Godsend Field

Chapter 173 Li Wei
The school grounds under the scorching sun were exceptionally quiet.

Five thousand personal guards stood neatly in the middle, sweat dripping from their foreheads and faces.Some of the personal guards were still practicing just now, and their entire clothes were soaked in sweat, so there was no time to change them at this time.With such a hasty gathering, everyone knew that something big might happen.

On the high platform directly in front, Jin Juwei stood in a row behind Nero, and Nero sat on the seat behind the table and looked down.Tianci stood beside, Chen Wu, and Gru stood behind Tianci on the left and right.

"My lord, the gap between the guards here and the guards we saw in the capital is not so big!" Chen Wu whispered in Tianci's ear.

Tianci smiled slightly, "Why do you see that?"

"From the standing position! We have seen those silver armored guards training, they stood up like a rock, and you can see that the guards here started to shake after a short time, not even our guards!"

"This is understandable! The silver armored guards in the capital are under the direct supervision of Mr. Gauss, and the personnel are all recruited from across the country. And the guards here are all recruited from the fief. The ground has been safe and stable for a long time, and even a sharp sword will rust in this environment!" Gru replied in a low voice.

After a while, Hailan strode up to the high platform, folded her fists and knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Kate's personal guards, the leader of the third regiment, Hailan; Kate led all the guards to meet the young patriarch and the young master!"

The voice reached the ears of every bodyguard, and the hearts of the bodyguards trembled. Is this young man the patriarch?

"Get up!" Nero raised his hand, and Hailan stood up and walked aside.

Nero stood up and walked to the front of the high platform with a serious expression, "I came here today and saw all the heroic guards of my Kate family. I should have been happy, but now I am not happy at all. Why? Because I also met ten Kate family guards in Sao Tome City. As the Kate family guards, instead of being proud of the Kate family, strictly abiding by the imperial laws and carrying forward the spirit of warriors, they used the name of Kate to fight against the Kate family. Yanhua city is helping the tyrants and oppressing civilians. Come on, bring them here!"

With the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps, ten personal guards were escorted to the front of the high platform by the mercenary group.

At this moment, the ten personal guards had already realized the seriousness of the situation, and knelt and crawled in front of Nero, "Young patriarch, please forgive me, young patriarch, please spare me!"

Looking at this pleading face, Nero felt sick.

"Gauss!" Nero yelled.

Gauss strode forward, "The subordinates are here!"

"How to deal with the guards who leave the fief without the order of the military department and leave the fief according to the imperial regulations?"

"According to the laws of the empire, the guards who leave the fief without permission will be killed on the spot!" Gauss was full of fighting spirit, and he paused every word, his voice was like a huge bell, which made all the guards' eardrums hurt, and the bottom of his heart couldn't help but tremble stand up.

"As a personal guard, how do you deal with bullying others and humiliating the weak?"

"As a personal guard, you should strictly abide by the rules of the personal guard, and the spirit of a warrior. If you bully others or humiliate the weak, you will be punished with a hundred punishments. If the circumstances are serious, you will be beheaded!"

Nero nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Hailan, "Captain Hailan, what do you think?"

At this time, Hailan was already sweating profusely, "Everything is at the disposal of the young patriarch!"

"Let me ask you, which squadron and squad are these ten people from?"

Hailan's heart sank. It seemed that the young patriarch wanted to hold himself accountable to the group leaders.There is an unwritten rule in the bodyguard regiment that the leader of the bodyguard is guilty of the same crime as the captain. It is better for me and the squadron leader, and the squad leader probably wants it. . . "Patriarch Hui Shao, these ten people... are from... the third regiment, the fourth squadron, and the fifth squadron!"

"Come out!" Gauss yelled.

Immediately, two people ran out, one of them was the fourth squadron leader I met just now, and the other was probably the squad leader.Although the leader of the fourth squadron looked ugly, he was still calm, while the captain of the fifth squadron was so frightened that he ran to the high platform and knelt down, "Young patriarch, please forgive me!"

"Your subordinate committed such a serious crime. As a small captain, you cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty. How can I get around you?"

