It was just a day. The news about the upcoming war between Bailu County and Fontaine County was faster than growing wings. In less than a day, most of the people in Bailu County knew that the Bailu Army suffered a disastrous defeat last night and Fontainebleau.
The county invited strange people and strangers.
The news also spread to the Lord's Mansion. The two soldiers who were lucky enough to "escape" told everything about last night. Before they could finish speaking, Viscount Moore, who was so angry that his hair stood on end, kicked him.
Kicked to death.
"I don't believe in the black grass that eats people or the mosquito monster that sucks human blood. Just a boy of unknown origin can go against the will of heaven. Butler, what do you want to do about this matter? Do you want to
Gather a group of people again and find someone to flatten Fontaine County. If you can't do it with a thousand, just five thousand. This time, I will take action personally." After roaring for a while, Viscount Moore calmed down under the persuasion of the butler.
"Sire," the old butler interrupted, "you cannot act recklessly in this matter. You are a rich man, how can you be as knowledgeable as those untouchables in Fontaine County. As the ancients said, you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife, we have this
Don’t you happen to have a chicken-killing knife from Fontaine County?” The old steward of the Viscount’s Mansion is called Betsin, and he was a retired strategist from the Dragon War Empire Army in his early years.
He was a calm and alert person. When Viscount Moore left the imperial capital and moved to Bailu County to become the local emperor, it was also the old housekeeper's idea.
"You mean?" Viscount Moore pondered.
"Both flesh and blood, you have forgotten, there are still many slaves brought from the head tax in our prison, who have no family or friends. As long as we find the right person, we can divide Fontaine County from within. When the time comes,
Wouldn't it be more satisfying if we didn't waste a single soldier," the old housekeeper persuaded.
"Okay, I'll do as you said. You go to the county jail and see who is imprisoned." Viscount Moore handed over the matter to the old butler, and called the dancer to drink and have fun.
That night, a golden-winged eagle was released from Bailu County and flew to the settlement village in Fontaine County.
At the entrance of the village settlement, a figure flew up, snatched the golden-winged eagle, and took a letter from the goshawk's mouth.
After reading the contents of the letter clearly, the man quickly tore up the letter and returned to the village silently, holding the spear in his hand.
The man seemed anxious. He did not return to his residence immediately, but wandered around the newly renovated simple lord's wooden house.
In the wooden house, the light of the warm blue snow candle shone through the cracks in the wood, and the voices of Yue Chen and Hong Ling came from inside, "Hong Ling, remember, when planting Pyrophylla poisonous algae, you must avoid open fire. This
Once the poisonous algae is planted in contact with fire, it will ignite and it will no longer be able to play a defensive role against the enemy."
"Young Master, I know this. You should go to bed early." Hong Ling blew out the candle.
After a while, the man outside the wooden house disappeared.
Hong Ling and Yue Chen came out, "Hong Ling, why did you deliberately expose the weakness of Liaoyuan Toxic Algae to Nan Muyu?"
"It's the lady's order. The lady said that Nan Muyu is a hidden danger in Fontaine County." In the days since I came to the village, the relationship between the villagers and everyone in Jingxinyuan has become increasingly harmonious. Only Nan Muyu, the former captain of Fontaine County, has become more and more harmonious.
Mu Yu has always been eyeing him.
"If he dares to act recklessly, I will not let him go." Yue Chen's voice suddenly turned cold. Hong Ling was stunned. She had never seen the young master speak in such a tone.
The young master seems to have changed. He is no longer the cowardly, silent childish boy. Even his stuttering problem has not occurred again for a long time.
"The young lady said that he can't be killed yet," Hong Ling sighed softly. These days, Jingxin Academy has experienced a series of changes, and everyone's temperament has changed.
Even my wife has become different these days, and perhaps, this is not a bad thing.
Looking at the sky, I saw a bright moon in the sky and stars twinkling. It was already getting late.
"When Hong Yao set out, she said she would be back later. I will wait for her at the entrance of the village. It's time for the young master to rest," Hong Ling asked Yue Chen to rest first and waited alone outside the village.
Hongyao was delayed a little while on his way back. When he returned to the village, the sky was already filled with stars.
After Hongyao left Bailu County with her people, she did not return to Fontaine County immediately. It was just the first time she met the man, so she was still a little wary.
She first drove a carriage back and forth around Fontaine County, chatting with the man. Yao was a good conversationalist, and the man in fine clothes was also a cheerful person. When he inquired about it,
, and found out the origin of the man.
The man's surname is Helian, whose last name is the word "Sheng". He is from the Ruisong Federation. His family has been in business for generations, and the company under his name sells various products.
He went out this time under the orders of his elders in the family. He traveled on the mainland to gain more knowledge and came to Bailu County just for a short stay. He planned to enter the mercenary town in the mountains in front of Xuan Beast Ridge.
Find a few mercenaries and escort them across the mountain.
Hongyao listened on the surface, but secretly paid attention to Heliansheng's words and deeds, and could not see any flaws, so he took him with confidence and transferred to Fontaine County.
Seeing Hongyao driving to Fontaine County, Helian Sheng remained calm on the surface, but secretly thought in his heart, "Sure enough, Fontaine County has changed. I am afraid that this change will affect the military of Long Zhan Empire."
Don’t know yet.”
"Madam, stop ahead," Helian Sheng, who had been admiring the exquisite ice and snow in Fontaine County along the way, called out to Hong Yao when the carriage and horses passed the ice lake.
Hongyao stopped the horse in a hurry, and what made Heliansheng stop the carriage was the cluster of arrow bamboos that grew beside the lake when Yue Jinghua first met Erwang and his grandson earlier.
The Dragon War Empire is located in an alpine zone, and arrow bamboo is not a common crop in the country. The arrow bamboo that grows in the Black Beast Ridge area, also known as ice arrow bamboo, is a variant of bamboo, and its cold resistance is much higher than that of ordinary bamboo.
"Mr. Helian, what's wrong with this bamboo?" Hong Yao also had some impressions of this arrow bamboo. That time the mysterious beast from Bailu County attacked and destroyed a lot of arrow bamboo in this area.
The boss and Young Master Yue Chen seemed to have done something to the arrow bamboo on a whim that day.
After He Liansheng stopped, Hongyao couldn't help but pay attention to the piece of arrow bamboo. He saw that this piece of arrow bamboo was growing very well. Compared with other arrow bamboos that were weighed down by winter snow, they looked smaller.
They are very energetic, and not only that, their bamboo bodies actually emit a faint blue light in the darkness.
He Liansheng slipped out a small scimitar from his hand and chopped off a small piece. When the bamboo fell on his hand, he felt a biting coldness. This was...
"Madam, please take me to see your boss immediately. I have a very important deal that I want to discuss with him." After putting the small piece of ice arrow bamboo into his sleeve, Heliansheng's expression changed.
