Working Prophet

Ilea also felt that the invitations from Purple Bird Flower, Golden Snake and others came at the right time.

The reason why Miss Rabbit has not held a banquet is because she is worried that the spies lurking in the castle will jump out and cause destruction.

All the major families in the Western Region will probably send people to attend the banquet that day. If anything happens, it will become big news.

The girl just wanted to live a peaceful life, so she would rather postpone the banquet until Li Yu helped her find out the secret.

However, although the banquet in the castle cannot be held, there is no problem in patrolling the territory outside the castle.

During this period of time, she always stayed in the room to deal with various difficult government affairs. Ilea felt that her head was getting bigger, but after all, she had just become a lord not long ago, so she was embarrassed to give herself a holiday blatantly.

Sometimes when looking at a large table of government affairs, Ilea would even have a sudden thought, thinking that Saturday seemed good. Not to mention Li Yu's magical methods, it could only ensure that those who believed in it could work for five days and have two days off. fine.

However, Miss Rabbit couldn't help but shudder when she thought that the people in her territory had become Saturday believers and asked her as the lord for a holiday. Her income would be reduced by nearly 30% in the future, and she quickly gave up on this terrible idea. idea.

It seems that there is no hope for Saturday. Fortunately, the girl still has a group of loyal and reliable knights, especially Purple Bird Flower and Golden Snake, who are the best among them.

On the day of the siege, they were the first to surrender, and later captured Diaz, making a great contribution and once again proving their loyalty.

When the other knights returned to their territories with their own troops, the two of them took the initiative to stay, helping to defend the castle, delivering trading pepper to Miss Rabbit, and running errands.

The most important thing is that they are all free of charge, and their status in Ilea's heart has been rising steadily, and is now second only to Alfred and Li Yu.

And their proposal this time hit the girl's heart directly, making the latter very happy. Is there any better excuse to be lazy than patrolling the territory?

As Yago said, this move can also help her win over the people and strengthen her orthodox position in the hearts of the people. It can be said to be both public and private.

So Miss Rabbit no longer hesitated and immediately asked people to prepare the carriage and horses.

Alfred heard that Ilea planned to patrol the territory and insisted on accompanying her. In addition, he also brought two teams of more than 30 guards.

In one fell swoop, the armed forces in the castle were almost wiped out.

Miss Rabbit felt that there were too many people accompanying her, which was not conducive to creating her people-friendly image. Secondly, she was also worried that Teacup Castle would be too empty after she left.

This castle is the foundation of the Arias family, and it is filled with all kinds of war supplies and food reserves, as well as Miss Rabbit's favorite shiny golden korn.

If something goes wrong, let alone falling into the hands of the enemy, or someone takes advantage of the chaos and lights a fire to burn the food and equipment inside, Ilea will be able to have a good drink this winter.

So Miss Rabbit said to her guardian knight, "I have Jude, he can fight five by himself, plus Black Beauty, we can take ten guards and that's about it.

"Don't forget that this is the green field, the territory of the Arias family. Our people are everywhere. When we see the knights in the fief and their manpower, who else can threaten my safety?" "

The old knight was unmoved, "We never give advance notice before a crisis arrives, so all we can do is try to be fully prepared before the crisis occurs."

"But the castle can't just ignore it," the girl said, spreading her hands.

"I will leave my squire Thomas behind, and then recruit fifty militiamen to enter the castle. They may not be able to fight in the field, but they can still be useful in defending the city. After we leave, I will ask Thomas to close the city gate. No one is allowed in or out until we get back.”

"…………"

Ilea felt that Alfred was making a fuss. This was a normal territory patrol. When she was a child, her father often set off with only three or five people, and he never encountered any accidents.

But the girl also knew that the old knight had a very stubborn temper and would rarely change things he had determined, so she said nothing more and acquiesced to this method of handling.

Because she was going to win over the people, Miss Rabbit also brought a lot of bread, sausages and honey wine with her when she went out this time, preparing to distribute them to the welcoming villagers along the way. Of course, someone had to carry these things, plus making fires to make food, taking care of the livestock, and the accompanying staff responsible for daily living. All added together, they finally succeeded in breaking through the fifty mark.

Looking at the vast team, Ilea also felt a little numb.

This was completely different from the scene she had envisioned, where she could travel in a light car and travel while traveling, fully appreciate the local customs, mingle with the local people, and have a happy time.

It turned into an armed parade flexing muscles.

Many people along the way were scared away when they saw this formation from a distance. They thought there was going to be another war, so they hurried back home and closed the doors and windows.

Fortunately, when the team marched to the fiefs of several knights, they encountered some residents who had been organized in advance to welcome them, and heard sparse cheers.

And when Miss Rabbit asked her subordinates to take out the bread, sausage and wine that had been prepared before, the sparse cheers suddenly became warm and sincere.

The girl also felt a bit of a sense of vanity from being supported.

She stepped down from the carriage and stepped on the dirt road in the countryside. Surrounded by guards, she looked around at her dear subjects, thinking about how she could prepare an inspiring speech later, but at this moment Those people were busy fighting for bread, and no one bothered to salute their lord anymore.

Miss Rabbit said hurriedly, "Don't grab it, don't grab it, everyone has a share."

She made her tone sound as gentle as possible and her smile as warm as possible. However, because she was too warm, no one paid attention to her at all, and a group of people had a great time grabbing food.

In the end, for fear of causing a riot, Alfred led people to disperse the serfs and freedmen. Later, two people fought over a half-barrel of mead, and one person's leg was broken.

The good welcome and condolences turned into a farce in the end, which made Miss Rabbit's good mood suddenly disappear, and she even became a little depressed.

However, the girl did not flinch. When Alfred asked her if she wanted to continue patrolling, she still gritted her teeth and nodded.

When they arrived at the next place, Ilea learned from the previous lesson and asked the accompanying guards to maintain order. They divided the welcoming households into several teams and lined them up one by one. She herself joined the people responsible for distributing bread. middle.

He personally distributed the bread brought from the castle to the people waiting in line. This time there was no problem, and the farmers who received the bread left with great gratitude.

The old knight looked at the girl with a look of relief, thinking, Yolanda, have you seen it? Those who underestimate Ilea are fools. How could your daughter not inherit anything from you? She is smart and talented, even if she is still immature now, but given time, she will definitely become an outstanding lord.

In the next few days, Ilea and her entourage repeated the cycle of receiving welcomes, handing out food, and receiving warmer welcomes every time they arrived, without any further mishaps.

Only the last few slightly remote places were left to complete the inspection of the entire territory and return to Teacup Castle.

Since it was already getting late, at the kind invitation of the Purple Sparrow Knight, Miss Rabbit and others decided to settle in his fief first. In order to make Ilea sleep comfortably, the Purple Sparrow Knight even moved his residence to They all gave way.

However, no one expected that the sky in the west would suddenly light up again shortly after nightfall!
