Chapter 40: Young Master, Atonement!
After three days of leaving the cottage, the simple mountain road was finally completed, and out of the mountains came an endless plain, and the plain was overgrown with green crops.
"Young Master, let's go in now, the third master's jurisdiction," Li Tianlong introduced to Liu Lei.
"Hmm"
Liu Lei nodded, but his heart was full of resentment, people are more popular than people, although he is now managing a town, but the entire jurisdiction is only one town, the population is less than a hundred, not to mention that even food and clothing can be reached recently. The population of the third uncle Liu Tianzheng is 50,000 in a town, and there are dozens of large and small villages in the jurisdiction, each village has hundreds of people, thousands of acres of fertile land, in short, every village in Muhua Town is more than ten times better than Qingfeng Town.
Sitting on the horse, without the bumps of the mountain road, Liu Lei can also relax and look at the scenery on both sides of the way. The main crops of the Mixed Yuan Continent are also similar to the rice on the earth, but because the climate and environment of the Mixed Yuan Continent are much better than that of the earth, the size and vitality of these rice are also much stronger than that of the earth.
"Young Master, look at that"
Xiao Cui pointed to a bird that was startled by the convoy and cheered excitedly. Leaving the dangerous jungle, everyone's mood relaxed a lot, and many people looked over when they heard Xiao Cui's cheers, with a smile on their faces.
Liu Lei rode a horse and walked, next to Xiaocui's carriage accompanied Xiao Bailing in the convoy, talking and laughing, and the energetic voice also swept away the depression of the convoy for a few days.
"I really want to get all this food home"
A young man from Qingfeng Town beside Liu Lei whispered.
Liu Lei turned his head to look over, showing a kind smile, and his heart was a little bitter, not to mention the red eyes of the people in Qingfeng Town, Liu Lei's eyes were about to erupt.
The convoy had a while on the flat road, and there were more and more people on the road, this road was the only way for the Liu family fief to lead to the Warcraft Forest, and people who came back from the mountains would gather on this road, including all kinds of expeditions, and farmers who went to the mountains to collect medicinal materials.
It is inevitable that some people have bad thoughts about the convoy of Liu Lei and others, especially the five carts full of goods wrapped in tarpaulin, fortunately, Li Tianlong's strength is good, plus there are family members wearing armor and expedition members who are veterans at a glance to support the façade, and there are more than 20 townspeople guarding the guards, so no one acted rashly, just looked at it from a distance.
Seeing that Liu Lei was a little nervous, Li Tianlong leaned over and said, "Don't worry, young master, it's up there, Carter Fortress is over, it's safe after the fortress, and these flies will be scattered."
Before Liu Lei could speak, Xiao Cui on the side tilted his head and asked, "But now that we are in a fiefdom, why are there still many people following us?"
Li Tianlong was obedient, shook his head with a smile and said: "Before the fortress, it was a wild world, and only after the fortress can there be law and justice, even if there is murder at the gate of the fortress, no one will be held accountable, the entire human world is close to the Warcraft Forest is a law, if you take care of it, no one will have that energy." ”
Liu Lei and Xiao Cui both nodded, this is the first time they have heard of this statement, they have been taught, it seems that only within the scope of the ability of each human force can there be civilization to talk about, Liu Lei looked back at the road he had walked over, maybe one day after the rise of Qingfeng Town, this road will be less dirty, and in this small corner of the continent, civilization can also take a small step forward towards the Warcraft Forest.
After walking for a while, I could see a small fortress in the distance, a fortress with an area of four or five miles, blocking the road, and the flow of people on the road converged on the gate of the fortress.
The convoy came to the front of the fortress without hurry, looking at the fortress wall made of black masonry, the information of the entire fortress also appeared in Liu Lei's mind, the successor of every family in the Mixed Yuan Continent must know the situation in the fief well, including towns and fortresses, although Liu Lei has not been favored since he was a child, but the most basic fiefdom situation still needs to be understood, although he was stupid since he was a child, under the whip of his father, Liu Lei still knows a lot of mountains and rivers in the fief.
