Chapter 584: knight sisters
In the outskirts of Tiegebao, a small farming village.
"My lord, please do me a favor. The villain's old wife is already dying of illness, so I can continue my life with this little food!"
Under the eaves of a dilapidated house, a thin old farmer with white hair and torn sackcloth knelt down on the ground, screaming hoarsely.
He used a pair of withered arms to tightly hug the thigh of a fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe in front of him.
Weeping uncontrollably, he said, "Since the villain's two sons both died of illness while building the castle for the city lord, let's leave this stuttering for the villain..."
"Go away, you bastard!"
On the other side, the obese middle-aged man in a brocade robe kicked the hunched old farmer in front of him to the side of the fence with a look of disgust, and said with a cold snort: "If you dare Crying in front of your lord, my lord will directly burn your kennel!"
Speaking of this, the fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe commanded the two soldiers with fierce faces beside him to carry away the two sacks of wheat just found from the old farmer's house, and joked: "Old man, blame me Just blame those two stupid sons of yours for not making any fuss."
After all, the fat middle-aged man in a beautiful brocade robe, surrounded by a group of soldiers, sneered and walked towards the gate of the courtyard surrounded by the broken fence.
However, just a few steps away from the fat man, the old farmer, who was still unwilling to give up and whose tattered clothes were covered with mud, struggled to get up from under the fence again, resisting the pain in his body, and staggered to block the fat man again. in front of.
Due to the threat from the other party just now, this time, the old farmer, who was barely standing still, did not speak, but stood firm and motionless, staring at the sack of wheat on the shoulder of the soldier beside him, apparently in a silent struggle .
For a moment, the dry and thin old farmer, who was alone, was in stark contrast to the fat middle-aged man and the tall and strong soldiers in front of him, which made people feel a sense of embarrassment.
"You bastard, you actually stand in front of my lord again!"
The fat man's complexion darkened, and a ball of blazing fire was suspended above his fat hand in an instant. In an instant, the flame rose, reflecting a ferocious face.
But when the fat middle-aged man was about to kill him, not far away, a pair of thin young women who had just returned from picking wild vegetables caught his attention.
"Old man, those two are your daughters, right?"
After extinguishing the fireball on his palm, a wretched look appeared on the face of the obese middle-aged man and said: "It happens that my lord's mansion lacks two maids, and you want food, then the matter is very simple , as long as you hand over your daughter to me, the food will be returned to you immediately."
Licking his chapped lips, the obese middle-aged man added: "In this way, you get the food, and my lord gets the maid. There is nothing better than this!"
After all, the fat middle-aged man didn't wait for the old farmer to answer, but excitedly ordered two tall soldiers to step forward, and in the blink of an eye, the pair of thin young women with confused faces were bound tightly.
"Father...Father!"
In an instant, the grass basket full of wild vegetables fell to the ground, and the terrified and desperate screams of the two young women constantly stimulated the eardrums of the old farmer.
Seeing that the other party actually wanted to take away his only pair of daughters, the old farmer's cloudy eyes immediately turned red, and his old begging face instantly froze on the spot.
I saw his old feet wrapped in old straw sandals, slowly and secretly exerting force, causing the soil at the heel to move slightly, obviously preparing to fight the opponent with this withered body in the dying years.
There is no doubt that even if there is no possibility of winning, the old farmer will desperately eat a piece of the opponent's meat.
Directly opposite, all of this was naturally seen clearly by the middle-aged obese man. He is a second-order peak powerhouse, enough to easily kill this kind of old guy who doesn't even have an energy vortex.
"Toast and not eat fine wine, since you want to die so much, then my lord will fulfill you!"
The fire magic energy particles in the air were trembling, just as the murderous look on the face of the middle-aged obese man became extremely intense.
Accompanied by a gust of wind, two slender and slender female figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone present.
I saw that both of them were wearing a set of light blue knight casual clothes, with a knight sword on their waists, and even the long hair neatly curled up on their heads was exactly the same.
It's just that the taller female knight has a pretty face dotted with a little charm, and the glamorous temperament exuding from her body gives people a sense of inaccessibility, which is quite like a royal sister.
Another female knight who was a little shorter was blinking bright star eyes, in which there was a touch of self-willedness and arrogance faintly revealed, a temperament of a noble lady.
Needless to say, these two are Tina, the leader of the Blue Rose Knights, and her younger sister Tia.
"Lord Jim, stop as it suits you."
Glancing coldly at the fat middle-aged man, Tina Dai frowned and said: "Your Excellency is just a grain requisition officer under Lord Marquis, it seems that he has no right to deal with the free farmers in Lord Marquis' territory at will?"
"I thought someone was so short-sighted, but it turned out to be dear Captain Tina... my lord."
Resentfully dispelling the deadly fireball in his hand, the fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe first looked up and down Tina's uneven body without any scruples.
Then, he snorted disdainfully and said, "I'm just a grain requisition officer under the Marquis, but you are just a watchdog raised by the Marquis. If there is no charity from the Marquis, I'm afraid you, the so-called The Knights have already disbanded and disappeared, right?"
"A watchdog in need of help actually jumps out to meddle in people's business. There are so many rare things these days."
After all, the fat middle-aged man known as Lord Jim burst into laughter with the soldiers around him with a big belly.
"Jim, don't bully me too much, you fellow!"
Before Tina could reply, Tia took a step forward, put her hand on the hilt of her sword and said, "As far as I know, the free farmers in this village have already completed the land directly owned by the Marquis, and paid in full on time. and what you are expropriating now is the free farmers own portion of the grain, right?
"So what?"
With a sneer, Lord Jim's fat face covered with horizontal flesh was full of indifference.
