I'm the one running the game

The day after Lu Xingshi met the Black Mountain Bandits, he met the Sanjiang Bandits' recruitment and refused directly according to the old rules.

After wandering around for another five days, he met the Qingyun Bandits.

But not all the Qingyun Bandits, but one of the leaders.

It must be said that compared with the Black Mountain Bandits and the Sanjiang Bandits, the Qingyun Bandits are far better than these two gangs of bandits in terms of equipment and treatment.

Not only do they have a horse, but they are all wearing leather armor, and are equipped with bows, arrows, spears and other weapons.

It feels more like they are transferred from the regular army to Lu Xingshi, which makes Lu Xingshi more certain that the Qingyun Bandits must have some kind of inseparable relationship with the court.

"It is rumored in the green forest that Lu Taibao has rejected the heroes of Black Mountain and Sanjiang in succession. I wonder if my small temple of Qingyun can accommodate Lu Taibao, the mountain tiger?" The man on horseback, who was the leader, bowed and said.

The other party is called Feitian Biao Ximen Ting in the green forest. He is good at using sabers and is a well-known man in the green forest.

Lu Xingshi translated it and roughly meant that he was ruthless and ruthless, and he was fast and fierce when robbing, and his business ability was very strong.

"What are the benefits?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"Of course, it's eating meat, drinking wine, and dividing gold and silver in large pieces."

"We Qingyun Pirates do things like robbing the rich to help the poor and acting on behalf of heaven." Ximen Ting said.

This kind of words has been said for a long time, and even Ximen Ting himself almost believes it to be true.

It mainly depends on the situation. For example, the three major behaviors in the first sentence, those leaders and leaders did enjoy this treatment, but the people under them did not.

As for robbing the rich to help the poor and acting on behalf of heaven, this is just a slogan. In fact, burning, killing, looting and plundering are evil.

"The Black Mountain Bandits and the Sanjiang Bandits also say the same thing, and they are much more powerful than the Qingyun Bandits."

"I think your way of recruiting is really not very innovative. You have to tell me the advantages and strengths of the Qingyun Bandits that are far superior to the Black Mountain Bandits and the Sanjiang Bandits, so that I can think about whether the Qingyun Bandits are suitable for me and worth joining." Lu Xingshi complained. The Black Mountain Bandits at least gave him a position as the fifth leader.

In the end, the Qingyun Bandits wanted him to join without giving him anything.

When Ximen Ting heard what Lu Xingshi said, he was stunned at first, and then he was thinking in his mind, what can his Qingyun Bandits have to compare with the other two gangs of bandits.

Although these three gangs of bandits are famous all over the world, there are differences after all. The Black Mountain Bandits are mountain bandits, and the Sanjiang Bandits are water bandits.

"We... can be recruited." After thinking for a while, Ximen Ting said his advantages.

Compared with the other two gangs of bandits, the Qingyun Bandits are indeed not as well treated, especially in terms of work, they have to run outside frequently, eat and drink in the wild, and their life is extremely difficult.

Let alone other things, the Black Mountain Bandits and the Sanjiang Bandits have enough food and clothing.

"They can also be recruited, unless..." Lu Xingshi looked up and down at Ximen Ting: "The Qingyun Bandits have a connection with the court."

"But if that's the case, I dare not join. After all, I just killed the Taiwei, and I might be used as a token of surrender." Lu Xingshi said jokingly.

He was testing the other party to see if he could get something out of the other party.

"Don't guess, Taibao Lu, we do have a connection with the court."

"The previous Qingyun Bandits came from the northern border and were a lieutenant under the general. It's a pity that the treacherous ministers in the court are in power, forcing us to become fugitives." Ximen Ting said with a wry smile.

"If we dare to occupy the mountain and become the king like Heishan and Sanjiang, the imperial army will come to wipe us out in an instant."

"My master heard that Lu Taibao is a rare man in the world, and his ability to tame beasts is very good. He wants to ask Taibao to be the horseman for Qingyun Thief." Ximen Ting spoke directly.

Lu Xingshi did not expect the other party to speak directly, and thought he would beat around the bush.

"Well, it's not impossible." Lu Xingshi saw that the other party had fallen into the trap, and then asked: "Tell us in detail about our recruitment."

The other party can use the recruitment as an advantage, there must be a secret.

"My master has received advice from the Minister of Military Affairs and has been transferred from a bandit to a soldier. It just takes some time to operate."

"When the edict of amnesty comes, we can be whitewashed openly and even have an independent army."

"By then, even if Lu Taibao kills the current Taiwei, with my master protecting him, he can be an official safely." Ximen Ting said immediately.

It can only be said that they, the Qingyun Bandits, have really shown their power and even received amnesty from the court.

"Killing and arson and being amnesty is indeed a way to become an official." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

This should have happened in the past few days. The original attitude towards bandits was that the court would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, but the work of suppressing bandits was not going well.

Lu Xingshi also guessed the reason. It must be the current official because of the death of Jinyun Tianshi and the fact that there was a trace of demonic nature left in the world by the demon star, which led to the change.

