Chapter 258: Small Town Rainbow

Yanjing Shengjing East suburb, Rainbow Town. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rainbow Town is only a dozen kilometers away from Yanjing, located at the foot of the God of War Mountain Range, a small river originating from the mountains meanders through the town, and the abundant mountains and rivers moisten a large area of uncultivated fertile fields, mountains, forests, grassy hills, rivers... There are also tulip beds on both sides of the road, which is a beautiful scenery.

Han Fei rode the fire and galloped across the road leading to the town, and the strong wind blowing in his face mixed with the fragrance of the country soil, tulips, and the beauty in his arms, made him feel happy.

It has been three days since he came to Yanjing, and with the help of Han Wuguo and a sum of money, Han Fei has successfully completed the handover procedures of the territory from the Imperial Noble Senate, and from today on, he is the rightful Tulip Lord, owning a thousand hectares of manor territory, including Tulip Castle.

The only regret is that he only saw Fuji Takumi at Fuji's house, and Fuji Shuixiu unfortunately happened to retreat to hit the bottleneck, and he couldn't see her for at least half a month.

Han Fei could only put aside his thoughts about her, and first went to learn about his territory, especially the Tulip Castle, and wanted to go alone, but he couldn't resist Han Bixuan's insistence, and the two rode there together.

"It's a beautiful town!" Han Bixuan looked at the town not far ahead, and couldn't help but admire.

"If you like, you can live in it!" Han Fei said with a low head and a light kiss on her cheek.

According to the information and contract provided by the Territorial Division of the Noble Senate, Rainbow Town also belongs to the Tulip Domain, and many of its assets are completely owned by Han Fei, of course, from today onwards, all taxes in the town will also be handed over to him.

Although Rainbow Town is not large, it looks like a small town in a landscape painting from a distance, with a patchwork of spire buildings, and an excellent location near the mountains and rivers, and it is said that sometimes after heavy rains, a huge rainbow rises in the mountains, just placing the town below, hence the name Rainbow Town.

Han Fei noticed that there were a lot of Reading Villas next to the town, which should be the country villas of some small and medium-sized nobles in Shengjing City, which was very close to Shengjing but far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, so it was a good choice to come over for a vacation.

The road connecting the city to the town was paved with hard, hard-wearing blue-grained stone, just enough to accommodate two carriages side by side, and although it looked very old, it was not much damaged, and it is conceivable that it must have cost a lot of money to lay this road in the first place.

The horse's hooves made a crisp click on the bluestone, and the two of them entered Rainbow Town together.

With a slight pull on the reins, Han Fei slowed down Spitfire, who was running a little excitedly, so as not to crash into the pedestrians in the town.

The situation in the town was somewhat unexpected by Han Fei, according to the information he obtained, the townspeople in Rainbow Town were only about 200 households and 1,000 people, and the situation in front of him was obviously different from this information.

Both sides of the street are full of shops that are opening, and after walking only a few dozen meters, Han Fei saw a bar and a pub, people come and go, and the business is quite good, in addition to ordinary civilians, there are a considerable number of mercenary adventurers here, and there are merchants and traders everywhere, and the lively scene is difficult to imagine that this is just a town with a thousand people.

The arrival of Han Fei and Han Bixuan's side by side didn't attract too many people's attention, but Feihuo's Shenjun and Han Bixuan's beauty attracted some eyes, and most of the eyes cast on Han Fei were envy or jealousy.

"Looks like you're off to a good start..."Han Bixuan's beautiful eyes wandered, looking at everything in the town with interest.

It is indeed good, in the absence of a lord, this rainbow town looks prosperous but orderly, with so many shops, it is estimated that the annual tax revenue is a large amount, at least there is no need for Han Fei to invest valuable money in it.

Han Fei nodded, he really wanted to meet the mayor who managed the town, the other party must be an experienced manager, such a talent was exactly what he needed.

But now there is no hurry, Han Fei pointed to a teahouse in front of him and said, "Bi Xuan, let's go sit there, how about drinking some afternoon tea first?"

Han Bixuan readily agreed, this time the two came to have a little bit of a private visit, and if they want to know about the situation in the town, the bar and teahouse are undoubtedly the best source of information.

After handing over the flying fire to the waiter, Han Fei took Han Bixuan into the teahouse.

This teahouse in Rainbow Town is not large, there are only about a dozen tea houses in and out, but it is very clean and tidy, and the waiters in clean white uniforms are well-trained, not much inferior to those in the city.

It was time for afternoon tea, and there were only two empty tables left, and most of the guests who came here were of some status, they were talking and laughing in low voices, and they were obviously familiar with each other, and the smell of black tea and cake muffins filled the air.

