Chapter 114 The Abducted Slave

In the next few days, Liqi's days returned to the rhythm they had before heading to Green Linburg.

In the stable, the groom told Li Qi that the mother-maned horse was in very good health, and she ate a lot and took good care of it, making it fat and strong.

When Liqi asked about the date of birth, the groom gave him an approximate time.

autumn.

The pregnancy period of a horse is about 300 days. The griffin's blood may have some impact, but it will definitely be born this fall.

Li Qi emphasized to the groom that he would receive a generous reward for giving birth successfully, and if he failed... he would not want to fail.

The next itinerary was to inspect three villages, inspect the water mill, and especially the commercial area under construction.

A brick kiln is being built.

Clay can be dug by the river, and the masons lead slaves to make red brick embryos from clay. They will try to burn it many times, because Li Qi only has a rough concept of burning bricks. As a lord, he really only needs to propose concepts, and his subordinates can improve it with their own skills and smart materials.

Beekeeping village.

Some seeds suitable for summer sowing have been planted.

Like flower trees and fruit trees, they are also planted around the beekeeping village.

Li Qi sat under the tree to cool off and drank cold honey beer.

Akek stood beside him, she was a human-shaped mosquito repellent lamp, and no insects could get close to him.

In fact, Li Qi also underestimated people in this world. Although people do not have mosquito coils and mosquito nets, there is a summer grass similar to mugwort. It has large leaves and burns after drying and will produce a pungent smell that can drive away mosquitoes.

But like mugwort, the smell is too big, and ordinary people can't adapt to such a pungent smell.

The personal servant Pitchfork added iced honey beer to Liqi and looked at Akke with a show-off. He would never allow a maid to be too close to the Lord, so that the male servant could enjoy the glory of serving the baron in person!

Li Qi didn't care about his subordinate's little movements, because he was calculating another thing in his mind: "Calculate the time, it should be here, right?"

The group of slaves who set out with him from Greenlienburg should have arrived.

"grown ups!"

The soldiers trotted and said, "Sir, the slave team sent by Green Linfort has arrived."

"Finally come!" Li Qi stood up suddenly.

That's a population of 500!

Almost doubled the population of the porcupine leader. With enough manpower, he would not have to stop some work and remove manpower because of insufficient manpower.

However, when Li Qi felt his expression on a horse, his expression became extremely poor.

"Who is the person responsible for the escort!"

The two young entourages following Li Qi heard the anger of their lord and immediately drew their swords.

Why was Li Qi angry? Because the 500 slaves that my grandfather promised him were missing by about a hundred!

Not only that, the slaves were mentally dull and injured, and some of them looked extremely poor, with only one breath left, but were urged to rush to the road.

This is completely different from his previous request. Everyone is the wealth of a porcupine.

One of the people who took the lead in escorting the slaves fell to the ground: "Sir, please listen to me!"

"You'd better give a reasonable explanation for the damage to a lord's interests." Liqi looked down at him.

There is no need to say it completely, but it will be sufficiently deterrent when it falls into people's ears.

"Yes! When we were passing by the Shuijian, we encountered an army."

"army?"

"It's a militia, no, they're just a group of farmers!" The man defended loudly: "They held hoes, axes, and some carried pitchforks and iron rakes. They said they wanted the slaves to become soldiers. We resisted and killed some, but some of them died."

Li Qi sighed. If it was the messy place in Shuijian, it would be normal for this to happen.

"And what? They snatched the slaves?"

"No, they can't take away the slaves," the man continued, "You are the master of the slaves, but... the man who claimed to be Baron Vodu said he would pardon the slaves who followed him, and would use land for them for free, and they snatched dozens of slaves."

"It's an illegitimate child again."

Li Qi didn't want to deal with his illegitimate child, but he didn't expect that these guys would be so arrogant that they would dare to steal a baron's slave.

But it's right to think about it. If these people were not arrogant, they wouldn't have called themselves Baron Wodu's illegitimate son.

"Ak"

"Sir" Ake has been living a good life recently. He has changed into a new crutch and followed several strong slaves as bodyguards.

Without children to take care of him, his complexion is getting better and better.

His two sons are the backbone of the beekeeping village, and his daughter has received more attention from the lord. Who can compare to him in the entire Porcupine Corps? Even if he is just a slave, so what?

"Arranging these slaves to rest and count the number of people." Li Qi looked at the confused slaves and said, "Let the pharmacist treat them, prepare soup and rice for them, let them have a good rest, and ensure that everyone survives as much as possible. After registering the information, tell them the rules of living here."

Ak said, "Yes! Praise your kindness."

"Come with me," Li Qi said to the escort managers of the slaves kneeling on the ground.

This is the first time that the porcupine collar has had a conflict with the outside world.

All the managers of the Porcupine Collar were present.

It's all, but in fact only Glen, Joe and Kuaibian.

Li Qi asked, "What do you think you should do?"

The Porcupine Collar was stolen dozens of slaves. If nothing happened, others would laugh at the Porcupine Collar, mocking Liard's son for being a soft boy.

However, if a soldier is sent for dozens of slaves, as long as one soldier is injured or killed, it will be a loss.

Kuaibian clenched his fist: "You should kill me directly! Sir, I will personally take off the head of that shitty illegitimate Wodu son for you!"

Robbing a baron, only war can wash away this humiliation.

But Qiao said, "Sir, I don't think we should fight."

"What did you say?" Kuai Ren was anxious.

Li Qi stopped Kuaibian and said to Qiao: "Tell me what you think."

"yes!"

Qiao nodded and sorted out his thoughts and said, "From some of the information I learned from going out for business, the situation in Shuijiandi is very complicated. There have been many illegitimate children there recently. Even if we kill one, another will pop up, and this will also bring us into the turbulent vortex."

The current porcupine collar needs to develop quietly and try to avoid war.

If the Porcupine Collar attacks the illegitimate child, the outside world will not be able to manage it, and they will only think that he will step in.

It is very common for nobles to find excuses to start a war.

"What do you think should be done?" Li Qi asked.

"this……"

Qiao is just the son of a businessman and is not proficient in military and diplomatic affairs.

Glen, likewise, was suitable to be the steward of territory development, but was not good at fighting and diplomacy.

Li Qi said: "You can't swallow this breath yourself. The porcupine is covered with thorns."

He swallowed it, and the flag of the porcupine collar will be more and more hindered from outside in the future. The porcupine family motto set by his father Liard is "a full of thorns", and he cannot throw it away.

The nobleman is more face than anything else, but he has not figured out how to do it yet. The best way is to directly send the zombie Aina to take action and kill Wodu Shiba, but this will also reveal Li Qi's trump card.

The reason is that he doesn't know Wodu Shiba. If he can know more detailed information, he can create more detailed countermeasures.

Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can you win every battle. Otherwise, a group of people will only use their own imagination to fight.

"grown ups"

The entourage Luo Bu came in, lowered his head and said, "There is a female messenger who said she was from the Longboat Castle and hopes to meet you."

"Longboat... This is coming with the slave team."

Li Qi said, "Please come in."

Thank you for the reward of [Xuanyuan Zhiyuan] 300+300.
