This kind of thing is a bit inappropriate even if you are joking, let alone this is not a joke. That's what Zhang Feng really thinks.

However, one thing made Zhang Feng relieved. Although she "humiliated" Abei, she did not fight or anything. At least she was safe.

But looking at Abei with a cold face, Zhang Feng had a headache. Is it too late to apologize now?

"Miss, our time is coming."

Abbe whispered in Anne's ear.

"Then... let's go back."

Anne carefully packed the small mirror, lipstick and another gift box, and then bowed to Zhang Feng.

"Mr. Zhang Feng, thank you very much for your reception and gifts. I hope we have a chance to see you again. If there is really that day, I will prepare a gift for you."

Looking at Annie who was very formal, Zhang Feng had to temporarily put down his depression. He nodded and said:

"I look forward to that day."

Anne turned around reluctantly, and she saw the dagger on the table and spoke in a low voice to Abe in a curiosity:

"Abe, I forgot to take your gift."

When she saw Abbe opening the wooden box before, she saw a dagger inside, Anne lost interest and ran aside to study her little mirror.

"That's not mine."

Abbe's voice was a little cold.

"Oh well."

Although she didn't know what was wrong, Annie must have had something happened when she didn't pay attention to it, but she didn't ask too much.

Watching the two of them follow the servants, Zhang Feng looked at the golden short sword on the table, feeling a little painful.

Although he just made this thing, it was his own wish, and it was rejected directly. This seemed to be the first time he gave a gift and was rejected.

Although Zhang Feng didn't send a few people, although he was wrong first.

But to be honest, Zhang Feng was a little upset.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng did not have much hope. As long as his small gift could be delivered to Anne's father, he saw what was inside, and I believe the other party would definitely not refuse to exchange it with a knight.

"Abe, right? You can't escape from my palm!"

Zhang Feng pulled out the golden short sword and looked at the handsome face reflected on the sword. He felt that he was like a villain at this moment.

After simply packing the table, Zhang Feng looked at the time and it was almost done.

He went upstairs to take a look first. Caroline was still sleeping, and Zhang Feng did not disturb him. To his surprise, in the room of the wolf-eared lady Amy, he saw the fox-eared lady Zhang Xiaotang and Amy sleeping on the same bed. Under a big pink quilt, two small heads with beast-eared ears were exposed, which were very cute.

However, the two of them had not woken up yet, so Zhang Feng did not disturb him. He was very pleased to see the two beast-eared girls living together.

Zhang Feng took the dagger and went downstairs, and the carriage was already waiting for him.

By the time he arrived at the gate of the south city, all the merchants who were about to leave had arrived.

Zhang Feng said that he would see them off, but in fact he gave him his own caravan or guard team, otherwise he would not have such a big face just because these merchants did not have such a big face.

After being kind to the merchants, Zhang Feng came to the already fully armed Knight Marlowe. Beside him was a short man with a face covering and only eyes exposed.

"Mr. City Lord, everything is ready and can set off at any time."

Zhang Feng nodded, and he explained in a low voice:

"I've given all the goods to you. If you can't make up your mind about the price you sell, you can discuss it with Rat Daqiang."

"yes."

Marlow nodded, and the masked man next to him nodded and bowed.

"Don't worry, Lord, this time, I will definitely help you earn five times, no, ten times the profit!"

This person was a rat orc who was pretending to be a camouflage.

Originally, Zhang Feng did not intend to let the orcs go, after all, orcs are too eye-catching. Many people have never heard of orcs in other places. As for those who have heard of it, they are also very afraid of orcs.

If the orcs follow, it is safe, but it will be even more troublesome.

However, the big and strong rats are different. One is that they are relatively thin, even smaller than normal humans. Just pretend to be a little bit disguised. Anyway, it is winter now, so it is reasonable to wear a little thinner.

Another thing is that he is very smart, flexible in mind, and has a considerable talent in business. After observing this period of time, Zhang Feng found that his ability in business is currently the strongest under Zhang Feng.

So I made an exception and let the Rat Daqiang follow me. Everything is dominated by Marlowe. The Rat Daqiang is equivalent to a position similar to a consultant.

Rat Daqiang was very happy about this. He was obviously valued!

You must do it well. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to be able to get a job at that time?

