I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 180
[Chapter 180 Contempt]
Although there is some distance between Lanyang City and Fengming Town.
However, with old Tis’s vigorous whipping, the horse went even faster.
A journey that would have taken a whole day was cut in half.
It was evening when we arrived at Fengming Town.
Old Tis stood up from the carriage, looked around, and couldn’t help feeling a little suspicious.
“Strange, why is there no one in the farmland?”
He looked at the large tracts of farmland. Although the harvest this year was extremely poor, at a glance he could see that there was still some wheat that had not been harvested.
Although he still wanted to wait and see, when he thought that Holtu was in the carriage behind him, Old Tis forced himself to suppress the doubts in his heart and drove towards Fengming Town.
When they arrived at the town gate, Holtu suddenly spoke and asked Old Tis to stop the carriage.
“Speaking of which, this is my first time in this town. Let me take a look at the situation in the town first.”
Holtu gave an order and then pulled open the curtain.
Old Tis was quick-eyed and hurried forward to help him down.
After getting off the carriage, Holtu looked around and then frowned.
“Strange, why is there no one here? Have all the residents of Fengming Town fled?”
He was extremely confused and turned around to see that Old Tis was also frowning.
After thinking for a while, he raised his feet and continued walking into the town.
As he walked, Holtu’s brows furrowed more and more.
“Why is this place so barren… Stone houses, wooden houses, are these where people live?”
He raised his hands and fanned himself, a look of disgust on his face.
But when he thought of Rudolf’s order, he forced himself to calm down and turned to Old Tis and said, “Didn’t you say that Baron Fengming was doing construction? Why is it so desolate here?”
Old Tis was startled and said quickly, “Answer Lord Hortu, this is the north of the town, and the land that Baron Fengming expropriated is on the east side of the town.”
“Well, take me there.”
So, Holtu got back on the carriage as he was no longer in the mood to stay any longer.
Prepare to go through a simple formality and then head to Baron Fengming’s manor to demand accountability.
“I originally had some interest in Fengming Town, but I didn’t expect that the rumors are true.”
Holtu kept shaking his head. “It’s even poorer than I thought. It’s like a pigsty!”
He sighed and once again felt the beauty of Lanyang City.
“Alas, after the mining rights of the mine are transferred this time, I never want to come to this broken place again in my life.”
Old Tis also turned around and smiled.
“Yes, sir, this Fengming Town is really not a place for people to live. In the past, there were many residents here, but as time passed, many people have moved away.”
As Old Tis spoke, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Although those people have already moved away, the one who is doing the best is still me, old Tis, right?
As he thought about it, he shifted his gaze again and looked forward.
The next moment, Old Tis’s expression suddenly froze.
He hurriedly stopped the carriage, then rubbed his eyes and stared carefully for a while.
In the carriage, Holtu frowned, pulled open the curtain, and was about to ask Old Tis why he stopped.
But the moment the curtain was drawn, he was also stunned.
“what’s the situation!”
“Where did these houses come from!”
The two of them exclaimed almost at the same time.
At this moment, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.
The stone houses disappeared, the wooden houses also disappeared, and were replaced by a group of black iron buildings.