Since the bandits in various places are really disgusting, we will directly recruit these three most famous bandits as a benchmark to quell the bandit problem as soon as possible.

Qingyun Bandits are deserters and will most likely not be executed, but will only be used as a knife to deal with the bandits.

It is hard to say what the fate of Sanjiang Bandits and Heishan Bandits will be.

If they are not politically sensitive, they will probably be plotted to death without knowing it.

If they have a strong political sense, then... they will not be recruited. They know that they will die, so why do they still serve the court as dogs?

Wouldn't that make him a cheap bastard?

"What Lu Taibao said does make sense. I wonder if Lu Taibao is willing to join our Qingyun Bandits and fight for a bright future?" Ximen Ting asked.

"Who can refuse this convenience?"

"If I can be a bright future, why not follow Qingyun Bandits?" Lu Xingshi chose to agree this time.

His original goal was to join Qingyun Bandits, so how could he refuse?

A gleam of light flashed in Ximen Ting's eyes, and he was thinking about how to get Lu Xingshi to give his loyalty.

It was indeed them who came to recruit Lu Xingshi, but if he wanted to join, he couldn't just become their colleague without any words. He must give enough loyalty to get Lu Xingshi to join.

If you want to join the Black Mountain Bandits and the Sanjiang Bandits, you also need a loyalty, but this loyalty is perfunctory. You can catch a hostage or bring a caravan, or even pay some gold and silver.

Qingyun Bandits is similar, but the threshold is higher.

For example, some professional talents do not need money, but need to be able to keep the other party's handle. The simplest way is to let the other party kill or destroy the family, so that the other party will have no way to withdraw.

Lu Xingshi certainly can't use this kind of means. Just from the fact that he killed the current Taiwei, we know that he has no way out at all, not to mention the handle, everyone in the world knows it.

But the name of surrender cannot be given, otherwise it will break the rules of the green forest.

It is true that Qingyun Bandits were originally border troops, but now they have become bandits and live in the green forest, so they must abide by the rules of the green forest.

As for whether they are about to be recruited and not prepared to join the green forest? This has not been written yet. I just got the news. It is still unknown when they can be recruited.

"Since you are willing to join, I wonder what name of surrender Lu Taibao should give?" Ximen Ting couldn't think of what name of surrender to ask Lu Xingshi, so he threw the question to him.

When Lu Xingshi heard it, he took out a hundred taels of silver from his arms.

"Is a hundred taels of fine silver enough?" Lu Xingshi asked.

This was the money that Xu Taigong had given him before. He didn't spend it on the way. He didn't eat or drink, so he didn't have much to spend.

When he heard that there was a hundred taels, Ximen Ting's eyes lit up. This letter of surrender was indeed enough.

It was just a step, and he didn't really care what he was given.

"Okay, okay, Lu Taibao is thoughtful." After Ximen Ting praised, he looked at the giant bear Wangcai who was following Lu Xingshi: "Lu Taibao, what do you plan to do with this bear?"

"The little monkey is not in the way, but it can follow. This bear is too big, and it's inconvenient to go anywhere."

Ximen Ting meant to let Lu Xingshi give up Wangcai.

Lu Xingshi smiled: "Then how do I get on the road? Riding a horse?"

"That won't work. I have a disease. I vomit when I ride a horse, but I'm fine riding a bear."

Hearing this, Ximen Ting was also embarrassed. Riding a bear is not impossible. The speed of a bear is not slower than that of a horse, but in terms of convenience, this bear is not as good as a horse. If he follows them on the road, he will definitely fall behind.

Moreover, this bear is dangerous. What if it goes berserk? Or if it gets extremely hungry and eats the horse, that would be even worse.

Also, the bear has a huge appetite, and it is simply not something that the wandering Qingyun Bandits can afford to feed.

Therefore, he explained the pros and cons to Lu Xingshi and asked him to give up on his own.

"Then we cannot work together. Goodbye." Lu Xingshi retreated to advance and prepared to run away directly.

"Mr. Lu, please stay." Ximen Ting immediately stopped Lu Xingshi who was about to leave: "We can discuss it, we can discuss it."

It's just a bear. If Lu Xingshi can train horses in the way of taming animals, then their Qingyun Bandits can go to the next level.

If it really doesn't work, they can arrange Lu Xingshi to their secret station and let him raise horses with peace of mind. It doesn't matter if this bear eats.

It might be a little more conspicuous on the way back.

Besides, it's not that there is no way to deal with it. When we go back, we can just deal with the bear directly.

After entering their lair, without the bear as a helper, there was only a little monkey. At that time, Lu Xingshi had no power to resist and could only be used by them honestly.

It was no problem to torture them to find out the method of taming animals.

Just bow your head now, and you can get it back later.

After bargaining with Lu Xingshi, Ximen Ting finally agreed to Lu Xingshi's ideas and conditions, not voluntarily, but forced to agree.

"Qingyun Bandits are so generous, so where are we going next?" Lu Xingshi couldn't wait to catch Qingyun Bandits in one fell swoop.
