Sioux City, the thousand-year-old capital, has been somewhat turbulent during this period. The gossip about His Majesty the King's death is the most discussed topic nowadays. I don't know who originally spread the news, but it has been widely circulated in the market. The return of His Highness Sumen yesterday seemed to prove the authenticity of this news from the side. All the undercurrents are related to this seemingly true and false news.
His Royal Highness Sumen has hurried back to the palace since he returned to Su City yesterday and has not come out yet. The citizens of Dongyun Kingdom have great love for their King, the father of His Highness Sumen, Jersey Yahweh. Ze's political position is enlightened. Under his rule, the people's lives are prosperous, and the national power of Dongyun Kingdom is also booming. There are faint signs of overtaking Nanzhou and becoming the most powerful country.
At noon, the news of His Majesty the King's death was finally announced by the royal court, and the whole country fell into mourning. The residents of Sioux City spontaneously hung beryllium flowers to express their condolences to the wise King. Walking on the street, people all have sad looks on their faces, and they all wear a small Beringium flower on their chests.
It's been a hectic day. The old king's death and the new king's accession to the throne are both on this day. This is the tradition of Dongyun Kingdom. There is no suspense about the new king's enthronement. Sumensi Yahweh is the only prince of the previous king. He will lead his people and continue to move forward.
Although they are sad, people are full of confidence in the future of Dongyun Kingdom. His Highness Sumen, no, he should be called His Majesty the King now. No one will question his ability. Whether in the army, in the hearts of ministers, or in the hearts of civilians, his reputation is extremely high.
but. But not everyone is so optimistic, and this sentiment is most serious among ministers. The old king was gentle and kind, but the new king was completely different from the old king. He had been in the army when he was young, and even now, he is still in charge of most of the entire Dongyun Kingdom's army. He is a stern and decisive man, acting vigorously and resolutely, with a very murderous spirit. Moreover, he was so ruthless that every minister who stood in front of him was trembling with fear.
With the accession of Sumensi Yehua to the throne, the trace of turmoil in Sioux City also disappeared. The ancient Sioux City has regained its former prosperity without being greatly affected by the alternation of the old and new kings. It is reported that this was the old king's last wish before his death.
On this seemingly ordinary day. The transition between the old and new dynasties seemed to be completed quietly.
Ye Chong was guided by Baromon and walked on the streets of Su City, behind him. Following him was his only student Christine, and Shaya, the eighth-level skill that nominally belonged to him.
Ever since she witnessed the battle that day, Christine seemed to have suddenly become a different person in Ye Chong, as honest as a good girl. And she. She no longer dared to call herself my mother in front of Ye Zhong, and she spoke respectfully, as if she was a different person. Ye Chong was still a little uncomfortable with it. But after thinking about it, Kristine like this would not cause any trouble, so she felt relieved and didn't say anything.
Christine's silence, Shaya's always serious smile, and Ye Zhong's usual indifference. How could the three of them be so cold when they were together
How many years had it been since Balomon had done a Xiangxun himself? He didn't remember clearly. Was it twenty or thirty years? This time in order to satisfy this distinguished guest. He specially brought along a young attendant, Aman. Originally, he didn't want to come out in person, after all, he was so old, but the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and finally decided to accompany the guest in person.
Perhaps because the majestic old housekeeper was around, Aman was a little cautious at first. Later, after slowly letting go, her words were full of wit and wit, which often made Christine giggle. Her charming demeanor made passers-by's eyes widen. Even Sha Ya, who has always been serious about words and expressions, can't help but smile sometimes. Aman is in his early twenties, strong, out-of-the-box, and eloquent. He grew up in Sioux City. He is very familiar with everything here, so he is most suitable to be a guide.
Ye Zhong discovered a very strange place. There were very few aircraft flying over Su City. After asking, he learned that the entire sky over Su City was a no-fly zone. All aircraft must land and take off from the landing pad in the outer city. If they accidentally fly into the inner city, they are likely to be shot down directly by anti-aircraft fire.
The first thing to do is to settle down, and then Ye Chong can seriously think about the next step. He only has a rough plan in his mind now, and many details need to be carefully considered. Now that Mu Shang is not by his side, no one can help him. Everything needs to be done by himself.
