Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

At this time, the housekeeper also came over and said, "My lord! These girls won't reason with us, and I won't reason with them! I asked my brothers to move all the bedding in, what else can they do? Coax me out?"

It's not a problem either.Hai Wen thought about mediating the matter.So he came to the fat nun, gave a salute, and said, "Hey Wen? Ambside, what happened here?"

"What's going on? You robbers! This is trespassing! Property infringement!" the fat black nun shouted, "You people dare to break into the territory of the White Clothes Society like this without knowing the law? Here is The place protected by the law of the Gulf is the public church opened by the earl! If you are messing around like this, I will go to the earl to reason!"

Haven said: "I am the Lord's guest, I just came out of Bear Castle."

The fat nun froze for a moment, then said, "Then you can't take this place by force."

"We're not occupying, we're staying overnight. And since this is the territory of the White Clothes Society, we should obey the management of the White Clothes Society. Laya is from Fengleibao, and she is the highly respected chairman of the White Clothes Society. Don't you know her?"

The fat nun turned her face sideways and said, "I don't know!"

It is impossible for her not to know.Haven thought to himself.What's more, even if Laya is not the chairman of the White Clothes Club, what if we stay overnight?It's a big deal to give you money.

At this time, Haiwen suddenly remembered those little beggars before.He asked, "Who were those children just now? Are they orphans living here?"

Hearing this, the fat nun immediately raised her voice and shouted, "No, they are beggars on the street!"

At this time, Laya came over and said: "But the Baiyi Society should provide shelter for these children. The Baiyi Society in every major city has the function of an orphanage! To take a step back, even if they are not orphans in the society, you should protect them." them, give them alms."

"I don't care! We don't have enough to eat yet." The nun looked confident like a shrew fighting in a market, "Anyway, don't talk about these things, you don't want to live here!"

Haiwen remembered that the White Clothes Society did have the function of an orphanage, and he also remembered that the nobles usually sponsored the White Clothes Society to make it function as a public facility—he probably knew this in his mind.It is estimated that this guy embezzled the money that the Lord sponsored the orphanage. These children should have lived in the orphanage, but now they are all beggars.

This matter must be dealt with—but he decided to let everyone stay first, so he took out a gold coin and gave it to the nun, saying: "A little money is nothing, we are just passing tourists, and we will leave after a few days. The hotel here is either too expensive, or it can't accommodate our group. So, please, my lord nun, give us a place to stay."

There is nothing that cannot be done without gold, the fat nun bit the gold coin, then nodded and said, "Stay for a week at most!"

"it is good!"

After finishing speaking, the nun took the money and left. The butler said very dissatisfied at this time: "My lord, although it is easy to do things with money, you shouldn't give her money for this kind of thing! I just need to scare her." " Hyacinth also said: "Yes, yes! I really hate that person."

Haiwen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, she will spit out the money sooner or later! Not only will she spit it out, but I will also make this immoral nun pay the price." He glanced at the orphans hiding in the dark , sighed, "Laya, go buy something to make porridge, let's give the children something to eat first."

The Legend of Seven Pigeons and Five Righteousnesses Shaking Mountains, Chapter [-].

The Legend of Seven Pigeons and Five Righteousnesses Shaking Mountains, Chapter [-].

As mentioned in the last book, the black dove Lightning wanted to be a big dove and let all the doves serve him.So he provoked a dispute and competed with the pigeons.They competed first in posture, then in strength, and finally in speed.During the speed competition, Lightning was entangled by vines, which attracted the vicious dog Uffin.At the critical moment, the owl-headed pigeon Ye Xiaoxia came to the rescue and saved Lightning's life.From then on, all the pigeons regarded Ye Xiaoxia as a big pigeon.

Later, all the pigeons followed Ye Xiaoxia's bird head.In the future, everyone's life will be ordinary, and there will be nothing to do in Mustang Town, just live like this.However, he did not expect that in autumn, the mayor of Mustang Town, Haven Ambleside, was framed by the dog baron and driven out of the town.Now that the master is gone, the pigeons have no reason to stay.

