I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 148
[Chapter 148 Arrival at Fengming Town]
A few days later, Yu Bu finally arrived in the southern part of the Bauhinia Empire.
Looking at the somewhat desolate scene in front of him, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Although I have been mentally prepared, but… this Fengming Town is too desolate.”
While thinking, Yu Bu walked forward.
Instead of continuing in the carriage, he chose to walk.
He wanted to know more about the territory he was about to take over.
The coachmen did not dare to continue driving the carriage, so they landed one after another and followed Yu Bu’s footsteps.
The roads around are made of loess. There is no greenery on both sides of the road, but only farmland.
Because Yu Bu was in the eastern part of Dragon Island, he had some knowledge of planting.
However, when he saw the somewhat desolate farmland, he kept shaking his head.
Now is autumn, the harvest time of the year.
Logically speaking, farmers who are busy with farming seasons should all have a look of joy on their faces.
But along the way, he found that the farmers in the fields all looked somewhat numb.
Although they were a little concerned about the sudden appearance of strangers, most of them just took a look and then continued to do their own things.
After all, Fengming Town is close to the border, and from time to time there are merchants passing by here and heading to Baiye Kingdom.
So at this time, Yu Bu was naturally regarded as such an existence.
Yu Bu watched all this, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
He found that there was very little wheat in the fields, and many places were even bare.
“It’s more barren than I thought.”
This was Yu Bu’s first impression of Fengming Town.
He no longer dared to imagine what the scene would be like after entering the town.
“It will only get worse.”
Yu Bu sighed softly and continued to move forward.
Not long after, Yu Bu and his party crossed a large area of farmland and officially arrived at the intersection of Fengming Town.
Looking at the tattered wooden sign above his head, with three large crooked words written on it – Fengming Town, Yu Bu felt a bit of a headache.
“It is said that Fengming Town had several baron lords in the past. But they didn’t even repair their own signs.”
Yu Bu shook his head and said nothing, just about to continue walking inside.
Suddenly, a weak voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
“Sir, please register here.”
When he turned around, he saw a pale and skinny young soldier looking at him.
His eyes were a little evasive, but when he saw Yu Bu looking at him, he quickly added.
“Because this place is close to the border, people passing through need to register here.”
Hearing this, Yu Bu suddenly understood.
The borderlands are extremely important.
In addition to the fortress at the border, Fengming Town naturally also has a checkpoint.
However, looking at the young soldier in front of him, Yu Bu couldn’t help but be speechless.
They are so skinny that even if someone really causes trouble, the other party will be unable to fight back.
As he thought about it, he shook his head.
Afterwards, Yu Bu directly took out the order to seal the life.
“I am Yubu Lorraine, the new baron of Fengming Town.”
After these words were spoken, the soldier was stunned for a moment, then his mouth opened and his eyes widened.
“You…you are the new Baron Lorraine.”
After saying this, he seemed to react and hurriedly saluted Yu Bu.
However, due to malnutrition, he almost fell to the ground in panic.
Yu Bu was quick to grab his arm and pull him up.
“Ah… Baron, I’m sorry!”
The young soldier panicked.
The minds of these nobles were unpredictable, and he was afraid of being punished for doing this.
