Tori was the youngest son of the City Lord of North Wind City, and he was also the envoy who came to Xiyang City this time. He was a fat man who weighed at least 170 to 180 pounds. Coupled with his short height, he looked like a meatball.
He didn't really want to come. If his father hadn't rushed him here, he definitely wouldn't have come to this barren Xiyang City.
Look at those people. They were actually demolishing houses. It was not far from the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, it would be winter in less than half a month. The weather would suddenly enter winter. If they were demolishing houses now, they were probably out of their minds.
It would take seven to eight days to build a house, even if it was a wooden house, let alone a mud wall house or a wooden brick house.
Tori shook his head. He had already labeled the City Lord of West Yang, who he had never met before, as a foolish noble who was fooling around.
He was worried about the mission his father had given him. No, Tori suddenly thought of the information about the new city lord of Xiyang City. Perhaps there was no need to worry. The mission should be completed very quickly.
According to the intelligence, the former City Lord of West Yang City, Ka Te, sold his title and territory to a merchant called Liu Feng. He used goods worth 30 gold coins to buy the title and territory at a high price.
Kate's method was not a secret among the nobles nearby. There were indeed a few nobles who learned this method.
Selling the title and territory, then secretly causing trouble, then buying back the title and territory at a low price, or even killing the other party and taking back the title and territory.
Tori now believed that Baron Liu Feng should be a pauper now. He had bought so much wheat this time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to maintain his noble life.
If he expressed that he was willing to sponsor the other party, no, to make some transactions, he believed that the other party would quickly agree to his request. Then, he could immediately return to North Wind City.
Tori thought of the wheat that he had given to Xiyang City and felt his heart ache. He blamed his father for being too generous. A noble in this barren place should be able to get rid of him with just a few things.
"Young Master has been waiting for almost fifteen minutes. The other party is too rude.”Tori's guard said unhappily.
Tori, who was carried by a few guards, looked at the tightly shut castle door. His face couldn't help but darken. After being reminded by the guards, he had indeed been waiting at the door for fifteen minutes.
" Impolite, very rude. A merchant is a merchant. Even if he becomes a noble, he will still be a merchant noble with a stench of money. He has no noble etiquette at all.”
Torrey was a proud man. Ever since his grandfather bought the noble title of Northwind City, his family had developed into a pure noble after a few generations. He was no longer a greedy and rude merchant.
Buying and selling noble titles was all too normal in the west. In this barren land, the real nobles and the royal power rarely paid attention to them.
Of course, only barons and viscounts were allowed to be sold. Any higher and they would be awarded the royal title.
Just as Tori was getting impatient, the castle door opened. Niu Ben was wearing the butler's uniform that Liu Feng had brought from Earth. It was a reformed Han costume without wide sleeves.
"Mr. Torrey, welcome to Xiyang City.”Niu Ben's etiquette was very good, and he said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Tori blinked his eyes and scanned the details of Niu Ben's clothes. He was a little surprised. This was the City Lord of Xiyang City, Liu Feng? The clothes she was wearing were even more expensive than his.
Also, didn't Liu Feng say that he was only around 20 years old? Why did he age so much?
It seemed that Tori had mistaken Niu Ben for Liu Feng.
"Baron Liu Feng, I am very happy to be able to come to Xiyang City.”Tori quickly asked the guards to let him down and came to Niu Ben to bow.
"Uh…"
Niu Ben was a little dumbfounded. The other party had mistaken him for someone else. A strange look flashed across his eyes, and his expression did not change as he said," Mr. Torrey, Young Master has already instructed someone to prepare some refreshments. Please follow me."”
"Young Master? " Cough, cough, cough…" Tori was not stupid. He immediately knew from Niu Ben's words that he had embarrassed himself. He could even mistake his master.
Niu Ben turned his head and led the way. He couldn't help but purse his lips. This short fatty, who did he think he was? How could Young Master lower himself to meet him?
Even a butler like him could recognize him as a young master. It was not a big deal to be a noble in North Wind City.
Tori's expression was a little ugly. If he knew that Niu Ben thought of him as a nobleman, he would probably kill him.
Along the way, Tory realized that the castle was not simple. Many of the facilities inside were prepared for war.
In the living room, Tory sat in the second seat, staring blankly at the refreshments on the table.
"Is this a snack?"
There was an exquisite ceramic plate with a few small and exquisite pastries on it. These were made by the maid.
If it was Nicole, May would make it more exquisite. However, the pastries made by Nicole would only be for the young master.
"Yes, Mr. Torrey, please enjoy your meal. Young Master still has some work to do and will be here soon.”
Niu Ben held back his laughter. He was afraid that he would laugh out loud if he looked at Tory's 'country bumpkin' appearance again, so he hurriedly left the living room.
"How can it be pastries? This is too beautiful." Tory carefully picked up the pastry and slowly stuffed it into his mouth.
"This taste…is amazing!"
Tory realized that the pastries he had eaten before were not even a thousandth of what he had eaten here. They were as unpalatable as dog shit.
"Wow! This taste is completely different."
"Eh? This was so fragrant. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. It was simply a delicacy in the world.”
"Damn it, why is it gone? This…Is the plate edible?”
Crack!
