Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

It was Devo, the son of the local lord, who ordered the thick logs to be placed in the river to block the way.

Tang Bo's boat has been seen from a long distance. The local people have never seen such an exquisite and mighty boat, so they rushed to report it to the local lord.

At that time, people thought that the nobles from Luma City had come.

The local lord sent his son to let him go over to see the situation. If the other party is really a big nobleman from Luma City, then see if he can make friends with him.If not, then see if there is any oil and water to fish.

Devo was very excited when he saw the boat at the first sight. He waved at the big boat and asked the servants to wave the flag representing their family identity. Who would have thought that the big boat continued to move forward on the river as if he hadn't seen it.

Devo was very angry. His sister was the wife of the eldest son of Princess Sita, and the future wife of Princess Sita.Their De family is also an old-fashioned aristocrat in Sita County. Even the princess wants to give their family some face. Officials and nobles from Luma City, no matter what their status, will definitely come to visit them as long as they pass by their family territory. Even the tax officials are polite when they come to their house.

Who is the owner of this big ship?Why are you so arrogant?

In a fit of anger, Devo ordered people to speed up on land, throwing thick trees into the river to block the boats from moving forward.

As for whether this would offend a great nobleman, Devo had already prepared a reason.

The captain had actually seen people waving flags at them on the shore, but along the way, I don’t know how many people wanted to talk to them, and the lord said that without his order, the ship would not stop all the way. Any shore.

So the captain ignored those who greeted them.

Now that the ship is blocked, the captain's face is calm, but his heart is actually quite nervous.He was not afraid of being blamed by the lord, but worried that he was not skilled enough, and if he forced a breakthrough later, the ship would be damaged.

He was originally a red taro leader, and his family lived by the river, and he lived by punting people across the river and fishing on weekdays.After the lord took over the red taro collar, he recruited people who could build boats, row boats, and have good water skills throughout the territory. Their family members were afraid of doing hard labor, so they didn't dare to recruit at first, but he heard from the people who read the recruitment notice that the rewards were special. Well, I secretly signed up if I was really tempted.

Who would have thought that he was hired just like that.

For the next three years, he continued to study at school, specializing in knowledge of sailing and shipbuilding. Later, the lord discovered that he and a few classmates were more talented in sailing, so he focused on training them to be captains.

At the beginning of this year, after many tests, he became the captain of Bailuling No. [-].

But at that time, Bailuling No. [-] had just been painted and hadn't officially launched into the water, so he could only have a dry drink on the boat, but even so, he was so excited to death.

He had never seen such a big, beautiful, mighty and domineering ship in his life.

He really didn't expect that one day he would be able to drive such a ship and become the captain of this ship.

When Bailuling No. [-] could be launched, he practiced maneuvering the boat back and forth in the river, but that was just practice, this time was the real voyage.

Others are envious of him, but only he knows how much psychological pressure he has.

In actual sailing, there will be many problems that did not appear in the practice, and these need to be solved by him.

For this reason, when the captain learned that the lord sent Tian Min, the captain of the bodyguard, and Lord Gu to the shore to inquire about the situation, the young captain had already begun to measure the wind speed, wind direction, water current speed, and personnel arrangements, thinking about how to survive without any loss. Break through this river.

"Let the birds prepare to launch long hooks and ropes, listen to my order, and drag those logs away from the road. Then send sailors down the river to see if there is any ambush."

The first officer raised his head and said disapprovingly: "Captain, if we can knock those few logs away, it's nothing at all."

The captain glared at him: "Don't ignore any situation. Even if we can easily break away, we must be fully prepared. This time there is no ambush, what about next time? Pass my order and use it as a drill! When sending people into the water, let others Protect those who enter the water, and pay attention to attacks from the shore."

This time the first officer had nothing to say, and quickly stood at attention: "Yes!"

The crew began to prepare nervously from top to bottom, as a wartime exercise.

Tang Bo continued to sit at the desk and draw pictures, occasionally yawning, his calmness was in a mess.

On the shore, Devo saw the big boat stop, and a small boat was lowered and approaching the shore, so he couldn't help smiling proudly.

The manager in the same company was a little worried, fearing that the young master would offend people who could not be offended, but the young master had a bad temper, so he couldn't say much, so he could only think about how to smooth things over later.

Gu Ding brought Tian Min, Bai Mu and other four guards to the shore.

The little giant family basically worked in the planting area of ​​the red taro collar, but Baidou was worried about Tang Bo's safety. After the planting area stabilized, he returned to Tang Bo's side and continued to be a guard.

Now Tian Min is the captain of the bodyguard, and Baidou is the vice-captain.

Bai Dou also brought along his cousin Bai Mu who was better at fighting than him and had a strong defensive power.

The two little giants usually stand beside Tang Bo, which is also a great deterrent to others.

However, Tang Bo seldom took people out to show off his power, so Baidou and Baimu didn't have many opportunities to show their faces.

During this boat trip, Bai Dou also came, but like A Lang and others, he was seasick and was still lying in the cabin and couldn't get up.

