Chapter 584： knight sisters

In the outskirts of Tiegebao, there is a small farming village.

"Lord, please do it, the villain's old wife is terminally ill, so just point to this little food to continue her life!"

Under a tattered roof, a thin old farmer with white hair and tattered linen fell to his knees, hoarse.

I saw that he used a pair of dry arms to tightly hug the thigh of a fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe in front of him.

Weeping incessantly: "Look at the villain's two sons, who both died of illness for the sake of building the castle for the city lord, so let the villain leave this stutter..."

"Go away, you bitch!"

On the other side, the fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe kicked the hunched old peasant in front of him under the fence with a look of disgust, and snorted coldly, "If you dare to be in this place again, When you cry in front of your lord, I will burn your kennel directly!"

Speaking of which, the fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe commanded two soldiers with fierce faces beside him to carry away the two bags of wheat that had just been found from the old farmer's house, while jokingly said: "Old man, blame it. Blame your two stupid sons for not being tossed about."

After all, the fat middle-aged man in a beautiful brocade robe, surrounded by a group of soldiers, sneered and walked towards the gate of the courtyard surrounded by broken fences.

However, just after the fat man walked a few steps, the old peasant who still didn't give up and his tattered clothes were covered with mud struggled to get up from under the fence, resisting the pain on his body and staggering to block the fat man again. in front of.

Due to the threat from the other party just now, this time, the old farmer, who was almost unsteady, did not speak, but kept his face firmly motionless, staring at the bag of wheat on the shoulders of the soldier beside him, apparently in a silent struggle. .

For a time, the dry and thin old farmer who was alone, and the fat middle-aged man and the tall and strong soldiers in front of him undoubtedly formed a sharp contrast, which made people feel a sense of sigh.

"The bastard, actually stands in front of my lord again!"

I saw the fat man's face sank, and a flaming fireball instantly suspended above his fat hand. In an instant, the flames rose, reflecting a hideous face.

But just when the fat middle-aged man was about to kill him, not far away, a pair of thin young women who had just returned from picking wild vegetables caught his attention.

"Old man, are those two your daughters?"

After extinguishing the fireball in his palm, a wretched look appeared on the face of the fat middle-aged man: "It happens that there are two maids missing in this man's mansion, and you want food, then the matter is very simple. , as long as you hand your daughter into my hands, and the food will be returned to you immediately."

Licking his chapped lips, the fat middle-aged man added: "In this way, you get food, and I get a maid. There is nothing better than this!"

After all, the fat middle-aged man didn't wait for the old peasant to answer, he excitedly ordered two tall soldiers to step forward, and in the blink of an eye, he tightly bound the pair of thin young women who were confused.

"Father...Father!"

In an instant, the grass basket full of wild vegetables fell to the ground, and the two young women screamed in horror and despair, constantly stimulating the old farmer's eardrums.

Seeing that the other party actually wanted to kidnap his only remaining pair of daughters, the old peasant's turbid eyes immediately turned red, and the old face that was originally begging also instantly froze on the spot.

I saw his old feet wrapped in old straw sandals, slowly and secretly exerting force, causing the soil on the heels to start to move slightly, obviously preparing to use this withered body of the wind and candle to fight the opponent to the death.

There is no doubt that even if there is no possibility of winning, the old farmer will desperately gnaw at each other's meat.

On the opposite side, all of this was naturally seen clearly by the middle-aged fat man. He is a second-order peak powerhouse, enough to easily kill this old guy who doesn't even have an energy vortex.

"You don't eat and drink for toast, since you want to die so much, then the adults will fulfill you!"

The fire magic energy particles in the air were trembling, just when the murderous aura on the middle-aged fat man's face became extremely intense.

With a gust of wind passing by, two slender and slender female figures suddenly flashed in front of everyone present.

I saw that both of them were dressed in a light blue knight's casual clothes, with a knight's sword around their waists, and even the neatly curled long hair on the top of their heads was exactly the same.

It's just that the taller female knight's pretty face is embellished with a little charm, and the cold and glamorous temperament exudes from her body, which gives people a sense of inaccessibility, quite like a royal sister.

The other female knight, who was a little shorter in stature, blinked agile star eyes, which vaguely revealed a willful and arrogant temperament of a noble lady.

Needless to say, these two are the leader of the Blue Rose Knights, Tina, and her younger sister, Tia.

"Lord Jim, stop as it suits you."

Glancing at the fat middle-aged man coldly, Tina Dai frowned and said, "Your Excellency is just a grain collector under the Marquis. It seems that you have no power to deal with the free farmers in the Marquis's territory at will, right?"

"Who am I to be so blind, it turns out to be my dear Captain Tina... my lord."

Angrily dispelling the deadly fireball in his hand, the fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe first glanced up and down Tina's uneven body without any scruples.

Afterwards, he snorted disdainfully: "I'm just a grain collector under the Marquis, but you are just a watchdog raised by the Marquis. If there is no charity from the Marquis, I'm afraid you so-called The Knights, have long since disbanded and disappeared?"

"A watchdog in need of help actually jumps out to take care of people's business. It's really rare these days."

After all, the middle-aged fat man known as Lord Jim with a big belly laughed out loud with the soldiers around him.

"Jim, don't bully people too much, you bastard!"

Without waiting for Tina to reply, Tia stepped forward, put her hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "As far as I know, the free farmers in this village have already completed the fields under the direct control of the Marquis and paid the full amount on time. You have collected grain, and what you are levying now is the grain that the free farmers share on the ground, right?"

"So what?"

With a sneer, Lord Jim's chubby face full of flesh and blood was full of indifference.