There was nothing uncomfortable about living in Sumenxi Yehua's former palace, but Ye Chong felt that it would be safer to find a place of his own.
Balomon may not be a qualified guide, but among the nobles, his weight is unquestionable. Without him having to ask in person, he could quickly find out the information Ye Chong needed and who had houses and land he wanted to sell.
Barrowmont kept to his duty. He did not ask a question about the purpose of the house, but asked Ye Chong in detail about his requirements for the house and land.
"The information you requested has been clearly understood." Bowing slightly, Baromon said respectfully: "You requested a large area of land and a quiet environment. There are many Zhuangyuan like this near Su City. And now there are a total of 100 people who are planning to change hands. Thirteen companies are selected, and three are finally selected for you to choose from. If you feel that none of them are suitable, please wait for two days, and more detailed information will be sent by then.
The first one is located in the south of Sioux City, built near the river and with beautiful scenery. It belongs to the Earl of Swale, and the price is around 50 million. It's about a hundred kilometers away from Sioux City. The second house is located on the edge of Sioux City. It was built by a sculptor and later purchased by Mr. Beach at a high price. Its architectural style is unique. There are many bidders for it, and the price is around 80 million. "
Baromon glanced at Ye Zhong and saw that he was listening carefully, so he cleared his throat: "The third place is located in the north of Su City, the farthest away from Su City, about three hundred kilometers away. Its area is about the size of the three villages. It is the largest among them. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the price is also the cheapest. You only need to spend 15 million Austrian to own it. And you will also get land ownership of up to 25 square kilometers around Zhuangyuan. "For Ye Chong, the architectural style and scenery are completely meaningless. In the end, he chose the third location, located farthest away from Sioux City. This can also keep him away from Sioux City, a place of trouble.
From the books he knew, it was always described that no matter where the capital was, it was the place with the most troubles. Although his current strength is not weak, he needs to spend time to find a way to fight against others, otherwise, it will be very dangerous.
In the game with Mu Shang, Ye Zhong understood an extremely profound truth. If he didn't take the lead if he didn't have enough strength, the possibility of failure would be very high. Instead of doing this, developing quietly is the truly effective method.
Ye Chong's previous fighting style was very direct. Very single, with his strong personal fighting power and Mu Shang as the backing, he is extremely thrilling every time. But they all managed to escape.
As Ye Zhong's experience continued to enrich, his understanding of combat became deeper and deeper. The most direct change in Ye Zhong's concept was during the time he was leading the fleet. Whether it was the actual situation or the games played by Ye Zhong and Mu Shang, they forced him to change his fighting style. The growth rate is the fastest in battle.
The road is dead. Then change the way. Ye Chong was not a stubborn person. He found that he could solve the problem in another way. The problem is instead easier to solve. This harvest helped him a lot. Whenever he encountered a problem, he would think, is there another way to solve the problem
However, despite his continuous growth, due to his personality, Ye Chong is always very aggressive when solving problems.
After Sumensiyehua received Baromon's report, he immediately smiled. He quickly gave instructions and asked Baromon to help Ye Chong complete the transaction.
It’s not my fault. You hit it yourself. Sumen Xiyehua, who was having a headache about how to control Ye Zhong, wanted to laugh loudly. On the map behind him, near the Zhuangyuan chosen by Ye Zhong, there was an icon of a military camp.
After receiving instructions from Sumensi Yahweh, Baromon became increasingly cautious. He had just reported this matter to His Majesty out of habit. He knew how busy His Majesty was today. He had just ascended the throne, and there were too many things that required him to be worried about, such as the old king's funeral and so on. So when Balomon received the instructions from Sumensi Yahweh, you can imagine the surprise in his heart.
"Do it quickly." Sumensiye's instructions were very simple, but Baromon, who had been with him for decades, realized how seriously His Majesty took this matter.
The same doubt arose in his mind again. Who was this guest that made His Majesty pay so much attention to him
Baromon was very efficient. On the same day, he helped Ye Zhong complete all the procedures for the transaction.
As a client, Ye Zhong's biggest experience is that the housing prices here are much more expensive than those in Yetacheng. Fortunately, the transaction between the two parties also included twenty-five square kilometers of land around Zhuang Yuan.
The owner's very happy expression after the transaction was completed made him feel a little strange.
