Chapter Front:

The previous chapter has changed...... Although there are mistakes everywhere, this time this one is really miserable.;. 23＋wx――

Body:

How powerful the gray witch's beetle is, Zhou Shu didn't test it. So far, he's just finding some forest and giving orders to the beetles to attack the trees and stones, and that's it.

Judging from the billowing wood dust caused by these things, it seems that there is still some combat effectiveness. Because it was so choking, he didn't try much.

Hearing the big old rough officer in front of him say that it was a silver metal beetle that flew out and swept away the entire army pursuing the resistance organization in one go, which made Lord Zhou all kinds of depressed.

"Silver...... I gave the young eagle a silver ...... But that guy is probably more than willing to use Dinglan to manipulate her rocks to 'sweep'. ”

In fact, Zhou Shu had already thought that it was the girl named Snail Kite who saved him who made trouble. If you think about it carefully, the possibility that she caused trouble for the army is quite high, and strictly speaking, the possibility that she is a member of the resistance army is not impossible......

Master Zhou was a little depressed, but the girl saved herself, she was also very beautiful, and she ate so many cones together, so it was a bit of affection.

According to the law, if the person who caused this incident is really a snail kite, it is estimated that a hundred deaths are not too much. When asked about the casualties, the numbers are a bit staggering......

What to do, what to do......

Zhou Shu thought about it for a while, and remembered that Nati and the young eagle seemed to sometimes hang beetles on their clothes as brooches, which would be troublesome if they were discovered by the officers and suspected of their side. Although it won't cause any big trouble, it's better that this kind of thing that may turn into suspicion is rare.

In order to prevent the situation from happening, Master Zhou took the initiative to confess and caught a silver beetle. Asked the officer with an embarrassed face.

"Well, let's see, isn't this the thing that's causing trouble......"

The officer nodded, "If this thing could fly up and attack like an arrow, it would be exactly the same." ”

Zhou Shu covered his face with his hands and brought the officer to the courtyard. Then point the beetle at an unlucky tree and let it attack. The beetle turned into an armor-piercing bullet, piercing the tree in one ordinary way, and then a few more back and forth, cutting the tree to the ground, still dusty.

The officer hugged his arms and said that he wanted an explanation, and Zhou Shu, who was an earl, also whispered what he had encountered before.

"Lord Earl, I didn't say you. You are our vassal. Can't you take it out to help us if you have the strength, why send it to someone else?"

"I was wrong, really wrong, who hasn't made a mistake yet......" Zhou Shu didn't have any intention of repenting, he just wanted to get that beetle back now.

The officer wanted to curse, for him, the life of a soldier was not a simple number, and he had seen a few of those who died today. We drank and chatted together. Now that the people are gone, they were harmed by their own feudal kings. It left him at a loss of what to say.

"My lord, let me help you to say that one of your precious beetles has been stolen and is likely to fall into the hands of the rebels. But you'll have to do a favor and get the woman back who took your things. ”

Zhou Shu said that he was willing to help catch it, but he didn't have time.

He really didn't have time. As soon as this military manager is finished, he, the earl, is also about to start normal diplomatic relations. The lords of the surrounding area had come with a large pile of letters, saying that they were coming to visit, and the letters were already piled up in several baskets. Baiyu helped reply one by one, and now there is not even a serious document here in the Earl's Court. A qiē is a hundred tongues to do it for you. However, replying to the letter does not mean that the matter is over, and we still have to see you.

The officer was a little unhappy with the Count's attitude, but it was not easy to say anything, but he wrote all his dissatisfaction on his face.

Zhou Shu expressed regret for the little things during the day, and he didn't expect the snail kite to make such a mess. It's not that he doesn't want to look for her, it's just that he doesn't plan to look for her with those sergeants, and when he finds it, he will probably be killed, and the earl can't play much role in front of the law, and it's still more difficult to open the net.

Seeing off the officer, Baiyu came out of the side gate of the castle, holding a candlestick in his hand and carrying a book at his waist.

She looked at Zhou Shu with a depressed face, and then looked at the nearby severed trees.

"Do you know, Lord Count, that this broken tree was planted when my father was born? ”

"Uh......" Zhou Shu knelt down, "I'll pay for it, you can say it, what do you want......"

Baiyu said in a very flat tone: "I want you to heal the tree." ”

The lines that appeared in Journey to the West also made Zhou Shu embarrassed for a while, even though this is not a ginseng fruit tree, but he doesn't have the ability.

