Chapter 274 The Salint Family
"Did you see the master?" Kalie grabbed a patrol soldier with anxiety. The soldier shook his head like a rattle. After putting down the soldier Cardlie patrolled around for two rounds, he could only go to the lord's mansion to report to Lord Yinyue first.
"Or it wasn't found?" When Yin Yue looked at Kare's face, she knew that the ghost cuckoo had not been found. "The last landing point was a residential house. Judging from the situation on the scene, the adults should not be injured, because no blood was found on the roof or on the ground, but the adults didn't know where they went. The small town was not big, so why couldn't they find it?"
Yinyue pondered for a moment with her chin on her hands and asked, "Is there a temple church in the city?" Kare nodded and said, "Yes, that is the tallest building in the entire city. At the beginning of the siege, the correction target was it. Are you saying that the adults might have gone to the temple? But there is already ruins. Where can the adults go?"
"He is so stingy, he must have gone to the temple to search. You go and see first. He dares to do even a catapult. Do you think your adults have anything else to do?" Yin Yue put down her hand and hugged her shoulders and snorted coldly. Kalie nodded in agreement. Sure enough, the elf princess in front of her best was the elf princess in front of her. After saying goodbye, Kalie asked the direction clearly, and took a convoy directly to the temple church in the city.
If it was a search, then some things must be filled with the space ring of Lord Gui Chou, so Kalie thoughtfully prepared the transported things. The group rushed to the church in a huge amount of time, but when they arrived at the place, they didn't find Gui Chou at all, but there were soldiers cleaning up the scene. Kalie remembered that he had not given such orders, and Princess Silver Moon should have not given orders either.
He pulled a soldier to look at him and recognized him as a soldier in Crooked Moon City. After asking, he realized that it was an order from Lord Gui Chou. The church was smashed thoroughly. It took some effort to clean it up and leave the carriage. Kalie asked Gui Chou's whereabouts again, but the soldiers present could not answer this question. Kalie grinned and took the guards back to the lord's mansion. This time, even Yin Yue couldn't think of where Gui Chou might go.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, a soldier ran in panic and shouted loudly: "Lord Yinyue, Lord Kale, Lord Gui Chou has found it!"
"Where is it?" The two were stunned. The soldier gasped for two breaths and said, "In the prisoner-in-war camp, Lord Gui Chou seemed to be looking for someone, but no one asked. After the captain arrived, he was kicked out by Lord Gui Chou, and then the captain asked me to report the news."
Prisoner of War Camp? Kalie was completely confused. He had never visited the prisoner of war camp because he thought that if Gui Chou went to plunder money, he should have to ask for trouble with the nobles or the temple first. What does it have to do with those prisoners? He turned his head with confusion on his face, but found that Yin Yue was gritting his teeth and muttering something. Kalie's voice vaguely heard Yin Yue's words.
"This miser! The wealthy miser! Is there any face?" After that, it seemed that Yin Yue had some sense of the response, and Kalie couldn't hear it. Yin Yue glared at her face, but a bright redness appeared on her face and said, "Look at what I do, why don't I go to find your master!" After saying that, Yin Yue snorted coldly, Yin Yue left angrily. Kalie scratched her head and took the soldier straight to the prisoner-of-war camp.
Beifeng City surrendered in the afternoon, and actually opened the city gate in the evening. Some soldiers even climbed up directly with siege ladders. Such an easy conquering Beifeng City naturally made the soldiers excited. However, they did not enter the city to burn, kill and plunder as the people and soldiers in the city imagined. After disarming the defenders in the city, the soldiers quickly set up a garrison near the city wall. The land was limited, and some soldiers lived outside the city, but the prisoners were all locked in a temporary prisoner of war camp in the northwest corner of the city.
The trembling people looked at the soldiers passing by the street through the windows, and noticed more about the soldiers with red cloth strips on their arms. These soldiers had all kinds of races, but no matter what race, they were all frightened in front of these soldiers. The tall and mighty werewolf actually saluted a dwarf, and the other team of arrogant elves subconsciously avoided after seeing this type of soldiers. For a moment, the local people were talking about this, but then these people read the announcement of occupation loudly on the street. The main meaning was that this was the Patriotic War, and the main responsibility was on the lords of the province, and had nothing to do with the people, but in order to eliminate spies undercover, routine searches were still required.
Many people were trembling when they heard the routine search, but the next move was unexpected. The soldiers with red cloth strips on their arms were really just routine inspections. However, they checked very finely, and all the secret doors of the cellar could be found, but they did not withdraw money. They just requisitioned some food, and the amount was not very large. These actions made the soldiers named the military and legal team quickly gain the hearts of the people. Some people opened the door directly, but some people stayed in the door and even resisted with all their strength. In the process, they couldn't help but shed blood. Some were injured, but no one was killed on the spot. These rebels were taken to the prisoner-of-war camp.
