Chapter 33, troubled times are coming!
The ambitious Liu Wenfeng was poured cold water, and the first requirement for forming an armed force was soldiers, and Liu Wenfeng naturally put the first batch of soldiers in the nearby Linhai Village, but as soon as he proposed to recruit young men to become the guards of his castle, the head of Puzhuang Village shook his head like a rattle: "Sorry lord, we are an autonomous village, no one will want to serve you." ”
"Well, I'm paid a lot of money, and I'm fully equipped, and the benefits are good, and I'm not buying people to be cannon fodder, I'm just recruiting them, can't I?" Liu Wenfeng said without giving up.
"I'm sorry my lord, our autonomous village will only work hard to protect our village and people, even the lord is not worth our life." The head of Puzhuang Village is very unkind, it is simply equivalent to saying that the lord is not worth our life, why is it worth our life if you are just a rich lost dog.
Although everyone knows that Liu Wenfeng is rich and thinks that he is a nobleman, but because Liu Wenfeng has no aristocratic rank at all, everyone thinks that he does not dare to expose it, and he went to this remote place to build a castle, combined with the fact that the emperor is occupied by the Heiyao Empire, it is concluded that Liu Wenfeng is a lost dog in the imperial capital who has lost his family, so although everyone is an honorific title for Liu Wenfeng for the sake of money, they secretly curse the lost dog with jealousy.
Liu Wenfeng, who didn't know these details, naturally understood Pu Zhuang's words, although he was angry, he also felt strange, when did he offend this village? is so faceless, doesn't he know that Lao Tzu is a level 4 ability? However, Liu Wenfeng did not show his strength, but said with a smile: "The young man of the village has become my guard, and the safety of the village is naturally the responsibility of Qingyan Castle." ”
"Hmph, we are an autonomous village, an autonomous village that does not need to rely on others, and the safety of the village is naturally protected by our youth. My lord, I still have something to do, and I'm out of company. As he spoke, he ignored Liu Wenfeng, whose face was blue and white, and left by himself.
Liu Wenfeng's nostrils spewed out two rough breaths, and he secretly scolded himself: "Damn, it will be a troubled time soon, Lao Tzu will see how long your young and strong village of only a few dozen people can support!" Don't ask for a place to me! Don't let Lao Tzu make you vomit blood in distress! ”
Liu Wenfeng returned to the castle angrily, looked at the castle that seemed empty, and couldn't help sighing, deducting 7 of his own people and a little black, counting the housekeeper, the cook and the gardener, there were only about 20 people in the entire castle, of which there were only 10 young and strong male servants! Do you want to convert these 10 people into guards?
Liu Wenfeng shook his head and dispelled this idea, because first, they belonged to hired servants, and it was a breach of contract to change them to guards, and second, even if they were willing, they were unwilling, because they were all guys who were not very good physique, and those with good physique were either trained as samurai or private soldiers of other nobles, where would they go to be servants.
Can you only recruit mercenaries? Although I'm not afraid that they will be anti-guest-oriented, but it's not that my own weapons are uncomfortable to use, forget it, it's better to dress up Liu Jinglan as a female knight, although her ability is only the appearance of a level 2 samurai, but as a robot, she should be a level 3 or even a level 4 samurai when she fights, and after getting the samurai cultivation cheats, Liu Jingmei, a level 1 samurai, can't be promoted to a level 2 samurai, but it seems that Liu Jingmei's wish is to have special abilities, right? I don't know if I can cultivate at the same time.
Liu Wenfeng, who thought of it, naturally asked Liu Jinglan for advice, and Liu Jinglan, who had the qualifications set for combat soldiers from the factory, nodded and agreed without saying a word, as for Liu Jingmei, it is more suitable for her to stay in the castle and command the housekeeper to manage the castle.
