Chapter 166 The city lord is a fool

The three got into the car, and Marlowe and Abe sat outside with the driver very consciously.

Zhang Feng opened the carriage door and saw the scene inside, which surprised him a little.

From the outside, this carriage seems ordinary, that is, it is a little bigger than ordinary carriages, but inside it is extremely luxurious.

Carpets made of exquisite sheepskin, bright colors and delicate textures, fragrant oil lamps, and various foods and fruits...

The most important thing was the woman who was half lying on the rug, Zhang Feng couldn't help but take a second look.

Delia has perfect body curves, where she should be fat, and where she should be thin.

Her figure is the same as her face, like a ripe peach, as if water will come out when pinched.

Facing Zhang Feng's gaze, Delia grabbed the sheepskin blanket calmly, covered her pretty figure, and looked at Zhang Feng with a smile on her face. Her gaze stayed on Zhang Feng's face for a few seconds.

After all, beautiful things will make people linger, no matter men or women.

Zhang Feng withdrew his gaze with some regret, shook the snow on his body at the door, and then got in. As soon as he came in, he asked about two scents, one was an oil lamp made of an unknown animal, and the other was from the other party. Body fragrance.

Zhang Feng still thinks that the second smell is better, after all, it is pure natural and pollution-free.

"Mr. Zhang Feng's gaze... is really annoying!"

Delia said quietly.

Obviously, Zhang Feng's unkind gaze just now made her a little unhappy, but her voice is soft and charming, even if she is angry, it sounds like a kind of enjoyment.

"Everyone has a love of beauty. It's normal to look twice more when you see beautiful things. It's normal."

Zhang Feng wasn't embarrassed either, his eyes had their own thoughts, and Zhang Feng couldn't control them.

Delia didn't get up to greet her, but Zhang Feng was not polite either. He sat down opposite Delia casually, and even picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.

Delia raised her beautiful eyebrows.

Most people in the foreign world don’t eat raw fruit, they all think that eating raw fruit is unhealthy, Delia doesn’t know if it is healthy or not, but she knows that cooked fruit is not very tasty, so she likes to eat raw fruit, I didn't expect Zhang Feng to have such a hobby, which is interesting.

Seeing that Zhang Feng was not talking, Delia said in a soft voice:

"Mr. Zhang Feng, you haven't finished your words just now. I'm looking forward to the follow-up of 'Horse Rental'."

"It's not urgent. By the way, didn't you say that you want to pay? Take out your reward first, and then I will think about how much to say."

Zhang Feng ate another grape, then smiled and replied.

At the same time, he was secretly vigilant in his heart, this Delia is not simple!

She didn't say anything about the luxury carriage, but said that she actually knew Zhang Feng's name, which was a bit surprising.

You must know that Zhang Feng's name only appeared once, and that was when he entered the city to register at the city gate. The hotels here do not have the habit of registering, and his subordinates usually call Zhang Feng an adult. No one asked Zhang Feng's name, and Zhang Feng naturally did not report his family name.

Therefore, if you want to know Zhang Feng's name in such a short time, there are probably three possibilities.

One is that she is a city defense officer of More City. After all, they may have seen the registration list, but Delia's appearance does not match the image of a city defense general, obviously not.

The other was an acquaintance, but Zhang Feng obviously didn't know her.

As for the last possibility, she is working in the City Lord's Mansion.

As the city lord himself, Zhang Feng naturally knows a set of operating rules in the city. If he finds some "characteristic" people,

It must be reported to the city lord's mansion, and then the city lord's mansion can choose whether to report to the city lord.

After all, the flow of people in a normal city is absolutely constant. It is impossible for the city lord to look over everything, otherwise the mayor would have been exhausted. Only some important matters will be decided by the mayor, and other small matters are left to his subordinates.

This Delia knew Zhang Feng's name, and she didn't seem to have any force, so there was a high probability that she was from the City Lord's Mansion.

Being able to settle in the city lord's mansion can basically be regarded as the confidant of the city lord. Both wealth and status are not comparable to ordinary people. This also explains why the other party can own such a luxurious carriage, and even has the capital to talk to him. money business.

No, there should be another possibility!

