"Jiang Xingchen is eighteenth year old, should we go to congratulate him?" spoke of a middle-aged man, and his territory was next to Xingchenling.

"Congratulations on what?" Another man who looked like a big man sneered: "Didn't you see that the Marquis of Dingbei has left, the entire territory of Hongyuan City has been taken over by the empire, and the next lord doesn't know who Lu Dao is!"

"So what, what does it have to do with Jiang Xingchen, we are next to his territory, in the future, if he leaks a little bit of his hand, we will not have to worry about eating and drinking!" said a rickety old man.

"Hmph! I'm going to you, don't say I didn't remind you, no matter who comes to Hongyuan City, they will clean up the old situation little by little and develop their own people...... Jiang Xingchen is the hardcore of Dingbei Hou, do you think he will have a good life in the future, he is too close to him, there will be no good fruits to eat!" the big man sneered.

The middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning frowned and said, "No, you look at his star collar, it has been expanding continuously over the past year, this is not something that the Marquis of Dingbei can reward, it must be a high-level ...... the empire."

The rickety old man nodded and said, "It's very likely! Otherwise, how could he have improved so quickly?"

The big man said disapprerovingly: "You are all guessing, Jiang Xingchen and his father have been with our neighbors for many years, what is the situation in his family, don't you know what to do...... This kid is just a big luck!Besides, the high-level members of the empire are all clans, and they will have a good relationship with him as a rootless little hairy child, is it possible......"

These small villages are all located in the middle of nowhere, and they are bent on developing their own territory. In addition to paying taxes and grains and reporting to the management department, they can't go to Hongyuan City several times a year, and at most they go to the town to buy supplies. The message is relatively closed.

Of course, when Jiang Xingchen's territory expanded, they were all shocked, and they also sent people to Hongyuan City to inquire, and the result was that they learned that Jiang Xingchen had made a great contribution to the empire.

Of course, a few lords didn't believe it: "A little hairy boy can make a big contribution, but it is because of Xie Wanrou that he has been appreciated by the Marquis of Dingbei." Dingbei Hou deliberately lifted you, you have such a chance!"

They had always thought so, and they didn't know the specific situation of Lu Daojiang Xingchen. I don't know how famous Jiang Xingchen is in the empire at this time.

Dahan looked at the other people and continued: "Now that Dingbei Hou is leaving, who else can Jiang Xingchen point to...... There are so many good things in his territory, it would be strange if the new Hou Ye let it go! Let's prepare. Take refuge in the past earlier. Maybe you can get some soup!"

As soon as Dahan said this, whether it was the middle-aged man who spoke before, or the rickety old man in the back, his eyes lit up.

Over the past year or so, the development of the Star Territory has been obvious to all, and the lords of the surrounding territories have blue eyes with envy. Not to mention that people have good land, there are also ploughing cattle. Something like a columbia, but also a vegetable grow.

If it's an ordinary lord. They have already rushed up, and no matter what methods they use, they have to get those methods into their own territory.

However, they didn't dare to Jiang Xingchen, and there was Dingbei Hou standing behind them. After a year, not to mention anything else, but it was a knighthood, and he was promoted from a small baron to a second-class viscount, several ranks higher than them, and they were scared to death and did not dare to go.

But now, listening to the words of the big man, their minds are all alive, and this is an opportunity to soar.

"What do you say we should do?" the middle-aged man asked Dahan.

"Just keep your distance from him and not have a relationship with him?" asked the rickety old man as well.

"It's not good if you don't go, I can see that the tax collector of Hongyuan City, the children of the sheriff's family are here......" said another small lord.

Dahan said: "Of course you have to go, now Hongyuan City is still up to these families, we can't offend...... However, let's not give congratulatory gifts, just make a show! If you have the chance, try to scare Jiang Xingchen, it would be best if you could get the skill of growing vegetables!"

The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and interests are consumed, and all of a sudden several small lords are enthusiastic, and their minds are full of the development of their own territory and the appearance of making a fortune.

Several lords laughed, then got up and left one after another.

The sun was blazing the earth, but the people of Qingshan Village did not feel the slightest heat. In the lord's mansion, Jiang Xingchen had already taken out a second piece of ice, and one piece of ice was not enough to eat. Especially with Zhao Danqing and the second brother, the two foodies.

Last year, because Mei'er's body was weak, Jiang Xingchen still controlled and didn't let her, Nier, and Xin'er eat more, for fear that it would not be good for her health.

But this year, Mei'er has activated Yuanquan, and her body is no longer weak, so he will no longer care. The happiest thing is that Nier is a little girl, and this year she can finally eat with an open stomach.

The most exaggerated is Zhao Danqing, who shaved ice for the first time, ate a plate of shaved ice in three bites and two bites, and then ate the next plate immediately. Jiang Xingchen couldn't eat two bites by himself, so he had to get him a new one.

Wanru, Xin'er, Han Xiaowu They looked at Zhao Danqing's eating method on the side, and felt that they were all frozen and panicked.

