Chapter 5 King and Minister
Rong State, Juma Province, Wigolan County.
A team of strange red-engraved knights rushed from the official road. They were agile, but each had a very stylish figure that was very different from a man. They were actually a team of female knights.
Judging from the left chest of the armor they were wearing, the hideous skull turned out to be the famous symbol of the Demon God Army.
This also means that this group of people belongs to the most elite troops of Weirong Kingdom.
The red knights were running all the way and approached the gate of Wigolan County. A group of Weirongmen in standard uniforms stood there at the gate of the city. Seeing the red knight approaching, a guy who looked like a squad leader walked out, closed his hands at the mouth and shouted: "The visitor stopped. Now the martial law in Wigolan County is in danger, and no entry into the city is allowed."
The red knights seemed to have not heard it, but only heard the neat sound of horse hooves like thunder.
The closer you get.
The female knight in the lead had red tassels on her silver helmet on her head, and her soft leather armor could not cover up her amazing curves at all. The protective gear on her legs was only one-third of her thighs, revealing a piece of round and slender thigh. The female knight's appearance was not beautiful, and there was even a scar around her eyes. However, all this was combined with her facial features, giving people a strange beauty, like a female war god in mythology.
At this time, the female knight didn't look at the shouting soldier Wei Rong in front of him. The red horse under his crotch rushed away without slowing down.
"Stop...stop..."
The soldier saw that the horse's two front hooves had been raised to his head, and he screamed, rolling to the side and running away, covered in mud.
The group of Wei Rong soldiers behind quickly pulled out their weapons.
The female knight in charge snorted coldly: "The whole army charges, I see who dares to stop us! I don't know whose territory Vigolan is!"
The female knights behind him raised their spears together.
These female knights are amazingly agile. The knights are even more amazing. There is no suspense at all. The group of guard soldiers could not stop them. Several of them were knocked away. If the female knights were not interested in showing mercy to their compatriots, it might not be as simple as being injured.
The whirlwinds rushed through the city gate, and the female knights rushed towards the city lord's mansion without stopping.
The door was in a mess. The Wei Rong soldiers who had just fled came forward to help the soldiers who had knocked to the ground. Some people looked at the direction of the red knights with lingering fear and said in surprise: "Where are the girls from? They are so powerful."
At this time, the man who looked like a squad leader hurried into the city gate and shouted a man: "Report to the Duke quickly, this group of ladies should be the personal guards of the Demon General back then."
Running all the way.
The female knights of the Red Command came to the city lord's mansion and saw Obsidian leading a group of Vigolan officials there to welcome the marquis.
"General Hongniangzi, you are finally here!"
Obsidian bowed to the female knight who jumped off the horse and was the leader. The Hongniang, who was incorporated by Yang Zheng, was now a general, belonging to the Demon God Army, commanding a group of women's army developed from the Iron Lady's Water Poker. In Weirong, there was never a precedent for women to join the army. After Yang Zheng left, these legacy guards were originally only left in Vigolan County. Later, news of Yang Zheng's death came. These guards almost fell apart. Perhaps because those who followed Yang Zheng to Vigolan were all elites of the Demon God Army, they were not willing to obey the commander. They just wanted to avenge the general. Later, Rachel knew the news from where they didn't know where, and rushed as sister Yang Zheng.
He comforted the people and reused them. The Demon God Army was originally just a nickname in praise of people, but there was no such organization. Rachel suppressed countless oppositions and directly organized a Demon God Army. Later, the Eastern Front Army was also integrated, marking that Yang Zheng had a skeleton mask. Now most of the personal guards are now in the Demon God Army. The youngest one is already a squadron leader, and many of them have become generals. The group of Demon God Army led by Hong Niangzi has also developed to 3,000 people and is affiliated with the Demon God Army. Naturally, she has become the highest officer of this Demon God Army. Because of her outstanding military achievements, even the title of aristocratic rank has been promoted to the second-class marquis.
Although Obsidian took over Yang Zheng as the lord of Wigolan County, his noble title was still only a third-class marquis. Although the two were divided into military and political systems, Obsidian still had to hold the etiquette of subordinates.
Hong Niang asked her subordinates to settle down first with the officials sent by Obsidian.