Liu Jinglan put on a full set of knight armor that she had transformed by herself, it was really heroic, but although she was a robot and had a super learning ability, she still had to be taught by Liu Wenfeng step by step. In order to adapt to the battle of mounted cavalry, from the beginning of training, Liu Wenfeng and Liu Jinglan were equipped with equipment, that is, wearing overall armor from head to toe, a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and a saber on their waists, and the horses were also covered with iron scale armor from head to toe.
Of course, each of these mounted cavalry should have 4 cavalry attendants, but the number of excellent horses Liu Wenfeng naturally purchased nearly 100 horses, and the equipment that cost a lot of money is also complete, but there is no one!
Hongwenyan and others, who were originally busy with their own affairs, saw Liu Wenfeng teaching riding, so they naturally begged for a set of armor and asked Liu Jinglan to change their body, and immediately hulala, dressed neatly, ran out and began to learn to ride a horse. So the 7 mounted cavalry began to wander around Qingyan Fort, which naturally made the people of Qingyan Fort proud, and made those merchants who were busy transporting in order to fill the warehouse of Qingyan Fort look sideways, in such a small place, 7 mounted cavalry can attack the barony's territory, this rich nobleman who doesn't know what title seems to be not weak. Naturally, the news spread around the mouths of these merchants.
Liu Wenfeng, who did not recruit manpower, began to calmly exercise everyone's riding skills, yes, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that the troubled times would come soon, and when the time came, he would naturally have people cast his hands on the door, and when he had manpower, he could start playing the game of dominating the world.
After more than half a month, although Yan Bili and the others' riding skills are not very strong, but they can easily gallop in the sand, Yan Bili and them, who feel that they have learned high-level powerful things, gave up the training of intensive riding, and began to practice ability, before leaving, Yan Bili also specially reminded Liu Wenfeng: "Little brother, you play games to play games, but the exercise of ability must not be stopped, after all, ability is our foundation." ”
"The younger brother knows, thank you for the reminder." Liu Wenfeng nodded hurriedly, how did these eldest sisters know that they were playing with their lives, once they were exhausted, they immediately replenished it from the crystal ball, and when the crystal ball was exhausted, they immediately replenished the crystal ball, and the crystal ball was filled and exhausted with all their strength, these days, although the total amount of their abilities is still hovering between millions, but the speed of casting abilities and the speed of replenishing energy have been greatly improved, but unfortunately such a cultivation method can't be said, although I feel a little sorry for these sisters who care for themselves, But everyone has a secret, doesn't they? If you don't want the friendship to go bad, you can still not say it.
Everyone returned to their original state, and the cavalry swaying outside the castle was left Liu Wenfeng and Liu Jinglan, who were accustomed to the number of cavalry at this time, including the merchants who came.
On this day, Liu Wenfeng just took Liu Jinglan to do a sprint training, and when he dismounted to let the war horse rest, he couldn't help but look up at the sky and muttered: "Strange, how did you agree that the caravan that arrived at this time didn't come?" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, more than a dozen carriages drove into the gate of the wooden wall, and when he saw the appearance of the escorts, Liu Wenfeng couldn't help but be stunned, because most of the number of people was less, and each of them was injured, obviously fighting for a while.
Liu Wenfeng hurriedly found the person in charge of this caravan and asked, "What's the matter?" Attacked? ”
"Yes, my lord, we were attacked by a group of strong men of more than 100 people near Pangshi Village, if it weren't for the fact that our guards were all strong and accompanied by 3 samurai, I'm afraid that the supplies would have been looted this time, but even so, we lost half of our manpower in battle, and even the samurai also killed 1. So my lord, now the world is uneven, this delivery is a big loss, fortunately it is also the last batch, if the price is not raised, we can not renew the contract. The person in charge said a little unlucky, half of the people died, plus the pension of 1 samurai, all the money earned this time was lost and it had to be posted upside down, it was really a loss!