"If you are targeted because you have made too much money, or other unexpected situations are enough to threaten your life, you should run away, and give up some things. Even if all the gold coins and materials are lost, it doesn't matter. I just need to watch you come back alive."

Zhang Fengyu explained earnestly.

Compared to gold coins and supplies, he hoped that these subordinates could be safe and safe. It was not easy to train these soldiers, let alone the Marlow Knight. This is the number one general under his command. For Zhang Feng, it could not be bought by a thousand gold coins.

If danger really happens, he is afraid that Malo will get angry and will say something stupid about "people are there and gold coins are there". After all, he has seen these knights' stubbornness in Abe.

As for this Rat, he is one of the few talents, so Zhang Feng naturally doesn't want something to happen to him.

"Thank you, Lord, for yourselves!"

The two of them quickly spoke, and they were really moved by the city lord who could be so despised by the city lord, and even said the words to repay their lives first. The two of them were really moved. Such a "stupid" city lord is probably the only one in this family.

This also made the two of them feel that this business event must be done well and that they cannot drag their backs on adults!

"It's useless to thank you. Remember, if there is a danger, everything is based on the premise of saving your life. Only when your life is gone can you be. If your life is gone, everything is empty!"

"Yes! We must keep our teachings in mind!"

“It’s almost the same.”

Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, you can call that Annie over and call her alone. I want to tell her something."

Soon, Marlow brought Anne over, but Abbe, who had been inseparable from her, did not come.

Abbe looked out from a distance, but she did not do anything out of style. Although she had a complicated feeling about Zhang Feng now, Zhang Feng's character still had no idea and would definitely not have any bad thoughts about Annie.

"Master Lord."

Seeing Anne who was wrapped tightly, Zhang Feng first said some polite words to her, and then spoke in a low voice:

"Abe seemed to have some misunderstandings about me before. She didn't accept this little gift. Can you help me pass it on to her?"

Zhang Feng took out the box containing the dagger and a small baggage.

"this……"

Annie was a little hesitant. She discovered something when she left. It was probably because of what happened between the two, but she didn't have the nerve to ask at that time. After that, Abe didn't say anything.

Logically speaking, she must be on Abei's side. Although she didn't know what was going on, she just had no brainstorm to support Abei, but the other party was Zhang Feng, which made it difficult for people to refuse.

Seeing Annie fall into hesitation, Zhang Feng pretended to be sad, but he didn't say it out.

"Since you are inconvenient, then forget it, hey-"

Hearing Zhang Feng's sigh, the tone was filled with a deep sense of loss, Annie hurriedly spoke with some distress:

"No problem, I will definitely bring it to you!"

"Thank you so much! To express your gratitude, this small bag is filled with inconspicuous gadgets, which you may be able to use on the road. If you don't know how to use it, you can ask Marlow."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth.

"Uh-huh!"

Annie put the short sword box into the bag and refused to let Abei see it for the time being. She explained later that this was something Zhang Feng gave her. Of course, she probably didn't need to explain, because Abei never took the initiative to inquire about her privacy.

"By the way, don't give it to her now. You can wait until the night to give it to her. If Abe is still angry and unwilling to ask for it, tell her and let him throw it away. There is never any reason to take back what I, Zhang Feng, gave it."

Listening to Zhang Feng's domineering words, little stars flashed in Annie's eyes.

"Okay, I will definitely bring the words!"

...

Soon, everyone was sure to finish the packing and nothing was left out. Under the protection of many soldiers, the merchants pulled trucks of supplies and drove out of the southern city gate.

The supplies Zhang Feng gave to Ma Luo were relatively small, which was easier to carry and would not be too eye-catching. Some soldiers carried on their backs. When others saw them, they thought they were ceremonies, but what they knew was that just a small bag might be worth more than their entire value.

As for those who were like Xie Li and the others who were walking on the water before, it was naturally impossible for them to walk on the water again. After all, the river surface is still frozen now, and they dare not leave even if it is thawed. If the river surface freezes, there may not be the next Hongye City. Their ship will temporarily stay in Hongye City and will drive away after winter. Of course, Zhang Feng also charged a little storage fee, which is very reasonable.

When I opened the thick city gate, felt the cold wind coming to my face, and when I looked at the snowy world outside, everyone felt like they were a different world.

They shivered.

This is the real winter!

"I really don't want to leave!"

Compared with the warm heating in Hongye City, the biting cold wind outside seemed to fall from heaven to hell.

