Chapter 799: Return to the Territory
Shao Diancheng's height is slightly shorter than Feng Liang, close to one meter eight, and the most impressive thing is that his face is round, his eyes are round, and his nose is round, and he looks very kind. August 1 Chinese ≈.
"Lord Hui, my subordinates were lucky, they only met a strong opponent in the final, and it took a lot of effort to defeat them and win the championship luckily. ”
His tone was tactful and confident, with a slight hint of "pretending".
At first glance, I think he is quite modest, and he won the championship because of good luck, but after tasting it carefully, he said that the strength of other players is mediocre, and the runner-up is okay.
"Winning the championship is amazing, 200 counties and 4,000 cities across the country, and tens of thousands of players stand out, proving that you have the strength to be proud of a generation. Ding Kui was quite envious, thinking that he was only ranked tenth back then.
"In front of the adult, the subordinate is just a recruit, and the past honor is the beginning of the adult's cultivation of the subordinate, and the subordinate is willing to follow the adult to gain merit in the enemy. ”
Shao Diancheng is not as arrogant as Shao Dianfei, and he is not soft at all when it is time to shoot Sima Pi.
He knew that Ding Kui was the sky in the royal outpost, and the champion was just a floating cloud for Ding Kui, and it was not as good as the friendship and acquaintance of the son, who could shorten the distance with the chief.
The army of the clan mansion is not so easy to enter, and the outstanding children of the Shaodian clan will be selected, and the position of captain is not given casually, and the strength, qualifications and relationships are all indispensable.
Shao Dianfei was the runner-up of the knight competition six years ago, and now he has been promoted to fearless, and can participate in the princess's wedding, and is the most qualified one among the three; Shao Diancheng is the champion two years ago, the contemporary leader of the Shaodian clan, he has been in the boot camp for a year, and he cannot achieve such results without a certain background; Shao Dianye is the first of the three to enter the boot camp, and his personal strength is equivalent to that of Shao Diancheng, because he did not participate in the knight competition because of his family relationship.
"Well, I didn't arrive so soon, you don't need to rush to the Hump Mountain Pass, at least a thousand soldiers will be required to establish a royal outpost.
In this way, I will give you a task first, temporarily take Shaodian Fei as the goal, march from the capital to the Giant Sheep City, and wait for my next order in the City Lord's Mansion after arriving at the destination. ”
Ding Kui couldn't take these three people with him, at least not until he became his henchmen, so he arranged for them to conduct marching training.
This trip lasted for almost two months, and they could encounter various marching environments, so they didn't have to worry about their ability to lead the march in the future.
After the nobles' conference, the nobles from all over the country continued to return to the territory, and the father and son of the protector were busy arranging some matters for the old department of the Ding family to go to Juyang City.
"Don't you really go to Giant Sheep City to have a look?" Ding Kui asked his father.
"When have you ever seen a high-ranking nobleman go to see the territory of a low-ranking nobleman? Duke Long has been to Shuanglong City? You don't need to persuade me anymore, after I am busy with the affairs of the capital, I will go back to the old mansion first, tell the ancestor about your wife, and then go to Lu Kingdom. "Ding Qi is very stubborn.
"Alright then, I'll accompany you back to the old mansion. Ding Kui was helpless.
"No need, there are still many things waiting for you to preside over in Giant Sheep City, and besides, how can you have children if you are running around with your wife and concubine? It is estimated that Ding Qi cares most about whether Ding Kui has children.
Lu Ji was not in a hurry to return to Xiaxi Town, the Invisible Sword Pavilion had already recruited more than 100 apprentices, and it was an important moment to lay the foundation. Because it was inconvenient for Ding Kui to stay in the capital for a long time, he and Lu Ying stayed to take care of the martial arts hall, thinking about making the martial arts hall famous first.
Ding's Children's Paradise was rented at a high price by the clan government, and all craftsmen involved in the construction were strictly forbidden to help people outside the royal family build the same thing, and the gadgets that Ding Kui had configured could only be used by the royal family.
In late October, Zhong Wei led a squadron of guards to escort the maids and servants to Juyang City, accompanied by the old Qiantou master and apprentice, Ding Chuan, Ding Cai, Liu Yu and other cronies.
Ding Kui wants to take his wife and concubine to live in the territory, not only a few capable subordinates as before, and most of the followers who consider him the master must go with him.
However, the number of people who are eligible to use the portal is limited, except for a few people, they have to travel through the state and county to the Giant Sheep City, and all the people who are slower are arranged in this group.
With only a little more than two months to go before the New Year, and Ding Kui specially arranged for the old money head master and apprentice to accompany him to ensure that they could arrive on time.
At the beginning of November, Ding Kui entered the palace to bid farewell to the king, and Shaodian Dan was obviously not very happy, and then issued an order to remove his son-in-law, the crown prince, from the title of washing horses.
"This is bad news and good news, the Tang family and the indigenous nobles will not pay so much attention to me in the future, I am not the prince washing horses, it doesn't matter which prince I come into contact with. Ding Kui comforted himself.
"It's impossible for you to fulfill your duties far away in Giant Sheep City, and it's fair for my father to do this. Anyway, you don't have an official position, do you want the palace to subsidize you with private money?"