This is all too unfamiliar to him. In terms of trading, he is not even a rookie. Moreover, the professionalism shown by Balomon made Ye Zhong decide to leave this matter to him.
Now that he has his own place to live, Ye Chong is no longer willing to live in Sumenxi Yehua's house. Taking Christine and Sha Ya, Ye Zhong and the original owner of Zhuang Yuan said goodbye to Baromon, and the group flew towards the newly purchased Zhuang Yuan.
Unable to take Chen out, Ye Zhong had no choice but to take Sha Ya's fighter plane again. Christine has her own fighter plane, but of course, it is much inferior to Sha Ya's fighter plane.
Ye Chong also saw the lifting platform here for the first time. The lift platform is the size of a city. It is divided into many residential areas for take-off and landing. Around it, there are rows of neat warehouses, all used for shooters to store their fighter planes. Every time a shooter goes to a place, he will first hand over his fighter plane to a special storage facility on the landing pad for centralized storage and take it out when needed.
Some wealthy families will even build small lifting platforms on their property.
Soon, Ye Chong found Zhuang Yuan, whom he had just purchased. When he arrived here, he discovered that the area of Zhuangyuan was much larger than he had imagined. It covered an area of about fifteen square kilometers. It was built against the mountains and was quite impressive. Ye Chong originally thought it was a bit expensive. After seeing the environment here, I was very satisfied. If the surrounding land is added, the entire area will reach forty square kilometers, as long as large warships are not built. There's more than enough for anything here.
There is a small landing pad outside the village, which can accommodate a hundred fighter planes taking off and landing. When everyone arrived, all the servants here had come to greet them early.
The two sides completed the handover quickly.
"Do you need them?" Zhuang Yuan's original owner was a businessman. He pointed at the servants and asked Ye Chong respectfully. He didn't dare to be negligent at all because of the other party's age. You must know that the notary of their transaction this time was His Majesty the King's former butler Baromon.
"No need." Ye Zhong shook his head.
Zhuang Yuan's original owner nodded to show his understanding: "I understand." He knew in his heart that with his noble status, how could he look down on his former servant. The more distinguished a person is, the higher their requirements for servants.
Ye Chong had never thought about servants. Here he is. He didn't intend to have any idlers. Soon, these servants were dismissed by Zhuang Yuan's former master. After the former owner left, the huge Zhuangyuan seemed empty and like a dead circle.
Kristen and Shaya looked at each other. They didn't understand what Ye Zhong wanted to do.
Du Feng looked serious, watching the soldiers training in the field, and walked past them. His feet seemed to have been precisely measured, and every step was extremely accurate. And his eyes were so sharp that no soldier dared to look at him. His mental fluctuations cover the entire training ground. This allows him to clearly see if anyone is slacking off.
He is the highest officer of this military camp, but he does not like to stand and look down from the window of his office. Instead, he likes to walk to the training ground. Supervise the soldiers' training under the scorching sun.
Du Feng has a face with a Chinese character. He is usually stern and never gets angry. Almost all the soldiers were in great awe of their stern commander, except for one person, and that was his deputy, Li Jiong.
Li Jiong is an easy-going person, smiling with everyone, and is also amiable to the soldiers. Li Jiong and Du Feng have an excellent relationship. The two of them had been together since they were new recruits. Later, they had gone through countless battles and had always fought side by side. The friendship between the two was far beyond comparison with others.
"Old Du, Lao Du, come here!" Li Jiong waved to Du Feng in the shade of the corner.
Du Feng glanced at the new recruits who were being trained, gave a few instructions to the instructor in charge of training, and then walked towards where Li Jiong was sitting. Li Jiong has not been in good health since his last injury, so the job he is doing now is more like Du Feng's secretary.
Du Feng never had any airs about Li Jiong.
Walking into the shade, Du Feng felt refreshed and unceremoniously sat down next to Li Jiong: "I said Ajiong, why did you run out on such a hot day? Be careful of heat stroke, my brothers and sisters will come again. I'm in trouble."
"Come on, I've been in poor health for the past two years, so you come here to laugh at me. I don't know if someone was beaten so hard by me every day." Li Jiong looked at Du Feng with contempt.
Du Feng laughed a few times: "Look at you, you are so immeasurable, why don't I just say a few words casually." Li Jiong's strength used to be higher than Du Feng's, but after being injured, the straight line began to decline sharply.
