Chapter 15: Ransom Demand

July 14, 15910 A.D. Unlike other historians, I believe that this genius was the beginning of the entire Tianwu Great Change. From this day on, an ordinary teenager really embarked on a path that he had never thought of before. Now, hundreds of years later, we take a closer look at what happened back then. Everyone knows that this day is a day that needs to be remembered throughout the history of Tianwu.

-- Excerpt from the book "Genesis Yuan" by the great historian Nailoluo

This sleep was extremely comfortable, even heavier than the one he slept in the Baron's Mansion.

He wasn't even on guard.

Anyway, they have already been captured, and since they didn't kill themselves at that time, there will definitely be nothing wrong now.

Besides, when the nobles were captured on the mainland, they were basically not killed. will demand ransom from his territory. In this way, the maximum benefit will be earned.

Yun Qing knows that he is very safe now, and the people who are gentle in the moon will definitely protect themselves properly.

So, he began to fall asleep with great nervousness and relaxation.

However, it is also very abnormal for the cloud to wake up.

Yes. He was woken up by a bucket of water.

Wanrong put down the bucket in her hand and said coldly: "Get up, the Duke wants to see you." ”

Yun Qing wiped the water on her face, and looked at the beautiful girl in front of her who had her hair tied into a ponytail, changed into a blue long dress, a long sword hanging from her waist, and cold eyes: "It's okay to see your duke, but do you think you should find me a dress to change into?" The past of such a ** seems to be very ...... to your duke Forehead...... That one...... Faux pas? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Yun Qing came up with a more official word.

"Hmph. Come with me to change clothes. Wanrong seemed to think about it, and it was the same thing, even if he said.

took Yun Qing to a remote room, and Wanrong directly threw out a suit of clothes to him: "Change it." With that, he walked out the door.

Yun Qing changed his clothes neatly and followed Wanrong all the way to a study.

I saw that Yue Qingrou's whole person was buried in the pile of papers, and she signed and wrote quickly.

"Lord Duke, I brought him here." Wanrong waited for Yue Qingrou to put down the pen and stretched her waist before speaking.

Yun Qing looked at Yue Qingrou in civilian clothes, and her eyes couldn't help but shine.

When the female archduke took off her uniform, she actually had a different style.

The long eyelashes are curled just right, the eyes are as deep as a lake, and the loose hair is soft on the shoulders, as if because of the early riser, the face still has a lazy tiredness.

This qiē is like a perfect picture, and people can't help but forget it.

Yue Qingrou raised her head and looked at the two of them standing at the door.

When she looked at Yun Qing, she smiled: "Wanrong, are you a ghost again?" How did you get him to wear the clothes of the upper and lower people? ”

"Hmph." Wanrong turned her head angrily, obviously she was retaliating against Yunqing for shooting her off the horse.

"Nothing, nothing. The clothes are very comfortable to wear. Yunqing didn't care, for him, the clothes were just comfortable.

Yue Qingrou looked at him in surprise, and then beckoned Wanrong: "Wanrong, take two chairs, sit and talk." ”

Bang!

Wanrong threw the chair in front of Yun Qing and sat aside with a pout.

Seeing Yunqing sit down, Yue Qingrou smiled: "I really didn't expect that the nobles of the empire would have archery masters like you." I wonder if you're interested in coming to me? You don't have to worry, the Empire can give you the title of Viscount, so can I, even the Earl. ”

Is this beauty trying to attract me? That's not bad to say. It's just that I promised the dead Yunqing to take care of his territory. What a man says, it has to count.

Yun Qing shrugged: "To be honest, I'm very excited. After all, it's really nice to see a beauty like you every day. It's just that I promised others to take care of the people in the territory. A man must always count when he speaks. ”

"Yunqing, you are rude!" Wanrong stood up with an angry face, drew her sword and pointed it at Yun Qing's throat: "You actually dare to blaspheme the Duke." ”

"Is there one? I'm complimenting her on how good she looks. Yun Qing relied on Yue Qingrou's idea of not killing him, and smiled.

Yueqing looked at him with interest: "Wanrong, put down the sword." It's okay. To be honest, I've never heard anyone compliment me on my good looks? Am I really good-looking? ”

She is one of the four dukes, and she is the high-ranking existence of the Night Moon Kingdom. Who would dare to say this to her? And the people who are qualified to tell her this in the Night Moon Kingdom are the other three female archdukes.

The four women were busy in their own territory on fair days, and they couldn't see each other a few times a year. Even if you meet, you won't talk about that.

"Of course. Has no one ever said that? Yun Qing was a little surprised, how could such a beauty be said that he was good-looking?

"Ahem, ahem...... Lord Duke. You must have something to do with him, right? Wanrong saw that the more the two chatted, the more off-topic they went, and coughed twice to remind.

