Lord of Rot

Chapter 484 The Undefeated Golden Bear (6000 words)
Li Qi let go of his hand, and the windows of the carriage were not closed.

The two were speechless, but after a short pause, Li Qi turned around and left on horseback.

He wanted to rush to the towns near the capital as soon as possible, and there were still many important things to do.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally arrive at the destination before it gets completely dark.

On the central street of the town, passers-by stopped and looked at Li Qi in plate armor and the troops behind him, guessing his identity one after another.

Li Qi rode his horse and looked around. The dark sky did not affect his eyesight. He glanced at the pedestrians who were watching. The appearance of the people in the middle part was slightly different from that of Dongxia, and their cheekbones were generally higher.

Soldiers dispersed the crowd, and they settled down at an inn.

"Protect Miss Ewen Jielin," Li Qi said to the soldiers, "There is only one day left. After tomorrow, everyone will be rewarded!"

Write the check and let the golden stallion pay for it.

"Yes, my lord!" The soldiers were emotional.

Departed in February and arrived at the end of March.

Although the leisurely journey all the way is very similar to a spring outing, but after a long time, people's spirit is also very tired.

But at the thought of receiving the reward, all the fatigue disappeared.

Enough money, life for you.

"En." Li Qi nodded, and then left the Luozu Station alone, he wanted to go out for a stroll.

As expected of a town close to the royal capital, life is rich, and most of the people have smiles on their faces.

Vendors with stalls occupy a street.

Although the avenue paved with stone bricks is not as good as the porcupine collar, the manpower and material resources spent are definitely several times that of the porcupine collar.

He stopped suddenly, and saw a ragged little boy trotting over, with a snot hanging from his nose, looking up at Li Qi: "Someone is looking for you."

"Okay, take me there."

The little boy led the way, followed by Li Qi, and after turning left and right, he entered an ordinary residential building.

Knock on the door with a special rhythm, and the door opens.

"Come in," the little boy said to Li Qi, and went in first.

Li Qi followed in, and the door behind him was closed. Li Qi glanced back and found that the person who closed the door was a little girl in tattered clothes, with fear written all over her dusty little face.

The doors and windows in the dwellings were closed tightly and there was no light, so candles were lit for lighting.

And a familiar face stood there and looked at him respectfully: "Ye An, my lord!"

Li Qi looked around at the children standing around him, and said, "Alan, it seems that you have completed the task well."

"They have the same background as me." Alan looked at the children and said, "Surviving with difficulty, they are the mice in the stinky rat alley. They have struggled all their lives and will never see hope. Being able to serve you is their chance to change their destiny." ! The only chance!"

The children in ragged clothes looked at Li Qi eagerly, and they also knew that a certain opportunity to change their destiny lay in the person in front of them.

"Alan, you are in charge of letting these poor children join us, telling them what they can and cannot do," Li Qi said, "and then prepare a file for each of them, when they have to leave the capital , They can go to any place in my territory to start a new life, this is my promise."

"Yes!" Allen said excitedly, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord!"

The children who failed to understand what they were about to get just bowed their heads along with Allen.

Li Qi took out five gold coins from his body: "Buy something, let the children eat something good."

After seeing the money, the eyes of the children really began to brighten. They really believed in what it means to change their destiny, at least they will not be hungry in the future.

"All the children in Stink Rat Lane can join." Li Qi looked at the children and said, "Don't worry, no matter how many thousands or tens of thousands of you there are, I can afford to support them all!"

……

The next day, Li Qi rode on his horse and led the team to the capital.

The city wall soars into the sky, and Mama City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is low like an earthen wall in front of it.

"It is said that Wangcheng covers an area of ​​at least 350 porcupine castles, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the area of ​​porcupine collars, and has a population of 40."

The entire central capital has a population of 150 million. As the most livable and most prosperous area, the population gathers here.

Big cities are more attractive for people to settle down, but poor areas cannot retain people.

After actually entering the capital, Li Qi felt what it means for a country baron to enter the city.

There are people coming and going on the street, and all the people are crowded.

The noble carriage and the beggars begging along the street seemed to be pressed together by invisible big hands, forcibly squeezed together, which looked very inconsistent.

Behind the drunk man who urinates and urinates on the street corner, the elegant lady with her skirt up her swan neck passed by without looking sideways.

Even if they are forced to get together, everyone can clearly identify their own class and never go beyond it.

Looking at the soldiers in gorgeous armor with golden bears printed on their shields, Li Qi sighed in his heart: "The standing army has about 15000 people, and it is worthy of being a king."

The apparent total population of Li Qi's current territory is only over [-] people, and all the people are soldiers, which cannot compare to the number of troops in the capital of the king.

