Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 325 324: Trust should not be easily abandoned
The evil creature was directly swung up by Xi Xuan and smashed to the ground. This scene scared the remaining three evil red demons.

"I told you, stop!"

Xi Xuan glanced over, his cold eyes gradually turned red again, and a brutal and domineering aura burst out from him.

At this time, no zombie dared to disobey Xi Xuan's order and immediately stopped rushing towards Lin Beixuan.

"Sir, can you tell me where the woman holding the child is?" Xi Xuan lowered his head and said in an almost pleading tone.

Lin Beixuan nodded when he heard this: "The first time I saw her was in Pingyang County. She wandered around the city searching for her in vain, and then she left. I don't know where she went."

"Thank you!"

Xi Xuan's eyes were dazed, and he raised his hand stiffly and performed a gentlemanly gesture to Lin Beixuan.

He hadn't saluted like this to anyone for a long time, so his movements were very stiff.

When Lin Beixuan saw Xi Xuan's performance, he already understood clearly in his mind. It seemed that his guess was right. The sad and confused Xuannv was indeed related to Xi Xuan.

A ghost, a walking corpse, a sad and confused woman, six human corpses...

"Are you planning to look for your wife and children?" Lin Beixuan asked.

Xi Xuan was silent for a moment and nodded.

"There are starving ghosts everywhere in Luozhou now. Do you plan to go out and search for them by yourself, or will you and your men go to search for the dead?"

Lin Beixuan looked into Xi Xuan's eyes and suddenly smiled, "How about we make a deal?"

"Except for the four zombies around you who have some intelligence, the rest of the zombies are controlled by desire. You can let them attack people, but if you let them look for something, I don't think they will be of any help to you."

"What do you want me to do?" Xi Xuan asked.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. What I want to do is very simple, that is to get rid of the starving ghosts, take over Luozhou, and let Luozhou return to peace. For you, this is what you want to see, right?"

Lin Beixuan's words echoed in Xi Xuan's ears. His tone was calm, but it was like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing huge waves in Xi Xuan's heart.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the Zhenxi Army and saw Luo Bingzhong nodded at him.

"So what you want me to do is help you take Naju?"

Lin Beixuan nodded, then shook his head.

Xi Xuan frowned, a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"What I want is for you to submit to me!" Lin Beixuan did not intend to play it safe and said directly: "Of course, you can make your own judgment on this matter after I help you find your wife and children."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll regret it after you help me find my wife and children?"

"Haha." Lin Beixuan looked at Xi Xuan with a smile: "I'm not worried."

"It's no big deal even if you regret it. You are a good person through and through. I can tolerate someone like you doing something to deceive me."

When saying this, Lin Beixuan looked at Xi Xuan with deep eyes, as if he could see through the other's heart.

"Moreover, I believe in the trust between people. Even in such a chaotic world, this trust should not be easily abandoned."

Xi Xuan remained silent after hearing this. After a long time, he raised his head and looked into Lin Beixuan's eyes.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lin Beixuan smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Xi Xuan.

Xi Xuan also slowly stretched out his hand, and his blood-stained hand tightly shook Lin Beixuan's hand.

At this moment, the agreement between the two seemed to condense into an invisible bond in the air, connecting their destinies.

Both sides understand that the road ahead of them may not be smooth, but where they will end up is up to them.

Just at this moment, the only ray of sunlight left at the end of the world shone on Lin Beixuan and Xi Xuan, as if to support them.

Luo Bingzhong looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little happy.

He forced himself to stand up with his weak body, walked between Lin Beixuan and Xi Xuan, and put his hand on them with a big laugh.

"Add me one!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Beixuan glanced at Luo Bingzhong with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Are you sure? Did you hear clearly what the deal between Xi Xuan and I was?"

"It doesn't matter. We are all for Luozhou. If we can really take Luozhou back from the starving ghosts under your leadership, what does it matter if all the Zhenxi troops are under your command!"

Luo Bingzhong patted his chest heroically, and immediately started coughing violently.

Now his health is even worse than that of an old man over 60 years old.

"By doing this, you are betraying the court," Lin Beixuan said deliberately.

"So what if I betrayed you!" Luo Bingzhong narrowed his eyes when he heard that, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"It was the imperial court that betrayed Luozhou first. The moment it gave up Luozhou, the Zhenxi Army no longer belonged to the dynasty."

Luozhou first experienced a severe drought, and then famine, killing countless people. The people's trust in the past dynasties had disappeared with the continuous deaths of people around them.

The 50,000 Zhenxi troops fought in Luozhou for several years, and in the end only less than 3,000 were left. The pain and despair they experienced during the battle were beyond the comprehension of those officials who were well fed all day long. Every time they endured hunger and watched their comrades die around them, they would think of those who sat in high positions and watched the people of Luozhou die.