Bai Mu's situation is much better than him, Tian Min brought Bai Mu here in order to give himself and the little Gu Jue a boost.

When Devo saw Gu Ding in gorgeous clothes, he didn't pay attention to such a child at first, but when he saw the tall little giant Bai Mu, he was a little scared.

"Who are you? Where are you from?" Devore asked first.

Gu Ding asked arrogantly: "Who are you? Why do you want to block my ship?"

Devo heard that he called himself the lord, and immediately looked carefully at the mark with the family crest on his body.

The family crest on the double moon star is not only a status symbol of the nobles, but also a representation of their name tags and titles.

The family coat of arms is stipulated to consist of the family mark and the family surname.

Most of the family marks are composed of natural objects such as animals, leaves, and flames.

Family surnames are generally written in cursive.

Family mark above, family surname below around family mark.

And how to tell whether the person with the family crest is a nobleman, and what the title is, depends on whether there is a circle of shields around the family crest.

Those with shields are nobles.

The color of the shield's lines and the star and moon mark on the top of the shield indicate the title of nobility.

For example, if Gu Ding is a first-class baron, there will be a crescent moon and three stars on the top of the shield.

Three stars represent first class, two stars represent second class, and one star represents third class.

Two crescents are viscounts, three crescents are earls, four crescents are marquises, and five crescents are dukes.

Above the duke is the king. The king has no moon and stars, but only a crown.

Any aristocratic child should learn to memorize the aristocratic badges of his own country or even other countries from an early age, first to increase his knowledge, second to avoid inadvertently offending others, and third to avoid being fooled.

When Devo saw that Gu Ding was only a first-class baron, he immediately raised his head.

They were earls, earls of the old school.And he is the second son of the De family, the future earl and lord of the rhinoceros lord.His brother was ill, he died hunting a few years ago, and his father had no other choice but him.

Gu Ding's family crest is three trees, this kind of crest is only owned by one noble family in the Principality, that is the Sanshuling Gu family in Santa County.

It's not that Devo looks down on the Gu family, but a small place like Sanshuling, with a total population of no more than [-] at most, how does it compare with their rhinoceros collar, which has a total population of more than [-]?

Moreover, the territory of the Rhinoceros Territory is ten times larger than that of the Three Tree Territory.

No matter the title or family wealth background, the Gu family can't compare with the De family.

But such an ancient family owns a big ship that even their De family does not have. How can Devo not be jealous?

Devo has made up his mind, he must keep this ship, if not, he will also get the manufacturing method of this ship.

"I'm Devo, the son of the earl lord of the Rhinoceros Territory. Are you the leader of the Three Trees in Three Towers County? Have you notified the local lord when you came to my Four Towers County?" " expression.

The steward looked worriedly at the young master, he really wanted to remind the young master, just judging from the boat owned by this pedestrian, this pedestrian is definitely not easy to mess with.It would be unwise to use the same attitude towards civilians as in the past.

But before he opened his mouth, he heard the personal servant next to Devo yelling in a pretentious manner: "Hey, you bunch of out-of-town bumpkins! Don't run around if you don't understand the rules. This river belongs to our lord. You have to pass this river." The river must be approved by our lord. Now, immediately dock the boat and go to see the lord with us!"

The steward simply wanted to gag the mouth of this valet!A guy who has more than enough success to fail!

Another valet didn't want to lose the opportunity to curry favor with the young master by another companion, so he also pressed Gu Ding: "Outsiders who pass through this river must pay taxes to our rhinoceros, and we need to inspect your boats , to see what goods you brought. Then calculate the tax you have to pay based on the quantity and value of the goods you brought. Hurry up and dock the ship, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise we can only leave your ships behind." Devore said with a calm gesture.

Seeing Gu Ding's expression, the steward immediately shouted badly, and hurried to smooth things over: "Everyone must be very tired after coming from a long distance. My master has already prepared a banquet in the castle to welcome all distinguished guests. He specially ordered the young master and me to come and welcome all distinguished guests. Be sure to appreciate it."

When Devo heard the manager's words, he felt upset and gave him a hard look.This steward was originally the elder brother's confidant, and after the elder brother died, his father sent this person to his side.It's very annoying that the manager has to control him for everything!

The steward complained in his heart, but he ignored Devo, still smiling at Gu Ding apologetically.

Gu Ding raised his chin: "If you told me that at the beginning, I would still consider it. But your young master has already said that you want us to pay the road tax. Now how do I know that you invited us over? Didn't you mean to seize my ship on purpose?"

The steward smiled and said: "How could it be? The Three Towers County and my Four Towers County are helping each other. We will not arrest any of our friends' boats. Besides, our lord invited you to tell you a very important thing. "

"what's up?"

"Actually...the front is no longer suitable for traffic. The Baowang River connected to this river broke out and the river course changed. If you just pass by like this, you will probably be brought to land by the low tide flood, and eventually the boat will sink deeply. .There is another very serious problem," the steward paused.

Gu Ding just didn't ask.

