226, night banquet
Cangyun City is very lively tonight. After the Northern Jin people retreated, the city lord left Cangyun City overnight and disappeared. Naturally, he did not have time to hold a celebration banquet. Now that the city lord has returned, he has brought back the future city lord's wife. The heads and minds of Cangyun City are excited and naturally think that they will take the opportunity to be lively and lively when they don't do it together before.
As for the generals who had not appeared at the city gate to welcome Jun Wuhuan and Chu Ling together, they were even more excited. Only when their bosses said that the future city lord's wife was extremely beautiful, everyone naturally wanted to see what kind of beauty was. You know, although their city lord often wears masks, they were enough to look down on the side just by looking at the aura and outstanding strength. Although there are many beautiful girls in Cangyun City, they were all looked at without any presence when standing in front of the city lord. How could such a woman be worthy of being the city lord's wife of Cangyun City? Now the city lord finally brought one back, and all the generals praised each other, so everyone naturally looked forward to it.
The banquet hall of the city lord's mansion was already full of people. All the high school generals in Cangyun City, managers and important people in various places who need to be on duty and cannot leave their posts, are all here. Mingyao and you all have the first position to look around with satisfaction. It is rare to be so lively, but it is a pity that Huan Yu and Yun Xingyue are not there. Opposite Mingyao are the commander of the fourth battalion of Cangyun Army. The fourth battalion of Cangyun is divided into the Qinglong White Tiger Xuanwu Zhuque. The ranking is not divided into front and back, and the seats are divided according to the age of the four generals. The oldest one is the commander of the Qinglong Camp Bai Xing, followed by the commander of the Baihu Camp, Shen Huai of the Xuanwu Camp, and finally Yu Fanzhou, the commander of the Zhuque Camp. Compared with the other three, they are in their forties, the Zhuque Camp is the youngest among the high-ranking generals in Cangyun City, and only twenty-seven years old this year.
The four lords were sitting back with deputy generals of each battalion, etc., and facing them all, the people sitting on Mingyao had different identities. There were scholars who seemed to be powerless, merchants with a smart face, and martial arts practitioners with a fierce intent. So many people gathered in the lord's mansion together, even Cangyun City was rare. Everyone couldn't help but value the identity of this girl Ling even more.
"Mr. Ming, that girl Ling..." A middle-aged man approached Mingyao and asked in a low voice. Although his voice was low, the people around him still raised their ears to hear Mingyao's answer. Mingyao smiled and took a sip of the wine in the glass, and laughed softly, "Didn't you say that the future city lord's wife is inseparable from ten."
"This...isn't it..." The person who asked the question said hesitantly. Mingyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you saying?" The middle-aged man said, "I heard... the city lord has a junior sister, and there are several girls in the city who admire the city lord's identity as well. The identity of this girl Ling..." Doesn't this include your cousin? If you become the city lord's cousin', it will be more glorious than now.
Mingyao snorted lightly and said lightly, "Don't spread the news from hearing, the city lord is not as easy as me. If the city lord is interested in any girl in Cangyun City, how can he wait until now? As for Miss Ling's identity... I can only say that no other place, I am afraid that no girl in Cangyun City can compare with her. Besides, what's the point of the city lord's attention to whether the city lord values identity or not? Don't worry." As for his cousin, Mingyao doubts whether Jun Wuhuan knows what the name of Mingxuan is, what the stupid girl is. And the youngest sister of the city lord's family... that girl is pretty good, but unfortunately she is blind.
Hearing the coldness in Mingyao's words, the middle-aged man quickly shrank his neck and turned away. The others naturally listened to Mingyao's words and remembered them in their hearts.
There are almost no one in Cangyun City who dares to point fingers at the city lord's marriage. Yan Ling is not an ordinary second-generation who inherits the family business and needs to consider various relationships. Cangyun City was built by him, and he even has kindness to most of the people here. In recent years, no one can control the city lord's refusal to get married. Now that the city lord is interested in getting married, everyone should laugh at him. Where dare he care who he wants to marry? On the contrary, those who are not very identities and cannot get in touch with too much core information are more courageous and more thoughtful. But they just think about it, but they can't affect any decision after all.