"Oh. That's right. According to the rules, if you want to get your freedom back, you need to pay a sufficient ransom. Yue Qingrou said back to the topic she wanted to talk about: "Originally, I thought that if you became my subordinate, then naturally you would not have to pay the ransom. But now that you have refused, then you need to pay the ransom. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll sell you to the steppe as a slave." You write a letter, and I will send someone to your territory. ”

"Okay? How much do I have to pay? Yun Qing was not surprised, originally this was the rule of the mainland.

"I sent someone to check. You are the Viscount of the Imperial Prince's Shield, and your status is not ordinary. And the territory is comparable to that of a duke. So your ransom should also correspond to your identity. I think about 500,000 gold coins will be enough. A smile appeared in Yue Qingrou's eyes.

"How much? Fifty...... Ten thousand? Gold? Yun Qing almost jumped.

It was such a surprise to him. You know, he'd seen a record of a year's income from his original domain. It's only a few dozen gold coins.

Although the scope of the territory is now larger, this number is too unexpected for him.

One silver coin is enough for a family of five to live comfortably for three months, and many families only earn a few silver coins a year.

Originally, he felt that his territory was very rich for a few dozen gold coins a year.

But he didn't expect that this time Yue Qingrou opened his mouth to be 500,000 gold coins, which was a number he had never thought of.

"No, I can't. Too much. Yun Qing shook his head again and again: "I'm afraid my territory can't afford to pay so many gold coins." ”

"That's not going to work. Your status is honorable. Even if you can't afford it, I think your prince will pay for you. What's more, 500,000 gold coins should not be so difficult for you who have the scope of the dukedom. That's just five years of revenue for my territory. Yue Qingrou flatly refused, and there was no room for negotiation in her tone.

"But ......"

"No, but. Otherwise, I can only sell you to the Steppe Wolf Court as a slave. Yue Qingrou hummed.

The only one on the mainland that still retains the slavery system is the Steppe Wolf Court.

"Okay." was threatened by Yue Qingrou, Yun Qing had no choice but to agree, after all, no one would want to be sold as a slave.

He had heard how miserable the slaves of the Steppe Wolf Court were.

"Good. Then I will send a letter to your land. After reading the letter written by Yun Qing, Yue Qingrou put it away with great satisfaction: "Wanrong, since Yun Qing has written a letter, then allow him to move within the palace." But he was not allowed to leave Miyagi. If he dares, he will be killed. You will accompany him for a while to familiarize him with the places where he is allowed to move. By the way, this little guy will give it back to you. ”

Yue Qingrou reached out and handed a cage to Yun Qing, and it was the purple bird, the lightning falcon, that was locked inside.

Yun Qing reached out and took the cage, opened it and released it.

The little guy rushed to Yun Qing's shoulder with a swish, jumping and screaming excitedly.

"It doesn't eat with me. You feed it well. The lightning falcon is also a high-ranking existence among spirit beasts, and if it is raised, it is said that it can reach the level of a grandmaster. ”

"Grandmaster? What is that? Yun Qing was a little confused.

Yue Qingrou looked at him curiously: "You don't know, right?" You don't practice martial arts? Impossible, how could you shoot that kind of arrow without practicing martial arts? ”

"Uh...... They said, what is the martial god technique I practiced? ”

"What? Martial God Formula? Yueqing and Wanrong stood up in shock, with an incredible expression.

"It can't be. If you are a cultivator of the Martial God Technique, how can you be caught by us? Wanrong said casually.

Yue Qingrou looked at Yun Qing thoughtfully: "Can you run the exercises?" ”

"Exercises? Is it just a way to exert yourself? Yun Qing immediately began to operate the exercises according to what he had learned since he was a child.

As his exercises worked, a purple-golden light flashed from his body.

"Purple Gold Divine Light...... Is it really a martial god trick? Wanrong's face was full of surprise.

Yue Qingrou's eyes flashed with curiosity: "It's really a martial god trick, come quickly, come with me to the courtyard." Let me see the stunt of the martial arts. ”

Yun Qing was almost dragged to the yard by Yue Qingrou.

Dragged all the way to the school yard of the palace, Yue Qingrou pointed to the weapon racks around the school yard: "You can choose whatever you want, you can use whatever you want." ”

The surrounding weapon racks are filled with weapons made of gold, iron and wood.

The weight of this gold, iron and wood is very heavy, and the wooden weapons used to make zuò are not much different from the actual weapons, so the mainland uses the wooden weapons made of gold and iron and wooden zuò as weapons for peacetime training.

Yun Qing looked around, there was no bow on the shelf, and immediately picked up a wooden knife with a bitter face.

"Attack it." Yue Qingrou picked up a wooden sword and said to Yun Qing.

"Drink." Yun Qing waved the wooden knife in his hand and rushed awkwardly towards Yue Qingrou.

Crack, bang......

The knife in Yun Qing's hand was picked off, and the person was kicked out.

"Change to another weapon. Take what you have in hand. ”

Bang bang bang...... xh118
