Chapter Forty-Six: The Black Construction Committee That Opened White Slips Indiscriminately
Three days later, early one morning, Sir Weidman got up from a pile of female slaves, he was a nobleman in a small castle in the north of the northern frontier - the North Castle, surrounded by 3ooo tenants, in fashionable terms, a large landowner, but this landlord is relatively pitiful, not only does not pay the surplus every year, but also relies on the relief of Neverwinter to feed his 2oo soldiers......
But he has money, where does the money come from, smuggling, from the far north to the northern Xinjiang furs, timber, minerals he has to take taxes, or one out of ten, he doesn't care how many others draw, anyway, he wants one out of ten, the merchants who come and go give him the nickname "Eleven Sizzles", I don't know what kind of West Sea military value ranking eleventh knight.
Weidmann patted the slave girl's bare buttocks, put on her pajamas contentedly, came to the window of the castle, opened the window and waved down, and the soldiers who had been sitting on the ground to rest immediately stood up and shouted in unison under the leadership of the captain:
"Report to Lord Sir that we did not hesitate to break our bones to defend the North Castle, and we died a well-deserved death to defend the land of Lord Sir, and we are the best under the wise leadership of Lord Sir...... North Lookout Iron Guard! β
Weidmann's vanity was once again slightly satisfied, and he waved at everyone, and the soldiers who had finished their work immediately chatted and went home. Weidmann took a sip of the coffee handed by the maid, looked at the vast forest in the north, and said:
"Ah, how fresh the air is, how warm the sun is......"
The maid hurriedly took out the charcoal she had with her and began to record the great poetry of the jazz in a book full of poems! When Sir Chanted:
"How beautiful life is", suddenly there was no sound, and the maid looked at Sir strangely, didn't Sir have to read fourteen long poems every day, what is the matter today. Oops, the coffee is all spilled. The maid hurriedly wiped the stains on Jazz's body, and Jazz suddenly put his hands on the edge of the window and rushed down and shouted:
"Giants, giants are coming!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Supu giants who took the lead are the total horn and the second horn, and the two big guys are now hardcore brain-dead fans of Zhang Huen, and they are wearing the giant armor built by Zhang Huen himself (in fact, it is the front and back two iron plates. In the middle, it is tied with a rope made of cooked cowhide and horse skin and kneaded with hemp rope) Holding a re-forged two-handed sword and a huge shield in his hands, and wearing a domed iron helmet on his head, he ran ahead of the cavalry.
"Watch out for crops that haven't been harvested yet!"
The white face who rode the horse and followed them looked at the yellow, orange and orange ears of wheat and screamed, afraid that the giants and the horse team would directly spoil this grain, the farmers who were harvesting in the field ran away as soon as they saw the giants, and the cavalry team and the two giants stopped in front of the ears of wheat, for the grain that these black cities could not see at all, they were very cherished, when all 12oo cavalry stopped. The 5ooo warriors in the rear were late, and they poured into the wheat field, picked up the scythes thrown by the farmers, and began to harvest the wheat with their hands and feet.
Brenita drew on papyrus with a charcoal pen with a black face, one for every bag filled, Zhang Huen deliberately disgusted him, aren't you a cow, don't you like to cheat your father, I will let you be a bookkeeper. You can't do it, do you? The barbarian warrior harvested the ears of wheat and put them in his mouth to chew. Some people chewed out tears.
"For many years, I thought I would never see the legendary wheat in my life, but with the blessing of my ancestors, I finally set foot on this fertile land again!"
Standing on the walls of the castle, Weidmann watched the barbarians loot his food, and his heart ached, and the herald he sent out was soon captured by the gray-robed rangers. Even the horses were confiscated, and the herald, who was tied into a dumpling, knelt in front of Zhang Huen, who put down his hammer and shield, dismounted and walked in front of him, untied the ropes for him, and said:
"Go back and tell your boss. We're here to do business, so let him get acquainted, and it's better to open the gates at once, or don't blame our giant brother for hammering down his walls. β
"I don't know, I don't know the name of the adult, I'll go back and restore my life!"
"Let's just say that the Heicheng Post-War Reconstruction Committee is here, forget it, it's too long, let's go to the Heicheng Construction Committee!"
"Yes, the little one must bring the news. My horse? β
"I bought it, Brinita, give him an IOU!"
Holding a sheet with the words "Buy a seven-year-old horse, equivalent to 2o gold su, come to Heicheng in exchange for equivalent goods, Heijian Committee, the twenty-second day of the month of the god of fire in the year 3o64 of the father's calendar." The herald of the white strip returned to the North Castle with a sad face and threw the ham, Weidman looked at the charcoal words on the white strip with a blue face, and tore the white strip wildly, and the herald's face was even more mournful, it was his own old horse, and it was not your Sir Sir's, and now he didn't even have the only credentials, and his report was a big loss.
