Lord of Rot

Ravens glided through the air.

Not surprisingly, I saw many eye-catching scenes.

The last incident of messing with the female slave had just stopped for a while, and now the feces in the corner near the livestock village caught Li Qi's attention again.

Fermentation takes time, and it is not a day for growing food. Most residents of the livestock village do not need to farm, so... why do they need to go to the toilet?

People are so realistic. Even if the baron built a toilet for them, they were unwilling to take a few more steps, and the problem of open defecation remained unchanged.

The raven spread its wings and looked at the busy people.

In general, the development of Porcupine Territory is getting better and better, but the quality of residents needs to be gradually guided.

At least the villagers would hide instead of taking off their pants in front of other people. This is a big improvement, isn't it?

"Ok?"

Li Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and the team of corpses exploring the cave in the headland also stopped.

A team actually appeared on the main road outside Porcupine Territory.

They carried maces, spears, and wore armor and shields with the porcupine family emblem. There was unhidden exhaustion on each of their faces.

"Rou Baozi beats the dog, and there is still a day when he can come back!" Li Qi couldn't believe it.

When his cheap father sent all the troops to the Golden Thorn Sword family, Li Qi never thought that the soldiers would come back, but now they have really come back, although they are only half the number when they left.

He stood up quickly.

"Pitchfork!"

"Yes, sir." The valet waiting outside the door walked behind Li Qi and waited for instructions.

"Tell Mr. Barrel to prepare delicious food immediately, no! Go to the livestock village and ask someone to kill a pig, kill some chickens and ducks, and carry a barrel of beer." He said with a smile. The soldiers were back, and the porcupine leader was confident. .

You can completely train soldiers by yourself!

Pitchfork received the order and walked quickly to the kitchen.

The tired Porcupine soldiers had arrived outside the Porcupine Collar. As they stepped on the smooth road, a soldier carrying a hammer couldn't help but ask: "Is this the Porcupine Collar? Are you going the wrong way?"

"It's impossible..." The soldier in the lead was Baron Leard's most trusted subordinate during his lifetime, Quick Blade.

Even the beard on his face couldn't hide his surprised expression, and his mouth opened as if a big hole had been ripped open in the straw pile.

The clatter of horse hooves sounded.

A young man riding a fast horse appeared in his sight.

"I am Lord Reacher Clarence's retinue, Carrot!" The young man tugged on the reins. The aura of the soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time was like a sea of ​​blood rushing towards his face. Carrot took a deep breath, held back his shivers, and said : "I have been ordered to take you to the Porcupine Territory. Your Excellency has arranged for a banquet."

The soldiers made no noise and all looked at the leader's sharp blade.

They had already heard about the fact that the Baron of Porcupine Territory died of illness and his eldest son inherited the position of Baron, but this was completely different from what they had imagined.

Without the powerful Leald Clarence, the Porcupine Territory would be even more impoverished. People could not afford food and had to dig out white mud to eat.

But what's going on now?

A knight's retinue on a fast horse? Is the little lord of his family rich enough to arrange foals for his retinues? Although the fast horses are not as good as the war horses, they are of excellent breed. They can't just eat forage, but also eat grain!

I guess Li Qi wants to save face? But Kuai Jian and other soldiers tried their best to recall that Li Qi in their memory was taciturn and average-talented. Apart from inheriting his mother's handsome appearance, he had no advantages as a lord.

He was indecisive, he had little courage, he was too polite and not rough enough.

How can a lord develop a good territory without iron-blooded hands?

I'm afraid, it has been ignored.

"Okay, lead the way." Kuai Ren took a deep breath. There was no doubt about his loyalty to Li Erd. If someone really dared to ignore Li Qi, they would risk their lives, but... well, their hearts were extremely heavy.

Hu Luobo felt a stronger pressure than before coming from the dozens of soldiers in front of him, making him breathless.

This is a real soldier. A soldier who has been on the battlefield, he is still far behind!

Carrot held the horse and led the way.

Kuai Ren and others were prepared to fight at any time, but soon they felt that something was wrong. The land in the porcupine territory was too flat!

The road is straight and wide enough to accommodate three or two horse-drawn carriages.

When I lowered my head and looked carefully, I saw that it seemed to be padded with stones and sand, and had been flattened.

"This road is...?" Quick Blade asked.

"Yes!" Carrot replied: "The lord arranged for people to pave the road. They dug sand and gravel, and there were also broken stones in some places. My lord said that if you want to be rich, you must pave the road first."

Quick Blade nodded. The porcupine in his memory led the way was indeed bad, and the road should indeed be paved.

It's just that there's something wrong with the fact that the road is so smooth after walking for so long. How much manpower and time is wasted! If everyone is not working to pave the road, where will the food come from?

"How long has the road been paved?"

"It didn't take long," Luo Bo said, "Hundreds of people came together, very quickly."

"Hundreds of people?" Kuai Ren almost choked. Are there that many people in the Porcupine Collar?

He immediately noticed something was wrong: "How many people are there in the Porcupine Leader?"

"More than 600 people"

really!

Kuai Ren secretly thought that Li Qi had been eliminated, otherwise why would there suddenly be more than 400 people.

At the fork in the road, Carrot stopped.

Kuai Ren asked: "What's wrong?"

"My lord is waiting for you all in the castle," said Carrot, "but the road I took when I came here to pick you up is temporarily blocked, so I have to take a detour."

"Just take a detour," Kuai Ren said nonchalantly.

Carrot nodded and walked to the other side with dozens of soldiers.

But as they walked, Kuai Ren and the other soldiers felt something was wrong.

As long as the road remains spacious, what's going on with these houses!

It’s not that they are very well built. They are definitely worse than those built with stones and bricks in places like Iron Stone City, but they are also too neat. The doors and windows are very symmetrical, and there are iron plates with numbers engraved on the door frames.

Neat and clean.

Even big cities can't see it.

Kuai Ren couldn't help but ask: "Where is this place?"

"livestock village"

"Livestock village?" There is still a village in the porcupine collar? Isn’t there just one porcupine collar?

Luobo was also very smart. Knowing that these soldiers did not participate in the construction of Porcupine Territory, he explained: "The Lord has re-planned Porcupine Territory. Now there are three villages in Porcupine Territory, namely Wheat Field Village, Livestock Village and Beekeeping Village."

"Three villages?" Kuai Ren swallowed.

"Are all these houses like this?"

"No" Carrot shook his head.

"Huh" Kuai Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

They have only been gone for more than half a year. It would be terrible if three villages developed.

Carrot continued: "Only the livestock village and the beekeeping village are new villages, and the wheat field village has not changed much."

Instead of three, two were built? !

That’s scary too! During the years when Leard was in Porcupine Territory, not a single new house was built, but many people starved to death.

The sharp blade choked.

The villagers on the roadside looked at them, and Kuai Ren actually saw a few familiar faces. Those villagers also knew them, and everyone said hello.

Suddenly the whole street became lively.

Kuai Ren and others responded with a smile, but they felt something was wrong. The villagers lived a prosperous life, lived in new houses, and walked on smooth roads without mud pits. Was the lord really being ignored? Even if you are really ignored, what should you and others do?

He shook his head slightly. No matter what, his allegiance was to the Porcupine family!
