The carriage swayed all the way in the air.
In the process, Chen Zhou experienced the feeling of flying.
Until passing a village, the steel torrent suddenly stopped, and
Qin Ru in front sent a call: "Chen Zhou, I need you to come over here..."
Chen Zhou immediately dressed, stepped out of the carriage, and in an instant, flew towards the torrent of steel.
The two female griffins in charge of the carriage did not see Chen Zhou's figure clearly.
However, in the carriage, the other sisters were turned upside down, so that they just glanced at it, and immediately blushed.
"What happened?"
Soon, Chen Zhou landed in front of the torrent of steel, and further ahead, a group of strange villagers.
Looking at the costume, it should be someone near the border of the Iron Eagle Country.
"After a long day of trekking, I had just asked people to go to a nearby village to borrow some well water to quench the thirst of the soldiers. As a result..."
Qin Ru shrugged: "It seems that these villagers have misunderstood. "
The old village chief at the head of the front was holding a plate of coins in his hand
, mainly silver and copper coins, only a pitiful gold coin or two on the top.
All the coins added up to this pile of coins, it is estimated that the amount of ten gold coins will not exceed the amount of ten gold coins, which should be the income of their village for a year, and it
is also the highest "protection fee" that he, the village chief, can take out now.
Opposite him, it was Xia Xingsheng who negotiated with the old village chief, naturally saying that he would not accept this pile of coins.
But the old village chief did not have the slightest joy about this, but was even more anxious and fearful, and also said that Xia Xingsheng would accept everything, so he almost took the whole village to kneel and beg him....
Chen Zhou frowned slightly: "A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, isn't it good to untie it?"
"The problem is this misunderstanding, which is not very easy to solve."
Qin Ru smiled helplessly: "You have also seen the wolf cavalry army of this country and what they have done to their border villagers."
In their opinion, their own country's army is so cruel, and we, strangers, are even less likely to let them go.
Now we don't accept these coins, we just make them think that we want more....
This is the inertia of thinking that they have long been accustomed to, and it is not something that we can reverse the change by saying a few words.
Oh, see for yourself!
Qin Ru raised his chin and gestured to look at the villagers on the opposite side:
"There is no means of resistance, and there is no place to reason when it is beaten, for them, there is only one option left to curry favor."
As long as they can survive, even women are willing to give them out..." As if
thinking that Xia Xingsheng did not like money, the old village chief quickly pulled out several girls who were following behind him, and the village was at a wonderful age.
This is a backup means that he has long prepared.
The old village chief has already experienced a lot of this kind of thing, and knows that many soldiers and masters are running around all year round, and there is no place to spend money at all, so they don't like coins.
On the contrary, he has nowhere to vent his energy, and he has to play with women all night in every village.
The population of many border villages has not been able to grow for many years, and it is difficult to even maintain a certain number, because half of the young women in it will be played to death by them....
At this moment, the old village chief is also a hundred unwilling, but it is better to send some women to suffer than to bury the whole village together.
And as long as they serve this group of soldiers well, they will not necessarily die, and when the time comes, they should be able to go back to the village to recuperate for a few months, and they should be able to work in the fields.
The old village chief could only silently pray for them in his heart....
However,
Xia Xingsheng naturally refused again and again.
This startled the old village chief.
No money, no women, then the last thing they want, only ...
Head!
Military service is common in the Otherworld, and the Iron Eagle Country naturally also has it, and it is more stringent.
Most of the aristocratic and wealthy merchants were also inevitable to serve
, and in order to reduce the time for military service, they would use the heads of border villagers as enemy military heads in exchange for battle merits, so that they could retire from the battlefield early.
In order to obtain a large number of heads at once, this part of the nobility often unites with other regular armies and directly slaughters the village....
Therefore, the eliminated village will be reported to the above on the grounds that it has been invaded by monsters or slaughtered by enemy troops, and some money will be stuffed casually, and no one will come to investigate this matter.
Thinking of this
, the old village chief picked up the pile of coins again, sending money and pushing women, only begging Xia Xingsheng to let their village go.
Xia Xingsheng was even more distressed now.
It doesn't make sense, it's impossible to accept gold coins, and it's even more impossible to take these girls.
Looking at these terrified girls, they really couldn't bear it, and they didn't know what to do for a while, turned
around, saw Chen Zhou, and quickly waved for help.
Chen Zhou thought for a while:
"You wait first, I'll bring someone over."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Zhou disappeared in place.
Within a few seconds, he appeared in front of Shi Jiuqing.
"I'll take the little princess to meet the world."
Then, without waiting for Shi Jiuqing to reply, Chen Zhou picked up the little princess from her back and disappeared again.
Before returning to the villagers
, Chen Zhou didn't care about the little princess who was still confused, and directly took the plate of coins and handed it to Xia Xingsheng.
"Put it away first."
