1255 The Lord's File
"Hey, 'Young Master', can I play in your bed for a while?"
Shu Xiao stood in front of the wide wooden bed, looking at the silk sheets enviously and the red pillows with phoenix patterns painted with gold thread.
This was the first time this wanderer who had been sleeping in the open and had seen such a "level" dormitory. Without waiting for Lin Chi to answer, he had already jumped up and started rolling around on the bed.
"Whatever you want." Lin Chi didn't raise his head and sat at the desk to read the piles of documents and materials.
It seems that before he "takes the body", the young master of Yanfeng City was a diligent ruler, and he still handles official duties even in his dormitory.
Of course, there is another possibility: the young master was too lazy to read these files, so he piled them all into a "safe house" where only he could enter, and then lied that he had read it.
Judging from the number of these files, the second possibility seems to be a little more.
However, these documents left in the room can just let Lin Chi understand the story background of this new map and various information that may come in handy.
Lin Chi picked up the first document. The back of the heavy paper was extremely rough and had a texture to the touch. The front was written in Yanfengcheng's words, which read the proposal to the lord:
"The Yanfeng Army's 'Stealing Corps' requests to increase military expenditure."
The Supreme Young Master:
The Yanfeng Army's Enclave Group was reorganized from the former "City Massacre Force". Although the name has been changed, this army is still one of the most elite forces of the Yanfeng Army. Now, part of the equipment of the Enclave Group has aging, and the two wooden barracks have begun to decay. If this elite unit wants to exert its strongest power, it is necessary to provide them with some military expenditure. Please give me instructions.
——Yanfeng Army Operations Command.
"On the Construction of the Canal of Yanfengcheng".
Young Master:
The former lord approved the construction of a canal in the city. With this canal connected to the river, we can conduct business and trade with distant friendly countries more conveniently and save a lot of toll costs.
For traders in Yanfeng City, this canal is very necessary to be built. After you succeed to the throne, please also approve our construction work so that our work can continue.
——Yanfeng City Trade Commission.
"Repair of the Wall of Yanfeng Palace".
The noble young master:
The fence at the southwest corner of Yanfeng Palace was destroyed in heavy rain some time ago. The workers carried out temporary repairs, but there are still many bricks missing on the walls and building materials are needed. Please give me instructions.
——Yanfeng Palace Maintenance Center.
After frowning and reading a few documents, Lin Chi finally couldn't help but throw the broken paper aside when he read the document called "Assignment of Cleaning Time in Yanfeng Palace Toilet":
"Do these guys even ask me for instructions on how much paper they use when going to the bathroom?" he snorted.
"Ah? Do you still need paper?" Shu Xiao, who was lying on the bed, asked in surprise: "It's too wasteful, right? It's completely unnecessary!"
"Roll out of the bed, hurry up."
Lin Chi was having a nutritious conversation with Shu Xiao, but found that Shu Yao was standing quietly aside, staring at the text on the file without blinking.
"Are you literate?" Lin Chi asked.
"Well, I still know some." Shu Yao nodded: "This document states the 'toilet'."
"Don't mention this." Lin Chi said, picking up the next file, and after opening it, read the above content:
"About the 'monsters' that appear outside the city".
"Um?"
Seeing the title of this document, Lin Chi's originally distracted attention and immediately focused on reading the content above:
Young Master:
According to the information circulated among local residents and the traces found by hunters during hunting, there is a dangerous monster hidden in the jungle east of Yanfeng City.
No one has seen the real body of the monster, but the villagers nearby have found many domestic animals that have been sucked into the blood. There are also many corpses of wild beasts in the forest. All the blood in the body has been drained, leaving only gray bodies.
Several scholars suspected that there was a dangerous blood-sucking beast in the forest and suggested that we send troops to deal with it. The general is currently waiting for your instructions.
——Yanfeng Army Operations Command.
"Oh?'Baby Beast' is it..."
After reading this document, a smile slowly appeared on Lin Chi's face: "I probably know who it is."
"Who is it?" Shu Yao suddenly asked.
"You don't know each other, but you will meet in the future." Lin Chi smiled and said, "That's not a 'bad guy', I promise."
Lin Chi opened the Yanfeng City map placed on the table and drew a red circle at the forest location in the east, just as a simple mark.
Then, he put down the document and began to continue reading the contents of the other documents.
After skipping a few boring documents about building repairs or personnel allocations, the document that appeared in front of Lin Chi looked a little different:
Unlike other documents written on white paper, this document is like using animal fur material, with dense dark red characters written on the gray skin, which seems to be painted with blood, revealing a bit of the rough atmosphere of nomadic peoples.
The title of this document is "Agreement Wish", and the grammar of the text is also very "rough", so it goes straight to the topic:
Hello, Young Master of Yanfeng City, this is the Lord of Zhanhen City!
The border friction between us has been going on for a long time and is of no benefit to both sides. Now it is not easy for everyone to mess around. If we fight, other warlords will definitely take the opportunity to rob us!
So, how about we temporarily form an alliance! We can also go into business!
——The Lord of Zhanshi City.
"Ha, this guy is so straightforward." After reading this document, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing.
Obviously, the alliance document should have been written by the lord of Zhanhen City before being "taken away". Just reading this document, Lin Chi's eyes had already appeared in front of him with a burly man wearing a wolf fur coat, a fur hat and a beard.
However, now, this so-called Battle Trace City should have been controlled by players, so it is still a matter of whether it will form an alliance with me.
"So, who is the lord of Zhanshi City now?"
Lin Chi did not think about it for too long and temporarily put this issue on hold. After all, regaining control of Yanfeng City is the key point at present.
——I don’t know how Shen Wenchong is doing there.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi raised his head and stared at a landscape painting on the wall. The picture was an endless grassland and the heavy cavalry galloping.
The cavalry were wearing heavy red armor, holding spears and war halberds, as if burning flames on the grassland, spreading towards the enemy formations in the distance.
