Over time, more than twenty people have taken the stage to challenge.

Without exception, no one can survive five moves.

No one expected that this little-known second prince would have such strength.

At this moment, the eyes of the audience were focused on the ring.

Lu Qi was holding the sword blade, standing there calmly, his clear eyes looking at the audience, which was as still as water.

And what emanates from the top and bottom of the body is a sense of oppression after twenty battles.

At this moment, the soldiers in the audience looked at him with a little more respect for the strong.

Next, no one stepped into the ring again, and stood there in silent silence.

Seeing this, Lu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If he was to do this again, he promised to show them on the spot.

In order to pretend to be this wave, Lu Qi used up at least the next five days.

Looking at the audience at this moment, the expression on Lu Qi's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Since no one is on the stage anymore, if anyone is still unwilling to serve as my close guard, you can move to the right." ”

The voice fell.

The soldiers in the audience stood motionless and made their own choices.

Obviously, Lu Qi has used his strength to impress them.

No one moved, and no one spoke.

A smile appeared on Lu Qi's face: "I hope that in the future, we can establish a relationship of mutual trust, and I will ask you to take care of you in the future." ”

Over there.

Tiana glanced at Lev next to her with a smile on her face: "This kid is not bad, is it?" ”

Lev nodded when he heard this: "Your Highness's swordsmanship is very exquisite, and in my opinion, your personal strength is no weaker than that of a fearless vanguard warrior." ”

Hearing Lev's words, Tiana's eyes showed a bit of reminiscence: "This kid's personality is just like you, he obviously hides a lot of ability, but he doesn't have any big ambitions, and he thinks about how to mess around all day long." ”

"But wasn't Your Highness also caught by the marshal?" A helpless wry smile appeared on Lev's face, and he also recalled the inexplicable promotion path back then.

Obviously, I just want to mix the subsistence allowance of the army, and then retire and live a stable life.

As a result, a promotion order fell on the head.

Next, the direct blow is out of control, and it goes all the way up like opening a hanging.

It wasn't until later that he realized that it had always been Tiana who had been working in the shadows, forcing him to take on the responsibility of every position he ascended to.

However, after all this time, Lev actually did not have many complaints in his heart.

Although his life plan has been disrupted, he doesn't hate his current life.

At this time, his eyes looked to the left, looking at Tiana, and there was a smile on his face unconsciously.

On the battlefield back then, a woman's sassy and heroic appearance left an indelible impression in his mind.

Back then, all he thought about was just looking at her from afar, as a small soldier.

didn't expect that one day, he could stand by her side.

That's it, that's enough, he's already content.

He looked at the stage again and looked at Lu Qi's figure: "Your Highness is much better than me, when I was eighteen years old, I am afraid that I am not as good as him." ”

At the age of eighteen, he was just a soldier with a dream of retirement, and had just joined Debang's army.

"You're being a little too modest, but this kid is good. Even without me, he wouldn't have been able to mess around like this. ”

Tiana looked at the stage with the same eyes, and at this moment, there was a little more emotion in her eyes.

This stinky boy's life is destined to be colorful.

Some things won't be as simple as he thinks.

Thirty minutes later.

Three hundred soldiers, neatly arranged, stood in front of a statue.

This outstretched winged statue is full of holiness and sacredness, and is the "winged patron saint" believed by the Demacian people.

She represents justice and judgment, and has the divine power to cleanse the world from all impurities.

And here, three hundred soldiers, solemnly swore an oath.

From this moment on, they will assume the posture of His Royal Highness's close guard, vowing to follow in his footsteps.

If you break your oath, you will one day be judged by the Winged Patronus.

The Demacians value oaths, even if they are a light promise, if they are said in front of the Winged Patronus, then he will definitely fulfill them.

Not to mention, something like this solemn oath.

The 300 soldiers present all followed Lu Qi from the bottom of their hearts.

And the three who also took the oath were Quinn, Wayne and Frey.

Frey didn't know why a Freljord would swear an oath to a Demacian god, but as a former shaman.

The word "god" is also sacred in her mind, no matter what country it is.

