Chapter 120: The Dumfounded Merchants From the Capital
It was foggy early in the morning.
A medium-sized sailboat came out of the fog, followed by a dozen more medium-sized and small sailboats.
Tory and Niu Wu were standing on the deck of the first sailboat.
Mr. Niu Wu, it seems that we are almost inside West Sun Citys territory, Tory said, stretching his waist. He licked his lips as he thought about the food in West Sun City. Were finally going to arrive after traveling for the whole night.
Niu Wu looked at Tory strangely. Why do you seem like youre really looking forward to going to West Sun City?
Yeah, were about to arrive. Ill have to leave again at noon, so I hope that I can make it. For a split second, a smile was on his face. He had completed his mission well- unexpectedly well. He glanced at Tory. I didnt expect there to be this many merchants going to West Sun City. They seemed to have been brought here by Mr. Tory. I hope that this isnt a conspiracy or something like that.
Tory nodded. He hadnt expected that Liu Feng would have the horse thieves attack plan and that his father would immediately agree to his request of going to West Sun City. His father didnt ask why and just told him to urge Liu Feng to send out people to help North Wind City. I dont know why, but I feel relaxed and am looking forward to whats happening next, Tory said, smiling.
What, do you want to permanently stay and live in West Sun City. Niu Wu thought that the idea was ridiculous and quickly discarded it. Mr. Tory, did you call over those merchants?
Yeah! I bought some things back from West Sun City and resold them to the merchants. And now, theyre coming along with us to West Sun City, Tory said.
Huh? Niu Wu hadnt expected that to be the reason.
No need to be surprised. Anyone that went to West Sun City would attract more people to go to West Sun City, especially those disgusting merchants that smell of copper coins. Tory had a weird feeling as he felt like he was talking about himself.
Indeed, I agree with that point. Niu Wu thought about how fast West Sun City was changing. Everyone was extremely motivated for work, and it was like it was a different place every day.
The two of them stood there quietly, looking at the slowly fading fog and the rising sun.
More than half an hour later, the fog completely disappeared, and the scene in the distance attracted their attention.
Huh? Young Master Tory rarely praises people. This made me really curious about the noble in this territory, Solo said. He was really good at communicating with people and making others feel good.
Ha ha ha ha Tory laughed. You will feel the same way I do when you meet Lord Liu Feng.
Solo was a bit dumbfounded. He had known Tory for quite a while and had never seen him worship someone so much before.
Niu Wu, who had been listening on the side, tried to hold in his laughter. For some reason, hearing others praise Liu Feng made him proud.
Were here. Lets get on shore, Niu Wu said. He was the first one to jump off of the boat.
I cant wait to go into the city. Tory looked at his wife and son and waved to a carriage driver at the side. Rental carriage, over here!
The carriage driver drove the carriage over. Guest, it costs three steel coins per person to ride in the carriage
Tory smiled. This isnt my first time here. You dont need to tell me that.
Okay! Ill help you carry your stuff, the carriage driver said, helping the servants carry the stuff onto the carriage.
Just like that, Tory left in the carriage, leaving behind a group of dumfounded merchants.
What happened?
Translators Notes:
It doesnt explicitly say in this chapter, but I am fairly certain that he only has one son. Unless my memory is failing me again.
Exam tomorrow. Bye.
