These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

Originally, Howard wanted to find another master from the Knights to be his bodyguard, but Du Wei recommended Iron Man Adventures to Howard after thinking about it.

In the past few years, he has become very familiar with the members of the Iron Man Group. Every few months, he will grab someone from the Iron Man Group and take him on an adventure. Called brothers and got up.

In terms of strength alone, Iron Man and John are only close to each other, which means that the foundation of other members of the Iron Man regiment is worse than that of the family guards from the army.

The Iron Man and the others are naturally happy to switch from the life of an adventurer with an unstable income to the huge Farwin family. It's just a recommendation, and they still have to accept a series of tests.

Du Wei didn't know the content of the test, anyway, the final result was passed, but their identities were not members of the military system, but private guards hired by Du Wei.

Iron Man, who was yawning in front of him, soon regained his energy when he heard that Du Wei was going to take them out.

"Boss, are you going to sweep the streets again?"

"Sweep the goods! Sweep the goods! Just thinking about eating! This time I have to do business!"

There is an obvious difference between the new dogleg and the old dogleg, that is, the members of the Iron Man Group are very cooperative with him, and they will not be like John who can't do this or that, so Du Wei often takes them everywhere to buy popular drinks spicy.

Du Wei told Iron Man what had happened, and Iron Man thought for a while and said.

"Dayan Village? I took over the crusade mission issued by the guild there the year before last. I didn't expect there to be an underground cave there."

"Have you been there? How long will it take to go there?"

"If you want to ride a horse, it should only take a week."

A week is not long, and it is not short, but it will take half a month to go back and forth.

"Go and gather people, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

After that, Du Wei told Sana to help him prepare half a month's worth of snacks.

Early the next morning, a mixed team of 20 people gathered outside the mansion, half of them were members of the original Iron Man Corps, and the other half were knights transferred from the Black Feather Knights.

Originally, Du Wei wanted to take only the Iron Man group out, but he turned around and thought it was wrong. The Iron Man guys could only fight. He didn't dare to expect these guys who couldn't even read a word to accompany him to collect taxes.

Mei Ye who came to see him off asked.

"Honey, are you sure you don't want to take a carriage? This is not such a short distance to Faerwen City."

"Don't worry, don't worry, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth by carriage, I want to make a quick decision."

Sana on the side tied a small leather bag around his waist.

"Master, this is a space bag, don't lose it."

After many years, he was finally issued a space bag, but it is funny to say that this space bag was actually produced by him. Looking at the unique stacking mechanism inside, he knew it was made by him. Unexpectedly, after a round of auctions, after tossing and turning, Back to his own hands.

But this is also good, he can use the space bag in a legitimate way in the future.

"Don't worry, don't worry, then I'm leaving."

After saying goodbye to his family, Du Wei and his party mounted their horses and headed towards Dayan Village.

083 People are addicted to vegetables

Riding a horse and blowing the wind, Du Wei hummed happily.

"Boss, didn't you say that you don't like getting involved with the gods? Why do you seem to be in a good mood now?"

It was Tiehua, Iron Man's younger sister who was speaking. During this trip, she acted as a maid to take care of Du Wei's daily life, but her strength is actually not bad, and her weapon is a giant ax with an astonishing weight.

I heard from Iron Man that their village was once a descendant of giants, so the children born in the village are much stronger than ordinary people, and they are also taller and taller. Adventurers make a living.

"It's all out anyway, so I can't just make a bad face for half a month, not to mention that I don't have to go inside the dungeon this time."

"The boss is the boss, he really has a big heart." The iron man on the side took advantage of the situation and flattered him.

"Don't come here, where are we going to stay tonight?"

Tiehua took out the map and looked at it.

"If there is no delay on the road, it is estimated that we will arrive at a small town on the road in the evening. There is a separate manor there for us to stay overnight."

...

Afterwards, they traveled unimpeded along the way, and they arrived at the separated manor almost without encountering any obstacles. After all, seeing a team of twenty fully armed men, the guy who would jump out to rob was either mentally ill or looking for death.

As for animals and monsters, I have seen some, but as long as you don't deliberately provoke them, you will usually dodge from a distance. It is actually very rare that you will die when you encounter a monster.

After arriving at the branch library, Du Wei was warmly received by members of the branch family, and held a small welcome banquet for him that night.

When preparing to leave early the next morning, members of the branch family stuffed a bunch of local specialties over, and Du Wei put all of them into the space bag.

"It's really cool to come out to collect taxes. I'm a little embarrassed to eat and take it."

Even sitting on the bumpy horseback, Du Wei still ate the delicious sausage without changing his face.

Tiehua smiled wryly.

"That's because this year's tax collector is the boss, how could any other tax collector get such a good treatment."

Iron Man nodded sympathetically.

"Tax collector is a thankless job."

Du Wei grinned contemptuously.

"Speak as if you've collected taxes."

Iron Man laughed foolishly.

"Although I have never collected taxes, I have experience of being taxed. In the eyes of us mountain people, tax collectors are no different from bandits who rob money. Our village lives deep in the desolate wild mountains, and we have not received any attention from the lord. Protected by the army, but have to hand over part of the income to the lord every year, so naturally they don't like the tax collector."

It turns out that if this is the case, then he will probably be looked down upon by others this time.

Although their family's Black Feather Knights are very famous, the number of troops is actually not large, because the requirements for being incorporated into the Knights are very high, and the most basic literacy can wipe out a large number of people in this era.

Let alone ordinary infantry regiments, they can't take care of the safety of distant villages, and when the infantry arrives, the grass on the graves may already be knee-high.

