Chapter 129 Freya's Leisure Time

With the great assistance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Earl Weilun continued his fierce offensive against the southern lords of the Principality of Standing.

In the past few months, Earl Weilun not only completely defeated the four lord alliances that united against him, but also defeated three lords, and acquired a large area of ​​more than tens of thousands of square kilometers.

The current Earl of Wei Lun has become the most powerful lord in the Principality of Standing, bar none.

The Principality of Standing in the north was caught in a war, while the south was also not very peaceful.

Uncle has been accumulating strength for the first few years. Although he has been constantly expanding his territory and strengthening his strength, he has attracted the attention of many people in the south of the Principality of Standing, but compared to Lord Weilun, he has already kept a low profile.

However, since 3785 in the Continental Calendar, Uncle has been uncharacteristically, and has begun to develop vigorously in the south of the Principality of Standing.

In just the first half of the year, Ankelu has more than doubled the area of ​​his territory, and now the total area of ​​his territory has exceeded 10,000 square kilometers.

Although he is not the largest lord in the southern territory of the Principality of Standing, but in terms of strength alone, especially in terms of strength on the battlefield, absolutely no one dares to doubt that he is the most powerful one.

The reason is simple, because he has the full support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After signing the agreement with Lord Weilun, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cut off the supply of military magic machinery to all the lords in the Principality of Standing except Lord Weilun and Anklu.

Without the supply of follow-up ammunition and the provision of maintenance, it is naturally impossible for the military magic machinery to be used for a long time.

At first. Other lords can also rely on their inventory to compete with Lord Weilun and Ankelu. But after a while. After the military magic machines in their hands failed to exert their combat power, the other lords were defeated by the attacks of Lord Weilun and Anklu, and they had no ability to resist at all.

Everyone is very clear in their hearts that the key to determining the outcome of the war between the lords in the Principality of Standing lies in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

To put it more bluntly, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can even completely control the development of the situation in the Principality of Standing.

After realizing this, many people naturally couldn't sit still anyway.

"Know-got-know-got-"

There are many places on the Sainz continent that are completely different from the earth. But there are some similarities.

Summer Ticicada is one of them.

Every summer, when he heard the cicadas that he was very familiar with since he was a child, Xu Yi always felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.

It has been eight years since I came to this world. Although I have already adapted to the life in this world, and married and had children in this world, started a family and started a business, Xu Yi still misses everything on the earth often.

Listening to the sound of cicadas, he seems to have returned to the happy time when he was still on the earth when he was a child. Every summer, he would catch butterflies and catch cicadas all over the mountains and plains with his friends with homemade nets.

Summer is still hot this year. Xu Yi took a break from his busy schedule and took advantage of the shade in the backyard of the manor. Listening to the constant chirping of cicadas above her head, and thinking of the past time on earth, she suddenly became childish and asked Linda to find a thin net and a piece of wire, and then broke off a branch of the right thickness from the tree. Skillfully made a dip net.

"Hey, Freya, dad will take you to catch butterflies and cicadas, okay?" Xu Yixiang asked with a smile to Freya, who was always by his side and stared intently at him making the dipping net.

Freya is over two years old. Although she is still at an ignorant age, she can already run and jump, and she can speak very fluently. Hearing Xu Yi's question, she looked up at the sticky net in Xu Yi's hand. , the childish voice asked back: "Dad, why do you want to catch butterflies and cicadas?"

Xu Yi squatted down with a smile, squeezed Freya's chubby face, and asked, "Freya, do you think butterflies look good?"

"Well, butterflies are the best."

"Well, do you want to get closer and see why the butterfly is so beautiful?" Xu Yi asked again.

"Think, Dad, can you call the butterflies over so I can take a good look at them?"

"Of course. Come, follow Dad, and I'll take you to chat with the butterflies!"

In a normal climate, it would be mid-August, and there would be no trace of butterflies.

However, because the Principality of Standing is located in the south of the mainland, the climate has always been hot, and Xu Yi's private domain is close to the sea, so the air is humid. At this time, there are still countless butterflies fluttering around.

Xu Yi led the elated Freya into the grove next to the manor, and at a glance, he could see several colorful butterflies flying back and forth in the grove.

Freya cheered and rushed over, but the butterflies were flying around in the air in shock. Xu Yi stretched the net into the air and caught several butterflies with ease.

Xu Yi carefully plucked a butterfly and put it in Freya's palm. The magic power in his body flowed and formed a small cyclone near Freya's palm, just pressing the butterfly on Freya's palm. Make it impossible to fly away.

Freya looked surprised, carefully holding the butterfly with both hands, looked around for a while, then suddenly raised her head and asked Xu Yi: "Dad, why doesn't it fly?"

Xu Yi was a little strange: "Don't you want to chat with the butterfly? It's in your hands now, wouldn't it be nice for you to have fun with it for a while?"

