Enchanting scenery.

After more than ten days of travel, Ma Long and his entourage finally arrived at their first destination.

The water of Moon Bay is turquoise and cool, and is slowly fed by three rivers.

In this era of no chemical pollution, it looks pleasing to the eye.

A flock of mallards frolic with each other on the surface of the water, grooming their feathers and catching fish for food.

From time to time, a few finches fall from the branches on the side, and after a ripple in the lake, the fish and shrimp fly quickly.

On the shore of the lake, a human village stood quietly, and it was noon, and the smoke was curling.

Children chase each other along the road, circling around the house and laughing carefreely.

Malone left the army behind and arrived here with only a small entourage.

Looking at the quiet scene in front of him, he couldn't help but think of when he was still in the windmill village, and his heart unconsciously relaxed, and he felt a sense of relief to throw away his burden.

"I really want to live here forever!" Elijah sighed softly.

Ma Long echoed: "When we let go of everything one day, we will find a place like this, take our families, and live quietly." ”

Although they said this, both of them knew in their hearts that such a day was still too far away for them now!

The guards stood guard at a distance and could not hear the two men talking.

Walking slowly into the village, the children looked at the stranger with curious eyes.

At the same time, I can't stop my curiosity.

I just think the two of them are so good-looking!

The clothes look good, too!

The adults went out with a little vigilance, took their children back, and slapped them on the buttocks.

At the same time, he shouted and scolded to stay away from strangers!

No one here had ever seen Ma Long, and they didn't know that His Majesty had come to them.

Long experience has taught the villagers that it is not a good thing for strangers to come to the village.

In the past, every time an outsider came, either to collect taxes or to recruit soldiers, and the days became more and more difficult, which formed a common understanding.

It wasn't until these years that things changed, and their lives were much better with new seed fertilizers that gave the land a good harvest.

The noble lord above is gone, as if he was beheaded by the new king.

The tax is also only 40%, which is said to be the uniform standard of the whole country.

Whoever dares to add anything more will kill the new king's head, which makes the simple villagers full of affection for this king who has never met before, and only hopes that he can rule forever!

The new nation made the people rich, and everyone welcomed the new kingdom and the new king, or at least they kept people from starving!

As for the previous Pei Yang, it had nothing to do with civilians.

Although life is better, all the villagers are strongly wary of strangers they have never met.

Without it, the previous image was too profound......

"Where did the two nobles come from?"

Ordinary villagers can turn a blind eye to Ma Long and the two and avoid them from afar.

Purina, who was the head of the village, could not be invisible, and came out of his own wooden house on crutches, hoping only that it was not a bad thing.

Looking at the well-equipped guards not far away, as well as the man and woman in front of him who were extraordinary, richly dressed, the old village chief who had seen the world couldn't figure out what the other party was about.

In his image, no one else has such a demeanor.

Even before the kingdom was founded, the Earl above their heads was far inferior.

"Old man, can we go inside and talk?" Ma Long looked at the old man who was on crutches in front of him, obviously worried in his heart but supported himself, and had some admiration in his heart, but he didn't want the other party to stand and suffer.

"Okay." The old man thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement, "My name is Purina, and I am the head of this village, so if you have any questions, please ask me, I just hope not to disturb the villagers." ”

"Don't worry, I'll ask some questions this time." Ma Long naturally knew what the other party was worried about, so he directly stated his purpose, which was regarded as reassuring the old man.

Seeing that the other party still couldn't let down his vigilance, he beckoned to the distance.

"Your Majesty......" a guard trotted over.

"Go and call the mayor." Marlon commanded without waiting for the other party's instructions.

"Yes!"

The guard was stunned, took two steps back, and turned to leave.

The mayor had been waiting outside the village for a long time, ready to follow the call.

Not only the mayor of the town, but also a large number of officials above are waiting.

When the guards heard that the local mayor was named by His Majesty, these big men who were usually high in the eyes of the people were envious in their hearts.

can show his face in front of His Majesty, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, then in the future, not to mention smooth progress, it will definitely be smooth, and no one dares to find trouble.

"Your Majesty......"

The village chief, Purina, was shocked when he heard the guards call Ma Long.

I seem to have heard something terrible, did I hear it wrong?

He froze in place for a moment, not knowing what to do!

"Let's go, go to your house." Ma Long saw the other party's reaction and urged helplessly.

The old man shuddered, suddenly came back to his senses, and replied, "Yes...... It's Your Majesty...... "The back of the ...... that was originally too old to be straightened was bent a little again.

Ma Long is helpless, which is why he is reluctant to reveal his identity many times, and he can't even speak.

He had seen Purina come out of the cabin with his own eyes, and knew where the other party lived, so he walked over first.

The village chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was thinking about whether he should lead the way for this young man who suspected to be His Majesty in the front, or should he lead the way in the rear?

No matter what you do, it seems a little impolite, and when you are in a dilemma, seeing that Your Majesty has already walked ahead, your heart will naturally relax a little.

When the mayor gasped for breath, he ran in from outside the village, and when he reached the door of the hut, he saw His Majesty sitting opposite one of his chiefs.

There was a sudden chuckle in my heart and I lifted it.

Could this Purina not know His Majesty's identity, so he lost his manners and talked nonsense.

But thinking about the old man's usual behavior, he is still a very steady guy, so it shouldn't be.

But in any case, you should not sit in front of the king and queen!

So he opened his mouth and shouted: "Purina, if you don't get up to apologize, how can you sit in front of Your Majesty and the Queen?" ”

Call!

Hearing the mayor's reprimand, the village chief, who was already struggling to sit, stood up at a speed that was not suitable for his age.

"Mayor ......"

"Forget it......" Malone waved his hand and said, "You can sit too, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

"This ......"

"Don't even listen to my orders?"

"Yes!"

The two of them sat down, but only their butts were gently against the edge of the stool.

Ma Long rubbed his forehead with some annoyance, which is also the reason why he brought Illya over before and did not reveal his identity.

Originally, the people in the village were more vigilant, and the old village chief was even more vigilant, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ask anything, so he wanted the town mayor to come over to prove his identity.

Which Cheng thought that just because of the title of the guard, it became like this again!

It's not that Malone is troublesome, there are so many officials waiting outside, so they have to come here to find the smallest village official.

There are really certain situations, especially the details of life at the bottom, and only these people at the bottom really know the inside story! I want to talk about "Crossing with a Panel" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
