soldiers sleep until now. But now the matter is over, and the soldiers outside the door have also been confiscated and tied up in a group, without any threat. Naturally, it is time for them to wake up. It is not easy to move so many people back to the village.

Ai Ming nodded and told him how to solve the sleepy pill. It was very simple, just pour cold water on it.

After everything was cleaned up, everyone walked up the mountain. The results this time were really good. Not only did they capture more than 700 soldiers, but they also confiscated a large amount of military supplies. The most important thing is that recently, there are no longer any more food for food. Among the seized supplies, there are enough more than a thousand people to eat for two or three days. I believe that in two or three days, Heihu Mountain will have a steady stream of food.

What made Xiao Yun even more happy was that among the captured soldiers this time, there were more than 200 slave soldiers. Slave soldiers, as the name suggests, were slave soldiers. Although these slave soldiers were just insignificant and heavily-staffed soldiers, their quality was not a little stronger than their own bandits. I believe that after these slave soldiers joined their own army after being advised, they could have a higher level of quality in their own army.

After returning to the village, Ai Ming used a sleepy bug to imprison the captured soldiers and left the staff on duty to guard them. After everyone hurriedly had a full meal, washed up and went to bed. Today, everyone was tired enough, and it was time to have a good rest.

Early the next morning, George set out with Ai Ming and Chen Zhu, whose destination was Tielu Castle. As for the others, they stayed in the village and cleaned up the mess.

"Here, this is Tielu Castle." George wiped the sweat from his head and said to Ai Ming and Chen Zhu.

Ai Ming looked up and looked disappointed. This Tielu Fort is just a small city and has no military value, so its city is ruined, and the only thing used to build the city walls is just ordinary bricks and stones. In Ai Ming, who is used to seeing big cities, of course he disdained it.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs. Ai Ming took the two of them to a silver account, and took some money from the bank to exchange it for coins from the Yasi Empire, and took out a few colors of jewelry from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Chen Zhu. After the three of them said a few hurriedly, Chen Zhu and George bid farewell to Ai Ming and walked to the lord's mansion in Tielu Castle. Ai Ming casually found a coffee shop and walked in, ordered a cup of coffee and some snacks to eat. He was impatient to see the ugly face of the lord of Tielu Castle, so he would sit here and wait for news. With Chen Zhu's shrewdness and verbalism, I believe that he would convince the greedy lord.

Wait, wait, Ai Ming waited until sunset, and before Chen Zhu and George came back. Just when he was suspicious, the two of them came out of the city lord's mansion and came to the coffee shop where Ai Ming was. They sat down and stopped moving. The two of them were flushed and smelled of alcohol. They could tell at a glance that they were drunk.

"How is the matter done?" Ai Ming asked anxiously, and asked the shop assistant to deliver two sober soups.

Chen Zhu looked at Ai Ming for a while and laughed. Then he picked up the sober soup and drank it in one breath. Then he took out a piece of rolled paper from his arms and still stood on the table. Then he fell head-on and fell asleep. As for George, he had already buried his head in the sober soup and fell asleep with bubbles.

What is this? Ai Ming took the roll of paper in confusion and opened it and found that it was a document. It clearly stated on it: "In view of the frequent slavery in recent times, I appointed the Third City Defense Battalion of Tielu Fort to station Heihu Mountain as a warning." Below this document, there is a seal signed by the lord of Tielu Fort.

Ai Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this official document looked inconspicuous and was just an order to dispatch, its meaning was very mysterious. This means that the city lord had accepted the bribe and stood on his own side, which is crucial for future development.

Ai Ming looked helplessly at Chen Zhu and George lying on the table. The two of them were obviously treated very well in the City Lord's Mansion, which could only be seen from the cherry-like red lips on Chen Zhu's face. Helpless Ai Ming had to wave his hand to let the coffee shop come over, discuss the price, help the two drunks up, and walk towards the hotel that is the most in-depth here.

After settling down Chen Zhu and the others, Ai Ming thought about it and left the hotel door. I believe that these two drunks would not wake up for a while, and I was too lazy to stay here and was wasted with them. I believe that no one would be interested in the two drunks. It was safe to stay in the hotel. I would rather announce the good news early on, Heihu Mountain.

Ai Ming left the city gate, peeked into a deserted place, set up a flying sword, and flew towards Heihu Mountain.

The news brought back by Ai Ming was very timely, and the people who stayed in Heihu Mountain were already anxious. After reading the paper document, everyone cheered. This was great, and the hard days were finally over.