After two pieces of ice, everyone ate almost enough, but Zhao Danqing was not enough.

The old man was shocked, glared and muttered: "Is this foodie a pure yang body, now that he has eaten more than 20 plates, it seems to be more fierce than Luo Yu's big foodie last time!"

After the worst, Jiang Xingchen had to make another piece of ice and make seven or eight dishes for Zhao Danqing's goods, and then it was over.

The rest of the ice, Jiang Xingchen put it in a box and threw it to Han Xiaowu, asking him to send it to Du Rushan, and cool them down to go to the summer.

Song Ning and several other students are now familiar with everyone, and they feel more and more close to Xingchen Ling, there is nothing wrong with eating, drinking, living, and playing here. They all felt that the decision to go home with Mei'er this time was too correct......

In the evening, Mei'er originally wanted to talk to her brother well, but Mo Hongxian, Sun Sanqiang, and Xie Wanrou pulled Jiang Xingchen and chatted until late at night.

The little girl was unhappy, but she also knew that Brother Lu Dao was talking about business, so she didn't bother.

June 29th passed, early in the morning of the 30th, the whole village was busy, today is the lord's eighteen-year-old adult birthday, of course, to do a big job.

All kinds of ingredients were taken out in the same way, and more than a dozen large stoves were quickly set up in the drying field of the village.

Today's meal, no matter what, Jiang Xingchen can't do it. Mo Hongxian was generous, and he actually transferred the chefs of the two major restaurants directly from Hongyuan City.

Jiang Xingchen was stunned when he saw the chefs of the two major restaurants coming, he didn't expect Mo Hongxian to do this, this time and again, the two major restaurants could not operate normally for at least three days, and the loss was not a small amount.

With the chefs of the two major restaurants, the villagers have their hands free, and the meals of more than 300 slaves ~ subordinates still need to be cooked, and the same is true for the 300 orcs.

The Duan family is responsible for the construction of the new town, so they don't have to worry about it, but Grandpa Fu still waved his hand and sent a large number of ingredients over there.

While the cooks were busy, dozens of round tables had been set up on the streets of the village, on which melon seeds, fruits, honey water, and snacks were all placed.

At this time, Mo Hongxian, Wanrou, and Zhao Danqing all gave their gifts.

They all knew that Jiang Xingchen was rich, and no one sent some valuable items, all he gave was his favorite strange things.

What Wanrou gave to Jiang Xingchen was a piece of stone, the size of a palm, bright yellow all over, crystal clear, warm and shiny.

"Tian Huang!" When Jiang Xingchen saw it, his eyes suddenly widened. Such a large piece of Tianhuangshi, if it is placed on the earth, it will be worth it for old age.

"It's a good thing, if this is made into a craft, it will definitely cause a trend among the nobility with a little means in the future...... That's a lot of money!"

Jiang Xingchen smiled secretly in his heart, immediately thanked him, and took Tian Huang with both hands.

Zhao Danqing sent a handful of black seeds, according to his description, this was found in the vast mountains, it seemed to be a vegetable, but he was not sure.

Jiang Xingchen thanked him, took it, and felt it, I don't know if it was too long and he couldn't feel the vitality anymore.

Next, Sun Sanqiang, the second brother, and the fourth brother all gave their gifts. Song Ning and the four of them were not empty-handed, but the things they sent were fine silk.

When Mo Hongxian took the gift after the last day, the second brother and the fourth brother covered their mouths and stared at Jiang Xingchen tightly.

What Mo Hongxian sent was a rectangular box, after Jiang Xingchen took it, he opened it and looked at it, and suddenly shuddered, and threw the box out with a shake of his hand.

"Poof! Haha......ha

Jiang Xingchen's forehead was full of green tendons, just now he opened the lid of the box, and there were black meat insects the size of his index finger inside, and the two sharp jaws opened and closed, making a piercing friction sound, and he could see that the hairs on his whole body stood up.

"Little brother, this is a good thing, sister, I took a lot of effort to find it...... This is the black silkworm, the number is very small, the silk woven from the silk it spits out is the best, there is no price, and the empire can't produce more than ten meters a year...... Of course, the silk of these silkworms is definitely not enough to weave silk, but can't you raise everything, hehe......"

Mo Hongxian reached out and took the box and explained with a smile.

"Oh?" Hearing Mo Hongxian's words, Jiang Xingchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he no longer cared about their jokes, and reached out and snatched the box back.

After taking a closer look, Jiang Xingchen also laughed: "Thank you, Sister Hongxian!"

At this time, a person from the earth-shattering mercenary group came and said to Jiang Xingchen: "Sir, the lords of several surrounding villages are here!"

"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "Please let them come in and sit down!"

Saying that, Jiang Xingchen didn't move, he was a second-class viscount, and of course he couldn't go to greet a few barons.

At this time, at the entrance of the village, the lords of several villages were looking inside with a smile on their faces! Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and a fast horse rushed to their side, and one of them turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "The Seventh Legion, come to congratulate Viscount Jiang Xingchen on his adult birthday!" (To be continued......
