After leaving the capital city where he had stayed for nearly a month, Zhou Yunfei seemed to be very worried on his way back, unlike the cheerful mood when he arrived.
"I must hold on for a while longer, but I'm afraid it will be difficult. Then this winter will be very difficult." Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Zhou Yunfei thought with a frown.
He is praying that the old emperor of Bywister will not die so soon. As long as he is still in power, the four princes will not start a civil war. Judging from the news brought by Jia Xu, this winter,
A terrible event is about to happen in the north. Therefore, the empire cannot be in chaos now, at least until it survives this winter. However, this hope is very slim, and the old emperor may not survive next year.
Diao Chan looked at the young master next to her and frowned, feeling very sorry for him. After all, he was still just a child. No matter how capable he was, Zhou Yunfei was still only a fourteen-year-old boy at this time. Diao Chan could not help as well as Zhuge Liang and the other counselors.
He shares the government affairs and cannot lead troops in battle like Zhao Yun and the others. All she can do is take care of the young master's daily life and food. When he is cold, he cannot freeze. When he is hungry, he can eat the food he cooked. When he is sleepy, he can eat the food he cooked.
She could sleep in a warm bed. This was all she could do. Although it was trivial, she became an indispensable person around Zhou Yunfei.
The bustling Dragon City is changing every day. Many slaves from the Noel Empire are surprised to find that this place is different from the system of their original empire. From despair at the beginning, to surprise, to now hope. Some slaves use their own
With his own hands, he won a better life for his family and escaped from the slave class.
In Dragon City, it is easy for slaves to break away from their status as slaves. As long as you have a skill, as long as you are willing to learn, and as long as you work hard, you can break away from slavery and become a commoner! And the most important thing is your
Your family, because of your efforts, will be freed from slavery! This is such an exciting thing! People who thought that they would become slaves for the rest of their lives, and that their children would also become slaves, when they learned about the system of Dragon City, they wished they could
I split it in half and used it, just for the hope that my wife and children could live a happy life!
Within a month, nearly 20,000 of the 60,000 slaves were freed from their status as slaves! When they learned that they were no longer slaves, they all cried in tears!
Some of them were originally ordinary civilians of the Nohr Empire, some were poor farmers, some were abducted by slave traders, some were captured by nobles for their heads, there were also militiamen who were forced to revolt, and there were even a few down-and-out nobles!
The addition of nearly 20,000 civilians has once again increased the number of citizens in Dragon City. The 20% assimilation effect brought by the high-level Yandi Temple has increased the default number of people in the Dragon City system to 40,000! At this time, Dragon City
The total population of the three areas of the city (Dragon City and Longgang Acropolis) is close to 100,000.
Regarding the above, Zhuge Liang had already contacted Zhou Yunfei through long-distance communication.
After learning that the number of citizens would increase to 50,000 before winter, Zhou Yunfei finally gained some confidence in this winter.
"Forget it, thinking about this now is just adding to the worries. It would be best to discuss it with Zhuge Liang and the others after we go back."
"Come on, Xiaojie, write me the words you learned today." Zhou Yunfei decided to put aside his worries for the time being and called little Jack who was accompanying him. This little guy was very lovable, so Zhou Yunfei helped him pick a name.
Jie Zijun. Diao Chan volunteered to teach Xiaojie how to learn Chinese characters! Xiaojie would learn a few Chinese characters every day, and Zhou Yunfei asked him to write the characters he learned today when he had nothing to do.
"Well, brother, today... I learned... five... five words." Xiaojie still stammered.
"Oh? What five words? Write them for me."
"Yes Yes."
Seeing Xiaojie crookedly writing the five calligraphy characters "dragon", "sun", "moon", "rain" and "cloud", Zhou Yunfei was very pleased and touched Xiaojie's hair.
"Perhaps, the Rus continent will be filled with Chinese culture in the future." Zhou Yunfei thought of Xiaojie's writing and thought that after he unified the continent in the future, he would infiltrate Chinese culture into all aspects of the other world. Perhaps this alone would be able to match the Chinese culture. All the ancestors!
The group of people walked slowly along the road they came from.
...
Outside a small village, Zhou Yunfei and his party were planning to stay overnight.
General Zhao Yun commanded everyone to set up camp quickly and then went to the village to buy some supplies.
Diao Chan quickly cooked a pot of fragrant salty rice. This method was proposed by Zhou Yunfei. Whoever eats the big pot rice knows it. The taste made the four generals who came into contact with it for the first time full of praise. It quickly became a military legend. delicious food!
While eating hot salty rice, Zhou Yunfei watched the soldiers compete in martial arts and enjoyed Diao Chan's hanging shoulders. After riding in the carriage all day, he was indeed very tired.
The bonfire dispelled the coldness of the night. Zhou Yunfei lay next to Diao Chan and soon fell asleep.
In the village far away, several men in black were discussing something.
"Those people outside are the Earl of Longcheng's team, are you sure?"
"In the evening, No. 3 saw General Zhao, who was the general from Longcheng, so we can be sure that it was them outside."
"Very good, things were handled more smoothly this time."
"Understood, No. 1!"
Late at night.
