Chapter 851 The political sense of being briefly online
On the way back to the Black Earth Territory, Lu Xingshi, who was resting, clearly felt a sense of voyeurism.
I didn't notice it before. It was very simple. His movement speed was not slow at all. Even if the weight of his body affected his speed, it was not comparable to ordinary people.
So at the beginning, it wasn't that there were no people following him, it was just that he couldn't keep up with Lu Xingshi.
During Lu Xingshi's rest, the other party barely caught up.
Don't ask why he was reluctant, Lu Xingshi could see that the opponent's horse was showing symptoms due to running for too long.
Horses are not cars that drink oil and electricity, but are living creatures.
If you continue running without getting good replenishment and rest, you will really be exhausted.
When the other party saw Lu Xingshi, he was also stunned. He didn't expect that he actually caught up with him.
Lu Xingshi pretended not to see it. The other party following him must be eyeing his three sets of growth equipment, but the other party most likely didn't know the value.
As for relying on yourself? Not likely.
"Sir, you are wearing heavy armor, do you want to sell it?" The other party turned over and dismounted, with a wary tone in his tone.
"If you don't sell it, get out." Lu Xingshi said unceremoniously.
He really guessed it. His heavy armor, even if it is not made of various precious metals, would cost at least ten thousand gold to make it with the craftsmanship of this period.
The other party came over in a menacing manner, so it was definitely not a legal transaction.
"My lord is interested in your heavy armor. Sell it to my lord for ten gold coins!" He said, and several people gathered around.
"A feudal noble in the royal capital?" Lu Xingshi asked disdainfully: "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't need to know who you are." The other party retorted: "Then do you know who my master is?"
"You're leaving this nesting doll with me." Lu Xingshi cursed: "I am Earl Langton, the lord of the Black Earth Territory."
"Who do you think you are?" Lu Xingshi said, reaching out and taking off the Shield of the Earth King from his back. He struck the shield down and beat the opponent to a pulp on the spot.
"A mere feudal nobleman who doesn't even have a single soldier is qualified to talk to me?"
This scene scared these slaves quite a bit.
The lords and nobles are corrupt, and the enfeoffed nobles are a little unclear about their identities. Especially the nobles in the royal capital, who are so obsessed with life and money that they forget that they have no rights in their hands.
Without military power, where would the power come from?
"You...you...my master is..." A slave wanted to warn him, but before he could finish his words, Lu Xingshi attacked directly, and another one turned into a bloody mess.
The two people in a row went from being bone to bone and flesh to flesh to being connected to each other, and the remaining slaves were suddenly afraid.
The first thing I wanted to do was escape.
The result was obvious. Naturally, all living beings were equal and were beaten to pieces by Lu Xingshi.
"What is it?" Lu Xingshi said disdainfully: "Just in time, bring it to my door and let me test the king's situation."
This matter is definitely not over, but Lu Xingshi is not that free to go back just for this trivial matter, so he plans to write a letter to the king to kill him after returning to the Black Earth Territory.
If the king is really killed, Lu Xingshi will go into hibernation temporarily.
If it was a small punishment but a big warning, Lu Xingshi would use this incident to start a fight, not only to kill him, but also to make the king pay a large sum of compensation.
At that time, let the king see what internal and external troubles are.
During these days in the royal capital, he also gained a corresponding understanding of the kingdom and the countries outside the kingdom.
The kingdom he was in was indeed much different, and the fights between various nobles were as ridiculous as bastards in a small pond.
With such a small piece of land, he could still fight so hard.
It can only be said that the current kingdom not only loses any enterprising mentality, but even the original conservative mentality has gradually disappeared.
And the successor, if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be an accident next.
Other countries must be watching with eager eyes, waiting for the death of the king to start a gluttonous feast.
There are not many nobles who can fight, and the high-ranking princes have their own ideas.
The outcome is self-evident.
Only then did Lu Xingshi react.
"Damn it, is he trying to win over me???" Lu Xingshi suddenly thought of something, the other party really gave him a lot.
"Just in time to confirm."
It's still the original plan. If the other party kills or even further expresses his attitude, then there is definitely a tendency to win over him.
"But I do seem to be worthy of wooing and investing."
"He became the kingdom's grand knight at a young age, and he was also an earl."
"What's more important is that the lord with real power has also obtained the right to develop...Gan, the right to develop is also his plan."
"If I open up the mountains in the north, I can make the territory larger and have stronger power. As long as I succeed in winning over, I will be a great knight and noble who supports the royal family."
"The next step is to arrange the noble title of the Langton family to the Grand Duke. There is no problem."
"If it really comes to this, we won't just win over each other, but we will arrange to entrust important ministers." Lu Xingshi immediately sensed what the other party was thinking.
