The Requiem Festival is a festival popular in imperial culture. It heralds the beginning of the new year and is also the last day of the year. On such a day, the nobles and even the royal family will hold various ancestor worship activities.

Like commoners, they simply pick some wild dead chrysanthemums, weave them into wreaths and put them on the gate, and some hang them under the eaves. On this day, they will wear new clothes and have a good meal with the best food. , I hope that the loved ones who have passed away can see that they are living well.

Under normal circumstances, the day of Requiem Festival is relatively cold, and ordinary civilians would huddle at home to keep warm. However, Green Island is different. In order to fight for the halving of land tax next year, and there is no farm work, they are very active in digging sewers and moving rocks in the new city. bricks or something.

Looking at the construction site in full swing, Liu Peng was very satisfied, but Nomilius and Pleshkin behind him were more surprised. They had the impression that they should hide at home to avoid the cold in winter. After all, there was not much work to do in winter.

These two guys have been staying on Green Island since the red beard left. Nomilius can't help it. Now he is under Liu Peng's command in name and waits for the monsoon season to leave the island with the captain.

And after Preshkin received the fire-breathing boat, because the monsoon had not yet arrived, he could only stay on Green Island. Liu Peng had also agreed that during the monsoon he would be sent to the sphere of influence of the Nord Kingdom. Kim needs it.

"Captain, your government order is very wise. I have never seen such a hard-working civilian." Nomilius sighed sincerely from behind.

Liu Peng was very happy to accept his praise, and said: "Isn't that what being a lord is all about? How could those short-sighted rats think that if they properly distribute some benefits to the common people, it seems that they have lost a lot. In fact, the future Earn more."

Nomilius nodded and praised repeatedly, and Pleshkin also said: "On the contrary, I think the census system created by Mr. Captain is quite good. They rely on census income and don't need anyone to supervise the work. They do it very hard."

"Oh, they are all standing on the shoulders of predecessors." Liu Peng waved his hand.

"Hey, Lady Christine is here." Nomilius said suddenly. Liu Peng turned around and saw a noble woman in a plush cloak getting off a carriage outside the construction site. It was Christine.

When she saw Liu Peng, she smiled, and with the help of the maid, she walked up with her slightly bulging stomach. Liu Peng came down quickly when she saw this.

"It's such a cold day, what are you doing out here, what do you do if you catch a cold?" Today is different from the past, Liu Peng dare not let her take such risks, and coaxed her in a reproachful tone, "Be good, go back quickly, the land here is not fair."

"I'm not as fragile as you think, this is my territory!" Christine climbed up to the high ground, and the new city below had begun to take shape, and the central square was being paved with gravel.

"It's pretty, I can't believe that Mr. Baroque is just a doctor." Christine admired.

Liu Peng nodded and was about to say something when Christine said, "Wait, there is one more thing. The black pirate Jack just came."

"Come?" To be honest, Liu Peng had been waiting for him for a long time, and he was the only one who survived the red beard.

"Well, I handed you a letter, and then I left." As she spoke, Christine took out two letters from her arms.

Liu Peng took the letter and stared: "Didn't you say a letter?"

"Yeah, there is another letter from the Kingdom of Crimanda a few days ago, and the sender is your dear Felina. I was watering the flowers at the time, so I accidentally stuffed it into the bottom of the flower pot. I just want to think about it now." Get up." Christine breathed a sigh of relief when she said this.

"It's really rare that there are still outsiders entering Green Island." Liu Peng forced a smile, and then changed the subject, "How did she know that I was in Green Island?"

Preshkin coughed twice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Captain, although I told Her Highness the Princess, but the news of you joining the Redbeard Pirates has spread all over the West Sea. I don't need to say, they will hear about it sooner or later."

"That's no problem." Liu Peng said helplessly, and then opened the letter from the black pirate.

Christine's voice sounded appropriately: "Why don't you read the letter sent by your dear Highness Fei Lina first, calculate the time, it will take at least a month or two? Don't let her wait in a hurry. "

"Well, Mr. Captain, I remembered that there was still something to do on board, so I left first." Preshkin decided not to intervene in their family affairs.

Seeing Preshkin leave, Nomilius also said, "I'm hungry, so I'm going back to the captain."

After the two left, Liu Peng smiled wryly and shook his head, and opened Fei Lina's letter:
"Respected Captain Liu Peng, Zhan Xinjia, I haven't seen you for several months, and I miss you... (Hundreds of words are omitted)... The day before yesterday, Grand Duke Trionda held a rehearsal and invited the Kingdom of Delga and the Kingdom of Bolivia The navy and the fire-breathing warships frightened them. With the help of those who are willing, Viscount Liu Peng, you have become the fat of these two countries. Please pay attention to your whereabouts. If it is not feasible, you can join the Kingdom of Nord. After the letter, there is a letter of recommendation from me. .”

Meow, Trionda actually told about the flame-breathing boat. It's no good to keep a low profile now. By then, more people will know, so there will be no less power to find him. What's more troublesome is that if How many ships did Mo Sang ask himself to send him?I don't have this money to throw into the water!
It is impossible to join Nord. I have pledged allegiance to Redbeard. If joining Nord is a breach of oath, wouldn't I be punished?

If it can't be solved, I have to discuss it with other people at night. Liu Peng returned this letter to Christine and opened another letter:

"Captain Liu Peng, please buy some of the following medicinal materials. The names of the medicinal materials are below. The monsoon will start ten days after receiving the letter. Please transfer all the medicinal materials to the island of Silgar in the Kingdom of Oran within one month."

It's really concise. He looked at the name of the medicine and didn't recognize many of them. I'm afraid he has to find Baroque.

Liu Peng took the hand of the vinegar jar and walked back. Christine protested: "Wait, I haven't made a patrol yet!"

"Guild patrol, you know how to play ball." Liu Peng said as he stuffed her into the carriage.

Back at the Lord's Mansion, Liu Peng called Baroque back and showed him the medicine list.

"This seems to be a medicinal material for treating Hansen's disease." Baroque put down the letter, and then rubbed his forehead. He saw a lot of patients today.

"What is Hansen's disease?" Liu Peng asked immediately. If you know this thing, you can know what the black pirates want to do.

"It's just that the whole body will be red, swollen and itchy after being infected with this disease, and the skin will swell and even fester later. If one person is infected, the people in the village will not be spared, so they can only be quarantined." Baroque replied.

"Will people die?"

"A lot of people will die!"

Hearing Baroque's answer, Liu Peng nodded, and then confirmed on the map that Silgar Island is an island not far from the main channel. It seems to be one of the military ports of the Kingdom of Oran. I don't know what the black pirates are doing there.
