Book 752 The Land of the Free

The hundred tongues were recognized. As the eldest daughter of the duke, a young woman who once had supreme power in the Sword Plain, there is almost no reason that the local men do not know.

Duke Heiyu's family has very good genetics, their family is not too particular about marrying the right family, no matter whether the one who inherits the duke's title is a man or a woman, they don't care very much about their spouse status, as long as they are beautiful enough.

It's human nature to like people with good looks. To be able to welcome such a person with only good looks into the Duke's Palace, it takes some courage.

Over the years, genetic optimization has made most of the people in this family quite beautiful, and it has always been a place of pride for the residents of Sunshine City, who always like to compare their duke's heroic appearance with the obese appearance of other dukes and earls.

As the eldest daughter of the duke, many people in Sunshine City have seen her. Her face is not yet a household name, but certain classes of people are more familiar, such as soldiers.

got a box of gold from Zhou Shu, and Baiyu was also going to use the money to do something. Before that, she needed to understand what happened to Sunlight City and the Plains of the Sword Blade, and she needed to take a closer look.

In order to ensure that she was safe enough during the investigation, she was going to call some guards to go out with her, and the one who knew the current situation in the city best was naturally the top commander of the occupation army here. Just as she was about to endure the humiliation of taking the initiative to contact the enemy general to find him, her identity as the eldest daughter of the duchess was recognized by a small soldier.

Baiyu stared at the mouthy soldier in front of him with some anger, if it weren't for the fact that this guy's arms were thicker than his waist, Baiyu would have the heart to stab this guy to death with a sword.

Some things can't be hidden for too long, and Baiyu didn't plan to hide his identity, which was a very disrespectful thing to the family. She had reaped enough humiliation, and the family glory had to be preserved. You can't let yourself be a wretched creature who doesn't even dare to show her name.

After Xiao Bing asked, he immediately felt that the situation was wrong, and he felt a murderous aura when he looked at the earl's assistant lady in front of him staring at him with a gloomy face.

The soldier was still quite sensitive to such a thing as hostility, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left, and ran directly to the barracks. I want to apply for a different job. As for Baiyu, she can only go to someone else to take her to the chief-

Zhou Shu walked to the west of the city alone.

He had wanted to put on the Eagle and Natty's and go and see the people of the city together. Everyone walked to the door of the two girls, and he inexplicably had a strong feeling, and the sixth sense told him that it seemed that it was possible to meet a cute girl when he went out this time.

This was the first time Zhou Shu had a premonition of this kind of thing, and he couldn't help frowning. This feeling is very strong, and it comes inexplicably, and the martial artist's internal organs obviously can't feel such a thing as marriage. So it made Zhou Shu wonder.

In order to confirm whether this feeling is really correct, he decides to go out on his own, so as not to be disturbed by Nati, a jealous guy.

This time, he disappeared for a whole day and a night-

Baiyu went to the barracks with a bag of money, ten guards, and three maids.

As soon as she arrived at the right place, she noticed a large number of people pointing at her. What do you say?

These people are all soldiers of the West Country, and they are the group of people she hates the most. As long as it is related to the Western character. She didn't like either, but she especially hated soldiers.

When the East and West were at war, when the Sword Plain was not considered the front line of the war, Hyakyu actually didn't hate the enemy country very much. She is a mature thinker, has the ability to think independently, and knows that war is a must for the country and the faith. There is no circumvention of it. The actual situation in the two countries is similar, and there is no obvious distinction between good and evil.

Before and after her captivity, the humiliation inflicted on her by the soldiers of Nishinokuni made her completely change her opinion. In her opinion, her own army is very disciplined, and the enemy army is full of hooligans and bastards. A beautiful woman who retains her chaste body during the escort of a long journey. Apparently not satisfied with the luck he had already received, he insisted that the enemy's army was home to the worst men in the world.

Baiyu has a huge prejudice against the soldiers of the West Country, and she will see these people talking about herself, and she also used the power given by Zhou Shu to fake the tiger power, and asked the guards to arrest one of them in front of her.

Zhou Shu, the hero of the army, is still very effective for this group of guards, he delegated all his rights to Baiyu, and the guards really regarded Baiyu as a hero himself, and decisively helped her arrest people.

Arresting soldiers in the barracks, this action made the gang of big-headed soldiers commotion, and many people surrounded them murderously. Fortunately, Baiyu didn't plan to make trouble, he just wanted to know why he was the focus of conversation.

Originally, the soldier squeaked and didn't want to say it, but after Baiyu moved out of Zhou Shu to scare him, the real situation was directly thrown out.

