Lord of Rot

"Blocking the road?"

Li Qi grabbed the horse's reins, grabbed the sword on the saddle, and ordered: "Speed ​​up and take a look ahead!"

The soldiers who were walking slowly also heard someone blocking the road, and immediately became energetic and speeded up.

The porcupine flag waved in the wind.

When Li Qi rode to the front of the road and saw the "robbers" blocking the road with broken wood, he was a little surprised.

They have stooped bodies because they have been digging for food in the fields all year round and working bent over.

The skin is loose, the nails are dark, and the eyes are timid and dull.

Holding a hoe, an ax and a wooden stick in the hands.

The bandits were clearly a group of farmers.

When Li Qi, riding a tall horse, approached with soldiers wearing dazzling armor, the group of people trembled involuntarily.

Morale, spirit, and equipment are all at a disadvantage.

The only advantage was in numbers, there were about fifty or sixty of them, and there were more than twenty on Li Qi's side.

But no one thinks that Li Qi's side is at a disadvantage.

"You want to block the road and rob?" Li Qi looked down and asked, "Tell me, who are you loyal to?"

"We serve Sir Wodu!" A man with black teeth said boldly.

"Wodu?"

Li Qi was curious: "I remember that Baron Wodu has returned to the embrace of the four gods."

"He is the son of Baron Wodu, the owner of Longship Castle!" The black-toothed man became bolder, remembering that he had a big backer.

It turned out to be a team of illegitimate children. At first, he thought the other party was a joke, but now it seems that it is not even a joke. It is just a group of farmers carrying hoes. It is a remote place and has not won over a few people.

A small fight.

"Really, let's wait until he knocks open the door of Longship Castle." Li Qi was a little impatient. He completely lost the idea of ​​chatting with this group of people with abnormal minds: "But you blocked a baron from the kingdom today. Passage!”

He was not very old, but when his eyes swept over the gray faces of the "militiamen", it was like sharp knives, making them shrink back in fear.

"I can think of this as a provocation to a baron," Li Qi said. "Perhaps, you guys want to start a war with the Porcupine Territory?"

Say it as the war begins.

The soldiers behind Li Qi drew their weapons one after another.

Clang clang!

The weapons gleamed in the sunlight.

"I, I didn't know you were an adult." Black Tooth grimaced. His mission was to stop passers-by. If it was a caravan, he would grab some food as Baron Wodu. If he couldn't beat them, he would tell them. , which is managed by Baron Waudou.

I don’t know that the tenth illegitimate son is in a bad situation now. The people under his command have nothing to eat, and there are still a group of people who have escaped. It is now difficult to support him.

They were just farmers before, and now they're facing a baron and declaring war? It's good enough that they didn't pee in fear. Being able to resist kneeling down and kowtow is their greatest loyalty to Mr. Bastard.

Oh, someone is already kneeling.

"Now you know." Li Qi looked at the people kneeling on the ground and smiled.

"Get out of the way, otherwise I don't mind letting something hang from the tree." Li Qi looked at the woods in the distance and said with a smile, "Do you know Sunny Baby?"

Farmers don't know about Earth's sunny dolls, but that doesn't stop them from being afraid.

"Yes, give way quickly, give way!"

Black Tooth shouted, and a group of people quickly moved away the rotten wood blocking the road to allow the team to pass.

Li Qi ignored them.

Probably when he comes back, there will be another group of people blocking the road.

Only the Baroness of Longship Castle would be restricted by this unreasonable and rogue way.

After Li Qi's team left, Hei Ya patted his chest: "Phew, I was scared to death. I just thought he would chop off my head."

"Those soldiers, don't you see, the sword is brighter than the mirror!"

"If we hadn't given way just now, we might all be dead now."

They congratulated themselves on making the right choice.

"Block the road again!" Black Tooth shouted: "We must get enough food for Lord Wodu today! Let everyone be fed."

If they don't have enough to eat, Mr. Bastard's team will all starve to death without fighting.

"Yes!" When they mentioned food, they became more energetic.

Because of this blockage, Li Qi was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

After several days of driving again, we arrived at Shuijian.

The wide river separates the east and west banks.

Although the bastards were making a lot of noise, they still didn't dare to make trouble at the pier of Shuijian. This was not only related to Longship Castle, but also the interests of other lords. No matter how stubborn the bastards and the little nobles behind them were, they would not dare to come here. come to grief.

Shipping operations are still operating normally.

The men went to negotiate a price and rented several barges to allow Reacher's carriage, horses, goods and soldiers to cross the river.

Taking a boat from Shuijian Pier and walking along the tributary is faster and more comfortable than walking.

The food on the ship surprised the valet and the two retinues, because they found that the people on the ship also ate seafood. Although they later found out that it was river seafood, they looked nothing like it, but they were all in the shell and with meat.

Sometimes human beings' cognition is limited to what they want to know, even if they know they may be mistaken.

Li Qi rarely ate fish.

Although you can catch fish by rushing to the sea, those fish that die on the beach will not be served to the baron's table.

The fish stew doesn't have much seasoning, but it tastes great.

After two days on the boat, we finally docked.

As soon as he landed on land, Li Qi couldn't help but let out a long breath. He was still shaking a little while walking on the ground. He rested for a while before continuing on his way.

Starting from Porcupine Leader, we pass through Pig Ridge Valley, water stream land, and then arrive at Linta Bay.

We have been walking for half a month, but it is better to speed up by taking a boat, otherwise it may take even longer.

Then they have to travel for a while.

During the journey, the environment changed significantly, with more luxuriant vegetation and a large number of stagnant lakes.

"The resources are so good, it makes people jealous," Li Qi sighed.

There were berries growing in the vast tracts of unkempt ground.

There are big fish swimming in some lakes.

There is no way anyone could starve to death in this place.

In comparison, the porcupine collar is really too barren and poor. The more I look at it, the more jealous I become.

Rare birds flew by and landed in the water, and the greedy Li Qi drooled with envy.

When it was getting dark, Li Qi arranged to camp on the spot and rest.

Several soldiers took off their shoes and went into the river to catch fish. After Li Qi nodded, Carrot and Little Joel also took off their shoes and rolled up their trouser legs and rushed in.

After a while, Carrot and Little Joel came over each holding several native silverback fish.

Use reeds to pierce the fish's gills. The fish has a mouth, its gills are shaking, and its tail flicks twice from time to time.

"Sir!" The teenagers showed off their trophies.

"Let's eat grilled fish today." Li Qi nodded.

Although the transportation is not convenient and the surrounding facilities are not perfect, the environment is very good and is more suitable for tourism than the earth.

Fire drives away the chill.

Li Qi instructed his followers to grill the fish, and other soldiers came over to learn. Fires were lit one by one, and then the fragrance wafted away.

Veterans often fought in wars and cooked their own meals, so they still had basic cooking skills.

There are also fires set up by other teams nearby, so don't worry too much about safety.

After eating, he fell asleep. Here, Li Qi had completely cut off contact with the Porcupine Territory. He was sure that the farthest distance to control the corpse was in the water stream.

Rest at night and drive during the day. Green Forest Castle is already in sight.
