The fierce guards rushed up, and they faithfully carried out the order, hacking to death the two guards standing next to Niu Lingxiao, almost chopping them into meat sauce.

Tianhao controlled the fury in his body, like a vortex of energy filled with black clouds before the thunderstorm, and his fingers quickly shifted to Niu Lingxiao's pale face: "From now on, kill one person every minute, and save this person for the end." ”

This is the final judgment he gave.

The king of the bulls did not hesitate for a second, turned and ran out of the room as fast as he could, rushed to the stables of the outhouse in a panic, hurriedly untied the reins, turned on his horse, and called out to the others: "Get away, stay away from this damned madman." ”

He now finally believed that the rumors had not been fabricated———— young Rock City Lord was indeed a madman.

The ranks of the Fierce Bull Division were disorganized, and they ran in the direction of the city gate in a haphazard manner. Knowing Tianhao's intentions, the gravel led the people to follow closely, and he caught up with the fierce bull guard who ran at the end, laughed wildly and picked up the battle axe, split the man's shoulder from behind, and directly cut it into two large pieces.

"Lord Lord said, kill one a minute, and use the bones of these dog mongrels to make soup!" He wiped a handful of blood from his face and let out a deafening roar.

Niu Lingxiao ran faster with the people.

The horse team rushed out of the city gate at an astonishing speed, galloping all the way, rushing to a secluded position more than three miles outside the city, and was so frightened that Niu Lingxiao grabbed the reins, and turned around from the horse with palpitations, and looked behind.

The whole team was sparse and unorderly. After counting, there were thirty-one people missing.

"What about people? Didn't keep up? All dead? Niu Lingxiao grabbed the reins with trembling hands, and although he was roaring in anger, his heart was full of fear.

I've seen idiots who don't follow the rules, but I've never seen such unruly madmen.

If he didn't agree with him, he would pick up a knife and cut people, and he did not shy away from it in front of him.

I'm the king of a clan!

The man in black who followed closely behind stepped forward, lifting the brim of his black cloak to reveal a young and handsome face.

If Tianhao was present, he would definitely see that this was his acquaintance, the wizard of the Thunder Bull Division, the high-ranking witch source.

"Congratulations to the king, our trip went well." He leaned close to Niu Lingxiao, smiled lightly and whispered that only two people could hear: "Killing the princess is not a serious crime that can be passed by just talking. Arrogant and domineering, no one in sight, the following are guilty...... Hey, hey, hey, these crimes alone are enough for him, and the combination is an attempt to rebel. Even if he is protected by a great teacher, Niu Tianhao will not be able to escape this catastrophe this time, and His Majesty will not let him go easily. ”

The feeling of fear gradually subsided, Niu Lingxiao took a deep breath, and he stared at Wu Yuan with angry eyes: "It's all your bad idea, what do you say, Niu Tianhao will definitely agree to my request to make compensation." This king took more than 10,000 people for this purpose, as well as my favorite concubine. How do you say this account should be calculated? ”

"We've reached our goal, haven't we?" Wu Yuan smiled lightly: "Everyone saw the princess die in Rock City, Niu Tianhao couldn't tell clearly even if he was full of mouths." The reason why he did such a thing is not difficult to understand. After several victories in a row, he wiped out the entire pig clan, and dedicated the noble pig king to His Majesty. Don't say it's your favorite woman, even if it's a concubine next to Your Majesty, he Niu Tianhao may be tempted and reach out to touch it. ”

"As for women......" he paused slowly: "She has done so many things without telling the king, it is better to kill them as soon as possible than to keep them for more troubles in the future." ”

Niu Lingxiao had returned to his normal state, and he asked meaningfully, "What is the difference between this and rebellion?" ”

"There is no difference." Wu Yuan's cold face showed a sly smile: "According to our original arrangement, spread the news and spread it as far as possible." As a bitter master, you must have your share when settling accounts in the end. The truth doesn't matter, as long as His Majesty believes that the Rock Lord intends to rebel. When the time comes, you will lead the army to break through the Rock City, and everything will be yours. ”