Then as Obsidian walked into the lord's mansion, compared with when Yang Zheng left Vigolan, Vigolan had completely escaped from the trouble of floods, the city was developing rapidly, and it had the largest subway ore resources of Weirong Kingdom. It was difficult for the divine county to be prosperous. Yang Zheng was indeed right. He was better than Obsidian in war, but when it comes to being a lord to manage the city county, Obsidian was more professional than him.
Nowadays, the land of Weigulan has become an economic lifeline of the Weirong Kingdom.
Every year, 80% of the Weirong Kingdom's iron-forming and 20% of the local treasury taxes will be provided.
Such a
The town is really hard not to be jealous.
The Lord's Mansion is exactly the same as when Yang Zheng left. Obsidian was considered to be diligent. Although the Lord could draw amazing benefits from the iron ore trade tax every year, he put it in the transformation of the county town, and his life was not much different from that of ordinary people.
Sitting in the small hall, Obsidian asked the others to step down first, and a man dressed in a maid walked in from the side hall, holding tea in his hand.
Seeing Hongmao, the maid called out in surprise: "Sister Hongmao!"
"Qiqi," the smile melted on the cold face of Hongmazi: "Long time no see, why are you still doing these chores here?"
Qiqi was Yang Zheng's maid back then, and she had a good relationship with Hong Niangzi. After Yang Zheng died, she had nowhere to go. Hong Niang asked Obsidian to take care of her, but she didn't expect that she was still a maid, and she felt a little unhappy. Obsidian was about to explain, but Qiqi said, "It's me that I want to do something myself. Lord Lord gives me a lot of money every month. I'm idle and idle, so it's okay to help Lord Lord Lord do something."
The Hong Madam looked at Obsidian and saw the other party smile bitterly: "I have never treated her as a servant. Since I am... the maid of the former lord, I will definitely arrange her life well and will not let her be wronged."
When the three words "The First Lord" were mentioned, the faces of the three people in the room showed gloom.
There was even a light in Qiqi's eyes.
Obsidian sighed: "Qiqi, don't be sad, you can go down and take a rest first."
The Hong Madam watched her leave and murmured: "This little girl is loyal..."
Thinking of the figure in my memory that seemed like a mountain, my heart couldn't help but feel ache. I couldn't imagine that a man who could leave just by leaving.
"General..."
The Hongniangzi was strong-hearted. Obsidian's call made her take off from her memory, her face calmed down, and her rational thoughts said: "Obsidian, what is the current situation? Your Majesty... She didn't say much in the secret letter she gave me, she just let me act according to the opportunity!"
When talking about the serious matter, Obsida's expression calmed down and said in a voice: "Since half a month ago, Juma Province has been sending troops to Wigolan County, and even surrounded three iron ore veins for a time. Although I am the lord of Wigolan County, Juma Province has always taken over the defense. Now their number of people has been increasing, and they are gradually replacing people I trust. It seems that they want to undermine me."
Wigolan County is affiliated to the Juma Province. Although the lords have private guards, they are rare. At that time, Yang Zheng had only one thousand guards, which was too few compared to one county. Therefore, the entire county defense has always been under the supervision of the Juma Province. The official consideration is naturally to prevent the lords from all over the country from holding troops and respecting themselves.
But to the present, the situation is no longer as simple as it seems.
The Hongmao snorted coldly: "There was flood here and the thieves were rampant. I didn't see a soldier and a soldier from Juma Province. Now the flood has been cured and the iron ore is operating normally. These shit nobles are like flies that smell stinky meat."
Obsidian was a little embarrassed. The map of Hongniang was too wide. She was a nobleman now. Hey, she hadn't seen her for a few years, and her temperament had not changed at all.
But as she said, interests are the fundamental factors driving those nobles.
Today, Wigolan County is like a machine that spits out gold coins every day. The normal operation of the three large iron ores, plus the weapons trade, the oil and water inside is too much.
If Yang Zheng had not left that year and he would take over Juma Province, nothing would have happened.
Because Yang Zheng is strong enough, but with Yang Zheng's death, the kingdom changes greatly. Old Sean, who originally controlled the Giant Horse Province, was ousted by the Southwest Army forces represented by Queen Rachel and Retlin. At this time, the country restored the imperial system and Rachel had already reached the peak of power. The Southwest Army represented by Retlin seemed to be the greatest hero.
Differences arise here.
