Even the ground seemed to be covered with a golden carpet. The wind blew and the ginkgo leaves danced like butterflies.
Xueqiu was drowsy, so Ling Xuewei left the little one to continue sleeping while she left the inn.
Walking on the street, I stepped on the ginkgo leaves and made a crisp sound.
In the sky, the sun shines through the thick ginkgo branches and leaves, leaving spots of light on the ground, which make the golden apricot leaves even more dazzling.
People are coming and going on the street, but they are not in a hurry. It seems that everything in this beautiful city has been slowed down, and so is the pace of people's lives.
The people here are very friendly, and even outsiders can feel at home here.
Her heart was rarely very calm.
Not in a hurry, I visited several shops and stalls and bought some interesting gadgets and gifts for the little one, as well as some Yicheng-specific snacks.
"Baozi! Steamed buns with thin skin and fragrant meat! They are delicious and not expensive!"
Ling Xuewei heard the sound and walked over.
"Your Majesty, do you want to eat steamed buns? Our steamed buns are very delicious! There are many repeat customers, please try it! It's delicious and not expensive, but if it's not delicious, it's free!"
Ling Xuewei took the hot buns that had just come out of the oven and took a bite. The meat juice overflowed and the aroma was rich. It was so delicious that you wanted to bite your tongue off.
Well, it's really good.
"I want them all."
"ah?"
The bun vendor was dumbfounded, but he quickly responded, "Okay! Thank you for your patronage!"
There were indeed a lot of delicacies in Yicheng. After a while, Ling Xuewei wrapped up the food from three stalls and ate while walking. The rest was thrown into the space, ready to be taken back to Xueqiu for a taste.
The little guy eats a lot, but it's not enough to fit between his teeth.
She threw the two to the hill in the darkness and continued to wander.
Xiaoshan, "..."
His master seems to have misunderstood something.
He really doesn't like eating these.
Xiao Shan silently took a bite. The meat was fragrant and delicious, and soon the two were gone.
"Xiao Shan, you go back. You don't have to follow me. I'll go shopping for a while."
The empress' voice came to my ears, and then she disappeared.
Xiao Shan paused for a moment and then returned to the inn.
Ling Xuewei turned a corner, and the twisted alley came into view.
This place is even more unique. There are many stalls with dazzling displays, and even more delicious food. Now Xueqiu is in a good mood.
Then he went to a dozen stalls and went to a nearby teahouse with a bunch of food in his arms, ready to have a rest.
I asked for a private room, leaned against the window, and looked at the crowd below.
"You guys have been following me all this way, why don't you come down and have a cup of tea together?"
She suddenly spoke.
Those who didn't know, thought she was talking to herself.
There was no movement.
With a twist of her wrist, she spilled the tea in her hand, and the person lying outside was swept away. He fell heavily and hit the stall below.
Bang!
More than a dozen figures suddenly appeared, and the roof collapsed. Ling Xuewei jumped out and landed on a stone pillar in the distance with one foot.
More than a dozen people were dressed as mercenaries, holding weapons and looking murderous.
Ling Xuewei frowned.
Although these dozen people are mercenaries, they are not very strong.
Could it be that she sensed something wrong?
"Who sent you?"
"Boy, you have no right to know! If you want to blame, I blame you for offending someone! We also use money to help others to eliminate disasters, so go to hell!"
As he said that, he rushed forward.
Ling Xuewei remained motionless as a horrified scream came from below.
Suddenly, a fierce coercion rushed out of her body, and those people felt a chill all over their bodies, and then they knew nothing.
Bang bang bang!
One by one they fell to the ground and passed out completely.
It was quiet all around.
Then a scream, "Ah!!"
"Why did they faint suddenly?"
"What happened?"
The people talked a lot and soon attracted the escort.
After understanding the whole story, he came over and said, "Young Master, you are not allowed to fight in the city. Please come with me."
Ling Xuewei, "..."
Play big time.
So, when Xiaoshan came to pick him up from the prison, Ling Xuewei's expression was really hard to describe.
Hui Feng also came with him, and the guard next to him bowed to him repeatedly with a flattering look on his face.
"Deputy Commander Hui is here to greet you at a distance. Why don't you bother to go there in person if you just give me an order?"
Hui Fengli ignored him and stepped forward quickly, "Young Master..."
"I'm fine."
Ling Xuewei waved her hand.
There was a rare evil look on Xiaoshan Mumu's face, and he stared at the arresting guards, wishing to cut them into pieces.
The guards trembled and felt a chill down their spines for no reason.
That follower...why was he looking at them with such terrifying eyes?
"Let's go."
Xiaoshan and Huifeng surrounded Ling Xuewei and left. After they left, the guards were already soaked to the skin.
"Oh my god, it's so scary. Who is that young master? It looks like Deputy Commander Hui is very nervous about him?"
"Who says it's not the case? He went directly to the city to ask for the master without saying a word! He knew Deputy Captain Hui and told him earlier, but the brothers didn't know..."
They are also very aggrieved.
It's really not Ling Xuewei's fault. She didn't know that Huifeng had such a big influence here. Besides, it's better not to let anyone know about such embarrassing things, right?
"My Majesty, this subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish me."
Once outside, Xiaoshan immediately knelt down.
Xiao Shan felt very guilty and should not have left. Otherwise, the empress would not have gone to that kind of place. With her noble status, how could she endure such grievances?
"I don't blame you, I asked you to go back first."
Ling Xuewei was helpless. In fact, it was nothing, and she had not been treated badly in prison.
Huifeng next to her also looked guilty. She was speechless. Did these two of them really treat her as a doll?
"Okay, let's go back first. Xueqiu should be waiting impatiently at the inn."
At this time, I saw a group of people rushing over from a distance. The leader was a man in brocade clothes. He looked like he was in his thirties or forties, gentle and elegant.
"Brother Hui! I'm so rude! Is this Young Master Ling? I'm sorry, Young Master Ling. It's Cheng who has been lax in his duties, and you have been wronged."
He said and cupped his hands to her.
Huifeng stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is the Lord of Yicheng."
It turns out that he is the city lord who Yuan Ao said was the one who built Yicheng because he admired the Independent State?
From the outside, you really can't tell.
Ling Xuewei nodded gently to him, "Long time admirer."
"Mr. Ling, you're so polite. Cheng has prepared some food and wine, and I've invited a few of you to show your respect. I'll take it as an apology."
Under his warm invitation, Ling Xuewei couldn't refuse, so she accepted.
Cheng Yun was careful and picked two smart ones and led Ling Xuewei to change clothes first, but Xiao Shan was not at ease and naturally followed.
"Brother Hui, who is this Mr. Ling? How did you come here to ask for someone in person?"
In Cheng Yun's mind, this man is not a nosy person. Not many people can catch his eye. (To be continued)
