Book 747 A Hundred Tongues and a Hundred Tongues
Women are used to giving their best things to the man they like, and if she doesn't do that, she can only say that she is sensible, or she doesn't like the person she is dating at all.
Zhou Shu, who had received a province as a post-war reward, wanted to find someone to help him take care of the place. He has no management experience at all, and he is not ready to learn. Although it seems that he should borrow some manpower from the hands of the queen at this time, he is not in the mood to put a large number of men around him.
It's normal to get used to being surrounded by girls and start to hate men. According to the configuration that Tiddlelem had arranged for Zhou Shu, he could take a cavalry team of three hundred men to the Plains of the Sword and Blade, and he could take over the troops stationed there. In addition, he can organize a cabinet like a prime minister, handle everyday matters, and get acquainted with nobles in order to manage the minor lords of the Plains of the Sword Blade.
Managing an area is not as difficult as you might think. Just find a good lord to manage the densely populated area. The lord is equivalent to the agent of the great nobles, and only needs to be responsible to the big nobles. If you don't have anyone to help, there's a lot to do.
Tiddlelime knew very well that people like Zhou Shu probably wouldn't let themselves be stumped by such complicated mundane things, so she helped find the original owner there.
Zhou Shu said that in exchange for letting the girl and her family go back to the Sword Plain, let the girl accompany him to have a meal and talk about some things.
This is almost a threat, but she is now someone else's slave, and any threat in front of her is no different from a calm discussion.
Slaves have no human rights, and in short, there is nothing else to be seen as human except that they are biologically human. They have no property rights. itself is someone else's property. The law against people is not in force with them, and if an outsider beats them to death, it can be regarded as harming the finances of others, not hurting people's lives, this is the law of the country of the west and the country of the east. The two countries are of the same origin and are very close ideologically.
Dirty hundred tongues look tempting. Zhou Shu had been concerned about her taste before, and he had been frowning at her. Now the girl was thinking with her hand under her upturned nose, hesitating whether to agree to the conditions of the person in front of her. Zhou Shu also looked at her a few more times at this time, the brown skin seemed to match the color of the mud and dirt, the tattered cloth strips hanging on the body, the dried mud and the bare skin complemented each other, quite miserable, it was really easy for men to rise the most primitive desire to protect.
Sword Blade thought for a while, knowing that he had no choice, for the sake of his family's life. I can only obey the orders of the man in front of me. However, for her, it was difficult to say a word of compromise and conformity, which made her stay in place and remain silent.
When Zhou Shu was looking for this place, he had already talked to the owner of this place, that is, the officer who had kidnapped Hei Yu's family.
Sword Blade Hundred Tongue is the eldest daughter of Duke Black Feather, aged twenty, and has begun to take over the family's important affairs. Since she is a duchess, she can barely be called the princess of the hundred tongues. However, in the country of Nishi, the class of Miss Duchess has a specific vocabulary. So the word Miss Duchess is closer.
Miss Duchess of Hundred Tongues is very famous and notoriously stubborn in the Plains of the Sword Blade. Her temper is the same as that of her father, Duke Black Feather.
The officer who captured their family saw the Duke's stubborn temper, and the officer wanted to entertain their family with good food and drink, and then let them go to a friend in the East Country to borrow money and redeem themselves.
It took the Duke a whole month to move from the Plains of the Sword Blade to the Imperial Capital Region. In this month, he has suffered almost all the hardships in his life, but in the face of a rare meal, he kicked the table over. He said that he resolutely refused to accept the handouts of the enemy generals. As for asking people to pay a ransom for him, he resolutely refused to do it, saying that he could not let the precious gold of the eastern kingdom flow into the western kingdom.
The officer's temper was also a little bigger, and when he saw the duke, he didn't know what to do, thinking he was holding a rack. Decisively grabbed his youngest son and slashed him. When the Earl saw his son's head fall to the ground, he only snorted lightly through his nose without giving him a second look.
The officer also treats others with himself, and thinks that no one in the world will be so ruthless as to let his children die in vain. So, he ordered his soldiers to tie up all the men of the Black Feather family and kill one every twelve hours, and only the earl was killed a few hours ago.
The officer admired this kind of cold-blooded guy, and it was rare for a person to be able to live without any humanity, so the officer directly stabbed this stubborn temper to death, and threw the body into his own kennel, so that the vicious dogs could taste blood.
After hearing this, Zhou Shu didn't want to find the hundred-tongued princess, but in the end he came hard.
