Everyone kept their mouths shut, refusing to speak. Tang Hanyun couldn't pry them open one by one with his sword, so he could only sulk alone. "Don't worry, if that Saint Lady is really Xie Qingzhu, I'll be the first one to not let her go!"
Xiao Wu, Xiao Shuze and Qu Xiangwan all said "oh" and that was all that happened.
Xiao Wu put down some food on the spot and left with everyone before another wave of refugees arrived.
After another day of travel, everyone finally arrived at the imperial city of Jin Yao Kingdom.
Compared to other prefectures where people are in a hurry and frown all day long, here, it is bustling with people and everyone has smiles on their faces. War and drought seem to have no effect on this place at all.
Xiao Wu and his companions stood on the city gate and observed for a while. Suddenly, a well-organized army came out from the corner. The leading group was riding tall horses and wearing silver armor inlaid with iron blocks. The horses' hooves made a thumping sound when they stepped on the bluestone slabs.
People on both sides of the street were cheering for them, with pride on everyone's face.
After the long army stepped out of the imperial city gate, the crowd became lively again, and groups of three or two rushed in one direction.
"Ah, the Saint is going to make it rain and bless the soldiers of our Jinyao Nation."
"Let's go." Xiao Wu retracted his gaze and took out a few invisibility talismans. His peach blossom eyes were full of amusement. "Let's go and see the divine beauty of that saint."
They followed the crowd of people to a solemn altar.
But because there were so many people in the square and they arrived late, they were squeezed to the outermost area.
Xiao Wu looked at the tall men standing in front of him, curled his lips, looked around, and suddenly raised his eyebrows. He sent a message to them, "There are too many people here, and it's hard to see clearly. I'll take you to a good place."
Qu Xiangwan and Xiao Shuze have always been determined to follow Xiao Wu until death, so they agreed without hesitation. The others also didn't want to crowd together with so many people for fear of exposing their identities, so they also agreed.
They all thought that Xiao Wu would take them to climb the roof or something, but unexpectedly, Xiao Wu turned left and right and led them into a restaurant closest to the altar.
Just when they thought she wanted to get a private room, she walked past the shopkeeper without blushing or beating her heart and stepped onto the stairs to the upper floor.
This was the first time for Tang Hanyun and Li Fengyao to do such a thing. They were extremely panicked. When they wanted to ask Xiao Wu, she had already quickly stepped onto the stairs to the third floor, followed by her two lackeys, Qu Xiangwan and Xiao Shuze.
The others simply didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed. On the way, they carefully avoided the waiters coming and going, half-closed their eyes and didn't dare to look around, just like thieves.
Soon, Xiao Wu brought them to a north-facing box, but the door was still closed. Xiao Wu asked them to stand on both sides of the door so as not to block the way, and signaled them to be patient and wait.
Except for Xiao Shuze and Qu Xiangwan, the others were all guilty. They did whatever Xiao Wu asked them to do, and they didn't even dare to think about anything else.
The group waited for a while, and the waiter came up with people to serve the dishes. The moment the door of the private room opened, they walked into the room under the leadership of Xiao Wu.
The waiter and the server knew nothing about this, and even the young gentlemen sitting in the private room were unaware of it.
After entering, Xiao Wu found that there was a balcony in front of the box as wide as a wall, which was enough to accommodate everyone. She nodded with satisfaction as she looked at it. The box was indeed as good as expected.
Li Fengyao and the others saw their junior sister walking around the box carefully for several rounds, as if she was walking around her own back garden. Their faces felt hot and they felt embarrassed, but they also shamelessly agreed with the junior sister's actions in their hearts. No matter what, their goal was now easily achieved.
Tang Hanyun glanced at Xiao Wu and her lackey Qu Xiangwan, unsure what expression to put on his face. While this method might not be ideal, it worked remarkably well, didn't it? Look at this large balcony, with a view of the altar. What else could be more satisfying?
After they figured it out, they tiptoed around the box and found that it smelled really good. Well, they just wanted to experience what it felt like to be a freeloader.
Not long after the waiter and the people serving the dishes left, the door of the private room was opened again from the outside, and a young man in a black and gorgeous suit walked in.
The moment he stepped into the box, he paused for a few seconds, and his hawk-like eyes swept across every corner of the box. The dozen or so people who had already hidden their figures could not help but hold their breath and dared not move a step.
Xiao Wu was not afraid. He leaned against the wall casually, looking him up and down, thinking, this kid is quite perceptive.
She stood there and watched for a while, but it was not enough, so she tiptoed forward and walked around him.
Wow, this guy must have a pretty good figure.
The man in black and gorgeous clothes seemed to have sensed something, and his dark and deep eyes became sharper.
There seems to be something here.
When Li Fengyao saw this scene, he held his forehead and quickly stepped forward to pull her away, signaling her with his eyes to be quiet.
Xiao Wu didn't dare to disobey, and followed him to the side obediently.
"What is Ah Ye looking at?"
A call broke his thoughts. He came back to his senses, closed the door of the box with his backhand, and strode into the box. "Nothing."
After he sat down, he picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, but his hand suddenly stopped, his brows deeply furrowed, and he slowly looked towards the balcony.
Xiao Wu, who had already walked to the balcony, noticed his gaze and touched his chin. This guy was quite interesting.
Li Fengyao and Tang Hanyun naturally noticed the unusualness of the man named Aye, but they had important things to do and could not take care of her for the time being.
On the other side of the altar, the people's cheers grew louder and louder, it seemed that the saint was about to appear.