So, the six pigeons followed Lord Haiwen all the way north.This journey has come and gone in the wind and gone in the rain, and it has been very hard.Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and I crossed the big lake and turned over the mountains.Everyone thought that the future would be smooth sailing, but they didn't expect to encounter a strongman in the end.

This strong man is a bandit, a group of people with green and green smears on their faces, and they rushed out of the woods to kill.This time it was broken, there were more than 100 robbers, but there were less than 50 on Mr. Haiwen's side, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they would definitely suffer a lot in a fight.At this time, the lord witch quickly issued an order, saying: "Gu'er, Gu'er! The big thing is not good, you go to rescue the soldiers!"

Pigeons are righteous Gu'er, and such things cannot be ignored.Ye Xiaoxia asked, "Where are the rescuers?"

The witch said: "There is a beast god in the mountains to the south. Go to him and tell the witch Geralte to ask him for help."

The six pigeons flew into the sky as soon as they were ordered.Ye Xiaoxia has the supernatural power of clairvoyance, and when he took a look, he saw a big tree on the hill to the south.The tree was about seven or eight feet high, the leaves were red, and the trunk was gray, as if it had been splashed with paint.Ye Xiaoxia squinted his eyes and saw that there were doors and windows on the trunk of the tree. It turned out that the big tree was a tree house.

The pigeons cooed a few times and decided to go there to have a look.Ma Ge's second brother, Papalu, took the lead and flew over and shouted, "Beast God, come out quickly! The witch Zhe Lite asked him to help!"

He yelled once and there was no movement, Papalu yelled a few more times, but no one answered; at this time, the big-headed pigeon Lalani flew over and said, "Look at me!" After saying that, he slammed his head against the window, and The bird was so powerful that it knocked open the window.

As soon as the window was opened, the two Ma Pigeons felt a rush of heat coming out of the window, and the Ma Pigeons cried out inwardly, "No!"Then I saw a ball of bright fire flying out of the window, and heard a loud groan.All the pigeons were shocked, only to see a big winged fire bird hovering in the air, it can be said:

Wearing four square flame armor,

Wearing a golden crown with a sky-high treasure.

The footsteps are full of fire and clouds,

The burning eyes are burning hot!

That is the king of birds and the phoenix of fire!

The two little horse pigeons were frightened for a moment, and their feathers stood on end.Fenghuang raised his neck and let out a snarl, it shook the fallen trees in seven directions, and the grasses swayed.

Only Fenghuang said: "You grass-eating birds, why are you so rude? Why don't you kneel when you see this king?"

All the pigeons hurriedly bowed and knelt in the sky, wishing to recognize this Phoenix as their own father.Only Ye Xiaoxia raised his head and chest, staring fiercely at the phoenix.Fenghuang glanced at him sideways and said, "Bold!"

Ye Xiaoxia let out a cold grunt from his nose, and said, "You are a fake phoenix!"

Phoenix was furious, "What?"

Ye Xiaoxia glared at him and said, "People say that the phoenix spreads its wings ninety-nine feet, look at you, it's as big as a chicken!"

Upon hearing this, all the pigeons came back to their senses and thought to themselves: That's right!This phoenix should be a bird as big as a dragon, why is it so small?

Fenghuang's face froze, and he immediately called out: "Wu that little bird, come and see!" After he said that, he spread his wings, and his body suddenly became bigger, as tall as nine feet nine.All the pigeons ran away in fright, but only Ye Xiaoxia saw through the mechanism.He was born with a pair of eagle eyes, able to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil.When he saw that this fire bird was strong on the outside but strong on the inside, it was really a fake.So Ye Xiaoxia yelled loudly and shouted:

"Pretending to be a ghost! Brothers, follow me!"

Saying that, Ye Xiaoxia shot upwards, and scratched the phoenix's wings with one claw.At this time, many feathers were caught. It turned out that although the feathers were on fire, the fire was extinguished just by touching them lightly.When the pigeons saw that Ye Xiaoxia had won with one move, they knew that the Phoenix was probably a fake.The brothers surrounded from all directions, you plucked the feathers and I pecked at the eyes, he tore the arms and she scratched the head, and in a blink of an eye, the phoenix was flying all over the sky, the feathers were scattered, like a rain of fire from the sky.