Hearing that this princess was as stubborn as her father, Zhou Shu wondered if his little threat would not work. looked at the girl in front of her with a flushed face, looking like she had something to say but couldn't open her mouth. He also gave a step at random, "That's it, Miss Hundred Tongues, I'll help you sell those dresses that you don't want to wear." That's your stuff, so the money from the sale is also yours. How about you use the money to go to the hotel and comb through it, and I'll look for you in two hours?"
When Master Zhou said this, he was almost amused by himself, how could anyone in the world be so polite to the captive? He also put himself in the shoes of other people's dignity, and changed flowers to save face for her.
If it weren't for the stubborn temper of the Heiyu family, worried that this girl would bite her tongue and kill herself directly, Zhou Shu would have wanted to kick her in the ass. I've never seen such a big shelf, and it's still holding it like this.
Hearing this, Baiyu snorted with his nose to indicate that he had heard.
"You are a sensible person, judging by your appearance, you should be a seaman rather than a native of the Western Country, and you are really better than this barbarian. ”
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes at this girl ten thousand times in his heart, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this woman was kicked around on the ground by more than a dozen men two days ago. But thinking about it carefully, she didn't say a word when she was beaten, it seems that women of this character are abundant on this continent, and Tiddlelem was like this when she was whipped before.
According to the agreement, Yiqiē was arranged, and the girl with a hundred tongues took the money from selling her dresses and wore a plain robe. He was taken by two guards to a nearby hotel that supplied hot water.
Zhou Shu stayed at the officer's house, pestered by more than a dozen children of the officer, and said that he would be accepted as an attendant.
He heard it all just now, these little fathers were hiding in the corner, telling them to pester themselves and force themselves to take one or two.
Heroes are known for their extraordinary reputation, especially those who single-handedly slain hundreds of Patronus.
Zhou Shu discovered. The little girl who possessed the magic did not appear among the children who were besieging her. Obviously, she has been protected by her father, and she should be prepared to focus on training. I don't know if in ten years, there will be a stunningly talented female officer in the country of the west.
After being tortured by these children for a long time, Zhou Shu had no choice but to let them stand on the strengthening magic array, give them a little stronger, and send them away.
After he got it, he was also a troublesome officer. Go and talk to those ladies of the Black Feather family, it is estimated that they will leave for the Sword Blade Plains next week, so that they can be mentally prepared. He is very confident that he can convince Baiyu, that kind of awkward woman, most of the time it is actually easier to coax-
The two-hour time was soon up, and Zhou Shu went to the hotel to talk to the girl with a hundred tongues as promised.
At this time, the blade of the sword has become clean, and the whole person is bright, but there are some sunburns on the skin.
Zhou Shu gave her a candy. wanted to heal her skin, but she slapped her to the ground.
"Are you stupid to me, how could you possibly eat what you give?"
"Oh my God! talented girl!!" Zhou Shu was also the second woman who didn't pick up her sugar after meeting Lu Xiaoshuang. Moved multiplied.
The officer had already said before that this eldest lady had begun to help her duke's father deal with government affairs, which meant that this was exactly the person Zhou Shu was looking for. Now that I see this guy, I have a bit of experience in the rivers and lakes, and Master Zhou's first impression of the woman in front of him is getting closer and closer to 'reliable'.
Not knowing what the guy in front of him was talking about, he snorted and said he didn't care, and then sat down on the long table in the lobby of the hotel. The boy was summoned and asked for bread and milk, and he was ready to eat.
Zhou Shu saw very clearly that the woman also gave all the money in the pocket of her robe to the young man, but she could barely eat a meal, and the extra copper plates were also rewarded by the guy as a tip.
"Ugh. Please bring me a glass of milk too. Zhou Shu took out the money and was self-sufficient, which was regarded as a meal with this girl's AA system.
Looking at the sword blade that eats and drinks at a super fast speed, Zhou Shu decided to drink his milk quietly and wait until she finished eating before talking about things.
The Hundred Tongues hadn't eaten for two days, and she seemed to have been forgotten after being locked up in that cell, with no one to bring her food or torture her. She didn't have to eat, but she almost died without drinking water for two days. Zhou Shu felt that she was very smart at this time, because when she was taking a bath, she took a scoop and scooped water into her stomach and poured herself hard.
She wasn't thirsty, but after her first bite of bread, a powerful hunger pang came at her. She wanted to finish this simple lunch in a decent way, but the speed at which her fingers tore the bread could not be suppressed faster and faster, and she chewed less and less.
Zhou Shu would be staring at her, watching her stuff the whole sweet bread into her mouth like a big stomach, and then send it down to her esophagus with milk.