"Hey, let's go, don't think about it. If you miss you again, you can't walk! Come on, we'll all get closer."

A few people gathered together so that they could be warmer.

Although it is sunny today, the sun cannot be used at all. It is still cold to be cold.

Those who have no conditions get together like them and keep warm. Those who have conditions can sit in the carriage. Although they still can't escape the cold, at least they don't have to be attacked by the cold wind. It's relatively more comfortable.

However, because there are few carriages in Hongye City, Zhang Feng used a lot of wood before, so there were no carriages in the city. Moreover, this thing is not something that can be made just by making, but it also requires certain technology. Even if it is paid at a high price, it cannot be purchased.

At present, there are only a few carriages in these vast crowds, and they all look like they are pieced together. The only relatively normal carriage is Marlowe, which is also very old, but this is the object of envy of many people.

It belongs to Anne's carriage.

"This carriage is too broken, so cold!"

Anne complained quietly.

She bought this carriage for a lot of money. She didn't feel anything in the city before, but when she came out, she felt very cold and didn't see any broken places. However, the cold wind blew from various places, and she couldn't find the source at all.

"How about I hug you."

Abbe spoke.

As a knight, she is much better than Anne.

Of course, this does not mean that she is not afraid of the cold, but that she has a strong physique and has high resistance to the cold, but it is still cold to be cold.

"good!"

Anne and Abbe snuggled together, like two little quails.

Listening to the cold wind coming from his ears and feeling the distance from Hongye City, Annie's eyes showed melancholy.

Is there really a chance to come again?

At this time, in Marlow's car, there was another scene.

“So warm!”

Rat is strong, Marlowe and several merchants surrounded a small charcoal stove. The fire that didn't look big and even a little dim can bring a lot of warmth to people.

Charcoal was made by Zhang Feng. Nowadays, people usually use firewood to keep warm. Although firewood is quite warm, firewood is open fire, not only may it have thick smoke, but its safety is not very good.

Dark fires like charcoal are not only smoke-free, but also have high safety and are very suitable for heating.

However, because there is less raw material for charcoal making in the city, Zhang Feng has not yet promoted it.

The merchants in the carriage were all local merchants from Hongye City. Although their strength was not very strong, they were very potential in the evaluation. So Zhang Feng arranged for them to follow this action.

If Marlow felt that there was no problem with these people, the Hongye City Caravan would take these people as the foundation and slowly expand it.

"I'm even a little hot, and I want to go outside and get cooler for a while!"

Rat Daqiang made a somewhat exaggerated joke.

"Haha! Lord Rat is kidding!"

Everyone laughed out loud.

"But I have to say that the city lord has not only complete things, but also very useful!"

"I really don't know what the city lord thought of it. You said they are all humans, so why is the gap so big?"

"Thank you, Lord Cheng, don't dislike me, we must also work hard for Lord Cheng!"

"That's for sure!"

Not only were they equipped with charcoal stoves, they were also wearing layers of thermal underwear. These were prepared by Zhang Feng for them, for fear that they would get frozen.

In addition to these, there are warm masks, gloves, cotton shoes, and all kinds of warm things. Zhang Feng thought of them. I have to say that for his caravan, Zhang Feng was also worried about this. At present, it seems that the effect is pretty good.

Several people talked and laughed, and it was very relaxed.

Even Marlow, who was usually serious, joined their chat.

After all, when compared with people outside, they are so happy. If this sense of superiority is not expressed, it will be almost meaningful.

Soon, it became dark.

Marlow opened his pocket watch, looked at the time, and felt that today's journey was almost done.

Although you can also rush to travel at night, it is very inconvenient at night. After all, their distance is very long. If something goes wrong, it may be a world of difference in the end.

Under the eyes of everyone, Malo took out another "pocket watch".

But the pointer on it made everyone a little confused. It seemed different from the pocket watch just now.

"Huh? What is this?"

Rat Daqiang asked curiously.

"compass."

Marlow did not hide it, and these things were given to him by Zhang Feng.

After looking at the compass, he drew on the map and determined his position, Malo asked the convoy to stop and prepare to set up a camp. He didn't rush to go to the evening and rest.

"Huh~ I've been walking for a day, so tired!"

Someone sticks out his tongue.

"Hey, you said you weren't that tired before. I could walk for a day and a night before, why are you so tired today?"

