Chapter 330 Night Market (Page 13)
After listening to the legends about Night God or Moon God, Li Qi did not get any substantive information.
The creation stories of these gods all have very similar templates.
Although he didn't believe it, Li Qi was very sensitive to the word "legend". The less he understood it, the more afraid he would be.
On the contrary, the priest was very indifferent: "If believers of the Moon God are so powerful, why do they hide?"
Li Qi suddenly became enlightened.
After all, they are still a group of bugs hiding in the dark.
"The Four Gods will bless and protect you, Lord Li Qi."
"I will respond to the four gods with loyalty," Li Qi replied.
Unfortunately, when he asked the Water Fairy, the other party couldn't explain clearly. He just said that he felt a presence in Wells Bill that far surpassed hers. He should be a "legend".
Li Qi could only let go of these, as there were still many things waiting for him to deal with.
Another day or two passed...
After confirming with Mrs. Jie Lin that he would come to Longship Castle on Little Leard's birthday, Li Qi left with the team.
Taylor Ross is the happiest person about this.
He was most afraid that Li Qi and his soldiers would be stationed in Longship Castle and would not leave.
With the terrifying military combat strength of Li Qi's team, which could defeat 300 to 2000 troops, he was really afraid that after Li Qi's tough choice to station here, who else would be able to drive them away.
The drawbridge of Longship Castle was slowly lowered.
Li Qi left with the army.
Outside the castle, Taylor Ross said to Li Qi: "I want to return to Roaring Castle immediately. Lord Li Qi, may the four gods bless you!"
"May the Four Gods bless you," Li Qi replied.
It wasn't that Tyler Ross was in a hurry, but that he had to go back quickly with the news about the Monkey Leader. He was most afraid of Li Qi directly leading troops to attack the Monkey Leader.
After all the insinuations in the past few days, Li Qi did not show any similar intentions, which made Taylor Ross relieved.
Li Qi was naturally not interested in attacking Shanzhang Fort.
The rugged mountain roads and dense trees in the Monkey Territory were not suitable for musket firing, which was equivalent to destroying Li Qi's strongest brand.
Moreover, it is impossible for the Monkey Leader to accept the management of an outsider.
To occupy territory aggressively, you must show absolute oppression, just like the Monkey Family brought 2000 elite soldiers to the Longship Castle and beat the Longship Castle to lose its temper.
Li Qi can't allocate so much energy for the time being, so there is no need to waste resources to capture a territory that is destined to be impossible for him.
Nibble slowly for better taste.
Mrs. Jie Lin stood on the city wall, looking at Li Qi's retreating figure.
She just watched Li Qi go further and further until he completely disappeared from sight.
Because of the monkey leader's invasion, Shuijian Land once again returned to the state it was in a year ago when they had an illegitimate child.
However, the mental state of the people in Shuijian was very different from that time.
First of all, the birth of little Lear united people's hearts.
Secondly, this victory in defeating the monkey soldiers boosted morale.
If you want to develop again, the speed will be faster.
Li Qi has successfully snatched back all the docks in Shuijiandi.
However, father and son also had to settle accounts, and Li Qi spent more time at Longship Castle mainly discussing these matters.
Moreover, he does not have as big an appetite as the Monkey Family. He does not need to control the docks and waterways. He only hopes to reduce the taxes on the caravans from the two territories.
Iron Valley's economy needs to be driven by Shuijian District, and tax reductions can make businessmen in Shuijian District more willing to come to Iron Valley.
On the contrary, Mrs. Jie Lin was very happy and directly gave several docks near Tiegu to Tiegu.
Li Qi was able to station his own soldiers at the dock, and he also had a certain say in the Shuijian River Bend. Overall... he gained a lot.
Take the ferry back to Iron Valley.
On the way to the castle, people watched the soldiers returning in triumph holding their heads high and cheering one after another.
Some people didn't know what happened or why the battle was fought, but they knew that their lord had won.
The lord returns with glory and trophies, and it is an honor to be a subject of the victorious lord!
After coming back, it will be natural to reward them based on their merits.
All young noblemen who followed Li Qi to fight received a certain degree of monetary rewards.
The same goes for the soldiers, who received a large reward.
The two mercenaries who surrendered voluntarily could not be reused by Li Qi.
But they are extraordinary beings after all, and their power cannot be wasted.
Li Qi directly sent "Four-hand" Trevor, "Orc" Pig and "Scorpion" Allen to the dock outside Iron Valley.
There are three extraordinary beings guarding the key pier, which can also prevent accidents.
It can also save some of Li Qi's manpower.
Moreover, although the direct bloodline of Wells Bill is extinct, the collateral line of the Bill family is still there. According to the laws of the kingdom, as long as there is a blood relationship and the right to inheritance, you are eligible to inherit the territory.
As long as the Duke doesn't let go, the monkey family's territory will still belong to Bill.
Even a relative who might be working as a baker's apprentice, or a poor side relative who was a daughter-in-law, might suddenly become a new lord.
Even if the castle is taken away, it cannot be yours, but the dock is yours. If you control this economy in your own hands, it will directly cut off the possibility of the monkey leader heading north.
If you want to establish economic relations with Dongxia, you must use Li Qi's Pier!
No matter how much the other person dislikes you, you have to obediently give money.
However, Li Qi was not worried about how much hatred the new monkey leader would have towards him.
After all, he helped kill everyone in Wells's lineage. If he hadn't taken action, those sidelines would never have been able to come forward. Logically speaking, he should give himself a red envelope.
……
Pitts has been very busy lately.
She single-handedly took on tasks such as starling communication, armadillo digging, livestock consulting, and eagle eye monitoring.
Birds and beasts were released one after another to fulfill her orders.
Pitts was originally a person who didn't like learning very much, but recently he had to record too many things, and his cultural level was rising rapidly.
Fortunately, there is Lily in the castle. Her knowledge level is higher than that of Pitts, and she can always answer Pitts' questions.
But Pitts was happy and happy to do the work.
She can work hard with her obedient animal friends every day to serve the Lord and play her role.
I woke up early today, and it was still dark.
Pitts had breakfast with several other maids at the castle, then set off on the armadillo.
Today she was wearing a vest, shorts, a pair of white socks from a porcupine collar and small leather boots.
She put away her maid outfit with a white apron. Beautiful skirts were easily stained when working outside, and she preferred this lightweight combination.
Ever since the lord gave the order, Armadillo's excavation work has not stopped, and about one-half of the paving has been completed.