Zhang Feng suddenly thought, what if the other party is the wife of the city lord? This is not impossible, it can only be said that this city lord is really blessed!

Although Zhang Feng thought a lot, his thoughts were quick, and it all happened in a few moments.

The smile on Zhang Feng's face remained unchanged, and he looked at Delia expectantly.

As long as the other party's reward satisfies him, he doesn't mind talking more.

But obviously, although Delia looked very interested, she was a rational person.

"You speak first, after listening, I will decide how much to pay you!"

Delia also put forward her own conditions. She couldn't understand Zhang Feng's words. There was no reason to pay first.

Although she felt that Zhang Feng seemed to be quite capable in business, but after all, she was willing to pay for it, so how could she pay for it first?

Delia didn't hear the rest of the content, so how did she decide how much to pay? What if it's too much, but it's not worth it, is it possible for her to go back on her word? Impossible, she, Delia, is not a person who breaks her promise!

Moreover, what Zhang Feng said just now, in Delia's opinion, was a little too confident. Why did she pay the reward first, and the other party would consider how much to say.

This is no longer self-confidence, but narcissism.

Although she complained so much in her heart, Delia didn't show it on her face, but looked at Zhang Feng with the same smile.

Then the two stared wide-eyed.

Three seconds later, perhaps because they felt a little naive, the two retreated at the same time.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Feng is really interesting!"

With a charming chuckle, Delia's body trembled uncontrollably. Although she was covered with a blanket, it was still difficult to hide her graceful curves. Zhang Feng glanced subconsciously, and then and again.

What a ripe peach!

Delia never mentioned the follow-up matter of "Horse Rental", but chatted with Zhang Feng about other things.

Zhang Feng was a little uncertain. He didn't know whether the other party had really given up or had other plans, but he was not afraid. Anyway, Zhang Feng would not open his mouth if he didn't give benefits.

In the carriage, cheerful laughter came from time to time.

Delia seemed to have forgotten the purpose of inviting Zhang Feng, and kept chatting with him, mostly about daily trivial matters.

Zhang Feng can naturally cope with it freely, but Zhang Feng always feels that the "daily life" that the other party talks about is a bit fake, or in other words, there is something to show off his wealth.

For example, Delia would inadvertently mention how big her house was and how many servants she had, and even vaguely mentioned that she had a big business in Moore City.

Zhang Feng scoffed at this.

He admitted that Delia might be richer, but definitely not as rich as she said.

The land price in Moore City is not cheap. According to what Di Li said, her house is half the size of Moore City. How is it possible! Leaving aside whether you have the money to buy so much land, it is a question of whether the city lord allows it or not. If it were Zhang Feng, he would not let people build such a large building in Hongye City!

Delia also said that her business is not only well-known in More City, but also well-known outside, and has close trade with many cities.

Zhang Feng couldn't believe it anymore.

As far as Zhang Feng himself is concerned, he dare not say how famous his Red Leaf City is. At most, it is just an enclosure. Of course, this is due to the inconvenient traffic in winter, but it is a fact.

If Delia really has such a big business, let’s not talk about anything else, at least the vision and courage are not comparable to ordinary people. For example, after hearing Zhang Feng’s previous remarks about renting carriages, either start to practice directly, or leave without interest. How can a person like her who wants to get benefits but refuses to pay first, such a preoccupied person, be able to make a big deal.

Thinking that Delia had clearly said that she would pay the reward, Zhang Feng still had some expectation of what the reward would be, but after getting in the car, the other party didn't mention it again. Although Zhang Feng didn't lose anything, he was just a little upset.

Soon, Delia was labeled a "liar" by Zhang Feng, um, no, it should be a "pretty liar".

The distance from the east of the city to the west of the city is not close, even if you take a carriage, you have to sit for a while.

Delia opened the window, and a cold wind blew in, which stopped the chat between the two. Zhang Feng was surprised to see the building not far away through the window.

A large castle appeared outside.

It's really a big piece.

The castle is about six stories high, and such a tall building in another world is already very impressive.

The reason why it is said to be one piece is because this castle is not a castle, but a combination of many castles, the highest of which has six floors, and the lowest has three floors. A castle complex.

