After the snow melts, spring blooms in the blink of an eye.

As things recovered, the earthquake country was faced with even heavier clouds, and the influx of soldiers everywhere made the farmers who toiled in the fields uneasy, and the troops were mobilized everywhere, even if the soldiers would not do anything to the fields that had just been sown, but in the eyes of the farmers, the heavily armed soldiers themselves were a kind of terror.

After a winter of heavy snowfall, many roads that would not have been impassable in winter have been reopened, but fortunately, the two dukes who occupy the country have not made any major moves against each other, and many people speculate that this day will not be too far away.

As for the emperor who has a particularly thin sense of existence, no one cares, and even the vast majority of people don't even know who the current emperor's surname is, and what dynasty and generation it will be.

The eyes of the big nobles have not yet fallen on the borders of the country, like the kind of small lords who only have a few towns, in their eyes are not as important as the beauties on the stage, as for who killed whom today between the small lords, and where the war will start tomorrow, it is even more of a miscellaneous matter that they don't even bother to listen to, and in such a shadow, a small territory has also ushered in spring.

Spring on the colder northern border is also coming late, and the crops in the fields in the south of the earthquake country are already green, but spring planting in the north has just begun, and it is generally a month or a half late, and may even be delayed until mid-May.

This busyness entered June.

After June, all parts of the earthquake country began to usher in a large-scale warming from the south to the north, and a small step forward is summer.

A peaceful former Aral Sea territory without any waves, just like standing on the shore and laughing at the wind and waves of the sea, this year is quite smooth and rainy, and it will definitely usher in a good harvest year. What was even more pleasing was that there was no longer any more fighting, and the sudden increase in taxes had been adjusted to the same level, and for the peasants, peace was the only hope in their hearts.

Who would have thought that a few months ago, the territory was still in turmoil, and the sudden emergence of the territorial claimant occupied the nearby White Sea Territory with lightning speed, and used the forces of the White Sea Territory to break Ma Cheng's "army" and clear out the fearful pirates, after which, the new lord announced the merger of the two territories and named it Morning Star in the name of his earl's family.

It doesn't matter what the name of the territory is, the lords are concerned about their own lives, and to what extent the lord will affect their lives, and soon, the decree of the lord Earl Daystar was issued to every village and town, and under a piece of paper, most of the lords put their hearts down.

There is nothing original in the official document itself, it is roughly about the inheritance of the territory by the new lord, clearing up the previous injustices, allowing everyone to farm with peace of mind, and so on, anyway, as long as it is not a tax increase, any official document is happy, and no one took anything else said in the official document seriously at that time.

Who knew that in just half a month, several officials who colluded with the lord and acted in the previous two territories were arrested, and then the ones who were arrested were the bullies and scoundrels who ran rampant in the township, and spies in other territories, anyway, none of the people who were arrested were wronged, and everyone still didn't think there was anything wrong.

Ten days later, the less serious crimes of the bullies, hooligans, thieves and the like returned to their hometowns uncharacteristically, and they were honestly determined to change their minds and become new people, and the spies from nearby territories were not punished and drove out of the territory one after another, and then a terrible rumor appeared.

The first rumors to spread were the scoundrels and others who had slipped back to their hometown, and they began to work as if they were a different person, and under the curious questioning of the nearby villagers, someone finally revealed what they had seen during their interrogation in prison - the corpses dragged out of the dungeon.

They were terrified by corpses that could no longer be classified as humans, and for a few days they "accidentally" saw all sorts of corpses, all of which had different miserable appearances, and when they began to discuss whether or not to commit suicide to escape their terrible fate, a guy in the other cell revealed the "truth" to them.

The content of the "fact" is that Earl Daystar is a psychological twister who loves to kill, but he only extends his fangs to those who invade the territory, and now these are the same thieves who tried to rob a certain village not long ago, on the contrary, this count also has a perverted protection of his territory and people, and cannot be invaded by any outsiders.

Something that happened next proved that he was telling the truth, adjusting taxes, sending capable officials to govern villages and towns, surveying the ploughland, and sending people to assist in spring ploughing, a series of enlightened policies in stark contrast to the corpses dragged out of the dungeons.

At first, these rumors were indeed terrifying, but after a while, when people found out that the Earl had really done a lot for himself, they gradually accepted this twisted character of guarding the territory by any means necessary, but most people still stayed away from the Earl himself.

Earl's Court.