Just now, a small soldier came back from the earl's side and took the initiative to apply to be transferred from the earl's side.

Being able to serve by the earl's side is the dream of these soldiers. However, most of them were soldiers on the battlefield, not guards in front of the nobles, and the number of etiquette was basically equal to nothing, and there were not many people who were qualified for this job.

When the soldiers saw that some of the selected guards took the initiative to withdraw, they also couldn't understand it, so they ran to inquire about the situation. The guard didn't intend to hide it, saying that he was trying to hide from the Black Feather Patriarch's sword.

He feared that he would upset her by saying the wrong thing, so he wanted to transfer him away so that the Count would not be angry.

"The eldest daughter of the original owner of this Sword Plain is working for the Earl?"

After hearing the news, the soldiers also had their brains opened, and according to the yellow-colored stories they usually heard in the tavern, they made up a lot of information in their brains. This will see such a young and beautiful woman as Baiyu coming to the military camp, and naturally she can't control her mouth while feasting her eyes, and she chatters like a woman.

When Sword Blade heard that this was the reason, his heart was a little more steady. She didn't intend to hide her identity in the first place, but now that the soldiers know about it, let them chew their tongues indiscriminately. She couldn't control it, she didn't have the ability, so she had to go with the flow.

The officers of the garrison were found. Hyakyu asked a few questions, all about the current situation in Sword Plains and Sunlight City. That's what she's here for.

The officer was actually very curious about why this sword blade would get mixed up with Earl Zhou Shu.

He, the boss of the army, doesn't have any messy ideas, and he can guess a little from Zhou Shu's point of view. He still admires the earl who can take the daughter of the Black Feather family for his own use.

"This Sword Plain is now serving as a special zone for our exchange with the East Country, for now. It's a bit difficult......"

The officer didn't mind chatting with the pretty girl, and he talked to Baiyu in his office.

It was the first time that Bai Yu had heard of the functions that the Sword Plain currently carried, "The free entrance and exit of the people of the two countries? No borders, no land of their own, no restrictions on anyone's entry and trade?, why is this happening?!"

Hearing the officer's description, Baiyu looked incredulous, and he couldn't understand how this situation could have happened. If there is no border, wouldn't even the army be able to enter at any time?!

The officers have studied these and are happy to help explain them.

"Now the Plains of the Sword Blade is owned by our army, and the military is ...... It seems that it is our army that has the upper hand. Her Majesty is not worried about the country of the east tearing up the truce and jumping to invade in a big way. That's why this area was opened to the people of the two countries, hoping to reconcile the contradictions between the two countries. It's a pity that he is short-sighted and doesn't cooperate......"

Baiyu can't listen to others counting their own countries here, but since the topic has appeared, I still have to ask the last question.

"Has the country of the east done anything to do anything?"

"Well, it did, and it's been done thoroughly. The officer smiled and stared at the girl in front of him who was enough to be his daughter, and told him what he knew.

Tiddlelem's proviso on the Plains of the Blades had already been considered a good guò a month ago. The two countries recognize the belonging of the Plains of the Sword and Blade, as well as their status as a land of freedom.

Tiddlerum had hoped to use it to attract the population of the enemy country. At the very least, it is necessary to promote the strength of one's own family through guò here. As for the matter of the two countries making profits from commerce and attracting merchants and funds to develop the Sword Plain, Zhou Shu thought of it, and Tiddlelem, the little queen who had not blocked the principles of economics, had not considered it at all. It's just a matter of luck that she'll make this move.

Although Zhou Shu has read two books, he knows some principles. But that's just the principle.

In terms of the implementation of the policy, although the country of the east does not know what the enemy country is doing and what plans it has, they instinctively want to find some discomfort for their old opponents, and it is impossible for them to implement the plan smoothly.

And so. The country of the east came up with a more negative coping strategy.

"The country of the east drove in a large number of criminals, prostitutes, vagrants, landless peasants, and refugees and did not allow them to return. Our army received nearly 50,000 of these outcasts in the six cities of the Sword Plain. Due to the large proportion of criminals among them, which caused a lot of chaos, the city of sunlight was under martial law, and the residents of the city were confined to Xicheng District, and commercial activities were stopped. That's all we can do until these people are completely honest. ”

The officer explained the situation a little, which also made Baiyu fall into deep thought.

Deliver the 'dregs' of the country to the enemy country and consume the enemy's resources. Now that their queen has given the order, she probably won't exterminate those 'scum'. As long as they are kept, these people will become a burden to the country of the west. If the West Country treats these people roughly, it may even force them into bandits or resistance, which will be even more difficult to deal with.