"Shoot me arrows and kill these bandits!"
"Sir, don't be reckless!"
Fortunately, the captain of the soldiers was still sober, and stopped Weidmann's madness in time, he asked the soldiers to invite Lord Sir back to the castle, and decided to send someone to negotiate with the barbarians, and fifteen minutes later, the knight sent came back with a sad face and a white strip, and he was even more miserable, even the armor and weapons on his body were stripped off, but the price he gave him was 15 gold su.
"It looks like it's going to be endless!"
"Captain, what should I do?"
"Run! No, we must risk our lives to report to the Duke, or these barbarians will crawl like locusts all over our northern frontier when they go south. β
"What about Lord Sir?"
"Lord Sir fainted because of the battle at the head of the city, and we can't take a single person who fainted, right?"
ββ¦β¦ yes, let's run away...... Let's go and report to the Duke! β
The soldiers who had left behind the three thousand tenants and Lord Sir had taken out all the horses in the castle, and had just left the castle not far before they encountered 3oo rangers wandering nearby, and when they saw the captain in the gray robe, he was first overjoyed and was about to go up for help, and then, and then he was tragic.
2oo stripped armor weapons. The prisoners of war who confiscated the horses were pressed in front of Zhang Huen, who asked them to let them go, and said to the gray-robed squad leader Grayfoot:
"We're here to do business, and we'll let them go after we buy things, why do we have to capture people again and again, which makes people think we're robbers!"
"You're letting us go. Won't shoot arrows from behind? β
The captain looked incredulous, Zhang Huen came over and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"The business is not successful, but it is still benevolent, not to mention that we have made a good deal, let's go, welcome to Heicheng, we are very rich, there are obsidian, iron ore, thousands of years of timber ......"
The captain who was advertised by Zhang Huen took 199 of his men wearing thin single clothes and pinched the white strips in the congratulations of the barbarians to welcome their next visit, and the barbarians quickly harvested more than a dozen acres of wheat, and the Supu giant moved his steps towards the castle. The tenants in the castle were all frightened and fled, shouting with white faces and throats:
"Don't run, we don't kill people, we're here to do business!"
But the devil believes you, and the tenants have all run away in a puff of smoke, and the Supu giant smashed open the gate in two blows, and the barbarians and the gray-robed men rushed in, standing on the gate with white faces and shouting:
"It is forbidden to kill innocents indiscriminately. We are here to do business, and if there are any problems that are difficult to solve, we should ask the chairman to solve them. β
The barbarians soon ransacked the mills and granaries. The rest of the houses Zhang Huen did not agree to enter, but the workshops in the castle could not escape, what blacksmith shop, leather workshop, carpentry shop, bakery, wine cellar, inn, merchant house, tavern, kiln, gambling house, what mess as long as the interests of the shop did not escape the looting, some businessmen cried and cried and cried to find Zhang Huen theory. Zhang Huen only said to the white face:
"I'm so annoyed, shut my mouth and drive it away!"
Then there was another group of bare businessmen outside the city who were howling to go to Neverwinter to sue the Black Construction Committee. The merchants are still good, but the tragedy is that those craftsmen who have a skill are robbed. Even the guys who ate were dismantled and loaded into the carriage, just when they didn't know how to deal with themselves, their people were also taken away by Zhang Huen's words, and they were given a white strip as usual, with a daily salary of 1 gold su, which was already the first in the West Sea according to the specifications, but the white strip could not be eaten as a meal, so the craftsmen were tied up and thrown on the cart and pulled away.
When they entered the luxurious knight's mansion, they were immediately fascinated by the decorations and utensils here, and the barbarians frantically swept the knight's mansion, tearing down the curtains and packing all the gold and silver utensils together, and when they were now the servants of the knight and more than 1oo female slaves, the barbarians went to ask Zhang Huen, Zhang Huen came to see the shivering knight, and told him to rest assured, we are here to do business, and we have bought your slave girls and servants, just 1 gold su, oh, by the way, It just so happens that all the gold and su you treasure are here, so let people count the money to him.
The sacked North Fort was now cleaner than a bald man's head, except for a few civilian houses that had not been cleaned, and only a lone Sir Weidmann and a few merchants who refused to leave, stood in the empty castle in single clothes, and watched the barbarian army go away, and Weidmann burst into tears.
"Sir, we should go to Neverwinter right now, or the next time they come, they won't want money, but your life!"
"Yes, I'm going to Neverwinter, I'm going to sue!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
From north to south, the Black Construction Committee pushed fields, farms, cherry orchards, vineyards, wineries, gold, silver and copper mines, thirteen small forts, and five villages and towns like bulldozers, and transported a large number of grain and materials into the far north of the country, and a large number of refugees poured into Neverwinter.
