Chapter 16
Chapter 15 A Journey of Wind Whispers
On December 12, after explaining the matter in hand, Liu Yun took Iverson and Walker and set off for Fengyu City to recruit new players.

Fengyu City, the capital of Fengyu Province, still has some impressions in Liuyun's memory.

This city is bordered by the Elven Forest in the north, the Beastman Kingdom in the west, and the imperial capital in the south. It is one of the commercial centers of the empire and one of the most famous cities in the mainland.When Liuyun entered Fengyu City, he once again deeply felt the prosperity and excitement of this city.On the street, adventurers of all kinds can be seen everywhere, caravans protected by mercenaries pass by from time to time, orcs and dwarves can also be seen everywhere.There are many shops in the city, and restaurants and inns are overcrowded.

However, what is surprising is that there are not many beggars and vagrants on the streets of this city.Could it be that the people in this city are really so rich?
"It's getting late, I think, we'd better stay here first, and then we'll find out more slowly." Iverson said to Liu Yun when he saw this scene.

"It has to be like this." Liu Yun said.

The three of them randomly found an inn to stay, and Liu Yun asked Iverson to go out to inquire about news.

Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, Iverson came back.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Liu Yun asked in bewilderment.

"Hehe, before going out, I asked the owner of the inn, unexpectedly he knew where these beggars and homeless people went." Iverson replied with a smile, seeming quite surprised by this.

"They all work in Miss Hua Feilei's workshop. People in Fengyu City regard Hua Feilei as the embodiment of kindness." Iverson quickly replied.

"This girl actually employs child labor!"

Liu Yun thought bitterly, but on second thought, it was wrong, "Yes, in this era, it is already a great act of kindness to give these beggars and vagrants a bite to eat."

"She recruited everyone away, where should I go to recruit people?" Liu Yun said to himself.The nearest big city to the ranch is Wind Whisper City. Could it be possible to go to other cities from this city?

"Young Master Yun, why don't you go to Miss Hua Feilei to discuss and get some people from her?" Walker reacted quickly, and immediately suggested after hearing the words.

"It seems that I'm going to meet that Miss Hua Feilei. Let her know about the situation of the vineyard," Liu Yun said.

After asking the innkeeper for Hua Feilei's address, the three of them went out.Along the way, Liuyun was thinking about how to speak to Hua Feilei.The matter of the wine already made him feel a little sorry for the young lady and owed him a favor.Now, it was really difficult for Liu Yun to find someone to help.

"Please inform that Viscount Liuyun Cade is here to pay a visit to Miss Hua Feilei." When he came to a large mansion, Walker stepped forward and said to the servant at the door.

"Please wait a moment, I will report to the Viscount." After looking at Liu Yun and the three of them, the servant responded respectfully, turned and walked into the courtyard.

"Wealth is incomparable, but the living is so simple. Hehe, when will Miss Hua Feilei's words of spending thousands of dollars come true? It seems that the men of the empire should be desperate." Walker looked at the house in front of him, smiling Said.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Liu Yun was curious when he heard the words.

"Miss Huafeilei is young, beautiful, and rich in the world, so she has always had many suitors. She is not too annoying, and once said this sentence when she refused suitors: If you want to fold flowers, wait until the money is gone, and the beauty will fade away." Afterwards, no suitors came to the door." Iverson explained aloud.

"This is a unique girl with personality." Liu Yun laughed after hearing this.

"It seems that she also regards herself as a frivolous person who is greedy for her money. The idea of ​​marrying a good wife and saving 30 years of struggle is the same in any era." Liu Yun thought, thinking of the ranch again That night, Hua Feilei looked angry.

When the servant who notified appeared at the door, Hua Feilei's figure also appeared.

"Your Majesty Viscount is here, and Feilei is far away to welcome you, please forgive me." Hua Feilei bent down and saluted Liuyun.

"Miss is serious, please forgive me for disturbing you." Liu Yun returned the salute, and sighed in his heart: "Nobles in this world, talking like this all day, are you tired?"

"Master Viscount, please come in, everyone please." Hua Feilei turned sideways to make way for the three of Liuyun.

Walking to the living room and sitting down, Liuyun briefly introduced the construction of the vineyard to Hua Feilei.

Hua Feilei listened carefully, but occasionally her eyes would fall on Liu Yun.

For Liu Yun's arrival, she was surprised and a little excited.In her eyes, this unique aristocrat is notorious, but can take it calmly. He has the demeanor and temperament of an aristocrat, but he does not have the demeanor and thinking of an aristocrat. In many cases, he never even considers himself a nobleman.Moreover, after passing through the ranch that night, she had a new understanding of Liu Yun: he was a lonelier and smarter person than her.

