Chapter 211: Can You Sell Me a Lonely Island?
Gu Yan casually handed the sleigh under his feet to the entourage behind him, since he knew how to sled, he felt that it was not convenient to hurry.
Jian Shiming took him into the house, and as soon as he entered, he felt that the cold air around him was missing.
"Master Gu."
Jian Shirou handed a cup of hot ginger tea to Gu Yan, and Gu Yan felt that Fang Yan's hand, which was still cold, gradually became conscious.
Looking at Tao Xi and Jian Shiming, who were sitting opposite, Gu Yan remembered the scene he saw at the entrance of the village again.
The neat guards patrolled in turns, and even a tall wall was built outside.
Because it was winter, Taoxi and they were not able to make a big move, so they used a watchtower built of wood.
This patrol is comparable to a stockade, and even Gu Yan saw that there seemed to be archers in the village.
"Brother Gu."
Jian Shiming recalled Gu Yan's thoughts, he took a sip of hot tea, and said, "I haven't found time to thank you before."
If it weren't for you, our Yunxian County wouldn't have been able to tide over the difficulties so easily. ”
"Brother Gu is serious, there are so many towns and villages under Yun County, we can't help too much."
Jian Shiming has recently studied the surrounding areas of Yun County, and they should actually belong to Qingshui Town, which is at the bottom of Yun County.
However, because there are many villages that have fled, many villages have settled down one after another, and the county commander is busy bald, and they have not yet been officially divided.
And there are still many towns in Yunxian County, Gu Yan is busy, where can he have time to visit.
Now that I'm here, I'm afraid that the matter of Yunxian County has been dealt with.
Sure enough, Gu Yan had a smile on his face, "No matter what, thanks to you."
When I came over, I saw that there were archers at the entrance of your village? ”
"Yes."
Jian Shiming quietly pinched Tao Xi's little hand on his side to stop her from speaking, but said to Gu Yan:
"Everyone has fled, and with the heavy snow, some people can do everything under hunger.
So we consulted with the village chief and sent out a team of guards to defend the village. ”
He didn't dare to push Tao Xi in front of Gu Yan, because he wanted to protect her, and Tao Xi's heart was warm.
It seems that the heart of this male protagonist has been warmed by her, and he no longer has to worry about her life.
"I see."
Gu Yan nodded, not paying too much attention to it, after all, the guards in Yun County were well-trained, and they were much more well-trained than the men in the village.
He smiled and looked at Tao Xi, "I don't know if my sister-in-law has thought of a reward?" ”
The reward that King Jing said earlier was still in effect, and Tao Xi's mind flashed.
"Master Gu, over our back mountain, how many islands are there behind it?"
When she went to Yun County to sell things before, she heard people talk about it, and even took the opportunity to quietly flip over and take a look.
The other side of the mountain was full of fishermen, and Tao Xi didn't notice these at all because he just settled down and only wanted to live.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "There are a few isolated islands, but the side that crosses your deep mountain does not belong to Yun County." ”
Yun County is not near the sea, but the fish county next to it is indeed near the sea, and it is not as easy as Tao Xi said.
No one dares to climb over this deep mountain, the deep mountains are full of big animals, and it is a hundred kilometers to go around from Yunxian to Yuxian.
He didn't know that Tao Xi, who was a master of art, had already been there, and asked curiously:
"Sister-in-law asks what this is for?"
"That lonely island is ownerless?"
Tao Xi was a little moved, and the thoughts in her heart gradually took shape, no matter whether she drew a clear line with Jian Shiming in the future, that side could be built into her retirement place.
"Yes, it's just that the island is dangerous."
Gu Yan frowned, guessed Tao Xi's thoughts, and immediately said: "That isolated island is very barren, and the fishermen didn't want to go over there to open up the wasteland.
But there are unknown animals on the desert island, as well as poisonous weeds and the like, and everyone will give up over time, but the desert island is indeed our Qianshun Mansion. ”
Yun County and Yu County both belong to Qianshun Mansion, Tao Xi's heart is hot, thinking of the resort island in his previous life, he hurriedly said:
"Master Gu, I've already thought of a reward, if you can, can you sell me a lonely island?"
Jian Shiming and Gu Yan looked at Tao Xi in surprise, and even Jian Shiming and Jian Shiyi were incredible.
Tao Xi cleared his throat and continued: "Don't worry, I'm a woman, so naturally I won't recruit troops and buy horses, which is not good for Dafeng." ”
Gu Yan: ......
He said with difficulty: "Sister-in-law, that isolated island is deserted and uninhabited, and there is nothing. ”
"I know."
Tao Xi looked serious, "But I have a useful value, if there is a need, I can sign the deed, and it will definitely not be unfavorable to Dafeng." ”
Jian Shiming came to his senses and hurriedly said to Gu Yan: "Brother Gu, I really don't want to hide it, since the famine year, my wife really doesn't want to live a life of exile.
With this desert island, no matter what happens, there is always a place of its own. ”
"Yes!"
Tao Xi nodded, "When there was a big drought, there was actually not a lot of food at home, and we could also hold on to our feet.
But along the way, we will encounter either mountain bandits or homeless people and robbers, and we will not be able to defend it at all. ”
She said it very bluntly, but Gu Yan understood what she meant, but he still frowned in embarrassment.
"Although the island is not big, if I sell it to you, I don't have the permission."
This is not a small Zhuangzi, it is a thief, which is equivalent to a fief.
Gu Yan sighed, "I'll send a letter to King Jing, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on King Jing." ”
"Then thank you, Lord Gu."
Tao Xi regretted in his heart, ancient times are not better than modern times, land control is much stricter, if it is in modern times, as long as the money is in place, it is not difficult to buy a desert island and make it a resort.
But Gu Yan is willing to help fight for it, which is already good for her.
Because of this incident, Gu Yan was very worried when he went back, and he didn't even keep Jian Shirou to keep him for dinner.
He hurriedly returned to Yunxian County and drafted a letter to fly a pigeon.
After Gu Yan left, everyone in the Jian family looked at Tao Xi in surprise at this time, as if they were waiting for Tao Xi to explain.
Tao Xi touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, and before he could speak, Jian Shiming said quietly:
"You haven't already crossed the mountain to see the island, have you?"
She is now determined, and she is afraid that she has a plan in her heart.
Tao Xi grabbed his hair again in embarrassment, met the accusatory eyes of everyone, and said:
"Yes, I did!"
"What?"
Jian Shirou was startled, "Sister-in-law, how dangerous the deep mountain is, you really crossed the mountain?!! ”
It is particularly unsafe for the villagers of Taomu Village to go over the mountains, and her sister-in-law not only passed, but also came back over the mountains!
Tao Xi smiled wryly: "I found the nearest way, bypassing the dangerous place, and the back and forth was very fast, but it was only an hour." ”
Previously, the system deducted so many points from her, and she coerced to use it, so the system gave the optimal route.
She thought that being idle was also idle, so she made an excuse to go and go and see it quietly.