On the first day, the people under Neverwinter wanted to suppress it, some of the rogues were just like the army pressing, and the next day, they couldn't stand it, more and more refugees crowded outside Neverwinter City and were about to block the city gate, they had to report level by level, when they reported to Kaifeng University, they were pressed for another day, Kaifeng University ordered the city guard to explore the horses first, and on the third day, the information they got said that there were not as many people as the legend, and the bandits who were plundering the village detected by the horses were only a hundred people, There are no legendary giants at all. Tens of thousands of troops and so on.
So, Kaivon asked the 1ooo city guards to go in and suppress them, and on the fourth day, the 1ooo city guards only escaped back with 27 people, and all of them fled back almost bare-assed, in their words. The other party has already laid an ambush, just waiting for the city guards to send them to death, before the battle, the city guards were attacked by the Supu giants on both sides, after the commander was killed by a black hammer, the Supu giants killed this group of headless flies, and when the dead and wounded ** ten people, the city guards collapsed, and they captured the city guards. They had their horses confiscated, stripped of their equipment, typed a large IOU addressed to Scholar Kai Feng, and elaborated on the principles of the Black Construction Committee regarding the ransom of the captives.
Only then did Master Kaivon realize that the problem was troublesome, and he hurriedly took the white strip to meet the acting Duke, and after hearing this, Lu Bai was still there, and he was in a hurry to order the army to prepare to encircle and suppress this group of men who were going south to plunder, but his good friend, the Duke of Poncis's lone Sheen, went to dissuade him. Because the army of Northern Xinjiang is now divided in the southeast and southeast directions, on one side is the ambitious Duke of Ponsis (typical of the behavior of selling his father. In Sheen's personal opinion, he believed that making enemies of the powerful northern frontier was the most wrong strategic goal of Ponsi, so Sheen, who had been in Stark's house for ten years, gradually became a self-proclaimed northerner, completely forgetting the teachings of Duke Poncis and his people); On one side is the cunning Prin of the river, and 50,000 jackals sounds like a lot. However, it can be divided into a little in the east, a little in the south, and a little more in each of the territories under its jurisdiction, and there are actually only 13,000 people who can really defend Neverwinter.
Therefore, the marquis and earls of the Northland contributed to the construction of the Scholar of Kaifeng University. So the herald sent by the night went to the territory of the seven major families in the north to read out the decision of the acting duke, and gathered troops to encircle and suppress the barbarians.
Marquis Flint and Marquis Horwood responded immediately, sending 5ooo soldiers to report to Neverwinter, while the other Marquis Counts chose to be silent, but half a day later, Count Ruth of Ruby Bay came to Neverwinter with 10,000 blood troops uncharacteristically, declaring his allegiance to the acting duke, and his actions undoubtedly slapped the remaining princes hard, and in desperation, Marquis Cacionau, Count Mormont, Count Tauha, and Count Shivin could only come to Neverwinter with two or three thousand people each.
This delay has been delayed, and a full week has passed since the day Zhang Huen and them went south, but there are benefits, at least the acting duke has been affirmed by everyone, among which Earl Ruth has contributed the most, and it has also made the acting duke Lu Bai very grateful to him, and specially transferred his eldest son Joey to his side as a personal guard to show his closeness.
When the rebel leaders Spartacus, Alamos, and Yankes were pressed to the scene, Luber, who was already delirious, insulted them with urine in front of the nobles, causing everyone to laugh and continue to insult.
The three leaders of the rebel army, who had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, had basically lost their will, and Lu Bai lost interest in them, and ordered them to be taken down and temporarily imprisoned in the city lord's mansion, and when the army began to march tomorrow, he would kill the banner with blood.
When they were about to continue drinking until dawn, in the middle of the night a herald rushed into the city lord's palace in despair, and threw himself in front of Count Ruth, who asked with some surprise:
"What's the matter, such rude in front of the Duke?"
"Lord Earl, Ruby Bay, Ruby Bay has been attacked by barbarians!"
"What?"
A good feast turned into a farce again, Ruth immediately said goodbye to Lu Bai, who was already unconscious, and went back with the blood army, while the other nobles looked at his back with a gloating face, this earl of peeling, also today?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
When Zhang Huen successfully ran thousands of miles to Ruby Bay with 1ooo cavalry and 2o Supu giants, many viewers were puzzled, why did he know that Count Ruth had taken ninety percent of the blood army, and the rest were all wounded in the last war? Is it because of revenge?
Zhang Huen didn't say it, because the audience in the virtual cinema was truthfully reporting to him about the movement of troops of various families, and when he saw the news that Ruth had taken 10,000 people to courtize the new acting duke, he made up his mind to go to Ruby Bay, because he learned from other viewers that Ruby Bay still held nearly 70,000 Laklas slaves. And Ruth had hoarded enough food through the slave trade for three months to consume the people of the Far North for two to three years.