After patiently listening to Liu Yun's words, Hua Feilei asked softly, "Your Excellency, you are here just for this purpose?"

"This..." Liu Yun stammered for a moment, he felt that sometimes, it is definitely not a good thing for a woman to be too smart, such as now.

"The living room might be too stuffy, why don't we go for a walk and chat while admiring the night view of Wind Whisper City?"

It has to be said that Hua Feilei is a wonderful and lovely person. Seeing Liu Yun's appearance, she immediately spoke out to relieve him.

"That's a good idea." Liu Yun said immediately.

After going out, Iverson and Walker wisely followed from a distance, and asked Lei Luo for advice on martial arts.Of course, they would not let go of the opportunity to get advice from a senior swordsman.

Liuyun and Hua Feilei walked slowly on the street together.

Walking in the night breeze, bathed in the fragrance of beauty beside him, looking at the flickering street, Liu Yun almost suspected that he was in a dream.Looking back suddenly, staring at her affectionately, she is in a dimly lit place, but she is not "her" anymore.This feeling that he once had but has been lost forever made him feel dazed, and a strong impulse made him want to shout: "Yue'er, I really miss you!"

Hua Feilei felt Liu Yun's momentary absence, and also felt that affectionate gaze.

But she knew that it wasn't about her, but that he thought of someone.So, being smart, she chose to be silent, and just walked with him silently.

"Come on, come on, come on, everyone, watch carefully!" With a shout, Liu Yun suddenly woke up, and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

"These new products, which just arrived today, are beautiful girls from the elves, imported in original packaging, never opened!"

On the stage in the distance, a big man stood on the stage, pointed at the girl beside him and said loudly, which caused a burst of whistles and laughter from the audience.Beside the girl, there were two orcs.

The girl's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and she was powerless to resist. She could only cry in a low voice, and her helpless eyes swept across the crowd in vain.

The slaves in this world, except for the prisoners of war in the war, are mostly aliens.The beauties of the elves are the favorite of the nobles, so many mercenaries and adventurers entered the elf forest to plunder the lonely elves.

Although he already knew this, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, Liu Yun still couldn't let go of his heart.

"I'll offer three hundred gold coins!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Four hundred gold coins!"

"Six hundred gold coins!"

……

"Eighteen hundred gold coins!"

The price of the beautiful elf girl was quickly raised to [-] gold coins.Many of the people below were servants of the nobles. The nobles would not bother to come forward for such a thing, but they would send someone to come.

Heartbroken eyes fell on the elf girl, Liu Yun said softly: "They should have the right to live freely in the sun!"

Looking at Liu Yun strangely, Hua Feilei turned around and waved to Lei Luo, and when Lei Luo approached, she whispered in his ear: "Uncle, no matter what the price is, buy that girl."

Liu Yun was no longer in the mood to read any more, and walked away.

"Miss, I'm here to see you today. I really have something to do." Liu Yun thought about it, and felt that he should speak directly. Anyway, the favor is already owed, and he doesn't care about one more.

"Tell me." Hua Feilei replied softly.

"I heard that all the vagrants in Wind Whisper City work in your workshop?"

"Well. I think these children are pitiful. It happened that the workshop was short of manpower, so I took them in. Don't you care about these children?" Hua Feilei asked puzzled.

"Hehe, because I wanted to recruit a group of 15-year-old vagrants into my guard, but I couldn't find any of them when I came to Wind Whisper City. After I inquired, I found out that Miss took them in." Liu Yun smiled.

"You want these children to join the army?" Hua Feilei was obviously surprised.

"They are so small, what can they do? In the event of a war, can they survive?"

"Of course I have my own considerations, miss. Please don't worry. This time I came to see you, one is to inform the progress of the vineyard, and the other thing is to discuss with the miss, let me recruit a group of team members from these orphans .”

After listening to Liu Yun's words, Hua Feilei became a little angry. "Damn aristocrats, they don't even spare children."

"With all due respect, I hate war because it hurts ordinary people too much. If I came from a prominent family, maybe I wouldn't know this, but I have been in business since I was a child, and I have traveled all over the world. Everywhere in the mainland, wherever they go, the people are all suffering from the war. The homeless children in the world, a few are not displaced because they lost their loved ones in the war. Therefore, I do not agree with your request." After finishing speaking, Hua Feilei looked straight at Flowing clouds.