Liu Wenfeng's heart jumped, originally there were thieves in this very quiet countryside, and I am afraid that the bandits in the other prosperous roads are one mountain after another, and the world is beginning to be in turmoil.
Thinking that he still needs a caravan, because he has no output here, he will be trapped without a caravan, and he will also go to Qingshi Town to inquire about information, so it is better to sell favors.
Liu Wenfeng, who had a plan, said to the person in charge of the caravan: "The world is in chaos, it is natural to increase the price, anyway, I will go to the town to renew the contract with your boss, and by the way, I will be with you." ”
"Ah, thank you so much, with an adult escort, we must be very safe on the way back." The person in charge is also a well-informed fellow, knowing that he can take on the responsibility of an armored knight, and at worst a first-class samurai, this nobleman in front of him can increase the strength of the caravan even if he travels alone, not to mention that it is impossible for him to travel alone.
After the materials were transported, Liu Wenfeng said hello to the people who stayed at home, took Liu Jinglan, wearing only the light riding equipment of knight armor, and each took an extra empty horse to follow the caravan away. Of course, in order to avoid trouble, Liu Jinglan wore a helmet that covered her face, and her appearance could not be seen at all.
But this time, I don't know if I saw the presence of cavalry or the caravan was out of stock, until Qingshi Town, the thieves did not appear, but Liu Wenfeng still checked the scene of the fight, the corpses of the caravan had already been collected and burned into ashes, and the corpses of the thieves were directly violent corpses in the wilderness, looking at the appearance of these thieves are civilians living in difficulty, but can civilians kill low-level warriors? There should be a mid-level samurai among these thieves.
Because Liu Wenfeng, who regarded this scene as a game, couldn't help but think darkly: "Hehe, it's better that there are more warriors for this thief, and then go around looting the village, so that there will always be young people who have escaped who will take refuge in Lao Tzu, and when Lao Tzu's manpower reaches a certain point, kill this gang of thieves like chickens, shock this area, and merge the village persecuted by thieves into Qingyan Fort, hehe, so that Lao Tzu will have a piece of territory!" Thieves, you have to work hard for Lao Tzu! "It's not that Liu Wenfeng looks down on the samurai, but because the samurai of the same level are not the opponents of the supernatural at all, as for the samurai above level 7, hehe, that is the Martial Sect, the 8th level is the Martial Saint, and the 9th level is the Martial God, how can such a character appear in this remote place.
Entering Qingshi Town, Liu Wenfeng suddenly felt that the atmosphere here was tense, and the town's guards came to ask Liu Wenfeng's identity as soon as possible, and only after learning Liu Wenfeng's identity did he leave in frustration. Liu Wenfeng was confused, and the person in charge explained with a smile: "My lord, they think you are freelancers who have wandered here, so they want to recruit you into the escort team. ”
"What? Is the situation so urgent that war is about to break out? Liu Wenfeng asked excitedly.
The person in charge sighed and said: "Alas, Viscount Witt of the nearby Mountain Rock Town asked Viscount Oude of this town to lead the baron himself and submit to him, this kind of thing Viscount Oude is naturally unwilling, so the two territories are now ready for battle, and it is said that eighty percent of the thieves who are rampant in Viscount Oude's territory may have been sent by Viscount Witt to disrupt the rear, in order to make Qingshi Town miss the spring ploughing." ”
"What is the ratio of forces between the two sides? It's not going to be a secret, is it? Liu Wenfeng asked cautiously.
"Hey, what's the secret, the two towns are separated by more than ten miles, and you can't hide any secrets, there are 500 soldiers on the side of Lord Oude, 30 samurai, 600 soldiers on Lord Werther's side, and 25 samurai, both sides have exhausted their manpower, if they fight head-on, it will be a defeat for both sides, but the Werther Lord takes the initiative to use the thief's next three indiscriminate methods, then the outcome is unknown."