"The city lord is here! Miss Ling is here!"
The sound of the guards came from outside the door. Everyone looked back and saw a pair of beautiful men walking in from outside. Jun Wuhuan was wearing a silver-gray dress and slender and upright figure. The dark golden cloud pattern embroidery on the clothes added a bit of grace. The woman who walked side by side with him was indeed wearing a light blue dress. It was only at a glance that people could see that the clothes were extraordinary. However, not many people really looked at the clothes that were of extraordinary value. More people fell on her face, and they couldn't help but praise her in their hearts.
The woman who could make everyone praised by Cangyun City was indeed as outstanding as they thought. No, it was even better than they thought.
Not to mention the delicate and beautiful girl in blue, what is amazing is that she walked beside the city lord but was not suppressed by the city lord's aura. It should be noted that many women who were known as beauty stood in front of the city lord's gorgeous clothes, but ended up being dull and could only retreat in a hurry. The girl was just dressed in light blue clothes, with a faint smile on her lips, and she did not have any deliberate expression. Naturally, it gave people a sense of aura that was as good as the city lord standing side by side.
"I've met the city lord." Everyone greeted each other in unison.
Jun Wuhuan pulled Chu Ling to the main seat and sat down, as if he had not seen the surprised gazes of everyone below. He said lightly, "Thank you all for your hard work when the tribe is coming this time."
Mingyao smiled and said, "The city lord is so serious, it's all the things that his subordinates and others do."
Jun Wuhuan nodded slightly, looked at Chu Ling and said, "This is Miss Ling. From now on, people in Cangyun City will feel as if they see her."
Upon hearing this, everyone was upset. Chu Ling also looked at Jun Wuhuan in surprise. She understood Jun Wuhuan's intentions and was very happy, but she did not expect Jun Wuhuan to say such words. It should be noted that Jun Wuhuan is not an ordinary person, nor is he just the owner of Lingxiao Trading Company. He is the lord of Cangyun City with more than 200,000 soldiers. The more valuable his identity is, the greater the impact of any decision he makes. Therefore, the higher the power, the harder it is to make a promise.
Jun Wuhuan curled his lips slightly and smiled at Chu Ling, and gently tapped the back of her hand twice to indicate that it would be fine.
Mingyao below had already stood up and said, "Sir, obey the order, have you seen Miss Ling!"
The four main generals, Zhenniang and several other managers also stood up, "I have met Miss Ling!"
In this way, the previous few people made their statements, and the people behind them were even more reluctant to say anything. They also bowed and said, "I obey the order and have met Miss Ling."
Jun Wuhuan nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, please sit down. Tonight is to welcome A Ling and celebrate you. You can drink with all your heart, and I will issue rewards according to your achievements tomorrow."
"Thank you, the city lord!"
The hall soon became lively. Mingyao sat down and smiled and raised his glasses to Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan on the main seat. Jun Wuhuan raised his eyebrows slightly, reached out and picked up the wine glass, raised his head and lowered his head and drank it all.
The banquet continued until late at night, and the entire city lord's mansion seemed to be filled with the fragrance of wine. Jun Wuhuan had no intention of restraining these subordinates. After a war that lasted for several months, everyone needed to relax. Moreover, the defense of the place should not be loose, and it would be harmless for these idle people to drink occasionally.
In the second half of the banquet, Jun Wuhuan pulled Chu Ling to leave the venue. Chu Ling listened to the laughter in the hall behind him, and couldn't help but look back and asked, "Can you leave early, okay?" Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "If I don't leave, they will be uncomfortable." Mu Ling's own aura was too strong. Even if he deliberately restrained himself, no one dared to come to him to drink. Staying there all the time made the people below uncomfortable. What's more... "Don't A Ling dislike such occasions?"
Chu Ling shook her head and smiled, "I don't like it." She just had a bit awkward identity. Everyone in Cangyun City regarded her as the future wife of the city lord, and no one except Mingyao dared to come to her to drink. So she did feel the discomfort that Jun Wuhuan said.