Zhang Feng was in the carriage, and he couldn't see the edge of the castle from left to right. One could imagine how huge the castle complex was.

Zhang Feng was surprised the first time he saw this castle complex, but after seeing it clearly, he complained a little, how boring the person who can make this thing is.

These castles are stacked on top of each other, and there is no comfort at all, especially since the sunlight in many castles is blocked, and the sunlight cannot be seen all year round. It is no wonder that the people living here have no problems.

Even if you don't talk about practicality, just talk about beauty, there is no beauty at all, because the styles of these castles are not uniform! It's like being forcibly screwed together.

Although there are various ways to describe beauty, Zhang Feng really can't appreciate such messy and ugly things.

Zhang Feng didn't know what kind of person built this kind of castle, and what was in his mind at the time, but Zhang Feng knew that the other party must not be short of money, and he had the face of a nouveau riche.

Zhang Feng's surprised expression naturally did not escape Delia's eyes, she said casually:

"Mr. Zhang Feng seems surprised?"

"Surely surprised."

"That--"

Before Delia could say her next sentence, Zhang Feng ruthlessly interrupted her.

"What surprised me is how stupid the person who built this castle is!!"

"silly?"

Delia didn't understand.

"You can simply understand it as stupid! Yes, it is stupid!"

Zhang Feng changed to a more popular and straightforward statement.

"stupid?"

Delia was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how those magnificent buildings outside could be connected with "stupid".

"Isn't it stupid? It costs a lot of money to build this kind of castle. Let's not talk about whether it is necessary to waste it. Let's talk about the buildings themselves. What are these things! It's not practical, it's ugly!"

"ugly?"

There were faint pulsating veins on Delia's forehead, and her eyes were filled with unkindness.

It's just that Zhang Feng has been looking at these "ridiculous" buildings and didn't notice them.

"That's right, it's ugly. Tell me, can such messy things be piled up together, can there be beauty? No, not at all! From the perspective of appearance alone, the money spent on building these castles can be spent on In one place, build a bigger and more magnificent castle, don't you think it looks better than this assembled product?"

Facing Zhang Feng's question, Delia took a deep breath and said calmly:

"You are indeed right, but have you ever thought that it is not impossible to build a bigger castle, but it is more difficult and takes longer! Do you know how long it took to build this castle? It’s only been ten years! The palace of our Kingdom of Buck is the kind of castle you mentioned, but as far as I know, the construction of the palace took a full two hundred years, do you still think this castle is ugly?”

After speaking, Delia looked at Zhang Feng with burning eyes.

"ugly!"

It's a pity that another ugly word from Zhang Feng almost broke Delia's defense.

"you……"

"What's wrong with me? It must be built for people to see. I don't believe it. The people who built these castles didn't have the idea of ​​showing off? There must be! Otherwise, just build one that can live by itself. Why do you make so many? !Since people can see it, I can naturally say it.”

Zhang Feng scolded Delia, leaving her speechless, then Zhang Feng continued:

"And your 'mere' scares me a little bit. It took ten years to build such a thing? If it's on my site, I'd have to jump off a building in embarrassment!"

How about the two-hundred-year-old palace, Zhang Feng has never seen it, so I don't comment, but this "castle complex"... I have to say, it is really ugly! And the design is also all kinds of unreasonable.

Even if it is to build a square building, it is much more beautiful than this castle! Moreover, ten years is too long. With steam engines and orcs, Zhang Feng thinks that shortening the time by ten times is not a problem at all.

But Zhang Feng didn't intend to talk so much with Delia, and she couldn't understand him.

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore, you are a layman, and you won't understand even if I tell you."

"..."

Zhang Feng withdrew his gaze, and he chose to let his eyes go.

"By the way, who owns this castle complex? Shouldn't it just be for people to live in?"

Zhang Feng suddenly thought of a question. It is estimated that there are not many people in More City who can own such a large building, or is it jointly built by many people? It also seems possible.

Delia took a deep breath and said slowly:

"The City Lord's Mansion!"

"The City Lord's Mansion?" Zhang Feng was taken aback, but thinking of such a large area, it seems that there is only the City Lord's Mansion. "I had some expectations. What kind of person is their city lord to manage Moore City like this, but now it seems that's the case. He is a fool, a rich fool!"

