Chapter 397 Changes in the Qixing Leader 1

The wide avenue is paved with stone slabs and can accommodate eight four-wheel carriages in parallel.

There are countless caravans passing through the passages on both sides of the road, heading to Qixing City in groups.

"I remember there seems to be a hill over thirty meters high next to here." Weilin pointed to the fertile fields in the northwest and asked Kyle.

"My Lord, I remember correctly. Seven years ago, this place was indeed a hill, and it should have been leveled by Chief Baird." Kyle searched the memory in his mind and replied immediately.

"Good guy, Baird won't turn the area around Qixing City into a plain in the past seven years." Weilin was a little surprised. Within sight, except for the 100-meter hill carrying the old castle, there were In other directions, the low hills are almost invisible.

Its shadow can be seen from here in Qixing City, which is more than 30 kilometers away.

After getting off the red phosphorus horse, Weilin came to the left side of the road and looked at the clear river in the ditch. Then he looked into the distance. It should be coming from the tributary of the Yellowstone River more than a hundred kilometers away. There were fish in it. My son is swimming.

Every hundred meters along this avenue, there is a place to store garbage, which is handled by the nearest farmer.

Weilin squatted down, took off his gloves, and reached out to touch the clear river. Several blue fish came around, surrounding Weilin's hand, and spit out clear water.

The orderly army stood straight on the road. On both sides of the road, whether they were merchants, pedestrians, or adventurers from afar, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to stay on the river. On a young man.

Looking at the fearful crowd, Weilin smiled. Although he looked young on the outside, his real age was older than most of the middle-aged people here.

"It's really surprising. Baird's administrative efficiency is a bit scary."

"My lord, Grand Steward Baird is worthy of this title and has managed the Qixing Territory in an orderly manner." Orlando stood aside, admiring the surrounding scenery, and spoke in admiration.

Extending from the road to both sides, each piece of land has a detailed plan, which piece is planted with food, which piece is planted with jicama, or a fruit forest, which is scattered in an orderly manner.

"In the hands of Baird, the "designer", I can't wait to see the whole picture of Qixing City."

Verin got on his horse and continued forward.

The more than 4,000 troops of the Qixing Battalion lined up six people in a row, marching towards Qixing City.

The crowd in front took the initiative to retreat to the road and make way for the avenue.

The news of the truce between the Kingdom of Ilia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom has spread throughout the kingdom. Even the civilians in the remote mountainous areas know that this war that has lasted for many years is over.

Unknowingly, twenty years have passed.

Thinking back to those days, when he first came here, it was still a wilderness, with monster clans like goblins and kobolds living here everywhere.

The march was not very fast. As he entered his own territory, Weilin wanted to slowly appreciate the changes around him.

Three hours later, we arrived at the gate of Qixing City.

The Qixing City garrison has cleared the road, and Baird led the important personnel of the territory to wait here for a long time.

Standing in front are his guardian knights and their families.

This was followed by the second batch of important talents discovered.

After that, there are capable officials and military officers, very unfamiliar, and Weilin has basically never seen them.

"Lord, welcome back." Baird put his right hand on his chest and bowed his head in salute.

Some qualified elders saluted with the same etiquette, and the crowd after that knelt on one knee and recited the oath of allegiance they had recited to the portrait of Verin.

Hui stepped forward and held the red phosphorus horse, asking Weilin to get off the horse.

Baird looked at the mysterious swordsman in front of him. His strength was almost the same as his own. He was very shocked. He didn't know where his master found him.

"You really gave me a big surprise."

"It's been really hard on you for so many years."

"Lord, this is my honor." Although Baird said this, Weilin saw the melancholy look in his eyes and did not say anything, just smiled.

With so many affairs weighing on him, his strength is still at the high level of silver, which really makes him feel a little guilty.

Then, Verin looked behind Baird and saw three blond children, two boys and one girl, being held by Baird's three wives.

There was no timidity in the eyes of the three children. They looked up boldly, looking at the person their father was loyal to with some curiosity and more admiration.

You don’t need to think about it to know that it must be related to words and deeds.

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

Afterwards, the troops entered the city and were taken to the military camp in the north city by Cassius.

Under the leadership of Baird, Verin went to the manor located in the east city area of ​​Qixing City.

On the lawn in the front hall of the manor, many maids shuttled back and forth, bringing all kinds of exquisite pastries and food to the long table.

Many of these foods seemed novel to Weilin.

After seven years away from home, I seemed to be a little out of touch.

Seeing Weilin's puzzled expression, Baird stepped forward and explained: "My lord, this dish is made from the mountain green mushrooms of the underground world. It has a slightly spicy taste, but it is rich in nutrients. It is cooked with clean water. , you can make a thick soup with any condiments.”

"This dish is called Torris Vegetable Meat. During the fourth expansion period, a mutated plant was discovered in the Gray Mango Wasteland. It contains very high calories inside, which can be equivalent to ordinary meat. It can be made into dry food. Three kilograms can be used. The food required by the apprentice high-level warriors for three days, the charcoal grilling method used here, although it loses a lot of energy, can stimulate the unique aroma of Torris meat."

The two of them sat along the dining table, one telling the story and the other tasting.

Others came to the open space next to them, chatting with each other and recounting their parting feelings.

Cassius looked at his colleagues, each of whom had children, and his steel-hard heart was broken, and he made up his mind to hold on tight.

Fifty-six dishes are placed on the long table, and the raw materials of each dish are produced locally in Qixingling.

Seeing these appetizing dishes, Verin could see the extent of the development of the Star Prayer Leader and the efforts Baird and the others had put into it.

"Give me a rough figure. How much wealth will Qi Xing lead in these seven years?" Weilin pulled up a chair, sat down casually, and asked Baird.

Seeing this, Baird said with some shame: "My lord, the balance is not very large. The total amount of various materials is only about 80 million gold coins. Most of them have been invested in construction."

"Hahaha, there's no need to show such an expression. I don't mean to blame you. In my opinion, it's quite good that you can develop the Qixing Leader to such an extent and still have a profit of about 80 million gold coins. .”
