Lord of Rot

Chapter 115 Water can carry a boat

The visitor has a pretty appearance and a small figure.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, he was only wearing light armor with a thin layer of cloth underneath.

She walked to the middle of the meeting hall, faced Li Qi, and put one hand on her chest: "Irene, the messenger from Longship Castle, came to pay homage to your lord with the friendship of Baroness Wodu of Longship Castle."

"Miss Irene," Li Qi said, "I'm very curious. I don't have any communication with Baroness Waudou, so how can we have friendship?"

It is almost impossible for nobles to be so disrespectful.

But Li Qi pointed it out directly, I don’t know you.

The Porcupine Territory slaves were robbed in Water Stream. He didn't believe that Longship Castle didn't know anything about it, and the time of Erin's arrival was just right, just half a day after the slaves arrived at Porcupine Territory.

Considering the current situation in Shuijian Land, it was not difficult for Li Qi to guess what Baroness Wodu meant.

She wanted to draw Porcupine Collar into the battlefield.

Baroness de Vaudoux was so ill that she sought medical treatment, and even the country baron went to see her.

"You defeated the Bastard's army when you passed through Shuijian Land before, and you were of great help." Irene said.

"That Wodu Seventeen?" Li Qi asked.

Erin was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly: "Yes, sir."

Li Qi would not agree with this bullshit connection, and it was a group of farmers blocking the road, and its demise had nothing to do with him.

"If the Baroness really wants to talk about friendship, she should bring my slaves back instead of Miss Irene coming here empty-handed!"

Yilin could have guessed Li Qi's attitude. Don't they want Baron Porcupine's anger?

The Porcupine Baron, who is angry and whose interests have been damaged, will definitely not refuse to cooperate.

"Mrs. Jielin hopes to get your help," Yilin said: "As long as you can help resist their offensive, Mrs. Jielin is willing to find those lost slaves for you!"

"offensive?"

Li Qi ignored the cake drawn by the other party and asked in surprise: "Can't you defeat Wodu Eighteen? Or are there other nobles taking action?"

The situation far exceeded Li Qi's expectation.

Wodu Eighteen is not just making a small fuss, but is causing Longship Castle a headache, and Longship Castle may even be lost?

On one side is the longship fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, with excellent soldiers, complete ordnance and equipment, and on the other side are farmers carrying hoes. The two sides are not at the same level at all. Li Qi never thought that the Baroness would lose.

In his previous expectation, Leopold finally took action to calm the matter, and then the participants drank some soup, and everyone was happy except the Baroness.

Or maybe the Baroness forced herself to give birth to a child, and then the illegitimate children disappeared without a trace.

"Only that...Eighteen" Erin had no choice but to accept Li Qi's way of chatting. Although this title was very humiliating, Baron Porcupine was the one who could get the last help from Longship Castle: "He was crazy and claimed that the land would be returned. To farmers, slaves can also obtain the status of civilians. In this way, he gathered a large number of teams in a short period of time. Several villages in Shuijian were attacked, and among the villages that were attacked, farmers and Almost all the serfs chose to join them.”

It's like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "Don't tell me, it's quite in line with your Wodu family's style of doing things."

The Vodou family has a ship as its family emblem.

Family motto: Water can carry a boat.

Judging from Wodu Shiba's work style, it is in line with the family motto. He really made a lot of mistakes.

Erin: "..."

Does the family motto actually mean this? However, her surname was not Wodu, so she could only remain silent.

Li Qi: "This man is really crazy. If everyone is equal, do we still need him to be a baron?"

The reform of the social system does not happen overnight. From a slave society ruled by aristocrats, it suddenly transforms into a society of great harmony, where everyone has land to farm, everyone has food to eat, and everyone is equal. The most powerful and rich aristocrats are directly kicked away. , then the result is obvious.

People can lead the times, but they cannot take huge leaps beyond the times. People in this era cannot accept this kind of leap. Without sufficient support, those who transcend the times will only be hanged.

But I have to say that that Wodu Shiba was more courageous than any previous fake illegitimate son.

The people at the bottom will support whoever provides the land and provides more benefits. This is true in any world. He has successfully scratched the itch of the people at the bottom.

So there are two endings for Wodu Eighteen.

Either he can have the right to sweep the world in an instant and complete his great hegemony, or he can only be annihilated by other nobles.

"Mrs. Jie Lin said that she can give..." Yi Lin continued.

"Needless to say," Li Qi interrupted Yilin's pie-making behavior and said, "I can help Longship Castle, but as you can see, the Porcupine Collar is very weak and does not have enough soldiers."

Erin immediately said: "If you can lend a sum of money to Longship Castle to hire a group of mercenaries, Longship Castle will definitely remember your friendship."

"This is even more impossible," Li Qi said: "Can you see how shabby my castle is? I still live in a leaky castle, and not everyone of my soldiers wears armor. They have saws. I don’t have the money to help you fight with gaping weapons.”

What a white wolf with nothing to lose, either borrowing troops or money. If the bastards really killed Longship Castle, who would be responsible for the debt? Li Qi would never do a loss-making business.

"Then how do you plan to help Longship Castle?" Erin didn't understand. She said she wanted to help, but at the same time she didn't contribute any effort or money.

"First tell me about Wodu Shiba in detail."

I'm worried that I don't have any information about Wodu Eighteen, so someone will send it to me.

If Wodu Shiba is really a rare imperial talent, Li Qi will adopt other tactics. If he is a puppet or a straw bag, he will also think of other tactics.

This is a magical world. Beheading is not difficult for Li Qi. He has no shortage of dead soldiers, the kind who are completely dead.

There are always more solutions than difficulties, and now he is very curious about whether Wodu Eighteen is a hero or a bear.

Erin was very clear about the deeds of Wodu Eighteen and told them one by one.

Li Qi listened to Yilin's story one by one and estimated in his mind: "I hired a painter to make a portrait, skinned a village knight lord, and went to a brothel with his men without paying."

There was no trace of Wodu Eighteen before, just like he popped out from the cracks in the rocks. Generally speaking, this kind of person is either a robber or a farmer's son, an unknown person.

And judging from some of the rumors, this man has a strong bandit temperament. He has attracted a large number of farmers and slaves entirely by relying on "corporate welfare". He talks nice, and when he becomes a baron, he will most likely be the opposite. Oppressing the farmers who followed him.

The worst news is that Wodu Eighteen's soldiers carrying hoes have gathered 20,000 people.

Even a slave with poor physical fitness can defeat the Porcupine Collar.

But it is hard to say how many of the 20,000 people would truly follow Wodu Shiba and work for him.