Listening to Zhang Feng's comment, Delia couldn't bear it anymore.

boom!

The windows are shut tightly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, the ordinary in his hand lost his grip, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"cold."

Delia spoke angrily.

"It's a bit cold. Although your carriage looks pretty good, there are still many deficiencies that need to be improved. For example, the heat preservation problem is not even comparable to my previous second-hand carriage."

Before the appearance of steam cars, Zhang Feng always used the horse-drawn carriage from Hongye City. The old horse-drawn carriage had a second life in Zhang Feng’s hands. Not to mention anything else, it is really good for keeping warm, such as the little secretary. Erika undressed in the heat as soon as she got in the car.

As soon as Erica was mentioned, Zhang Feng's thoughts drifted away. He didn't know what happened to the obedient little secretary who had been out for such a long time, and Caroline, who used to meet each other often and didn't feel anything, but now I haven't seen you for a long time, I still miss you.

Not only the two of them, but also Lin Yulan from another world. Calculating the time, Zhang Feng has not returned to modern times for more than half a month, because his current whereabouts are erratic, Zhang Feng feels that after he travels back, he will wear it back again. , there is a high probability that it will be in the wilderness, so wait until the capital is temporarily stabilized, and then go to report to Lin Yulan that she is safe.

However, after Zhang Feng went back last time, he vaccinated Lin Yulan and said that he would be missing for a while.

In fact, Zhang Feng still feels indebted to Lin Yulan, and even regrets it. He didn't know what was going on at the beginning, and they got together in a daze. Less and more, not even a promise to the other party, thinking about it, Zhang Feng felt that he seemed a bit scum...

Zhang Feng was thinking wildly and fell silent.

Without his poisonous tongue, Delia was finally able to relax.

But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that Zhang Feng's words seemed to... make sense?

"No, I have to ask others when I go back to see if this castle is really that ugly in their eyes!"

"But they probably won't tell the truth... Well, whoever tells a lie, cut off his head."

After several thoughts, Delia decided to let everyone participate in a survey questionnaire.

Neither of them spoke any more, and fell silent.

"The slave market is here!"

Suddenly, the voice of the coachman outside brought Zhang Feng back to his senses. He shook his head and shook off some messy thoughts in his mind, and then saw Delia staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Feng touched his face subconsciously. Apart from being handsome as always, there was nothing else!

"It's nothing, we're here, get out of the car."

Delia looked away, her face was cold, but her voice was still very soft.

"it is good."

Zhang Feng didn't say anything. He got up and was about to get out of the car when Delia suddenly said:

"I haven't said the question you promised, forget it this time, see you next time, I hope you can answer it truthfully, and I will give you a satisfactory reward!"

What do you mean I promised you? Isn't this what I want to say? Can you still manage me?

Zhang Feng was a little speechless. He had learned about women's ability to misunderstand. As for satisfactory remuneration, Zhang Feng didn't take it seriously at all.

"Let's talk about it next time we meet, but I guess there won't be a next time!"

Zhang Feng shrugged. he

He didn't plan to stay in Moore City for too long. After eating the banquet of the city lord, he had to go to the capital after getting to know Moore City. He probably would never see this woman named Delia again.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Delia smiled again, and Zhang Feng was stunned.

After getting out of the car, looking at the carriage going away, Zhang Feng cursed secretly, goblin!

"My lord, where are we going now?"

Marlowe asked aloud.

"The slave market."

Zhang Feng was a little baffled. Looking at the buildings in front of him, he said speechlessly:

"Where is the slave market? Why is there no sign? Could it be that the woman lied to me and threw me halfway?"

"This is the slave market."

Marlowe pointed to the building ahead.

Zhang Feng was a little surprised when he saw the two-story building he was pointing at.

"No way, the slave market is so small? It's too different from the psychedelic hall!"

Knowing that Zhang Feng misunderstood what he meant, Marlow quickly explained:

"No, you misunderstood, it's not that house, but from here, that is, the entire western half of Moore City, is called the slave market!"

"..."

Damn, the slave market is so big? !
