"Ze'er, I have something important to discuss with the city lord. Please wait here for a moment." Xu Jixue touched Xu Tianze's furry head in a gentle tone.
"I get it. I'm not a child anymore. Big brother, please stop touching my head." Xu Tianze pouted in disgust, but did not escape the clutches of his big brother.
"Yes, yes, my Ze'er has grown up." Xu Jixue withdrew his hand as if he was coaxing a child.
Seeing his elder brother's expression, Xu Tianze knew that he hadn't listened at all. He knew what would happen next. He snorted coldly and walked out on his own.
However, led by the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, he wandered around until sunset but did not see his eldest brother. It was not until the next day that he saw his elder brother who looked tired and his father with a grim face.
"Master, it's time for us to set off." Xichen saw that Xu Tianze was still looking at the city wall of Qicheng, and thought that his master still had some memories of Qicheng.
Xu Tianze came back to his senses and saw that not only Xichen, but also Qingyuan and Xuewei were looking at him with concern. He smiled at the three of them to indicate that he was fine, and then prepared to take everyone away.
I think my aunt, who received the news early, must be getting anxious. It is not a good choice for them to stay in Qicheng any longer. It is better for them to leave early and go to Shangjing City.
"Mr. Xu, please stay—"
Xu Tianze frowned when he heard the voice behind him, but still turned around and looked at the person who came.
With his current reputation, ordinary people may not know what he looks like, but anyone with some power knows what he looks like and will naturally stay away from him.
Now that someone suddenly came and offered to keep him, even if Xu Tianze didn't think much about it, he knew that this was not something to be thankful for.
The person who came was wearing a green robe and a mountain green cloak. He exuded an elegant yet lively aura, bringing a touch of spring to this season when all things were withering.
"Finally I've made it. I'm Wang Chuannuo, meeting Mr. Xu." Wang Chuannuo took a breath, then stood up and saluted Xu Tianze.
"I heard that the current mayor of Qicheng is Wang Chuannuo, so it must be you." Xu Tianze frowned slightly and then quickly relaxed his brows.
"It's me, Wang Wei, my father. Please meet me, Mr. Xu." Wang Chuannuo admitted his identity with a smile and also stated his purpose.
"The city lord is quite good-natured. My master has been in Qicheng for three days without seeing the city lord. Now he is ready to leave, but the city lord comes." Qing Yuan curled his lips, somewhat dissatisfied.
You have to know that people in this line of work have never hidden their whereabouts. Anyone with some power can find out their whereabouts if they want to, but what is the result?
For three consecutive days, they traveled all over the city, but the mayor of Qicheng did not show up, which means they were not here for the mayor of Qicheng.
That's why I didn't visit the City Lord's Mansion. But if your City Lord's Mansion has something to ask for, shouldn't you come to me within these three days?
Now that they see someone about to leave, they come to ask for help. To put it bluntly, it is because they were too proud of their status to ask for help directly, thinking that the other party would definitely come to them.
Now seeing that they had no intention of doing so and were about to leave Kaicheng, he hurried out to chase them.
"Qingyuan, please don't be rude. I'm sorry to make the city lord laugh." Xu Tianze scolded Qingyuan and then bowed to Wang Chuannuo to express his apology.
However, Xu Tianze did not give too much explanation for Qingyuan's words just now. After all, Wang Chuannuo's current behavior was indeed a bit unreasonable. Xu Tianze and Qingyuan actually thought the same thing.
But at this moment, Xu Tianze should not cause any more trouble.
"The city lord is a little late. We have been delayed here for a long time. Now we need to rush to Shangjing City as fast as possible." Xu Tianze expressed his embarrassment and wanted to directly refuse Wang Chuannuo.
Wang Chuannuo glanced at the carriage behind Xu Tianze and others with twitching eyelids. He had never heard of a galloping horse with a carriage. Wasn't this just a lie?
But in the end, I was in the wrong, and Xu Tianze had always been polite, so no one could find fault with him. The most important thing was that I needed help from him.
So Wang Chuannuo could only lie with his eyes open to express his understanding, "Of course I understand Mr. Xu, but my father is nearing the end of his life and just woke up from a coma today."
"When I woke up, I heard that Master Xu had sent me to the city to invite me. He said that Master Xu had left something for me. He also asked Master Xu to consider my filial piety and go see my father. My father is really on his last legs."
At this point, Wang Chuannuo's voice choked and his eyes became increasingly red.
Ever since his father found out that Xu Tianze had killed the old Duke of Zhenguo and even wanted to kill his nephew Xu An, he became depressed.
Seeing his father becoming increasingly thinner, Wang Chuannuo asked many times in an attempt to share his father's worries, but in the end all he got was his father's sighs.
Since then, he has been looking for news of Xu Tianze, but unfortunately, no matter how many people he sent to look for him, they were always one step behind Xu Tianze and he never saw him.
In the past few days, because his father was in a coma, he was serving him by his bedside without taking off his clothes, so he ignored the news about Xu Tianze.
It was today that his father woke up and realized that he didn't have much time left, so he revealed a few words to him. When he heard that Xu Tianze was in the city, he grabbed him and asked him to bring him back.
This is how the current scene happened. Thinking of his old father who was bedridden, Wang Chuannuo secretly swore in his heart that he would ask Xu Tianze to go back even if he had to kneel in front of him.
After all, having missed this opportunity, he didn't know whether his father could wait for the next chance.
"Well, let's go." Xu Tianze glanced at Wang Chuannuo indifferently.
"Ah? Oh, oh, okay, please come this way." Wang Chuannuo was stunned at first, then quickly moved sideways to invite him.
He was ready to kneel on the ground and beg Xu Tianze. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything more, Xu Tianze had already agreed to his request.
For a moment, Wang Chuannuo felt a little dreamy, as if what he was experiencing was not very real.
Xu Tianze didn't say anything about this, because in his memory, Xu Jixue had left Shangjing City only a few times, and if he really had something to explain.
It should be the time when he carried Xu Li on his back and dragged him to Qicheng, so Xu Tianze was a little curious for a moment about what his so-called elder brother had left for him.
It was so amazing that the old city lord of Qicheng, who was about to pass away, was still obsessed with it and insisted on handing it over to him.