In Hyakuzu's opinion, it is better for the country of the west to kill all these guys, so that no matter what the queen is paying attention to, with the reputation of using the army to kill tens of thousands of civilians, her ghost tricks will no longer be able to play.

She herself still admires the trick that the motherland has used against the enemy, letting those guilty and useless guys serve the country, and by the way, she can also eliminate them and purify the country, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The officer stared at Bai Yu with a satisfied expression, and couldn't figure out if this guy was from Zhou Shu's side, and why he was so happy to hear this kind of news.

For a little girl, the officer didn't expect much, and didn't think that this woman would have any far-reaching resourcefulness. Now judging from her state of joy, I believe that she is the kind of woman who has no brains, at most a little clever.

Continuing to talk about some of the things inside Nikko City, the officer said that he was leaving. At present, there are many troubles in the city. There are some nasty rebels lurking among the common people. The army has been harassed for days, and it is impossible to do anything excessive to the people left behind in the East Country.

In normal times, if these arrogant guys had hid among the innocent people to fight guerrillas and ignore the lives of these people, then he would have bothered to care, and would have ordered someone to slaughter the city. At the very least, a few thousand people had to be dragged out to stab them to death.

But when it comes to taking here. The army promised Duke Kuroba that they would protect the people of the city as long as he surrendered to it. The duke did it and surrendered, and the army naturally had to fulfill its promises. Although the officer who proposed the deal was someone else, as a soldier and the current top commander of the occupation forces, no matter who made the promise, as long as it was a promise made in their army, he would keep it. Instead of thinking about the dishonorable thing of killing civilians, it is better to think of a way. Capture the rebels hiding in the city—

Zhou Shu took the premonition of love for the first time in his life, and walked to Xicheng District alone. Along the way, he encountered countless patrol soldiers, and was also interrogated many times as a bad guy.

He has the pass pass given to him by the governor of this place, and in the city of officer mode, it is difficult to move an inch without this thing, which is very important.

Sneaking all the way to Xicheng District, the dense and lively city scene comes into view.

Commercial activities in the city have ceased completely, and these merchants of Higanokuni have retained their possessions. However, all kinds of supplies were bought by the occupying forces at very low prices.

At present, the daily meals of the inhabitants of the city are all provided by the occupying forces, in contrast. Residents need to help the army with their work in exchange for food.

When Zhou Shu came to Xicheng District, he was accompanied by a large number of small soldiers, and these people also recognized him, if it weren't for the fact that they were not popular to sign here, it is estimated that Zhou Shu would have signed softly.

"I still have things to do, so stay away from me. Don't get in my way!"

At the sound of the order, the soldiers scattered and fled like flies that had been driven away, and ran away without a single figure, not even daring to look at the Count from afar. I'm afraid of ruining other people's big things.

Zhou Shu took off the single clothes on his body and found a tattered dress that had been damaged by the fight and put it on. Somewhat integrated into the environment of this Xicheng District.

It's summer, and in late August, the heat in the middle of the Americas is a bit desperate.

Master Zhou remembered that he still had a treasure chest of ice cubes in the magic space, and some wanted to take it out and lick it. It was midday, and the weather upset him.

The inhabitants of the control would do small odd jobs for the army that had invaded their homes, such as sharpening arrows, sharpening arrows, and making clothes, in exchange for food. However, the army did not have much work to do for the hundreds of thousands of people left in the city, who were currently sitting idly in the shade with nothing to do.

In the shadow of the low buildings, everywhere there were men in twos and threes gambling together, and the stakes were nothing more than some stones. Dirty children roamed the streets, and women drew water from the fountains in the square, watched over by officers and soldiers.

Water is a very important thing in this hot and dyingly hot place, especially when everyone is bored, and all the citizens can do is to queue up endlessly and fetch more water. As for what it is for, they do not know, only that water is a material and a necessity, and the more the better.

The long queue for drawing water was very long, so long that Zhou Shu didn't want to look at it a second time after seeing it for the first time.

He had braved the heat to attend some messy exhibitions before, and often queued up, knowing very well how hard it was to wait for the comrades in the front row to move their steps in this climate.

For this scene in Xicheng District, Zhou Shu felt quite poetic, with the feeling of a small Italian town at the end of World War II. Intense and relaxed.

When these two contradictory words appear at the same time, it proves that the situation here is somewhat complicated.

Zhou Shu also found a corner and squatted down, feeling a hint of coolness in the embrace of the shadow of the wall. He was going to spend the afternoon squatting here, checking the Book of Summons to see if he could find the girl who had a premonition.

He was now almost certain that the feeling was a sixth sense from his internal organs. This feeling told him that soon a girl who was very important to him would appear. As for how important, he was looking forward to it.

