The exciting sound of horseshoes was getting closer, but within a quarter of an hour, the convoy stopped at the gate of the city.
The patriarchs of the aristocratic families in Pingyang City got off their horses and knelt down on one knee, "We welcome the city lord to return after a great victory."
As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers at the gate of the city and the people in the city knelt down on the ground in unison.
Compared with the patriarchs of aristocratic families, the expressions of the common people are more reverent, and their voices are more enthusiastic.
"Congratulations to the return of the city lord."
The door of the carriage was pushed open, Xie Xun looked up, and the people of Pingyang City were kneeling on both sides of the road. These two long teams were like two long dragons extending from the gate of the city to the city, with no end in sight.
And the greetings from the people of Pingyang City, like waves of sound, also spread out, louder than louder.
Xie Xun withdrew his gaze, turned his gaze to the family heads in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Get up."
Everyone bowed again, then got up to make way.
The Dongying Army of Pingyang City who returned from the battle escorted their master and slowly entered the city.
The people who knelt on both sides of the road and did not obey orders raised their heads in unison when the carriage was about to pass by.
Under the early morning sun, the white-haired venerable saint was sitting in the carriage, and the morning glow that came in through the half-opened window quietly covered him with a layer of glow.
At this moment, the people of Pingyang City seemed to see the gods coming to the world.
The carriage passed by, and the heads of the aristocratic families got on their horses, followed the carriage, and went to the inner city together with it.
"As expected of the person I swore to follow." Among the crowd, the blue eyes of the young man reflected the carriage going away.
Everything cannot enter his eyes, and the only brilliance in the world is the person who rescued him from the claws of monsters.
"Master, you..."
The attendants who had the same different-colored pupils as the young man were taken aback by his words.
A month ago, this master didn't know what happened outside. After returning to Sunset City, he stopped hiding his clumsiness and directly forced the old city master to abdicate to let the virtuous. Either die, or become a disabled person.
And the person who did these things didn't have the slightest intention of hiding the disguise, and almost came up with evidence to tell everyone that he killed them.
As an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, even though he is ranked second among the heirs, no one would have thought that this would be the final winner.
But he became the winner, and several of the most qualified heirs who were favored by everyone died under his hands, which shows how terrifying this person is.
But now, such a person who has all kinds of means in the city will actually say that he wants to follow someone.
"Why do you have to show such an expression?" There was a gentle smile in the blue eyes of the young man, "If it wasn't for the sincerity of loyalty, Sunset City wouldn't be worth dirtying my hands."
"Prepare a visiting post for me."
Raphael's vow before the gods will be fulfilled at all costs.
A trace of hidden paranoia was faintly visible in the blue eyes as blue as the sky.
At three o'clock, the carriage that Xie Xun was riding in stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The butler, Uncle Fu, had already led the city lord's mansion up and down and stood waiting at the gate. When he saw the carriage approaching, he immediately knelt down.
"Welcome the master back."
Xie Xun stepped out of the carriage and took off the cloak on his body. Uncle Fu hurriedly stepped forward to take the cloak.
"Master left in a hurry, the sudden attack of the monster has already been investigated."
Xie Xun stepped into the hall of the city lord's mansion. The commander of the personal soldiers had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly saluted.
"Meet the mayor."
Xie Xun raised his hand, stopped him from saluting, and went straight to the main seat above and sat down.
The soldier took out a delicate dark red box, "This is what my subordinates found in the room where the girl Yangliu lives. They are all letters between her and the Lord's Mansion of Ningzhou City."
Speaking of which, none of them thought that an orphan girl would be the daughter of the city lord of Ningzhou's mansion, and the city lord Ning was really willing to spend his money, and he did not hesitate to let his daughter pretend to be an orphan girl to sneak into Pingyang City.
"Bring it here." Xie Xun ordered to the maid at the side, and the maid bowed down, walked to the commander, took the box and handed it to Xie Xun.
Xie Xun opened the box, took out the letters and flipped through them. Most of them were information about the fortification of Pingyang City. The bottom few letters were discussing how to let monsters attack Pingyang City. When he was seriously injured, Ningzhou City sent troops to take advantage of the situation to invade.
The beautiful handwriting reveals the maliciousness of the owner of the handwriting. It is undeniable that the daughter of the city lord's mansion of Ningzhou City is vicious, and every trick is enough to entrap the lives of tens of thousands of people in Pingyang City.
Xie Xun calmly put the letter back into the box. He was not surprised. After all, when the city lord of Ningzhou knelt at his feet begging for mercy, he confided all the ins and outs.
"Where is she?" Xie Xun looked sideways at the commander of the soldiers.
The commander of the soldiers was stunned for a moment, as if he was wondering why his city lord was not angry, and then said: "That girl Yangliu was killed by the Qin Patriarch with a sword the night you went to Ningzhou City."
"...Oh?" Xie Xun was really surprised at this moment. After all, in the original plot, Qin Siyuan had a very high tolerance for her lifesaver. Even if she attacked Qin Siyuan's admirers a few times, even if Qin Siyuan knew about her But in the end, she forgave her because of this kindness amidst her remorse.
