Although Nan Ruohuai is a concubine, he is an adult prince after all, and he has some private property of his own, although it is pitiful. On Zheng Waidao, he owns a small manor, adjacent to a small town of thousands of people, which is quite convenient.

The manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the main house is built on the hillside, and below is a patch of farmland, and several small villages are scattered, creating a beautiful and quiet rural scenery. Climb the mountain and look into the distance, when it is clear, you can see the panoramic view of the town in the distance, and a fairly smooth loess road winds between the town and the manor.

It's late summer, and the climate is hot, but the hot wind blows across the river, bringing a hint of coolness. At noon, when the sun is at its most poisonous, it is not so sad to lie down in the shade under the tree.

This has been the case for many years, and it hasn't changed for a long time. Even if it is a battle for the throne, it is also a matter of the royal capital, and the royal capital is separated from here by a vast void, I am afraid that there are not 108,000 miles. For those who have finally worked in the fields, not to mention the world on the other side of the void, the farthest place many people have been in this life is a small town.

But the silence was finally broken, and a low roar came from the air, and shadows swept across the land. The peasants looked up in amazement, watching the behemoths fly by overhead, not even knowing that the hoe had fallen to the ground.

A moment later, the whole town was in a stir, and everyone walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky, stunned. Anyone with a bit of knowledge knows about floatboats, but these are very different from the ships they know bring passengers and cargo from the mainland. In particular, the Imperial War Cruiser, which sailed on the highest place, was simply a small town that could fly.

The unprecedented scene will shock people for a long time. After a while, it was not until the fleet came to the top of the manor and began to land one after another that the mayor suddenly realized and exclaimed, "That's the royal family's property!"

He didn't even have time to drive the car, let alone take care of his bulky body, so he jumped up, relied on the third-level Force cultivation, and rushed towards the manor.

After all, this is the territory of the royal family, the manor is not big, and the infrastructure is complete. An open space next to the main house is the landing field for floating boats. However, the area was too small, and the three frigates were already crowded as soon as they fell, and the rest of the transports could only go to the side, looking for suitable places for landing and temporary parking in places such as the slopes behind Zhuanghou.

After the hatch of a frigate opened, Nan Ruohuai disembarked first, and then waited respectfully beside him. Qianye appeared at the hatch, first looked around, and then walked down the stairs and said to Nan Ruohuai: "The place is not bad. ”

Nan Ruohuai said: "This is given by my father, the environment and area are superior, but the location is a little remote." If it weren't for this far away, I wouldn't be entitled to such a fief. ”

At this moment, a bald fat man from a distance rushed to him, and shouted from afar, "Your Highness, but are you?"

Nan Ruohuai waved his hand at the man, and then said to Qianye: "This is the mayor of Jishui Town, who has always been very helpful. ”

When the mayor ran in front of him, he was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked. He first saluted Nan Ruohuai, and then obviously found that Qianye was the head of everyone, so he looked at Qianye and asked carefully: "Your Highness, this is ......?"

Nan Ruohuai said: "This Lord Zhao is my distant uncle in terms of seniority. He has been wandering outside for many years and has never returned to Zheng Guo. Now my uncle is homesick and wants to come back. When I got the news, I went to greet me, and before I returned home, I came here to settle down. ”

Nan Ruohuai spoke very fluently, and Qianye was speechless.

Since childhood, he has been wandering outside and returning to China to save his relatives, which is an identity that has been prepared for a long time. It's just that according to the original design, in terms of seniority, Qianye is Nan Ruohuai's cousin. If you really want to say that according to age, Nan Ruohuai is a little older than Qianye, but how dare he let Qianye call him brother. Who knew that at this moment, Nan Ruohuai's words came to his mouth, and his cousin became an uncle.

The mayor looked at the floating battleship that had landed, his face became more and more pale, and the sweat on his forehead was even more, and he couldn't wipe it clean.

Qianye suddenly smiled and said, "How about my warships?"

The mayor stammered, "Naturally, nature is excellent. This is the ...... of the Empire"

He stopped urgently, and Qianye smiled slightly, "You also recognize this as Daqin's battleship." ”

The mayor didn't dare to speak this time, just nodded. Qianye looked back at the frigate, and then looked up at the battle patrol hovering in the air, still unable to find a place to land, and said with a smile: "These are all Great Qin warships, of course, the models are relatively new, and it is normal for someone to recognize them." ”

After all, Zheng Guo is a nominal subject of the empire, and many times for military equipment, he will also send troops and send strong people to participate in the war, so many people can recognize the imperial equipment.

The mayor of the town was sweating even more, and he knew a little bit about what the Empire's new model battleship meant. At this time, a transport ship finally found a gap, landed not far away, and out of the ship came a group of fighters armed to the teeth.

Although they were marked by mercenaries, the mayor felt that he was not stupid, and the whole team was uniformly equipped, with the same style of armor and obvious ranks. In addition, this team of people has an extraordinary aura, and I am afraid that the Force cultivation is all higher than themselves.

How can there be such a mercenary?

The mayor looked at Qianye, and then looked at Nan Ruohuai, and he already knew it in his heart.

