Become the city lord from today

Thirty kilometers away from Xiyang City, a group of merchants are advancing, and their target is Xiyang City.

"It’s finally time to return to Xiyang City." Yingya sighed. He had been wanting to return to Xiyang City since the lord of Xiyang City came up with new salt and was forced to sell salt in other cities.

Now he has sold out all the salt and can't find a place to buy it. He had heard that the pirates along the coast were very ferocious. There were more than a dozen groups of big pirates hovering in the coastal areas, coming ashore to rob from time to time. Many coastal cities no longer go to the sea, and sea salt is no longer sold inland.

Such a situation , causing the price of salt to keep rising, and also allowed Yingya to make a good profit. Now when he returned to Xiyang City, he saw that Xiyang City was undergoing great changes before leaving, and he heard other businessmen praising Xiyang City from time to time. , which made him want to return to Xiyang City for retirement.

"Tap tap tap……"

The horses pulled three carriages forward on the muddy road, and the wheels got stuck in the mud puddles from time to time. The coldest winter has passed, and the breath of spring has arrived.

The snow is already melting, and Ying Ya is not surprised. The winter in this western land comes strangely and fiercely, and retreats strangely and quickly.

Yingya could especially feel that the temperature was slowly rising these days, and he was wearing one less piece of clothing than last time. He estimated that the snow would completely melt in a few days, and the areas downstream of the Youshui River would be dangerous.

"Alas, I don’t know how many more people will drown this year."Yingya sighed.

The reason why he returned to Xiyang City now was because he was afraid of major floods caused by the melting of the snow. However, it was the safest to return to Xiyang City where the terrain was relatively high.

"Chirping……"

There was a muffled sound, and the carriage got stuck in the mud again. This time, the draft horses couldn't pull it up, and some of the guys fell off the carriage.

"Damn it, I should have known better by taking the water route. Yingya was extremely angry and shouted quickly,"Hurry, pull up the carriage quickly, otherwise we won't be able to reach Xiyang City in the afternoon.""

"yes."The guys responded in unison, holding wooden sticks and starting to pry the wheels.

"Sir, you won't encounter horse thieves here, right?"A waiter asked worriedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is not far from Xiyang City, and no stupid horse thief will be active nearby. Ying

Ya glared and reprimanded,"Xiyang City has killed horse thieves before. How come this horse thieves dare to come?""

"Tap tap tap……"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard not far away. Yingya's face froze and he became nervous instantly. There couldn't really be such a stupid horse thief, right?

"Sir, there is only the sound of a horse's hooves."A shrewd fellow shouted

"Huh...that's good, that's good."Yingya breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the road behind him.

"Huh? An orc was driving the car." shouted the sharp-eyed guy

"Orcs?"Yingya raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: Could it be that the city had received news of the orcs, and then came to defect to Xiyang City?

The carriage running in the distance also spotted Ya and the others, and slowly slowed down, as a refreshing and soft voice came from the carriage. ,"Jones, has Xiyang City arrived?"

"There is someone in front."Jones made a face, put her hand into the finger blade sheath, and stared at the person in front of her with her red eyes.

"Huh? Are they the ones chasing us? Princess Lucy poked her head out of the carriage and asked in surprise,"Didn't you get rid of them already?""

"Is a businessman."After careful observation, Jones took her hand out of the finger cot. With her eyesight, she could still tell whether it was someone in disguise.

"merchant? Then it’s time to ask for directions, so you don’t go the wrong way again."Princess Lucy said in surprise.

It has been almost two months since they set out from the royal capital. With the speed at which they traveled lightly, they should have reached Xiyang City very quickly, but they took the wrong way, and now there are still on the road

"……"Jones remained silent. She was indeed led the wrong way. We can only drive the carriage and continue moving forward until we reach the merchant.

"Hello sir, how do I get to Xiyang City?"Princess Lucy spoke first

"oh?"Yingya raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, he guessed it right. He quickly said,"We are also going to Xiyang City. If you don't mind, you can follow us."

"That's great."Princess Lucy chuckled, walked out of the carriage, and sat next to Jones.

"Well, the carriage is up."At this time, the guys also pulled the carriage out of the mud pit.

"Set off." Yingya shouted loudly

"yes."The men drove the carriage forward

"Jones, spring has arrived."Princess Lucy looked at the trees on the roadside. Some dead trees had already sprouted buds.

"Um!"Jones responded coldly, her red eyes staring at those people warily. She did not dare to let down her guard at all outside. It was precisely because of this that they escaped from the eldest prince's men.

"Miss, are you going to Xiyang City for fun? Yingya asked tentatively, glancing at the cold-faced orc. Two such beautiful girls dared to walk outside. They must have some special abilities.

"Yes, we were introduced to Xiyang City by our friends."Princess Lucy responded softly.

"So that's it."Yingya nodded. He saw that the other party was more wary, so he stopped talking.

"Tap tap tap……"

Two hours later, Yingya, Princess Lucy and Jones were not far from Xiyang City, and they also encountered soldiers patrolling Xiyang City.

There are three land routes leading to Xiyang City, and each road is equipped with checkpoints, which are used for preliminary review and early warning.

"Are you businessmen?" asked the inspecting soldier, scanning the crowd with sharp eyes, but did not see a large number of weapons.

"Yes, I am a businessman." Yingya responded quickly,"I stayed in Xiyang City before, and now I'm back."

"Go ahead."The soldier said indifferently, holding on to the Tang sword with one hand.

"Thanks." Yingya breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the boy to drive the carriage forward. He thought he would have to give coins.

Jones's red eyes narrowed slightly. These dozen knights were not simple. They stood in a position where they could attack and retreat. The kind of guard, and a knight standing in the distance is holding the horse rope with one hand. It is obvious that if there is a problem, he will report it immediately.

"Orcs?"When the soldier saw Jones, he chuckled and said,"Xiyang City welcomes you."

The soldiers have all received orders not to create trouble when they find orcs heading to Xiyang City.

"Well……"Jones was stunned. When did humans become so friendly to orcs?

"Tap tap tap……"

Jones frowned and drove the carriage through the checkpoint. She turned and looked back at the knight at the checkpoint. Who trained this knight?

"Jones, I am looking forward to Xiyang City even more."Princess Lucy said softly. She also heard the knight's welcome words just now.

"Hope it's not fake."Jones said coldly, her red eyes flashing.