In fact, it was just the castle of the original Viscount of the Aral Sea, and after a series of changes, the number of soldiers in the new territory also increased slightly, and finally exceeded 500 people.

"Yo, bloodstained Daystar, are you back?

Shui Chaoyang, dressed in military uniform, strode over from the staircase, patted Qiu Wuyi's shoulder and laughed.

"She stayed in the mountains with me for too long, I told her to rest first, why did I have another nickname as soon as I came back from going out to practice......

Black lines suddenly poured out of Qiu Wuyi's forehead, I don't know if it's an illusion, the recent nickname is getting more and more terrifying.

"Haha, brother, you don't know yet, right? Not only is your nickname, but now even your life has been spread outside, especially the part about how you became so distorted, even I believe it after hearing it......!

Now Qiu Wuyi is already a lord, and the title is Earl Qiu Wuyi of Daystar, but Shui Chaoyang's attitude towards him has never changed, and no more people know about this matter.

At the beginning, when Shui Chaoyang ceded the status of lord to Qiu Wuyi, the brothers who rebelled with him were still a little dissatisfied, but Qiu Wuyi proved everything with his own strength, and also proved that only those with power can protect the land.

After the news of Qiu Wuyi's torture and killing of the thieves group spread, these people also felt scared, so they discussed with Shui Chaoyang one after another, and Shui Chaoyang's side naturally got Jiao Mu's guidance and dealt with it quite decently.

Shui Chaoyang has always controlled the army of the territory, Tianzhumen did not intervene too much as promised, and the others also became the leaders of the army, in the army, Qiu Wuyi's large investment and care once again proved his schizophrenia, so slowly everyone accepted it, everyone knew that the current lord is usually a good old man who is too good to be good, and once the territory is threatened, he will immediately become a mentally twisted demon.

In a sense, some people expect such a lord.

Naturally, any thief group is fake, but the arrest of the thief group is true, everything is under the arrangement of Tianzhumen, as for the body, it was also provided by Jiao Mu, and a fee was charged, on the grounds that according to the original agreement, the corpse should have been prepared by Qiu Wuyi himself.

The persistence of this person in some ways is also quite strange.

"Brother Shui, how is the army?"

After listening to a few rumors retold by Shui Chaoyang, Qiu Wuyi's head immediately became as big as a fight, and he didn't want to hear it anymore, so he hurriedly found an opportunity to change the topic. It is said that it is easy to be a lord, but now that he has discovered that it is indeed not difficult to be a lord alone, but it is not easy to shoulder the mission of carrying the blame.

"Don't worry! Okay! There are soldiers and generals, and the army's fields are almost planted, and I don't have much to do, but we still lack strong warriors here, but there is no way, let's take it step by step." ”

Shui Chaoyang is still the number one powerful person in the Morning Star Territory, but his daily routine is still the same as before, except that he has to plan and train troops every day, plus an additional salary issued by the lord, even in the territory, his popularity is still higher than Qiu Wuyi.

The subtle thing is that Shui Chaoyang's talent in leading the troops was unconsciously revealed.

These two people sang white face and black face, and they did get a lot of effect.

"Well, I have this idea this time, first, I want to know if Tianzhumen can provide some exercises, and second, I want to know if I can open up a business route with them, so it may take a long time to come back, and the matter of the territory will still trouble the eldest brother. ”

Qiu Wuyi poured himself a glass of water, holding the warm wooden cup and shaking it gently.

"Okay, if there's any trick to it...... Huh, brother, where are you going this time?"

Shui Chaoyang grinned happily, if he could do it, it would be tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, but just when he was starting to be happy, he suddenly realized that Qiu Wuyi was going to travel far again.

"I don't know yet, tomorrow...... No, I'll set off with Berryberry in a few days, from the harbor side, and the boat may be ready, with her. ”

Qiu Wuyi roughly explained the future itinerary, it is true that these things have to be discussed with Tianzhumen, but the real goal is not here.

The territory has now fully stepped on the formal, and there will not be much change in the next half a year, just take this time to accept the test of joining the Tianzhu Sect, and after joining, it is time to ask them for information.

A few days later, the black carriage stopped at the door of the Lord's Mansion, and the Kuro Merchant, who had caused many people to feel uncomfortable, reappeared in front of Qiu Wuyi after disappearing for a while, and today, her job is to be a guide.

The time to really get in touch with Tianzhumen has finally arrived.
