"Because Tianxing, the battalion commander of the Wild Wolf Corps, performed outstandingly in the Battle of Xiaguan, in order to commend those officers and soldiers who fought on the front line, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Kingdom, Tianxing was canonized as Lord of the Stars in the name of Gu. I hope that Lord Xingchen will do so in the future.
We can continue our efforts to make greater contributions to our motherland."
Long Yao, the king of Canglong Kingdom, had a solemn face. He placed the emperor's sword on Tianxing's head and made a solemn announcement that Tianxing was officially canonized as Lord of the Stars.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live Your Majesty!"
Although it was a bitch, Tianxing still thanked loudly according to the etiquette officer's instructions. After kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times, he raised his hands and took the token representing his identity from the master of ceremony. From now on, Tianxing officially became
A lord of the kingdom.
"Ping Sheng! Lord Xingchen, in order to commend you for your contribution to the kingdom, you can now make a reasonable request."
Seeing the token that represents the identity of Tianxing, Long Yao said something out of habit. Zeng Feng, who had a hundred new nobles, made him feel tired. Repeating a certain thing is still boring.
"Your Majesty! I think that I am not qualified for my current position because of my lack of talent and knowledge. I hope that I can go to my own territory and work hard to develop my territory. I hope that I can manage my territory well for the kingdom."
Tianxing is not the first nobleman to be canonized. These civilian nobles are among the last group of noblemen to be canonized. Tianxing is precisely the first civilian nobleman to be canonized. Among the ninety noblemen in front of him, only those who came from the army are
All made the same request as Tianxing.
It turns out that there is a reason for this. Many nobles send their children into the army in order to get the title of noble. In the future, when you upgrade the noble level, it will not make much difference whether you are in the army or not, but as long as you are in the army,
There is no guarantee of absolute safety. If a noble child dies on the battlefield after being canonized, all efforts will be in vain.
In order to protect their own interests, all the nobles came up with a way, which was finally approved by the king, that is, when they were canonized, they had an opportunity to leave the army. The young kings who were canonized before always knew what questions needed to be asked.
There is no need to ask about those.
There were too many people conferred at once today, and the king was used to asking. When it was Tianxing's turn, the king continued to ask questions out of habit. Therefore, Tianxing got a lucky opportunity, so he immediately asked himself like the military nobles in front.
requirements.
"That's right!"
When the king heard Tianxing's request, he realized that he had talked too much. Civilians did not get this kind of treatment, but the words had been spoken and it was impossible to change them. So Tianxing successfully retired from the army. Sometimes luck is more important than anything else. If
Even if the king is accustomed to Tianxing, he would not have this opportunity. If he is not ranked first among all the civilian nobles who are about to be canonized, then the opportunity cannot be his. Luck can sometimes change many things. Of course, if you can't seize it,
This opportunity was all in vain.
Obviously, the civilian nobles behind him no longer have the same luck as Tianxing. Of course, Tianxing immediately understood how lucky he was. Being able to leave the battlefield was better than anything else. Luck could not always follow him. Maybe his life would be lost in the next battle.
The battlefield is on.
When Tianxing discovered that his luck was incredible, even if the fiefdom he was assigned was the poorest among all the fiefdoms, it still couldn't ruin Tianxing's good mood. In Tianxing's mind, being able to stay away from the battlefield was better than anything else.
Du Qiang. After the canonization ceremony, Tianxing and other nobles without strong backgrounds were not invited by the palace. Zhang Sheng was wrong about this.
Those who can get invitations from the palace are those nobles with very sophisticated backgrounds, or the children of big families. Commoner nobles like Zhang Kun are not qualified to accept invitations from the palace, but these Tianxing didn't care, and Tianxing ran to the palace excitedly.
The military headquarters eliminated his status as battalion commander and left the army.
Then he happily took Lan'er and quickly left the royal city. Now he just wanted to leave the royal city and rush to his own territory. What if the king regretted it? Of course, this possibility was slim, but Tianxing still took him with him before closing the city gate.
Then Lan'er left the royal city.
Qingshui Town is located in the southwest of the kingdom, close to the Titan Mountains. The land is barren and full of hills. Because of the lack of fertile farmland and the remote location, it is very poor. There is only such a small town within a hundred miles.
The rest of the country is desolate and uninhabited.
There is a canyon to the south of the town. Through this canyon, you can reach the Maple Leaf Empire. Like the Canglong Dynasty, the Maple Leaf Empire is a small kingdom attached to the Holy Dragon Empire. Since both parties are tributaries of the Holy Dragon Empire, neither party is in this area.
Military strategists built fortresses and stationed troops in battlegrounds.
Because this is the only corridor connecting the Canglong Dynasty and the Maple Leaf Empire within five hundred miles, countless merchants come and go between the two countries from here every year. They transport the Canglong Dynasty’s items from here to the Maple Leaf Empire.
, and then transported back some of the best-selling goods in the Canglong Dynasty from the Maple Leaf Empire.
The predecessor of Qingshui Town was just a small village. With the arrival of businessmen, it gradually prospered and developed into a small town, attracting civilians from hundreds of square kilometers nearby to settle here. Also due to the geographical location
The reason is that dragons and snakes are mixed here. All the wanted criminals from the Wanderers have come here. Not only the wanted criminals from Canglong, but also the wanted criminals from Maple Leaf have also come here to avoid pursuit.