When he was a child, Zhou Shu liked to watch his father eat the most, because her father seemed very fragrant no matter what he ate. Looking back now, an alien can appreciate Chinese food like that, and he can be regarded as contributing to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Zhou Shu drank a glass of milk, and the hundred-tongued girl was already full. She regretted that she didn't control her feelings and made that kind of embarrassing appearance.
'It's over, I'm going to be seen as a joke by this man,...... "She grabbed another loaf of bread in frustration and squeezed it hard. She also realized that she didn't know the name of the man in front of her.
Zhou Shu was not very reluctant to report his name, he knew that his name was not only very famous in the country of the west, but also thunderous in the country of the east, and had the ability to stop children from crying at night.
The ugly daughter-in-law also has to see her in-laws sooner or later, and what should be said is always what to say.
After sorting out the feelings, Zhou Shu smiled at Baiyu, who was tearing the bread in half and pinching it flat, "Miss Duchess Baiyu, I don't seem to have introduced myself yet." ”
"Well, yes, I forgot if you didn't say it. But even if you introduce me. An ordinary person like you, I'll probably turn around and forget about it. ”
"Uh......" Zhou Shu was used to girls having a bad personality, so he didn't care much about it, and whispered his name, as if it was something very shameful.
"Zhou Shu?" Bai Yu hugged his arms, tilted his head and pointed his nostrils and chin to Zhou Shu. "You mean to say. That monster man who appeared in the land of the west is you, isn't it?"
Zhou Shu nodded awkwardly, strictly speaking, he should be the culprit who caused the destruction of the Baiyu family, which made him very weak-hearted.
"Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
"Uh......" Zhou Shu began to touch the handkerchief all over his body, wanting to do magic.
Just as he was finding it, the hundred-tongued girl in front of him stood up in the wooden cup containing the milk.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you're true or not. If you mention that name before me, it is already a capital offense. ”
She said so. A cup smashed towards Zhou Shu's head, and he was also preparing to personally execute the condemned prisoner.
Master Zhou can be regarded as having seen the medieval version of being smashed with a wine bottle, and the glass wine bottle has been replaced with a wooden cup, and the lethality has also decreased a lot.
He didn't dare to show off in this little inn. No one will recognize him yet, and if there is a mess and people will watch him, he will be passive at that time.
Zhou Shu grabbed Baiyu's wrist, dodged the cup, and pressed her back to her seat. Several of the merchants in the inn saw him so rough with the woman. coughed dissatisfiedly, so frightened that Zhou Shu covered his face and misunderstood.
It's a hot day. Robes don't work well anymore, and covering your face all day long won't work. Fortunately, there are not many people who have seen him in person in this western capital, and the face of the stone statue in the square has not yet been carved, and the number of people who know him is still relatively limited. As long as you don't come out of the palace, it's not so easy to be discovered.
Baiyu missed a blow, and he also gave up the follow-up attack. She was sure. She couldn't hurt this person, so she sat back down and asked, "Are you really that heinous monster?"
Master Zhou has not been in contact with other people in the East Country, and he doesn't know what kind of ghost he has been described in that country, but he thinks she should be her own.
“...... My name is Zhou Shu, yes. It's also a monster in your mouth. He confessed to himself. "Miss Hundred Tongues, as you know, I came to you today to discuss some important matters with you......"
"What's the matter?"
After a bit of deliberation on the wording, I didn't find any euphemisms.
He didn't know how to say to a girl whose family was ruined, 'I'm sorry, I'm the one who hurt your whole family and took your property.' I want to ask you to help me manage my finances, and if you don't agree, I'll sell you as a slave. That's the kind of thing you say.
With his literary attainments, it is not enough to shamelessly beautify this sentence, and there is no way to avoid the embarrassing content in it.
Helpless, he chose to bite the bullet.
"Miss Hundred Tongues, you probably don't know yet...... You and I are two countries...... There has been a truce. ”
"I know. Sword Blade snorted and put on a face that she knew what was going on, which she had only found out after she had just interrogated the clerk after taking a shower.
"That ......" Zhou Shu lowered his head and wrapped his fingers, and said apologetically: "...... Now the Plains of the Sword Blade has been included in the territory of the West Country...... Do you know this?"
"Clear ...... Clear......"
She hadn't really heard of this, but after she was captured, she had guessed this possibility and had prepared for the worst. At this time, when asked like this, she chose to brag and continue to maintain her image as a god.
Zhou Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this girl looked calm, thinking that she might be a relatively indifferent person, and there was no fierce affection. So, he also said the most important sentence directly.
