After waiting for about half an hour, there was movement at the city gate, but Su Tiyue was too short, so she could only hold onto Qingwu's shoulder and stand on tiptoe to look in that direction.
Actually, she could have met Xiao Heye even without coming to such a crowded place.
Because the first thing Xiao Heye will do after returning to Yong'an will definitely be to go find her. She just needs to wait obediently for Xiao Heye in the manor.
However, Su Tiyue loved to join in the fun, and besides... she couldn't wait a moment longer to see Xiao Heye...
At the city gate, under the watchful eyes of thousands, Xiao Heye slowly rode in on a black steed.
Xiao Heye wore silver armor, a sword at his waist, and his angular face showed signs of age...
Behind him were Han Zhou and Song Yunqian's armies, as well as soldiers under Jiang Zhun who had just surrendered, and his brothers who had always followed Xiao Heye.
He had the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but he had even more private soldiers he kept in Suzhou.
The people under Xiao Heye initially thought they were walking a dark and cold path, but who would have thought?
This road, as we walked along it, turned out to be a bright and promising path...
Perhaps even Xiao Heye did not expect that his path toward destruction would inexplicably deviate from its intended course.
Xiao Heye looked up and saw a wide, flat road ahead, with men, women, and children standing on both sides.
Those faces adorned with joy and kindness, those pairs of eyes filled with longing and expectation—it was a sight he had never seen before.
yes……
Along his journey, Xiao Heye had indeed not seen any beautiful scenery, nor had he tasted anything that he found delicious.
Until he met Su Tiyue.
Only then did I realize her beauty, her sweetness...
Now I remember, just a few days ago, Su Tiyue told him that she would take him to see all the mountains and rivers of this world and taste all the flavors of this world...
Xiao Heye raised the corner of his eye, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.
At this moment, he probably saw a bit of what Su Tiyue called the beautiful scenery, right?
Xiao Heye gently patted the horse's back with the reins in his hand and continued walking forward. But after only a few steps, the people on both sides of the road suddenly knelt down in unison.
At first, they shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Later, as the shouts grew louder, their voices became more and more synchronized, as if they had been rehearsed beforehand.
The soldiers behind him also knelt down, shouting loudly, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Han Zhou and Song Yunqian exchanged a glance, then quickly dismounted and knelt before the supreme ruler of Beiliang.
With the military and civilians united as one, the whole nation rejoices.
Xiao Heye became famous overnight, and people elevated him to a higher position.
He became the emperor of Northern Liang.
In other words, this position originally belonged to him.
Whether it's Xiao Heye, who wields immense power in the court, or Zhou Yuheng, the former crown prince, if they wanted it... this position would be theirs sooner or later.
Although the scene before him was breathtaking, he did not stop there but continued walking forward.
Seeing that everyone else was kneeling, Su Tiyue and her two maids knelt down as well, chanting "Long live the Emperor!" over and over again, just like everyone else.
"..."
Everyone kept their heads down, including Su Tiyue. Although she wanted to catch a glimpse of Xiao Heye's imposing appearance, she held back.
Oh well... anyway, she can go home and see.
To look without restraint...
Thinking this, Su Tiyue's lips curved into a beautiful smile.
Suddenly, Su Tiyue felt the sounds around her gradually fade away. She assumed that Xiao Heye had already walked past, so she didn't think much of it.
Little did she know that Xiao Heye had spotted her from afar.
He has just dismounted and is walking towards her location.
The people kneeling on the ground were also sensible and moved aside to make way for Xiao Heye.
Su Tiyue lay on the ground, repeating that sentence over and over again, unaware that Xiao Heye was approaching.
Then suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of her.
She frowned, slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the two long, slender legs in front of her, before looking up to meet Xiao Heye's deep, gentle eyes.
"Master Xiao..." Whenever she saw Xiao Heye, she would habitually call him Master Xiao or Master Xiao.
But now, we can't shout like that anymore.
Su Tiyue bit her lip and quickly changed her address, saying, "Your Majesty?"
Seeing her flustered expression, Xiao Heye found it utterly adorable. He smiled and then extended his right hand to her…
Su Tiyue was still kneeling on the ground, surrounded by a crowded group of people...
They had been looking down just now, but now that Xiao Heye was approaching, they all craned their necks to join in the fun, as if watching a spectacle.
Su Tiyue's face flushed red instantly.
I feel so embarrassed and at a loss!
In front of so many people, this majestic emperor actually wanted to hold her hand?!
Seeing that she was still hesitating and struggling, Xiao Heye was not in a hurry. He just quietly looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Tiyue finally blushed, mustered her courage, and stretched out her right hand.
Xiao Heye held her fingers in his palm, and with a little force, pulled Su Tiyue up from the ground.
After pulling him up, he scooped him up in his arms and carried him straight to the black horse.
"What...what are you doing?" Su Tiyue's face turned red all the way to her ears. She buried her head in Xiao Heye's arms and asked softly.
Xiao Heye laughed: "Nothing, just taking you home..."
The onlookers were all thrilled, but dared not utter a sound, only silently gasping in their hearts...
This new emperor is really something...
They spoil her rotten!
Xiao Heye placed her on the horse's back, then, supporting himself with one hand, he easily mounted the horse with his long legs and hugged Su Tiyue from behind.
"Giddy up!" With his deep voice, the horse began to run.
The sound of horses' hooves clattering on the road was a soft, rhythmic thud.
Just like the sound of Su Tiyue's heartbeat at this very moment, thump thump thump...
Xiao Heye lowered his head slightly and carefully sniffed the fragrance in her hair.
It was a familiar scent, the one that haunted his dreams: jasmine...
As the two figures receded into the distance, Han Zhou stood up from the ground, frowned, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, this empire and the beauty... my brother has taken them all."
"General Song, shall we go for a drink...?"
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Song Yunqian finally let go of his resentment and sighed helplessly, "We won't leave until we're drunk?"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "We won't leave until we're drunk!"