When Kalie came to the station prisoner-of-war camp, he searched for a long time before he found Gui Chou. At this time, a lord from a province actually squatted in front of a prisoner of war as if discussing something.
"You should recognize me, tell me, where did you put it?"
The prisoner raised his head slightly and said in a terrified look: "Master, you...I..." Gui Chou still said slowly: "I know, you are the team leader on duty at that time. Don't deny it. I remember your face. Tell me, where did you hide that gold coin?"
"What's the situation?" Kare did not go forward directly. He knew that it was not suitable to go forward and disturb him at this time, so he handed over the problem to Longkodo, who managed the prisoner-of-war camp.
Longkodo said with a blushing face: "The last time I came to Beifeng City, this team leader collected the gold coins from the gate of the city wall. When he left, he was still the team leader, with a total of two gold coins."
"That's all?" Kalie felt that his head was a little too turned, and he couldn't help asking again. Longkodo nodded helplessly. Kalie, who received a positive answer, finally understood why Lord Yinyue said in the lord's mansion.
This Ghost and Chou Lord is so poor!
In front of the team leader, Gui Chou still squatted and hugged his knees with interest and said, "Let me say it quickly, I know it's you!" The team leader finally couldn't stand the pressure and his eyes rolled up suddenly and fainted.
Seeing this scene, Longkodo sighed and said, "He has been talking for nearly an hour. If it were me, he would have been crazy." Kare nodded with approval and sympathy. At this time, Gui Chou slowly stood up and said with a pity: "I'm fainting? You haven't said where you hid my gold coins!"
Hearing this, Longkodo and Kare rolled their eyes at the same time.
Before dinner, Gui Chou finally got the two deformed gold coins. In fact, this kind of gold coins cannot be spent, so Gui Chou can only be taken back. If it is spent, Gui Chou will be embarrassed to ask for it. However, because of Gui Chou's trouble, the prisoners of war became much more honest, and some soldiers even confessed their faults happily, while the military and legal team dug out many unknown cases and information.
Looking at the big seal on the dining table in front of him, Gui Chou smiled slightly, picked it up and handed it to Longkodo and said, "Find a place to throw it away. It's best to be the kind of place you don't want to find." Longkodo understood it carefully, Gui Chou arranged a series of things and then set up a camp bed in the hall of the Lord's Mansion to rest.
Early the next morning, Gui Chou officially took over the work of Beifeng City. All external meetings and invitations were rejected. After half a day, an announcement appeared in the streets and alleys of Beifeng City. The content contained many aspects, but in summary, it should be the following four points:
First, the lord of the North Wind Province was declared a traitor of the empire and was wanted in the entire province. Those with clues were rewarded, and those who hid secretly were executed.
Second, it was announced that the North Wind Province was included in the jurisdiction of the Crescent Month Province and began to implement the relevant systems of the Crescent Month Province. However, there is no protection period. All residents in the city must pay taxes for one year in advance. In view of the season, the military law team will handle it as appropriate.
Third, all slaves are included in the army and a new slave legion is formed. Regardless of race, nobility with slaves at home can use slaves to offset taxes.
Fourth, the fifth prince was announced to be against the enemy. In order to maintain the orthodox empire, Gui Chou, the lord of the crescent province, will attack the rebels.
This announcement belongs to the entire territory and is posted within three days. With the release of the announcement, Beifeng Province was officially accepted by the Crescent Moon Province. During these three days, Kale, who was in the Crescent Moon City, also rushed over. It was beyond everyone's expectations to take Beifeng Province so quickly. Therefore, Kale came to understand the situation and prepared to help Gui Chou contact other nobles and foreign forces.
"Sir, there is a middle-aged man outside the mansion who said he was an envoy of the Salint family." Just when Gui Chou and Kahler decided to go to the city wall at noon, a guard came in to ask. After looking at each other, they saw the brilliance in each other's eyes, but Gui Chou said calmly: "Let him go directly to the city wall to the south to wait for us."
After the soldier went down, Kahler asked, "Is this OK?"
"There's nothing wrong." Gui Chou said with a sneer, "Come here at this time, there are only a few words to say. Do you go?" Kale smiled helplessly and stood up first.
As soon as the two arrived at the city wall, Kale exclaimed. Before Gui Chou could react, Ali had seen the second prince climbing up to the city wall and saluting slightly to the messenger. Gui Chou was stunned and heard Kale say softly: "Teacher, why are you here?"
