Chapter 1 The prosperous red leaf city
The sky is hazy and the drizzle is continuous.
On the muddy road, an old horse pulled the mottled carriage and left two deep ruts.
A shabby shed was built from a pile of messy goods on the carriage, barely covering Zhang Feng lying in the middle of the goods.
The raindrops followed the hole on the top and fell mercilessly on Zhang Feng's face. He tightened the broken blanket with a bad smell on his body, and sighed helplessly.
In this bad environment, sleeping has become a luxury.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. The road is bumpy, which has disturbed your sleep. Please forgive me, I'll be careful."
The coachman in shabby linen heard the movement behind him, and quickly pulled the reins to slow down the horse. Then he turned around and revealed a brown-haired and blue-eyed face. His apology was like the folds of his face, and he couldn't melt.
"It's okay, how long will it take?"
Zhang Feng waved his hand awkwardly. He was not used to the other party's awe from the bottom of his bones.
The rain has been falling for two days, and Zhang Feng has been bumping on the road for two days. Now he just wants to find a warm and comfortable hotel, have a bite of hot rice, take a hot shower and have a good night's sleep.
"At our current speed, we will be there in about half a day."
The coachman quickly replied that he had been walking this road for decades and was very familiar with it.
"Can you hurry up? Please trouble you."
Zhang Feng threw the broken blanket aside with disgust, revealing the light green jacket, stretched out, and suddenly a cold wind blew, which made Zhang Feng shivering.
He looked at the blanket at his feet and fell into trouble.
"Of course, it's my honor to serve you!"
The coachman grinned, revealing a mouthful of green and yellow teeth, then whipped the horse's butt, and the old horse neighed and trotted, splashing mud and water all over the floor.
"Bang, bang..."
On the shaking carriage, Zhang Feng grabbed the blanket with difficulty, pinched his nose and draped it on himself again. He prayed silently - before arriving in Hongye City, he hoped that the carriage would not fall apart.
"Uncle, let's talk about the situation in Hongye City."
Anyway, I can't sleep. Zhang Feng wants to learn more about the situation in this world. It is important to know yourself and your enemy.
"Okay sir!"
The coachman organized the language and said:
"Red Leaf City is the territory of Baron Charles. Of course, it is not just the Red Leaf City, but also the road we are taking now. The villages around Red Leaf City, farmlands, and the Black Rock Forest in the north are all owned by Baron Charles..."
"Red Leaf City is one of the largest cities in the Sunset Mountains. It is a place that many civilians yearn for. However, although Red Leaf City is big, it is not that simple to live in Maple Leaf City..."
"I can't say how big Hongye City is. It's big anyway. Its city walls are all built with hard black stones. No wild beast can surpass half a step. Living in Hongye City, you will never be awakened by wild beasts in the middle of the night. It took several years to build this city wall..."
"There are many shops in Hongye City, only you can't imagine, and nothing you can't buy! The merchants nearby are proud to be able to open shops in Hongye City. I dream of owning a shop of my own..."
"The most commendable thing in Red Leaf City is Baron Charles' castle. This castle is the most gorgeous and safest building in Red Leaf City. The entire castle is made of black stone! It is a great honor for civilians like me to take a look at it at a close distance! The castle is even more gorgeous. It is said that the tableware used by the lords are carved from crystals, the ground is covered with carpets sewn with gold wire, and the walls are decorated with gold coins and silver coins..."
"In addition to the barons, there are naturally noble knights in Red Leaf City. They have the sharpest swords, the strongest armor, and the strongest war horses... With the protection of the Knight Master, no one dares to make trouble in the Baron's territory..."
“There are still…”
Listening to the coachman's continuous narrative, a magnificent and exotic Red Leaf City was formed in Zhang Feng's mind.
Zhang Feng, who lives in a modern metropolis, still yearns for such a prosperous city similar to the medieval era.
Zhang Feng was a little looking forward to it.
When the coachman saw Zhang Feng listening carefully, he immediately said harder. These things that were familiar to them could attract the attention of a "noble" and made the coachman very happy.
Zhang Feng didn't know that he had been regarded as a nobleman.
"I heard that Baron Charles's wife is a woman as beautiful as an elf. Any woman will feel ashamed of herself before her. She is also a descendant of a noble family, knowledgeable and kind-hearted, and only Baron Charles can match her..."
" Speaking of Baron Charles, he is also a legendary figure! He has managed Red Leaf City in an orderly manner in just three months after taking office!"
"Huh, Baron Charles has only been in office for three months?"
"Yes, Red Leaf City was the territory of another baron before, but the Baron was choked to death because he was eating. Red Leaf City could not be without a master for a day. Later, this territory belonged to Baron Charles."
"Wow, this is really unlucky!"
Zhang Feng lamented that things in the world are impermanent and that they can choke to death even if they eat...
Alas? It seems that I am not much better than that. I just resigned and climbed the mountain with a few hikers. I accidentally traveled to this place where birds don’t poop.
Yes, Zhang Feng is a time traveler.
Although there was a strange door in my mind, Zhang Feng couldn't open it even though he tried his best.
The only thing that I am so relieved is that I seem to be born to understand the language of this world, be able to communicate with people normally, and will not stare at others.
Zhang Feng touched the backpack behind him. This was some modern food prepared for travel. According to the current technological level, this is a world of backward technology. Scarcity is precious, and perhaps these foods can become their first pot of gold.
Let’s go to Hongye City first. It sounds like Hongye City is still very good. If there is no accident, Zhang Feng will settle in Hongye City.
Not long after, wheat fields began to appear, and the golden ears of wheat made people feel much better.
Some farmers were working in the fields with horses or cattle. They saw Zhang Feng, who was dressed obviously differently from them, looked at him curiously, but when Zhang Feng looked back, they lowered their heads in fear.
Zhang Feng smiled friendly at them, but scared the farmers very much, making Zhang Feng very embarrassed.
The coachman did not notice these details, and still introduced Hongye City to Zhang Feng.
The rain gradually became lighter, and there were many houses in front of them, mostly wooden structures, and a small number of adobe houses, which looked similar to the rural hometown in another world more than ten years ago.
"I have seen the village now. I guess I will arrive at Red Leaf City in no time. I don't know if I can see Baron Charles..."
Zhang Feng was a little excited to think that he could see the most prosperous Red Leaf City in another world later, and even the nobles in another world.
"Sir, we are here, and Hongye City is ahead."
The coachman slowed down the speed of the car and said respectfully to Zhang Feng.
"Hmm? Arrive? Where is Hongye City?"
Zhang Feng looked around with some confusion. He saw no other gathering place except the village ahead?
"Sir, there is Red Leaf City ahead."
The coachman pointed to the "village" in front of him and said.
“??”
Zhang Feng felt like he had misunderstood something.
