Xiaogui Village is located in the northeastern region of Diyili. It has a population of about a hundred people, all of whom make a living by farming, and their lives are barely enough to make ends meet. But as to why such a clumsy name is used, it is impossible to verify.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we were surprised to find that the small village Lashi mentioned was not small at all. It occupies two hilltops, with strips of green terraces drawn on the hills, and at the foot of the hills are the settlements of villagers. , village houses are dotted here and there, and there is a small river with a clear bottom next to it. It can be described as a beautiful and simple scenery.
Andre led the Flame Dragon Cavalry to station nearby, while Lu Yunfu, myself, and Masao followed Lily and the others to Xiaogui Village. Lu Yunfu put her arm around me, and we were like a couple in love. She took a deep breath and said happily: "I haven't felt so relaxed and happy for a long time. I never expected that there are so many outstanding people in Laxi's hometown."
"It's fake, it must be fake."
"Eh?"
"It's just because of the outstanding people. How could it be Rashi's hometown? It must be fake..."
"Master, can you build up some moral integrity?"
"Hehehehe... Okay, but to be honest, It's really poor here."
Ya Nan's face was dazed, and he looked around carefully. Lu Yunfu was also surprised, looking around with a pair of big blue eyes, and said puzzledly: "Master, why do you speculate on them? Very poor?"
"Speculation? Hahahaha... You can tell just by looking at the ground."
Masao's voice came from behind: "The ground? The ground is very clean."
"It's just too clean. Even if the countryside in the western part of the empire is not rich, There will also be cow dung or cow hoof marks on the ground."
Lu Yunfu and Yanan shouted "Ah" at the same time. There was no cow dung or cow hoof marks on the ground. Even the farmers here were so poor that they didn't even have a cow. Can't afford it.
After talking leisurely, when we entered the village entrance, we saw a large group of people gathering together.
The three of us looked at each other, and everyone was on guard. Since we didn't inform Dieri which way the officials were coming from, there was no way anyone would greet us. I saw that the crowd was divided into two groups. One group was composed of well-dressed villagers, numbering about a hundred people, and the other group was composed of fifty or sixty fully armed warriors, looking out for any disputes.
An old man who looked like an elder among the villagers, holding a cane, stood in front of the crowd and said: "Mr. Governor, we do not intend to delay taxes, but for some unknown reason this year, the farmland has not been able to grow good grains. Please bear with me." Give it a try."
A fat man on the other side, wearing blue clothes and a bad appearance, said in an arrogant tone: "Huh, farmland is still farmland, who can you blame if you don't work hard? Anyway, today you are If you have money, you have to pay, but if you don't have money, you have to pay someone!"
It seems that today is not a good day to go on a mission. Just when Lily and the others arrived, two groups of people also spotted them. A woman walked out of the crowd and rushed towards Lashi. Crying: "Rashi! Rashi! You are back, you are finally back!"
"Mom!"
Rashi shouted, running to the woman and hugging her. Most of the other villagers and warriors were shocked. The reason was because of Lashi's appearance, but the bigger reason was because of Lily. This girl deliberately wore an over-the-top cloak to hide a pair of long fairy ears, but her extraordinary beauty with strange eyes did not belong to this kind of rural place. It was like a goddess from the sky suddenly descending to earth, making everyone look dull. .
The fat governor's pupils were shining, he was drooling, and there was still a little bulge in his pants, but he immediately came to his senses and yelled: "Damn!! Didn't you say there are no beautiful girls in the village? Who are they? Come on! ", take it!"
"Yes!" the governor ordered, and there were already five warriors who wanted to capture Lily and the others alive.
I didn't expect that the officials in Diyili were so corrupted that they would rob civilian girls in broad daylight. Even lowly men like me or Yasado would not do it so blatantly. At most, they would do it secretly. Masanori, who was following far away, wanted to rush out to help, but I held her back.
Although Lily didn't bring a sword with her, with her skills, even twenty big men couldn't bury her. Three of the warriors attacked Rashi, Ibesha and Maro respectively. Rashi pulled her mother behind her, pulled the hand of the warrior who came over, and used a two-handed backhand to pull the one who was a head taller than her. The man fell hard to the ground.
