European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 102 Remaining life after catastrophe
"It's all...you?" Li Peijun's face was full of astonishment. According to his previous impression, Catherine was at best a knight with half a bucket of water, and she knew nothing about archery.

I wanted to ask for proof, but seeing the three Bernards dodging their eyes in embarrassment, Li Peijun already had an answer in his heart without opening his mouth.

These are really from the hands of Catherine.

"Bernard, I hope you're acting out today because you're drunk."

"Cohen, Tiddell, are you two unable to hold your bow steadily because of cramp in your hands when you play dice at night?"

Li Peijun still didn't give up, and began to ask the reason again.

"Bruno, in fact, I didn't drink yesterday, and I'm full of energy today. I'm really not as good as others."

Cohen and Tidel also nodded, agreeing with Bernard's view, but also said that they did not carry out any recreational activities yesterday, and their energy and physical strength were overflowing.

After hearing this and returning, Li Peijun's eyes almost popped out of his head. He quietly leaned over and asked Catherine in a low voice, "Why did your archery skills suddenly improve by leaps and bounds? Who did you learn it from?"

Catherine turned her head arrogantly, pretending to be indifferent.

"Please, tell me if it's okay." Li Peijun, who was full of curiosity, lowered his figure and asked nicely.

"During the two days when you went to Honfleur, I hurriedly went to the manor to find Kesar to teach me. For this reason, I specially rewarded him with the hares I hunted." Catherine spread her hands and told the whole story. .

"Two days? It took only two days to reach this level. You are really talented." Li Peijun couldn't help but wondered after hearing this.

"Actually, I didn't teach much. I just briefly talked about a few skills, such as slightly raising the shooting angle when the range is not enough, and paying attention to changes in the wind direction when aiming at the target. Just master the essentials. "

On the contrary, Catherine became humble, and began to carefully pass on her experience, and Li Peijun was also fascinated by it.

"It seems that you, young lady, are quite good at summarizing. I don't know if you can learn other things so quickly."

"I don't know, I'll try it when the time comes." Catherine covered her mouth and snickered.

After returning to Haveleur City, Li Peijun's heart was finally a little more at ease. After all, this was on his own land, so he naturally became more courageous.

Stepping into the door of the monastery, it was the flustered Father Marcel who bumped into him head-on.

"Father Marcel, God doesn't like impatient believers." Li Peijun joked.

"Your lord, you can be considered to be back. A major event happened not long ago." Marcel didn't care about the muddy robes, and directly grabbed Li Peijun's cuffs.

Not long after the four of Catherine left the monastery, a group of twenty or so people of unknown origin broke into the monastery. They held long guns and rushed towards the lord's residence with a clear purpose.

The priest who was still praying in the prayer room was taken aback by the sight in front of him, and exclaimed that a group of hell bugs had broken into the residence of God. After searching around to no avail, those people looted some property and left it behind. The next mess.

"Fortunately, they did not get involved in the prayer room. It is a place for dialogue with the gods. If the Almighty Lord really knows all this, these villains will definitely be punished by the endless fire."

The priest couldn't help beating his chest and feet as he spoke, and prayed silently in his heart, "Great Lord, please forgive my sins", "Almighty Lord, please punish those ignorant guys".

"It seems that the city is not safe now." Li Peijun came to such a conclusion after looking around the messy scene.

Li Peijun first comforted the priest, telling him that God would soon send a righteous army to subdue these outlaws, and then wrote a letter to Werther, the lord of Honfleur.

"I really didn't expect it to be me who was bleeding this time." Li Peijun smiled wryly.

The original plan was to wait for his strength to grow and then deal with the nobles in the fief together. However, the current situation was urgent and his strength was still too weak, so he had to sacrifice part of his interests to mobilize reinforcements.

The relationship of surrender is illusory. In the face of reality, strength is the last word.

"Okay, everything is ready. I expect to receive a reply tomorrow after sending out this letter. Let's go to the fief to take refuge first." Li Peijun sealed the written leather roll and continued with the next step. .

"Escape? Why didn't you do it with them?"

Tiedle, a big bastard, still wants to use his fists to solve the problem, and in fact he also uses his fists to solve the problem, but not in such a stupid way.

"I don't know the exact number of enemies; I don't know where the enemies are and what they are; I don't know what the enemy's next move is; I don't know anything. What is the difference between staying here and waiting to die."

"The armed forces in the fief are also easier to organize. When the enemy really wants to fight over at that time, it won't be too late to roll up their sleeves and fight with them. That's the decision."

Time did not allow Li Peijun to engage in democratic voting, so he simply acted as a dictator and decided on this plan directly.

Father Marcel, who had lingering fears, actually thought of hiding in the fief with Li Peijun. Li Peijun comforted him for a long time, and finally stayed in the monastery even coaxed and deceived.

Not long after they settled down in the monastery, they didn't even have a little repair, and they were driven to the fief like ducks on the shelves.

"My lord, I'm here, I'm too far away to welcome you." Weiner happened to be wandering near the entrance of the village at the moment, and when he saw this, he ran forward in small steps.

Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Li Peijun didn't feel comfortable ignoring him directly, so he had to return a rough courtesy, and then hurriedly drove his horse to the street.

"My lord, are you here to inspect again? I can tell you about the situation in the past few days. The breeding work of the breeding pigs has been carried out smoothly. Birmingham has found a better silkworm raising plan. The widow Elemi in the manor I also found my home again yesterday.”

Weiner caught up with him again and again, counting all the big and small things that happened in the manor. He even went through the private lives of the residents.

"Well, sort of." Li Peijun was also embarrassed to say that he was forced to run here to take refuge temporarily, so he just found an excuse to fool him.

"Let the citizens temporarily leave their work at hand and call everyone here. I have something to announce."

The iron hooves were suspended in mid-air, and everyone was now parked on the spacious road in the center of the manor. The ignorant citizens gathered in the open space one after another, waiting for the lord to speak.

"Dear citizens, thank you for your contribution to the construction of the fief." This opening remark is not at all what the nobles should have at that time, and the wording is full of respect and humility.

"I decided that this month's tax burden will be collectively reduced by 30%."

The crowd cheered and praised the Lord Lord's merits one after another. Li Peijun established his decent image by this.

"However, the safety of the territory also requires everyone's joint protection. Recently, a group of hostile forces have been eyeing this place. They plundered and plundered, and they extorted money. If they occupy this land, you will be enslaved and exploited, and you will return to your previous life. state."

Li Peijun performed impromptu, expounding the seriousness of the current situation with all his voice.

"Support Lord Lord."

"Down with the invaders."

"Fight to defend the land."

The rhythm of the audience was one after another, and Li Peijun gathered all the hearts of the leaders through simple means.

The next thing is much easier to handle. Except for the necessary labor force, the rest of the labor force is arranged to take turns around the manor to perform security duties. The production of simple weapons is also in full swing.

Li Peijun planned to wait for work with ease, waiting for the enemy to turn from darkness to light.In less than two days, when news came from Honfleur, he could turn passive into active and annihilate the reactionary forces in one fell swoop.