"I will take A Ling around, and the night view of Cangyun City is still good." Jun Wuhuan said.
"Okay, I couldn't watch it well during the day, so it was also good to see the night view."
There is no so-called curfew in Cangyun City, but there are not many people on the street at this time. The city lord's mansion is located in the center of Cangyun City. The city walls are towering on three sides, but to the south is a cliff dozens of feet high. The back of the cliff is Lingcang River. Jun Wuhuan took Chu Ling directly to the cliff south of the city. Both of them are extraordinary light skills. Jun Wuhuan was worried that Chu Ling's internal injuries would directly take her into her arms and take her to the top of the mountain in a while. The two stood at the highest place in Cangyun City, and looked down at not only the entire Cangyun City, but also the vast plains outside Cangyun City and even the mountains and hills farther away. No wonder, you can see the entire Cangyun City clearly from a distance. It is indeed a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I don't know who actually built such a city here.
Turning around, in the dark night, you can only see the thick fog below forming a sea of clouds and vaguely see the mountains opposite. If the weather is good, you may even stand here and see the turbulent Lingcang River water below.
A faint crescent moon hung in the sky. Chu Ling followed Jun Wuhuan around the top of the mountain and couldn't help but take a deep breath, praising, "What a good place."
Jun Wuhuan reached out and pulled down the mask on his face, revealing a pale face below, pulled her to sit next to him and said, "Does A Ling like it?"
Chu Ling put his arm on his knees, leaned against him, dragged his chin, and looked at the city lord's mansion below, which was still brightly lit in the center of the city, nodding, "Of course I like it."
Jun Wuhuan said, "It's good if Ah Ling likes it."
Chu Ling looked up at him and asked curiously, "How many people in Cangyun City have seen your true face?"
Chu Ling smiled and said, "Even if there are not many, there are not many. I wear a mask... Part of the reason is because of Jun Wuhuan's identity, but not all of them." Chu Ling nodded. In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and it is even more inconvenient to send messages. There are neither photos nor videos. Even the portraits of the top painters are hard to describe due to style reasons. If you just want to hide your identity, Jun Wuhuan really doesn't have to wear a mask.
"What's that for?"
Jun Wuhuan said helplessly, "I'm in poor health, even worse in the early years." Chu Ling blinked her eyes and realized for a moment. Jun Wuhuan was handsome and thin, and it was nothing to look sick. But Yan Ling, the lord of Cangyun City, must not be a sick person. Especially in the early days, if Mu Ling was in poor health than now, she would naturally be thinner. In addition, she was young, so no matter how powerful he was, no one would be willing to follow him. After all, no one wanted to follow a person who might lose his life at any time to do a business that was a life-span.
Wearing a mask, black clothes, with intimidating momentum and superb martial arts, who can tell that Mu Ling is a diseased seedling at any time?
Looking up at his handsome but pale and thin face, Chu Ling couldn't help feeling a little sad for him. He raised his hand and stroked his cheeks gently, his face was slightly cold.
"Isn't it very hard at the beginning?" Chu Ling asked softly.
Jun Wuhuan held her hand and played with it, recalling, "It's not a big deal. It's naturally much more convenient to have Lingxiao Trading Company support many things behind the scenes." In addition to being in poor health, Jun Wuhuan had to admit that he had never suffered too many setbacks over the years. Perhaps God couldn't bear to see him go too smoothly, which gave him such an identity that really made him suffer.
Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly and said, "Do you know, why did we say that in the hall just now?"
Chu Ling saw that he didn't say anything, Jun Wuhuan said, "Huan Yu is good at abilities, but his ambition is not here. If I really have something to do, his personality may not be able to suppress the people below. Mingyao has a better personality, but his intelligence is not as good as Huan Yu. As for the four generals of Baijiang and Shen Yu, to be honest, if they really start a full-scale war with the Clan, it would be a bit difficult for others except Yu Fanzhou to be alone. Fortunately, there has been an older general Xie in the past two years, but Xie is already old..."
"Jun Wuhuan, what do you want to say?" Chu Ling frowned slightly and looked at Jun Wuhuan and said.
