Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 89: Error in Intelligence

Chapter 89: Error in Intelligence

Lyan heard the coachmans answer and frowned. Giving people rides in carriages for money and making steel coins are really good ideas. Whoever thought of these ideas must be a genius.

Along the way, Lyan could see many citizens carrying wood and stones with smiles on their faces. It surprised him as most of the time, he could only see those smiles when they were harvesting their crops.

This made Lyan curious, dispelling the resentment that he had when he first arrived. Well, Im not very welcome in Lie Ma City anyways, and its not that bad to take a stroll once in a while, I guess.

He touched the letter that he had been carrying, which Baron Omar had told him to give to Carter. Isnt Carter the noble that lived in Lie Ma City for about half a month and then returned to Xi Yang City? Didnt he sell his territory and noble title? Why did he come back to Xi Yang City? Did he get his noble title and territory back?

Due to the War Wolves handling ability and how hard it was for information to travel in this world, news of Carter and Fezs deaths never got out. As such, Baron Omar thought that Carter and Fez had returned to Xi Yang City and had gotten back their noble titles and territory.

Lyan jumped up and down to observe Xi Yang City from the carriage, and his jaw dropped in surprise. Am I in the capital? Lyan muttered.

The road was more than 20 meters wide, and on both sides of the road were neatly built houses.

Lyan had only seen these houses in the capital before, but it took them more than 10 years to build such houses. No matter how he looked at them, the houses in Xi Yang City did not seem to have taken more than 10 years to build.

Do you want to get off here? the coachman asked. He remembered that Liu Feng had told him that people were not allowed to jump off the carriage it was still moving.

Yes, well get off right here, Lyan said, nodding his head.

Lyan and his servant stared at the carriage as it left. They just stood there, confused about what to do next.

Lyans heart sank when he saw what Niu Ben was doing. Only high nobles have these safety checks. But then why? If Carter has the backing of a high noble, there is no need for him to sell his territory and title. Did someone give the wrong news?

The error in intelligence caused Lyan, who had just come to Xi Yang City, to think that Liu Feng was Carter. Lyan hadnt suspected anything when Baron Omar had told him that the name of the noble of Xi Yang City was Carter.

This thing did happen in this world from time to time. After all, the people here relied on messengers that rode on horses to transmit news. Besides, Xi Yang City was a remote place, so news dont really travel out of Xi Yang City very much.

Ha interesting, very interesting. Liu Feng smiled more and more coldly the more he read. After a while, he became silent and stared at Lyan with a strange expression.

Lord City Lord, do you have any orders for me? Lyan asked. He felt that something was wrong, and a sense of crisis hit him.

How pitiful. Are you the pawn that was sent here to his death? Liu Feng asked coldly. He had gotten a big surprise when he read what was on the letter.

I- I dont know what you mean by that, Lord City Lord. Lyans heart sank, and his forehead was full of sweat. Seeing a knife appear in Minas hand, he took a step back out of fear.

Take a look for yourself! Liu Feng said as he threw the sheepskin scroll to Lyan.
