Early in the morning, many people came to the city gate.
Everyone knew that the second in command was coming, and they all waited at the city gate early.
Bei Yutang and the villagers of Shantou Village rushed over early in the morning. The officers and soldiers guarding the city wall stared at the mighty troops approaching from afar without blinking.
When they got really close, the officers and soldiers on the tower couldn't wait to ask, "Are they the second-in-command of the Lei family and the people from Santou Village?"
The people in Shantou Village were very curious about how they knew they were coming, and even more curious was why they were asking about the second in command of the Lei family. There was no second in command of the Lei family here.
The village chief spoke up, "We are from Shantou Village, yes, but there is no second-in-command of the Lei family."
"Ah?" The officers and soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded.
Didn’t the second-in-command of the Lei family come here with the people from Shantou Village?
"Are you really from Shantou Village?" The officers and soldiers looked at them suspiciously.
The village chief puffed his beard and glared, "Of course it is. If it's not us, then who else could it be?"
Dai Xiang walked forward with a smile, "Sir, our wife is here."
The officers' eyes suddenly lit up, "Is he really the second in command of the Lei family?"
"It's genuine." Daixiang said affirmatively.
The villagers of Shantou Village were shocked and stared at Bei Yutang and his group with wide eyes.
The village chief trembled and said, "Madam Mu, you, you are the second in command?"
Bei Yutang nodded.
After hearing the accurate news from her, the villagers of Shantou Village were very excited.
"Everyone, quickly kowtow to our benefactor. She saved us after the flood, and now she's saving us again from the plague."
As the village chief finished speaking, all the villagers knelt down.
Bei Yutang hurriedly stopped him, "Village Chief, this is absolutely not allowed."
"Get up, everyone get up."
It took a long time before all the villagers were pulled up.
Everyone looked at Bei Yutang curiously, their eyes and expressions were as if they were seeing Bei Yutang for the first time.
"I was wondering who was so capable. Turns out he's the second-in-command."
"The second-in-command is really amazing."
"If I had known that Madam Mu was the second-in-command, I would have been among the first to be vaccinated."
"That's right."
"Second in command is really low-key."
At the same time, the officers and soldiers on the tower received accurate information and hurriedly shouted to the people below: "They are coming! They are coming!"
When the people under the city wall heard this, they were shocked and stretched their necks to stare at the city gate.
The city gate slowly opened, with Bei Yutang's carriage leading the way, flanked by a group of villagers from the hilltop villages. As they entered the city, they saw the streets filled with people.
The people in the city were looking for Bei Yutang in the crowd, but they couldn't see anyone who fit the image of the second in command in their minds.
"The Second in Command must be in the carriage."
"It must be in the carriage."
…
Dai Xiang quietly lifted a bit of the carriage curtain and saw that both sides of the street were filled with people. She had only seen such a grand occasion when the emperor was traveling or when Master Wu Chen appeared.
This time, the person they welcomed was not the emperor, nor Master Wu Chen, but their wife.
A sense of pride appeared on Daixiang's little face.
The calm boy Zi Mo was also very excited in his heart. They were welcoming his mother, which made him feel very proud.
Little Mo'er has secretly vowed in his heart that he will be like his mother in the future.