Xia Xingsheng was stunned, and quickly said: "This is not in line with the rules, even in the other world, we can't take the things of ordinary people casually..."
Chen Zhou smiled: "Gain trust and return it to them later, or leave food at the same price."
Otherwise, you can't really take these women back, right?
Xia
Xingsheng hesitated, looked at the poor girls, and finally nodded silently.
Seeing that he finally accepted the "protection fee", the old village chief felt a little relieved and no longer pushed the girls, but he did not dare to pull them back now.
The old village chief could see that Chen Zhou, who suddenly appeared, was the person who spoke to them.
At this moment, he could only look at Chen Zhou cautiously, waiting for his meaning.
"Old village chief, your village should have well water, right?"
Chen Zhou smiled and said, "We want some, quench your thirst."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The
village chief hurriedly led Chen Zhou and several others into the village.
There was not a single other villager on the road, they were all hiding in their wooden houses, and they only dared to secretly look at Chen Zhou through the window.
The little princess only came back to her senses at this time
, she had never been to such a dilapidated village, and she was also full of curiosity at this time, looking around.
But no matter which person in the wooden house, as long as they noticed that the little princess was coming, they would immediately close the wooden window with a look of horror.
This made the little princess a little puzzled: "What are they afraid of?
Chen Zhou smiled: "On the surface, I am afraid of me, but I am actually afraid of you, and you will understand later." Entering
the village chief's house
, Chen Zhou drank several wells of water, which was sweet and delicious.
After confirming that there was no problem, he asked Xia Xingsheng to send the water back.
Then Chen Zhou looked at the cramped and uneasy old village chief and introduced himself: "Old village chief, you should not know who
I am, I am a person from the Dragon Country bordering your Iron Eagle Country, and I am almost the same as you, and I am also a village chief." "
Dragon Kingdom?"
The old village chief looked puzzled.
The surrounding bordering countries, he remembered that there was only one hundred leagues, when did a dragon country appear?
"We've only been here for a few days, it doesn't matter if you don't know now, just write it down, we may still deal with each other in the future."
As for this..."
Chen Zhou patted the little princess on the head: "She is the little princess of your Iron Eagle Country.
"Male... Princess?!
The old village chief was taken aback, compared to the Dragon Country that he had never heard of, the identity of this princess of the Iron Eagle Country scared him even more.
As soon as his legs were soft, the old village chief knelt down and saluted.
"No thanks!"
The little princess spoke up to stop: "I'm not a princess now..."
The old village chief looked confused and looked at Chen Zhou strangely.
The news of the border villages is usually relatively closed, Chen Zhou today with the feat of hitting the royal capital with a torrent of steel
, not to mention their border villages, it is estimated that now the entire Iron Eagle Country except for the people in the royal capital, not many people in other places know about it.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the old village chief to know so much.
Chen Zhou didn't bother to explain too much, and said casually: "It's a long story, she will go to our Dragon Kingdom after that and study for a while."
Our Dragon Kingdom does not have an aristocratic hierarchy, so she will temporarily let go of her status as a princess.
Then Chen Zhou turned his head and said with a kind smile on his face: "Old village chief, can I ask you a few questions?" Old
village chief: "Please say."
"Have you seen us before today?"
The old village chief shook his head: "No..." "
But there are people like my Dragon Kingdom who have robbed you of your wealth, killed your villagers, and raped your women?"
The old village chief paused, and shook his head slightly: "No..."
Chen Zhou's smile grew colder, and his tone became lower: "Then why do you think that I will also do these bad things to you?"
"This..."
The old village chief was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"If you can't answer, I'll help you answer."
Chen Zhou's tone was light: "Is it often that people burn and loot you, causing you to see other armies and think that it will be a good thing
, so even if you face a soldier of my Dragon Kingdom who you have never met, you will only think of paying money and women to keep you safe?"
Hearing this, the little princess wrinkled her little face, looked at the old village chief and asked, "What he said is true?" Who did it!?
"This..." The
old village chief did not dare to look at the little princess, let alone how to answer.
Chen Zhou didn't care either, and continued to ask, "Old village chief, your village is in the territory of the Iron Eagle Country, can it be regarded as a civilian of the Iron Eagle Country?"
The old village chief nodded: "Count, we will pay the poll tax every year..."
Chen Zhou turned to look at the little princess: "Since they paid the poll tax, your Iron Eagle Country should have the obligation to protect them."
The little princess straightened her chest and looked up, with a proud expression: "Of course!"
Chen Zhou smiled brightly: "Then let me ask you, the Wolf Cavalry Army, can it be regarded as the troops of your Iron Eagle Country?" The
little princess was slightly stunned, already realizing something:
"You mean... It was the wolf cavalry that burned and plundered the villagers?
Chen Zhou smiled and said nothing.
The old village chief bowed his head deeply.