The arrival of Han Fei and Han Bixuan caused a small twitch, and the reason was, of course, because of Han Bixuan's beauty, her appearance was the focus of attention no matter where she was.

Most of the guests in the teahouse had some experience and could see that Han Fei was extraordinary, so some people whispered about which family the two of them came out to play.

Han Fei and Han Bixuan had just sat down at an empty table when a middle-aged beautiful woman with a good demeanor walked over with a smile and asked softly, "Good afternoon, two distinguished guests, I'm Theresa, the boss here, what do you need?" My black tea here tastes good, and there is a pine nut cake that has just been baked..."

This middle-aged woman was wearing a pale green dress, looking to be in her forties, but she was quite well maintained, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes revealed her real age when she smiled, and there was a hint of charm between her eyebrows.

"Mrs. Theresa, it's all a little better..."Han Fei smiled, "Double portions of each!"

"Don't add sugar to black tea!" Han Bixuan added.

Theresa was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, please wait!"

Soon, the proprietress personally served the black tea and cake, and did not leave immediately after putting it down, but looked at the two of them expectantly.

Han Fei tasted the black tea and cake, nodded and said, "Well, it's really good!"

Han Bixuan said to the proprietress standing next to her, "Mrs. Theresa, this is the first time we have come to Rainbow Town, can I talk to you a few words?"

"Happy!" Theresa obviously had the same intention, and sat down beside Han Bixuan.

The business in her store is all maintained by old customers, most of them are small nobles and businessmen with status in the town and the town, and they naturally deliberately make friends with new customers, especially people like Han Fei and Han Bixuan, who know that their identities are not ordinary at a glance.

"Listening to the accents of the two of you, it seems that you are from the Minglan Kingdom, right?" Theresa asked first.

Han Bixuan nodded with some surprise, and Theresa smiled: "I really don't have many guests from the Minglan Kingdom here, whether the two of you are here for an outing or plan to stay permanently, if you want to buy a holiday villa, maybe I can help." โ€

"Let's take a look first..."Han Fei smiled, "Mrs. Theresa, why are there so many adventurers in the town?"

It turns out that in order to prevent the invasion of the barbarians, there are defensive walls and a large number of fortresses on the God of War Mountain range behind the Holy Capital, and the same is true in the north of Rainbow Town, but there are special checkpoints here for mercenary adventurers and noble warriors who want to enter the mountains to hunt, and Rainbow Town takes advantage of this, which is why it is so lively.

Many mercenary adventurers use the town as a supply point, and sometimes they live directly in the town when they come back late, and there are also offices in the town for the adventurer's union and the mercenary union.

"But you can rest assured that there is a squadron of guards in the town, and the garrison of the fortress on the hill is ready to provide support, so no one dares to make trouble here!" Theresa explained, "so many nobles have built villas on the edge of the town, and they can usually come here for vacation and hunting." โ€

I see! Han Fei nodded clearly, looking at Theresa, she was talking extraordinarily, probably a descendant of a declining nobleman.

He was about to ask more about the situation, when he heard a bell ring, and the door of the teahouse was suddenly pushed open, and two knights of extraordinary grace walked in with a young nobleman in tow.

Seeing this nobleman, Theresa's face changed slightly, and she smiled apologetically at Han Fei, and then greeted him with a smile: "Lord Baron, why are you here today?"

The young nobleman was about twenty years old, with a thin body and a fair complexion, and looked a little handsome, but the eagle nose on his face gave him a rather yin look, and his sunken eye sockets were blue, and he was obviously also a man of sound.

His face had the kind of arrogance peculiar to the children of the nobility, and in response to Theresa's courteous greeting, he "snorted" from his nostrils, and said lightly: "What, aren't you welcome?"

"How is that possible, you are the most distinguished guest, there is a seat reserved for you here, pleaseโ€”" Theresa hurriedly laughed, and it was evident that she was very jealous of this nobleman.

The young nobleman nodded in a big way, and after a glance, several tea guests who had just turned their heads to look at them immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.

His gaze suddenly stopped, his gaze fell on Han Bixuan's body, and his originally squinted eyes suddenly lit up.

Theresa on the side followed his line of sight, and immediately secretly screamed in her heart, and hurriedly glanced at Han Fei, signaling Han Fei to leave immediately.

Of course, Han Fei noticed Theresa's secret reminder, but he just smiled faintly, lowered his head and tasted the cake, as if he hadn't seen it at all.

The young nobleman sat down at another empty table with two knights.