Li Jiong pouted toward the training ground and asked, "How are these new recruits?"
As soon as he talked about soldiers, Du Feng became serious, with a worried look on his face: "The quality is not very good. I discovered a very serious problem."
"What's the problem?" Li Jiong asked.
"Although the recruits in this class have all reached level four in spiritual consciousness, their physical fitness is generally poor. Some of them will even faint if they stay in the sun for too long." Du Feng looked grim.
"Well, that's a problem." Li Jiong nodded. This is a common problem among shooters. Sagittarius generally attaches great importance to spiritual exercise, but have no awareness of physical exercise. This is especially obvious in the selection of soldiers. There are no physical requirements, while the spiritual mind needs to reach the fourth level. Physical problems have always existed, and Li Jiong is one of the victims. Because his physical fitness is not very good, his strength declined very quickly after being injured.
"What are you going to do?" Li Jiong asked next.
Du Feng said helplessly: "What else can we do? Let's make these little bastards stronger little by little. But these little bastards have a lot of complaints about this kind of training, hehe."
"These poor guys." Li Jiong glanced sympathetically at the new recruits who were training.
"There's nothing I can do. It's better to sweat more now than to lose your life then." Du Feng said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah." Li Jiong agreed with Du Feng's point of view. Only those soldiers who had participated in actual combat understood that this sentence was the truth. Suddenly thinking of something, Li Jiong complained: "I almost forgot about the real thing because of your nonsense."
"What's the matter?" Du Feng asked curiously.
Li Jiong said: "Don't you know, the owner of Zhuang Yuan down there has changed."
"Changed the owner? Who changed?" Du Feng became interested: "Hey, that guy was probably tortured by us. Now he finally sold Zhuang Yuan. I don't know who the unlucky guy bought it. To be honest, It's not that I'm shabby to them, that place is suitable for building a military camp. What kind of village can we build? But it's still an advantage for us. Fortunately, you came up with the idea to secretly use it as a training ground, which also saved us a lot of expenses. Now there is a change of people, what is the background of the new guy, have you figured it out?"
Li Jiong shook his head: "I haven't figured it out yet, but it is said that there are only three people."
"Three people? Your information is correct, right?" Du Feng said in disbelief: "Don't even think about taking over that place without 10 million. Who can spend 10 million and then come here to suffer? Those nobles, I But it’s very clear, who doesn’t like to enjoy themselves? Taking three people here to drink the northwest wind? It’s too unreliable to spend more than 10 million to drink the northwest wind.”
"I haven't figured it out yet. I always think this thing is weird. I suggest we don't provoke them first. Who knows if they have a background? Is the background strong enough? The guy last time was just a businessman, no shit. Dare to let one go. Let’s figure out the three people this time before talking about it." Li Jiong suggested.
"How can that work?" Du Feng immediately became anxious: "The time for the drill has been arranged. Now we have no fortifications, so where can we go if we don't go there?" Li Jiong and Du Feng have always put the actual combat drills of the troops there. Zhuangyuan, there are more buildings and the environment is more realistic. Several night infiltration and reverse osmosis drills were very effective, which made Du Feng more determined to use it as a drill place.
Zhuang Yuan's former owner was just a businessman, but he was helpless in the face of this group of arrogant and powerful soldiers. Moreover, apart from the inevitable inability to sleep, there was not a shortage of things in the manor, and there were no casualties. The former owner of the manor just swallowed his anger and said nothing.
"Why don't we let the mistress take a look? That guy is one of a kind. No matter who the noble family is, he will look familiar to him. If he really has a background, he will definitely recognize him." Li Jiong thought for a moment and made a suggestion. The mistress Li Jiong mentioned was from a noble family. Because he was fooling around outside all day long, his family was so angry that they sent him through the back door to Du Feng's army.
"Okay! Let's do it like this!" Du Feng agreed on the spot, then strode to the training ground and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ren San, get out of the queue!"
A thin and clever young man came out of the queue. Du Feng brought him to Li Jiong. Li Jiong pulled him to his ear and whispered in his ear. Ren San kept nodding his head to show that he understood, and his two little eyes rolled around.
A moment later, he ran out of the military camp in the envious eyes of his comrades at the training ground.