After taking the oath, Lu Qi officially had three hundred soldiers.

At the same time, Tiana has also found a pro-military camp for Luqi.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, she arrived here with Luqi and a group of personal soldiers, and it was a small fortress.

"This place is not smaller than the family of the fourth boy, there is no problem if it accommodates you three hundred people, but the place is an official family, and it is not too much to ask for two thousand rents a month, right?"

Tiana looked at Luki with a charitable smile.

Lu Qi also looked at her: "Auntie, do you think I look like that kind of rich second fool?" ”

Hearing this, Tiana glanced at him seriously, and then nodded: "Like." ”

Lucci: "."

You can't talk about it this day.

Now he understands, too.

The house prices in Demacia are not expensive, what is really expensive is the price of gold, and these gold coins have an extremely high gold content.

With a rent of two thousand a month, this mouth is even darker than a black-hearted businessman.

Kill ripe, right?

And I'm not just an official, am I?

I am a dignified son, and I still have to pay for my own land?

Looking at Lu Qi's gaze at this moment, Tiana said: "The prince has to pay the same money, but for the sake of your relationship, I will give you half a discount, a thousand rents a month." ”

Lu Qi sighed: "One thousand a month, one thousand a year, one thousand or two, then I might as well buy it directly." ”

Tiana's smile was even bigger: "It's okay, this whole set of fortresses, if you count it down to 50,000 gold, you can take it." ”

Seeing that the old lady was asking for a price as soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Qi refused to talk any further.

"Forget it, I'll look for a place again, this king is so big, isn't there a place where my three hundred soldiers can stay?"

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

"Ugh."

Seeing this, Tiana sighed and changed her words: "Nine hundred a month!" ”

Lu Qi turned around and spoke: "Two hundred! ”

“？”

This time, it was Tiana's turn to put a question mark, "Two hundred a month, I'll just give it to you." ”

Lu Qi nodded: "It's not impossible. ”

Tiana sneered, staring at him without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Qi suddenly didn't dare to be skinny, and raised the price: "Five hundred? ”

Tiana shook her head: "Eight hundred and five! It couldn't be less. ”

Lu Qi thought for a while: "Six hundred, I'll give the money now." ”

Tiana said decisively: "Deal." ”

Seeing that the old woman agreed so happily, Lu Qi directly secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

It's broken, but the price is still high!

Although this place is not smaller than the fourth, but the location is remote, and at first glance, no one rents/buys it all year round, and today I finally found an opportunity to dump it at him.

Got pitted!!

The thought of this made Lucci's heart ache so much that he couldn't breathe.

Seeing his expression, Tiana glanced at him: "You kid makes so much money a day, is it just six hundred gold?" In the past, spending money was the same as throwing it away, and I didn't see how uncomfortable you were. ”

She knows that this kid has a lot of money now, and he makes a lot of money every day.

Earn to a level that even she envies.

First of all, the newspaper is still hot in the royal capital, and every issue is basically sold out.

And it seems that he has recently begun to plan to expand to other cities outside the royal capital.

Not to mention, he also came up with an advertising model, and some businesses have to pay a lot of money if they are willing to buy an advertising space in the newspaper.

And then there's the bicycle, which is a gold-absorbing tool, more direct than the newspaper.

A pile of iron is made into two iron carts, and the price of the backhand is increased tenfold or twenty times to be sold.

Recently, I am still engaged in three-wheeled and four-wheeled ones, and the sales will definitely not be bad by then.

If neither of these two is nothing, then there is one that is more profitable.

Those were the two wines that were given to the Laurent family.

This thing, wherever it is placed in the Land of Runeterra, is hard currency, and it is not to be sold at all.

And this thing is even more profitable, plus the taste is really good, and it is a random killing in the market.

The most important thing is that there are many different kinds of things left in this kid's basement.

What was placed there was no longer wine, but mountains of gold one after another.

He didn't know how envious he looked every time he went to the basement to secretly get a drink.

