Intimidated by Meng Yang's momentum, Ariel and a group of caravan guards were a little dazed, but they smashed a sign and killed four ordinary slaves, what kind of big deal is this? Hearing that Meng Yang even moved out of the imperial law, it was clear that he wanted to investigate this matter to the end, and he was immediately buttoned down with a big hat of "trespassing on private territory and unruly", and Ariel and the others could not argue.

A group of caravan guards immediately quieted down, Ariel blushed, the two deputy captains urged the horses to his left and right, and the three of them looked at each other, this is something they have never encountered in many years as the escort of the Qige Chamber of Commerce, a small noble lord, not only blamed them back then, but also stood up for a few slaves and held them accountable.

Ariel barely squeezed out a smile, and said with a dry smile: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the new lord of Dragon Ruins, and it is disrespectful. We were physically and mentally exhausted from escorting this batch of valuable goods under the starry night, and I just wanted to hurry to the dragon ruins to rest and recuperate, but who knew that Your Excellency's slaves were actually blocking the convoy and not allowed to move forward, and I lost control of my emotions for a while, and killed a few people by mistake. I admit that I did not do this right, and the original price of your slaves is only thirty silver coins, and I will compensate you for four gold coins.

The caravan guards all felt incredible, what was wrong with the captain today, why did he bow his head to a little noble lord in such a low voice and admit his mistakes, how could the Zig Chamber of Commerce be treated like this today? The big and small viscounts and earls of the Volcanic Plains were also polite when they saw the people of the Qige Chamber of Commerce, why was this little lord of the Dragon Ruins so arrogant, and what was the captain afraid of?

Unexpectedly, Meng Yang snorted coldly and said sharply: "Four gold coins? Your Excellency is really good at laughing, are you a hillbilly who has never seen gold coins with me?" It is true that these people were only worth thirty silver coins before the Qig Chamber of Commerce sold them to me, but after they became my Mengyang's slaves, they put on the armor I prepared for them and took the weapons I chose for them, they are part of my Mengyang's flesh and blood, and if you kill them, you will hurt me!" Tell me about it, if you cut a lord four times and make him bleed, can it be calmed down with just four gold coins?"

Ariel didn't expect Meng Yang to be so able to speak, and just as he was dumbfounded, one of his deputy captains was furious, pointed at Meng Yang and shouted: "Your Excellency Meng Yang, you don't have to forget, you are just a little lord of the land of dragon ruins, and we represent the Qige Chamber of Commerce." Our captain is willing to pay you gold coins, that is, our captain doesn't want to entangle with you too much, not that he is afraid of you, I advise Your Excellency, accept it when you see it, don't be bored. ”

Another deputy captain interjected at the right time: "The laws of the empire govern the heavens and the earth, but our people in the Qige Chamber of Commerce can abide by it or not, if it weren't for the fact that Your Excellency is doing business with our Chamber of Commerce after all, we don't want to stop there! If Your Excellency doesn't believe in evil and has to fight with us, then let's wait and see who will eventually be stripped of their nationality and reduced to slavery!"

Meng Yang was finally angry, the Sieg Chamber of Commerce was like a predator in the volcanic plain, a small guard could even ignore the laws of the empire, and three days of freezing were not a day's cold. It seems that the arrogance of the Qige Chamber of Commerce was by no means formed overnight.

"Okay, since I don't even pay attention to the laws of the empire, I have to do my best to be a grasshopper that shakes the tree today, so that you can know that the laws of the empire are the face of the empire, and in order to defend the face of the empire, I, as the lowest-ranking nobleman, will swear to defend it to the death! Come on, let's put aside the relationship of business transactions for today's affairs, and there is no need to be linked to the Dragon Ruins and the Qige Chamber of Commerce, let's just treat this as a private grievance, and settle it with a duel, fair and just, so okay?"

Meng Yang said that he turned over and dismounted, and with a backhand, the iron horse turned his head and ran back to the checkpoint, Qiushui was on his shoulder, and his left hand passed over the faces of Ariel and the others, and then his tongue burst into a thunderous voice: "To fight or not to fight?"

A flash of cruelty flashed in Ariel's eyes, and he gestured, and a hundred guards dismounted.

Ariel's face was blue, his long sword was shaking, and he said sharply: "Your Excellency Meng Yang, the sword has no eyes, originally this is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, Your Excellency prefers to make a big fuss and refuses to rest." Of course, it would be nice to settle this dispute by a duel, but I wonder how you want to duel?"

