A few years passed in a blink of an eye,
Ever since it was reported that the Howard family had to deal with their retainers, they began to gradually disappear from the public eye.
After all, as a marquis, Lu Yan does not have those "weird" behaviors.
For example, marrying the wives of counts, stealing fiancées, and having first night rights in the territory. Huh? This can be done!
The water conservancy workshop that was originally located by the river has now become a small town with a thousand people.
All serve here, and there are many cavalry stationed outside.
This is the heart of the Howard family and no outsiders are allowed to touch it.
Five years have passed, and Lu Yan has become much more mature than before.
With a neat short stubble beard, he sat on the main seat, looking down, with a serious expression.
Seeing this scene, the people below were very cautious.
This is not the old Marquis who was the previous one. He talks and laughs happily, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Lu Yan was the master who said he would bury people. Even if he was a close servant, he would be executed if he made a decision that harmed the family.
"Sedro, how is the situation with the cavalry?"
When it came to the annual summary meeting, Lu Yan did not make any opening remarks at all, but pointed directly at the core issue.
"Back to the Marquis, we have purchased 3,000 war horses from the Godzillas and will soon send them to the territory! The cavalry has now increased to 7,000!"
Looking at Lu Yan, Cedro quickly stood up and replied,
Looking at him, Lu Yan waved his hand calmly, saying that future wars will be resolved on horseback.
Speed is everything,
Those who command the soldiers who wave the flag and shout can be left to the knights under their command.
Nowadays, the items produced in the workshop are basically knight armors, including steel spears, riding blades, and a shield for the left hand that can protect against vital parts.
These things alone squeezed Lu Yan until he almost couldn't breathe.
Fortunately, the sales volume of vodka is still very good, otherwise Lu Yan would have taken the idea of Essos.
No one can stop his desire for money, unless the other party is called "The Night King".
"What happened to the Valyrian steel?"
Looking at Cedro, Lu Yan did not let him sit down, but asked seriously,
"Sorry, Lord Marquis, there are no clues at the moment!"
Sedro also looked embarrassed when he spoke bitterly.
Because of this matter, it has been going on for five years.
Come to think of it, the Lannister family in Casterly Rock once declared that they would buy a Valyrian steel sword for 20,000 gold dragons, but no one came. This proves how scarce Valyrian steel is.
The Howard family once had a Valyrian steel sword named "Incineration".
However, it was lost during the Targaryen family civil strife and the Blackfire War hundreds of years ago.
This matter has always worried the Howard family.
"If there was a place where Valyrian steel existed right now, where would it be?"
Looking at the people below, Lu Yan's eyes were filled with aggression.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at the Marquis, but no one refuted.
Because that place is Valyria,
Even though it was burned down by natural disasters and Valyria was shrouded in dust and viruses all year round, there were still exiled people surviving there.
What Lu Yan has to do is to go to Valyria, find a weapon that suits him, bring it back, or melt it and make it into a "Valyrian Steel Sword" that belongs to the Howard family!
"My Lord Marquis, I have to say, this is really too risky!"
Looking at Lu Yan, Karasuo on the side quickly spoke,
"It doesn't matter, I believe in my power!"
Waving his hands calmly, Lu Yan stood up and said, "Let me go down and prepare. This time I will just bring fifty Iron Walls!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Cedro quickly bowed down to prepare.
Looking down, Lu Yan said, "I hope that when I come back, it will be the same as before!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Looking at Lu Yan, everyone quickly stood up and bowed, their attitude was unusually correct.
Two days later, a ship flying the flag of the Howard family sailed toward the sea.
Sitting on the deck, Lu Yan fished leisurely.
Behind him are four soldiers surrounding him.
Their name is Tiebi, and they are refugees that Lu Yan has accepted one after another over the past five years.
When there was no hope, it was Lu Yan who saved them.
After receiving training and training in skills, wearing a full-body armor that is less than one-fifth of the weight of the original armor but extremely strong, holding a shield in the left hand, a big sword in the right hand, and a short spear hanging from the waist, if you can continue to fight for a day, you will become an iron wall!
In five years, even though Lu Yan paid a lot of money, he could only train less than 200 people.
This is his Praetorian Guard, which will replace the Kingsguard in the future.
He didn't want to be pierced by a sword from the knight he was loyal to. It would be too embarrassing!
As the leader of Tiebi, he is also someone close to Lu Yan, the chief knight of the Howard family, Cedro's younger brother, Aliu Younes!
A strong, very reckless man,
To put it nicely, he is extremely brave, but to put it badly, this guy is a mountain cannon!
But it is precisely because of this that Aliwu can serve as Lu Yan's close leader.
What he needs now is not smart people, but tool people!
Aren’t the Tyrells great at playing tricks? Even "Emperor Joffrey" was poisoned to death by the Queen of Thorns,
Why? Because the Queen of Thorns thinks that Joffrey is a brainless fool, the mad king,
If you marry Little Rose Tyrell, there will definitely be problems.
So the grandma who loved her granddaughter killed her in advance.
Even his own grandfather Tywin thought this "naughty child" was an eyesore and directly let Tommen inherit the throne.
Joffrey, the Eternal Emperor: How about that? I go
The ship was sailing towards the established route, but Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes,
"got windy!"
Just as Lu Yan finished speaking, the strong wind suddenly rose, blowing the canvas continuously.
Just when the sailors were about to trim the sails, Lu Yan raised his hand and said, "No, this is a tailwind!"
"Wow"
A large number of storms emerged from behind, pushing the ship forward, like sharp arrows,
Standing up, Lu Yan came to the front of the ship and opened his arms: "Is this the ability of Listener to the Wind? It seems that everything is under control!"
But just as Lu Yan finished speaking, the Iron Walls rushed to him and said: "Enemy attack!"
"Whoosh!"
The rocket struck from a distance, but before it could get close to Lu Yan, it was blown out by the wind and fell into the sea.
Opening his eyes, Lu Yan looked in the direction of the attack and immediately shouted angrily: "Who do they think I am? Move the boat over!"
After hearing Lu Yan's words, the sailors did not dare to disobey and immediately rushed over with their ships.
Seeing a ship on the sea, Euron the Crow's Eye, who was piloting the Serenity, became interested. After all, what the Ironborn are best at doing is buying and selling without capital.
But this time, Crow's Eye encountered Lu Yan. Compared with the business without capital, he robbed everyone in the Ming Dynasty.
The ships on both sides collided, and there was a sound of wood cracking.
Just as Crow's Eye was about to wave his sword and let his men start looting,
Lu Yan, wearing a mighty armor, jumped over from the opposite side, holding a giant sword and slashing forward,
"Wow!"
The speechless sailor in front of him was cut open, and blood spattered on the ground.
Crow-Eye Euron widened his remaining eyes and said in shock: "Watfar?"
"It's robbery time!"
Lu Yan swung his sword and blood spilled all over the ground.
