Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord.

The carriage door opened, and the obese fourth prince stepped out with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to His Highness the Fourth Prince." Earl Puli respectfully saluted aristocrats.

"It's Earl Puli." The fourth prince said gently, and got out of the carriage with the support of the knight.

"Your Highness Fourth Prince, Your Majesty has prepared lunch, please Your Highness to have a meal." Earl Puli said respectfully.

"Let's go, I happen to be hungry too." The fourth prince waved his hands, very unassuming, and he didn't look like a loser at all.

Retreating from the capital meant that he could not compete with the eldest prince and the second prince, and he was considered a half loser, and no one could be sure whether the rebellion would succeed in the future.

"Your Highness, this way please." Earl Puli led the way.

The group followed Earl Puli into the castle and sat in the dining room. The fourth prince sat at the first place, and Earl Puli sat in the second position from the left, which meant that he could only rank fourth next to the fourth prince.

"Earl Puli, what happened to what I told you?" The fourth prince had just sat down and asked gently, "How many knights are there in the western land?"

The fourth prince had already aimed at the land to the west. That place was remote, but it definitely had a large population. How could the knight gather thousands of people, so that he could have the foundation to counterattack the capital.

"This..." Earl Puli was at a loss for words, his face was a little gloomy, he didn't expect the fourth prince to be so eager.

"What? What's the matter?" The fourth prince's gentle face slowly retracted, his eyes flickering with dissatisfaction.

The order to let Earl Puli go to the west to gather the knights was ordered secretly by the fourth prince. This is also the power that the fourth prince secretly developed, so that the eldest prince and the second prince will not be alerted.

"Your Highness, there is something wrong. Your three sons all died in the land to the west." Earl Puli spoke of his sadness, weeping with grief, and shed turbid tears.

"What's going on?" The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, why did the three sons die when he opened his mouth?

"Your Highness, it's like this. After receiving the order from the fourth prince, I didn't dare to neglect at all, so I sent my three most outstanding sons to go to the west to complete what Your Highness ordered, but who would have thought that there would be a man called Liu Feng's Xiyang City Lord, he didn't obey His Highness's order, and even sent people to kill my three sons." Earl Puli said while wiping his tears, people who didn't know would think that he was really doing it for himself. The son is sad.

"It's so bold? Interesting." The fourth prince squinted at Earl Puli, his cheeks trembled, and then there was a hint of silence on his face, and he comforted him, "Earl Puli, don't worry, this time we are going to the west. Hell, that Liu Feng is up to you."

"Yes, thank you, Your Royal Highness, Fourth Prince." Earl Puli heaved a sigh of relief, and got away with it.

"I brought two thousand knights this time, and I will leave their arrangements to you. After a few days of rest, I will set off for the west." The fourth prince smiled lightly.

"Please leave it to me." Earl Puli agreed without hesitation.

Chapter 0551 is dead.

Gray Rock City is located at the junction of the inland and the west, and it takes about five days to arrive from Xiyang City.

At this time, Huiyan City was mostly submerged by water, and many civilians were standing on the city wall. Fortunately, the city wall of Huiyan City was made of stone bricks, but it could not accommodate many people. More people still built rafts, and then Use a rope to tie the weight so it doesn't get washed away.

There are civilians everywhere on the city wall, crowded standing, squatting, and lying down. The civilians have pale faces. This is because they are hungry. They have been trapped for three days and have not eaten.

The flood came so suddenly three days ago, the flood surrounded Huiyan City overnight, and then submerged the ground of Huiyan City in just half a day, and the water rose higher and higher in the next three days , Most of the Gray Rock City was soaked in water, and many civilian houses with mud walls collapsed.

"Alas...if this continues, we will all starve to death." An old man sighed helplessly.

"I'll ask those people again, and ask them to lend us some wheat." A strong middle-aged man said in a low voice. He was wearing a suit of armor and had a bearded face.

"Knight Taki, don't go. How could they be willing to borrow wheat? Not all noble merchants are as kind as Miss Darlene."

The old man waved his hand and persuaded, "Be careful they will insult people again."

"Let me try again." Taki hesitated and insisted, "Maybe there will be one or two good people?"

Taki is a knight of Gray Rock City, he did not leave with the Lord of Gray Rock City, but stayed to help the civilians, which made him loved by many people.

The same is true of the tower base that was hit by the big flood last year, but I didn’t expect that there will be a big flood this year, and it will be more severe than last year’s big flood. It has been three or four days since the water has not declined, but it has a tendency to continue to rise.

If this goes on like this, in less than two days, everyone will be soaked in the water waiting to die, and they are afraid of being taken away by the water on a raft.

"Hey...Taki Knight is really too upright." The old man looked at Taki who was struggling on the city wall.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Taki. There were hundreds of boats docked there, and a dozen boats near the city wall were full of people. These boats were a boat named Miss Darlene, and she was willing to let civilians board the boat. Many civilians were also saved.

And the rest of the more than a hundred ships were not willing to let the civilians board the ship, and they were not even willing to give some wheat.The old man also thought it was normal. After all, no one is a selfless person, let alone these nobles and merchants. Kind-hearted merchant nobles are always in the minority.

"Ta Tata..."

"Everyone, please give way." Taki said softly, there are too many people in this city wall, so be careful not to step on them.

"Taki Knight, are you going to find them again?"

"Don't go, those people won't sympathize with us, don't belittle yourself."

"..."

The civilians are trying to persuade Taki not to go to the nobles and businessmen. Last time they remembered those nobles, they actually asked Taki to jump into the water and swim to those boats to meet and negotiate, but in the end they were tricked. Will give the commoners wheat to eat.

"It's okay, I just asked." Taki said with a gentle smile.He can't let everyone wait here to die, there is always a way to try.

He was originally an orphan, and he grew up eating a lot of food from the neighbors. It was these simple civilians who made him live and grow up. As long as he can help everyone, what is a mere insult?

Darlene was standing on the roof of the main ship's cabin at this time, she looked at the civilians on the board, the civilians on the city wall, and looking far away, her eyes were full of water.

"This big flood came at the wrong time. It has been delayed for three or four days. I really don't know when it will go away." Darlene said bitterly. The time she promised His Excellency Liu Feng was delayed again. The situation made her a little unsure how to face His Excellency Liu Feng's trust.

Now the speed of the boat can't be raised at all. Every day, the speed of the boat is like a turtle, and the wind direction is wrong, which caused the fleet to stop, and many boats failed to keep up with them.

"Pfft..."

There was a sound of falling into the water, which attracted the attention of many people, including Darlene's. She saw a figure hugging a log and trying to swim, and the direction was Jesse and Kunzhan's boat.

"Taki Knight, come back quickly, it's too dangerous."
