I'm speechless. I can't post the picture of the Easter egg chapter no matter how I post it.
As there were cheers and cheers outside as food was distributed according to the head count of city residents who came to register, Jiang Tian also got off the carriage at the back door of the city hall, picked up another person from it, and returned quietly. Arrive at the temporary army headquarters in the main building of the town hall.
Then, he silently looked at the beautiful woman who was still unconscious on the bed. There were still traces of tears and other things on her beautiful and picturesque face; however, even in her most forgetful moment, there was still a trace of regretful and heart-pounding sadness lingering between her eyebrows.
Jiang Tian originally thought that after being imprisoned and conditioned for a long time, she would be like the legendary woman-eating half who wanted too much. But it turns out that she has a sensitive and intolerant constitution. It's just that in the process of conditioning, some things become conditioned reflex instincts and habits that are deeply rooted in the bones.
But now that the matter is over, Jiang Tian will not regret or hesitate. After all, it was the other party who actively chose to use this innately special method as a reward for repayment and subsequent protection; so as a straight man Jiang Tian with all normal physical and mental indicators, what reason did he have not to accept it.
And the only request and condition she made during her brief period of consciousness was not to take the initiative to inquire about her past. However, just after the other party collapsed for an unknown number of times, Jiang Tian actually received a related side mission "Doll's House" in the vision panel.
Apparently, this new bedmate with a mysterious origin - Ms. Marlena, like the adjutant Boy Polly/Paulina, seems to exist as a key node of special influence in this world. Therefore, both publicly and privately, Jiang Tian was even less likely to let her go easily.
And when Jiang Tian finally turned around and left for a moment, the sleeping beautiful woman slowly opened her eyes; but two drops of clear tears were squeezed out of the corners of her eyes. It seems that he is repenting for his lack of shame, and at the same time rejoicing that he was able to be freed after what he had been through.
As soon as Jiang Tian walked into the corridor outside the door, he saw Xiao Juyin, who was the treasurer's accountant, and almost bumped into him from the corner; then he saw Xiao Juyin being supported, and he couldn't hide his flushed face. Asked: "Sir, did you go and seize the Kingdom Bank's vault?"
"Ha..." Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly thought, maybe this understanding is not wrong; because the coins stored in the main altar were much more than he imagined; many coins with heraldry were also found. Large gold and silver items, as well as ingots with exclusive inscriptions.
"I... I have never seen so much wealth since I was a child!" Then, he saw Xiao Juyin clenching his fists and hugging his heart, making unbearable expressions and movements and saying: "Those trucks are all filled with gold. and money, which alone have been counted, and amount to two hundred and seventy thousand crowns.”
"This doesn't mean anything. It's just an indispensable military expenditure as our career has just begun and started. In the future, you will have the opportunity to see more." However, Jiang Tian just shook his head and said: "I am more The concern is, has the food shipped back been counted?"
"Sir, we have already counted the grains, beans and wine brought back." Xiao Juyin couldn't help but straighten his face when he heard this: "Among them are six million pounds of wheat, five million pounds of barley, and more than a hundred chickpeas and peas. Ten thousand pounds; we also counted 7,000 barrels of wine, 15,000 barrels of beer, and 90,000 pounds of crude sugar..."
"So, I'm going to give you a new task now." Jiang Tian patiently listened to his statement and said, "It is to supervise the recruitment of residents in the city, set up a large food processing plant, and process these hard-to-preserve foods. Grain is made into military rations for long-term storage.”
The city of Midonie itself was an industrial and commercial city that relied on livestock slaughtering and related fur, tanning and meat products. Therefore, there is no shortage of related labor force and practicing craftsmen in the city. It is also the only advantage of being the current Free Army stronghold.
After you have money and food and expanded your army, you should seize the time to take the initiative; use the temporary emptiness after the defeat of the Lombards to recover a few more cities in the county and even the province, so as to snowball to obtain more resources, population and Territory is even a supplement to the source of troops.
But before that, Jiang Tian had to deal with a small incident. Because, as the adjutant Polly Boy/Paulina who stayed behind, he was temporarily autistic due to an unexpected incident. Now he is hiding in the room where he handles official business and hasn't come out for several days.
The cause of this incident is somewhat related to Jiang Tian's recent victory. After defeating the Lombard "Ligurian" regiment that was approaching the city, the defeated soldiers who fled along the road also spread the news of their defeat in disguised form throughout the Dron Province and even the surrounding areas.
As a result, it also attracted the attention of many forces in the country; therefore, just the day after Jiang Tian set off, the city of Midonie welcomed a special envoy; the other party claimed to be the newly enthroned Burgundian dynasty. The ministers were also ordered by the Grand Governor of Lyon who had just been appointed by the dynasty.
It is said that in the southern provinces that were invaded, there are still Kingdom troops who continue to fight. Therefore, he made a special trip to patrol through enemy-occupied areas, and wanted to recruit him under the command of the Grand Governor of Lyon, the Marquis of Antel. But the envoy was disappointed when he arrived at Midonie.
Because it happened that Jiang Tian had pulled out all the main troops; what was left was only a small number of troops left behind and a large number of new recruits undergoing training. Therefore, the envoy named Lord Lortai was somewhat disappointed, and he became more and more contemptuous of the Free Army of Midonie City.
