More than 20,000 soldiers passed through the village in a mighty manner, and it took most of the day just to pass there.
When we finally reached the border, another day had passed.
Back in the city, it seems that it is still the same as before. Not much has changed. People are coming and going on the streets, and it is as lively as before.
Just seeing Liu Shengsheng return, the city was still slightly noisy for a while.
The new city lord was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Perhaps he knew how powerful Liu Shengsheng was, or perhaps he was afraid, so he entered the city gate. He led a large group of people to greet him not far away. .
"See you, Princess!"
"See you, Your Highness, the princess is a thousand years old!"
Before anyone even got off the carriage, Liu Shengsheng heard a loud greeting.
She poked her head out and glanced outside the carriage, and saw a large group of people kneeling in front of her. .
The leading middle-aged man stood up slowly, and then ran forward with a flattering look on his face.
"Knowing that Her Royal Highness the Princess will arrive today, I have been waiting here for a long time, and finally waited for the Princess's arrival. It is getting late today, and I have already prepared delicious food at my house. I sincerely invite Your Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort to join us. Let’s have dinner at the city lord’s mansion.”
It seems to be the new city lord.
This city lord is more capable than the previous one.
Liu Shengsheng originally thought that she would just find a restaurant to stay for one night and officially leave Liguo tomorrow.
Since the new city lord was so sincere, Liu Shengsheng did not refuse. After accepting, he followed the new city lord all the way to the city lord's mansion.
And Nan Muze asked people to settle the 20,000 soldiers.
After having a good meal tonight, after leaving the city gate tomorrow, we will have to continue traveling day and night until we return to the border of Fengqing Country, and then we can completely relax.
As soon as he got off the carriage and walked into the gate of the city lord's mansion, all the servants inside and outside bowed respectfully.
"Welcome to Your Highness the Princess!"
"..."
Liu Shengsheng was a little speechless by this battle. They just came here to stay for one night. Are these people so exaggerated?
Take a look at the entire City Lord's Mansion. It's decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it look like it's the New Year.
The new city lord nodded and bowed next to her.
"I have long heard that the daughter of Your Highness the Princess, Chen Yuluoyan, is a unique beauty in the world. When I saw her today, she was really sparkling. She is truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!"
Liu Shengsheng curled her lips and said, "You have flattered me a lot along the way."
The new city lord smiled and said, "Everything I said is true. They are all true words from the bottom of my heart."
With that said, he said to the front: "Princess, please."
I have to say that this new city lord is really good at things. I thought he was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that he actually prepared a large table of delicious food.
It was as if he had really been waiting for a long time.
When Liu Shengsheng and Nan Muze sat down, the city lord did not sit down, but stood humbly beside him, "Your Highness, do you think these meals are to your liking?"
Liu Shengsheng glanced at him, "Aren't you tired of standing and talking? Sit down."
He shook his head and said, "How can this be done? The princess is a rich man and a humble official. How dare you sit at the same table with the princess?"
Liu Shengsheng said coldly, "Sit down."
The new city lord's expression changed and he sat across from him on the spot, "Yes."
"What do you call it?"
"My surname is Sun. Your Highness the Princess can call me whatever you want."
"Okay, then I'll call you City Master Sun."
Liu Shengsheng finished speaking as if nothing had happened, and then she and Nan Muze started eating by themselves.
Seeing that City Master Sun didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, he gave him another look. He immediately started to eat respectfully, but he only dared to eat. At most, he just picked up the two dishes in front of him and finished the whole bowl of rice in a few seconds. , and then respectfully guarded the door.
Yichen was eating at a table outside with another group of brothers when he met the city lord
Walking out, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "This new city lord is quite sensible, much more sensible than the previous one."
The people sitting with him were all the best among the 20,000 soldiers. They were mainly responsible for managing the order of the team, and they were all more or less capable.
I only heard one of them whisper: "Perhaps because we know that the previous city lord was deposed because of our princess, so we don't dare to be disrespectful to the princess at all, right?"
Yichen smiled and shook his head, "The girl's prestige is really getting higher and higher."
Another person said: "On the way here, I heard that this city lord is popular among the people. Many people voted for him in person."
"Oh? The common people chose it?"
"Yes, it is said that the new city lord is patriotic, loves the people, and is friendly. Ever since he became the city lord here, he has done a lot for the people. Almost every citizen praises him."
Yichen smiled and said, "You are so sensible, no wonder you are so popular."
"I just heard that this city lord seems to have no sons. He married two wives and gave birth to a daughter. Although it is a daughter, she is very precious."
"I just heard that his daughter seemed to be tossing a hydrangea ball to choose a bride, and the hydrangea ball was picked up by a poor scholar. Tsk tsk, that's a pity."
"It is indeed a pity that now that you are the lord of the city, your only daughter has to marry a shabby scholar. I can only say that the lord of the city is really honest. Otherwise, who would care about such a marriage?"
There was nothing to do along the way. When the soldiers sat together to eat, they would occasionally chat.
Yichen has long been used to it, and he also said happily: "That scholar is still very powerful, and a sparrow turned into a phoenix."
Several people laughed and raised their wine glasses while eating.
Now that everything has settled and we can return to China soon, having a drink or two at night is no longer a big deal.
After Liu Shengsheng and Nan Muze had eaten and drank, they also walked into the small courtyard.
Everyone in the city lord's mansion was cautious, fearing to offend Liu Shengsheng.
City Master Sun was always following the two of them politely, and from time to time he would tell his men to hurry up and tidy up the house.
Liu Shengsheng felt a little uncomfortable being followed, so she sent him away.
After walking around the courtyard and hearing the story of the city lord's daughter, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Why do they all like to throw hydrangeas to choose a bride? And the one who picks up the hydrangea has to marry. If the hydrangea falls into the hands of a beggar, the girl who threw the hydrangea will cry to death?"
Nan Muze said softly: "That won't happen. When throwing hydrangeas, most hosts will send people to drive away the beggars around."
Liu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows, "But stories like this about the poor scholar and the wealthy lady are common in storybooks."
Nan Muze stroked her hair, "Really? All I see is the prince and the rich lady."
Liu Shengsheng's lips twitched and she couldn't help but give him a roll of her eyes. This guy is really getting more and more sinister!
However, he can still read scripts?
real or fake?