Meng Yang said: "I hereby swear as the Lord of the Dragon Ruins, in today's duel, if I die, no one will hold the Qige Chamber of Commerce Escort responsible." Let's decide the winner or loser, you choose one person to come out, and fight me in a duel, no matter what the result is, the previous things will be written off!"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Ariel's eyes, and he sneered: "Your Excellency, you have to think twice, duels are not child's play, if you are unfortunately killed in battle, then all the wealth in your territory will belong to someone else!

Meng Yang said in a loud voice: "I said that whoever touches my slave will be like hurting my body, how can I allow it? It's useless to talk more, Your Excellency will send someone to fight!"

Ariel sneered: "Okay, since Your Excellency has to die by yourself, then I can't blame anyone." You don't need to send someone else, just let me Ariel meet you for a while!"

Ariel shook his long sword and stepped out of the crowd, and a group of guards retreated more than ten meters in unison, all with a sinister smile on their faces.

Ariel's long sword pulled out a beautiful sword flower, proudly pointed at Meng Yang and said, "Your Excellency, let's start!"

In the blink of an eye, the two dueling people had already activated their fighting qi at the same time, the long sword was facing the scimitar, and the distance between the two sides was only four or five meters.

"Strong armor!"

"Through the clouds!"

In an instant, the armor on Ariel's body was covered with a layer of fighting energy, which was strengthened to the third-level "strong armor", making the armor even stronger. At the same time, the fighting spirit on the sword shone, Ariel let out a dull low roar in his throat, and the sword leaned over and rushed towards Meng Yang, the fourth-level fighting qi technique "Piercing the Clouds" had already urged, and the fighting qi turned into a sword, tearing the air and covering Meng Yang.

The fighting spirit poured into the autumn water like a tide, Meng Yang's heart was like stopping water at this moment, and his divine consciousness firmly locked on the rushing Ariel, and there were countless action pictures of Ariel being divided in his soul, and the fighting spirit flowed pictures, and even Ariel's breath and breath appeared in Meng Yang's soul in detail.

In a thousandth of a moment, Meng Yang accurately grasped the trajectory of Ariel's movements and the trajectory of his fighting qi, and his body reacted immediately, and the autumn water glowed with chaotic fighting energy, like an unpredictable lightning bolt.

"Glimps!"

Suddenly, the sword light of the autumn water completely obscured the figures of Meng Yang and Ariel, but it only lasted for three breaths.

The strongest caravan guards clearly heard the sharp tearing sound of sharp weapons cutting through the armor, as well as the unique sound of sharp weapons entering their bodies, and when the effect of the floating light faded, they were surprised to see Monyan and Ariel standing back to back, both of them like clay sculptures, Monyan facing the level, and Ariel facing them, with a look of horror, but neither of them moved.

"What's going on?"

For some reason, the guards suddenly felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, Meng Yang suddenly took a light step forward, and then the caravan guards saw their captain, Lord Ariel, suddenly fall to the ground, and before he could completely fall to the ground, his body suddenly fell apart.

The head was broken off from the neck, two arms fell off, and two legs were broken at the knee, and at the same time, Ariel's body suddenly shattered into seven or eight pieces, and as the blood gushed, the flesh and blood spilled, and the fragments of liver and intestines were scattered all over the ground!

"Shhh

The arrogant caravan guards gasped in unison, all of them as earthy as they were, and they were horrified.

Ariel's strength and combat effectiveness are too strong, and it is precisely because of this that the Dulong Branch will rely on them as a guard. If it weren't for the fact that this shipment was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, they wouldn't have been able to dispatch at all.

But now that Captain Ariel had been beheaded, amputated, and shattered in the blink of an eye, the blood stained the sand, and the guards didn't know how to describe how they felt at the moment.

"Alright, since I was lucky enough to win this duel, let's write off the previous matter. For the sake of this guard who has worked hard for a few days to deliver goods to me, these few gold coins, you take them back, it is my little compensation. Please reply to your shopkeeper, and say that if you want to deal with my Dragon Ruins for a long time, you must teach your subordinates to abide by the rules of Dragon Ruins, and this incident should give you a reminder. Stepping into the Dragon Ruins, unruly, this is the end!"

"Dang!"

Meng Yang casually threw a bag of gold coins, and landed on the bluestone next to the fragment of Ariel's stump with a crisp sound, and Meng Yang immediately waved his hand: "Okay, now you can transport the goods into the checkpoint!"

It wasn't until Meng Yang entered the door for a long time that a group of sluggish guards stepped forward tremblingly, and a deputy captain picked up the money bag, opened it, and gasped, because there were as many as 10,000 gold coins in the money bag.