After fighting back and forth three times, the phoenix couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Okay, I lost, I lost!"

Papalu shouted: "Then quickly invite the Beast God, we have something to do with him!"

Fenghuang begged: "Quickly let go, I am the beast god!"

Hearing this, all the pigeons said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"As soon as the phoenix turned around, it suddenly turned into a snow-white birdman.Lightning yelled angrily: "You birdman! Why are you here to amuse me?" The beast god said: "I just want to amuse you, bird. Who told you to smash the windows of my house? Right, 0032?" A low moan came from the tree house.

Ye Xiaoxia felt that he was rude before, so he stepped forward and clasped his wings and clapped his claws, saying: "I was rude earlier, I hope the beast god will forgive me."

Beast God nodded and said: "What's the matter? I was rude first, but I didn't want you brothers and pigeons to be so powerful, but I'm ashamed-it's important, take me to your master quickly!"

"it is good!"

So the pigeons rushed to the rescue with the beast god, and the beast god summoned all the beasts in the forest to resolve the crisis of Haiwen and his party.Afterwards, the two witches thanked the pigeons and gave a lot of sweet corn, which is another story.

This is exactly: the beast god becomes a legal person to become a phoenix, and brothers can subdue a dragon with one heart!

Chapter 130 Eight: Earl, please come

Chapter 130 Eight: The Earl Pleases

After that, Haven came to the church.The church of the White Clothes Society is very large. In addition to the chapel outside, it also has a three-story building.He walked up the creaking wooden stairs, and as soon as he entered the corridor, he saw Violet running out with a mess of dirty clothes.Seeing him coming, Violet immediately put down the things in her hands and saluted him, saying, "I have seen you, Mrs. Madam is in the innermost room."

"Okay, you are busy with your work, don't worry about me."

"Yes, my lord."

When he entered, Isrit was making the bed, and Mir was sitting on a chair patching his clothes.After making out with the two family members, he talked about having a dinner with the Earl three days later.He asked Estherite to dress up in advance, and then she would go to see the count with him.Estelle was worried about this, she asked: "The Earl will definitely not let us eat in vain, my lord, Xiongshan is facing various problems now, none of which can be easily solved."

"What do you think is the problem facing Bear Mountain?"

"Poor." She said sharply, "There is not much land that can be cultivated in Xiongshan Mountain, and the soil is not fertile, and agricultural production has always been poor; moreover, the mountain roads here are difficult to navigate, and there is only one red shrimp river for waterways. Commerce is destined to be underdeveloped. The Earl of Xiongshan has been relying on the relief of the Golden Sand Castle all these years, and now that the Grand Duke of the Trident is seriously ill, it is estimated that the relief is about to run out."

Haven was very surprised that Estherite could say such words - she was able to see the current problems of Xiongshan clearly after just a few days, her eyes are very poisonous.

"Where did you know that?" he asked.

"I chatted with the people here when I went out to buy things, and Laya also talked to me about some things here." She said with a smile, "The most important thing is that I have read a lot this year. My lord, When I was poor, I didn’t have the mind to study; after following you, my life is rich, so I have more time to study.”

"It's a good habit." Haiwen said, "Go ahead, I'll go and see other people."

"Yes, my lord."

Just as he was about to leave, Estherite stopped him and said, "My lord, Hyacinth is with you... Is he taking good care of you?"

"Huh? Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Ah, I..." She hesitated to speak, "It's okay, I just asked. I'm afraid that she...is not very good at taking care of people. Let you..."

Haiwen walked over and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I'm fine, and Hyacinth is doing fine. You don't have to worry—if you're really worried, you can follow me."

"No." She whispered, "I still have things to do here—if Hyacinth can do it well, then I don't worry about it." After saying this, she turned and went to make the bed sheets, but the sheets had already been made Well, Haven didn't know what she was going to do.Haiwen looked at her back and was silent for a few seconds, then left the room.

It's not right, but I can't tell where the problem is.