"My lord, I am here to meet the team by the order of the king!" A man in a gorgeous golden bear plate armor and a cloak rode a horse came to Li Qi, bowed and greeted Li Qi without dismounting.

"Your Excellency, Sir Ian Kein?" Li Qi asked, looking at the man who took off his helmet.

"Yes, Lord Li Qi!" Being recognized, the other party seemed to take it for granted.

It is said that there are 30 captains in the internal defense force of the royal city, each with 500 elite soldiers. The captains are all taken by members of the king's close factions, such as Yan Kein, whose father and King Boer II have the same grandfather .

What really made Li Qi recognize Yan Kein was because of his more famous nickname.

There are wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

Ian Kerin, known as the 'Three-Eyed Rahan Eagle', because he has a large beak under his left eye, which looks like he has three eyes.

He himself doesn't care about his appearance, and is even proud of his nickname.

"I heard that your excellency in archery is superb, and you can hit every shot." Li Qi and Yan Kein rode forward side by side.

"I once shot down two eagles with one arrow in the Flying Valley." Yan Kern said proudly: "In the Flying Valley, the Lahan Eagle is a bird domesticated by people for hunting. It has very good eyesight. Families who have domesticated Lahan eagles in Flying Valley will basically not go hungry, and many families will domesticate a large number of Lahan eagles."

You are from Wangdu, what are you doing with the nickname of Flying Valley?
Yan Kein seemed to have noticed Li Qi's suspicious gaze, and explained: "My wife is from the Flying Valley. They worship the eagle god and love the Lahan eagle."

"Oh, that's it." Li Qi nodded.

So Lahan Eagle should be the local "smelly treasure" and "my dog" in Flying Valley.

It's not what Li Qi imagined, since the Lahan Eagle will be tamed in large numbers, it doesn't seem like a good reputation.

It's like saying a man is like a wolf, lonely and fierce.

But to say that a person is as smart as a dog is somewhat insulting.

There are guards clearing the way ahead, unimpeded along the way.

"What's the arrangement for today?" Li Qi asked in a low voice: "Miss Ewen Jielin is exhausted, it would be rude to meet the king directly."

"There is a banquet tonight, specially to welcome Miss Evangeline, so you and Miss Evangeline can have a good rest before then."

Li Qi nodded, indicating that the king still respects the Dongxia people.

Then he asked again: "Sir Yan, as a believer of the Four Gods, I have longed for the cathedral in the royal city. I wonder if it is far from here?"

In fact, Li Qi got the map of the entire Wangcheng. Of course, he knew that there were two roads to Xiongbao after entering the Wangcheng, and both of them were about the same distance, but he promised to take Red Qiangwei to see the bridge. There is no need to miss the appointment.

"Haha, we just happened to pass by there." Yan Keyin said with a smile: "As a believer of the Four Gods, I can understand your mood, Mr. Li Qi."

After Yan Kein made a few gestures, the soldiers who cleared the way ahead immediately changed direction and walked towards the cathedral.

In the distance is the towering and huge Four Gods Church.

Nearby is a stone bridge, spanning the river, the breeze swaying the river, the sun rippling with the wrinkled water, everything is so beautiful.

Li Qi came outside Hong Qiangwei's carriage, raised his hand this time, but the window didn't open.

"Knock knock" he tapped with his knuckles.

It took a while for the window to open.

"It's just ahead, the bridge that I agreed to show you yesterday."

"Hug and kiss under the bridge, can we really be blessed to love each other forever?" Hong Qiangwei asked.

Li Qi wanted to tell her that love is dynamic, because people are always changing, if two people can keep the love at this moment forever, it is not a blessing at all, but a curse.

Love is the process of discovering each other's shortcomings, then trying to accept them, creating new conflicts, accepting them again, and chasing each other.

A kiss under the bridge means that we must depend on each other, never leave, never give up, it's just a good wish.

Li Qi has always been allergic to romance, so of course it doesn't prevent him from eating sweets and melons.

"Of course." Li Qi nodded. Sometimes he doesn't like to tell the truth, and judging from the physical and psychological condition of the second prince, the word love should have nothing to do with Red Rose.

"Let's go," Li Qi said, "Hurry up and rest in Bear Castle, there will be a banquet to welcome you tonight."

"Yeah" the window closed.

Li Qi also returned to Yan Kein's side, and explained to him: "Miss Evangeline is a devout believer, and she just finished her prayer."

"The four gods care about every believer." Yan Keyin nodded, and said when passing the stone bridge: "Master Li Qi, have you heard the rumors about this bridge?"

"What rumor?" Li Qi's expression of pretending to be stupid was just right.