Seeing that the man in front of him was embarrassed, Baiyu sighed, as if he wanted to open something.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, my father is dead, and you killed him, so what's the point of killing a tree by you now. ”

She didn't seem to want to worry about this, so she sat down in front of a stone platform next to the broken tree, put the candlestick and read in pearles. She seemed to have bound the notes she had taken from the lecture last night into a book.

"If it's okay......" Zhou Shu cautiously asked, "I'll leave first?"

Baiyu shook his head, "Don't you want to pay compensation, then sit with me for a while, and arrange some work for me by the way." I have already handed over all the things you told me to the woman called Snake Bird, and she will continue to lobby on my behalf tomorrow. ”

"That's fine. What about the comptoirs?"

"I haven't rushed yet. My bad, I'll do it tomorrow. ”

"No, I don't. Zhou Shu shook his hand, "I thought about it carefully, this matter is not needed for the time being." You help me draw up a notice, and I have a contract, and I'm going to recruit some workers and cut down all the forests on the outskirts of Sunshine City. ”

"Cut down?" Hundred Tongues glanced at her father's tree, "You have a grudge against the tree?"

“...... I was wrong. Master Zhou is really not good at talking to a woman with such a temperament when he is at a loss, "I just want to reclaim the wasteland." The workers were in charge of two meals, had gold coins and food, and were well paid. ”

"How many gold coins?" Hundred Tongues sneered with his nose when he heard this slightly ridiculous amount of wages, "Do you know that a sturdy slave can be sold for a gold coin?"

"In that case, let's exchange it for silver coins. In short, we have to pay cash, and we have to give more, and it must be the kind of price that even foreigners have to come to help us with the work. ”

Baiyu expressed dissatisfaction with the 'we' in his mouth, but still understood what he meant by being hungry. "This is how you save the civilians, what are you going to do with the women who can't afford to cultivate the land?"

"There is no weakness. Zhou Shu waved his hand, "It's good for a woman to pull weeds and pick up stones." We're all taking it all. Tomorrow, I will let someone from the army be an overseer, and the treatment will be preferential. ”

"Are you going to let 100,000 people in the city go to the wilderness? Do you have that much money?"

"Only the first two thousand. Zhou Shuqian did have it, but he doubted that the army had so much food.

There are many details about this kind of recruitment, such as how to manage these people, where the farm tools come from, the need to find an accountant to pay their salaries, the recruitment of some cooks to cook on the construction site, and the construction of a work shed.

"Just 2,000 people, I'm afraid it's useless. Baiyu expressed disapproval of this action. But still help out with this matter.

It's a sure thing that 2,000 people aren't enough to take care of anything, but it's not the only project. Moreover, the common people in the city may not have the surplus food hidden in their hands, and after the opening of the city, they will find a way to trade around, and if it is a big deal, they will be exiled to other places, and it is impossible to wait for death in a city without commercial life.

This Sunlight City and the other five main cities have been under military control, but some of the towns in this Sword Blade Plain have not done so. Now there is only one Nikko City in Kaesong, and those small towns can temporarily accommodate the homeless.

Zhou Shu believes. After the food flowed into Nikko City, the problem of eating was solved. The overall high income driven by himself here will definitely attract back the people who left, so he only needs to keep some of them now and not let the city lose its vitality.

It's a hot day, probably the last day of the summer. At this temperature, the castle is a little unretained, and the courtyard is breezy and breezy.

Secretly looking at the hundred tongues with long hair blown by the wind. Zhou Shu suddenly felt that he was quite sorry for her. He's still struggling with the tree.

The two discussed the matter for a while, and then talked about the economy.

Zhou Shu is not an economist, but he has only heard of some principles and is able to borrow the logic of the price school to explain the problem. Baiyu has a little potential to become an economic columnist, and is very curious about this aspect. This is obviously not a topic that girls will like, and it is not a horoscope blood type.

The two of them sat like this again for most of the night, until Baiyu crawled on the notebook and fell asleep. She hadn't slept for two days, she had come out to cool off because she was too hot to sleep, but now she slept comfortably when the wind blew her.

As soon as she stopped, the mosquitoes in the yard flew towards her, apparently preparing to satisfy her hunger.

There are some green grass and green trees in this courtyard in this castle, and it is inevitable that Zhou Shu accidentally injured Duke Heiyu's tree.

Where there are plants, there are all kinds of insects, and Zhou Shu doesn't plan to see this guy being bitten all over his head, and then confidently ask himself for sugar treatment. So, he picked it up in the manner of a princess and prepared to send it back to the room.

Just as he was about to move towards the castle, a dark shadow jumped down from the sky and smashed it over his head.