Niu Lingxiao raised the corners of his mouth, sneered, and his habitual debauchery suddenly spread: "I really didn't expect Niu Weibang to have such a guy as you by his side." I really don't know whether to call him unlucky, or should I say that I am luckier than him? ”

Wu Yuan didn't seem to understand the mockery in his words, and his expression was calm: "I am a witch practitioner, and all this is the guidance of the gods. ”

Niu Lingxiao became interested in this: "Did the gods say when I will become the new Majesty of the Niu King?" ”

"It depends on whether you work hard or not." Wu Yuan replied with a smile: "Luck is very important, strength is also essential, and there is also the need to judge the situation and distinguish between the enemy and the enemy." For now, you're not short of that. ”

Very clever flattery, a few words made Niu Lingxiao excited.

"You're a jerk, but I like it. Hahahaha! ”

Laughing, the horse team slowly headed north.

……

The Rock City Lord's office had been cleaned up, the body had been dragged away, and the ground had been washed with water and wiped repeatedly, and there was no trace of blood, but there was still a faint amount of blood in the air.

Tianhao sat in his chair and fell into thought.

Niu Lingxiao's purpose is very clear, it is nothing more than blackmail, and by the way, he buys and sells. These are not difficult to deal with, but he just played his cards according to common sense, killed the woman, and blamed himself.

There is no point in denial, people die in Rock City, and that is the biggest and best excuse.

There is no homicide investigation, and the other party's next move must be to spread rumors. It won't be long before words like "The Lord of Rock City killed the princess of the fierce bull" will spread. This does not necessarily cause actual damage, but it certainly has an extremely negative impact.

For example, His Majesty the Bull King's attitude towards himself.

There is also the man in black who followed Niu Lingxiao, Tianhao was sure that he had seen him somewhere, and the figure was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

He simply didn't want to.

All problems must be solved through practical action. In short, do what needs to be done well, and in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will be ineffective.

……

As the weather warms up, the planting season is here again.

Tianhao attaches great importance to this spring ploughing, from the allocation of manpower to the distribution of seeds, and the pro-guard team supervises every link of the entire process, ensuring that the huge farming group runs as steadily as a machine, without delay or waste.

The land around Rock City has been utilized to the extreme, and the surplus population has moved to other walled cities a few months ago. In particular, Zhangpu Village, where Tianfeng is the leader, has reached a jaw-dropping level in terms of scale and cultivated land development.

Food is the overriding key. Tianhao has been keeping Shi Yong, just to get corn and potatoes by persuading him to surrender. It's a pity that the city lord of Broken Gold is a tough guy who is both loyal and brave, and he has a strategic vision, Tianhao is reluctant to kill this kind of talent, so he can only be imprisoned and detained, and he will talk about it later.

Over the past few years, the Bighorn Ranch has continued to expand and is now almost at a tipping point. Because of the boundary of the high-concentration radiation area, the growth area of mutant ryegrass is limited, and Tianhao has ordered people to try to breed in other places many times without success, and the population of Bighorn Deer has also been compressed. There are a lot of alfalfa in Jia 43, but at present, the main crops planted in the rock collar are wheat, and there is no manpower to plant grass for the time being. Tianhao has selected alfalfa planting areas and expects to start planting a large area this summer.

Horses can only flow in from the Tiger Clan, and thanks to Zumu's dirty and cunning methods, the population has improved. In total, there are 133 foals on the farm, about half of which are males, and in time they will be able to produce their own herds.

This is a crucial card in Tianhao's hand. Stallions are so precious that they can be used to exchange vital resources when it matters most. In fact, he never thought of forming a rock-led cavalry based on horses, and planned to take two steps, and the ordinary cavalry that had been revealed to the public naturally used horses as horses. At present, there is only one prototype of the dragoon army, mainly because the number of mutant velociraptors and mutant triceratops is insufficient, and it is difficult to form a strong enough combat force.

The lowest level of dragoons in Tianhao's mind was at least five hundred horses, and less than this number would be weak. Of course, even if the number is small, as long as it is used properly, it can still achieve miraculous results, but this can only play a one-time role and cannot become a long-term deterrent.

Again: it takes time.