Lu Qi said solemnly: "It has nothing to do with the amount of money, this is a matter of principle!" ”

Tiana sneered, "What are your principles?" ”

"My principle is that there is no principle."

Lu Qi coughed dryly and said, "I'll send the money later." ”

"Okay, if you know them, I won't bother."

Tiana smiled with satisfaction, reached out and rubbed Luci's head, and then left looking in a good mood.

Looking at the old woman's back, Lu Qi sighed helplessly.

In the next time, it is natural to get acquainted with his personal soldiers.

He first got to know everyone and memorized their names.

Lu Qi's memory is actually quite good, but he is lazy, and he is too lazy to remember many things.

But the names of these pro-soldiers, it is still necessary for him to remember.

After all, they will be the ones who trust themselves in the future, and they are also the ones they can trust.

Then, according to his strength, he began to assign the squad.

Lu Qi planned to divide the three hundred men into three companies according to the system of the dreadnought vanguard.

Quinn, Wayne, and Frey are in charge of each other.

And each company is divided into fourteen squads, each team of seven people.

With these six extra people, it's another small detachment.

Then choose a captain from each squad.

If the number of pro-soldiers increases in the future, Lu Qi will make up the squad to eight people.

For now, that's it.

After the assignment, Lu Qi gave the first task.

That is to clean up this fortress.

The place that the old woman rented to him for six hundred gold could be said to have not been cleaned for a long time, and at a glance, it was dusty and dirty everywhere.

In the corners of the wall, you can also see some spider webs.

The place is indeed very large, let alone accommodate 300 people, I am afraid that there is no problem for 1,000 people.

This fort is surrounded by mountains in the form of architectural circles, and there are many buildings like this in the mountains of Demacia.

The advantage is that you stand against the mountain, and you don't have to build the foundation or anything, just build it directly.

And in the event of a war, this style of fortress is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It must have been inhabited by an army of 1,000 men or a private army, as there were many rooms for people.

About 100 years ago, during the reign of Govin I, the army was allowed to be privatized.

Because of this rule, many nobles at that time had their own private army.

Whenever there was a time of war, the nobles would lead their private armies into battle.

And this privatization of the army was abolished in the later years of the first life, of course, it cannot be said to be abolished, it can only be said to be modified.

The first was to stabilize the royal power, and the other was to prevent infighting among the nobles.

So it was changed to determine the number of private armies according to the rank of nobility.

The maximum is not more than 1,005.

To this day, some nobles still have a certain amount of private armament in their hands.

At the time of the coronation of King Gavin III, the nobles also used it to carry out a struggle for secession.

In order to stop this, Gavin III announced that he would end the secession struggle by marriage.

So, he married Catherine, who was in the Irish family at the time, and soon gave birth to Gavin IV.

Unfortunately, on the night of Gawain IV's birth, his mother died in childbirth.

Later, it was Noxus that did the trick and launched the invasion war.

However, the result of this war was naturally a great victory for Demacia, and it was in this war that there was Luki.

If you want to clear such a large fortress, even if three hundred people work together, it will take a lot of effort.

After all, all the soldiers present knew that the next fortress would be their home for a period of time to come.

Therefore, when cleaning up, it is natural to be careful.

In this matter, Lu Qi was naturally not idle, and he also contributed his strength.

After a while, a carriage slowly drove into the fortress and then stopped.

In the carriage, Fiona, Lux, Kacina and Sana slowly descended.

It was Luki who asked Yuna to pick them up.

Seeing the women, Lu Qi stepped forward with a smile on his face, and without saying anything, he stuffed a broom, mop or rag into them.

"I'll leave it to a few of you."

“？？”

Lux looked at the mop in her hand and put two question marks, "You called us here just so we could clean you?" ”

Lu Qi nodded: "That's right." ”

"I'm not going to do it! I'm already tired enough after a day of school today, such a big place, when do you have to sweep it! ”

Lux threw the mop on the ground, her face full of displeasure.

She had just finished school from the Royal Academy when she was picked up.

I thought it was something, but it turned out to be cleaned.

This fortress is so big, she can't sweep it all when she is tired.

All she wants to do now is lie down in her chair and rest!

