As time went by, the color in the sky gradually turned dim.
The scorching sun that was originally hanging high in the sky has now mostly sunk behind the mountains in the west.
It was indeed getting late.
Although the sun is shining and the temperature is suitable during the day.
Once night falls, the temperature drops rapidly like a dive.
The four of them looked up and saw that the bright red sun was sliding down the mountainside little by little, and was about to disappear completely.
The four of them looked into the distance again at the same time.
"I say, will your brother, the emperor, be able to arrive today?"
Everyone waited for almost two hours, and Jiang Ling couldn't help but ask.
Yes, that's why they gathered here.
The purpose is to wait for and welcome the arrival of the Emperor from the Southern Song Dynasty - Nangong Yumo.
After all, the king of a country is able to come in person to congratulate them, and as the host, it would be unreasonable if they don’t even come to the city gate to greet him in person.
Hearing Jiang Ling's question, Yue Qianli on the side seemed quite calm and composed.
He responded calmly:
“It should be soon.
According to the news sent back from the front, they have been traveling non-stop and speeding up all the way.
At this rate of travel, we'll arrive today at the latest."
Since practicing, Yue Qianli's temperament has become more calm and peaceful, and he seems to be able to remain calm in the face of any situation.
Sure enough, his words had just fallen.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the cherry blossom avenue in the distance leading towards Minami-Ue Castle.
On the avenue, a team of luxuriously decorated carriages were galloping towards us at lightning speed.
Seeing this, the four of them looked at each other and quickly got down from the city wall.
They just waited quietly at the city gate until the carriage stopped in front of them.
A head popped out from the carriage.
He waved his hands excitedly and shouted loudly.
"Fourth Brother, Brother Jiang, long time no see!"
It’s actually Nangong Ye?
Immediately afterwards, two heads popped out from a carriage behind.
"Hehehe, fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, congratulations!"
Jiang Ling couldn't help but want to correct Nangong Yumo's address, but he never had the chance.
Just as he was about to speak, a young man's clear voice rang out.
"Uncle Si, Aunt Si, congratulations, I'm sorry to bother you."
Forget it, he doesn't want to correct anything, so let it be.
"Big brother, fifth brother, little nephew, thank you for your hard work along the way.
Let's go into the city first!" Jiang Ling said, and then he pulled Yue Qianli into Nangong Yumo's car.
And Shen Yinyun got into Nangong Ye's car and led the way.
In the carriage, Yue Qianli was chatting with Nangong Yumo. Nangong Yumo was the main person talking, and Yue Qianli nodded in response and occasionally said a few words.
It's quite harmonious and not awkward.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, we've come all the way here. This cement road is really nice.
Not bumpy at all and very fast.
It took less than ten days to get from Nanyu City to your place.
We stopped for some time on the way.”
Nangong Yumo excitedly shared the feeling this cement road gave him.
Then, his eyes kept looking out the car window.
When Jiang Ling heard this, he smiled and nodded.
“Well, the cement road is really nice.
It is especially convenient to travel on rainy days without worrying about getting stuck in the mud.
The danger affects the itinerary.
The main thing is that it greatly shortens the travel time between the two places.
If you ride fast, it will only take about ten days to go back and forth.
If you go a little slower, you can make a round trip in about 20 days.
This makes it very convenient for both traveling and doing business.”
After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.
At this time, Nangong Yumo sighed again.
"Oh my god, your Northern City is so beautiful!
It’s even bigger than Nanyu City!
The flowers and green plants on both sides of the road are in full bloom and dancing in the wind.
It's like welcoming people into the city.
Just looking at it makes people feel happy and at home.
Once you come here, you don’t want to leave.”
Nangong Yumo was really surprised by the environment in front of him.
I thought it was good, but I didn’t expect it to be so good.
How much manpower, material resources and financial resources will this cost?
My fourth brother and his wife are so generous.
Jiang Ling was very happy to hear the emperor praising his city.
After all, everyone has contributed a lot to make today's prosperity possible.
So, he said happily.
“If you don’t want to leave, just play for a while longer.
This month, we have a lot of fun activities in the North.
There will be a thousand buffet tables for everyone to enjoy free of charge at noon tomorrow.
They are all wild animals hunted in the mountains and vegetables grown by ourselves.
I guarantee you’ll be raving about it.”
After a pause, he continued.
“Then, every store in the city has a promotion, the more you buy, the more you save, and the whole city is connected.
One-stop service for eating, drinking, playing and having fun.
There are many interesting activities both in and outside the city.
For example, the biggest one is the Peach Blossom Fairy Competition in Peach Blossom Mountain.
It lasts for ten days.
If you are interested, you can go and join in the fun.
Then there is the market and garden activities on Sakura Avenue.
So, in the coming month, whether it is eating, drinking, living or playing, it will all be a very special enjoyment.
I guarantee you’ll come with excitement and leave with joy, making the trip worthwhile.”