He went on to sophistry: "The directly owned fields are the territory of the Lord Marquis. Could it be that the land allocated by these lowly slaves is not the Lord Marquis's territory? Is there anything to be questioned about?"

"You are completely arrogant!"

I saw Tia's little face with a look of anger, and said **** for tat: "From the moment when His Majesty the Hero King established the Cold Flame Kingdom, the first kingdom law promulgated was to abolish serfs and guarantee free farmers. Power, don't you understand this?"

"I don't know any kingdom laws."

Still raising his eyebrows nonchalantly, Lord Jim's chubby face said with a look of surprise: "Dear Captain, sister, don't you know that the Marquis has the judicial power over this land? Really? A small, brainless lady."

After that, Lord Jim cast a distasteful glance at Tia's flat chest, and laughed loudly with the surrounding soldiers again.

"You are a dog-like ruffian..."

Hearing this, Tia, who was furious, was about to draw her sword, but was stopped by Tina beside her.

"The other party is the loyal dogleg of the Marquis, and it is not appropriate to conflict with him."

First he whispered to Tia in his ear, Tina took a step forward and said loudly: "Lord Jim, even the local judicial power cannot override the laws of the kingdom, this point, presumably Your Excellency should be better than anyone else. clear."

After a pause, Tiya raised her eyebrows slightly, and continued: "Once this matter reaches the Tiegebao Inquisition, after it spreads out, I am afraid it will only ruin the reputation of the Marquis, presumably, this is also what Your Excellency does not want to see. Bar?"

"Hey, if you just talk about it, the head of the regiment is really unmatched."

With a disdainful snort again, Lord Jim waved his hand to signal the soldiers to put down the food and the two young women, and slowly crouched in front of the old farmer, with a fierce face: "Old man, this time it's your fate, Ben. Lord, see if you will have such good luck next time."

"Your two daughters will be in the hands of my lord sooner or later."

Having said that, Lord Jim looked wretchedly at the two thin young women who had just been let go. Then he laughed loudly and left the courtyard with his soldiers.

"The villain is grateful to Lord Tina, and the villain thanks Lord Tia!"

Seeing Lord Jim leave, the old peasant immediately relaxed. He immediately pulled his daughters and knelt down in front of Tina and Tia, sobbing: "If the two of them don't come forward, I'm afraid the villain will The family is ruined..."

"No need to be polite, old man."

Looking at the unbearable scene in front of him, Tina first brought Tia and quickly lifted the three of them up, and then said: "As a knight, it is our duty to protect the free farmers on this land. "

Having said that, Tina shook her head helplessly.

Although as early as the beginning of Leng Yan's establishment, His Majesty the Hero King abolished the serf system, making all the people of Leng Yan become free farmers with unfettered actions.

However, since the ownership of the land is still firmly in the hands of the nobles in various places, it is still up to the noble city lords of the various places whether the citizens of various places are truly unconstrained or not.

But even so, in the first three hundred years, the land of Leng Yan was peaceful, and there were almost no traditional nobles who violated the laws promulgated by His Majesty the Hero King.

In the past three hundred years, due to the wars around the kingdom, many new nobles who have accumulated military exploits and entered the territory began to rise slowly without knowing it.

Most of these ancestors were originally new nobles who were free farmers. After obtaining the judicial power granted by the royal family, they began to become more and more unscrupulous in their own fiefs.

They have covered the sky with their big hands, covering these free farmers whose status was originally the same as their ancestors.

No one would have imagined that the many cruel methods used by the new nobles of these kingdoms in the fiefs would make many traditional nobles feel inferior... The Tiege Castle where they are located is the most typical representative of them.

Not following the rules is the main source of the conflict between the new aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy.

Due to the rapid rise of new nobles, many traditional nobles felt threatened and began to chase after them desperately.

Under the circumstance that interests and powers overlap, between the old and new nobles, small-scale wars on the surface, or secret intrigues, began to be staged one after another.

For hundreds of years, events such as marriages, rebellions, assassinations, and even annihilations have been common in Leng Yan. While many noble families have grown stronger, they have naturally also caused many noble families to gradually decline.

As the Leng Yan royal family, which is the highest power center of Leng Yan, most of the kings turn a blind eye to this noble war where the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh.

It was not until the coronation of the nineteenth generation of the Cold Flame King, known as the King of Steel Arms, that the situation began to ease.

And this heroic cold flame king is the old kingdom where the hero is in his twilight years and is currently in a coma.

Thinking of this, Tinadai lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly.

Having said that, the reason why the Lord Jim just now acted so recklessly in the village was naturally due to the instigation of the Lord Marquis, the city lord of Tiege Castle.

This is also the reason why she was afraid and did not directly teach the other party.

Because behind the other party, stands the absolute ruler here, Lord Marquis.

As a radical figure who is loyal to the second prince and the new noble of Leng Yan, the Marquis has done a lot of contemptible things.

And the most important reason why such a vicious nobleman has always been willing to contribute to the Blue Rose Knights is that he wants to use the Blue Rose Knights to restore some of his reputation.

As for Tina, who has never colluded with the other party, why she chose to stay on this land also has her difficulties.

On the one hand, in order to help the people on this land as much as possible like just now,

On the other hand, it is because their roots are here...

"Sister... Captain, what should we do?"

After sending the old farmer and his two daughters back to the broken wooden house, Tia, who walked out again, frowned and said, "It won't be long, those hateful guys will definitely come back!"

"I can help a little bit."

Shaking her head helplessly, Tina looked at the shabby and desolate environment around her and sighed softly, "With our strength, we can only do this."

"Sister, do you think there will be a big man who will change this place?"

As the stars twinkled, Tia's pretty face was full of anticipation.