"This group of people came at the right time, otherwise I would never have imagined this." Under normal conditions, Lu Xingshi's mind showed a superposition of becoming stronger through scientific research and becoming full of muscles. When there are no enemies, it is the former, and when there are enemies, it is the former. It's the latter.
Rarely do I think about these issues.
Now that I think about it, it seems that is indeed the case.
"It's your luck..." Lu Xingshi looked at the corpses on the ground, and now he was sure that his luck had indeed improved.
It's just not much, it was 1 at the beginning, and now it's about 1.5, but this is half more luck than ordinary people.
"He is not an enemy for the time being and can be classified as a friendly camp. If he keeps this attitude of coaxing, it is not impossible to temporarily become a general and hold the emperor hostage to control the princes."
Before his true form arrives, he can temporarily use his successor as a puppet.
But it was impossible to return to power. He still recognized the words "high achievements shake the master" and "kill the donkey to kill the donkey".
Although this princess of the kingdom is weak and weak now, who knows whether she will be completely transformed after taking power again.
Don't underestimate anyone's potential.
With Li Fan's lecherous appearance, who would have thought that his personality would be completely different. He would even dare to lift his sword to chop the destiny thread, and he could even backhand the world directly and send the Infinity Sword to Lu Xingshi.
And maybe the other party is just pretending to be like this, and is actually a dormant baby dragon, just waiting to become powerful.
After Lu Xingshi had rested, he got up and continued to set off. It was more important to return to the Black Earth Territory.
The key is to find something interesting on the road, go back and invest in training and research, and master more powerful power as soon as possible.
He actually had a strange feeling in his heart, that is, the northern mountains in the north of the Black Earth Territory were not that simple.
You know, the official name of that mountain range is called the Permafrost Mountains.
Perennial frost covers the entire mountain range, freezing the soil.
On top of that, it snows and winds all the time of the year, and blizzards are a minor event.
In addition, the Langton family's inheritance seems a bit special, and it seems to be guarding against something in the permanently frozen mountains.
Otherwise, how could a little viscount possess the Shield of the Earth King? The resources alone to create it would be an astronomical amount.
That's why Lu Xingshi guessed that the Langton family was rooted in the Black Territory and had a unique family mission. However, due to time and changes in the energy environment, it was unknown whether this mission was lost or invalidated.
But for Lu Xingshi, there wasn't much difference, and he even had the idea of going into the mountain to explore.
As for development, that's true. There are also many places suitable for living in the permafrost mountains.
It is estimated that due to the decline of the energy environment, the frost force that was originally more terrifying has gradually dissipated. Now most of it should be due to geographical factors, and the influence of extraordinary factors can be ignored.
Just wanting to develop it is not that easy, and a lot of manpower and material resources must be invested.
And we have to find a way to get our money back.
…
"Catherine, what do you think of this Earl of Langton?" The king looked at the princess.
She looked a little distracted and didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't hear the king's question.
"Catherine Voss, you are distracted again. Are you chatting with your animal friends again?" the king said helplessly.
Princess Catherine is his offspring with the previous queen, who was a white wizard, a witch who was good at condensing soul seeds with ice elements.
The cause of death was that the ice element particles affected her thinking. She was too cold and calm to distinguish the pros and cons, and wanted to escape from the king's control.
Compared to using his wife, he dotes on his daughter in every possible way. After all, he is just an heir.
"I'm sorry, Father, I..." Catherine was embarrassed.
"What do you think about letting this Earl of Langton be your knight teacher?" This time, the king asked directly.
"He...he is a great knight, he won't like me." The princess answered cautiously.
There are many problems with the princess's character. For example, she cannot communicate with animals at all when it comes to her animal friends. These are all imaginary.
"He doesn't need to like you, he just needs to be trustworthy." The king shook his head. He was raised so well that it was time for her to experience some hardships.
The princess has no idea what the king means, so why should she be trustworthy?
"You, you still don't understand after talking so much. I will ask someone to escort you to the Black Earth Territory and let Earl Langton be your knight teacher." The king decided directly.
Then his eyes turned serious and he said: "Then, don't read those ridiculous books your mother left for you. These books will only drag you down."
The absurd books he spoke of were naturally the meditation methods and alchemy left behind by the previous queen.
"Yes...yes, father!" The princess answered fearfully, and in her heart she planned to hide the book deeper when she went back, as long as it would not be found.
After all, it was a relic left by her mother to her, so she was naturally reluctant to give it up.
The king also knew this, so he did not use coercive measures. After all, he was his own heir, so he still softened his heart.
It doesn't matter if you leave a thought, since everyone is dead anyway, it won't have much impact.
As for becoming a wizard? This is a bit whimsical. The princess has no access to any resources and cannot succeed on her own.
"It's good that you know." The king sighed, knowing that the other party did not listen to what he said. He was weak, but he also had a tenacity. This was not a big or small advantage.