Seeing that both of them acquiesced to this, the little princess abruptly stood up from her chair, unwilling to admit: "Impossible!"
You are the people of the Iron Eagle Country, and the Wolf Cavalry Army, as the warriors of the Iron Eagle Country, how could they do such a thing to you? "
This, this, this..." The old village chief didn't know what to say.
Years of obedience have made the old village chief accustomed to all this, and at this moment, he doesn't even have the mind to complain to the little princess...
Seeing this, Chen Zhou silently took out the tablet from the shuttle space
, opened last night's satellite surveillance video, and handed it to the little princess.
"No matter how much you say, you can't believe it, seeing is believing, see for yourself."
The little princess took the tablet suspiciously.
This video content is somewhat impactful for children of her age who have never seen anything in the world.
But Chen Zhou thought that as the princess of the Iron Eagle Country, it was necessary for her to take a look....
"Ready?"
Seeing the little princess nodding, Chen Zhou turned on the play.
When she first saw the picture on the screen move, the little princess's eyes lit up slightly, feeling all the novelty of this thing in her hand.
But as the video played, when she saw the wolf cavalry army rushing into the village regardless of it, the little princess's face gradually became gloomy.
Immediately after, there is the picture of the wolf cavalry slashing and killing the rebellious villagers....
The little princess's body trembled violently, and the hand holding the tablet was a little unstable.
Chen
Zhou said coldly, "This is not the tip of the iceberg that your Iron Eagle Country has created for so many years." The
little princess didn't say a word.
Much more stubborn than Chen Zhou imagined, she didn't blink her eyes, didn't accelerate for a second, and watched the whole process of the wolf cavalry army doing evil.
When Chen Zhou found out, he noticed that this little princess, who was separated from her father and abducted from the royal capital by herself, did not shed a single tear
, but at this moment quietly shed tears.
"I'm sorry..."
the little princess looked at the old village chief, clutching the tablet tightly, ignoring the tears that flowed:
"I didn't know that the Wolf Cavalry Army would actually do such a thing, otherwise... I will definitely stop them!
But I'm just a princess, and my father doesn't want to tell me, I really don't know these things... I really don't know..."
This sudden scene made the old village chief not know how to react.
Chen Zhou was very satisfied.
It can be seen that the little princess is really guilty of this.
But that's not enough....
Chen Zhou was ready to strike while the iron was hot and show the little princess something.
Taking her out of the village, Shi Jiuqing was already waiting outside.
The little princess told her everything she saw with tears in her eyes, and Shi Jiuqing hugged her with a pitying look and comforted
: "Your Royal Highness, it's not your fault..."
But the little princess did not stop crying: "You all call me princess... I am royalty, of course I have a responsibility!
Do you know about this too? Did you hide it from me too? Shi
Jiuqing did not answer.
"Crying is useless. Stay up and I'll take you to another place.
Chen Zhou picked up the little princess, and the two sat on Shi Jiuqing.
In the blink of an eye,
the three came to a village of the deer antler tribe.
Looking at the ruins all over the ground, just when the lion was in love for a long time and the little princess was puzzled,
Chen Zhou told the story of the deer and the seventh deer lady in detail.
How they witnessed the brutalization of their parents and brothers and the burning of their villages.
As for how they were captured by the mountain thieves, they worked hard to let the youngest Lu Qi escape
, and finally the youngest Lu Qi, how alone, spent the night asking for help in another uninhabited village, until Chen Zhou appeared the next day...
The little princess listened silently to all this.
Shi Jiuqing frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with the Iron Eagle Country?"
Chen Zhou sneered: "This village was slaughtered by mountain thieves, and this group of mountain thieves was because they accepted the baron's trade and purchase, and the baron
was trying to take this group of antlers who were younger than the little princess to curry favor with your national master."
Chen Zhou looked at the little princess:
"Understood?" This village was also destroyed because of your Iron Eagle Country.
Because of you, they lost their parents and family, lost the village on which they depended, and became orphans.
And all this, the king of the Iron Eagle Country knows ... Do you still want to say that this has nothing to do with your Iron Eagle Country? Shi
Jiuqing was stunned.
The little princess bit her lower lip tightly, and tears fell indisputably.
This time, there was not only guilt, but also more complex and unspeakable emotions, surging in her small body....
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Chen Zhou did not continue to say anything.
There must be villages like the Antlers around, look for them, and there are probably black markets like Falling Moon Square.
But today has already let the little princess see enough dark side of the Iron Eagle Country, and there is no need to take her around.
"You said you would pay for your father... From today, let's think about how to pay it back.
Chen Zhou rubbed the little princess's head.
After that,
Shi Jiuqing drove them back to the Qiming base.
After landing, leave the education of the little princess to the professionals.
The 12-hour cooldown was almost here, and Chen Zhou was about to go back to Earth, when Lin Guyan just stepped forward to find him:
"Found that Count Li!"
