Chapter 193 Return to the crescent moon
"But if it is really as you said, then why don't you nine resist together, but choose to fight each other?" Gui Chou wanted to ask, but the voice did not intend to continue answering, but just urged him to leave quickly.
"Little master, according to the report of the fourth brother, there seems to be a little riot in your current territory because of your departure, and the people you accepted seem to be unable to suppress them, so I suggest you go back as soon as possible, otherwise, you may regret it." The voice was not slow or anxious, obviously, I already knew that Gui Chou would be anxious after hearing the news, and his first judgment was not wrong. After hearing this, Gui Chou put his hand on both sides of the transparent door and began to push hard.
"Remember, I haven't seen your true face yet, I will come back!" As soon as Gui Chou finished speaking, the door opened in response. A black mist suddenly popped out from the crack of the door that could be seen through at one glance, which wrapped Gui Chou tightly. Before Gui Chou could sense the intensity of the dark elements, an irresistible suction pulled him into the door. Soon Gui Chou's eyes turned black, but Gui Chou and the servant Xiaojiu did not sense it. In Gui Chou's space ring, the black magic core slowly emitted a strange dark red light. The light slowly disappeared along the texture of the magic core, and finally turned into an ordinary magic core.
People in Cengyue City have been in panic recently. I don’t know where it came from. There are rumors that the city lord Gui Chou, who is in Cengyue Province, has disappeared for a long time. Although he does not show up normally, many soldiers have begun to frequently enter and exit the city lord’s mansion. The mansion of Gui Chou is not big. If you stand on the city wall and have enough vision and vision, the changes inside can be clearly understood. However, ordinary people are not allowed to go up to the city wall, so the only ones who can know the trends of the city lord’s mansion are the soldiers on the inner city wall.
However, there is one thing that has not been affected, that is, several races in the Crescent City have begun to show obvious signs of fusion. Whether it is human race, orc, elves or blood races, they can walk casually on the streets. If they have some savings, they can also pay rent to form a stall and buy some small things to supplement their household expenses. However, the grain, salt and iron ore are controlled by the Lord's Mansion. They allow large merchants to buy in the Lord's Mansion and then sell at no higher than the price set by the Lord's Mansion, but they must not be less than the price set by 10%, otherwise it will be regarded as malicious competition, which is a critical cell.
Every morning, the moon sets, the rising sun rises, and the loud trumpet sounds will sound from outside the city. People who are used to this sound will get up one after another and start to work on this day. However, it has been winter for a month, and the snow has been scattered. The ground is black and white, like a piece of rag. The cold wind has forced people to wrap their bodies as tight as possible, so that the damn heat will not run out a slightest. The last season of crops has been harvested. After selling the coarse grains to the military camp, the people in charge of farming naturally have indescribable comfort and pride in their hearts when they look at their relatively plump granary. Just a year ago, even if this situation is given to them, they would not have thought that after the busy farming season, the people's bodies will be idle, so their hearts will begin to revitalize.
What they were discussing was about this mysterious lord. Why did Lord Gui Chou disappear for a long time? The people in the crescent moon city know that Lord Gui Chou likes to go to the old crescent moon city. Although he doesn't know the reason, being able to enter there is enough to prove that he is a strong man, and he can stay for a long time. All the food was sent by a special person, but for more than a month, no army has advanced in that direction, and people from nearby villages have also confirmed this. So where did Lord Gui Chou go?
"Oh, where did you think this Lord Ghost Chou go? Lord Alex and Lord Silver Moon have been exposed twice, but they have never seen Lord Ghost Chou come out. Lord Ghost Chou is not in the new crescent moon city, nor is it the old crescent moon city anymore. Where do you think he will go back?"
"This is really hard to say, but I think the rumors are unfounded. The Ghost and Chou Lord, Hong Fu, can always turn bad luck into good fortune. The adults have always been lucky. It is probably the slack season, and he doesn't have much work on his hands, and it may not be necessary to go out to play. After all, the adults are not very big, and it seems that they can understand it if they are very interested in playing?"
"Yes, maybe Lord Gui Chou is secretly investigating now, and he plans to take advantage of the winter to walk the entire province. I heard from the one in our family that when Lord Gui Chou was in the Holy Capital, he said that he wanted to go to every corner of the province to have heartfelt and free food. Although taxes will be imposed next year, the tax is not heavy. If it is time to go, Lord Gui Chou's idea will definitely be realized."