When disappointment reaches its peak, what arises is resentment born from the deepest part of one's heart.

So, what if I betrayed you?

Luo Bingzhong not only represents his ideas, but also represents the will of everyone in the Zhenxi Army.

"Now that the crisis in this valley has been resolved, there is no need to stay here any longer."

As he spoke, Lin Beixuan looked at Luo Bingzhong and said, "General Luo, why don't we go to my place together as we planned before?"

"The Zhenxi Army has suffered severe injuries. Now I'm afraid they can't even fight against the lowest-level starving ghosts. I'll have to trouble Brother Lin from now on." Luo Bingzhong clasped his fists towards Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

Then he turned his gaze to Xi Xuan and the zombies behind him.

"If you bring these zombies into the military camp, it might cause some unnecessary trouble. Is there any way to disperse them or keep them somewhere temporarily?"

Xi Xuan thought about it after hearing this. In fact, he was not familiar with controlling these zombies. It was only this time, under Lin Beixuan's stimulation, that he realized that he could actually command the zombies in the Corpse Gorge.

"I'm not sure if my method is effective, but let's try it anyway!"

Xi Xuan stood in front of the group of zombies, took a deep breath, puffed up his chest, and let out a fierce roar at all the zombies.

He integrated his will into the sound, and after hearing it, the zombies turned around and staggered towards the corpse stream.

"feasible!"

A gleam of light flashed in Xi Xuan's eyes. It turned out that commanding these zombies was actually simpler than he had imagined.

However, at this moment, four figures appeared and stood in front of Xi Xuan, bowing their heads to him in a gesture of submission.

"Master, we want to stay by your side and protect your safety!"

The speaker was a female Red Demon. She looked at Xi Xuan seriously and said, "We don't want you to die again due to some accident, otherwise your memory will disappear forever bit by bit."

"I don't need you to follow me!" Hearing a red devil calling him Lord, Xi Xuan, who had been influenced by Confucianism, subconsciously frowned and refused.

"But..." Hongsha hesitated. He wanted to say more, but was stopped by a white-haired monster beside him.

"Master, don't worry. We won't cause you any trouble." The three-meter-tall beast was extremely oppressive, and his voice was muffled.

"We have never left this valley since you were born. We have always heard from you how bad the environment in Luozhou is now. Many people have died. Our memories still retain what happened in our lifetime. If possible, we would like to go back to our former home."

As soon as these words came out, Xi Xuan's eyes softened immediately.

In his heart, the most important thing is always "home".

The words "white hair is a disaster" really touched his heart.

But before he agreed, Xi Xuan looked at Lin Beixuan.

Since the two parties had an agreement before, no matter what these zombies call him, the final decision-making power still lies with Lin Beixuan.

Since Lin Beixuan trusts him, he will not overstep his authority.

Noticing Xi Xuan's gaze, Lin Beixuan smiled and nodded: "If the team can welcome four powerful fighters, we will certainly welcome them."

But as Lin Beixuan smiled, the corners of his lips gradually retracted, his eyes became cold, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.

“But let me make it clear in advance, as the evil spirits and the red devils, I know that you have already regained your spiritual wisdom and your minds are no different from those of ordinary people.

But you still have the bloodthirsty instinct, are attracted to blood, and feel hungry.

If I find any of you killing or cannibalizing your fellow soldiers, I will personally kill you all, no matter where you flee to."

"Trust me, I can do it."

Lin Beixuan's words were powerful, his sword-like brows were pressed down, and an invisible majesty surrounded him. The tyranny in his eyes was almost materialized, penetrating the eyes of Xiong Huo and Hong Sha.

Under this gaze, the four evil spirits and red demons lowered their heads almost instantly, cold sweat oozing from their bodies, and they did not dare to look at Lin Beixuan.

"Please rest assured that we will strictly abide by your rules and will not dare to violate them in the slightest!" The white-haired evil man suppressed his inner fear and stood up to respond.

"Yeah." Lin Beixuan nodded, and as if out of instinct, he said to comfort you: "As long as you have never done evil, there will be no problem of barriers between humans and zombies here. Whether you are a human or a zombie, I will treat you equally."

"Rewards for merit and punishment for demerits are all based on actual performance."

There was unquestionable firmness in his voice, as if proving to Xi Xuan and Luo Bingzhong that he was not joking about this.

And when Xionghuo and Hongsha heard this, they felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Follow the rules, work hard and contribute, and you will get the respect and treatment you deserve.

Luo Bingzhong watched Lin Beixuan's method of beating and comforting and could not help but nod secretly.

He discovered that Lin Beixuan seemed to be born with a strange quality that could quickly win people's hearts and make people involuntarily move closer to him.