"Save it, it's good if you don't ask me for money to spend, and you still expect you to subsidize me? In the future, you will take care of the affairs of the capital's industry, and learn how to manage a family well." Ding Kui didn't know what his wife was capable of, so he decided to try her first.
Ding Kui and his wife and concubine took a limited number of servants to Nanjing City directly through the portal, and first went to visit Nannuma Prefecture.
Although Shao Dianxi is the elder of the princess, he has no support in front of the king's flesh and blood, and it is easier to know that the king can change the state pastor at any time than to change a ministerial-level official.
No city can be alone, communication with the surrounding area is very important, the state governor can't manage the affairs of the noble territory, but you can manage the area around you, and it is important to have a good relationship with him.
Giant Sheep City is returned to Ding Kui, and Shao Dianxi's small part of his income is also one less burden, which is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, the only thing that worries Shao Dianxi is the safety of the eldest princess.
He knew that Ding Kui had been assassinated twice by a sixth-level combat power, and that the Giant Sheep City in Nanqiu County was not a safe place, and that high-level combat power who might infiltrate foreign countries at any time, so he repeatedly retained Shaodianluan, hoping that the eldest princess would live in Nanjing City for a long time.
Ding Kui and the eldest princess live in Nanjing City and can also manage the Giant Sheep City, there are magic communication arrays in both places, urgent news can be delivered in time, and when needed, they can ride a fast horse and go in a few days.
However, the kindness of the state pastor was rejected by Ding Kui, it is better to live in Nanjing than to live in the capital, and the money for going back and forth through the portal is not a problem, but it is inconvenient to manage the things that cannot be put on the table in the territory.
After three days in Nanjing, Ding Kui and his entourage set off for Juyang City.
Fei Ze and Ao Yu greeted the return of the city lord outside the Giant Sheep City, and thousands of people came to welcome their new lord.
"Master, the princess's annex in the city lord's mansion has been rebuilt. "Fei will report first.
"Oh, so fast, how long have you been back?" Ding Kui was very surprised, and still greeted the leaders on both sides of the road with a smile on his face.
"The former city lord Zheng received the king's will, and at that time he started to rebuild the city lord's mansion, and when his subordinates returned here, the princess's annex was almost completed. The subordinates made minor adjustments according to the style of the Hou Mansion, and the new Princess Annexes met the standards of the Clan Mansion. ”
Zheng Huan, such a rigid person, would not think of building a princess annex, it should be the idea of the Kong family, as the top family of the kingdom, the children of the Confucian family have been concubines and have experience in building the princess courtyard. There are two princess palaces in Wenguo County, Nannuma Prefecture.
"So that's the case, there's no chaos in the city, right?" Ding Kui is now the owner of Giant Sheep City, and everything that happens in this land is related to him.
"Everything is under your control, your subordinates asked Xue Chong to select 500 elite caravans to take over the security office; after reviewing all the information of the city defense army, all the unqualified officers and soldiers have been persuaded to retire; all the assets of Juyang City have been sealed, and all land has been registered; after preliminary ......counting, Fei reported the situation of Juyang City from memory.
"Okay, okay, stop, talk about this slowly in the future, just don't make a mess. I trusted you to let you come back first to hand over, no one bothered you, and the rest was easy to handle. Ding Kui is not worried about Fei Ze's ability, only about external interference.
"Foreign merchants have long wanted to visit you, but there are too many people who want to visit you, and their subordinates have prevented them from causing trouble, and have arranged for them to arrive at the city lord's mansion in batches in three days; ”
"I will arrange for the eldest princess to openly inspect the barracks, just set it for tomorrow, the journey is tiring, and I will rest tonight. ”
There is no direct connection between the regular army and the nobility, and a noble city lord can refuse the stationing of the regular army, but everyone knows that the first brigade has a special relationship with Ding Kui, and the first brigade does not worry about the station.
Ding Kui asked the princess to inspect the troops, which made it easier to gain the identity of the first brigade, although it was impossible to incorporate the regular army as his own private army, but when it was useful, he could dispatch the first brigade.
"Is Brother Yu still used to it?" he actually wanted to ask about Ao Yan's situation.
"The place where I live is bigger, but you don't have anyone to talk to me about, it's so boring. Ao Yu learned to hint when he spoke, suggesting that Ding Kui should not forget to cultivate and improve his cultivation, and did not hear Ding Kui's subtext.
"Rest assured, your boring days won't last long. Ding Kui is full of confidence.
Back in the Giant Sheep City, the key person Shao Dianluan is by his side, and he has a lot of attempts to make in an environment where the water element is abundant, and he believes that his cultivation can break through in a short period of time.
Dreadnought can't defeat Ao Yu in the late stage, and only by advancing to the Juggernaut Knight and Forbidden Mage can he have a chance to defeat the sealed dragon.
After the last time he had studied with Shaodian Luan, he had a new understanding of the fire element and a deeper understanding of the direction of magic cultivation, and he did not dare to make a bold attempt due to the environment of the capital.
Now that he is back on his own turf, he can do whatever he wants, plus he can ask Ao Yan for advice, he feels that he can step into the peak tower opening mage level in a short period of time, and how to rush to the level of the forbidden mage is the focus of his next research.
With the return of the lord, the giant sheep city has entered a new era.