Ibesha also grabbed the opponent's wrist, swiped his foot, and turned around to move his hands in a graceful way. The opponent spun around in the air and was also thrown to the ground. It was much worse to deal with the warrior Loma. When he was shocked to see his companion being attacked, Loma didn't even move his hand, and kicked him fiercely with a sun-breaking kick. With a "dang", the winner was decided. She The two big lumps of flesh on the chest were still swaying slightly.
Loma is indeed cruel and it hurts me to see him. Not to mention Lily, with her fast skills, even I can't see how she can defeat her opponent.
I smiled at Lu Yunfu and said, "The teaching was good. Did you teach it?"
Lu Yunfu smiled and said, "No, it was Lily who taught it."
If you don't have dementia, you should remember my family's rules, Yafan All the maids in the Di Mansion must learn martial arts. Even Rashi and Ibesa have to learn basic self-defense skills. They used to be taught by me, but now they are taught by Lily or Lu Yunfu. In addition to martial arts, they also learn basic housekeeping and etiquette.
Shocked to see his men being subdued, the fat governor's expression changed drastically. With a wave of his hand, five other warriors stepped forward with swords drawn. Lu Yunfu, Masao, and I are ready to provide support. After all, Rashi and Ibesa are not experts, and they will find it difficult to deal with samurai fighting with swords drawn.
Just when Lily was about to attack, five arrows flew across the sky and accurately hit the wrists of the five warriors, crippling their hands at the same time. The archery skills were precise and fierce.
Everyone turned to look and saw a handsome young man in purple clothes, black armor and red soldiers leading more than a hundred black armored knights into the village. The string of a huge bow in his hand was still vibrating, but there were only two tooth generals around him holding the bow, making it unclear how many people shot the five arrows just now.
I quietly asked Masan: "Can you do it?"
Masan is an archery master of the Winged People. She also frowned and hesitated: "It's okay to shoot two arrows at the same time, but three arrows..."
That fat governor He rolled his eyes and said softly, "You... who are you!"
The boy in purple ignored him, looked at me calmly as I just entered the village, and asked, "Are you Lord Yavandi?"
"Exactly. I wonder who the general is?"
The young man looked calm, but the knights behind him had different reactions. Some had hatred in their eyes, while others showed awe. The young man put away his bow and arrows and said numbly: "The last general Korshi, under the command of General Leke, is here to welcome you to the imperial city."
Upon hearing Leke's name, the fat governor knelt down, and other warriors and people also came to the imperial city. Korsch knelt down on one knee. Leike is the "Black Knight" who is one of the four great tiger generals in Diori. He once fought with the Lion King in the world. His reputation is not much different from that of "God of War" Tan Tai and "Red Beard" Kirul. He is known even in remote areas. Prestige.
What a "Black Knight", Rick, actually guessed that this young master would come from here. He was obviously greeting me, but in fact, he was showing off his power, implying that he had the ability to catch me. At this time, a squad of 100 people in red armor came from outside the village to join me. They maneuvered and neatly formed a circular formation, with small shields in front and swords and arrows in the back. In a defensive formation, they followed Korsch's black The cavalry kept them at a distance.
With the flame dragon knight supporting me behind my back, I also put my hands behind my back in a smart way, and stood in the middle of the army with a calm smile and said: "The general's kindness is overshadowed by Yafandi's heart, but the boy is fond of traveling around. I will set off to meet with His Majesty George in two days. I am really sorry that Sir Cole's trip was in vain. "
"In this case, Korsch will not disturb your pleasure. We will see you in the capital." He looked at the Yanlong Corps with his eyes. After a while, he waved to his men, and more than a hundred knights were able to rein in their horses and turn around at the same time. Before leaving, he gave the fat governor who was kneeling aside a cold glare.
I secretly praised in my heart that this guy is a talent.