Lu Qi smiled: "Two sugar gourds." ”

Lux paused, looked at the mop on the ground, and hesitated with a small expression.

Luch added, "Add a pudding. ”

Hearing this, Lux silently bent down, picked up the mop again, and then walked to the wall on the side, dipped it in water, and directly opened the brush.

Then Luci looked at Fiona, Kahina and Saina.

In the face of his gaze, Kahina rolled up her sleeves, revealing two smooth arms, and she said energetically: "Then work hard together and strive to clean up today!" ”

Sana nodded with a smile, indicating that she was also willing to help.

Fiona smiled slightly: "Two sugar gourds and a pudding, but you can't buy me." ”

Lu Qi looked at her: "Then what do you want?" ”

Fiona's cold eyes flashed: "Recently, I feel that my shoulders and waist are a little sore." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at her, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll give you acupuncture again in the evening." ”

Fiona picked up the mop and stepped aside.

Cleaning has officially begun.

However, Lux, who had been wiping the wall for a while, was a little upset when she saw this guy Luqi hanging around leisurely over there.

"You called us in to help, and you ended up wandering around on your own, didn't you?"

Her eyes glared at Lucky.

Lu Qi glanced at her and said disdainfully: "In terms of your efficiency, can you compare with me?" ”

Lux gritted her teeth: "You clearly haven't done anything!" ”

Several other pairs of eyes also looked at it at this moment, and they were somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Qi's paddling behavior.

Looking at the girl's gaze, Lu Qi casually pulled out a sword blade he found, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's perform a unique trick for you." ”

As soon as he said this, several girls became a little curious.

Then they saw Luqi standing in front of the dusty wall, breathing calmly.

In the next second, he condensed a wind intent all over his body, and slashed out with his sword.

Call~!!

I saw a strong wind, which instantly blew out along the blade of the sword, and instantly swept away the dust on the wall and blew it to the other side.

When I looked at the wall, the dust had already cleared a lot.

Then, Lu Qi made another sword.

Call~!!

This second strong wind suddenly swept away the remaining dust and blew it to the other side.

Then Lucie picked up the bucket and threw it at the wall, and washed it twice, until the water stained the ground, but it was not very dirty.

He put down the bucket, turned around, looked at the stunned girls, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a dragon king smile: "How is it?" Are you convinced of this efficiency? ”

Girls: "."

They had nothing to say for a moment.

If you want to convince, they are indeed quite convinced.

Such a powerful wind resisting swordsmanship, and as a result, you used it to blow the dust on the wall?

It's pretty cool, though.

But why, it feels so down-to-earth!

But I shouldn't say it, this wind sword technique is used, and the efficiency is really rattling!

Blow it casually, it's the ash of a wall, blow it twice, then water it twice, and it's clean.

This efficiency is really full.

Lux glanced at it enviously, and then thought that she might be able to do the same in the future, and her mood immediately became good.

Then he picked up the mop and continued to paint the walls, thinking about the sugar gourd and the pudding, and couldn't help but work harder.

Lu Qi, on his part, also began to do things, repeating what he had just done.

The only thing that was a little laborious was that he felt that it was still a bit troublesome to splash the wall with a bucket.

At this time, it would be much more convenient for another water mage to recite a random spell and spray a large pile of water on the wall.

It's just that this thing doesn't work.

Everyone cleaned until it was already dark, the sun had set, and it was still relatively dark near night.

At present, even if 300 people work together, it is only less than one-third.

You know, this fort occupies a lot of land, and it is located on a mountain, so no one has taken care of it for so many years, so you can imagine how dirty it will be.

But no one is in a hurry, after all, for their future home, it is naturally good to clean up carefully.

In one of the fort's playgrounds, Luci had torches lit and a number of bonfires lit.

Tonight, he's going to have a barbecue.

As for the ingredients, he had already gone to ask Yuna to prepare them in the afternoon, and they were all ready by this time.

Together with the seasonings, there are enough for 300 people.

Then beer was also prepared.

The beer was picked up from the Laurent family, and the last bit of food in their warehouse was emptied.