"Well, a war with less than 1,200 men combined? The fighting between the two villages is even more ruthless than this! Liu Wenfeng was a little stunned, according to the memory of his hometown in his mind, the war between two village-level units was a big melee of thousands of people, isn't this people's war the same as acting?
"Wait, how can a dignified viscount have such a small number of troops? I remember that there were thousands of guards in an earl's palace in the imperial capital, not to mention the private soldiers in this earldom. Liu Wenfeng suddenly remembered something and asked again.
The person in charge glanced at Liu Wenfeng, smiled, and then whispered: "My lord, this noble title is the same, it does not mean that the size of the territory is also the same, the size of the territory is the same, and the degree of wealth is not the same, secretly tell you that there is only one town and three villages in the territory directly led by these two viscounts, if you really want to talk about it, it is not as good as a strong lord, it is just a little higher than the canonization of knights!" Don't you see that the armies of the two viscounts have no knightly class? ”
"Why is this happening? According to the regulations, the viscount's territory is at least tens of thousands of square kilometers in size, right? Liu Wenfeng asked.
The person in charge smiled: "Hehe, that's just in name, who called this rural nobleman weak authority, most of the villages are self-governed, just give a sum of grain and grass every year to complete the obligation to the lord, and it is impossible to recruit a soldier." ”
"Hey, understood." Liu Wenfeng nodded suddenly, no wonder the more remote the nobles, the weaker they are, the dare is to make trouble in autonomous villages, think about a dignified viscount, a large area of nominal territory, and only a little bit of what really belongs to him can know how rampant these autonomous villages are.
Liu Wenfeng is talking about the autonomous village here, and the head of Puzhuang Village in Haibin Village also talks about Liu Wenfeng with the three village elders.
"Great Elder, the young and strong people in the village are all seduced by the beauties of Qingyan Castle, if they are not dredged, I am afraid that they will either rob the women of other villages or attack Qingyan Fort!" Pu Zhuang said helplessly.
"It's said that it's the beauty of Qingyan Castle, I think you have taken a fancy to the wealth of Qingyan Castle, right? Hum! Storming Qingyan Fort? A bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die! Don't they know that Lord Liu Wenfeng is a magician? The Great Elder snorted coldly.
Pu Zhuang's helpless expression disappeared immediately, and he was replaced with a shrewd demeanor: "Great Elder, isn't Liu Wenfeng just a person, how strong can he be as a teenager?" I haven't seen him practice magic, he must be a level 2 magician, such a person, as long as we ambush with bows and arrows, killing a low-level magician is not as easy as killing a chicken? ”
"Puzhuang, don't forget, Qingyan Fort is not just Liu Wenfeng." The second elder said aloud.
Pu Zhuang said disdainfully: "I know, isn't there a knight who looks like a girl, looking at that guy's weak appearance, it's a level 3 warrior, and he can still be ambushed with a bow and arrow!" ”
"No, don't forget that there are 5 other Mounted Knights!" The third elder said solemnly.
Pu Zhuang sneered and said, "Third Elder, I know about that, there is a lot of rumors outside, don't our neighbors know the details of Liu Wenfeng?" I heard from the servants of Qingyan Castle that those 5 knights in armor are actually those 5 beauties, Liu Wenfeng is a trick to tell outsiders that there are a total of 7 knights in his castle, in fact, as long as you know the personnel structure in his castle, you will understand that this is impossible! ”
The third elder's face was slightly red, and he coughed a little embarrassedly and didn't say anything, the people here didn't think that those five delicate beauties could wear armor that weighed dozens of kilograms.
Pu Zhuang laughed at this, and suddenly smiled a little: "Except for these two *** in Qingyan Castle, the others are all super beauties who are charming and beautiful, and the three elders also want their grandchildren to marry such a wife, right?" I'm really looking for one. Speaking of this, Pu Zhuang added his tongue with a lustful light.