There are three most powerful groups in the entire town. One is the Snake Gang, which is composed of Maple Leaf wanted criminals and wandering warriors led by Viper. Their composition is the most complex and the most powerful. The Snake Gang controls the smuggling of all weapons in the vicinity. The second group
The force is the Beast Alliance formed by Warcraft. They are composed of Canglong wanted criminals and wandering warriors. Their strength is second only to the Snake Gang. They control the sales of all Warcraft items here.
The weakest is the alliance formed spontaneously by merchants. They are mainly loose alliances composed of all merchants, and their purpose is to protect their own caravans. Of course, there are more small gangs. Officially, because of the existence of these people, Xin'an Town is the largest city in the world.
The most prosperous town within a hundred miles.
The Canglong Kingdom has set up a mayor and a brigade of soldiers here, but these people are nothing more than decorations. They have been completely infiltrated by the three forces and have become the best guns in their hands. Their main function is to intimidate
The surrounding civilians protected the three forces.
On this day, two young men and women came to the town. Judging from their tired appearance, they must have traveled a long way to get here. They were different from other outsiders who came here. They did not immediately come here.
Looking for a place to stay, he walked directly to the government office in the town. They were Tianxing and Lan'er. Tianxing and Lan'er walked for a full month before arriving here. This was the territory assigned to him by the kingdom.
As soon as he entered the small town, Tianxing found that his territory was not only not poor at all, but also very prosperous. Tianxing knew that the more prosperous the town, the greater the resistance he would have to take over the town. This was completely beyond Tianxing's expectation, but since he came
No matter how big the difficulty is, we have to overcome it. After all, this is a territory conferred by the king, and he is also the highest chief executive here.
"Tell your mayor that Lord Xingchen has come to take over his territory and ask him to come out and mess with me immediately."
Tianxing looked at the few gangster-like yamen servants at the gate of the town government office and said calmly. Not to mention that these yamen servants stood loosely, they were all fierce-looking guys. It would be more appropriate to say that they are yamen servants than they are hooligans.
Dian. When they saw Lan'er, they all showed fascinated eyes. They looked at Lan'er nakedly, and Lan'er was so frightened that she hid behind Tianxing.
But after hearing Tianxing's words, they immediately stopped in their tracks and swallowed back the teasing that was about to come out again. One of the yamen servants quickly thought and ran over, and the others immediately knelt on the floor when they saw Tianxing's token.
Soon an old man with sly eyebrows and sly eyes came out accompanied by the government servant, and looked at Tianxing from afar.
"Your Majesty, my lord, Hu Li, the mayor of Xinan Town, please come in. Your Majesty, I received the express report from the royal city very early, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
After seeing Tianxing's token, Hu Li immediately invited Tianxing in with a smile. Seeing Hu Li's fake smile, Tianxing felt that his parents were really talented, and this guy really looked like a fox.
"Sir, your territory is an area with a radius of five kilometers from the center of Qingshuiwei. There are a total of 6,378 people in the entire area. There are three villages in one town. 3,287 of them live in the town, and the rest are scattered in the other three.
There is a large group of soldiers in each village and territory. The remaining assets are 800 gold coins and several items. All the detailed information is in front of you."
With a respectful look, Hu Li introduced Tianxing to the government office while introducing the situation of his territory. When he entered the government office, he pointed at the thick stack of account books on the table and told Tianxing.
"Very good! Thank you for your hard work. I am not familiar with these things. I hope you can continue to hold the position of mayor. All things should be done as before. I am already very tired. I will take me to rest now.
place."
Seeing Hu Li's appearance, Tianxing realized that he was really too reckless and brought a servant. The only way now is to stabilize the other party. After all, the other party has been running Qingshui Town and is a standard local snake. Other things
We can only do it slowly. Now we must first stabilize the pig-headed old fox. Soon, Tianxing settled in the government office under Hu Li's arrangement.
"Everyone! The main reason I have called you here today is to tell you some bad news. The Lord appointed by the Kingdom has arrived today. What do you think we should do about this?"
The secret room of opinions was filled with prominent figures in Xin'an Town. Three of them sat in the main seat without understanding. Hu Li sat below them and spoke calmly.
"What else can we do? If he knows the truth, he will continue to be his lord. If he doesn't, he will go underground and continue to be the lord."
A strong man with a ferocious face said fiercely, this is Warcraft, who is famous for his fiery temper. His words immediately won the support of most people.
"According to the news sent from the royal city, our lord was once a commoner and was made a noble because of his good luck. But today he came here with only one maid. Is there any other conspiracy?
Or you don’t take us seriously at all, I don’t know. What do you think?”
Hu Li was full of doubts about Tianxing coming here with only one maid, but no matter how much he thought, he couldn't guess that Tianxing was the kind of pure novice who came directly without any preparation.
"In any case, he is a nobleman conferred by the king himself. If we really kill him, the kingdom will not let us go. You must know that the noble master is still very persistent sometimes. He is an official for thousands of miles just for wealth. I think we should first
Test the lord’s true thoughts.”
The president of the Business Alliance first expressed his thoughts. As a businessman, he believed that all things could be solved with money. He did not want to be as fiery as the one just now, who was always shouting and killing.
"Let's do what we discussed before. Why do you want to do so much? As long as he is his own lord, everything will be fine. If he wants to block our way of making money, don't blame us for being ruthless."
In the end, Viper made the decision. As the most powerful helmsman here, Viper's words are equal to authority. After all, Tianxing is also a lord canonized by the kingdom. If he kills Tianxing, the kingdom will soon send other lords to take over, in case the nobles are angered.
Master, everyone here can only continue to run away.