And for the three hundred soldiers, tonight is destined to be an unforgettable night.

On this night, they tasted the best barbecue they had ever eaten in their lives, drank the most difficult beer to buy in the royal capital, and enjoyed drinking it.

Best of all, they also listened to a performance by Maestro Sana for free.

Accompanied by Suona's music, the soldiers gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing, which was very happy.

And in the second half of the drink, everyone had that feeling of being drunk, sitting together, chatting loudly.

Then laugh at those who can't drink and just drink and fall down.

At this moment, even if they are drunk, each of them knows it in their hearts.

From this day on, they are fighting for Luki.

And Lu Qi was sitting on the other side, holding a meat skewer in his hand, looking at the soldiers who were chatting freely, and his eyes were a little softer.

Until they had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, the soldiers decided to spend the night in the uncleaned fortress.

Some rooms are dirty, and they don't care.

After all, no one will dislike their future dirty, and after a day's cleaning work, their bodies are already quite dirty.

As for some living utensils, Lu Qi has already prepared them.

Such a large fortress, even Lu Qi can move here to live.

Still, he liked his little mansion and thought that he might be able to stay here for one night once in a while.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

The carriage drove slowly and stopped at the Ludge family's mansion.

"No matter, I want to take a shower!!"

Lux was the first to rush out of the carriage, and after an afternoon of cleaning, she was covered in a lot of dust, and she felt dirty herself.

And the girls present at the moment basically have the same thoughts as her.

There is no woman who doesn't like to be clean, and as early as the time of the barbecue, they have already begun to look forward to the hot springs tonight.

In a short time, the hot spring water in the backyard filled the entire pool.

With the sound of entering the water, the graceful bodies also sank into the water one after another.

Today's cleaning, everyone has spent a lot of effort, and it can be said that they have done a lot of physical work.

After being so tired for an afternoon, when they soaked in the hot spring pool with their somewhat tired bodies, they suddenly felt as if their bodies were about to melt.

This feeling of exhaustion is very comfortable.

As Lu Qi soaked in the pool, he could hear small moans of comfort coming from the right side.

It's quiet over there, and every girl seems to be enjoying the moment.

At this moment, he also passed the whole person through the water first, feeling the pleasant warmth of the hot spring pool, and washing away the fatigue in his body.

Then leaned to the side and enjoyed the night view tonight.

Soak for almost twenty minutes.

Luki got up and changed his clothes.

Then he went to the kitchen and began to prepare sugar gourds and puddings.

When he was almost ready, the girls were basically soaked, changed into clean clothes, and came to the living room.

The girls are sitting on the sofa in the living room at the moment, and the reason why they have just finished taking a bath is that they still exude a natural aroma and a smell of water.

On the table in the living room, there are many soft and glutinous puddings, as well as a large plate of sugar gourds with a bright red lustre.

This makes even the girls who had a barbecue not long ago have a great appetite at the moment.

The sweet tooth part is always enjoyable.

After enjoying the dessert.

No matter who they were, they all felt a laziness that began to grow and spread in their bodies, which made their hearts relax all over their bodies.

Lux ran to the front yard and lay down in a rocking chair, closing her eyes and raising the corners of her mouth.

Wayne, Quinn and Kahina feel that there is still a lot of time.

ran to the backyard and continued to practice the Thunder Sword Technique.

At this point, Fiona gave Luci a look.

Lu Qi understood, nodded, stood up, and walked to the massage room.

He had been preparing for a moment before he heard the sound of a door opening.

Looking back, Fiona walked in.

Although she didn't eat less sugar gourd and pudding, she obviously didn't plan to let go of acupuncture.

However, with acupuncture, Lu Qi did not suffer.

It's just a gratuitous gift.

Fiona sat down on the massage chair and took off her shoes. Two white and slender jade feet were exposed, and the pale instep revealed light cyan veins, which looked delicate and smooth.

After a period of Lu Qi's orthopedia, these feet can be described as extremely delicate.

After one glance, Lu Qi turned around in amusement, and then heard a rustling sound.