I am the diplomatic envoy of the empire. An unreasonable attack on a female family member can cause an uproar and have a negative impact on the national prestige of Diyili. He has now resolved a storm in an understatement. The so-called strong general has no weak soldiers, which shows that it is not ordinary for the "Black Knight" to defeat him.
Why didn't the fat governor notice that I was the foreign minister? He crawled away with his men early.
Lily came to me, tugged on my shirt sleeves, and asked quietly: "Master...are you going to let them go like this? They will come back to oppress the people again..."
I stared coldly at the back of the fat governor and said calmly. : "Hmph, if this was Wurost, that fat guy would have been killed long ago, but it's a pity that this is Diyili."
Lu Yunfu whispered to Lily: "The two countries cannot infringe on each other's internal affairs, even diplomats are no exception. "
After a storm, the people in the village came to see us, but instead of looking at me with respect, they looked at me as a rare animal. . . . . .
In addition to me, there are Lily and Lu Yunfu, one is a rare enchanting beauty, the other is a great beauty with countless graces. Dozens of young village youths are watching from a distance, but they are too beautiful to be born. People dare to disturb them.
Ha, if Anfei and Ariya came, they might kneel down and worship.
Rashi happily took my hand, and the girls and guards followed us to the cabin where Rashi lived. Following us was the old man who looked like the village chief just now.
"Zanlun, he is Rashi's father, she is Rashi's mother, and they are Rashi's younger brother and Rashi's sister!"
"Ha, your family's names are quite unique."
The one in his early thirties was pointed out The farmer who was Laxi's father cautiously invited us to sit down, but Lily and Lu Yunfu took the initiative to stand behind me, showing the difference between master and slave, and Laxi of course did not dare to sit down. I secretly glanced at Lily, and she shook her head slightly. At the same time, we discovered that Laxi was not the biological child of the farmers.
Lily realized that the four of them were just ordinary people, but Laxi was a dragon. It seemed that even Laxi himself didn't know that they were not biological family members. I paid attention in my heart, but on the surface I smiled without a trace and said, "You're welcome, you guys can sit down too."
The Rashi family looked at me, and finally pushed the head of the family to sit down. But farmers are farmers, and they will always be frightened when facing senior officials. The guard guarding the door passed the report. I nodded and asked the village chief to come in for a meeting.
"Hahahaha... Don't be formal, I'm just a small official from out of town. Mr. Village Chief, what happened just now?"
"That's it, our Xiaogui Village is not a wealthy village to begin with. In addition to working hard, We also rely on collecting herbs and spices from the mountains to make a living. However, there is a severe drought this year, and there are serious crop losses. Monsters appear in the mountains and hurt people. The governor here does not understand us, and still wants us to pay heavy taxes, which we cannot pay. We have to take away our wives and daughters to pay off the debt."
Several farmers sighed, and Laxi even grabbed my arm and said, "Please Zhuolun, Laxi. We..."
"Well...that being said...but what kind of monster appeared on the mountain?"
Laxi's father said: "Actually, we don't know, but two villagers who went up the mountain to collect medicine were attacked and injured. "They said the monster has three heads, six horns, nine legs, and twelve legs."
"That's enough. You can't put this word out on the street, Lily, Masao, go check it out and see if you find anything."
"Yes." "
Lashi, please stay at home for these two days. We will leave for the capital in two days."
Laxi's mother suddenly knelt down, and Lu Yunfu rushed to help her. rise. She cried and said: "Your Majesty is very merciful... Wu... Please don't take away Rashi... I... Wu... I... I am willing to serve you in your place..."
"Mom .
Rashi was sold to human traffickers, and I originally looked down on them. But now I reasoned that since their family was so poor and still adopted Laxi as their daughter, the situation should not be what I had originally guessed.
The villagers are indeed simple, but in comparison, my own family is very different. I should really catch my old man and see this scene.
"Ma'am, it's really embarrassing for me to be like this. After all, Laxi has signed a contract of sale...um...huh?!"
Lu Yunfu and the others knew that I had come up with another good idea, and everyone looked expectantly at me, but I But he kept it secret and waited until the time was right to say everything.