There is a movie called "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", and the current urban atmosphere reminds him of some of the shots in the film. He began to look forward to a girl as beautiful as the heroine in the movie walking in front of him, beautiful enough to make everyone in the city stop and watch.

He didn't really want to continue adding extra strokes to that messy love life, he was just curious. After all, it was the first time I felt such a peculiar feeling.

Just as he was scanning the neighborhood with the Book of Summons and preparing to check it, there was some commotion on the side of the pool where the water was drawn.

Zhou Shu didn't see the cause of the riot, he just didn't pay attention to it for a little time, and the riot had escalated into a brawl among the citizens.

When the army saw that something was happening, it was decisive to attack. Surround these rioting citizens. Not only that, but the army is gathering more and more, and it can be seen that they seem to be very sensitive to this kind of thing.

On the side of the wall where Zhou Shu was squatting, a dark-haired girl with dark skin, bare arms, and short man-like hair appeared, leaning against the corner of the wall in the same posture as him.

Zhou Shu noticed this person, if he hadn't had the Book of Calling. I almost thought she was a beautiful boy and not a woman.

A woman who looks like a man, Senior Sister An is one of them. However, Senior Sister An has long hair and fluttering, and she is still quite feminine when her hair is scattered, but looking at her eyebrows, most people will think that she is 'handsome' rather than 'beautiful'.

The woman who would come over was completely different, even though she had short hair and was dressed in old clothes. The face is also very similar to that of a boy. But her face gives people a 'cute' feeling, the kind of cute and weak boy's face.

"This kind of weather. Brunette is uncomfortable, right?"

After the girl squatted, she smiled and said this to Zhou Shu next to her, which startled him.

Master Zhou is very sure that his hair is brown, and it won't take long to dye it so that people won't be able to see the original hair color. 'Who is she?'

After the girl said so. He took out a kettle from his waist and poured some over his short black hair to cool off. Zhou Shu stared at her, watching the water from her head run down her neck to her chest, wetting her old clothes.

At this moment. This dress no longer has the ability to cover the body, and the small ups and downs on the girl's chest can be seen clearly.

When the girl saw the people around her looking at her, she thought that he wanted to ask herself to borrow water to cool off, and said embarrassedly: "The water in the pot is all warm, and the last point is gone." She finished and looked in the direction of the pool that was still fighting in a riot. "I was queuing up to get water, but there was an inexplicable fight there, and I definitely won't be able to get it today. ”

Zhou Shu was very sure that the girl didn't notice that she was now in a state that was a little excited for a man, obviously her skin was very dark, but the protrusions on her chest were pink. After listening to the girl's words, Zhou Shu took out his kettle and handed it over, "Your black hair is quite difficult, my water will be given to you." ”

"Really?" the girl took the jug and took a big sip of the kettle, pouring the rest on her face, so that more water completely wet her thin summer clothes.

Zhou Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her like this, and was sure that the 'black hair' that this guy was talking about just now was just her and had nothing to do with him.

The kettle was conjured out of a space prop, and there was no big sun in that space, so the water was very cold. The girl poured water on her head, and the cool sensation made her let out a somewhat seductive sigh.

Giving her the kettle, Zhou Shu had bad intentions, just wanting to see this heartless guy get wet up close. He did it, and he succeeded.

"Give it back to you, there's still some in there. The girl handed the kettle back, and left some on purpose.

Seeing that this beautiful girl was so happy for a pot of water, Zhou Shu was sure that this guy should be the kind of guy with a simple temperament. "You don't have to give it back to me, it's for you. He smiled at the girl.

The black-haired girl did look a little like a boy in her personality, and happily said 'thank you' and accepted it with a big grin.

Zhou Shu began to wonder if this girl, who looked like a beautiful boy, could be the one who appeared in his sixth sense. At the same time, his sixth sense sounded a slight alarm.

Zhou Shu read the Book of Summoning and was sure that the girl with a shiny chest next to him was just an ordinary person. He didn't know where the danger came from, and he didn't plan to leave here, he wanted to try to communicate more with other girls.

It was at this time that the commotion by the pool was relieved. With the arrival of a large number of Nishi's ** team, the fight has been stopped. But I don't know who threw something from the crowd into the pool. The thing suddenly boiled when it came into contact with the water, causing mist to rise in the pool.

The mist spread very quickly, and in a short time it spread throughout the square, enveloping the army and the people of the square, and it continued to spread. There was a group of people in the crowd who nervously covered their faces with the wet cloth strips of the water bottle they were carrying at the same time as the mist appeared. (To be continued......)