Originally, Puzhuang was just the wealth of Liu Wenfeng, but at the banquet to celebrate the success of the castle, after seeing the 5 beautiful women with gorgeous faces and charming demeanor, his heart was occupied by greed, why does a little kid have so many noble beauties and such a huge wealth?
Moreover, Puzhuang had already seen the same greedy look in the eyes of the merchants and magicians who attended the banquet, and knew that if he didn't start early, let alone drink soup, he was afraid that his village would be wiped out by those guys! It was because Liu Wenfeng was regarded as a dead man after the Puzhuang banquet, so he so bluntly rejected Liu Wenfeng's request to recruit soldiers.
Speaking of this, the experienced Pu Zhuang clearly saw that the three elders were a little moved, and couldn't help but increase their efforts: "And after obtaining Qingyan Fort, we can move the whole clan in, and then it will definitely be a hundred times stronger than staying in this unsheltered and broken village, you must know that our children and grandchildren will live in such a magnificent castle, without worrying about food and clothing, and live a life like a nobleman!" ”
The well-being of all the clansmen and the benefits that fell on their own families at the same time finally moved the three elders, the three old guys looked at each other, nodded, and the eldest elder said loudly: "Since it is for the sake of our whole clan, then our three elders allow you to use the young and strong people and weapons of the clan, Puzhuang, for the happiness of our whole clan, do you have a perfect plan?" ”
Pu Zhuang, who had the right to transfer troops and the right to Hyogo, immediately said excitedly: "I have already sent someone to monitor Liu Wenfeng, that guy took a squire to follow the caravan to the town, it is estimated that there will be two people when he comes back, we can ambush them halfway, and then wear his armor to lure out that sissy, as long as that sissy is also killed, Qingyan Fort will be my clan's!" ”
"Good! Go ahead and do it! We are finally expected to see the glory of our people's rejuvenation before we die! Hahaha! The three elders and Pu Zhuang both laughed, they didn't think that they couldn't get the castle after solving Liu Wenfeng and that sissy, could it be that the manservant with only 10 could block his dozens of young Zhuang people? One hand can pinch to death those weak men who only know how to serve people!
When the minds of the seaside village were concerned about lewdness, Liu Wenfeng had already renewed or changed the contracts with several shops, anyway, so that they could take the risk of thieves to deliver goods to themselves. Just when Liu Wenfeng was about to go to the tavern to inquire about the information, the bronze bell on the town wall suddenly rang, and after a period of chaos in the street, the crowd on the street quickly disappeared, and they all hid home, only Liu Wenfeng and Liu Jinglan stayed on the street in a daze, watching the heavily armed town soldiers rush onto the town wall.
"Enemy attack? Do you want to participate? Seeing this scene, Liu Wenfeng began to think about it, since he was promoted to level 4, Liu Wenfeng has been a little confident, of course, once the other party is stronger than himself, he will naturally slip away without saying a word, in the end, Liu Wenfeng is still a ruffian.
At this time, a samurai who was about level 2 suddenly ran over, and after a military salute with a fist against his chest, he said respectfully: "Lord Liu Wenfeng, Lord Lord asks if you are willing to participate in the battle to defend Bluestone Town, and if you are willing, Lord Lord is willing to pay for your merits with land." ”
"Using land as a reward for meritorious service? Hehe, I like it, please return to the lord, I will show him credit for the merit of enough to exchange the baron's land. Liu Wenfeng shouted excitedly.
The warrior was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he was a little suspicious that the guy in front of him who was rumored to have a fever with a lot of money was not in his right head, and he actually wanted to exchange his merits for the land of the baron's title? Do you know how big the Baron's land is? How much merit does it take to get it? However, seeing that Liu Wenfeng was just excited, and did not lose his mind or arrogance, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before nodding and going back to report.
Liu Wenfeng almost wanted to open his hand and laugh wildly at the sky, but he didn't expect that he would be on the game of dominating the world like this, he was so excited that he couldn't bear it!