The squad leader's body sank, he got down, looked up at the fourth squadron leader beggingly, the squadron leader's face was very dark, he didn't know how he would be punished, how could he protect others?

"It's a heinous crime to allow your subordinates to do evil, but you are also obeying others' orders. Now you are only being investigated for the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty. Come, someone, drag him down and give him fifty sentences!"

"Yes!" Immediately, two guards picked up the squad leader and dragged him to the side for execution.The team leader narrowly escaped from death, "Patriarch Xie Shao, please spare your life, Patriarch Xie Shao, please forgive me!"

"Squadron leader, they are all your subordinates!"

"Return to the patriarch, the subordinate has neglected his duties, please punish the patriarch!"

"Okay, I hope you can realize your guilt, come here, and pull me down for thirty punishments, so as to make an example to others!"

"Yes!"

Hailan walked forward tremblingly, "Young Patriarch, I..."

"As the head of the regiment, you can't restrain your subordinates. If something goes wrong and you can't find it in time, you should have been severely punished. But the current period is special, so I will record this punishment first!"

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

Only then did Nero slowly look at the ten guards, "Gauss!"

Gauss waved his hand, and the ten golden chrysanthemum guards behind him quickly ran down the stage, took ten personal guards from the mercenaries, and put them in front of him.

"噗!" The sharp sword came out of its sheath, shining coldly.

Nero gritted his teeth, "Cut!"

"Shua!". . .The blood was spilled on the school field.All the guards felt a chill.

Nero had already returned to the big tent, and Tianci was walking in the big camp accompanied by Chen Wu and Gru.

"My lord, I really didn't expect that your younger brother usually looks gentle and refined, but he is not soft-hearted when he kills people!" Chen Wu said with emotion.

Tianci smiled, in fact, I didn't expect what happened today.Thinking about the first time he killed someone, even though Pusda deserved to die, his heart was still in panic, so that he ran into the ruins to get a moment of peace.Compared with Nero today, he really is. . .

"And the way he handled it today, on the surface it looks like punishment. In fact, it's all at the level of the captain, especially at the captain level. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really can't believe that your brother is the only one!" Chen Chen Fog continued.

"Hehe, you don't have to doubt this. You may not know that little Ni Luo has been with grandpa since he was 12 years old, watching grandpa handle government affairs. He is much better than me when it comes to right and wrong in the officialdom Already!" Tianci said, "But Morning Mist, you also have to be careful, don't let this happen to our bodyguards!"

"Yes, my lord! I will write a letter to Lorna later, asking her to grasp the law and discipline of the bodyguard regiment. My lord, since you were promoted to Marquis, our bodyguard regiment can expand to ten thousand people, two regiments, now The Second Regiment has already begun preparations, but the position of the regiment leader..."

"Gru is ready!"

After Nero finished handling the matter, he continued to set off for Nasda City the next day.Hailan personally led the guards to protect them along the way.

Nasda City is a city relatively close to Dres City, with a population of nearly 80.The selected city lord Elder Weida is a direct branch of Duke Kate's great-great-grandfather.As an elder, Weida has lived in Dres City for a long time, leaving only his son, deputy city lord McKins, to stay in Nasda City to handle daily government affairs.

It took about an hour to arrive at Nasda City, and the deputy city lord McKinsey personally greeted him at the door.McKinsey looked in his 50s, with long dark golden hair and mustache with triangular eyes. When he saw Tianci and Nero get off the carriage, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"This is the young patriarch and the young master, right? Welcome back to the fief. I welcome you on behalf of the people of Nasda City. And these few are..."

Tianci smiled and introduced, "These two are my head of personal guards, Chen Wu, Gelu! This is my fiancée Li'er, and this is her cousin Qin'er!"

McKinsey smiled and said, "Welcome the two ladies!"

Entering Nasda City, the city defense troops have already cleared the road, holding weapons on both sides, and the surrounding civilians are watching curiously. Is this our young patriarch?

Soon came to the city lord's mansion, the whole city lord's mansion is tall and majestic, walking into the interior, the new layout of the building is very gorgeous, with carved railings, jade buildings and golden walls.The most striking thing is a big tree in the yard before entering the hall.Even ten people might not be able to hug the trunk of the tree. The height of the tree is more than 30 meters, and the entire top is lush and lush like a giant umbrella covering the entire courtyard.