"Speaking of this, what is the problem of taxation, but now seeds are a problem. How much grain do you pick out for the seeds?"
"Oh, don't mention it. You can eat whatever you want. There may be only so many people who pick it out to make seeds." After saying that, the werewolf stretched out a finger, and the farmers next to him who were holding farm tools in their hands said in disbelief: "One bag is enough. Wouldn't you just reclaim twenty acres of land this year? One bag should be enough."
The other people agreed. The werewolf didn't know what skills he had mastered. They were all land, but their land was better than other people's. The werewolf has strong durability. In addition to the sudden howling of the werewolf in the middle of the night, it was quite kind usually. In addition, he did have a good farming style, and many people liked this werewolf, so the werewolf became the village chief of this village.
"Just one handful of it can be used, and I can't even plant the garden next to my house. The rest can only be used for food. After all, the time is short, so there is no way, but I believe that Master Gui Chou will definitely have a solution. Believe me, it must be."
The farmers who were still worried quickly rested in peace. Although the busy farming season is over, there is an order to participate in the reserve service in Crooked Moon City. Gui Chou decided that the whole people would be soldiers. On the one hand, it was to enhance the village's own defense capabilities to resist the eliminated bandits. On the other hand, it was to repeat the second selection among these people to patrol the village. If there was a shortage of food in winter, these people would also be responsible for hunting on the mountains to maintain it.
But as of now, it seems that going up the mountain to hunt is basically unnecessary, because although the harvest in the first year is not good, saving some money is enough to survive the winter. What everyone is worried about is not the taxes charged next year, but about the problem of seeds, that's all.
The Werewolf Village Chief let these people participate in training, and then he went back. He is the village chief and has a lot to deal with. Several village chiefs from the neighboring village have already spoken out. The recent skirmish has been resolved, and the rest are some trivial matters in the village.
But when he arrived at the door, his figure suddenly squatted, and the hair behind him was instantly standing upside down, and the fangs that had never been exposed in front of the villagers were slowly exposed. He slowly put down the farm tools in his hand, moved his hand, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the door. The sun had risen, but he felt this feeling colder than early winter. A feeling of oppression that seemed to be there and nothing made him sweat appear on his head. After waiting in front of the door for a while, the werewolf walked into the house step by step. After he completely entered the house, the door behind him suddenly closed. The werewolf was shocked, but then his face turned into surprise and joy.
"Sir, you... why are you here? You..." Looking at the black figure in front of him, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, but in the end he took a deep breath and held it in his arms.
At this time, under the mask of Gui Chou, a sound of anger sounded, "What a broken portal, it's actually in the stove!" But soon the black on Gui Chou's body disappeared quickly, revealing the clean clothes inside, but there were still some stains, but even so, it was much cleaner.
"Are you from the reconnaissance camp?" Gui Chou picked up a piece of dry food and put it directly in his mouth. It was food provided by the army and only soldiers could enjoy it. The werewolf just now responded to confirm that Gui Chou's words just now. This werewolf must have been a slave soldier before, and was sent here. However, Gui Chou looked at the soldier carefully and asked in confusion: "Where are you injured? Why can't I see it?"
The werewolf immediately bowed and said loudly, "Sir, I was injured in the lumbar spine. In the Binis Empire, I had a conflict with the local cavalry team at the local garrison. I was injured during the battle and was rescued. After the army issued a retirement order, I applied to retire. Now the village chief, sir, here is nearly fifty miles away from Crouching Moon City. Why did you suddenly come here?" The werewolf's salute posture was a bit weird, and Gui Chou could see it. After nodding, Gui Chou picked up a piece of dry food and asked, "Do you regret it? Do you hate me for introducing the retirement order?"
"I can only blame myself for not being strong. Saying that I don't regret is a lie. It's a pity. The army needs to maintain combat effectiveness rather than being dragged down. I can also serve adults here, so I naturally don't hate you. And I believe that all those who came out of the 10th Guard Corps will not hate you. You gave us a second or even a third life. We were grateful for it, so how could we hate you?" When the werewolf heard this, his face became a little anxious. The excited voice was inevitably a little louder. Gui Chou shook his head slightly, and after eating the dry food, he finally jumped off the table.
"I want to thank you for your support. Since I have arrived, please send a message to the two people in the main city and tell them to prepare a regiment of troops for me."
The werewolf was stunned and asked with some uncertainty: "Does sir want to fight?"