If it weren't for the way Nati's curly hair fluttered in the night, Zhou Shuzhen was worried about where the assassin came from and wanted to kill himself during the leap of faith.

"Don't move her, I'll help you carry her back to the room!"

Nati came down from the sky and wanted to say that's what she wanted to say.

She couldn't sleep in the heat either, so she came out for a walk, and then saw Zhou Shu and Baiyu discussing things in the courtyard.

Zhou Shu threw the hundred tongues to Nati, who carried her on her shoulders like carrying pork, and then beckoned Zhou Shu to walk back to the castle together.

As a bodyguard, Nati hasn't done anything lately, and she has been waiting to die for a long time, which makes her a little worried, afraid that she is used to this idle life.

After sending the hundred tongues, Zhou Shu went to Nati's room, and the two chatted for a while.

"Why don't I find you some work and help me find someone. ”

Nati waved her hand, "I don't have the skills." ”

"Aren't you 'doing nothing'!"

"I'm going to train the horses!" she came back from catching a lot of wild horses today, "it's not business, it's just playing." ”

For warriors who only have military force, when the war stops, what they can do will be compressed to very little.

Look at Nati. Zhou Shu always felt that between the White Moon Kingdom and the Forest Country, it might be because the warriors wanted to find something for themselves to do, so there was a constant war.

As for the two countries on the land under their feet, it is natural that they have become what they are now because of the patron saints.

The guardian spirit class is still there, which is a point that Zhou Shu is more worried about. As long as this thing is not eradicated, the problem of faith of the people here cannot be resolved. As long as the people here still believe in the. It won't be so easy to usher in peace.

At present, the guardian spirits seem to have sensed that the situation is not good, so they all hide and live in peace, and Zhou Shu is not easy to start. This kind of thing needs to take advantage of the chaos.

The military management of Sunshine City is over, and because the people of the city have been mentally prepared, there is no chaos. After the army withdrew from Xicheng District, the residents of the city scattered all over the city, and some people left the city directly with their families in carts.

Zhou Shu sat at the top of the temple, looking at the people below him and yawning. The temple is currently closed, and the clergy have long since fled the area. It should have entered the hinterland of the East Country.

Judging from the Book of Summoning of the Book of Zhou, it seems that the patron saint of the East Country really has no intention of counterattacking.

He's standing so tall now, he's looking for the snail kite with his eyes. Just now he went to Snail Kite's house, the stuffy and cramped house in his memory, no one was found, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

If he wasn't sure that the metal beetle wouldn't be snatched away, he was really worried that something would happen to the snail kite after he left, and that the rebels were actually someone else who had robbed her beetle.

Master Zhou yawned. The search was fruitless, and there was no girl who looked like a boy. In this era when there are no electronic eyes and high-tech searches, it is more suitable to be the background world of mystery novels. It's possible to reason without being ruined by technology, but when it comes to finding someone, it's a bit desperate.

At this moment, Snail Kite is in a garden mansion in Dongcheng District, surrounded by a group of members of the Justice Society.

The waterfowl stood in the crowd and looked at the snail kite with excitement on their faces. The snail kite has an embarrassed expression.

Yesterday, the members of the Justice Society launched another attack on the army, fell into a trap, and almost all of them were destroyed, and the number of prisoners was very large.

Under a small corporal punishment. Most of the strongholds hidden by the Justice Society in Xicheng District were dug up again, and the army ran to exterminate them before the enemy could withdraw.

Snail Kite has been living in the stronghold of the Justice Society as a diner and a lifesaver of waterfowl for the past few days, eating the meals they entertain, and basking in the sun all day with nothing to do, which is her ideal life.

Occasionally, someone would ask her to do something, but most of the time she came to see the silver beetle. She also tried to order the beetles to catch the birds, and at dusk, to attack the flocks of birds returning to their nests, so she harvested a large amount of bird meat, which was considered a meal.

Knowing that beetles can help them a lot, the snail kite began to look forward to the time when the birds appeared in the sky above the city in the early morning and dusk. The waterfowl were always with her, using a basket for the blood-stained birds that had been caught by the beetles, and for a time everyone in her stronghold had meat to eat.

Yesterday evening, the snail kite still ordered the beetle to replenish the meat as usual, and just after harvesting a few, someone ran over in a panic, telling the snail kite and the waterfowl on the side to evacuate quickly, and did not say the reason.

The snail kite was fast, and she had no other luggage or anything to prepare except for her body. The waterfowl rushed to their rooms and packed their belongings, but before they could escape, they were surrounded by the army.

There are a lot of chronic sub-members in the entire stronghold, and there are about a dozen people who did not run away in time, including the snail kite that accompanied the water birds.