Tens of thousands of cultivators were on the plains, and there were people busy on the gentle slopes of the hills in the distance. The main crop there is radishes, which have a short growing season and can be sown in all seasons, and along with stinging melons and various vegetables, they have become some of the staple food substitutes for the rock collar.

Since the previous year, the Rock City Fishery has stopped using firewood to cook salt. Peat is the best fuel, and the trees in the mountains are mainly used for shipbuilding. In the summer, the salt works are growing in size, producing enough salt to supply everyone throughout the year, and there is a lot leftover. Yuan Kai asked whether to stop the work of women and children boiling salt with peat, but Tianhao vetoed it after careful consideration. All the tribes of the northern barbarians need salt, which is an extremely important strategic material and reserves must be increased.

Raw meal and clinker are unique terms for shipbuilding timber. In the current state of the dockyard, the clinker reserves have long been unable to make ends meet, so we have no choice but to temporarily build ships with raw materials, while at the same time storing a large amount of usable timber. Tianhao has no good way to do this, but can only tell the craftsmen to ensure that the shipbuilding performance is as good as possible, to meet the normal needs of the fishing ground and the fleet in a short period of time.

Construction and exploration on Jeju Island are taking place at the same time.

To facilitate access to sulphur, Quya set up its initial camp on a slope facing away from the sulphur valley. The river flows through here, and there is a spring in the mountain, which is abundant enough to sustain normal consumption and is also a habitat for a large number of animals. The conquest of the island's indigenous people was more of a hunt than a battle. Under the combined attack of hundreds of well-trained archers and heavy infantry, dozens of beasts of prey, hundreds of snakes, large and small, and thousands of different types of birds were killed.

The towering trees that had grown for many years were cut down to form the gates and facades of the makeshift camp. The camp is small in size, with a capacity of about three thousand people. On the orders of the Curved Teeth, the sturdy pig infantry dug pits near the camp for mud and obtained the basic materials necessary for firing bricks.

In addition to the walls, the towers were built first, and the residences were second. The northern barbarians are so strong that they can even sleep in the wild in the pouring rain, and as long as there is a campfire, plenty of food and water, and the temperature does not drop to unbearable levels, they sleep directly on the ground like wild animals.

Because there was only one ship, the first deliveries consisted mainly of food and steel. When the two small towers stood at each end of the camp, one in front of the other and one behind them, and the archers stood at the top of the towers and looked around, signaling "everything is safe" with flags, the people in the camp smiled and went about their work.

From one kilogram to fifty kilograms, several successive test explosions were successful, and the black powder blew up a huge rock on the eastern cliff. Looking at the rubble everywhere, Curved Tooth nodded in satisfaction. He didn't do it on the fly, the boulder blocked the way to the Brimstone Hillside, and the small pieces of stone would be collected and used as building materials for the camp.

"God above, it's the scariest thing I've ever seen." The red nose sniffled vigorously, smelling the thick smoke in the air, and his heart palpitated.

Crooked Tooth has the opposite view: "You are wrong, this is the best gift that God has given us." As the lord said, this thing can change an era, and it will allow us to slaughter our enemies more efficiently, instead of slashing them with long knives and axes as we used to do. ”

Red Nose clenched the throwing gun in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the cliff in the distance where the smoke and dust of the explosion had not yet dissipated: "I have never doubted the lord, but I still prefer to trust my weapon. ”

Curved Tooth smiled slightly: "You will soon find out that you are very wrong." ”

"Maybe, but at least not now." Leaving this sentence that he thought was handsome, he stepped forward and strode towards the cliff that had been blown open.

In teams of twenty people, people searched in different directions.

It was a very large island, more than a third larger than the current entire Rock Territory. To the west and east are rolling mountain ranges, with a vast plain in the middle, and in addition to the natural sulphur scattered in the western hills, people have found a lot of resources to exploit.

Mostly hares, which are incredibly numerous, they are an important part of the island's food chain. Both snakes and beasts of prey feed on them.

The barbarian's knowledge is limited, and the bent tooth remembers Tianhao's advice before leaving, whether it is useful or not, whether he knows it or not, as long as he encounters plants, animals, stones and all kinds of messy things that he has never seen before, he collects them all and brings them back to the camp, and hands them over to Zhengjiang to transport back to Rock City.
