Genius Demon Empress Chapter 13: Public Outrage

"Please also my wife and a few guests to go back, Fontaine County is now unable to entertain foreign guests," Nan Muyu snorted coldly, not even looking at Yue Jinghua and the others.

"Presumptuous, Nan Muyu, you, as the former deputy captain of the county guard, a soldier in the Duke's Mansion, dare to chase guests after seeing your wife and young masters," Hong Ling was not used to this person's rudeness. He rushed forward and questioned the middle-aged man.

"The salary of the king was ordered by the king. I am now just a mountain hunter. A few years ago, I took the salary of the mansion and naturally I had to take orders from the mansion. Now I don't pay for food and my parents, wives and children. Being killed in a beast attack, taking the sky as the father and the earth as the mother, where is the presumptuous at all," Nan Muyu glared, like a tiger in the mountains, shuddering.

"Nanzi, don't talk like that. Since the Duchess is here, it is naturally welcome, but only a few distinguished guests. Fontaine County is now forced to greet each other internally and externally. If the greeting is not good, please forgive me, Madam and everyone," From the crowd The famous old man walked out of the village, who was the village head of the village in this area.

The lord's mansion of Fontaine County was crushed in an avalanche long ago, and everyone had nowhere to stay, so they could only draw the carriage in and temporarily use it as a resting place.

On the day they settled down, everyone found that, except for the village chief and Erwang, most of the villagers were hostile to them. Among them, the former commander of the county guard named Nan Muyu was the most obvious.

Tengwu started talking with him while the village chief came with a few pockets of corn.

"Don’t blame Nanzi, he is also a hard-working man. For the safety of Fontaine County, Hong Guan signed a poll tax agreement with Bailu County a while ago. His parents, wife and children were arrested by Bailu County at that time. It’s unclear until now,” the village chief sighed, explaining Nan Muyu’s bad attitude, and then put down the pockets of corn.

In the village, there are not a few people who have encountered like Nanmuyu. They all resent. The people in the Duke's Mansion have signed a poll tax agreement with others. That's why they hate Yue Jinghua and others like this.

In order to avoid the poll tax in Bailu County, the people of Fontaine County either migrated or hid in the mountains and forests. Today there are more than 1,000 people still living in the village, of whom only a few are young and middle-aged. ten people. Nan Muyu stayed because of the old, weak, and widows in the village who were left unattended.

This winter came early this year and lasted a long time. When the winter passed, the village would starve to death and freeze to death.

"What's the matter with the mysterious formation at the entrance of the village? I look like it is a defensive formation? And where is the red steward?" After Yue Jinghua entered the village, she found the mysterious formation at the entrance of the village. , Depending on the structure of the profound formation, it should be an intermediate-level profound formation, and it is also a comprehensive profound formation, which can not only play a defensive role, but also resist the cold.

"Hong Guanshi is a good person, and he set up the profound formation. He has always been at odds with the people in the village. Half a month ago, the village was covered by heavy snow and there was really no more food left in the village, so he took a few people with him. I went down the mountain to Bailu County to borrow food. It has been half a month, and there has been no news. The people in the village said that he could not stand the hardship and went back to the emperor." The village chief sullied his voice, Hong Ling was listening, biting After gritting his teeth, he took the corn to the side and started cooking in silence.

Everyone started from Shangguo, and when they arrived in Fontaine County, the dry food and fresh water were already used up. Hongling took the corn and had to wash the rice and put it in the pot, looking at the dry and flat bags of grain. It is hard to guess that the food in Fontaine County is really pitiful.

Seeing that Hong Ling had taken the water from the well and was about to clean it, Er Wang came out like a puppy, "Sister Ling, I didn't buy rice like that."

Erwang quickly picked up a bucket and soaked all the water in the rice bag without washing it, just watched eagerly.

After a while, a dense field of small insects emerged. After all the insects were skimmed away, Erwang picked up the rice.

Yunluo, who was watching by the side, showed a **** of it, "I still eat this kind of rice. I won't eat it, nor will I eat it when I starve to death."

Er Wang was startled, and looked at the corn in his hand. This is already all the corn in Fontaine County, and they can't even eat this kind of corn on weekdays.

"Yunluo, put away your young lady's temper," Yue Jinghua frowned.

Yunluo stomped her feet without speaking, and climbed directly into the carriage, ignoring everyone.

"Everyone will be one night tonight. Tomorrow Hongyao and Hongling will drive down the mountain to Bailu County to buy rice and clothing. Mother, you and Yuechen will take a walk in the village and learn more about the county. As for the situation, as for Tengwu and Salman, accompany me to walk around the periphery of Fontaine County. I would like to see the defense situation in this area."

Yue Jinghua is not picky, she doesn't have high requirements for food, she can only satisfy her hunger.

There was nothing to do all night. When I woke up in the morning, everyone followed Yue Jinghua's arrangement and went down the mountain to work separately.

After the whole day, Hongling and Hongyao took a cart of rice grains and cotton clothes up the mountain and distributed them to the villagers. In addition, during the day, the villagers had a slightly better attitude towards them. After a while, only Nan Muyu still looks hostile~IndoMTL.com~ is not willing to come to receive winter clothes and rice.

Hongyao was also very mindful. When she was purchasing in Bailu County, she also inquired, and the group who put it back quietly did not hear from it. It seems that Viscount Moore didn't mean to send troops to invade Fontaine County again.

"Not in a hurry, I am a viscount anyway. I must be cautious in doing things. I am afraid that someone has already been sent to the Owa Imperial Capital to listen to the news. As long as he finds out that the eldest brother is still in the Imperial Capital, he will definitely send someone to make trouble," Yue Jing Hua didn't rush, she didn't have enough Danxuan Card to pay off the debt of the Duke's Mansion, but it was more than enough to rebuild a village with thousands of people.

She has already inquired that in a month, the snow line on the ridge will melt and the village will be rebuilt.

"It is not difficult to rebuild. The problem is how to resist the mysterious beasts in the mountains. I heard from the villagers that groups of mysterious beasts appear here from time to time. Even if the village is built, another one must be built to withstand the mysterious beasts. The city wall," this is what Yue Jinghua really worries about.

"When I visited the frontier fortress of the imperial fortress, where I saw the black stone craftsmanship, that is, the eternal profound formation was engraved on each wall stone. In this way, even if there are groups of profound beasts attacking, It can also play a defensive role," Tengwu groaned and made a suggestion.

"The production cost of profound stone is very high. The cornerstone is long rock. Then, to make the rock into profound stone, at least an intermediate or above formation master is required to make it. It takes time and effort. We don't have this manpower and material resources," Yue Jinghua He immediately denied his plan.

"Either the reorganization of the county guards, day and night patrols can also play a deterrent effect, but no one wants to station in Fontaine County now," Hong Ling muttered.

When everyone hesitated, Lierou walked in, her face scorched, "Who of you saw Miss Yun and Miss Ye? They both disappeared."