"I am now the master of the Plains of the Blades. My title is Earl, and there is my fiefdom. ”
Tiddlelime rewarded the Plains of the Sword Blade to Zhou Shu as a fief, in fact, before that, she even wanted to make the Plains of the Sword Blade independent into an independent county of the Earl State, the Earl of the Sword Blade. She did this in the hope of making Zhou Shu closer to her in terms of identity. However, thinking that he is a hero who has not been a hero for hundreds of years, whether he can be worthy of him or not, there is no need to deliberately elevate him.
Miss Baiyu wants to continue to maintain her calmness, which is very difficult, she can't handle it.
After Zhou Shu said this, he saw that the girl in front of him touched her hand to the cup again. He also snatched it away quickly, saving this guy from making any more eye-catching moves.
"I said Miss Duke. I haven't finished my sentence yet, can you get excited later?"
Sword Blade Hundred Tongue was still sitting on the wooden bench with a high-ranking appearance just now, but this time he lost that posture, and his facial expression distorted into a terrifying anger, "It's you! who took away my Black Feather family business! How can you still have the courage to appear in front of me! Do you want to humiliate me!"
She gritted her teeth as she spoke, as if she was trying quite hard to suppress her feelings. I didn't shout out loud.
Baiyu also knows that he is now in the West Country, and if he speaks too loudly to attract onlookers, he will be even more embarrassed.
Regarding the humiliation of the little girl in front of her, strictly speaking, Zhou Shu is a little interested, but it will definitely not be the humiliating method she said, but more direct and in-depth.
Seeing that the guy in front of him was still able to control his feelings, Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was pleasant, or he was low
Say good things. Indicates that he is not hostile.
"I'm a little reluctant to go about the Plains of the Blades, so I'd like to ask you to manage it there and act as my agent. ”
Tossing all the way, he finally said such a simple need. He just needs the guy in front of him to manage mundane affairs, such as taxation and administration, and it is best to be able to show up on his behalf and take care of the things that may arise in the entertainment. As for the company's development route. He, the president, is ready to make it himself.
As a family that has ruled that land for a hundred years, the Black Feather family can't manage it. However, as long as his family is in charge, I believe that there will be much less resistance. Zhou Shu didn't fancy the political power of the woman in front of him, he took a fancy to the identity of this guy's eldest daughter as a duke.
If her father was still alive, in fact, Zhou Shu was ready to let his father go back to live as a duke, and he would not ask for the right to use other people's daughters.
Now her dad is hanging. And she shouldn't know about this yet, Zhou Shu is very sure that the persuasion work is far from the most difficult point.
Master Zhou still has some language organization skills, and he quickly conveyed his meaning accurately, telling the truth. Didn't fool her.
"Miss Hundred Tongues, you can go back to the Plains of the Sword and live in the castle where you used to live, or even become the master there, and I am willing to move out or be one of your guests. And what you have to do is to bring the Black Feather family back there. ”
Sword Blade Hundred Tongues understood the words of the person in front of him, "You want me to be your lackey? Hmph, you came back to me because my father rejected me." Right?"
"Uh...... "Have I been rejected?" Zhou Shu pondered. People are dead, so it should be a kind of rejection, right?" he nodded.
Baiyu's love was even more stable than she imagined, and she waved her arm at Zhou Shu and asked him to take her back to that prison.
"I will consult with my father before I reply to you about it. ”
Counsel with your dad?
Zhou Shu stared at this silly girl who remembered going to heaven, and sighed for a while.
"That...... I'm sorry, Miss Hundred Tongues, but I found you this morning. Before I arrived...... Your father...... Already...... has passed away......
Sword Blade seems to be a little mentally ill, sometimes it looks calm, sometimes it suddenly becomes angry. However, Zhou Shu didn't blame her, when she heard the news of her father's death in the morning, any filial child would have some affection.
Zhou Shu grabbed the wrist of the girl in front of him again, he didn't want to be slapped. Although it doesn't hurt to be beaten twice, it's still quite embarrassing to be beaten by a woman.
Bai Yu stood up, struggled to twist the bench and table, wanted to pull his arm out of Zhou Shu's hand, and then hit it hard.
The inn can't stay anymore, and many men want to be flower messengers to protect this girl who seems to be being coerced.
Zhou Shu had no choice but to drag her towards the officer's mansion.
A person can not know how to do it, and today he has finally gained full insight. As for the 'stubborn temper of the Black Feather family' in the officer's mouth, he has also learned enough. Although Zhou Shu thinks it's quite cute, it's really troublesome. (To be continued......)
