Zhou Wen took all the challenges, and knocked the leader's weapon away with a very easy move, and then either kicked the opponent away, or put the knife on the leader's neck, these failed leaders, without exception, knelt on the ground and surrendered. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a result, Zhao Hu's side won completely, and all the surviving rogues surrendered.

"My lord, am I amazing?"

Zhou Wen, who was covered in sweat, immediately ran to Zhao Hu and waited for praise. He didn't notice that the guys next to him were secretly twitching their noses, and their faces were full of obsession.

Sun Jie, who smelled a faint fragrance, was secretly speechless, and secretly thought in his heart: "I don't know how Zhou Wen, the eldest sister, did it, even the sweat is fragrant, isn't it generally smelly?" Could it be that even the body will change when the mentality changes? ”

Zhao Hu smiled: "It's amazing, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so superb, keep working hard." ”

Zhou Wen, who got his wish and was praised, immediately said excitedly: "Yes, my subordinates must work hard to practice!" Strive to become the most powerful swordsman on the continent! ”

After a few words, Zhao Hu said to Yu An, who had been staying by his side: "Yu An, leave a squadron to clean up the battlefield, and the others will escort the prisoners back." ”

After receiving the order, Yu An immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to assign tasks, he felt that Lord Zhao Hu was able to let him carry out the task, indicating that he did not care about his crime of issuing orders without authorization.

After returning to the lord's mansion, Zhao Hu sat on the main seat, and Maude and Nangong Dun stepped forward and took the lead in kneeling down and shouting: "See the lord." ”

The leader of the rogue behind them stood silently on his knees.

"My lord?"

Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen and Sun Jie, who stayed in the council hall, were stunned, what is this name? Literally, the lord is the master, and the duke is the grand duke, do they think they are the grand duke?

Zhao Hu knew that things related to nobles should not be misunderstood, so he shook his head and said, "Please don't call me that, I'm not the Grand Duke." ”

Zhou Wen and Sun Jie also nodded violently, you must know that the crime of claiming the title without authorization is only one level lower than the rebellion. And Liu Bin, who helped with the medicine, burst out laughing.

Hearing Zhao Hu's words and Liu Bin's laughter, the shoulders of the kneeling rogues trembled, while Maude and Nangong Dun were dumbfounded.

Zhou Wen muttered something in Zhao Hu's ear, and Zhao Hu nodded and said to the dozens of rogue leaders: "Since you have surrendered, then you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner, and I will not sell you as slaves." ”

Nangong Dun, who originally wanted to explain, saw that Zhao Hu dealt with the other rogues first, so he was silent for the time being.

Hearing this, the captives immediately kowtowed and shouted, "Thank you, sir!" ”

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hu said: "But since you are invaders, then it is not okay not to punish you, I decided to force you to work for three years, and after three years, you will become a free citizen of the territory, and everyone will own a piece of land and enjoy a tax of ten taxes." Are you willing to obey my decision? ”

Hearing this condition, the rogues didn't say a word, and kowtowed again, but they didn't expect that not only would they not have to be sold, but they would also be able to own a piece of land after three years of hard labor, which was really good!

Not only does this territory have a strong guard, but the taxes are so low, it is really a good place to settle down and work, and it seems that you have to find an opportunity to bring your relatives and friends here.

Seeing that the leaders of the Liukou all agreed to their own handling, Zhao Hu waved his hand and asked the guards to take them down, and the council hall suddenly became empty, and only Nangong Dun and Mo De were left with the Liukou.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Nangong Dun hurriedly said: "Lord, the word lord is a title that indicates the honorific title of your subordinates. ”

As soon as they heard this, Zhou Wen and Sun Jie's faces immediately changed, and Zhou Wen shouted angrily: "Shut up!" How dare you slander your lordship? Don't die! ”

Being scolded by Zhou Wen like this, Nangong Dun was dumbfounded again, and when he heard Zhou Wen, "You guys are really ill-intentioned!" How dare you call your subordinates to adults? I want to frame the adult", Nangong Dun immediately couldn't cry or laugh, and could only look at Maude helplessly.

Maude, who kept her face from laughing, felt that she had no way to explain, so she had to lower her head and keep silent.

Anyway, Gong Zuo used to be from a big family, so it's better to leave it to him to explain, and Maude, who doesn't have a surname, can't explain it even if he wants to.

When Nangong Dun still wanted to explain, Liu Bin had already said with a smile: "My lord, this lord is the title of our Eastern Continent, and it has several meanings, one is the title of the subordinate to the monarch, the second is the honorific title of the servant to his master, and the third is the honorific title of the guest to the male host.

"However, in the Eastern Continent, it is generally used by the direct subordinates of those power princes, but I don't know how the Southeast Peninsula learned the name of the Eastern Continent."

When Liu Bin said this, he suddenly remembered something, and his face became unnatural.

