There's a saying, 'Killing with a thousand cuts.'
Lu HaiKong is doing just that, and although it's his first time, he seems to have a natural talent for it. With casual ease, he has driven this Xianbei noble to the point of despair, seeking death.
But what if he begs for death? Can Lu HaiKong really grant it? Wouldn't it be more painful to keep him alive in this situation?
Despite Lu HaiKong's seemingly arrogant and domineering behavior, he is actually very cautious. He knows that this person must not die, as it would change the entire situation. If the onlooking crowd's emotions were to ignite, even Hu YinWen's personal intervention might not be enough to calm them down.
Once public outrage boils over, the consequences could be troublesome, forcing Hu YinWen to take a stance against Lu HaiKong.
So, as this Xianbei noble attempts suicide, Lu HaiKong stops him and takes the curved saber from his hand.
"You're a Xianbei warrior, and if you can't beat me, you can't beat me. If you apologize, I might let you live, but instead, you cry? You're a disgrace to the Xianbei men. Don't tell me they're all as cowardly as you." Lu HaiKong squatted down and slapped the unlucky man's face with his own saber, mocking him.
After that, Lu HaiKong looked up at the onlookers, now agitated, with a disdainful smile on his face. The handsome young man appeared particularly arrogant and domineering.
Lu HaiKong had thought this matter wouldn't be so easily resolved. He had expected to have to teach a few more Xianbei men a lesson before Hu YinWen arrived to handle the situation, but Hu YinWen's actions were much quicker than he had anticipated.
Among the onlookers, some were clearly eyeing Lu HaiKong's possessions with greed, but before they could make a move, Hu YinWen stepped in and stopped the conflict.
Lu HaiKong had expected Hu YinWen's intervention, but not his attitude. He had thought Hu YinWen would slightly favor the Xianbei side to win over the people's hearts, but instead, Hu YinWen took a firm stand on Lu HaiKong's side from the start.
Regarding the punishment of the unfortunate Xianbei noble, Hu YinWen also showed a side that didn't match his appearance—a harsh and cruel one. He deprived the man of his status, broke his limbs, and left him to fend for himself. Furthermore, he handed over the five hundred Han people, who had been a nuisance to Lu HaiKong, as a gift.
Hu YinWen's actions were somewhat baffling, even defying common sense, as he didn't follow the usual tactics. Nonetheless, with Hu YinWen taking such a low stance, Lu HaiKong decided to play along.
The incident was over, but Lu HaiKong's life in the Hu Yin Tribe became even more difficult. Despite Hu YinWen's protection, the tribe members couldn't harm Lu HaiKong, but they never treated him kindly.
Hu YinWen seemed to accelerate his efforts to consolidate the tribe, and during this time, he rarely met with Lu HaiKong. In their few encounters, Lu HaiKong sensed that Hu YinWen didn't welcome them and regarded Lu HaiKong as a harbinger of misfortune.
Lu HaiKong wasn't concerned about the delay, as long as Hu Yin Wen was busy with his tasks. He decided to wait a few days for him.
During this time, Lu HaiKong had no desire to wander outside. He spent his days training the Savage Wolf Body Training Fist under Dian Wei's guidance outside the tent. In his free time, he would chat with the five hundred Han people, learning about the things that interested him on the grasslands from their perspectives.
Interestingly, among these five hundred people, aside from those captured this year, almost everyone who had lived there for a few years possessed the skill of 'Pastoralism'. However, their skill levels were generally low, mostly at the beginner stage. Surprisingly, the old man who had been severely beaten by the Xianbei noble had an intermediate level in Pastoralism.
Lu HaiKong took a closer look and realized that even at the intermediate level, the skill's effects were impressive.
The skill could increase the reproduction rate of animals in the pasture by fifty percent and ensure a ninety percent survival rate for the livestock. Although Lu HaiKong wasn't an expert in animal husbandry, the data alone suggested an exceptional ability.
Without hesitation, Lu HaiKong gave the old man the 'Advanced Pastoral Husbandry Guide' to try. Perhaps due to Lu HaiKong's learning aura, the old man successfully advanced his Pastoralism skill to the advanced level. Lu HaiKong then fully understood the value of this treasure he had found.
Advanced Pastoralism
Skill Category: Life
Skill Effect: Ensures a 100% increase in animal reproduction rate and a 95% survival rate for animals in the pasture.
Version: 1691, error-free!
Pastoralism Radiance: Attracts wild animals to the pasture with a certain probability every month.
Lu HaiKong wasn't sure how effective this skill would be in practice, but he was certain it was powerful. With this old man's expertise, Lu HaiKong felt confident about developing the livestock industry.
However, the old man had lived among the Xianbei for over a decade, enduring harsh labor and meager meals. His body had become frail, and his health was a cause for concern, especially after the recent beating. Lu HaiKong was anxious, not wanting to lose this skilled individual before he could contribute.
Unfortunately, Lu HaiKong didn't have a physician to tend to the old man's health. As a temporary solution, he allowed the old man to stay with him, ensuring proper meals and warmth.
The old man, having lived among the Xianbei for so long, had forgotten his Han name. With his permission, Lu HaiKong named him Wang Shou, hoping for a long and healthy life.
Aside from this old man, there were other skilled individuals among the five hundred. Many possessed unique skills, but they had no opportunity to utilize them in the Xianbei tribe. Lu HaiKong carefully noted their abilities, intending to give them a chance to shine in the future.
Lu HaiKong stayed in the Hu Yin tribe for five more days, waiting for Hu Yin to finish his work. Finally, on the sixth day, Hu Yin approached Lu HaiKong after stabilizing the tribe's situation...