Several soldiers responsible for the night watch were patrolling around the camp, and the leaders were the warriors of the trapped army.
Suddenly, a dark wind hit, and a warrior at the end of the team suddenly turned around and barely blocked the incoming dagger with his shield.
When the soldiers in front heard the sound, they immediately drew their weapons and slashed at the men in black who were attacking the team!
The man in black saw that the blow he was determined to win was actually blocked by a soldier. Before he could be shocked, he saw the other soldiers silently using their weapons to greet him.
Cursing secretly, the man in black had no choice but to dodge and stab the soldiers surrounding him with his dagger.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to fight his way out, a cold light pierced the darkness. The man in black looked at the tip of the spear coming out of his chest, and turned his head with difficulty to look at the enemy who had stabbed him.
The person who came was none other than Zhao Yun. The so-called cold light arrived first, and then the spear came out like a dragon. One hit will kill him!
When the man in black slowly fell down, two black figures flashed outside Zhou Yunfei's tent, slashed the tent with a dagger, and broke into the tent.
But they couldn't see Zhou Yunfei lying on the quilt. They were greeted by two short halberds.
The man holding the halberd was none other than Dian Wei, and the two men were captured by Dian Wei within a few moves!
Outside the camp, the leading man in black saw that there was no commotion in the camp and there was no news from his men, so he knew that the operation might have failed.
Just as he was about to retreat, several shadows walked out of the darkness. The one in the lead was handsome and holding a silver gun, it was Ma Chao!
Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the man in black prepared to fight to the death, but unexpectedly, he was unable to survive two moves in Ma Chao's hands, and was captured by mistake.
Desperation struck instantly, and the man in black was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide. Ma Chao, with his quick eyes and quick hands, struck out with a knife and the man fainted.
Zhou Yunfei was sleeping in the carriage at the moment, with more than a dozen officers from Gao Shun's army guarding him!
This is a game.
In the evening, when Zhao Yun went to the village to purchase goods, he found that he was being watched. Just in case, the fourth general decided to set up this trap at night and secretly informed the sergeant.
Therefore, when the first man in black attacked, that soldier could react immediately, and the other soldiers immediately drew their swords. If not, the man in black might have escaped.
Then Zhao Yun, who had been hiding behind the team, killed him with one shot.
Dian Wei also hid in Zhou Yunfei's tent, waiting for help, and captured the two men in black in one fell swoop.
After Ma Chao received the news that the camp was attacked, he happened to meet the leader while searching outside, and captured him with one move.
At the same time, in order to protect Zhou Yunfei, Gao Shun selected more than ten officers from the trapped army to surround the carriage for personal protection.
Zhou Yunfei was completely unaware of all this, and did not find out until Gao Shun informed the four men in black, one dead and three captured.
Looking at the three people tied up in front of him, Zhou Yunfei slowly said: "Whose order did you receive to assassinate me?"
Seeing that the three of them remained silent, Zhou Yunfei smiled and said, "You think you can keep the secret by not talking? Don't take yourself too seriously. I have plenty of ways to make you speak."
"Hmph! If you want to kill, then kill, don't talk nonsense, we won't talk!" the leader said disdainfully.
"Really? Have you ever heard of such a kind of torture? It involves gouging out a person's eyes, cutting off his tongue, cutting off his nose, piercing his ears, and cutting off his limbs. By the way, the person is not allowed to die. That's it.
Put it in the urn like this and pour some rice soup every day. The taste must be very special." As Zhou Yunfei spoke, the faces of the three of them became paler and paler.
Regardless of them, Zhou Yunfei continued: "There is another kind of punishment, I wonder if you have heard of it. Well, it is to bury the person in the soil and only the head comes out. Then a cut is made on the top of the head, and some honey is poured into it. No
After a while, many ants will be attracted, which makes people feel extremely itchy, but they can't scratch it, so they have to push it up. Guess what happened in the end? Well, there was only a "biu" sound, and the man came out of the ground.
It's just the human skin left underneath. Haha, isn't it interesting?" His words this time not only made the three people turn pale and break out in cold sweat. Even Zhao Yun and others who heard it around them also felt their scalps numb.
.
"Haven't you heard of this? Let me think about it, there is another one that I don't know if you have heard of."
"I said, I said, please let me go!" A man in black collapsed, "Oh, I haven't finished speaking yet, why did you do it! It's boring!" Zhou Yunfei curled his lips, expressing that he was very boring.
, he hasn’t had enough yet.
"Zilong, take him down and ask him carefully. Also." Zhou Yunfei paused, then turned to look at the other two men in black, "Do you two want to do it? If not, forget it. I just want to try it.
I have only heard of these two methods before, but have never tried them. I would like to thank you two for giving me this opportunity!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it too, please let me go." Another man in black also collapsed.
"Hey, why are you so weak-minded? How about you?"
"I...I said." The leader said with a pale face and then collapsed on the ground.
"Tch! It's boring. Take them down, interrogate them separately, and then compare what they said to see if they are lying. I'm sleepy and continue to sleep." Zhou Yunfei yawned, got into the carriage and continued to sleep.
Already.
The three people were taken away by the soldiers respectively. The camp, which had been noisy all night, gradually returned to calm.