However, in the original plot, the daughter of the city lord's mansion never revealed that the so-called life-saving grace was planned long ago, and the monster's berserk transformation was not discovered by her. Even returning to Ningzhou City was also lost. She went back as the second miss.
Everything was concealed very well, and the last seemingly matched marriage merged the sovereignty of Pingyang City and Ningzhou City together.
Just as he was thinking, Uncle Forbe walked in again. He walked very fast and walked into the hall in a short while.
"Master, the master of the Qin family... he is kneeling at the door with a thorn on his back, and many people are already surrounded by the door."
Xie Xun frowned, "What's going on?"
"Originally, after Young Master Siyuan came back to inherit the position of Patriarch of the Qin family, he was supposed to come to the city lord's mansion to swear allegiance, but the master was not in Pingyang City at that time, so he kept this matter on the table. What happened..." Fu Bo, the housekeeper, sighed, "The woman he brought back turned out to be the daughter of the enemy, and she almost caused Pingyang City to be harmed by her. If Patriarch Qin knows the truth, I'm afraid he will feel extremely guilty."
Xie Xun loosened his brows and said coldly, "Let him in."
"Yes." The butler responded, and quickly backed out. After a few breaths, Qin Siyuan walked in with a thorn on his back.
He stepped into the hall, without looking at the commander of the soldiers at the side, directly facing Xie Xun, knelt on the ground, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice: "Qin Siyuan came to plead guilty to the city lord."
"Although it was your fault for luring wolves into the house, it was also your unintentional mistake. As early as when the Japanese city lord said that he would give you a fair sentence." Xie Xun said lightly, "Your Qin family has made meritorious deeds in resisting monsters, so you can erase this This mistake, but the crime can be avoided, but the punishment is still to be punished. In the next three years, the tax of the Qin family will increase by [-]%, to make up for the losses suffered by the people in the Mibai Mountain area, and to subsidize the soldiers who died in battle. family."
After Xie Xun finished speaking, he looked at Qin Siyuan again, "Do you have any objections?"
Qin Siyuan bowed down respectfully, "No objection."
Xie Xun nodded, "In that case, remove the thorns from your body. Three days later, the city lord will hold a celebration, and your Qin family's oath will also be held at the same time."
"Yes." A look of surprise flashed in Qin Siyuan's eyes. He thought that the Qin family would not be able to take the oath because of this incident.
This is the common practice in all the main cities. If the family head is replaced, if the head of the family does not take an oath to be recognized by the city lord's mansion, he will be squeezed out by the mainstream family, and then reduced to a second-class family or even gradually decline.
After Qin Siyuan left, Xie Xun ordered the City Lord's Mansion to prepare for the celebration.
Whether it is his promotion or the annexation of Ningzhou City, it is of great significance to Pingyang City.
And he also needs to use this celebration to frighten the other three main cities—if he dares to attack Pingyang City, he must first weigh whether he can withstand the anger from the holy rank venerable.
Qin Siyuan walked out of the city lord's mansion with Jingtiao on his back. Outside the city lord's mansion, the surrounding people hadn't left yet, and when they saw him come out, they all offered comfort.
"Patriarch Qin, you don't have to blame yourself too much, we all see what you have done for Pingyang City."
"That's right, you were only killed by that woman, and you were not responsible for attracting monsters."
"...that child of my family was saved by you, Patriarch Qin, who rushed into the group of monsters and the city lord together." A woman blushed and said.
When her family evacuated, because they were reluctant to part with their belongings, they delayed for a while, so her family was knocked out and taken away by the soldiers. Who knew that after waking up, they found that their youngest son had not evacuated together.After the child was rescued, he asked and found out that he hid in the cellar where the sundries were stored while playing games at noon, and fell asleep in the corner after hiding. No one was scared to cry.
When I walked out of the house crying, what happened later.
Qin Siyuan showed a touch of emotion, and he cupped his hands towards the crowd, "Thank you for your concern, folks, the city lord has made a fair verdict on my fault."
"The scheming is deep enough." The blond young man who watched everything quietly from a distance almost couldn't maintain the smile on his face, "A majestic man actually used a cruel trick to get a holy rank venerable to forgive him."
"I think his attitude is quite sincere, it doesn't look like he's playing tricks..." the woman with her arm around the blond-haired young man said with a sweet smile.
The blond young man turned his head and looked at the woman quietly with gentle blue eyes, "Send her back and tell the Carol family that the Lord of the City has lost interest in her. If you still want to send someone to the Lord of the City, remember to send her Be clever."
To be so stupid as to speak for someone he dislikes, isn't this sincerity making him feel uncomfortable?
"Lance, you—" The face of the woman who was still smiling sweetly changed abruptly. It is clear that the people in front of her are extremely gentle to her these days, and seem to love her very much. How could she change her face so quickly?
The blond young man looked away with a sleepy look, he didn't even look at the woman's shocked expression, he stretched out his hand to his entourage, "Give me the visiting card."
The patriarchs of the aristocratic families in Pingyang City got off their horses and knelt down on one knee, "We welcome the city lord to return after a great victory."
As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers at the gate of the city and the people in the city knelt down on the ground in unison.
