Chapter 1417 The Lord

Zhou Wen took all the challenges and knocked the leader's weapon away with a very easy move, then either kicked the opponent away or put a knife on the leader's neck. Without exception, these failed leaders knelt on the ground with a dead face and surrendered.

As a result, Zhao Hu won completely, and all the surviving bandits surrendered.

"Sir, am I awesome?"

Zhou Wen, sweating all over, immediately ran to Zhao Hu to wait for praise. He did not notice that the guys beside him were secretly shaking their noses and looked obsessed on his face.

Sun Jie was shocked when he smelled a faint fragrance, and thought to himself: "I don't know what Zhou Wen did. Even the sweat smells fragrant. Isn't it smelly? Doesn't it smell bad when his mentality changes? Will even his body change?"

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "It's amazing. I didn't expect your martial arts to be so superb. Keep working hard."

Zhou Wen, who got the praise as he wished, immediately said excitedly: "Yes, my subordinates must work hard to practice! Try to become the most powerful swordsman in the continent!"

Haha, Zhao Hu said to Youan who had been by his side: "Youan, leave a squadron to clean the battlefield, and the others take the prisoners back."

After receiving the order, Yu'an immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to assign tasks. He felt that Lord Zhao Hu could allow him to perform tasks, but Ming didn't care about his crime of issuing orders without authorization.

After returning to the lord's mansion, Zhao Hu sat on the lord's seat. Mode and Nangong Dun stepped forward and took the lead and knelt down and shouted: "See lord."

The bandit leaders behind them lined up in a row and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Master?"

Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen, who stayed in the parliamentary hall, were both stunned. What is this title? According to the meaning of the word, the master is the master and the master is the grand duke. Do they think they are the grand duke?

Zhao Hu knew that something had something to do with the nobles should not be misunderstood. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Please don't call me like this, I'm not the Grand Duke."

Zhou Wen and Sun Jie also looked fierce, knowing that the crime of proclaiming one's name was only one level lower than the rebellion. Liu Bin, who helped apply medicine, burst into laughter.

Hearing Zhao Hu's words and Liu Bin's laughter, the kneeling bandits trembled on their shoulders, while Mo De and Nangong Dun were stunned.

Zhou Wen muttered to Zhao Hu in his ear as he remembered something. Zhao Hu said to the dozens of bandit leaders: "Since you surrender, you must have the awareness of captives. I will not sell you as slaves."

Nangong Dun, who originally wanted to explain, saw that Zhao Hu had dealt with other bandits first, so he didn't say anything for the time being.

Hearing this, the prisoners immediately kowtowed and shouted, "Thank you sir!"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hu said, "But since you are invaders, it is not OK to not punish you. I decided to force you to work for three years. After three years, you will become free people of the abilities. Each of them will own a piece of land and enjoy taxes of ten or one in ten. Are you willing to obey my decision?"

Hearing this condition, the bandits kowtowed again without saying a word. Unexpectedly, they would not only not have to be sold, but also have a share of land after three years of labor. This condition is really great!

This territory not only has a strong guard but also has such low taxes. It is really a good place to settle down and have a happy business. It seems that you have to find an opportunity to bring your relatives and friends.

Seeing that the bandit leaders agreed to their handling, Zhao Hu waved his hand and asked his personal guard to take them down. The parliamentary hall suddenly became empty, and the bandits were only Nangong Dun and Mo De.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Nangong Dun hurriedly said, "Lord, this word "Lord" means the respectful title of your subordinates to you."

When Zhou Wen and Sun Jie heard this, their faces changed drastically, and Zhou Wen even shouted angrily: "Shut up! Do you dare to slander your lord? You're not going to die!"

After being scolded by Zhou Wen like this, Nangong Dun was stunned again. When he heard Zhou Wen's back, "You are really bad-minded! You dare to submit to the adults? You want to frame the adults." Nangong Dun was immediately amused and could only look at Mo De helplessly.

Mode, who had a tense face and refused to let himself laugh, felt that he had no choice but to lower his head and remained silent.

Anyway, Miyazao was also a wealthy family before, so he could only leave it to him to explain. Mo De, who has no surname, couldn't explain it even if he wanted to.

When Nangong Dun wanted to explain, Liu Bin smiled and said, "Sir, this lord is the title of our Eastern Continent. It has several meanings: one is the title of the minister to the monarch, the second is the title of the servant to the master, and the third is the title of the guest to the male master.

"However, in the Eastern Continent, it is usually used by those direct subordinates of the powerful princes, but I don't know how to learn the title of the Eastern Continent on the Southeast Peninsula."

When Liu Bin suddenly remembered something, his face became unnatural when he became.

