Chapter Ninety-Six: Riverbend Town

readx;

In fact, Han Fei didn't think that the Flame Rose Mercenary Regiment stationed in Riverbay Town would be able to solve this rather thorny problem, the population of the entire Riverbend Town was only three or four thousand, and the sudden influx of more than two thousand outsiders could easily break out into conflicts, once it was used by Clarence, I was afraid it would really cause an uncontrollable situation.

In Han Fei's opinion, it was much better for this trouble to appear now than after the mercenary group came. Clarence has been operating in the local area for so many years, and his power is intertwined, and when he is used to the emperor, he must not want to see a lord riding on his head, but he probably does not dare to confront the lord who represents the authority of the kingdom, and he just wants to use these means to win bargaining chips for himself.

However, Han Fei didn't intend to give the other party any bargaining chips, next year he would leave Xi Shui to pursue a higher martial arts path, and the territory would inevitably be handed over to his family to manage, not wanting to leave a little hidden danger of instability.

After chatting with his father and Kalena for a while, Han Fei got up to leave, he just walked out of the study, and happened to meet Han Xin'er who came to deliver tea.

"Ahh

Han Xin'er, who didn't pay attention, almost dropped the tea tray in her hand, but fortunately, Han Fei quickly took it over and said with a smile: "Let the maid at home do these things well in the future!"

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do, I can help a little..."Han Xin'er lowered her head and said softly, but quickly raised it again: "Wait a minute, I'll help my brother rub his back, right?"

As she spoke, a faint flush appeared on her delicate little face, which was really pitiful to me.

Han Fei smiled: "No need, I've already taken a shower, you should go and rest early!"

"Oh..."Han Xin'er lowered her head again in disappointment.

Seeing her appearance, Han Fei couldn't bear it for a while, reached out and grabbed her little hand and said, "Rest early, I'll take you to Hewan Town tomorrow to play." ”

"Really?!" Han Xin'er was overjoyed at once, looking at Han Fei's eyes were shining, and after receiving Han Fei's affirmative answer, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Han Fei smiled dumbly, handed over the tea tray to her and said a few words before leaving, he did not go back to his room to rest, but moved to the guest room where Elder Yibu and the others were staying.

Not surprisingly, Han Weier was also there, and she was naturally very happy to see Han Fei.

Elder Eevee, who had been carefully cared for, was in much better condition than he had been two days ago, and although his spirit was still a little sluggish, he had trimmed his hair and changed his clothes, and the old and dignified priest elder had returned.

Han Fei told the two of them about the battle to wipe out the Blood Wolf Tribe, and in the end, Han Wei'er couldn't help but burst into his arms with tears in her eyes, of course, these tears were the excitement of revenge.

Elder Eevee, who was full of emotion, saluted Han Fei and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Han Fei took the opportunity to propose that he join the Han family with several clansmen, and of course Elder Yibu did not refuse, although they experienced the worst, there was still a good result after all.

......... Early the next morning, Han Fei only took two attendant warriors and Han Xin'er to Hewan Town.

In the early winter, the Xishui City area is far less cold than Sain, and the first snow here in previous years usually does not fall until the New Year's celebration, even if Han Xin'er is weak, wearing a fur-collared dress is enough to keep warm.

The four of them rode three horses lightly, and Han Xin'er shrank into Han Fei's arms [***] and rode it, making her blushing with excitement and happiness.

Hewan Town is not far from Xishui City, and it only takes ten minutes to reach it by riding a fast horse, and Han Fei is not in a hurry to leave, chatting and laughing casually with his two entourage, and moving forward as if he were playing in the mountains and rivers.

The two retinue warriors were transferred by the Egmont City Lord from the city guard to serve in the Han family, according to the usual situation, as long as there are no accidents, they will work in the Han family until they retire, and the two are local people in the hometown, so they are very dedicated to the Han family.

One of the warriors was Ai Lin, whom Han Fei had met at the door when he had just returned home, and he had been to Hewan Town with Han Mutian and knew more about the situation there.

For Han Fei to only take the two of himself and a delicate girl to Riverbend Town, the Warrior of Erin was a little apprehensive, he and his companions were only first-order warriors, and the situation in Riverbend Town was quite complicated, and Clarence's arrogance was something he had witnessed.

However, he didn't think that Clarence dared to do anything to Han Fei, a legitimate lord, attacking the lord was tantamount to rebellion, which was a big crime to be hanged in public.

As the sun rises and the mist lifts away, the mountains, forests, and vast farmland in the distance are clearly visible.

