After a long voyage, when Black Moon City was in sight, all the restlessness and anxiety calmed down.
Back, thank God, finally back alive.
Everyone stood on the deck, feeling so excited.
Such cruel battles, such difficult environments, I was desperate several times, and survived several times.
Some people even couldn't believe that they could come back safely when they thought about what happened during this period, and almost cried with joy.
Xiao Yi, Jiang Qi, and Liu Yan understand everyone's mood very well. After all, the battle in the Immortal Mountains still gives them nightmares.
Well, no matter what, it would be nice to come back.
The ship enters the harbor and approaches the shore.
Originally, there were many ships coming and going every day, coming in and out, nothing surprising.
But when Su Baijing and Dong Wang stepped off the boat, they immediately attracted the attention of all the residents.
In the past, the city lord's wife, who was charming and enchanting, a peerless beauty, and always unattainable, now looked a little haggard, and her clothes and hair accessories were also a little dirty.
Dong Wang has always been striding forward with great momentum, but now his eyes are full of exhaustion and decline.
Looking at their men, they were all in ragged clothes, their eyes were dull, and they were weak in walking.
This is obviously a big defeat.
The news spread quickly, and more and more people gathered at the port.
Everyone looked at Su Baijing and Dong Wang who came back in disbelief.
Who can believe that such a lineup of masters, attacking with the momentum of victory, now escapes like a dog that hurts the family.
Someone began to count the number of people who had returned, and gradually discovered that something was wrong. Not only were many people missing, but an important person was also missing.
Wait a minute, where is King Bei? Why don't you see King Bei?
The good people confirmed again and again that King Bei was indeed not found.
The crowd began to talk a lot and made bad assumptions, that is, they were afraid that they would lose their troops on this trip, and even those heading north would be killed.
Su Baijing had a calm face, without saying a word, and hurriedly walked back to the City Lord's Mansion despite everyone's surprised gazes.
The King of the East would naturally go to the city lord's palace to recover, so he asked his men to go back on their own.
The subordinates looked at Su Baijing and Dong Wang's heavy steps, and couldn't help but imagine the pressure the two of them were under at the moment. They must be afraid of how they would explain all this when they saw Yin Heiye later.
Xiao Yi, Liu Yan and Jiang Qi didn't care and went back to their residences directly to have a good rest.
To be honest, I have been floating on the sea during this period, dangling from time to time. I am a little uncomfortable, so it is better to keep my feet on the ground.
Also, eating seafood all the time seems quite off-putting.
Jiang Qi vowed that as soon as he returned to Dongfu, he would eat and drink several times to replenish his nutrition.
"Wait a minute, maybe the craftsmanship of the assassin is better. I might as well go to her house to eat."
When he thought of this, Jiang Qi wanted to leave the team and secretly find his beloved female assassin.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi discovered this guy's evil intentions in time and dragged him back.
Liu Yan was speechless. He had just come back, but Jiang Qi didn't know how to calm down and wanted to disturb others.
This makes people confused. Jiang Qi has no interest in doing anything on weekdays and looks lazy.
Why is it that when it comes to the female assassin, this guy is as energetic as chicken blood? Could this be considered a gift?
What the three of them didn't know was that there were assassins in the crowd just now.
The direction where Jiang Qi left the team just now and was going quietly, if the assassin saw it correctly, was her home.
"Oh my god, it's so dangerous, so scary, so scary."
The assassin was frightened for a while, secretly grateful to Xiao Yi for holding Jiang Qi back, otherwise he would have another nightmare tonight.
When he thought of this, the assassin wiped the cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Gradually, the crowd, which became less exciting to watch, finally dispersed, but the gossip had just begun.
After Su Baijing led the troops on the expedition, the news that the wounded soldiers were returning with broken troops spread to every corner of Black Moon City in a short period of time.
For a time, people were panicked.

Chapter 283: No movement is unusual
Last time, plus this time, Black Moon City had suffered two defeats, which was not a good sign.
Not only did this news spread quickly, but in the process of spreading, it has been processed by many kinds of personal subjective speculations and has derived several versions.
For example, some versions are like this. The reason why Su Baijing escaped unscathed was because King Bei sacrificed his life and died. Otherwise, it is unexplainable. The few people from Bei Mansion came back.
There are also very unreliable versions, saying that the enemy was too strong, Su Baijing escaped before the battle, causing the Northern King to be trapped in a tight siege, and Su Baijing was fully responsible for the defeat, etc.
Some versions say that if they lose to the pirates this time, the pirates will be able to attack Black Moon City next time, and then the creatures will be dyed.
If these gossips are still within the tolerance range, then there is a version that simply reveals the scars in Su Baijing's heart.
It was said that Black Moon City sent people out to fight pirates, but not only were they killed by the pirates, but Su Baijing, the wife of the city lord, almost became the pirate king.
This once made people suspect that the rumor monger was at the scene.
What's even more outrageous is that among the many versions, this one is the one that everyone talks about the most.
As a result, the story of Su Baijing and the pirate woman became the most popular among the many versions spread.
Xiao Yi was speechless after hearing the news. This was a group of people watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
But what bothered Xiao Yi the most was not the news that caused a stir in the city, nor was it Su Baijing's angry expression after knowing the news.
But this time the expedition forces suffered heavy casualties, so what kind of attitude would Yin Heiye have? He would definitely be furious, and then he would lead the expedition himself.
But quietly on the contrary, everything was calm in the City Lord's Mansion.
Calculating the time, it has been a while since Su Baijing returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and Yin Heiye should know everything, so it shouldn't be like this.
Xiao Yi stood on the roof with his arms folded, staring at the towering City Lord's Mansion, but never felt a powerful and angry wave.
"Damn it, can you bear this?"
Xiao Yi frowned, he was defeated and not angry. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
Your wife was almost taken over by someone. You can tolerate this, or is it a man?
This has nothing to do with demeanor. Any bloody man, even a majestic king, will be furious.
Xiao Yi didn't believe that unless he was crushed by strength, people would encounter unpleasant things, lose control of their emotions, and get angry.
If you can tolerate this, then there must be a compelling reason.
Severely injured and weak, without the strength to rage or the ability to seek revenge.
In Xiao Yi's mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Yinheiye launched an attack thousands of miles away, rushed to Su Baijing's aid and bombarded Hai Dalong. .