Then he argued: "The direct land is the territory of the Marquis. Could it be that the land of these lowly slaves is not the territory of the Marquis? As the grain requisition officer of the Marquis, I collect the grain produced on the territory of the Marquis. Is there anything worthy of doubt?"
"You are completely preposterous!"
I saw Tia's small face with a furious look, and said **** for tat: "From the moment His Majesty the King of Heroes established the Lengyan Kingdom, the first law of the kingdom promulgated was to abolish serfs and guarantee free farming. Power, don't you understand this?"
"I don't know any kingdom laws."
Still raising his eyebrows nonchalantly, Lord Jim said with a look of surprise on his fat face: "Dear sister leader, don't you know that Lord Marquis owns the judicial power of this land? Really? A small and brainless lady."
After all, Lord Jim glanced at Tiya's flat chest in disgust, and laughed loudly with the surrounding soldiers again.
"You look like a dog..."
Hearing this, Tia, who was furious, was about to draw her sword, but was stopped by Tina at the side.
"The other party is the loyal dog leg of the Marquis, and it is not appropriate to conflict with him."
First, she whispered something to Tia in her ear, and Tina took a step forward and said loudly: "Lord Jim, even the local judicial power cannot override the laws of the kingdom. In this regard, your Excellency must be stronger than anyone else." clear."
After a pause, Tiya raised her eyebrows slightly, and continued: "Once this matter gets to the Tigeburg Court, if it gets out, it will only ruin the reputation of the Marquis. Presumably, this is what you don't want to see. Bar?"
"Tch, just talking about lip service, the captain is really invincible."
Once again snorting disdainfully, Lord Jim waved his hand to signal the soldiers to put down the food and the two young women, while slowly squatting down in front of the old farmer, with a fierce look on his face, he said: "Old man, this time is your fate, Ben My lord, let's see if you will have such good luck next time."
"Your two daughters will be in the hands of my lord sooner or later."
Speaking of this, Lord Jim looked wretchedly at the two thin young women who had just been let go, and then he laughed loudly and led his soldiers out of the small courtyard.
"The villain thanks Master Tina, the villain thanks Master Tiya!"
Seeing Lord Jim leaving, the old farmer immediately relaxed, and immediately pulled his two daughters, knelt down in front of Tina and Tia, and said in tears: "If you two don't come forward, I'm afraid the villain will The family is broken..."
"You don't need to be too polite, old gentleman."
Looking at the unbearable scene in front of her, Tina took Tia first, helped the three of them up quickly, and then said: "As a knight, it is our duty to protect the free farmers on this land. "
Having said that, Tina couldn't help but shook her head helplessly.
Although as early as the establishment of Lengyan, His Majesty the Hero King abolished the serf system, making all the people of Lengyan become free farmers with unrestricted actions.
However, since the ownership of the land is still firmly in the hands of the nobles in various places, whether the people in various places are truly free or not depends on the noble city lords in various places.
But even so, in the first three hundred years, the land of Lengyan was peaceful, and there were almost no traditional nobles who violated the laws promulgated by His Majesty the King of Heroes.
Until the past three hundred years, due to the frequent wars around the kingdom, many new nobles who have accumulated military exploits and conquered their territories began to rise slowly without knowing it.
Most of these ancestors were originally new nobles who were free farmers. After obtaining the judicial power bestowed by the royal family, they began to become more and more unscrupulous in their own fiefdoms.
One after another, they covered the free farmers with the same status as their ancestors with their big hands covering the sky.
No one thought that the many cruel methods used by the upstarts of these kingdoms in the fiefdoms would make many traditional nobles feel inferior... Tiegebao, where they live, is the most typical representative of them.
Not following the rules is also the main source of conflict between the new aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy.
Due to the rapid rise of the new nobles, many traditional nobles felt threatened and began to catch up desperately.
In the case of overlapping interests and power, small-scale wars between the old and new nobles, or secret intrigues, began to be staged one after another.
For hundreds of years, events such as marriage, instigation, assassination, and even extermination of the family have occurred frequently in Lengyan. While making many noble families stronger, it has naturally caused many noble families to gradually decline.
As Lengyan's highest power center, the Lengyan royal family, most of the kings turned a blind eye to this kind of aristocratic war with fleshy palms and backs.
It wasn't until the coronation of the nineteenth King Cold Flame, known as the King of Steel Arms, that the situation began to ease.
And this heroic Lengyan King is the old kingdom who is in a coma in his twilight years.
Thinking of this, Tina Dai lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly.
Having said that, the reason why Lord Jim acted so recklessly in the village just now was that he was instructed by the Lord Marquis, the city lord of Tiegebao.
This is exactly the reason why she was afraid and didn't directly take action to teach the other party a lesson.
Because behind the opponent, stands the absolute master here, Lord Marquis.
As a radical figure loyal to the second prince, Leng Yan's new aristocrat, the Marquis has done a lot of despicable things.
And the most important reason why such a wicked nobleman was willing to contribute to the Blue Rose Knights before was because he wanted to use the Blue Rose Knights to restore some of his reputation.
As for why Tina, who has never been with the other ~, still chooses to stay on this land, she also has her own difficulties.
On the one hand, it is to help the people on this land as much as possible,
On the other hand, it is because their roots are here...
"Sister... Leader, what should we do?"
After sending the old farmer and two daughters back to the dilapidated wooden house, Tiya, who walked out again, frowned and said: "It won't be long, those nasty guys will definitely come back again!"
"It's a little bit of help."
Shaking her head helplessly, Tina looked at the dilapidated and desolate environment around her, and sighed softly: "With our strength, we can only do this."
"Sister, do you think there will be a big man who will change this place?"
As the starry eyes flickered, Tia's pretty face was full of anticipation.