"When the church bell rings at dusk, and the male and female couples take a boat and kiss under the bridge, they will be blessed to love each other forever."

Yan Keyin thinks that Li Qi must not know about this rumor, otherwise he would not be whispering in front of the bridge with the prince's fiancée, it seems that the two are in love.

Seeing Li Qi's puzzled eyes again, Yaen nodded secretly, as expected, outsiders did not know this legend.

They are just devout believers of the Four Gods, who have come all the way to worship.

"There is such a saying?" Li Qi expressed his surprise appropriately, and then asked: "Sir Yarn, have you and your wife been here before?"

"Of course not." Yan said helplessly: "She is a believer in the Falcon God, but I don't really believe in the bridge."

"Haha, I suddenly felt that it might be really useful."

They chatted about the pleasures of the city.

From this, Li Qi also got a more crucial piece of information.

Before the official wedding, there will be a hunting event to commemorate the death of the eldest prince and the wedding of the little prince.

After arriving at Bear Castle, Li Qi completely separated from Red Rose's team. The soldiers and even servants who came with her would leave tomorrow. She would really be alone in the huge Bear Castle.

During this period, the two sides did not meet again.

"By the way, Sir Ian." Li Qi asked Yan Kein who turned around and wanted to leave: "I really want to borrow books from the big library. I heard that there are countless books here. I don't know if I can go to the big library. What special request?"

"Big library?"

Yan Keyin shook his head: "I don't like reading, and I don't know much about it, but I can recommend someone to you. I will let him come to you after the banquet tonight."

Li Qixin said happily: "Thank you very much!"

The room that Bear Castle reserved for Li Qi was spacious enough, and there were four servants.

Li Qi was not polite, and took a comfortable bath, during which the four male servants ran back and forth to change the hot water, and they were very busy.

When the sky gradually dimmed, Li Qi also changed into new clothes under the service of the male servants.

"Carrot, how is it?"

While Li Qi was looking at the mirror, he looked at the subordinates guarding the door.

The carrot with a tough face and firm eyes immediately replied: "The gifts that took the water from Iron Valley, passed through the water stream, and then sent to Lintawan were delivered a few days ago. The gifts were sent one by one."

"Very good." Li Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Compared with the king who is richer, Li Qi is not so presumptuous, but he doesn't mind using some interesting gadgets to change his favor, especially the country's "top class" queen Orianna Keyin, who came to the capital How can you not give the other party a set of skirts.

If she puts it on, Li Qi is confident that his silk will sell out to the entire upper class in no time.

There is also the alcoholic Bohr II, who will definitely like the crafted porcupine wine.

Although Li Qi looked down on the second prince, little George, he also wanted to find out what he liked.

In addition to liking men, little George also likes to hunt strange monster collections, so Li Qi asked the scholars to rush out a set of monster war chess, which has dragons, giants, centaurs, harpies and other creatures, all Li Qi saw it with his own eyes.

They are made to be only the size of a palm, and they all have their own logic of doing things.

For example, some centaurs will shout: "We are centaurs, not centaurs, let alone centaurs! Horses must be in front!"

The dragon will breathe fire: "My treasure! Treasure!"

When you control the dragon to kill the harpy, the dragon will complain: "Do you know that I am a dragon? You let me do something to such a small thing! Humph!"

Let the lizardmen attack the dragon, and the lizardmen will tremble.

As long as it is a man, Li Qi does not believe that anyone can refuse this thing.

It got dark.

When Li Qi came to the banquet hall under the guidance of the male servant, Li Qi knew that all the gifts he gave were in line with their wishes.

A long table was already full of people.

All of them are the top nobles in this country.

Among them, an "acquaintance" can be seen, Prince George Kern, who immediately looked at Li Qi. When Li Qi turned his gaze away, George Kern squeezed out a smile.

"Although he didn't know that I did it, the death of the half-orc army made it difficult for me to contact the Panbo Continent, and all follow-up plans were shelved." Prince George Kern managed to hold back a smile for a second or two, He felt sour on his cheeks: "Now that the desert is in his hands, next time when the orcs send an army, how should they handle their strength? Mere porcupines are not a problem, but I am afraid that the orc army is too strong and cannot resist it. It still takes time..."

I don't know him, but Li Qi thinks the same as him: "Although Prince One Ear doesn't know that I did it, he must blame me for the death of the half-orc army. After all, I fought with the half-orc army." There is no concealment in the news, the mere prince is nothing, but I am afraid that this bastard will jump over the wall in a hurry. If I bring in a stronger half-orc team, I can't stop it. I still need time to develop slowly..."

The two looked at each other.

They all showed kind smiles.

