Lord of Rot

Chapter 270 This is Corn
Li Qi, who left the study, just walked not far, and met Xiduo Haishui at the intersection.

He was waiting for Li Qi to come over.

"Master Li Qi, it seems that you have finished talking?"

Li Qi nodded, and asked casually: "Yes, what do you think of the Duke's thoughts?"

Xi Duo smiled: "I'm just an illegitimate child, of course I hope my father can get it longer, so that I can live a better life."

This sentence is correct, as long as Duke Yaori is still alive, Xiduo Haishui can enjoy the noble life as an illegitimate child.

If Pine becomes the duke, what awaits Xiduo may not be a good thing.

Son and brother are two different things.

"Do you know what Lord Ross and the others are doing in Iron Valley?" Li Qi asked, "My lord told me to attack Iron Valley, but Lord Ross and the others are also attacking Iron Valley. Should I join Lord Ross's army?"

Xi Duo Hai Hai shook his head and said, "The things you have to deal with are different."

He whispered: "Lord Ross and the others' task is to break through the Iron Wall Castle, take off the head of the Black King, and then hand over the captured castle to you. Your opponent...is not a living person."

Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "Not a living person? A ghost?"

"It's... a corpse that came back from the dead."

"Hiss..." Li Qi looked frightened.

corpse?I have the inheritance of a necromancer, and there is a necromancer beside me, so I am professional in manipulating corpses!

"Just now, the Duke said that if I need any help, I can ask you for help." Li Qi looked at Xiduo Haishui and said, "You will definitely help me, right?"

"Of course." Xi Duo Hai Hai nodded: "I have some news about Tie Gu's resurrected body, and I can give you all of it."

Li Qi shook his head: "Of course the news is very important, but I have no soldiers under my command. I want to borrow money."

"Borrow money?"

Xiduo Haihai looked at Li Qi, and almost couldn't help blurting out: "Didn't you win the game and earn more than 500 gold days? The savings of those little nobles for several generations are not as much as you earn today."

"As you said, what I want to deal with is the dead." Li Qi said, "If I don't give a big reward, how can the soldiers under my hands dare to fight against the dead? And I can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield with bare arms and empty hands Fight monsters."

The great nobles and the nobles in remote areas may not know it, but Xiduo Haishui is very clear that the porcupine brand products are selling like crazy in Donggang City.

And the porcupine soldiers all wear full-coverage Zhajia, is this still poor?There is no baron richer than him!

Xi Duo saw Li Qi's thick skin.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"500 gold days," Li Qi said, "I plan to hire another batch of mercenaries. No matter how much the sacrifice is, we must aim to fulfill the Duke's order!"

The corner of Xiduo Haishui's mouth twitched.

"Father didn't let me support you financially," he said, "I can support you up to 100 gold days."

"That's 100 gold days!" Li Qi agreed without hesitation.

"..." Seeing Li Qi's decisive look, Xi Duo Hai Hai guessed that he was planning to catch a toad to urinate, and responded that Li Qi deserved to be tricked.

"Interest……"

"Don't worry." Li Qi patted him on the shoulder: "I will definitely fulfill the Duke's order, and I will truthfully report your contribution to him later."

Interest?The principal will not be returned!

Baron Li Qi just wanted to take advantage.

Leopold was so rich, he was not short of the 100 gold days. Although the 100 gold days seemed to be Xiduo Haihai's own small coffers, Li Qi took advantage of it so he didn't feel any psychological burden.

After receiving 100 gold days of funding, Li Qi left Roaring Castle with his men.

During this period of time, Li Qi didn't have to go to Iron Valley. He could wait for Ross and others to attack before going there, and he could take over the castle directly along the way and take office.

As for those news and materials, I'm afraid it will take some time before Xiduo Haihai sent people to the porcupine collar.

After leaving Roaring Castle, Hawkwood was already waiting for Li Qi by the roadside.

"It's getting late," Li Qi said, "Master Hawkwood, why don't we stay in Donggang City for one night, rest up and start tomorrow, don't worry, I will help you solve the trouble in the mine."

Hawkwood looked up at the sun hanging high above his head.

It's late?
Haven't had lunch yet!

But he still nodded: "That's right, Mr. Li Qi, you worked hard in the game today, and you really should take a good rest."

Li Qi nodded: "It's still early, why don't we go shopping in Donggang City?"

Hawkwood: "..."

Just now I said it was getting late, but now I say it is still early, don’t make fun of me when I am old!

But after all, he has something to ask for, and after seeing Li Qi's strength, Hawkwood's confidence in Li Qi has doubled. It's just a delay of one day, which is not unacceptable to him.

"Then listen to you, take advantage of the early weather, and go shopping first."

Everyone in East Point City is busy.

Li Qi saw Porcupine brand soaps from some small vendors, they were all uncut and had the Porcupine family crest on them, he nodded very satisfied.

What I want is the effect of this advertisement.

"Lord Li Qi!" A slender figure greeted in the distance.

For a moment, Li Qi thought it was a giant stick insect appearing on the island of High Magic Land.

"Ah, it's Deni." Li Qi let out a long breath, he was really startled just now.

"Lord Li Qi, I didn't expect you to come to Donggang City!" Deni walked over, looked at Hawkwood who was standing with Li Qi, nodded and said hello: "Good day, Lord Hawkwood."

Hawkwood nodded: "Good day."

He knew that Deni didn't come to find him, so he just shut up and didn't speak.

"I want to take a stroll and see the operation mode of Donggang City," Li Qi said, "I want to find something convenient for reference."

Denis said: "I just have time, how about I take the two of you for a walk?"

"that would be great"

It's better to have a local businessman take you around than to go around like a headless chicken.

The pace of life in East Point City is fast.

However, unlike the well-planned porcupine collars, most of them are peddlers hawking, some pushing wheelbarrows, or holding clay pots on their heads, and selling a few words when they meet people.

"I think your market planning is very good," Deni said. "Dividing areas and making it easier for people who want to buy something to find what they want is far better than wandering around like this."

There is a problem with random selling, that is chaos.

And there are often situations where horse-drawn carriages hit people.

"and many more"

Li Qi just walked past a stall, he looked at the little girl sitting by the roadside, and pointed at the merchandise she was selling: "What is this?"

"I don't know." The little girl shook her head, "But you can eat it, and it only costs 2 Bronze Stars."

Deni snorted coldly: "This kind of thing is dry and hard. It's only used to feed chickens and pigs. 2 Bronze Stars each?"

Li Qi looked at Deni: "Do you know what this is?"

"This is a crop that came from across the ocean." Deni nodded, "It's like potatoes. You probably haven't eaten them before, my lord. The taste is not good. The bread made from it hurts the throat and is hard to swallow."

The little girl wanted to refute, but looking at the nobleman, she dared to whisper: "But I can eat enough..."

"Is it hard to buy?" Li Qi asked Denis.

Deni shook his head: "It's not difficult to buy, but not many people know how to grow them. She should have grown them secretly in the barren hills. This kind of thing is easy to feed."

What to grow in the field is up to the lord, and if the plowed field is used to grow vegetables, it will also be whipped.

Li Qi said to the little girl: "I want all of these from your house. I can't give you 2 Bronze Stars, but I can give you 1 Bronze Star for two pounds."

"I want them all?" The little girl opened her eyes wide: "My family has a lot!"

"How many?"

"very many!"

Li Qi smiled: "I want it no matter how much."

The food they disdain is the treasure in Li Qi's eyes.

Because this kind of food is the king of grains and feed on the earth, its name: corn!
