Chapter 3246 Reward and Punishment

"How's it going in the West?" Xiaozhi asked.

"not bad."

Najistan said, "The foreign races in the West are now in a subdued stage, and there are very few battles."

"That's good.

By the way, congratulations on becoming a general. "

"Each other," said Jesse.

Then he paused, turned to Xiaozhi and whispered: "Is what the little emperor said true?"

"What really?"

"Although the question is very subtle, how many of you can tell what he means? Do you want to become a warlord and separatize the South?"

"It's not that serious." Xiaozhi said easily.

"It just makes them develop faster."

Jessica's expression suddenly changed when she heard Xiaozhi say this.

"Freeze said."

Ash interrupted him and said, "I am now the general of the empire."

"I hope so."

"By the way, are you familiar with Esdeath?"

"I'm not very familiar with him, but I know some information about him. What's wrong?"

"I'm a little surprised. Is it because the theory is similar to what he focuses on me?"

Najie Sita received: “I don’t know much about him.

Most of it comes from rumors and hearsay from others that he is fighting against the alien races in the West. Queen Victorias, as some people call her, loves to torture her enemies.

The more the enemy suffered, the happier he was. At the same time, he also allowed his soldiers to burn, kill and loot the enemy's cities.

So it's not a good thing to be targeted by him. "

Xiaozhi said: "Yes, forget it, one is in the north and the other is over there.

It seems like he can't do anything small to me. "

"Are you leaving soon? Will you stay in the Imperial Capital for a few more days?"

“No, this city.

In my opinion, there is nothing worthy of praise, not to mention that the minister is eyeing me. "

"By the way, let me give you another important piece of information. Becoming a legion commander does not guarantee that you will be worry-free. An old friend of mine is a warning."

Xiaozhi said without stopping and continued to move forward. Instead, Jesse stopped.

Not long after, Xiaozhi left the imperial capital with a pair of his own soldiers.

Inside the mansion of Minister Ernesto.

He was holding a glass of wine and shaking it, "Do you need us to take action?"

Four figures emerged from the shadows behind him.

"I don't need it now, but don't worry, it will come in use sometimes."

The following days.

Xiaozhi concentrates on developing the three southern counties.

After the minister met the young emperor, he announced that he would levy an additional tax on the three southern counties.

These taxes were kept in the south by Xiaozhi on the grounds that they had just experienced the war and there was no need to rebuild the people's homelessness.

Ernesto was so angry that he stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.

Since Xiaozhi imposed military control on the three counties, they were all included.

It has been greatly curbed, and the people's living standards are gradually improving. Some people from neighboring countries even secretly come to the south to live together.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. In other counties, due to rampant corruption, the general public suffers.

The more suffering a place is, the easier it is for the seeds of revolution to grow.

The revolutionary army, because of the turbulent situation and the confused court, gained the support of the general public and began to expand outwards.

Naturally, the revolutionary army did not dare to march to the west, because Xiaozhi's military jurisdiction was there, and they could only attack a county called Shuiyuan Town to the east.

On one side, they defended Xiaozhi in the west, fearing that he would attack the base camp during the revolutionary army's expedition.

The revolutionary army's actions were too hasty, but a large number of soldiers were trapped in the quagmire by the Shuiyuan Formation's troops. Xiaozhi naturally had no intention of touching the revolutionary army.

He also wanted to use the name of the revolutionary army to deal with the imperial capital, and he himself had no sympathy for the revolutionary army.

Ernesto seemed not to pay much attention to the revolutionary army, and all his energy was on how to reach out to the three southern counties.

Therefore, this period can also be regarded as a period of peace.

Xiaozhi was able to concentrate on construction within the three counties.

Because the beer has been produced in batches and is unique to the South, it was sold at a high price and the asking price was not low.

Although there is sugar production technology, the sales volume monopolized by the high-ranking nobles in the North is not high, and most of them are sold in the imperial capital.

There is a huge market space within the empire and the profits are also rich.

Because he is the person in charge of the non-guaranteed process of the Southern Legion Enterprise.

Spies only know part of the technology they have, and there is no way to start.

One morning.

>

A sergeant brought a teenager to Xiaozhi's office.

Looking at the young man with a resolute face, Xiaozhi nodded, "Long time no see, Peck."

Hearing Xiaozhi call out his name accurately.

The young man couldn't help but get excited and bowed solemnly to Xiaozhi: "Yes, sir."

"You go down first." Xiaozhi said.

He stood up and faced outside. Seeing this, Sayu, who was sitting at the table next to him and was working, also stood up and followed him.

"Follow me."

He said to the boy.

Peck immediately followed them and continued walking forward, observing independently and still looking curious.

Until Xiaozhi walked into the prison, he was a little confused, but he still followed the two faithfully.

Soon they came to a door. Xiaozhi opened the door and walked in. As soon as Peck entered the room.

A strong smell of blood hit his face. He looked around here, the floor and walls were stained with dried blood.

The colors vary, some have turned black, while others are still a little bright red.

"Sir." He finally couldn't help but ask Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi naturally knew what he was asking.

He said, "Do you still remember our agreement?"

"Yes, sir, you once said that when I was in the Southern Theater Company when I was sixteen, you would teach me how to become stronger."

"That's right." Xiaozhi nodded, raised his finger, and ignited a black flame on it.

"You have two choices now, one is to be planted with this flame by me, if you can survive with his insistence.

You can become one with him and have extraordinary power. If you can't stand it, there will be more blood stains here. "

"By the way, five people before you chose to accept it. Look, the fresher blood on the wall is what they offered, and none of the five people succeeded."

"Second, leave this room immediately and I will enlist you in the Army of the South."

"I choose the first one."

As soon as Xiaozhi finished speaking, Peck immediately answered without any doubt.

"sure?"

"Well, yes." Peck said decisively.

He quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab the kind of flame on Xiaozhi's toilet paper. As soon as he closed the seal on his hand, he felt his palms get cold.

Then, a cold feeling slowly spread from my arms to my whole body. Then the pain hit him, and what he thought of in this pain was the incomparable feeling he had when the aliens came.

The regret of not being able to protect others. *