Some people complained in confusion.

"Haha, what was that happening before? What's going on now? We just came out of Hongye City and enjoyed the warmth of Hongye Hotel the day before. Today we are in this deserted snow. How can we not be tired!"

"It seems that what I said is..."

"Miss Red Leaf City!"

"Me too!"

In Anne's carriage.

Abbe had already gotten out of the car and even had his tent.

Anne was reluctant to get off the car.

“So cold!”

On the night without the sun, it was much colder than during the day, and Anne subconsciously shivered.

Abei boiled water, she looked at her backpack, took out a few instant noodles, put them in the pot, and then put them in the seasonings. In an instant, the strong fragrance spread far away.

"Wow! What did they cook? It smells so good!"

Someone sniffed the smell and spoke subconsciously.

"This...it should be instant noodles!"

"Instant noodles? I seem to have heard of them, but I haven't seen any sale in Hongye City?"

"This is sold within the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and only their members can buy it!"

"ah?"

Of course, these merchants are not all members of the Red Leaf Business Alliance. They heard that the members of the alliance can be escorted by the guards, so they naturally did not want to leave alone. For their own safety, they could only come over with shamelessness.

But Marlow did not refuse, but just charged a little protection fee.

There is nothing to say about this. For safety, I can only spend this money.

These non-members drooled when they saw the fragrance coming from Abei's pot. Some even asked Abei if they were selling these things, but they were obviously ruthlessly rejected.

After all, it is not easy for them to buy these things. In the stores within the alliance, most of the things are limited in quantity. If you want to sell them for money, you will definitely be able to sell them at a high price when you go home. If you sell them to these merchants, it will definitely not be worth it.

"It smells so good!"

Annie didn't care about anyone else. She took the bowl Abe handed to her and couldn't wait to see the instant noodles dyed red inside.

"Wait a moment."

Abbe stopped Anne.

She took two ham sausages and peeled them and put them in Anne's bowl.

"Ah, there are also ham sausages!"

Ham sausage is also something that only members can purchase limited. Annie and Abbe bought different things. Annie knew that Abbe bought some food, but she didn't know what it was.

"But Abe, I've eaten everything, what are you eating?"

Annie said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I still have it."

Abbe is not a businessman. She is not very interested in reselling, and she is not very good at it.

The things were bought for use, and she didn't keep them too deliberately.

"Hehe, thank you Abei, I will give you a good thing later!"

After hearing this, Abei didn't take it seriously, it was just some snacks or something.

Anne had a small appetite, she was full in a bowl, and the rest was put into Abe's stomach.

After eating, Annie pulled Abbe and mysteriously came to the tent.

"What's wrong?"

Abe was a little strange.

"I said, I want to give you a good thing!"

Annie said, taking out a bag from behind.

"Hmm? This is...he gave it to you?"

Abei recognized it at a glance. This was the burden Zhang Feng gave to Annie in the morning. Although she was a little curious about what was here, Annie didn't say it, and she didn't ask too much.

"Well, aren't you curious about what's inside?"

Anne looked at Abbe with some mystery.

“Not curious.”

“…”

"Oh, you're so boring!"

Seeing that Ah Bei didn't cooperate with her, she no longer kept her indifferent and opened her bag directly.

"That golden dagger! How could it be with you?"

Abei saw the box containing a dagger at a glance.

"Zhang Feng gave it to me. He said this was for you. Since he gave it to you, he would have no reason to take it back."

"Hmph, I don't want it, you give it back to him!"

When she thought of Zhang Feng, Abei was still a little angry. If it weren't for the previous "humiliation" of her, Zhang Feng would have a good feeling in her mind, but now, her feelings for Zhang Feng are very complicated.

"Then let's go back and return it to him?"

Annie spoke up unhappily, and before Abbe could speak, she continued.

"Zhang Feng said, if you don't want it, you will throw it away. Anyway, I've given it to you. You have the power to dominate this sword."

"I……"

Abe was speechless when he heard such a scoundrel.

This is a short sword made of gold. Not only is the material valuable, but it is also very sharp and solid. If it is taken out, it will definitely sell a lot of gold coins. If it is thrown away, even Abel will not be able to bear it.

"Okay, OK, there must be some misunderstandings among you. If you have the chance, just slowly resolve the misunderstandings. Besides, you may not be able to meet again in the future. You can keep them!"