When the Supu giants appeared outside the walls of Ruby Bay, the blood army on the city wall did not even have time to prepare their bows and crossbows, and they were swept away by the giant swords of the giants and disappeared on the city wall, and the four giants pushed the city wall and smashed the city gate. Ruby Bay is not a small castle, a small village and town, there is a count living in it, and the city wall is also very strong, just when the giants were about to look around to find a suitable crashing wood, Zhang Huen's black hammer came out of his hand and smashed on the city wall, and huge cracks immediately appeared on the city wall.
"It's time to do it, Horn."
The total horn heard. He raised his giant sword and slashed at the city wall from top to bottom, and the tall wall cracked like a rain. The barbarians shouted out of the long live, and they all rushed in through the crack, and the large Ruby Bay immediately fell into a chaotic shouting of killing. White Face rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion with 5oo cavalry, and the remaining 5oo cavalry was led by Zhang Huen to rescue the slaves, while 2o Supu giants rushed to the port under the leadership of Brineta, and after eliminating the defenders of the port, they bolted the blood-colored ships one by one with an anchor. Each giant pulled 6 blood-colored ships along the coastline and walked north, and Zhang Huen was very kind. The Count was given 3o ships as a faΓ§ade (because the giants couldn't pull it), but the ballistas and catapults on them were removed and placed on other ships.
Zhang Huen and the 5oo knights quickly wiped out the thousand-man team guarding the slaves, this level of battle, Zhang Huen only needed
A hammer smashed to death the captain of the opposing side, a shield blinded the eyes of the soldiers of the thousand-man team, cavalry against infantry. There is basically no suspense anymore. When they released the slaves from the slave camp, Zhang Huen gave them two choices: first, when the laborers carried the riches of Ruby Bay to the far north, then he gave them freedom; 2. Death.
A cart of grain and grass, a cart of Jinsu. Truckloads of jewelry, as well as all kinds of furniture, weapons, seafood, dry goods, but everything of value in Ruby Bay was taken away by the slaves, they were like a group of efficient porters, because Zhang Huen agreed to take out 10% of the goods as their reward, so the slaves' affection was even more high, eager to pull down the land in Ruby Bay and move it away.
"Chairman, there's a girl who wants to see you."
"She said her name was purple or something, and she said she knew you."
"Oh, bring her in."
Zhang Huen swept the white face who was counting the supplies on the side, and the white face retreated behind the screen in the study of the City Lord's Mansion with a gloomy face, and a woman in a purple gauze robe walked in, when she took off the veil, who was not the countess Lupita? Today's Lupita is not as beautiful as it used to be, she described it as a little haggard, trembling and walking towards Zhang Huen, as far as possible to be quite moving, and said softly:
"Mencius, don't you know me, in fact, from the first time I saw you......"
"White face, this girl is at your disposal."
Zhang Huen walked behind the screen and put the bottle of mad magic potion hidden in the leather armor (handed to him by White Face when he faced the city builder in Ice City and was desperate) back into White Face's hand, and whispered:
"Ruth's wife must have been very wonderful on his face when he became an idiot."
"Of course, Commander, I can't wait!"
The white face walked out of the screen, although he was blind in one eye, wearing an eye patch, his body was stronger than the one he was two and a half months ago, his head was messy, and he was wearing a gray robe, but Lupita, who was waiting for Zhang Huen, still recognized him at a glance, and she hurriedly smiled and said:
"Wenders, I'm Lupita, and in a sense, I'm yours...... You...... What do you want...... Uh-huh-hmm......"
Wenders, who poured the potion of madness into her mouth, looked at Lupita, who was lying on the ground and slashing at her throat, and smiled:
"Remember, my name is White Face now, the white-faced member of the Black Construction Committee, I bought your brain, let me write an IOU to your husband in a while, and let him come to Heicheng to find me if he has the ability!"
The white face dropped Lupita, who had begun to tear the ground frantically, and walked out of the study, he came to the atrium, walked to Zhang Huen, who was looking at the moon, and said:
"No one thought that the world is impermanent, I have become a gray robe, and I have become a member of the Black Construction Committee, and you were still a dead and alive slave back then."
"Yes, Whiteface, where do you say Neverwinter usually keeps its slaves?"
"City Lord's Mansion...... You don't want to save your wife, do you? Now the whole city is on alert, but ...... Depending on your ability, you may or may not be able to succeed. β
"No, who knows, get people out along the coast, I'll try to drag Ruth's army on the way to Neverwinter."
"You're all right, right? Why don't I delay Ruth, after all, I was his son. β
"Don't fight, give me a good look at Brinita, I'm always worried that this guy is behind us."
"Okay, go early and come back early."
"Don't worry, go back and guard the Black Construction Committee, that is our foundation, and we can't shake it."
"Yes, Commander!" (To be continued......)