Haiwen had no idea for a while, he could only do other things first.After leaving the church, he went to find Smiley Cat and others.According to the plan, Master Mao is looking for a place to open a shop with a small hammer.I heard from the housekeeper that they have a shop with a good location, and they are now negotiating the price.Haiwen searched for the place pointed by the housekeeper, and found Smiley Cat and his party not long after.

Unexpectedly, Lord Cat has already bought the shop.This shop is in the business district on the west side of the outer ring, not far from the church.I heard from Smiley Cat that he borrowed money from the local Ranger Guild.He is a celebrity, and he can be borrowed by swiping his face.Little Hammer and King Kong were already setting up the store, and Ramon—everyone had called him "Ramon" since old Ramon died—Ramon was taking notes on paper.Haiwen suddenly remembered something. He planned to give Ramon a task, saying: "Go and find out how many craftsmen there are in Bear Mountain, carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons... all kinds of craftsmen are needed, and make a list for me."

"Yes, my lord."

If the workshop works well, it should be able to provide a source of income for his team.

Afterwards, Haiwen told everyone that the Earl would be invited three days later, and agreed on a meeting time.After arranging the two groups of people, he returned to the Earl's Castle.He lived in Bear Castle for the next two days, and Master Tang Deen often came to talk to him on the way.Tang De'en seemed to be very interested in his previous affairs, asking all kinds of questions.

Master Tang Deen was also a low-level person who had experienced poverty, so he agreed with Haiwen's thoughts.But on the other hand, he is now considered a half-noble and a member of the system, and he cannot fully accept some of Haiwen's tough practices.Being close to Zhu Zhechi, Haiwen is also willing to chat more with such a master, and he himself can be inspired.So for the next few days, he would drink tea and talk with the master every afternoon, and Hyacinth would also listen to him. Haiwen thought it would be good for her.

At noon on the first day, Haiwen brought people to the castle for a banquet as scheduled.The banquet is held in the castle hall, which is a place that can accommodate 200 people to eat at the same time.There are eight long tables arranged vertically, and a long horizontal table in the middle is for the host and distinguished guests.It was once used by the Earl of Xiongshan to reward soldiers. During the war, Xiongshan people fought bloody battles with northerners.

As the owner of the castle, the count sat down at the table early, waiting for Haven to come; his two sons were in charge of receiving at the door.When Haiwen came, he saw two rows of warriors in bright armor standing at the inner gate of the castle, with a red carpet on the ground, and two people standing at his inner gate.The one on the left is wearing a war robe, tall and burly, with beards on his face, he looks like a warrior; the one next to him is wearing a black and red robe, but he is slender and can't support the big robe. Bending over the wall, with his hands in his sleeves, he looked gloomy.

Haiwen heard Master Tang Deen introduce the two sons of the Earl of Bear Mountain before. The warrior on the left is the eldest son Wenkai Chris. He is the legal heir of the Earl of Bear Mountain and the leader of the Bear Mountain Army. He is responsible for protecting the safety of the west of Bear Mountain. The thin man next to him in a robe is the second son, Lavidia Kress, a young man with extreme thinking. According to Master Tang Deen's evaluation, he is extremely looking for change but can't find the right direction.Now he is one of the members of Vulcan sect.

The two of them received Hai Wen at the door, and it was a great deal of face for him.Haiwen went up to salute, and then said hello to the two: "I have seen you two adults."

"Hello, traveler from Mustang Town." The eldest son, Wenkai Chris, spoke first.He has a loud voice and bright eyes, just like his father.Then he introduced himself and said a few polite words in a stiff tone.Apparently he doesn't always do this, his smile is forced.

Haven shook hands with him, said some irrelevant scenes, and then said hello to another castle master.

The second son, Ravidya, saluted him with clasped palms.The face of this man was like a horse, and the small eyes were full of gloom and sadness.He said: "Born in the fire - I wish you a warm and wonderful life."

This is the customary etiquette of Vulcanism.Haiwen returned the salute and said: "The holy flame will never go out—I wish you a bright and bright life." This is the etiquette he and Tang Deen learned from him.

The man immediately showed joy, and asked, "My lord, are you also a member of the Vulcan Sect?"

Haiwen shook his head and said, "No, but I have dabbled in your affairs."