He was still sneering at Zhao Hu just now, but now he realized that if Zhao Hu took in two subordinates who called him "Lord" and there would definitely be some people who suspected that Zhao Hu wanted to be independent!

Nangong Dun obviously understood this, so he didn't say anything. Mo De, who had gained knowledge from Liu Bin's words, showed off: "Lord, we are your subordinates, so it's right to call you the lord!"

"You dare to be in trouble!" Zhou Wen rushed up and kicked Mo De, which scared Mo De so much that he knelt down and did not dare to say anything.

Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "Please call me a lord, yes, I remember when I subdued you, yours were loyal, right? Can you understand why you two are willing to surrender to me?"

"Major!"

Nangong Dun and Mod were both surprised. They also knew that in the August Empire, the major or above could be enthroned. Could it be that the person they surrendered to was the lowest among the powerful people who owned the territory in the empire?

But this is impossible. Can a major have nearly two thousand cavalry guards? Even the big city lord on his side is not so luxurious!

Although he was thinking about it, the boss who was responsible for the future food and drink expenses had to answer his own answer. Mo De, who had a relatively straightforward understanding of this, was the first to speak out: "I..."

Mo De originally wanted to be a subordinate, but when Zhou Wen glared, he immediately changed his words.

"I can't make any meals on the Southeast Peninsula. Seeing that the adults are so strong, I want to surrender. Don't worry, as long as the adults are not destroyed, my subordinates will not turn to others. This is a custom on our Southeast Peninsula."

Zhao Hu was stunned. Did this guy do it on purpose or is he like this in nature? He was so tremendous that he would not leave as long as he was not destroyed?

Although this is human nature, it shouldn't be so straightforward. Aren't you afraid that your boss will get angry? Thinking of this, Zhao Hu looked at Nangong Dun.

"I hope to use the power of the adults to recreate the glory of the Nangong family." Nangong Dun looked expressionless.

"Recreate your family's glory? You should find a good force on the Southeast Peninsula to surrender. The forces on the Southeast Peninsula will be easier for you to achieve your goals." Zhao Hu said with a smile.

Nangong Dun thought about it for a while and thought it would be better to tell the truth.

"Sir, even if the Nangong family was in the glorious period, it was a city lord. After losing most of the warriors and territory, no one would take a look.

"And the Southeast Peninsula has always been a fallen dog for the powerless forces, and there is no timely help. So if our Nangong family does not want to perish, we can only surrender to outside forces."

When Zhou Wen and Sun Jie heard Nangong Dun's words, they both curled their lips disdainfully. At the most glorious time, there were only one city lord, and there were thousands of cities on the southeastern peninsula. Such a force seemed to be very powerful. He was really a frog in a well!

"Oh, since you want my master to help you regain your glory, what do you want to repay? Just about your so-called samurai?" After taking care of Locke, Luo Fei, Odi, who had just come in from outside, interrupted and asked.

Hearing this, Nangong Dun immediately said: "The Nangong family can give the adults a bridgehead to attack the Southeast Peninsula."

Mode immediately answered and said, "I can lead the way for you! We are very familiar with the coastal guide!"

"Without the military command, it is impossible for the Emperor to attack the Southeast Peninsula." Zhao Hu shook his head.

Nangong Dun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can plunder the Southeast Peninsula in the name of thieves, and the Nangong family is willing to take care of the occupied territory for the lord!"

Mo De continued again: "I am willing to serve the lord!"

When Oudi saw Zhao Hu saying nothing, he immediately sneered: "You think well, we will take our lives to conquer the territory and you will take charge of it. How can such a good thing happen in the world!"

"This lord, this is not the case. Since you cannot occupy it blatantly, you can only support the locals as the city lord. If you don't do this, you will definitely attract siege from all the forces around you!" Gong Dun explained.

Mod also said, "Yes, sir, in fact, the powerful and powerful people of the Empire and the Free Alliance have many of them who have captured their own territory like you, but they were all besieged by forces from all directions and finally they had to leave helplessly. The people in the Southeast Peninsula are still very united in this regard."

Zhao Hu, who was not good at bargaining, gave Odi a wink at Odi, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Even if this is the case, what benefits can we get? Don't pay the taxes much. I believe that you understand the economy of the Southeast Peninsula more than us."

Hearing this, Mod looked at Odi silly, making Odi feel uncomfortable and didn't know what he was wrong.

Nangong Dun said helplessly: "Sir, I'm afraid you have been misunderstood by those rumors. The profits obtained by the city lords on the coast are very amazing by just selling goods from the two countries. For example, Mingyue City, the closest to here, makes more than 30,000 gold coins every month from trading at both ends!"