Jun Wuhuan put his chin on her shoulder and whispered, "It's nothing, I just want to say that if I have any inconvenience, I will still have to take care of Cangyun City."
Chu Ling gave him a look that you knew, and said, "Young Master Changli looks down on me, should I be grateful?"
Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly and said, "A Ling, no one in this world likes that he can be healthy and long-lasting than me. But... I am still the Lord of Cangyun City. I have attracted such a bunch of people to gather here, so I have to consider them." Chu Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, if you really can't do it, I will not sacrifice my love for you. At most I will find another one..."
The slightly cool palm covered her lips, and Jun Wuhuan sighed, "It seems that I still have to work hard to live for a few more years." If I want me to see you and others spend time together, I will survive even if I die. If I die, you must live well. If I have someone to take care of you, I will be more at ease. It's all nonsense! Since he has already obtained it, even if he dies, he must hold it firmly in his palm!
"I'm so good." Chu Ling said with a smile, "I don't object to planning ahead, but thinking too much is not a good thing."
"A Ling is right."
The breeze blew across the two of them, and the night wind lifted her soft long hair. Jun Wuhuan reached out and gently straightened her messy hair, asking, "What do A Ling want to do in the future?" Chu Ling said lazyly, "I don't want to do anything. I ate and slept every day, had enough to play, ate, drank and had fun, and spent money like soil."
Jun Wuhuan couldn't help laughing, "If it's just like this, it's easy to do it with A Ling's ability."
Chu Ling rolled her eyes and said, "I stayed in Shangjing or Cangyun City to eat, drink and have fun, pretending that there is no sorrow outside? Although I am not a saint, I am not so heartless. In such times, how can I get the mood to eat, drink and have fun?" Jun Wuhuan said, "That's why I said, A Ling is too soft-hearted."
Although Jun Wuhuan had never been to Huanyiyuan, he still knew a little about the life the people inside lived. Ah Ling grew up in Huanyiyuan and was used to the sufferings that the people there suffered. If they were not capable, it would be fine, but Ah Ling was still capable. Such a person still maintained a peaceful and kind heart. Ah Ling was not soft-hearted?
Chu Ling was too lazy to refute her question of whether she was soft-hearted or not. She just sighed, "It's a pity that I'm not very lucky."
I finally got it and it was a peaceful and prosperous era. It was still a chaotic era!
Jun Wuhuan fiddled with two jade pendants on her wrist with one hand and said, "Is this... what special meaning does it mean to A Ling?"
Jun Wuhuan has seen these two small jade pendants several times, except for the marks engraved on it that are not very obvious, whether in shape or material, it is nothing special. However, it is definitely not an ordinary thing to be worn by Ah Ling all the time. But it doesn't seem like something from the Apocalypse Royal Family.
Chu Ling raised his hand, and the jade pendant swayed slightly on his wrist with a luster luster.
It took a while before Chu Ling sighed, "What... a very important person gave it to me."
"A very important person?" Jun Wuhuan raised his eyebrows slightly, Chu Ling looked at him with a smile, and said, "Well, a very important person."
Jun Wuhuan pulled down her wrist and held it, "Where is she now? Is Ah Ling looking for her?"
Chu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of this, I really want to find someone, but I don't know if I can find it."
Jun Wuhuan said, "Ling, maybe I can help?"
Chu Ling nodded, "It's good, it's okay to find it, it doesn't matter if you can't find it. After all... I'm not sure if she is there..." Jun Wuhuan was stunned, thinking that she was talking about it, not sure if the person was still alive. He hugged her shoulder and said softly, "It's okay, even if you can't find it now, I'll find it with you if I settle down in the future, and I'll always find it."
"Okay." Chu Ling replied with a smile, looking at him curiously and said, "Young Master Changli is not jealous this time?"
Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "A Ling's friend is mine."
Chu Ling raised her eyebrows, "How do you know I'm talking about a friend?"
Jun Wuhuan smiled softly, kissed Chu Ling's eyebrows, but did not answer her question.
Not only do I know you are talking about a friend, but I also know that he must be a girl.
Although I don’t know where Ah Ling knew this girl.
But...this doesn't matter.
