Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 90: Impractical Idea

Chapter 90: Impractical Idea

Lyan fumbled and caught the sheepskin scroll. He swallowed, opened the sheepskin scroll, and quickly read it. The more he read, the more his eyes widened. After he finished reading, he froze, and the sheepskin scroll fell from his hands onto the ground.

No wonder no wonder so thats why Omar made a good scheme! Lyan said bitterly. He finally understood why Omar had stripped him of his title of a knight and made things hard for him. It was because Omar knew Lyans personality and was afraid that Lyan would ruin his plan.

It was also because of Lyans personality that Omar had sent Lyan to send the letter, as he knew that Lyan would not peek at the letter and would definitely give the letter to Carter. Lyan didnt suspect anything as he thought it was just the usual communication between cities and sales of things, as he had done this for Omar many times.

He hadnt expected that the sheepskin scroll would contain the horse thieves plan and the stuff that Omar wanted Carter to do. Their target was Bei Feng City and Xi Yang City. It was basically saying that Omar was the leader of the horse thieves.

However, Liu Feng was the one who got the letter. It was as if the Goddess of Fate was looking over him. This was also something that Omar and Lyan had never expected to happen.

Lyan started to sweat intensely. He said anxiously, Lord City Lord, I really dont know anything. Im just someone ordered to deliver the letter. Lyan now knew that the person in front of him wasnt Carter- as long as they werent an idiot, anyone in that position could figure that out. Lyan could easily guess what had happened to Carter.

Mr. Lyan, do you think I should believe you after reading that letter? Liu Feng said. What a surprise. Not only did I find out the leader of the horse thieves, I also got to know their plan. This incident made Liu Feng realize how important intelligence was.

This Lyan didnt know what to say. As long as they werent an idiot, anyone that saw the detailed letter would think that he was part of it. The hot-tempered ones would have already told people drag him out to be beheaded.

Sieze the two of them and put them in the dungeon. Dont let them out without my orders, Liu Feng said.

Understood!

Lyan was silent. He knew that there was nothing he could do and one of two things would happen to him: he would either get killed, or he would be made into a slave.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

People soon came to take Lyan and his servant to the dungeon. As for when they would get out, well, that was up to Liu Feng.

Very interesting! Liu Feng said, taking the sheepskin scroll that Mina had picked up. Who would have thought there would be such a coincidence.

Young Master, what do you plan to do? Mina asked with a military knife in her hand. Do you want me to go and get that Omars head?

This is just the opening price. Wait for them to bargain. Get them to at least agree to 2 medium-sized ships, Liu Feng said.

Got it, I will tell them that, Niu Ben said, nodding. He just needed to know what the bottom line was, even though he didnt really think that Bei Feng City would be willing to pay 2 medium-sized ships.

The corner of Liu Fengs mouth rose. This was basically sending things to his doorstep. Besides, his mines were short on people, and the horse thieves would basically be free miners.

As for Bei Feng City, well, they definitely couldnt stop the horse thieves. Liu Feng was plotting for more than just the 2 ships.

It seems like we have to rebuild Xi Yang Citys dock. We need to expand it by a few times, Liu Feng muttered. What if we redirect the rivers path so that its right next to Xi Yang City? No, we dont have enough laborers right now. Then its probably better to just expand the city to the side of the river. Then well need more cement and rebar. Four months during winter

Niu Bens eyes grew wider and wider as he listened. He was shocked by Liu Fengs crazy and impractical idea.

Translators Notes:

The author didnt specifically say who, but Im 99% sure its Omar and not Bei Feng City.

I think Ill be able to get the next chapter out within 2 hours. Im currently debating whether or not to change the city names. This is what Im considering:

Xi Yang City West Sun City

Bei Feng City North Wind City

Lie Ma City Blazing Horse City

Should I go through with the name changes or keep the current city names?

Heres an actual name change:

Baron Omar Oma