Freya shook her head: "But I just like the way it flies. It doesn't look good when it stops like this." Then she looked at the sticky net in Xu Yi's hand, pointed at the butterfly sticking to it and said, "Dad , put them down too, they are so pitiful."

Xu Yi glanced at Freya in surprise, and couldn't help laughing.

Although Freya was only two years old, she was a kind-hearted little girl, and this was precisely what he valued most.

Xu Yi plucked the butterflies one by one according to Freya's instructions, and let them fly again.

Seeing groups of butterflies fluttering in the woods, Freya laughed happily again, and ran back and forth in the woods with small steps. It seems to be full of vitality.

Seeing Freya's happy look. Xu Yi also felt that his whole body and mind became happy.

During this period of time, he was due to various problems in the Black Rice Wasteland and the internal situation of the Principality of Standing. With so much going on, playing with Freya for a while now is simply the best way to unwind.

Just as she was about to take Freya further into the forest, Liz, who had been guarding outside the forest, leaving Xu Yi and Freya a separate space, suddenly rushed over in a hurry.

"Master, a guest is here."

Seeing the slightly nervous look on Lise's face, Xu Yi was a little surprised.

"What kind of guest?"

"It was brought over by the CEO, who said it was an envoy sent by Grand Duke Standing."

"Sent by Grand Duke Standing?" Xu Yi was taken aback. Then he laughed. "That's right, the Grand Duke should not be able to bear it anymore."

After handing Freya to Lise, Xu Yi went straight to the front yard, and saw Kennard and the envoys sent by Grand Duke Standing in the living room.

The three envoys were all Xu Yi's acquaintances.

They are the three ministers under Grand Duke Standing that Xu Yi came into contact with for the first time in the Principality of Standing.

Over the years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invested a total of at least two million gold coins in them, and fed them all. When they saw Xu Yi, they were naturally extremely polite.

After the two sides greeted each other with a smile, Xu Yi asked the purpose of the sudden arrival here.

The three looked at each other, and one of the chubby ministers replied with a smile: "President Xu, no. Viscount Xu, we are here this time. We are here to report a good news to you."

"Good news?" Xu Yi snorted. "What good news?"

The chubby minister laughed and said, "Xu Zijue, in view of the contribution you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have made to the Principality of Standing that cannot be ignored, the Grand Duke has decided to raise your title from viscount to earl. That is to say, starting today , we will call you Earl Xu."

Kennard on the side looked surprised.

He came from a noble family, and he attached great importance to his noble status. He had always been troubled by Xu Yi's low title, because he himself actually had a baron status in the Lampari Kingdom.

If Xu Yi has never had a title, it means that he, the Baron of the Lampari Kingdom, is under the command of a commoner.

Although no one would really treat Xu Yi as an ordinary civilian, but the distinction of identity is placed here, which will somewhat make him feel a little grudge.

Now that Xu Yi has been promoted to an earl, even if this earl status was given by Grand Duke Standing, there is naturally a huge gap compared to the earl of the Lampari Kingdom, but as long as Xu Yi has a suitable noble status, that is enough.

Xu Yi, on the other hand, had a calm face, smiled, and nodded his head in understanding.

The three envoys looked at each other again, and the fat minister took out a blueprint from his pocket and spread it out in front of Xu Yi.

"Xu Hui... No, Viscount Xu... Oh no, Earl Xu, since your title has been promoted, according to the rules, your territory should also be expanded accordingly. After research, the Grand Duke finally decided to transfer this piece of land to Canonize it as your territory, are you satisfied?"

Xu Yi followed the chubby minister's fingers over the extremely low-accuracy map of the Principality of Standing, and after seeing the newly sealed territory of the Principality of Standing, he immediately sneered in his heart.

The territory that Grand Duke Standing conferred on Xu Yi extended downwards from his previous territory of no more than 24 square kilometers. At first glance, it did indeed expand several times.

But if you look carefully, you will find that this new territory belongs to the new territory occupied by Earl Weilun.

If Xu Yi accepted this territory, it would be equivalent to grabbing it from Earl Weilun.

Grand Duke Standing obviously did it on purpose. He did this to destroy the existing cooperative relationship between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Earl of Weilun.

Obviously, Grand Duke Standing has already become afraid of Earl Weilun's strength.

To destroy the cooperative relationship between Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Earl Weilun is to fundamentally defeat Earl Weilun.

This is a very low-level trap, not to mention Xu Yi, Kennard next to him also saw it at a glance, with a sneer on his face.

Based on his understanding of Xu Yi, Xu Yi must not be limited to such a low-level trap.

However, after Xu Yi was silent for a while, he smiled and said, "Thank you Grand Duke for the gift, I want this territory."

Kennard was surprised, but the three messengers were all smiles.

Xu Yi also looked at the three of them with a smile on his face, as if he didn't know the danger inside. (To be continued..)
