Caite and Fess were currently on the fleet. They had come to reminisce about their former territory. After all, they would be leaving this place soon.
"Hahahaha…"
The father and son looked at the golden ears of wheat on both sides of the river and couldn't help but laugh, causing the people on the fleet to cast strange looks at them.
"Father, after ten days, these will be our spoils of war.”Fess pointed at the wheat.
"Just treat it as compensation for working hard for this territory for many years. They won't blame us.”Ka Te smiled coldly. After ten days, this place would be robbed clean by the Horse Gang.
Today, he had come to Xiyang City because he wanted to see the place where he had lived for many years and then rush to a better life.
"Father, is the news we received true? Was that Liu Feng really rebuilding Xiyang City? Is he going to give up?" Fess asked in a low voice.
" I don't know why he did such a big thing before winter, but the fact that those grain merchants were killed and he traded with North Wind City shows that Liu Feng is not stupid. He's smart, and he's definitely a ruthless man."”
Yes, it was a lie to come here to reminisce about his old land. He had long been tired of this barren land and could not wait to get as far away as possible. Today, he came back to Xiyang City because he felt that there was something to be gained.
"Do you think North Wind City has noticed something?”Fess 'voice became even softer as he looked around vigilantly.
"Yes!" Ka Te nodded and looked at the dock of Xiyang City not far away. He said coldly," If North Wind City gets the news of the bandits robbing, it's very likely that they will smuggle their property and resources over to Xiyang City. Then..."
Fess understood that if North Wind City really cooperated with West Yang City, then the value of West Yang City would be even greater. The profit would not be less than the Horse Gang's robbery, and perhaps even more. After all, there was no need to share with Baron Omer.
Of course, everything had to be true first. Then, they would take back Xiyang City. Then, the resources of North Wind City would be at their disposal.
"Will Baron Omer notice something? If he takes too little, I'm afraid he'll attack us.”Fess said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Kate smiled mysteriously. The most important thing now was to check whether the matter was true or not before he could make a decision.
The Serene Water River flowed out of the Imprisoned Mountain Range and was dozens of meters wide. Xiyang City was beside a tributary of the Serene Water River and had a small dock where fleets could dock.
Cater and Fess left the fleet with a few guards and swaggered into Xiyang City. They had all disguised themselves and were just cutting their hair and making their beards.
The disguising techniques of this era were simple and crude. With a beard and a headscarf, many civilians would not be able to recognize the two of them.
As soon as they entered the city, Caite and Fess 'eyes widened. What was going on?
Who can tell us if those lowlifes are crazy? They actually tore down the house, built it with wooden planks, and poured mud into it. Could the house built like this be habitable? It wouldn't collapse just because of the rain, right?
However, as the two of them walked further in, their eyes were staring at Boss. There were knocking sounds coming from the strange two-story houses.
The narrow, dirty, and smelly road had now become a wide road. The ground was clean, paved with some kind of stone. It was hard and the color was similar to the walls of the houses.
There were also trees planted on both sides of the road. Although there were no leaves, one could imagine that there would be lush trees next spring.
What was most dazzling to the two of them was that those lowlifes were talking and laughing while working, and their movements were not slow at all. They had never seen such a situation before.
Thinking back to the past, when Kate gave the order to recruit commoners to work, the group of people looked as if their parents had died. They all had long faces and dragged their feet, like an 80-year-old old man.
"Did Liu Feng cast some kind of witchcraft on them? Why are you so happy to work?" Fess widened his eyes in disbelief.
Kate's expression was very ugly. These lowlifes were slapping his face. Didn't they treat them well in the past? They would be given a meal of wheat for lunch when they were recruited. Could it be that Liu Feng was also giving them a salary?
Along the way, he saw that there were at least a thousand people working. Kate definitely did not believe that Liu Feng would pay him. Even if it was just a meal of wheat for lunch, it would be enough. In less than three or four days, Liu Feng would go bankrupt.
"Come here."
Ka Te's face was gloomy as he pointed at the civilians passing by and ordered. He wanted to personally ask what was going on.
The commoner saw the way Kate and the others were dressed and knew that they were people of status. He didn't dare to offend them and obediently went over." You're looking for me?”
Ka Te's face was cold as he asked in a deep voice," Are you guys working for the City Lord?”
"Yes, everyone is working for the City Lord.”The commoner pointed at the people around him and said with a smile.
"Why are you guys so happy to work? Did the City Lord pay you?”Fess couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, the city lord is a good noble.”The commoner said matter-of-factly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Kate and the others strangely. He felt that these people were a little familiar.
"This is impossible. How can the City Lord afford the salaries of so many people?”Ka Te didn't believe it and scolded angrily," You're not lying to us, are you? Or is the City Lord lying to you?"
"It's true. The city lord paid us with wheat as salary.”
The commoner was extremely angry. He did not care about their identities and shouted unhappily," You're not allowed to speak ill of the City Lord. He's the best noble in the world.”
"Let me tell you, in the past, there was a noble called Kate. He only knew how to exploit us and recruit us to work. Not only did he give us a meal of wheat, but he also only gave us half a bowl.”
" The City Lord is much better than the original noble Kate, more than ten times better. Not only did he give us food, but he also gave those grain merchants..."
The commoner said a lot of good things about Liu Feng, causing the faces of Kate and his son to turn green with anger.
So, after half a sentence, they had become negative examples? Moreover, he said this in front of the two of them.
They could not refute anything. There were a few more commoners around them, and they looked at the two of them with unfriendly gazes. It was as if they wanted to beat them up if they dared to speak ill of the City Lord.