The steward had no choice but to continue and said: "There are a large number of victims gathered there, and these victims are all hungry and crazy. I heard that they even eat people. If you pass by like this, and you drive such a big boat, if these victims see it, I am afraid they will pounce on you." Come up and loot, even if you have someone protecting you, it will be difficult to resist thousands of disaster victims."

Gu Ding nodded: "This problem is indeed very serious."

The steward laughed hurriedly: "So if you just come to Sita County to do business, you can ask our lord to do it for you. Our lord will be happy to help you."

Gu Ding suddenly smiled slyly: "Does your lord have any objections to you? With you in charge, why do you still send such an idiot over to make trouble?"

Devo changed color. It was the first time he heard the word brain-dead, but he could hear it as a curse. He was so angry that he immediately cursed: "Who are you calling brain-dead?"

"Don't you think you're not brainless? You didn't even know the identity and strength of this lord. You showed off your strength with me as soon as you came up, and even let your servants yell at me. Who gave you the courage?" Gu Ding sneered.

Devo disdainfully said: "Aren't you the leader of the Three Trees in Santana County? You call yourself the Lord, so could it be that you have inherited your father's title? But even if you inherited your father's title, you are just a small Baron, you are still a child, do you know who my father is?"

Gu Ding hated others to call him a hairy boy, but his face did not change: "I said you are a fool and you still don't admit it, you just shouted that you are the son of the earl and lord of the rhinoceros collar, how long did you call him?" I forgot what I said. If you are not stupid, who is stupid?"

Devo was shaking with anger, "You! You bastard! Fuck me! Catch him!"

The personal servant beside Devo and the guards brought out by him immediately responded and rushed towards Gu Ding and the others together.

"Master, don't be impulsive!" The steward shouted hastily.

No one listened to him, and they rushed one by one even more anxiously, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to make meritorious deeds if they took a step too late.

It's no wonder that these people underestimated Gu Ding, except for the little giant Bai Mu who looked a little scary, the other three guards looked ordinary, and the leading master was a four or five-year-old child.

One of the personal servants wanted to grab Gu Ding to threaten his several guards. When he thought about it, wouldn't such a child be easily captured?

If he can catch this brat and let this brat present the big boat to the young master, then he will have done a lot of credit.

"boom!"

what sound?

Seeing that Devo ordered the arrest, the steward scolded his mother in his heart. He wanted to stop him, but he was alone, and the young master's subordinates didn't listen to him at all. No matter how much he shouted, it was useless.

In the midst of the chaos, an ear-exploding sound suddenly sounded.

The steward's sharp eyes saw that the body of the valet who stretched out his hand to grab the little lord suddenly froze, and then his body fell forward.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There were several ear explosions in succession, and one after another the servants and guards fell down.

The steward's face changed drastically, and he rushed forward to grab Devo and ran to the carriage.

Devo struggled and shouted: "What are you doing, let me go!"

The steward hates it, you idiot!If the young master is still there, why does he bother to serve such a fool who has no winks and no brains and only uses his status to play tricks!

But the young master developed this way with the acquiescence of the elder master and the master, in order to prevent brothers from killing each other.But who would have thought that the young master would die young?

The master has been cultivating the young master since the eldest master passed away, but the young master's temperament has been developed, and the master can't break it back even if he wants to.

Now the master is counting on the young master to give birth to an excellent grandson as soon as possible, so that he can raise this grandson while he still has the energy.

So the young master must not die now, he doesn't have a son yet!

"Hurry up, these people have terrible weapons in their hands, and those who fell down are dead, young master, get into the carriage!" The steward forced Devo into the carriage, and followed him, urging the coachman to leave quickly.

The coachman was frightened and ran away with a whip.

Shiraki and the others held their magic guns, aiming at the fleeing people, ready to shoot at any time.

But Gu Ding didn't make a sound.

Tian Min looked at Gu Ding: "Master Gu, do you want to keep those few?"

Gu Ding pouted, and put the magic gun back into the holster: "No need. Killing a few servants is a lesson. If you kill other people's sons, the lord of the rhinoceros will fight us if he doesn't want to fight us. We They came out to do business and pick people up, so there's no need to cause trouble for yourself."

"But will they cause trouble for us later? That young master doesn't look easy." Tian Min worried.

Gu Ding: "Don't worry, the steward is not a fool, he will explain the matter to their lord clearly. And if he can send such a steward assistant to his son, the lord will not be too stupid. If he is really stupid, we have a reason to fight back .”

Tian Min showed a thoughtful expression.

He thought that both Lord Gu and the lord wanted to take down Four Towers County, but they couldn't attack this side for no reason. Coming here to pick people up was probably just to stimulate the other party and make the other party take the initiative to start a war.Even the lord sailing such a large ship that invites people to spy is to tempt others to do it first.

Shiraki and the others were very excited. There were not many chances for them to touch the magic gun. Although they would use it casually during training, and they would equip it when they went to the rough forest to open up fields to protect the pioneers, but the magic gun only needs to be used. After trying it, there is no one who is not fascinated by it, wishing to wear it every day.

It's a pity that the lord is very strict with the magic gun, and usually puts it away, and only distributes it to everyone when necessary.
