Chapter 63: The Nobility

  Oola snorted, tilting up her small, pointed chin in discontent. "How did you know?"

  Ye Feng sighed and said: "In our place back then, the leader was just like that, his name was Dumb Dai Mu."

  When a very capable old hooligan named Bu Lao Da robbed him of his turf, Dumb Big Wood established a similar team, which also vowed to fight to the death with Bu Lao Da's younger brothers and declared that they would shed their last drop of blood for the great leader. They cheated Dumb Big Wood into giving them guns and money. What was the result?

  As a result, when Boss Bao led his gang to attack, the whole troop immediately dispersed. Everyone took off their uniforms and went home with the money they had cheated, not leaving a single person behind.

  "Poor Big Wooden Brother, after a lifetime of toil, was hung on the gallows in his old age and bled out his last drop of blood. Not only that, but also dragged down all the male members of his family, leaving not even a single drop of their bloodline behind."

  He stared at Euler's eyes, word by word: "When a good leader is killing and setting fires to grab territory, he must also think of his underlings. No matter how many beautiful words are spoken, they don't work. Remember, no one has two small JJ."

  Ou La saw Ye Feng's serious face, somewhat inexplicable, but still nodded. It wasn't until later that he realized how reasonable Ye Feng's words were, and how difficult they were to achieve. However, if one could achieve this point, they could establish a prosperous business that would last for ages and win the hearts of all under heaven.

  Diana saw that he spoke in a really unpleasant tone, stretched out her leg and gently kicked him, scolding: "Your words are too unpleasant, corrupting the child. Can't you change your way of speaking, for example, everyone only has one head, sounds better."

  Ye Feng immediately nodded and smiled obsequiously: "You're absolutely right."

  Diana didn't know why he was being so diligent, and she looked at him suspiciously, just about to ask a question. At this time, the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and those Imperial Guard members had already mounted their warhorses and charged into the drill ground.

  Diana found it inconvenient to ask questions, so she focused on her work and carefully observed the skills of those people on horseback in order to pick out the most outstanding ones.

  Ou La secretly pulled at Ye Feng's sleeve and said: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of her now?"

  Ye Feng sighed and said, "Don't you dare? You don't know how hard it is for us to find a girlfriend?"

  Ye Feng had previously read a lot of historical introductions about the nobles, and he was very envious of their corrupt and decadent lives. Every day, they would indulge in wine, meat, and beautiful women, and from time to time, they could even play refined games like SM. Not to mention the greatest dream of men - the legendary harem.

  But he never thought that even a noble with ideals and ambitions would find it difficult, they actually stood in the scorching sun, watching those rookies perform equestrian skills with ease. The long-neglected training ground didn't even have a blade of grass, and when the warhorses galloped, dust flew everywhere, choking people to the point of suffocation.

  Even so, he saw Diana and Eula still maintaining the dignity unique to nobles, standing upright with serious expressions under the sun.

  It seems that imagination and reality have a significant gap, but he has already started to get used to all this. After all, there are people who still want to justify the evil landlords like Zhou Puchi and Liu Wancai. Just by reading the article, it's possible to evaluate them as models of diligent wealth creation.

  The three of them, except for a short rest at noon when they ate lunch, stood in the square and got covered in dust all day. Diana was meticulous about what she did, and one by one, she went through those people who had been summoned. This made Ye Feng sigh that being a noble was not easy.

  However, their harvest is also quite good, or the quality of this batch of people recruited is not bad. The vast majority of them have riding skills that are quite satisfactory and almost completely meet the requirements.

  All Diana had to do was send down a few seasoned officers to command them and let them get used to each other in training, learn to work together seamlessly side by side, and execute orders accurately.

  All these things take time, and time alone.

  So when she returned to the duke's mansion at night, Diana was very happy. Sitting at the dinner table, she couldn't stop praising the quality of those people, and even her favorite roast beef couldn't shut her up, listening to the other three people being annoyed.

  At this time, the steward of the mansion walked in, holding a tray with a sealed letter on it.

  Nia was delighted to change the subject and hastily asked: "Whose letter has arrived?"

  The housekeeper said with a strange expression: "I don't know, it was sent by a little kid. He even specified your name and said he wanted to give it to you personally."

  Oola glanced at Ye Feng and said with malice: "I think it's probably another admirer of yours who wrote a love letter."

  Niya originally wanted the butler to throw away the letter, just like he handled other similar letters. But seeing Ye Feng's displeased expression, she changed her mind and said, "Bring it over."

  The butler hesitated for a moment before handing over the letter.

  Nina smiled as she took the letter, but felt something was off. She gently shook it and heard a heavy object rattling inside, which made her curious. She opened the envelope, and with a 'clink', a beautifully crafted gold ring fell out.

  Niya picked up the ring from the table, and as soon as she saw it, her smile froze on her face. She hastily picked up the letter again and read it carefully from beginning to end. Then she threw down the letter, jumped up, and loudly asked: "Where is that little kid?"

  The housekeeper was taken aback and said: "He left after delivering the letter."

  Ou La was startled by her actions, and her hand shook, the soup in the plate almost spilled out. She said discontentedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Can't a girl speak softly?"

  Niya threw the letter in front of him and said angrily: "What tenderness! The old man has been kidnapped."

  "Ah~" Several people stood up and gathered together to read the letter. On it was written in crooked characters: Miss Nia, The Duke is currently a guest at my place. Please prepare 50,000 bags of grain at the fastest speed after receiving this letter. Otherwise, the Duke can only discuss his 17-line poem with Poseidon.

  Here is the translation:

  Below, there is also a line written by the duke: I'm fine now, don't worry everyone. Also, I finally understand what Yefeng meant by "overturning cities and countries". It's really expensive to please beautiful women.

  Diana slammed her fist on the table, causing all the dishes to jump up. Instantly, soup splashed everywhere. She cursed loudly: "These damn bastards!"

  Ye Feng watched it and then sat back with a snort of laughter.

  Niya looked at Ye Feng and asked: "What do you think?"

  "You guys should hold a literacy class," Yefeng said seriously, "It's obviously a fourteen-line poem, but he wrote it as seventeen lines. The guy who wrote this letter is clearly semi-illiterate."

  Niya paused, dissatisfied, and said: "What's wrong with you? Can't you be serious for once?"

  Although she said so, it didn't make Ye Feng feel any discomfort, but rather a kind of intimacy as if he were a close relative.

  Ye Feng closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and thought rapidly. As he pondered, he slowly said, "From this letter, we can understand the following situation."