"That's a pity, but you're always welcome." He nodded.However, Wenkai Chris next to him squinted his eyes, not hiding the disgust on his face.

Count please

Count please

They walked all the way into the hall, and servants arranged for Haven's people to sit at various long tables.There were several servants or diners of the earl sitting at each table, and these people were responsible for entertaining Haven's subordinates.And Haiwen will take his important people to the main seat for dinner.

Tang De'en told him before that it is best to bring three people, and if there are more, it should not exceed five.So Haiwen brought four people, namely his wife Estherite, his confidant butler Dreyer, the famous smiling ranger and the chairman of the White Council, Laya, whom the Earl of Bear Mountain had always wanted to invite.

At the beginning of the meal, everyone didn’t talk about things. It must be the host’s hospitality first, talking about "what specialties do we have here?" .Things on the scene were handled by Haiwen and others, but the people below him just let go.Many of the people who came with Hai Wen were poor peasants. Where have you seen a banquet for nobles?Boiled live fish with scallops, stewed pheasant with mushrooms, marinated lamb face in sauce, chopped roast beef, vanilla sweet pie... all of them were full of oil, and it was a joy.

After eating for about half an hour, they finally got down to business.

"My lord mayor." The count changed his title, "I heard that you did a good job in Mustang Town, why did you get brought down by the Baron?"

Haiwen smiled and said, "This matter, probably because I made too much money for the Baron."

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and Wen Kai, the eldest son of the earl, said, "You guys are really good at joking, don't you think you're making too much money?"

"It's a long story, let me tell a story first." Haiwen drank the local specialty pine oil wine and said, "There was once an old woman who raised a hen at home. Miraculously, it can lay golden eggs, and it lays one every day. The woman is rich by selling golden eggs. But then she always thinks that the chicken lays eggs too slowly, and she thinks: this chicken has a bulging belly, and there are probably some eggs in it. A lot of eggs. So she killed the chicken, and as you can imagine, she only got a plate of chicken."

There is no allusion to killing the chicken and taking the egg in this world, so Hai Wen told this story.After he finished speaking, he said: "The Baron Mustang is the old woman."

At this moment, Wen Kai let out a burst of laughter, "Then you are an old hen! Hahahahaha!" Then everyone around laughed, and Haiwen didn't mind, but said: "My lord's words are not rough, This is the relationship between me and Baron Mustang before. Baron Mustang is short-sighted and cautious, so there is something about Mustang Town."

The count nodded and said, "Croso Dia, Baron Mustang, he should be the vassal of my vassal; I have seen this man, he is indeed a man with no ambitions."

At this time Wen Kai asked again: "Then tell me, Master Hen, how did you lay eggs?" Master Tang De'en next to him scolded him and said, "Wen Kai, you are too rude." Wen Kai smiled disapprovingly. Laughed, and then came over and toasted Haiwen, saying it was an apology.

Haven drank the wine and continued, "It's a simple matter. When I recommended myself to be the mayor, I promised the baron that I would double the tax revenue of Mustang Town within two years. I did it. The bumper harvest a month ago In the first season, the average yield of upland rice in Yema Town was more than [-] catties per mu, and that of rice was [-] catties. This is more than double the previous year’s high.”

Hearing this, the Earl frowned, apparently not believing it.But his two sons directly expressed this suspicion. The eldest son Wen Kai said: "My lord, don't think that I have never planted crops. I am in charge of the thousand acres of land west of Xiongshan Mountain. My soldiers fight the war." We fought wars when we were young, and farmed when we stopped fighting. The upland rice harvest is only more than 100 catties per mu of land, and the rice is dead by [-]. You are making us fools by talking so big."

Before Haiwen could reply, the earl's second son Lavidia also said: "My lord, although I am not a farmer like my brother, I also know that one mu of land is so big and can only grow so many crops. Even God's favor can't squeeze more rice."

Haven didn't want to explain why he was able to increase productivity right away. He just said, "I'm not lying about this. You can send someone to Mustang Land to investigate."

Lavidia said in an indifferent tone: "I have heard the rumors, but the rumors are not credible. The rumors also said that you have grown eight eggs, my lord."

"What?" Haiwen was taken aback.
