Chapter Twenty-Five: The Restless Father and Son

There is little smoke, chickens and dogs bark, women are washing clothes and cooking, and children are playing in the open space.

It's more of a village than a cottage.

"You old boy can't be playing tricks, is it?

Facing Lu Xiaofei's questioning, the beard looked depressed, "We have lived here for generations, and this is our home." ”

"Stain Stain........ Feelings, you guys are really a den of thieves!" Alice nodded in surprise, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

"I'm curious, since you have been thieves for generations, why do you have yellow faces and thin muscles, and your life doesn't seem to be rich. Lu Xiaofei noticed at the beginning that the women and children in the village, although they were in good spirits, they all had vegetables, and they didn't look like they could eat big fish and meat, and they were obviously very poor.

After listening to the explanation of the bearded man, Lu Xiaofei could be regarded as having a new understanding of the Agurts continent.

It is true that the village is a den of thieves, but it also has a name, Yashan Village.

The people here have lived by robbery for generations, and when there is business, they are robbers who kill people without blinking, and when they are not trading, they are simple mountain people, still living a leisurely life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

It stands to reason that their little life should be very leisurely and happy.

However, this is not the case with this life, which is not what they want, but forced.

On the surface, these mountain people are not under anyone's control, but in reality they are nothing more than tools for the nobles to accumulate wealth, and it is the greedy nobles who have forcibly turned them into robbers who kill people without blinking.

In short, the villagers of Yashan Village worked for the Kang family, specializing in robbing caravans that did not pay toll taxes to the lords, and the revenge received was so small that it was difficult to make ends meet.

Kang family?

Isn't it the Marquis's Palace?

The answer is no, the Kang family who served in Yashan Village was indeed the Marquis' Mansion, but it was the Earl of Conway in the second room of the Marquis's Mansion, the lord of nearby Maple Leaf City, and the second in line to the throne of Kang Ling.

In short, this Conway is the younger brother of the Dead Ghost Marquis Kang Wu, the Earl of Maple Leaf City, if the Marquis of Emel has no husband or heirs, then in the future, the Marquis title and the entire Kang family territory will be inherited by Conway or his heirs.

There is no doubt that Emile has no husband, no one dares to marry her, and she also has no children, and if there is no accident, Conway will inherit everything from the Kang family in the near future.

In fact, Conway's approach was very common in aristocratic circles on the continent of Agurts, and its purpose was to satisfy their greedy hearts.

Lu Xiaofei did pass through Maple Leaf City, but he did not enter the city, so naturally he would not pay the so-called toll tax, and no one collected taxes from them. Perhaps, the toll tax could not satisfy Conwy's greed at all, and his purpose was to plunder all the wealth of the merchants!

Although the truth is very unexpected, Lu Xiaofei still got a considerable amount of wealth, a few days ago Yashan villagers just robbed a caravan that had just sold the goods in Cannes, and robbed a box of gold coins and several large boxes of silver and copper coins, and they had not yet had time to hand them over.

Lu Xiaofei is principle is that if you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of the bastard, and the money will naturally belong to him.

But he could also imagine that if the villagers of Yashan could not hand over the proceeds of the looting, the fate would be extremely miserable. Anyway, there is a shortage of people in Lujia Village, and there are dozens of people in it, so they simply don't do anything, and they all pack up and take them back to the village.

Of course, Lu Xiaofei's kindness fell in the eyes of Alice and Lu Shuangshuang, so he changed his meaning, thinking that the purpose of his doing this was actually just for someone to push the cart.

Because the villagers of Yashan Village were familiar with the road, they quickly cleared the rocks in the col to create a road that could cross the convoy, but because most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, Lu Xiaofei was worried that he would be discovered prematurely by Conway, so after passing the convoy, he sealed the col and directly cut off the road for the pursuers.

Of course, most of the Yashan villagers didn't have a good face for Lu Xiaofei, because their man was dead and his backbone was gone.

But Lu Xiaofei doesn't care at all, anyway, there are many single men in Lujia Village, and marrying a daughter-in-law also picks up a ready-made child by the way, where can I find this good thing?

..............

"How's the harvest going for the untouchables?"

In the lavish stone hall, a balding old man in gorgeous clothes asked the young black-armored knight kneeling at his feet.

"Back to my lords, the ambush was full of their corpses, and all the women and children in the village were gone, including the treasures of the adults. The young knight replied.

"Waste, stupid, idiot........." The bald old man suddenly became furious, kicked the young knight away, got up and shouted, "These untouchables dare to take what belongs to me, have they forgotten that I will be the true master of Kangling?"

It turned out that this bald old man was Conway, the lord of Maple Leaf City.

"My lord, my subordinates have already asked the driver who is driving the car, this time the target is a convoy called Lujia Village in Hexi Town, the leader seems to be their village chief, and it is said that the goods on the car are all for winter hunting........

Before the young man finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Conway, "Which leader does Hexi Town belong to?"

"Count Evans of Mikawa Castle. The young knight replied.

"What stubborn old thing?" muttered Conway, continued, "go and tell the vassals of Hexi that if he wishes to be loyal to me, take back my treasure and the heads of all the people of this caravan." ”

"Over the Earl of Evans?"

"Fool, that old bastard is loyal to Emile, do you think he'll help us when he finds out?"

With Conwy's roar, the young knight ran out of the hall as if fleeing.

"Dad, I heard that little slut of Emile went to see Count Deng Hongsheng of Fort Conn, I don't know ........"

After the young knight left, a blond young man dressed in bells and whistles came out of it and stood behind Conway and said.

"Hmph. ”

Kang Wei snorted coldly and said jokingly: "Now most of the nobles in the territory support me to inherit the throne, and even Your Majesty is affected, she wants to turn things around with a broom star, let's marry herself first!"

"If the little slut really marries someone else, I'm a little reluctant, or I'm ........"

Before the young man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kangwei's strange smile, "The women of the Kang family, it's better to stay in the backyard of the Kang family, as long as I inherit the throne smoothly, will the little slut still run away........?"

The father-son's smiles resounded throughout the hall, completely forgetting that Emile was their niece and cousin.

............

After several days of arduous trekking, Lu Xiaofei and his party finally crossed the creek across both banks with the convoy and arrived at Lujia Village.

The old village of Lujia Village has not changed, it is still the same, the new village on the north slope has basically entered the end after ten days of construction, as long as the wind is passed for a few days, and the new house is dried, the villagers can officially move in.

Because of the previous trap, in the small half month that Lu Xiaofei was away, the bamboo rat attacked again, and the result was that the meat buns and dogs never returned, sending a large amount of meat rations to the villagers, which also temporarily alleviated the crisis of meat shortage in the village.
