Chapter 391: The Shame Starts From the Road Sign
Roland finally left the government affairs hall in disgrace. Yun Feng was still angry, so he stopped provoking him, so that he wouldn't look at him with that glaring look...
"Being driven back?" Nyx was watering flowers under the service of the maids. When he saw Roland coming in with a disgraced look, he knew that this guy must have been scolded by Yun Feng.
"Isn't it just squeezing the labor force?" Roland muttered in a low voice. I knew I was wrong, but I just didn't change it!
"Alas..." Nyx rolled his eyes helplessly.
"I'm going out for a walk, no need to leave any food for me at noon!" Roland waved his hand and turned around to leave.
"Eat some hot food outside! Don't keep chewing dry bread!" Nyx warned. According to informants, a certain unscrupulous king not only liked to squeeze his subordinates, but was also extremely harsh on himself. He "shared the joys and sorrows" with his knights when he went out. "Eat dry bread and drink boiled water! There are some idiots who are not even willing to boil a pot of hot water sometimes!
Nyx was really afraid that one day he would hear the news not of a king who liked to drive and conquer in person, but of a sudden death on horseback due to irregular eating and resting schedules...
"How could I?" Roland opened his eyes and started telling lies, as if he wasn't the one who ate dry bread, drank boiled water and ate dried meat before.
"Alas...Lavian! Look at His Highness for me! Let him eat well!" Nyx followed Roland down the third floor and called out at the top of the stairs on the second floor. In an instant, a small purple whirlwind passed directly past Roland. Appeared on one knee in front of Nyx.
"Yes! Your Majesty the Grand Duke!" Ravi comforted his chest.
"What the hell! Why are you here?" Roland was startled by the big silver rat that suddenly appeared. He almost pulled out his sword and gave it to him.
"Okay, take Lavian with you! Anyway, I don't need his protection in the castle. I can still supervise you!" Nyx shrugged.
"..." Roland glanced sideways at Lavian. Did he bring a tail with him?
…
"Ahem!" Roland coughed twice. He always felt strange about Lavian behind him. After all, he was sent by his wife to monitor him...
Tsk! Here I have to curse the damn Western world. China is also a damn Western feudal monarchy. This vassal of my vassal is not my vassal. It’s really disgusting... No! He is my wife's vassal, not mine... Roland burst into tears.
"Your Highness, where are we going?" Lavian faithfully fulfilled Nyx's order and accompanied Roland every step of the way.
"Come on, let's go out for a walk!" Roland turned around and went to the equipment room to wear some clothes, planning to go out for a walk.
"Kachakacha~" Ravian said nothing but followed Roland's footsteps calmly.
…
"Tsk! It looks like the North is not desolate after all!" Roland looked at the wheat stubble that had been harvested. Golden wheat straws were scattered in the fields. Farmers were constantly gathering the straws together with farm tools, burning them and scattering them into the fields. .
"There are still too few cattle!" Roland frowned. According to his understanding, there are only about a hundred cattle in Jiliu City now, which is still very rare compared to the total number of residents! After all, Roland's cattle were drawn from the system.
"There is no way. We don't produce cattle in the first place. If we want cattle, we can only go to Rohan and Gondor in the south to buy them!" Lavian rarely said a word.
"Well...it will get better!" Roland said after a moment of silence.
"Let's go!" Roland waved his hand, and the knights behind him quickly followed. A group of more than a dozen people quickly walked through the wilderness. At this time, they can realize the benefits of having roads. At least they won't get lost and go in the wrong direction... …
…
"Sigh... I almost made it through this... It seems that building roads is a very necessary thing!" Roland found reasons and excuses for his lack of academic skills. After all, it is considered a good thing for a king to get lost in his own kingdom. A kind of conversation piece.
Behind him, Lavian's face covered in iron armor was twitching uncontrollably. It was obvious that he was suffering. He had been like this since he learned that the king was going to Delvin... After all, if he didn't say anything, Roland probably had to walk to Mordor to react.
"It shouldn't be! Didn't I have people put up road signs here to indicate the direction before? There should be at least three or four along the way, right? How could I not see any of them?" Roland asked in confusion, and he understood when he turned aside. , how could it be possible that we didn’t see the road sign ahead?
"..." Ravian gritted his teeth, looked at Roland slowly, and said in as calm a voice as possible.
"Your Highness... is there a possibility that when we fought against the Chariot People last time, you ordered all the road signs to be removed... to prevent the Chariot People from finding Rapid City based on those road signs?"
"Ahem!" Roland coughed twice and almost choked to death on his own spit. Damn it...it's a shame.
"Let them repair it when we get back!" Roland touched his nose awkwardly, but in the end he only touched the visor that was buckled down... Yeah! Luckily he had a visor, otherwise this damn embarrassment wouldn't have been hidden.
"As you wish!" Lavian and the others said dryly, everyone is still good at borrowing donkeys from the slope. After all, they can't really shame the king and trample on the ground... Although Roland himself tramples all day long.
"Okay, let's take a rest and let's have something to eat..." Roland could only shake his head and said. Under his completely different command, he could only say that the result was touching... The road that was originally 20 miles away is probably more than 20 kilometers away now. ... God knows how Roland soared all the way to the southeast.
"Alas..." Roland took out the bread that had been prepared from the system space and distributed it to everyone.
"Your Highness! Your Highness the Grand Duke asked me to keep an eye on you because you can't eat dry bread!" Lavian stretched out his hand to stop Roland.
"Keep everything simple, it's already a long time too late!" Roland shook his head.
"No! Now is not the time to march and fight. There is no need for this. I suggest you follow the Grand Duke's advice..." Lavian remained unmoved, as if Nyx's words were an edict.
"Okay! Okay!" Roland took out a pot from the space with his head as big as a bucket.
There were knights looking for firewood, and there were even knights going hunting together... It was like having a picnic.
Roland added water to the pot and took out the clean vegetables he had placed in the space. After all, there is no concept of time in the space, and they will not be damaged even after being washed. With the waving of the knife in Roland's hand, the vegetables were quickly separated from the earth one by one. Lotus-white shreds of cabbage spilled into the pot...
"Gudu Gudu!" The water in the pot started to boil and the lid was lifted.
"Holy shit! Is there foam?" Roland couldn't help scratching his head as he looked at the foamy vegetable soup that had been cooked.
"..." Lavian suddenly understood that it wasn't that His Highness the King didn't care about his body, but that he really couldn't cook!