Because Ariel's body was too fragmented to be buried, the deputy captain temporarily took the position of captain, and said to everyone with a straight face: "Everyone, listen, from now on, everyone must abide by the rules of the Dragon Ruins." After the goods are unloaded, counted and handed over, we will return immediately. As for Captain Ariel's death, I will tell the shopkeeper when I go back, you don't talk a lot, do you hear?"

"Yes!"

The convoy finally entered the Longxu level, orderly and orderly.

After the handover of the goods was completed, the Qige Chamber of Commerce evacuated Longxu. After that, Meng Yang immediately went to the Dragon Ruins Fort and hurriedly got up and lectured the craftsmen, slaves, and cooks.

Monyan briefly recounted the dispute of the day, and then said something that made the slaves' blood boil.

"I still say the same thing, the Dragon Ruins are my Mengyang's private territory, and no one can behave here. Most of you are my slaves, but I am not another lord, and I treat you first as ordinary people, and then as part of my flesh and blood. Therefore, you are doing your best for me, in fact, you are helping yourself, and I will do my best to protect you and protect the Dragon Ruins!"

"I am the master of the Dragon Ruins, and you are the people of the Dragon Ruins, no matter what your identity is, as long as you fulfill the obligations of a people, I promise that you can be fed and clothed, and even let you marry a wife and have children, and reproduce. Let's work together to make the Dragon Ruins stronger and more prosperous! We want to make the Dragon Ruins a paradise for the Empire, are you willing?"

Thousands of slaves and craftsmen roared in unison: "I do! I do!"

"Okay, now go ahead and do your business. I declare that for every ten people tonight's dinner, one jar of wine will be allocated!"

Everyone thanked in unison: "Thank you, master, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Standing at the door of the wooden house, Ruo Yi's eyes showed a strange light, and she suddenly understood why Meng Yang had such a serious conflict with the people of the Siggy Chamber of Commerce who was extremely irrational, after all, for the powerful Sig Chamber of Commerce, the loss of a fifth-level warrior was not a small loss.

However, under the banner of upholding the laws of the empire and maintaining the dignity of the territory, Meng Yang perfectly resolved the turmoil in the form of a duel, which not only shocked the people of the Qige Chamber of Commerce, but also made the slaves of Longxu see the difference of his lord.

How can a lord who is willing to fight a duel with a strong hand for a few slaves, and a lord who treats slaves well, not be wholeheartedly supported by slaves?

If Yi is not an ordinary girl, her insight is very unique, she is a person who never ignores the power of slaves. Apparently, Monyan did this for the sake of the slaves, and in this almost brutal way, he told the slaves that following him, as a master, would be able to live in the same way as the commoners of the empire if they worked hard, and that the lord would protect them.

Seeing the big from the small, if you secretly admire Meng Yang's means of control, this is something that a young ordinary nobleman can easily do. Ruoyi became more and more curious about Meng Yang.

She observed that dozens of truckloads of this batch of goods were extremely heavy, like sophisticated armor and weapons, and it seemed that the number was at least more than 10,000 sets, and she couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Where did Meng Yang get so many gold coins? He spent so much money to buy so many weapons and equipment, and he built a lot of construction in Longxu, did he want to build a large army here?

He wasn't afraid of violating the laws of the Empire? Since he could casually say the laws of the Empire, how could he not know that a small lord like Longxu could only have a thousand private troops at most? What the hell does this guy want to toss in Longxu?

Ruoyi thought about it for a while, but still returned to the wooden house to meditate in peace, the most important thing in her heart was not the little lord of Longxu.

Because, this year is March 3892 of the White Dragon Calendar, and in nine months, she will be eighteen years old. And before that, she just wants to finish what she hasn't done.

The dragon ruins of the night were completely festive and carnival, more than a dozen huge bonfires were built in the open space of the camp, Meng Yang personally went into battle to roast meat for the slaves, those meats were relatively high-grade nutritious monster meat, some brave slaves and cooks gathered around him to try to learn Meng Yang's barbecue skills, Meng Yang did not hide his selfishness, and was very patient to explain and guide people.

Thousands of people gathered around the bonfire, eating meat in large chunks, drinking wine worth ten gold coins and a jar brought from Dulong City, and a few drunken slaves began to hum the old songs of the barbarian tribe in a whisper, and Meng Yang actually asked them to sing it loudly, without any scruples, because the Dragon Ruins were their home.

The slaves toasted their god-like lords with wine, the female slaves began to dance around the campfire, and the male slaves sang tribal songs loudly, and it was a joyous sight.

Old Ford and Andal had been carefully guarding Monyan's side, smiling at what was happening around them, not knowing what they were thinking.