Seeing this, Qianye smiled and said, "This manor looks a little small, I'm afraid I still have to live in the town." Come here, go back with the mayor and make arrangements. Be careful not to hurt anyone. ”

The two mercenary leaders came over, sandwiched the mayor between the left and the right, picked him up like an eagle carrying a chicken, and said with a cruel smile: "My lord said, don't let us use too much force." Let's go, let's get things done first. ”

The other leader turned around and shouted, "Fifty men, line up and follow!"

The mayor of the town was already full of despair, not to mention fifty of these murderers, even ten were enough to wipe out his poor town guards, and there would be no casualties among himself.

Nan Ruohuai hurriedly said: "I'll go and have a look." ”

"It's fine. Chiya nodded.

A moment later, Chiya was in the mayor's office, seated in his large, comfortable leather chair. The office decoration is retro, luxurious and rough, and there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which should be fakes.

Nan Ruohuai and the mayor stood on both sides, one respectful and the other nervous, and there was a middle-aged man sitting at the desk, who was even more at a loss, sweating all over his body.

Qianye held the roster in his hand, glanced at it, and said, "In such a small place, there are actually one hundred and fifty town guards, can you afford it?"

There are only a few thousand people in Jishui Town, where can we afford to raise 150 full-time town soldiers? Moreover, the town is remote and quiet, and there is no chaos nearby, and the biggest danger on weekdays may be fierce beasts and homeless people, and there is no need for so many people to protect the safety.

The middle-aged man at the table is the captain of the town guard, and he also has two levels of Force cultivation. In the town, it was also a character, but in front of Qianye, he couldn't even speak. He couldn't see Qianye's strength at all, but fear arose spontaneously, and he couldn't suppress it.

Hearing this, the captain had to look at the mayor. The mayor of the town scolded secretly in his heart, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, the expansion of the town guard is also to deal with possible chaos. At present, there are only so many posts, and the number of people has not yet been filled, so I am also taking precautions. ”

Qianye realized at this time, and shook her head with a smile, "It turned out to be an empty quota, but I didn't expect it for a while." ”

He put the roster aside, the smile on his face faded, and said lightly: "Both of you are smart people, and there are some things that you should know without saying." Now take out the map and information of the floating islands, and take as many as you want. ”

The mayor secretly glanced at Nan Ruohuai, and saw that the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he couldn't see what was on his mind at all, so he understood immediately. He turned his heart sideways, got up and went into the back room, and after a while, he took out a stack of materials and put them in front of Qianye.

Qianye first picked up the atlas, flipped through the pages one by one, and then compared it with the information.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was about to fall into the distance, and it was only before a thousand nights looked up and pondered silently.

Nan Ruohuai, the town mayor and the town guard captain all waited with bated breath, and they didn't even dare to take a breath. After a while, Qianye Fang looked up and said, "This place is really good. Ruohuai, in my opinion, make this your first fiefdom. ”

Nan Ruohuai was stunned, isn't his fiefdom manor on this island? He thought about it for a while, and then he understood, and at the moment he was ecstatic in his heart, bowed deeply, and said, "Uncle Xie!"

Qianye was helpless, so she could only pinch her nose and recognize this generation. He waved his hand for the mayor and captain to withdraw, called in Song Lun and several generals with him, and circulated the atlas to everyone.

The area of this floating island is not small, it is already equivalent to half a small county of the empire, but it is the farthest away from the mainland of Yonglu, the transportation is inconvenient, and the edge of the floating island is close to the protective layer of the landmass, the climate is also unstable, and natural disasters are frequent, so it is impossible to live in people. The entire floating island is habitable in the western half and uninhabited in the eastern half.

However, it is precisely because of its proximity to the edge of the continental reserve that it is constantly washed by the Void Force, so the eastern half of the floating island is rich in minerals, and rare ores can be seen from time to time. It's just that the mining area over there can only mine for one or two months a year, and the rest of the time it is idle because of the harsh environment.

But the so-called harsh environment here is not a problem at all for people in neutral places, at most they feel a little uncomfortable after staying for a long time. Judging from the historical meteorological data here, most of the year, it is called calm by the standards of a neutral place, and only when you encounter a void storm do you need to take shelter.

The population of the floating islands is only a few hundred thousand, and because of the inconvenient transportation to the outside world, they are basically self-sufficient. In the eyes of Qianye, this is just a good base and springboard. The distance from Zheng Guo's homeland is a natural barrier, and for Qianye, who holds Valhalla, the void is not a problem at all, but it gives him the advantage of attacking, retreating, and defending.

Located on the west coast of the floating island, Far Frontier City, the largest city on the floating island, is the most stable area in the outer space of the entire floating island, and is also the largest transit point for land exchanges. The only small fleet on the floating islands is stationed there.

There were more than ten floating ships in the compilation list of that fleet, which looked quite bluffing at first glance, but after the generals looked at the specific model parameters, they couldn't help laughing. How can those airships be called battleships, gunboats are all lifted, basically ordinary floating boats with small cannons, even if they are battleships.

One of the captains patted his chest and said loudly: "My lord, give me two frigates, and I will go and destroy them!"

The other general glared, "Two more frigates are needed to deal with these miscellaneous fish, just give me one." ”

"Let me go, just get an armed transport ship!"

"Lao Tzu doesn't even need a transport ship!"

Seeing that these generals were becoming more and more disagreeable, Qianye had to knock on the table to silence them.