"Miss, your act of taking in these orphans made me very admired and moved. But, can you save the vagrants in Wind Whisper City, can you save all the vagrants in Fire Cloud Empire? Can you save them?" An orphan from the Blue Moon Continent?" Liu Feng sighed softly.

"I can't save them, but I can save these children in Wind Whisper City. I let them learn crafts and live a life of food and clothing when they grow up. My ability can only do this. Is there something wrong? And you, But let these children be used as tools of war for you!" Hua Feilei said excitedly.

"Why is there a war? Because our country is too weak. When these children grow up, when the war comes again, they may have to go to the battlefield and leave another group of street children. Is this fate fair to them? ? I don’t want these vagrants to be cannon fodder for me, and I don’t have too much ambition. I know that most of these vagrants are descendants of soldiers, and I care about their lives more than anyone else!”

Liu Yun didn't want to provoke this kind girl, and tried to restrain his emotions, "What I want to do is to teach them how to come back alive from the war, and train them to become the new generation of the empire. Miss Hua Feilei, please believe me , I will lead them on a new path. If one day, you find that I have failed, I will allow you to bring back these children."

Liu Yun's words made Hua Feilei fall into deep thought. "Can I trust you and hand these children into your hands? What kind of future can you bring them? What are you thinking in your heart?"

Looking at Liuyun quietly, she said softly after a long time:

"As you wish. Why, would I choose to believe you again?"

Looking at the poor and lovely girl who was like a lost lamb, Liu Yun couldn't help laughing.

"When the time is right, I will invite you to inspect the situation of these children. Don't look at me like that. I'm not the person on the stage just now. I won't sell them."

Hearing what he said was interesting, Hua Feilei smiled.The style of that smile is like the spring breeze blowing through the green water, bright and moving.

"Hey, even if I want to sell it, I have to sell someone like you!" Seeing the flowery smile in front of him, Liu Yun couldn't help joking.

Hua Feilei's face flushed like a lantern in the distance.

"Tomorrow, I will take you to see the child. It is already late at night, if there is nothing else, Hua Feilei will leave." Hua Feilei bowed her head and whispered.

"Miss, please go ahead, see you tomorrow." After the waif's matter was settled, Liu Yun was in a good mood, but just now Meng Lang said something he shouldn't have said, which made him a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly responded.

On the second day, under the leadership of Lei Luo, the three went to various workshops to select team members.Hua Feilei did not appear again.

For this selection, the three of Liu Yun are very serious.In Liuyun's words, the body needs to be strong so that it can withstand tossing, the eyes need to be lively so that it can escape for life, and the mind needs to be bright so that it is easy to learn things.He didn't want to deal with sick people, fools and rough people.

After some careful selection, 170 players were finally selected, and all of them were boys. "War is ultimately a man's business. It's a shame to let a delicate woman go to the battlefield." Liu Yun said to Iverson and Walker.

Out of affection for soldiers, all of these 170 people are descendants of soldiers.He could only say sorry to the waifs who were not descendants of soldiers.For the other ten people, he planned to go to Kaidebao Town to select them himself.

Before leaving, Liuyun did not say goodbye to Hua Feilei, but left a letter, which Torello handed over.After hiring twenty carriages and buying some things needed by the college in the city, Liu Yun took the children on the way back to the ranch.

Hua Feilei read the letter left by Liu Yun before leaving, and handed the letter to Lei Luo, and then remained silent for a long time, staring into the distance with ecstasy.

"Uncle, please tell me, what kind of person is the second young master of the Kaide family?"

"Respectfully, Ms. Hua Feilei: Those who do good things should focus on the long-term. Sympathy and compassion can save a lifetime, but they can't save a lifetime. If you have the ability, you might as well use some of it to specialize in kind deeds, such as building a The college can breed countless young people, benefiting them for life. Throughout their lives, they will always remember the kindness of the young lady. Decades later, the reputation of the Roman family will resound throughout the entire empire."

Lei Luo read the letter in his hand, but was also speechless.Over the years, Hua Feilei has been working hard for the revival of the family, but the great achievements in business have not won the respect it deserves for the Roman family. Nobles also love money like their lives.However, Liuyun's letter left a clear path for her.

"Fei'er, maybe I misread it at the beginning. After reading this letter, I have to say that he has amazing wisdom and thoughts beyond ordinary people." Lei Luo finally said.

"Every time I see him, there will be unexpected gains. I just don't know, what will he bring me next time?" Hua Feilei said with a wry smile.

Lei Luo also laughed.Proud girl of heaven, you have finally met a man who can rival you.
