Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 955 Taking advantage of others (6)

King Zhao fell off his horse, but he was not seriously injured. He quickly got up from the ground.

When the city lords of the other two cities saw that no one was paying attention to them, they wanted to sneak away quietly at this moment, but they did not know that their actions had already fallen into Gu Panxia's eyes.

Gu Panxia stood in front of the two horses and said with a half-smile, "Where do the two city lords want to go?"

The two of them froze, hurriedly reining in their horses and laughing without saying a word.

After King Zhao got up, Lu Yuan pointed the blood-drinking sword at his neck, then looked at the other three people and said coldly: "It's best for you guys to come with us!"

Seeing that the two men had no intention of killing them, King Zhao's mood slowly changed from the original anger to calmness.

He knew in his heart that now that the master was injured, no one would come to save him for the time being. Since they didn't want to kill him yet, as long as they were alive, they would definitely save him when the master recovered from his injuries.

Thinking of this, King Zhao said calmly: "Since the two masters have invited us, we naturally have no reason to refuse."

City Lord Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that judging from their current situation, they really had no advantage. If they escaped, the two men might be able to kill them with one sword.

In order to save his life, he did not speak, and naturally the other two city lords also did not speak.

In this way, the four of them returned to Xicheng under the supervision of Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan.

When they returned to Xicheng, the moon was already rising above the willow trees.

After locking the four people into a secret prison and ordering heavy troops to guard them, City Lord Lin led a group of people out of the secret prison in a mighty manner.

City Lord Lin said as he walked: "I have asked people to prepare a banquet. Please come with me to the Bamboo Garden for dinner!"

After that, he led the group of people to the bamboo garden.

It's spring now, and against the backdrop of the red lanterns, the shadows of the green bamboos in the bamboo garden look increasingly lush.

The Bamboo Garden is a backyard of the Lin Mansion. It is equipped with rockeries and running water, and several winter jasmine trees are fluttering in the wind under the rockery.

After passing through the bamboo forest and entering a round cave door, I saw a small courtyard. At this time, the courtyard was brightly lit, and maid Xiao Si came in and out from time to time.

When those people saw them, they hurriedly saluted and then continued to be busy.

After City Lord Lin led a group of people into the house, he said to an old man on the side: "Steward Lin, let's serve the food."

The old man responded with a respectful yes, turned back to the group of girls carrying food boxes and ordered: "Serve!"

After hearing this, the girls carried the food boxes, stepped forward in an orderly manner, arranged the dishes in the food boxes one by one, and then retreated with lowered eyebrows.

After City Lord Lin invited the group to sit down, he followed suit.

City Lord Lin originally wanted the city guard elder to sit in the chief position, but the city guard elder waved his hand and refused.

He said: "Let me take the first seat, wouldn't it seem that I am taking over the honors?"

After hearing this, City Lord Lin had no choice but to give up.

He stood up and raised his glass and solemnly said: "Today, if it weren't for a few of you, Xicheng would have ceased to exist. As the lord of this city, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Xicheng!"

Several people also stood up, raised their glasses to him, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

After City Lord Lin finished drinking, he said to the elder of the city guard: "Elder Qin just sent a message via flying pigeon, saying that he had met the great elder and had successfully brought the young patriarch's words. The great elder also asked elder Qin to lead him. By the way, tomorrow, they will go directly from the trail to the royal city."

After hearing this, the city guard elder nodded with satisfaction.