Anne said and stuffed the box into Abbe's hand.

Abe caught it at a loss.

Yes, we may never meet again in the future!

Annie ignored Abbe, she was interested in other things in the baggage.

"Huh? This mask... seems to be worn by Anche soldiers?"

Abei took out a few black masks. The masks were very thick and had good ventilation. These were the cold-proof materials that Zhang Feng prepared for his soldiers.

Anne groped, it was very simple. After all, she saw someone wearing it and it quickly put it on her mouth.

"Mmm~ It's so warm!"

The heat exhaled was all on my face, and it was still very warm in this ice and snow.

"Come on, Abe, you can try it too!"

Anne grabbed Abe without saying a word, ignored Abe's rolling eyes, and forcibly put another mask on Abe's face.

"I'll see what else is there."

"Huh? There are also gloves, they are the same as Knight Marlowe!"

"What kind of clothes is this? It says... Thermal underwear? How to keep warm so thin? It should be worn inside. The fabric is so soft and it feels so comfortable to touch!"

"Huh? Ear cups? Is this worn on my ears? Let me try it, wow, it's so warm!"

"And this one, it says hand warmer? How do you use it? By the way, if Zhang Feng doesn't understand, you can ask the Knight Marlowe! I'll ask later!"

“…”

Seeing Anne flipping her bag like a treasure hunt, Abe's face was complicated. She looked at the golden short sword in her hand, biting her lips and muttering to herself:

"I know you may have done it unintentionally, but using gold coins to buy the knight is a humiliation to this knight. I can't accept it... If I really have the chance to meet again, I will forgive you..."

Although Abbe said this, she knew in her heart that the two should not have any intersection anymore. After all, they were too far away. As the knight of Anne's family, it was impossible for Abbe to come to such a place without orders.

Soon, Anne was fully armed, such as masks, earmuffs, scarves, gloves...

Since these things are all produced in another world, there is no beauty to talk about. In Zhang Feng's opinion, they are not good enough, but they are still very good to keep warm.

Anne excitedly took a bunch of things she didn't know how to use, and pulled Abbe to find Knight Marlow to answer the questions.

...

Red Leaf City.

After so many people left at once, Hongye City suddenly fell into a deserted state.

After all, for so many days, these businessmen are the main consumers. Without them, there are fewer people going to high-end places such as Red Leaf Restaurants and Red Leaf Hotels.

However, the impact is not great. As a conscientious boss, Zhang Feng will not be able to pay a copper coin even if he doesn't have a single customer.

"But now it's clear. You should take this opportunity to send some people to collect some wood in the Black Stone Forest, and let these people go with the orcs."

"I have to go back to Hyundai to study how to do the steam engine, and I have to make it! If there is a machine and a orc, it should be fine to expand Red Leaf City for a few more rounds..."

“…”

After studying for a while, Zhang Feng stretched.

He actually wanted to go out and have a look. After all, he has been in the other world for so long and has been in Hongye City all the time. However, after he proposed the idea of ​​going out, he was unanimously rejected by the women.

After all, in this season, it is still very dangerous outside. As the city lord, how could he take such a risk!

Zhang Feng didn't have to go out, but just mentioned it. Since it was not suitable now, he didn't say anything more, but some thoughts slowly appeared in his mind.

If there is a steam locomotive that can be unobstructed in the snow, you should be able to go out and have a walk?

Dongdong ~

The study door was knocked.

"Come in."

Caroline walked in with a bowl of soup.

After putting the soup on the table, Caroline helped Zhang Feng rub his shoulders.

"By the way, have you seen Zhang Xiaotang?"

Zhang Feng was a little strange. Except for the morning, he hadn't seen the fox-Earing Girl for a day. Why did the fox-Earing Girl avoid him like Tina?

Isn’t it just that a small accident happened yesterday?

"See, she's been in the castle."

Caroline thought for a while and replied.

"Ha, I'm really hiding from me!"

Zhang Feng was speechless. There were not many people in the castle, but the two of them were still hiding from him.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Caroline was a little curious, she was still doing well yesterday!

"Ahem, there was only a small accident. Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's talk about some pleasant things, such as what I told you last time, what do you think?"

Caroline was stunned at first, then as if she had thought of something, her face turned red in an instant.
Chapter completed!