This fortress named Carter, the wall is ten meters high and three meters wide, the city gate is three meters high and three meters wide, the circumference is three thousand meters, the garrison is five hundred people, and it is directly under the command of the lord Liu Tianyu himself.
"Moving Forward"
Li Tianlong commanded the convoy, and did not line up behind the flow of people waiting for inspection and release, but walked directly towards the gate of the fortress.
"Stop!"
Sure enough, the soldiers guarding the gate of the fortress shouted loudly, and more than a dozen soldiers showed their weapons and surrounded them.
"Who are you, why don't you line up and go straight to the gate" A leading junior officer asked vigilantly, many soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the convoy, and the crowd in line hurriedly hid to the side when they saw this.
"The young master of the Liu family, do you need to queue up?" Li Tianlong, who took the lead, asked in a deep voice.
The little officer looked confused when he heard this, but the soldiers on the side recognized Li Tianlong, hurriedly stopped everyone, and stepped forward to remind him.
"Wait! Wait! ”
Before the little officer could react, an anxious voice came, a fat man wearing delicate armor and a big belly, ran out of the fortress, separated everyone and ran to the little officer, ignoring the sweat on his face, kicked the little officer on the heel, and scolded angrily: "Blind your dog eyes, I don't even know General Manager Li."
After scolding, he turned around and waved again and again, and said to Li Tianlong, who was riding on a horse: "Mr. Li atons for his sins, atonement, this is my nephew, I just came here a few days ago, I don't know you, you have a lot"
Li Tianlong obviously didn't like this fat man, glanced at him and said, "Okay, Wang Fatty, now I dare to get my own people in the fortress." ”
Wang Fatzi was even more panicked and hurriedly said, "Mr. Li! How dare I, secondment, secondment, my nephew is seconded from another town."
Li Tianlong smiled, pointed to Liu Lei behind him and said, "Please me, forgive you for being useless, you have to ask the eldest young master about this."
"Young Master?" Wang Fatzi was also confused, looked at Liu Lei, and then was startled, hurriedly ran to Liu Lei's horse, puffed and knelt on the ground, the chicken pecked the rice and kowtowed and said: "The eldest young master atonements, the eldest young master atonements, I didn't see you just now, I neglected the young master"
Although almost everyone in the fiefdom knew that Liu Lei was a waste, after all, Liu Lei was still the heir of the family in name, and he was by no means something that a five-hundred-person leader could offend.
Liu Lei turned over and dismounted, helped Wang Fatzi up and said with a smile: "Commander Wang, please come, I didn't say that I want to blame you, and besides, your nephew has not made a mistake in his duties, you better get up."
Wang Fatzi didn't expect Liu Lei to be so approachable, so he breathed a sigh of relief, so he stood up and said: "The eldest young master is magnanimous, the little nephew really didn't see the flag on the convoy, and he disturbed the young master, so he should be punished...... Uh"
As he was talking, Wang Fatzi glanced at the convoy, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't see the family flag representing the identity of the Liu family.
Liu Lei coughed, a little embarrassed not because he didn't want to, he planted the family flag, but when he was really driven out, the old witch of the second lady didn't give it to him, and he didn't want to hang it, otherwise how could anyone dare to worry about them in the Liu family's fiefdom on the road.
"I said Wang Fatty, you just let the eldest young master stand here?" Seeing this, Li Tianlong hurriedly played a round field.
Yes......
"The eldest young master, please inside, please inside" Although Wang Fatzi was a little puzzled, he still saw Liu Lei a few times at the annual banquet every year, and he didn't ask too much, although Liu Lei was kicked out of the family by the second lady, but this kind of thing is not something that an outsider can know about him, he only knows that the eldest young master passed by the fortress a few months ago, and he was catching up with him to train outside, and he had no clue about the specific reasons.