"Deputy City Lord, your City Lord's Mansion is really well built, I'm afraid it is much more luxurious than their Duke's Mansion!" Qin'er looked around and said with a smile.

McKinsey immediately became embarrassed, "Miss Qin'er laughed, in fact, this is the result of the hard work of previous city lords. Our Kate fief is fertile and has a good harvest every year. It is not uncommon to have a little savings to repair the city lord's mansion. To be honest, our Nasda City Lord's Mansion is not the best!"

"Oh? None of you are the best, so wouldn't the best be comparable to the imperial palace?" Qin'er patted Tianci on the shoulder, "Stinky boy, I didn't expect your Kate family to be so rich. In the future, the more than 40 purple Don't ask me for gold coins again!"

Tianci smiled slightly, "No problem, but I won't return Yu'er's little golden bed to you either!"

Qin'er's expression changed, "Ah! I almost forgot if you didn't mention it, you pay for my jewelry!"

After arranging accommodation for everyone, McKinsey prepared a rich banquet to entertain Tianci, Nero and others.During the banquet, Makins toasted Tianci and Nero frequently, and the compliments were endless.

"Eldest young master, young patriarch, I heard that you met Odd on the way to Laid?" McKinsey asked pretending to be unintentional.

"That's right! We've met him!"

"Hey, speaking of it, although this Odd is ignorant, he is still the brother of my partial wife. I was also afraid that he would spoil the reputation of our Kate family by doing something wrong, so I secretly sent ten personal guards. Protect him, restrain his behavior by the way, I didn't expect it to turn out like this in the end, it's all my fault!"

Tianci and Nero laughed and said nothing, everyone had already been killed, so there was no point in talking about it.

"Makins, I would like to ask what is the situation of the elders in the fief and the situation of the guards?" Nero asked.

"Master Hui Shao, there are currently seven cities in our fief, of which Dreis City is the head and the other six are auxiliary. The elders are Weida of our Nasda City; Elder Kate, of Ayton City Hawking; Elder Kate, Finler, Dallas; Elder Kate, Grover, Kilghis; Elder Kate, Andrew, Carr; Elder Kate and Gordon, Tran Elder Kate. There are also two direct elders Osai; Elder Kate and Elder Deange; Elder Kate. Now all eight elders are in the elders' courtyard in Dres. Apart from the first group of personal guards taken away by the Duke, there are two, three, and four groups left in the fief. Our fief is surrounded by the Siluo River on the northwest side, so most of the personal guards are stationed on the southeast side, because the north side There are many merchants, so the third regiment was ordered to transfer to the north and stationed near our city of Nasda."

Tianci and Nero nodded, and finally had a partial understanding of the situation in the fief.

The banquet ended early, and McKinsey personally sent God-given Nero and others back to their room to have a good rest, and they will leave for Dres City early tomorrow morning.

Tianci did not rest immediately, but came to the yard and sat quietly.Trivial footsteps sounded, a gust of fragrant wind came, and a pair of gentle little hands suddenly covered Tianci's eyes from his face.

Tianci shook his head. It might be difficult for someone else, but it would be in vain for someone with spiritual knowledge like himself.

"Stop playing, cousin! And Lier, don't hide either!"

Not far away, Li'er chuckled, walked out from behind the tree with Yu'er in her arms, and came to Qin'er's side.

"Hmph!" Qin'er pouted her mouth and retracted her hands, "Stinky boy, how did you figure it out!"

Godsend was helpless, "Is there any need to guess? Lier often played this game with me when I was young, but she would always ask me who I am! But if she didn't make a sound just now, it couldn't be Lier!"

Qin'er glared at Li'er, "Li'er, why were you so stupid when you were young, didn't he guess it when you made a sound?"

Lil immediately blushed.

"And brat, why don't you guess it's Si Ni, or Chen Wu? Guess me!"

Tianci thought for a while, "Because...they are not as boring as you!"

Qin'er's face changed, "Look for a fight!"