"Alright."

Fiona's voice came.

Lu Qi turned around again, and immediately saw a white and flawless jade with no clothes on his back, calmly revealing in front of him, with a slender waist that was very tight.

Because I just finished bathing, there is a kind of tender luster on this back, which looks crystal clear.

This back is indeed a good back.

Lu Qi admired it generously, and at the same time thought in his heart, one day, he would definitely leave a few fire pot marks on his back.

After two glances, Luki began to heat the needle.

Acupuncture is still the same as before, according to the acupuncture points used to treat back pain.

As Luki's first needle fell, Fiona's body trembled slightly.

Lying on the pillow, she was also trying her best not to make a sound at the moment.

It has been more than 20 days since the last acupuncture.

Now that I experience it again, the feeling of an electric current flashing through my body seems to be even more powerful.

However, as the silver needles fell, Fiona's ruddy complexion was replaced by enjoyment.

This acupuncture is much more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring.

After a while, silver needles were tied to Fiona's white jade back.

Lu Qi almost stopped and said, "Alright, I'll come back later." ”

Fiona, who was immersed in enjoyment, let out a soft "um" in her voice, which sounded more like moaning at the moment.

Lucci strode out of the room.

As soon as he left the room, he saw a figure.

The blue-haired girl on the opposite side was looking at him with big aqua blue eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Luki looked at Sana and asked.

Suanna's face was a little red at the moment, and she handed it over to Sanhua in her hand.

Luki put his hand on it and heard Sana's heart.

"Your Highness, I feel that my shoulders are starting to ache again."

Her voice rang out in a shy voice.

Sana also had experience with Luci's acupuncture, but she was still a little shy compared to Fiona, who had gradually become accustomed to it.

"It's been almost a month since the last acupuncture."

Hearing this, Lu Qi's eyes subconsciously glanced at Suona's chest, as if it was a little bigger.

Why didn't you see it yesterday?

It seems that because Sana has changed into thinner clothes at this moment, the dress she usually wears is dirty today, so she changed it.

The reason for Suona sore shoulders is easy to find, and it is normal for a long method like her to have sore shoulders.

"Come on, then."

Lu Qi decided to help her with acupuncture by the way, so he pushed the door open and walked back again.

Fiona, who was enjoying herself, opened her eyes casually, glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, and closed them again when she realized that it was Luki and Sona.

Sana naturally knew the process, and took the initiative to walk to the massage chair on the other side.

After taking off her shoes, her pair of jade feet, which looked smaller than Fiona, looked white and tender, and her five toes were naturally slightly folded, resembling lotus tips, delicate and lovely.

And Lucci turned his back as well.

When there was no movement behind him, he turned around again, and his eyes fell on Suanna's back, which was also amazing.

It's so big that I can't cover it when I'm lying on my stomach.

Her back looked very graceful, her skin was as delicate and silky as white glaze, and her curves were soft and even, and she seemed to have more flesh than Fiona.

This can't help but make Zhang Bei feel a little more plump.

Luki heated the silver needle, and Sana buried her head in the pillow, her face already red.

As the first silver needle fell, Suona's body trembled slightly.

At this moment, she was glad that she couldn't make a sound, otherwise, she would definitely let out an extremely shameful cry.

And as the silver needles on her back increased, Sana gradually immersed herself in this relaxed feeling.

Suanna, who has experienced it firsthand, knows that His Royal Highness's acupuncture has miraculous effects.

After the last acupuncture session, the shoulder ache she felt every day disappeared immediately.

It was maintained for a long time.

Actually, her shoulders aren't particularly sour today.

It's just that after seeing Lu Qi give Fiona acupuncture, she suddenly thought about it

And then I found this reason.

At this moment, as the silver needles fell, Suanna's mood unconsciously relaxed.

Ask for a monthly pass.

Also, let's make up a plus more rule.

For every 500 monthly tickets, the author adds one more chapter, and one chapter is counted according to the standard of 5,000 words.

I hope that the big guys will give you a lot of monthly passes!

(End of chapter)