The last season of wheat has already been harvested, now all the fields are completely occupied by winter grass, a lot of cattle and sheep are leisurely gnawing on the field of green grass, winter grass is sown by farmers after harvesting wheat, and it is the best fertilizer to turn it over in the spring.

The beautiful pastoral scenery was undoubtedly refreshing, making Han Fei's heart calm down, and the whole person seemed to be integrated into this natural world.

After nearly half an hour's journey, a small river from the forest, like a jade belt, appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the farms and small towns in the distance were faintly visible.

"Lord Lord, there's Rivertown ahead!" Arryn explained.

Han Fei nodded, patted Feihuo's neck under his crotch and said softly, "Let's go!"

Spitfire hissed merrily, spread its hooves and rushed forward, the slow walk made it impatient, and a real steed can only show its worth in galloping.

Its sudden acceleration took Han Xin'er by surprise, and the cold wind immediately hit her face, making her delicate little face feel a little painful, but it was only a matter of moments, because soon a warm breath poured out from Han Fei's body and wrapped her inside, completely resisting the oncoming cold wind.

Seeing this, the two attendant warriors also immediately waved their whips and chased closely, and the three horsemen swept over the dirt road like a whirlwind, bringing up dust and mist along the way.

The location of Riverbend Town happened to be at a big bend in the river, no more than four or five kilometers away from the Wuthering Forest, and it was surrounded by a continuous area of farmland, which originally belonged to the kingdom, but now belonged to Han Fei's territory.

This large fertile territory was named after him, and it could be passed down for three generations as long as he was not stripped of his title, and it was not impossible to be hereditary if he was promoted to more land during this period.

Hewan Town was bigger than Han Fei had imagined, the town was full of tall and low buildings, and as far as the eye could see, there were all pointed cone-shaped roofs, and when he arrived at the entrance of the town, the church in the town rang with the bell of the morning prayer, and a flock of white doves flew up from the town and circled in the sky.

A peaceful, beautiful local town, that was the first impression that Riverbend Town had given Han Fei, even though he knew the undercurrents lurking beneath this calm surface.

Han Fei pulled the reins, and Feihuo slowed down unwillingly, and the two followers behind were able to catch up.

In the morning, there are not many people in the town, the streets are deserted, and most of the shops are not open. The horses' iron palms trampled on the bluestone paved road with a crisp sound, and several townsfolk passing by looked at Han Fei and the others in surprise, because they could see that Han Fei was obviously not one of those adventurers or mercenaries who often came to the town.

Han Fei noticed that this town was very old, and most of the buildings were quite old, probably because of the lack of people in winter, revealing a bit of a depressed smell.

"Your Excellency, there is a tea shop in front of you, and the morning tea there is good. Erin raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead.

"Okay, let's go there!" Han Fei said happily.

The café is different from the usual restaurant in that it specialises in morning and afternoon tea, with its signature on fragrant milk tea, black tea and delicious dim sum, and the café is located on the street near the small square in the center of town.

At this time, of course, the tea restaurant had already opened, Han Fei and Ai Lin and the others dismounted at the door, and some waiters hurriedly came over to help tie the horses to the stone pillars next to them, and the general restaurants had special places to park carriages and horses, and this was no exception.

Although the front of this tea restaurant is not large, the area inside is not small, the decoration is neat and clean, and many tea houses have been occupied by guests, these people are obviously residents of the town, most of them have some status or some money.

The arrival of Han Fei with Han Xin'er and two retinue warriors caused some slight stirring in the restaurant, and many guests looked at them curiously, Han Fei's bearing and Xin'er's beauty and cuteness were particularly eye-catching here, which inevitably caused some whispering speculation and discussion.

Han Fei completely ignored this, found two window seats and sat down, and instructed the waiter to get milk tea and snacks.

When they came out in the morning, everyone hadn't eaten, and they were already hungry, and the refreshments here were quite delicious, especially the baked meat floss pies, which even Han Xin'er ate three pieces in one go.

As time went by, more and more people came to the tea restaurant, and the limited seats could barely accommodate it, and Han Fei and others also attracted more and more attention, especially Han Xin'er, who attracted many amazing eyes.

Local towns are different from big cities, there are no nobles here, and of course there are not so many etiquette exquisite, seeing that Han Xin'er was a little uneasy, Han Fei smiled and patted her little hand and said, "Let's leave immediately." ”

As soon as Han Xin'er nodded, there was a sudden commotion outside, as well as the neighing of horses.

Han Fei immediately stood up, as he could tell that it was Spitfire screaming with anger.
