Chapter 9 I Can Go Back

"Report to the wife, someone outside asked for a meeting, and he said..."

While Caroline and Malobek were discussing how to deal with the new lord, a servant told him that someone was asking for a meeting at the entrance of the castle.

"What did he say?"

"He said...he is the new city lord of Hongye City!"

The servant said carefully.

Caroline's face turned pale, and the new city lord was finally here.

"Invite him in... no, let's go out to greet him."

...

"This castle looks OK, but the windows are a little small, and I guess the lighting is not good..."

Zhang Feng stood at the gate of the castle and commented on the castle in his heart. A servant stood respectfully not far away from him.

Many people already know that Baron Charles's aristocratic title was bought. Since Zhang Feng took out the aristocratic medal, he thought his identity would not be fake, so the servant naturally dared not pass it.

Crunch ~

The gate of the castle slowly opened, and a beautiful figure first came into view.

A simple and wide white linen robe covered her tall figure. Her high-rolled golden hair looked very dignified and noble. Her face was serious and cold, but the few curly hairs hanging from her temples added a hint of natural charm to her, so that she didn't look so strange.

However, what attracted Zhang Feng the most was her blue eyes, which were clear and pure, as if it was a clear spring, making people involuntarily want to immerse themselves in it.

"gentlemen?"

It was not until Caroline's delicate earlobes turned slightly pink that Zhang Feng reacted, quickly looked away, coughed twice to resolve the embarrassment.

"Ahem, that's right, hello, my name is Zhang Feng. I just bought the title of Charles. From now on, I will be the new city lord of Red Leaf City. Should it be fine?"

Zhang Feng took out the noble medal that originally belonged to Baron Charles and a lot of contracts.

"Of course...no problem."

The medal is true and the contract is true. Caroline has no qualification to deny it.

"I've met the city lord."

"I've met the city lord."

Two knights behind Caroline knelt on one knee to pay homage to the new city lord.

Only then did Zhang Feng realize that there were two people behind him.

The two knights were tall and looked one head taller than Zhang Feng, probably 1.9 meters tall. They were wearing silver armor, helmets, and swords around their waists. They were so majestic, and they felt a sense of security just by looking at them.

All three were secretly observing the strangely dressed new city lord.

"Hello, get up."

Zhang Feng quickly helped the two of them up politely.

But his small action surprised everyone present.

Marlow quickly got up without waiting for Zhang Feng to help him. Baker slowed down half a beat, but he also got up quickly. They never thought that a noble would personally support them!

After all, the knights are just a high-level civilian, and they are two different classes from the nobles. The aristocrats are engraved in their bones. This is the first time they have seen a noble like Zhang Feng, and they are at a loss for a moment.

Caroline's eyes lit up. Zhang Feng's small move made Caroline feel that the new city lord might not be that difficult to get along with.

"From today, I will be the lord of Hongye City. I hope I can cooperate happily in the future."

Zhang Feng quickly got into the state. Isn’t he just a city lord? After all, we are also college students in the new century. Standing on the shoulders of countless giants, can’t we be a city lord well?

"My name is Ma Luo, my name is the leader of the Knights of Red Leaf City."

Marlow took off his knight's helmet and revealed a weather-filled face.

"My Lord, my name is Baker, Marlow is my boss!"

Baker also took off his helmet, with a terrifying scar on his face, but his expression was very shy.

Zhang Feng was very satisfied with the two. Most of the people in the city were thin and short, but fortunately his knight was not.

Seeing that both of them had introduced themselves, Zhang Feng looked at Caroline.

Caroline bit her lip and said in a somewhat uneasy tone:

"My Lord, my name is Caroline...yes, it is the wife of the late Baron Charles..."

It turned out to be the previous baubles!

After knowing Caroline's identity, Zhang Feng looked away without hesitation. After all, he was the widow of the former city lord, so he should not look at him inappropriately, and he should not look at him inappropriately.

"Please come in."

Caroline, who looked a little unnatural, took Zhang Feng and two knights into the castle.

She originally wanted to take Zhang Feng to visit the castle first. After all, the castle is very large. It is not only a living place for nobles and knights, but also the last fortress used to defend against the enemy. It is a building with both military and civilian functions.

But Zhang Feng refused for the time being. He learned from Pan Xi that the current situation in Hongye City seems to be not very good, so we need to know first.

"Put the rest aside first, I want to understand the specific situation of Hongye City now."

Zhang Feng sat in the main seat of the hall, listening to the Knight Marlowe report on the current situation in Hongye City.

"There is not much food in Hongye City at present. Even if the wheat that is about to be harvested is added, according to the current 1,321 people in Hongye City, they can last for up to one month..."

"Almost all the people in the city hall have left. They are all Charles' team. Charles is gone, and they all have left. Not only that, they have also taken away a lot of supplies..."

"But these people also took some of the servants away, which can be regarded as reducing part of our expenses in Hongye City in disguise. This is the only good news..."

Marlow shrugged with a bitter smile.

Originally, this kind of thing should have been reported by the city hall, but now there are no one left, so Marlow has to come and play a guest appearance.

Listening to Ma Luo's narration, Zhang Feng realized that the troubles in Hongye City were even greater than he had imagined.

He has learned that the winter in this world is extremely difficult. Every winter, some people die, either freezing or starving to death. This is still the case of food storage. Now the grain warehouse is empty, which is even more difficult.

However, since he is already the lord of Hongye City, Zhang Feng feels obliged to let his people live a good life.

"Baron Charles should have left behind his relics or property during his lifetime, right? Now it's mine, right?"

Zhang Feng asked suddenly.

If Charles had left a small vault or something, it might have solved his urgent problem. He looked at Caroline, who had been standing next to him and had not spoken.

Caroline's mood, which had finally calmed down, suddenly became fluctuating again. She bit her lip and lowered her head, not knowing how to answer. She went from red from the earlobe to the root of her ear until her little face turned red, but she couldn't say a word.

When I ask you, you are blushing! Can you still communicate well?

Zhang Feng complained wildly in his heart.

Suddenly, Zhang Feng was stunned, and then he showed an expression of ecstasy on his face, but he was concealed in an instant. The other three of them lowered their eyes and did not notice the change in Zhang Feng's expression.

The door in Zhang Feng’s mind was opened!

“Does it mean I can go back?”

If he could really go back, Zhang Feng would not want to stay in this backward and ignorant era. Even if he is a noble now, is it not delicious in modern food? Is it not delicious in the Internet? Why do you suffer yourself!

"Ahem, let's stop here today. If you discuss it again, I'll go home first."

Zhang Feng didn't need their consent and just ran away. After all, these three people only knew each other. If he didn't go back after the experiment and some difficult-to-explained situations would be very troublesome. He didn't want to expose his secrets, and his big house was still reliable.

"Master Lord..."

Looking at Zhang Feng who was leaving in a hurry, Caroline's face turned pale in an instant.

Her own hesitation just now seemed to anger the city lord!

In any case, Zhang Feng is now the supreme leader of Hongye City. If you want to get Hongye City to overcome the difficulties, the city lord is crucial.