After all, since the fall of the royal family, the whole country has fallen into turmoil, and there has been internal and external troubles caused by the invasion of foreign coalition forces. Now, in the more than 20 provinces and royal territories of the kingdom, there are almost wars everywhere, soldiers and bandits are rampant, and local armed forces are everywhere; and The Free Army is obviously just one of them.
Therefore, Lord Lortai, who had come to this conclusion, became more and more bossy and domineering; he began to put forward various harsh requirements step by step to the members of the Free Army; and because Jiang Tian was temporarily absent, all of this was Polly Boy/Paulina, who is the adjutant, deals with it.
As a result, I don’t know whether a flaw was accidentally exposed during the contact, or whether Lord Lortai was particularly fond of handsome young men in private. He actually created an opportunity to block the adjutant Paulina in the room, intending to do something unscrupulous. thing. Then unexpectedly and unexpectedly, he fell into the street.
As Lord Lortai was thrown out of the window, he was accidentally stabbed to death on the fence; and the dozen or so followers he brought with him were also killed on the spot by the guarding soldiers who woke up. It also means that the negotiations between the Free Army and the new dynasty have failed and may even become hostile.
Therefore, Polly Boy/Paulina, who was full of self-blame afterwards, locked herself in the room in disguise, claiming that she would resign only when the superior came back and accept the corresponding punishment. However, as a plot character with an important mission, how can Jiang Tian let her out of his grasp?
Therefore, after retreating and clearing the entire floor, Jiang Tian kicked open the temporary adjutant's room. The next moment, he saw a petite figure buried in a pile of official documents, jumping up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with tears still on his face and drooling at the corner of his mouth.
For a moment, it seemed a little funny and cute; "Sir, you are back," but the next moment, after she saw Jiang Tian clearly, her eyes turned red and she sobbed: "It's all my fault that led to this result. , please punish me severely!"
"I... really want to punish you!" The next moment, Jiang Tian strode forward, suddenly grabbed her and pinned her down on the table, and without any explanation, forcefully slapped the tight rear of her breeches and said, "But no Because you caused that person’s death, but because you showed yourself to be self-defeating!”
"Do you still remember, what is the purpose of our Free Army? To defend the country and protect the people, not the bullshit dynasty!" Jiang Tian continued to slap and slap, while hating that iron cannot become steel, he asked: "Can a self-proclaimed envoy, Does it make you afraid and shrink?"
Upon hearing this, Paulina suddenly stopped struggling, and burst into tears on the spot; just like any little girl of the right age, she cried with tears streaming down her face. I don’t know if it’s because of the swelling and pain in my buttocks, or if it touches my true feelings.
Therefore, Jiang Tian just stopped for a moment to think about it, and after letting her cry and vent, he pulled her up again without any explanation, and stumbled to the small terrace of the room. Facing the city, he asked: "Did you hear that?" Is that what it was? That was the cheers of the citizens."
"This is the direction we will fight for. It is not for the king or the dynasty, nor for the church or God, but to protect the short and humble smiles on the faces of these people, and to lead them to a better future. Tomorrow and the future..."
"So, if you kill an emissary of unknown origin, you will kill him; what is there to blame yourself for? In order to bring precious peace and happiness to thousands of ordinary people. In this On the difficult road full of thorns, we will kill more enemies."
"Whether it is an invading foreign army, a powerful person creating turmoil in the country, or the tyrant king in Jingquan Palace in the capital at the moment; as long as it stands in our way, we will destroy it without hesitation. Without this kind of hesitation Now that you are enlightened, how can you dream of reviving your family business?"
"The root causes of these sufferings and turmoil cannot be eliminated; do you expect those corrupt and depraved kingdom officials, or the extravagant and lustful nobles of Jingquan Palace, to treat you, the survivor of a broken family, especially Please be merciful and give you a chance to make progress?"
Finally, Jiang Tian stared closely at her tear-stained face, and asked with scorching eyes: "Dare I ask, do you have such determination and awareness? If not, or if you feel that you can't accept it, then go back to Dadani Go to Ancheng, get married and have children, and look forward to the next generation!"
Immediately, Jiang Tian, who felt that he was a little too pretentious and secretly regretted it, hurriedly left the room without looking back, leaving her alone to calm down slowly.
However, only half an hour later, Jiang Tian saw Paulina who had wiped away the tear stains on her face, but was rubbing her butt from time to time, and walking a little awkwardly; amid the stiff expressions of the two guards on duty, who looked at her unblinkingly, Jiang Tian slowly Xu walked in and said, "Sir, I've already thought about it."
At the same time, a prompt popped up in his field of vision: "Task prerequisite: Paulina's family affairs. The first stage (completion: 101%). Free space-time quantum collection is in progress... Functions are partially restored. …, please specify one of the corresponding modules.”
"Just figure it out." The next moment, Jiang Tian couldn't help but be overjoyed. He couldn't help but hugged her, raised her up and turned around a few times and said, "It's really an honor to be with you." . Immediately, he chose the dark "Dimensional Bubble" module without hesitation.