"Hahaha!" The roaring laughter of a bear came, and the fat middle-aged man sitting on the chair looked at his son studying the chessboard beside him: "Little George, you should grow up! But this set of things is very interesting. "

He grabbed a griffin piece casually, and then looked at Li Qi: "Sir Li Qi, did you invent this?"

"Your Majesty" Li Qi bent down: "This is a mixture of magic and alchemy developed by the scholars in my territory."

"It's interesting, the scholars are always full of wisdom."

This person can only sit on the main seat, it can only be Boer II in the past.

He let go of his hand, and the griffin spread its wings and flew back to the chessboard, and everyone who watched was amazed.

Sitting next to the king was a graceful and luxurious woman. What caught Li Qi's eyes was not because she resembled the globe flower Monica Bellucci in appearance, but because the other party put on a dress he gave her.

No one can force a queen who has tens of thousands of luxurious long dresses in her closet to wear which one. Only she really likes it is the only reason for making a choice.

"I like the dress you gave me very much, Baron Li Qi." The queen looked at Li Qi and smiled.

"My honor." Li Qi bowed and nodded.

"Take a seat."

Li Qixi mentioned a corner seat on the long table.

On this long table sat the king, queen, prince, and ministers, so Li Qi didn't feel uncomfortable at all that he could only get a seat in a small corner.

Hong Qiangwei also arrived soon, she just glanced at Li Qi hastily, the two sides looked at each other at that moment, except for the two of them, no one else could perceive what the hasty glance represented.

Li Qi nodded slightly, wondering if Hong Qiangwei saw it.

"Come on, my dear." The queen stood up and held Red Rose's hand. When she stood up, Li Qi could see how tall she was. The not-too-short Red Rose was beside her, a little too small and thin.

Red Qiangwei's cheeks were slightly flushed against the red hair. She was held by the queen, and the two looked like a loving mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

A mature woman, a young girl, and both of them are top-notch beauties. Standing together, they are so beautiful.

The two of them stopped after walking a few steps.

Red Rose was arranged beside the second prince, George Kern Jr., but when the future king saw Red Rose approaching, his expression changed suddenly.

Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting him, the little George who hates women and loves men really opened Li Qi's eyes.

Everyone present could clearly see his resistance coming out of every pore, but everyone chose to pretend not to see it.

"Sit here, my dear." The queen pressed Red Rose's shoulders and let her sit beside little George, forcing her to be right.

Then the queen patted little George on the shoulder again: "Take care of your fiancée, my little bear."

"It was Hugo who was engaged to her, not me," Little George muttered.

Hong Qiangwei's body was slightly stiff, but she knew what her mission was, so she could only pretend not to hear.

Li Qi picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "The wine is not bad, but it is much worse than my porcupine brew."

Seeing how the king staggered around holding the wine Li Qi gave him, it was obvious how much he liked the Porcupine brand.

"The undefeated Golden Bear who was invincible on the battlefield was just an ordinary person, not even a superhuman." Li Qi thought far away. In this world where the strength of a single person can even be compared to the deterrent power of a nuclear bomb, the king is just a man. Ordinary people, in every sense of the word, are terrible.

Governing the country does not require strong strength, but the Lurea Continent advocates duels and worships the strong.

What's more, Bohr II is famous not because he is good at governing the country. On the contrary, he doesn't understand any concept of governing the country at all, he just knows how to fight.

It is possible to turn the tide in times of war, but after peace, it is a bit difficult.

Li Qi thought if he wanted to kill the king, would this group of people be able to stop him?The answer is that no one can stop it, maybe I can easily wipe out the people at this long table.

"Let's eat." He rolled up his sleeves: "For such a big king, he has to use his hands to eat, alas!"

Seeing that a certain minister pinched the peacock several times with his finger, but failed to snap off a piece of flesh, instead, his fingernails were full first, and his hands were covered with oil, Li Qi made up his mind that he would never touch that peacock. vegetable.

In Li Qi's ups and downs and difficult struggles, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and finally ate a few dishes that were not caught, and his chest stuck to his back when he was barely hungry.

"I knew that the king's dinner would not be full, so I would sneak away and eat my fill first."

In short, at this moment, he felt very regretful.

The banquet door suddenly opened.

A group of brightly dressed people walked in.

Some held unlit torches, some were gnomes, and still others clutched a dozen orbs.

"And there's an after-dinner performance?" Li Qi looked at the group of people pouring in with great interest, who looked like a circus juggling.

You can still watch the show after eating, which is not a bad thing.

However, Li Qi's brain quickly went astray again. He glanced at the drunken king and said to himself, "There shouldn't be a scene where Jing Ke assassinates Qin, right?"
