Listening quietly to the chatter in the lobby of the inn, the steward and the head guard glanced at each other and smiled softly without saying a word.
As vassals of Zhenbei Gongfu, they naturally know more and more detailed information than these uninformed outsiders.
Who is the feudal lord of Feihujing, but the third young master of the palace?
After enjoying a delicious meal, the two returned to the courtyard where they lived, sat down on a random chair, and waited for the waiter to bring tea before they started chatting.
"It seems that the third young master is doing a good job here on Feihu Trail!"
"Of course it's good. It only took just three years to successfully master the Flying Fox Trail, and its influence also covered the barbarian territory outside the Great Wall. This kind of ability is quite impressive!"
"By the way, the third young master has been struggling here on Feihu Trail for so long, how come he hasn't encountered any trouble?"
"Why, what kind of trouble do you think the third young master will encounter?"
"That's not what I mean. I naturally hope that the third young master's life will be better and better, but it just feels quite strange!"
"I must have encountered trouble, but we little people are not qualified to know about it!"
"That's right. The third young master's talent in management is quite impressive. It can stir up troubles in a remote place like Feihu Trail!"
"It's natural. How prosperous the Valley Manor was back then, and the current Flying Fox Trail is much better than the original Valley Manor!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you guy. If it reaches the ears of the second young master, you will be in trouble!"
"I'm just saying casually. I want to take a good look at this trip to the Flying Fox Trail. I haven't been here for half a year!"
"..."
Resting for one night at the entrance of Feihu Trail, the caravan cheered up the next day and entered Feihu Trail along the walled city guarding the entrance.
The compact and smooth pavement, the spacious road, and the tall and straight trees on both sides all prove that this is not a so-called mountain path at all.
A group of about twenty horse-drawn carriages walked smoothly and steadily on the well-paved road, and there were even many gaps for other caravans to pass by.
"Didn't you say that the Flying Fox Trail is just a rugged mountain path?"
The steward had a question mark on his face, so he called the guard leader who had walked past several times and asked curiously: "Is this road very wide? Even if the army can walk on it, it won't be a problem!"
"The third young master has never forgotten to widen the Flying Fox Trail since he became the lord. It is normal to see such obvious changes in three years!"
The guard leader smiled and said: "This is not a good place for marching, whether it is for the barbarians outside the Great Wall or the Northland. The logistics line is too long, and no one can withstand such staggering consumption!"
"What about the small group of elite troops?"
Being in charge is not for free. As a vassal of the government, he is well-informed and has a certain understanding of the military.
"Can a small group of elite troops be able to withstand the attack of the Third Young Master and his elite men?"
We talked and laughed all the way. The five-hundred-mile mountain road did not take us long, but it took us a day and a half to complete it.
This is because the caravan does not move very fast. If the caravan is driven at a faster pace, it can be completed in less than a day.
It has to be said that Feihu Trail’s three-year unremitting road construction has already seen very obvious results.
Along the way, the caravan met many fellow travelers, which is the best proof.
After leaving the Flying Fox Trail and entering the territory outside the Great Wall, the scene here shocked the first-time steward.
At the exit, there is a huge plain valley. At this time, the valley is close to the exit, and a large city has been built.
They were not in a hurry to enter the city, but first wandered around several markets outside the city to get a good feel for the unique bustling scene here.
After the courtyard and warehouse were rented and properly taken care of by his men, the steward entered the city together with the guard leader.
The city is not large in area, but it is neatly planned, the ground is clean and tidy, and the atmosphere is quite comfortable.
There are obviously not many residents in the city, and most of the people walking on the streets are people dressed as businessmen. The atmosphere of the two main commercial streets is quite good, and business is also very prosperous.
What made the steward a little curious was that it was easy to understand that the two commercial streets were close to the city gate, but when he wanted to go deep into the city's hinterland, he was stopped by the patrol sergeant.
When it became clear that only the city residents' identification number plates could enter the city's residential areas and various public places, although the steward was not very happy, he had no intention of doing anything arrogant.
The main reason is that the blocking sergeants all have strong auras and look like they are not easy to mess with. The guard leader next to him looks honest and responsible, which really doesn't provide much confidence.
"I said, what's wrong with you?"
When leaving, the manager was very unhappy and said angrily: "You are a master of energy transformation, do you need to be so cautious?"
"My abilities are nothing!"
The guard leader said helplessly: "The team led by the sergeants who blocked us just now is stronger than me, and the other sergeants are not much worse than me!"
"No way?"
The steward was startled, his eyes widened and he said suspiciously: "They are just ordinary patrol sergeants, how could they be so exaggerated?"
"It's so exaggerated!"
The leader of the guard said depressedly: "You don't know that the men under the third young master are notoriously elite and powerful. They are all very strong. They are all elite in the northern frontier army!"
Seeing that the manager didn't believe him, he said angrily: "The third young master is very generous. He has already relaxed the restrictions on high-level military hard skills and mid-level internal martial arts. You can practice them as long as you pay a certain price!"
Speaking of this, he said with envy: "In addition to producing specialties outside the Great Wall, this place is also an important source of elixirs in the North. As the saying goes, those who are near the water are first served, and it is difficult to imagine whether the soldiers here are powerful!"
The steward smacked his tongue, he didn't expect that there were such ways.
As he walked towards his temporary residence, he said softly: "No wonder the second young master sent me here to take a closer look at everything here. That's it!"
The guard leader didn't make a sound, but he was very disapproving in his heart...
The second young master is still more suitable for development in the military. As for the ability to manage the manor, he is still far behind, at least far behind the third young master.
Valley Manor, which was developing rapidly in the hands of the third young master, has declined greatly in less than three years in the hands of the second young master. The current situation is not very good.
By the way, the third young master has been driven to a remote place like Feihu Trail, so the second young master should be completely relieved.
Even if he knew that the third young master was developing well, Feihu Trail was a fiefdom expressly awarded to the third young master by the imperial court. The second young master had no ability to snatch it, and he didn't know how to investigate it?
Is it possible that the second young master still wants to snatch the third young master’s fiefdom and property?