Just now he was a little snickering at Zhao Hu's nervousness, but now he understands that if Zhao Hu takes in two subordinates who call him "Lord Gong", there will definitely be people who suspect that Zhao Hu wants to be independent!

Nangong Dun obviously understood this, so he kept silent, and Maude, who had gained insight from Liu Bin's words, said a little sarcastically: "Lord, we are your subordinates, so it's right to call you Lord!" ”

"How dare you talk nonsense!" Zhou Wen rushed up and kicked Maude, so frightened that Maude hurriedly knelt down and didn't dare to speak.

Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "Or call me an adult, yes, I remember when I subdued you, you said allegiance, right?" Can you make me understand why you two are willing to join me, a little Imperial Major? ”

"Major!"

Nangong Dun and Maude were both taken aback, they also knew that in the Augustus Empire, the major and above could be canonized, could it be that the person who took refuge in him was the lowest one among the magnates who owned the territory in the empire?

But this is impossible, can a small major have nearly two thousand cavalry guards? Even the big city lord on his side is not so extravagant!

Although he was thinking wildly, the boss who was responsible for his own eating and drinking in the future spoke, and he still had to answer, and Maude, who was more upright in this regard, was the first to speak: "...... minister"

Maude originally wanted to say that he was subordinate, but he was glared at by Zhou Wen and immediately changed his words.

"The subordinates can't eat on the Southeast Peninsula, and when they see that the adults are so strong, they want to take refuge, rest assured, as long as the adults are not destroyed, the subordinates will not turn to others, which is a custom on the Southeast Peninsula."

Zhao Hu was stunned, did this guy do it on purpose or was his nature like this, and he actually said so loudly that as long as he was not destroyed, he would not leave?

Although this is human nature, why shouldn't you say it so bluntly, aren't you afraid that your boss will be angry? Thinking of this, Zhao Hu looked at Nangong Dun.

"The subordinates hope to use the power of adults to reproduce the glory of the Nangong family." Nangong Dun said expressionlessly.

"Recreate the splendor of your home? You should find a good force to take refuge in the Southeast Peninsula, and the forces on the Southeast Peninsula will be easier to help you achieve your goals. Zhao Hu said with a smile.

Nangong Dun thought about it for a while and felt that it was better to tell the truth.

"My lord, even if the Nangong family was the lord of a city in its glory days, after losing most of the warriors and territories, no one would take a second look.

"And the Southeast Peninsula has always been a water dog for the forces that have lost power, and there is no charcoal in the snow at all, so if our Nangong family doesn't want to perish, we can only take refuge in the outside forces."

Hearing Nangong Dun's words, Zhou Wen and Sun Jie both pouted with disdain, at the most glorious time, they were the city lords of a city, and there were thousands of cities on the Southeast Peninsula, such a little force looked at him as if he was very powerful, he was really a frog at the bottom of the well!

"Oh, since you want my lord to help you regain your glory, what will you repay? Just a dozen of your so-called samurai? After taking care of Locke and Luo Fei, Odi, who had just come in from outside, interjected and asked.

Hearing this, Nangong Dun immediately said: "The Nangong family can give the adults a bridgehead to attack the Southeast Peninsula. ”

Maude immediately answered and said, "My subordinates can lead the way for adults!" We are very familiar with the coastal area! ”

"Without an order from the military headquarters, it is impossible for the Imperial Army to attack the Southeast Peninsula." Zhao Hu shook his head.

Nangong Dun hurriedly said: "Your Excellency can attack the Southeast Peninsula in the name of thieves, and the Nangong family is willing to take care of the occupied territory for the lord!" ”

Maude answered again: "The subordinates are also willing to serve the lord!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Hu didn't speak, Ou Di immediately sneered: "You think well, we work hard to lay down the territory and you are in charge, how can there be such a good thing in the world!" ”

"This lord, that's not what he said, since he can't occupy it blatantly, then he can only support the locals to be the city lord, if he doesn't do this, he will definitely provoke the siege of all the forces around!" Miyatsu explained.

Maude also nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, in fact, the magnates of the empire and the Freedom Alliance have not been able to lay down their own territories and manage them by themselves as you said, but the result is that they are besieged by forces from all sides, and in the end they can only leave helplessly." The people of the Southeast Peninsula are still very united in this regard. ”

Zhao Hu, who was not good at bargaining, glanced at Ou Di, Ou Di nodded, and after a deep groan, he said, "Even if this is the case, what benefits can we get?" Don't talk about how much to pay taxes, I believe that you know the economy of the Southeast Peninsula better than us. ”

Hearing this, Maude looked at Odie a little dumbfounded, which made Odie feel uncomfortable, and he didn't know what he said wrong.

Nangong Dun said helplessly: "This lord, I'm afraid you have been misunderstood by those rumors, the profits made by the coastal city lord just by changing hands to buy and sell the goods of the two countries are very amazing, like the nearest Bright Moon City, which is close to here, and the profit from the two ends of the transaction alone is more than 30,000 gold coins per month!" ”