Li'er quickly put down Yu'er, and grabbed Qin'er who was about to get angry.Yu'er swiftly jumped to Tianci's shoulder.These days Tianci either went to prison or attended big occasions, and he was carried around by Lier, if it wasn't for his delicious food, Tianci would never be spared.

"Li'er, I want to see someone now, you guys go back first!" Tianci said.

"who?"

"It's the old man who is about to be released from Sao Tome Prison. I've been busy these days and haven't bothered to visit him. Now that I'm free, I want to see him!" Tianci said.

"Then shall we go with you?" Lier asked.

Tianci thought about it, "It's okay, but you have to be prepared!"

The three walked to the place where the carriage was parked in the backyard.Along the way, the old man rested in the last carriage loaded with goods. Two personal guards took care of his safety and entered the city lord's mansion. There was no accommodation for the old man, so he stayed in the carriage all the time.

Seeing Tianci, the guards in charge immediately stepped forward to salute.

Tianci lifted the curtain and walked into the carriage.Seeing Tianci, the old man immediately shivered and shrank into a ball, looking at Tianci with horror in his eyes.Although the prison uniform has been changed and new clothes have been put on, it is still difficult to hide the old man's vicissitudes and poverty.The silver hair on his head is messy, his eyes swirl deeply into the eye sockets, the skin of his cheeks is close to the bones, and the exposed hands and feet are skinny and skinny.

Looking at this old man who has been in prison for decades, Tianci couldn't help but sigh.Both Li'er and Qin'er couldn't help feeling sad.

"How's his condition?" Tianci asked a personal guard.

"Back to Eldest Young Master, although this person is weak, he is fine, and he can recover after a period of training. However, some soft injuries on his body may not be able to recover!"

"A soft injury?" Tianci asked in surprise.

"Yes, according to my subordinates' investigations, this old man should have been severely tortured by the criminal law, and many bones in his body were deformed. Especially his hands were the most severely damaged, and the tendons in his hands have been damaged. I'm afraid it will be difficult to move freely!"

After hearing this, the three of Tianci were stunned. They didn't expect this old man to be punished so severely.

"How is his spirit?"

"Although he is still a little shy, he is much better than a few days ago. It may be because he hasn't seen a stranger for a long time, so he is a little scared now. I don't think he will be able to recover in a long time!"

Tianci nodded reassuringly, "You must take good care of this person, understand?"

"Yes, young master!"

On the way back, Lier walked quickly to Tianci's side and grabbed Tianci's sleeve, "Brother Tianci, why did you save that old man? Is there anything special about him?"

Tianci was taken aback, and looked at Qin'er at the side.Qin'er was also looking at Tianci, the two looked at each other, Qin'er immediately turned her head, "Huh!"

"It's very simple, because I think he might have been a blacksmith before!" Tianci said.

"Blacksmith? How do you know?" Lier asked suspiciously.

"It can be seen from the calluses on his hands. You may not know that the calluses on the blacksmith's hands are different from those of others." Tianci stretched out his palm and gestured, while Qin'er quickened his pace and glanced secretly.

"A blacksmith usually uses a hammer in one hand and a brazing in the other. For the right hand, the calluses grow on the web under the fingers because of holding the hammer for a long time. For the left hand, the callousing is growing because of holding the brazing for a long time. On the middle joints of the fingers and in the middle of the palm."

"Hmph, you also said that you are a blacksmith, why don't you have calluses on your hands?" Qin'er said suddenly.

Tianci looked at his smooth palm and smiled slightly, "I take good care of it!"

Li'er burst out laughing when she heard it. Godsend's resilience is so strong, it's not surprising that she doesn't grow calluses.

"Brother Tianci, I have another question. This old man has been in prison for decades. Even if he grows calluses, he will probably disappear! Then how did you find out?"

"If it is an ordinary profession, it may make the calluses disappear, but blacksmiths will not. Because we have been working with the hot iron in the stove for a long time, we tend to hold the relatively high temperature iron brazing or hammer, so these calluses can't grow out naturally. , will also be burned out, so that no matter how long it takes, the calluses will not disappear! If you don't believe me, you can go back and see my Master Mike, or Master Finchland!"

"En!" Li'er and Qin'er nodded, so it was so!