In this way, the dozen or so people faced the army that surrounded the entire street, and they could only raise their hands to give up resistance, and the snail kite did the same.

Unfortunately, however, the arrest warrants issued by the officers were somewhat sexist and sexist. He had the men captured and sent to prison, while the women were sent directly to slave camps.

When the snail kite was determined to be gendered and her hands and feet were tied, she was determined not to become a slave as a free man, so she ordered the beetle to help her and attack the army.

She has always been a good citizen, but it is a pity that the officials forced the people to rebel. As someone with a certain ability to resist, she did a good job.

The beetle that launched the attack was like a scythe flying into the wheat field, cutting off all the soldiers guarding the entrance and exit of the alley like ears of wheat, without any sense of hindrance. Time. The enclosed alley has become a place of bright red and hell.

The snail kite had never seen much human blood, and it was faint. It was also the first time she had heard that she had fainted blood. The waterfowl on the side have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, after all, she grew up in a family that always fights and kills.

The waterfowl supported the snail kite, and together with a dozen other people, they took advantage of the chaos and found a remote place to hide. As a home man. It is not difficult to avoid the search of these soldiers of the West Country in the city.

After staying up all night, and when the military management was over, they hurriedly fled to the base camp in Dongcheng District, where many members of the Justice Society had gathered. They knew what the snail kite had done yesterday, and they felt very happy, and they avenged the failure of their side of the operation.

This will be surrounded by snail kites, which can be regarded as being thanked by this large group of people. She is still not used to crowded occasions, and she seems a little helpless in the face of the words of thanks from the crowd around her.

The waterfowl have been saved twice by the snail kite. In the crowd, she excitedly shouted to the snail kite, "You are my savior!"

Savior......

As soon as this word appeared, it was immediately recognized by many people.

There is no doubt that the Patronus has abandoned the followers of the Plains of the Blade, and none of the clergy have left in Sunlight City, and all of them have fled, which has always discouraged the believers of the Plains. Plus the death of the moon god. These people of strong faith no longer have spiritual support.

"It doesn't matter if the Patronus has abandoned us, we now have Miss Snail Kite. She's like our patron saint!"

Another person in the crowd shouted like this, and after hearing this, many people scratched their heads in embarrassment, and they also realized that the person in front of them was not a beautiful boy, but a young lady who looked like a boy.

I don't like the snail kite very much about the title of savior, and the water fowl can call alone, but now a group of people are shouting around her. She couldn't stand it a little. She felt like she should get out of here, she was a little scared by what had happened yesterday.

The work on Baiyu's side has finally been carried out smoothly, and she has given up dealing with civilians and decided to devote herself to the cause of politics.

Get in touch with officials who understand the rules of the game and are relatively rational. She also regained some of the feeling of being hugged by people when she was a duchess.

It was ironic that the officials still treated Baiyu in the same manner as a great nobleman, but deep down she liked it.

She was in a good mood today, quietly waiting for Zhou Shu to return in the castle, ready to report the news of her work to him.

As soon as I came to the backyard of the castle, I saw that Zhou Shuzheng was sending a bunch of soldiers to guard the gold coins all over the ground, and it was already a little dark, and the last twilight light illuminated the gold coins red under the foil of the torches, which was intoxicating.

In front of the gold coin, there were a dozen or so men, lined up to receive the money, and the snake bird was keeping the account on the side. Baiyu glanced at it and saw that those people were all restaurant owners who had rejected him before. They're taking the money, which means they're accepting the contract!

Seeing this, Baiyu hurriedly found a place to hide and didn't walk over. She feared that she would be seen by those pesky restaurateurs, and she didn't want to be on such an occasion either.

After two days of tossing, he was beaten twice, and he was almost insulted, and in the end he got nothing but killing two people. This is the record of 100 tongues.

On the other hand, the snake bird takes a daytime to get everyone done. That's right, Baiyu has just confirmed, it is indeed everyone, one and a few, at least except for the two who died.

Her cat was behind the bushes, and she was very jealous of the smiling snake bird standing next to Zhou Shu. She couldn't accept the fact that she was doing nothing, but she was being given a ...... by this unknown guy

Baiyu felt that those bosses were simply insane, and the snake bird would not offer better conditions, but he was recognized, but he couldn't. It's just eye-catching.

'I don't know what trick that woman used...... ' Hyakyu crouched behind the bushes, his heart full of imbalance. Suddenly, she thought about the disgusting thing she had seen last night. 'That woman is a prostitute, maybe she's ......' (to be continued......
