Yue Jinghua was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. She had no intention of pretending to be her brother or the lord of Fontaine County.
Before coming, she only used Fontaine County as a temporary refuge.
But the child in front of her, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and a glint of hope in her eyes, made her feel like she had a fish bone in her throat and couldn't deny it.
Yue Jinghua is a strange soul from the 23rd century. She cannot and cannot understand the status gap between the aristocratic classes. She cannot understand why a land without a lord that has lost the protection of its lords exudes such a desolate atmosphere.
breath.
Out of embarrassment, several carriages stopped by the lake.
With her sensitive five senses, Yue Jinghua heard an unusual beast's roar a few miles away. Fortunately, she was ahead of everyone else and rushed over first, otherwise this child from Fontaine County would have been doomed.
"Poor child," Lierou and Yunluo, who came a step behind, got out of the car and looked pitiful when they saw the blood on the ground.
Since the incident at Liejiabao happened and she left the Shang Kingdom, Lierou's temperament has changed significantly along the way. I don't know whether it is because she has a real dragon dagger to protect her, or because she has seen through the warmth of people, Lierou
Rou seemed much more determined and didn't say much after seeing the killing scene.
Seeing the tragic situation of the grandfather and grandson, one dead and the other injured, Lie Rou, as the lord's wife of Fontaine County, felt even more guilty. She couldn't help but stepped forward, held Er Wang in her arms and comforted him softly.
Erwang had never been so close to someone of such a noble status. He couldn't say anything. He just stared at Lierou, dumbfounded and speechless.
Looking at the child's thin and withered arms, Lierou hurriedly ordered Hongling and Hongyao. One person cleaned up the animal carcasses on the ground, and the other took out the dry food and dried meat.
"Let the child drink some porridge and water first," Yue Jinghua stopped Lierou from handing Erwang food, "This child must have been hungry for a long time and ate too much in haste, and his stomach will burst."
When Yue Xiaoqi was a street child without government supervision, she once witnessed a street child who had been hungry for five days. After grabbing a few pieces of bread, he wolfed it down and died of stomach distension.
Lie Rou was startled and silently took back the dry food. Hong Ling looked at it with a sore nose. After picking up some firewood, she cooked some porridge and water on the spot and fed Erwang who was in shock to drink it.
"These people are so hateful, why should you let them go back? Are you still afraid of the people in Bailu County? Hmph, you have no spine." Yun Luo has a typical temperament of hating evil. She just followed behind and didn't have time to meet her.
Go to that group of people from Bailu County, otherwise she would kill those people on the spot regardless of their identity and origin after seeing such things like condoning domesticated beasts to hurt people.
In her opinion, Yue Jinghua, as a member of the Bloody Duke's Palace, saw the people in his territory being bullied and let those evildoers go back, which is cowardly and spineless.
"What did you say? A dandy who only knows how to eat and drink has the right to criticize Jinghua," Salman saw his friend being insulted and was so angry that he stepped forward to confront Yun Luo.
After getting along with Yun Luo for a while, everyone realized that this delicate young lady from the Yunhu Chamber of Commerce was actually a useless person with no knowledge of mystical energy and no cultivation skills. Fortunately, Teng Wu with a steady personality was by his side along the way.
Otherwise, with her arrogant temperament, she would have offended many people.
"Tengwu," seeing Erwang snoring and drinking most of the bowl of porridge water in one breath, regardless of how hot it was, Yue Jinghua frowned and stepped forward to stop Tengwu, "You have known for a long time that Fontaine County
situation?"
When everyone got out of the car just now, they were slightly moved when they saw such a tragic situation. Even Ye Zi, who had always ignored the human race, helped to find some firewood. Only Teng Wu seemed to have expected Feng.
The situation in Dan County remains unchanged.
"Shit, Tengwu, do you know the situation here? That's right. In the past few years, you traveled with caravans to various countries, and you must have passed through Fontaine County. Those people really had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. The empire has clearly prohibited the killing of human beings.
Not to mention hurting people with mysterious beasts," Yun Luo immediately changed her attention.
Under Yue Jinghua's stern gaze, Tengwu only felt that his whole body was enveloped by powerful profound energy. Such pressure made him have the illusion that Lord Long Ao, the heavenly general who protects the country, was coming in person.
How is it possible? The other party is just an armored nobleman with average Xuan Gong cultivation. How is it possible?
Tengwu stirred up the profound energy in his body to clear his mind, and he said sincerely: "Miss Yue, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about the matters in Fontaine County before coming. But, as a member of the Yunhu Chamber of Commerce, I
I have no obligation to tell you about the affairs of Fontaine County, this is a household matter of your Duke's Palace."
Within the empire, there are clearly defined hierarchies. The territory of the nobles is like the slaves raised by noble men, and no one else can get involved.
"No obligation? Mr. Teng, remember one sentence, rights and obligations often complement each other. If this is the case, then please Mr. Teng and your lady leave Fontaine County immediately. Fontaine County does not welcome you. From today on, for
The safety of the territory and the people. I, as the lord's daughter, order that Fontaine County be closed for three months to recuperate. During this period, anyone or a carriage passing by Fontaine County will be..." Yue Jinghua's eyes
The ruthless light Yiyi immediately turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.
As soon as she gave the order, Salman immediately released the Five Elements Colored Spider, Hongling clasped the bowstring tightly, and the Flashing Cloud Leopard let out a roar.
"Hey, you woman, why are you so capricious? You won't let us pass through Fontaine County. How can we enter the belly of Xuan Beast Ridge?" Yun Luo has never seen such an unreasonable woman. She was so respectful a moment ago.
The next moment, he seemed to be a completely different person.
It is not that there is no other way for people from the Yunhu Chamber of Commerce to enter the Black Beast Ridge, but if they take other ways, it is now a time when heavy snow has closed the mountain, and other mountain roads are steep, and they are likely to encounter avalanches, which is very unsafe.
"Besides, you have to accompany us to find clues about the mysterious beast eggs," Yun Luo said. Although Yun Luo is cute and savage, she followed Yue Jinghua and others along the way and discovered that they were indeed good at tracking the whereabouts and controlling the mysterious beasts.
Outstanding.
"What are the priorities? Or does Miss Yunluo think that those few mysterious beast eggs are worth the lives of tens of thousands of people in Fontaine County?" Yue Jinghua has always been very particular about coming and going. If you respect me even a foot,
I will pay you back. She naturally understands that Yunhu Shang is a very important partner, but this partner obviously still needs some testing.
When Yun Luo was asked this question, she was immediately speechless and didn't know how to answer the question.
No matter how precious the spiritual treasure is, it is not more important than human life. In terms of business, neither Yunluo nor Tengwu can say that human life is not as important as a few mysterious beast eggs.
"Lord, you are really the lord." After drinking a few mouthfuls of warm porridge, Erwang's face turned rosy. He listened to Yue Jinghua and others' words and seemed to understand, but when he heard Yue Jinghua's words
After giving the order, he hurriedly dropped the porridge bowl in his hand, ran over, and hugged Yue Jinghua's hand, "Lord, if you are here, are you from our village? You will no longer have to pay the head tax."
