Chapter 608: The Return of the City Lord
The visitor's body suddenly stopped, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Who are you? Who are you?"
The people in the city rushed out shortly after, and the leader held a torch and gradually illuminated Su Ying's face.
"City Lord?"
Hu Wei seemed to be unable to believe it and had to speak first.
More and more firelights behind her illuminated Su Ying's slightly cold eyes. Looking at those familiar faces, Su Ying's tense eyes gradually relaxed and revealed a faint smile, "It's me."
Qiao Yang almost jumped off his horse. His eyes widened in shock and he staggered to Su Ying. However, he stopped three steps away from Su Ying and looked her up and down in disbelief.
"You, are you real? The real city lord?"
Su Ying slapped him on the head, "What? Has someone pretended to be me before?"
Qiao Yang shook his head repeatedly. Not to mention others, even many people in the city had never seen Su Ying's appearance. How could someone pretend to be her?
"It's really the city lord, it's really the city lord, the living city lord is back!" Qiao Yang shouted excitedly.
Hu Wei came to his senses and kicked him on the butt, "What are you doing making such a fuss? You haven't learned to be mature and steady for so long."
Qiao Yang was kicked twice, and smiled at Su Ying awkwardly, "I'm just too happy to see the city lord."
Hu Wei and the others were also happy. They never thought that Su Ying would come back at this time.
"What are you still standing there for? Let the city lord enter the city."
"Yes, yes, yes, Lord, hurry up and go into the house to warm up first."
Su Ying nodded, also wanting to figure out the current situation as soon as possible.
"City Lord?"
"Is it really the city lord?"
"It's really the city lord who has returned!"
On the way into the city, Su Ying almost heard everyone's suppressed whispers of excitement.
From the surprise and joy in their words, it can be heard that they are pleasantly surprised at my own return.
Hu Wei immediately sent someone back to tell the people in the city that Su Ying was back. As soon as Su Ying returned to the palace gate, she saw a group of people guarding outside the gate. When they saw her coming, they came forward to greet her.
"Welcome the city lord back to the city."
The uniform shouts seemed to break the shackles that bound her in an instant, and Su Ying signaled everyone to stand up.
Su Ying's eyes swept over them one by one. They were all faces she was very familiar with, except Chu Yun.
"Where's Chu Yun?"
Hu Wei, who was following beside him, had his eyes darkened when he heard this. "A few days ago, he went to the camp of those people to negotiate with them, but those bastards actually cheated and wanted to kill Lord Chu. We risked our lives to rescue him, but Lord Chu was still injured and is now recovering from his injuries."
"I'll go and take a look."
Hu Wei took Su Ying to Chu Yun's residence.
It was just dawn when Su Ying saw Chu Yun. A light golden light shone into the room through the window lattice, illuminating Chu Yun's unusually pale face.
When Chu Yun saw Su Ying, his face was filled with shock that was hard to conceal, and he even forgot to speak.
"City Lord?"
Su Ying walked up to him and said, "I'm back."
A seven-foot-tall man suddenly had red eyes.
Su Ying was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw that look of forbearance and a hint of grievance in Chu Yun's eyes.
I think this kid must have had a very frustrating time during this period.
"The city lord is back, it's good that he's back." Realizing that he had lost his composure, Chu Yun quickly came back to his senses and adjusted his mood.
"Where are you hurt?"
"Don't worry, City Lord. These are just some external injuries. They will heal in a few days."
Su Ying looked at Hu Wei, and Hu Wei nodded, agreeing with Chu Yun's statement.
The doctors in the city were quite skilled, so Su Ying did not check Chu Yun's wound again. "Since you are still injured, you should rest well first and don't worry about other things."
With Hu Wei and the others around, Chu Yun was able to explain everything to Su Ying, so he didn't insist any longer.
"You must be on your way back. I have already asked someone to prepare food. Please eat something first. I will tell you about the matter later."
Su Ying nodded and signaled Chu Yun to have a good rest first.
"There's no need to worry, Lord City. Although things are a bit tricky, the place is still guarded by our people, and they don't dare to act rashly."
Su Ying chuckled with an ambiguous tone, "Don't worry, even if the initiative is not in our hands, I can still take back what belongs to us."
Chu Yun smiled in relief, "Yes, the city lord is right, I was worrying too much."
"Take a rest."
"good."
Su Ying and Hu Wei and others arrived at the meeting hall.
After a while, the guards in black brought up the hot meal.
"City Lord, eat something first. We can talk about anything after you are full."
Su Ying sat down on a chair and motioned for them to sit down, "It's already daybreak, you guys haven't slept all night, sit down and have something to eat."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yang grinned and was about to sit on the chair.
Unexpectedly, before he could even sit on the chair, he was glared back by Hu Wei.
Qiao Yang shrank his neck and dared not move.
"Just eat it, City Lord. We will just take a few bites."
Su Ying tapped her knuckles on the table, "Sit down, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's eat together, there's no need to be so reserved."
Su Ying has already said so, and if they continue to refuse, it would be ungrateful of her.
Qiao Yang chuckled and shamelessly chose a seat closest to Su Ying and sat down.
"City Lord, this is all made by Uncle Murong. His cooking skills have improved over the past year. Please eat quickly."
Su Ying recognized Murong De's craftsmanship.
After Uncle He entered the palace, the dishes he cooked became more exquisite, but Su Ying actually preferred the food he cooked when he was in Tiankui City.
"The city lord is drinking soup. This is a freshly killed sheep. He said he would roast it at night. And this chicken is an old chicken that Uncle Murong has been feeding for a year. Normally, he would be reluctant to kill it if we wanted to eat it. But when the city lord came back, he immediately mentioned it and slaughtered the chicken."
In just a blink of an eye, the bowl in front of Su Ying was almost filled with food.
"Okay, don't disturb the city lord's meal." Hu Wei looked disgusted.
Qiao Yang put down his chopsticks awkwardly and smiled foolishly at Su Ying.
Su Ying looked at him sideways, and Qiao Yang's face immediately turned red, "City Lord, are you, are you tired of playing with Xiao Jin? I, I can do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big pancake hit him in the face.
"Even a table full of food can't stop you from eating." Su Ying glanced at him coldly, grabbed the lamb leg and took a bite.
Qiao Yang grabbed the pancake in disappointment and took a vicious bite, as if it was Xiao Jin's meat!
It turns out that the city lord didn’t come back just because he was tired of Xiao Jin. It’s been so long, why hasn’t the city lord gotten tired of Xiao Jin yet? I don’t know what’s so good about that guy!