At present, villages that are not managed by nobles have the local village head organize a militia group to maintain the law and order in the village. Therefore, the power held by the village head can be said to be very large, and criminals caught in the village do not need to be sent to the city court for trial. Instead, the village head directly convicts and punishes immediately.

Of course, there must be many problems with this approach, but there is no way around it. Who would be willing to spend time and money to escort criminals all the way to the city court.

Seeing that Du Wei didn't speak, Tiehua thought he was worried about whether he would be disgusted by the villagers in the future.

"Boss, don't worry. Your Excellency the Duke is very loved by the people in the territory. As the only child, you will be warmly welcomed by the local people wherever you go."

It was obviously a comforting word, but Du Wei felt a little sad when he heard it, making him feel like he was relying on the second generation ancestor of his father's generation. Can such a big truth be said directly!How rude!

In the days to come, as Tiehua said, whenever Du Wei appeared, local farmers would spontaneously come to offer various local products.

Du Wei was too embarrassed to collect taxes from them, so he had to hand over the work of collecting taxes to those black feather knights, and told them not to be too strict on the numbers, if they could be exempted, he would make up for the lack.

Iron Man shook his head upon seeing this.

"The boss is just too soft-hearted."

Tiehua also echoed.

"Actually, if the boss thinks these farmers are too annoying, he can send us to expel them."

Du Wei carefully peeled the oranges the farmer gave him and said casually.

"Forget it, besides, I don't find them annoying."

Hearing what he said, Iron Man and Tiehua just looked at each other and smiled.

......

After going through untold hardships, they finally arrived at Dayan Village in a week.

However, Tiehua had a troubled expression on her face, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it for a long time.

Du Wei was concerned.

"What's the matter, do you want to go to the bathroom? We're almost at the village, just be patient. If you really can't bear it, ask Iron Man to help you take the wind to the bushes to solve it."

"......certainly not!"

"Then why are you holding back your constipated face?"

Tiehua rubbed her forehead and said helplessly.

"I'm worried that the village head of Dayan Village won't recognize the boss."

"Huh? Just kidding, my face is very famous! How could I not recognize it?"

It's not that he's exaggerating, under the ever-growing Rose Manor, Du Wei's handsome face is printed on the packaging of any of their products. Maybe he is more famous among common people than his cousin, the prince of the empire. .

"...Boss, don't you realize that you are gaining weight?"

"I'm fat? How is this possible."

"look by youself."

Tiehua took out the hand mirror and handed it to him, the mirror reflected a handsome black-haired guy with rounded cheeks.

Du Wei exclaimed loudly.

"What witchcraft is this! Have I been cursed on the journey?"

At this time, the iron man on the side made a complaint.

"No, I think it's just that the boss got fat because he ate local specialties everywhere during the trip."

Tiehua frowned and glanced at her elder brother.

"You don't have the right to say that the boss is okay, it's better to say that you guys are all getting fat."

Du Wei took a closer look at the twenty or so guards who came with him. Except for Tiehua, all of them were more or less fatter, and the most swollen one was Iron Man.

Tiehua continued.

"I told you a long time ago that you should not accept all the souvenirs sent by the public, but you just don't listen. Now that you are so fat, can you still watch it?"

She has a very straightforward personality, and she dared to teach him a lesson even when facing him, the son of a duke. However, Du Wei didn't dislike her, and he preferred straightforward guys to beating around the bush.

"You can't blame me. I'm going to take this opportunity to portray myself as a noble young master who is close to the people. Besides, everyone has everything ready, so you can't waste food!"

Waste of food is the most unforgivable thing for farmers!

So naturally all the local products sent by the villagers went into the stomachs of him and the guards, and as a result, this trip was abruptly turned into a gourmet trip.

Tiehua sighed.

"Well, anyway, I don't care. Boss, you can figure it out. If Madam sees your figure when you go back, I guess you won't have a good life for a while."

Hearing this, Du Wei burst into cold sweat. As she grew older, Mei Ye became more and more strict with his appearance and figure. As a superstar in the social world, she naturally treated her children with high standards. Fat can still be called cute when you are young, but when you grow up, you are just a fat boy when you become fat.

If Mei Ye learns that his figure is out of shape, there will definitely be endless dance classes and etiquette classes waiting for him. Of course, afternoon tea and after-dinner snacks will definitely be cancelled.

Du Wei swallowed anxiously.

"I will definitely lose weight before I get home, and you guys are the same. Those who don't lose weight by then will deduct half of their bonuses this year."

Iron Man, the fattest among them, wailed.

"Why is this, Madam won't care about us."

"Shut up, it's difficult for everyone! You eat the most delicious food, and you obediently lose weight."

How could it be that Du Weihe was the only one suffering from the pain of losing weight, while the others were eating delicious food and drinking spicy food!Du Wei will never allow this to happen!

After hearing his arbitrary decision, the morale of all the fat boys plummeted, even those black feather knights who had been trained as hard knights were no exception.

In this way, a group of people drove into Dayan Village with a sullen face. Since few outsiders usually visit this remote village, a dozen well-armed knights suddenly poured in and made the village boil immediately.

The village head of Dayan Village soon came to Du Wei, but this old man looked at him with obvious doubts on his face.

"That...are you Lord Du Wei?"

Du Wei flipped his hair handsomely.

"There is no doubt, I am Du Wei himself. I look a little fat now because of the edema caused by acclimatization. Don't make a fuss."

Everyone "..."

"That's why, please take care of yourself, sir."

The village head of Dayan Village is also an old fritter, and he doesn't mention the matter of body shape anymore.

"Okay, I'm a little tired. Let's arrange a place to stay for us to rest first. In the afternoon, I will check the village's taxes. Come to me in the evening. I want to ask you about the recent discovery of the underground cave."

"Okay, please come with me, my lord."
