Chapter 273
Xu Jiaotong immediately came to her senses and smiled. "Lord Qin, you must be joking. My father should be the one to welcome you personally, but you made such a big commotion in Xinji Town. If my father goes, I'm afraid that the Righteous Alliance will take advantage of the situation. Even if we don't suffer any losses, we will lose face.
If the leader of the Righteous Alliance loses morale, wouldn't your efforts in Xinji Town be for naught?
Secondly, I know that you have many important matters to attend to along the way and should not be disturbed.
Therefore, I was entrusted to go and receive you. And I … I have never seen you before, so it's not appropriate for me to go forward rashly. That's why I came up with such a plan. Not only can I not delay your journey, but I can also complete my father's task. If there's anything wrong with the arrangement, I will apologize to you. "
Qin Shiyue laughed and said, "How is it wrong? It's so thoughtful. Yingfei and this Ren Xiaoyao almost bit their tongues off. Also, I really like your wine. I've developed a craving for it."
Xu Jiaotong heard and said happily, "Since you like it, my father still has a lot. When we reach the city, I will prepare more for you."
Hearing this handsome man call her "I", Zhang Xiaohua had goosebumps all the way. She thought to herself, "Is he a trap?"
Immediately, she used her divine senses to look at Xu Jiaotong who was riding a horse in front. Zhang Xiaohua kept chanting, "See no evil, see no evil."
Of course, Xu Jiaotong did not have an Adam's apple and her breasts were bulging. Men's pectorals could not compare to her. If she was not a woman, what else could she be?
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua's heart immediately gave birth to hope that the martial world had not been taken over by handsome men.
Although Jingyue City was already very close, it still took a lot of time to get there on horseback. When Jingyue City was really close, Zhang Xiaohua then saw that this was a city much bigger than Ping Yang City. Not to mention the height of the city walls, just the city gate behind the moat was twice the size of Ping Yang City. Moreover, there were two troops of soldiers in bright armor standing on both sides of the city gate. This kind of grandeur was far from what Ping Yang City could compare with.
About 05 steps away from the moat, there were a few rows of people on horseback. These people were tall and short, fat and thin, yes, handsome and ugly. They all had a respectful look. When they saw Qin Shiyue's white hair, three hale and hearty old men standing in front of her immediately rode forward. when they got close, they dismounted and saluted together. "Three Sea Flood Dragon Kings welcome, Lord Qin.."
Seeing this, Qin Shiyue immediately dismounted and returned the salute. "I don't dare to. Three Sea Flood Dragon Kings are my seniors. You don't dare to call me that. Just call me by my name."
The red-faced old man said frankly, "If Lord Qin came alone and did not have any sect matters to attend to, this old man can be careless. Moreover, Lord Qin has a mission. You're following the orders of the sect master and carrying out the sect's official business. How can this old man dare to be rude?
It's better to do things according to the rules. "
Qin Shiyue was stunned. She smiled and said, "Since the Southern Sea Flood Dragon King says so, I won't refuse. Please forgive me. When I have time in the future, I'll come and ask for forgiveness."
Zhang Xiaohua was also stunned. This was the Southern Sea Flood Dragon King?
Xu Jiaotong's father?
Why did he look so different from Xu Jiaotong? Was … was Xu Jiaotong his biological daughter? Zhang Xiaohua's gossipy heart was instantly aroused.
The tall and thin old man next to him also said, "If Lord Qin has time, feel free to come to our Eastern Sea. This Li will welcome you with open arms."
The fat old man next to him glanced at him and said, "Don't be like those scholars who drop their cloth bags. What's there to be happy about?
Jiaojiao should be the one sweeping the bed. "
These words were blunt, but they were all common people and could not be bothered. Xu Jiaotong's face turned red. Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "Eastern Sea Flood Dragon King Li, Northern Sea Flood Dragon King Sui, this Qin is indebted to you. If I have time, I'll definitely pay you a visit."
The fat Northern Sea Flood Dragon King Sui Haifeng patted Qin Shiyue's shoulder and said with a smile, "Good, I like frank kids."
This fat man was so happy that he forgot his etiquette. He even forgot that he was calling Lord Qin. Seeing the Flood Dragon King's red face, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think maliciously, 'Could it be that the scene just now was rehearsed?
At the very least, this fat old man must have recited it countless times. '
The Southern Sea Flood Dragon King Xu Haiqing hurriedly took half a step forward and said, "Lord Qin, come here. Let me introduce you to the heroes of our Seven Water."
Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I've heard a lot about the heroes."
At this time, the seven people behind the three Flood Dragon Kings had already dismounted. Hearing Xu Haiqing's words, they came up to greet him. The Southern Sea Flood Dragon King Xu Haiqing introduced them one by one: Wei River Gang Leader Zhou Yong, Xiang River Gang Leader Wang Fengyue, Jing River Gang Leader Qi Fenxin, Han River Gang Leader Qu Chang, Huai River Gang Leader Li Fengming, Binshui Gang Leader An Xun, and Bian River Gang Leader Ma Yiming.
Qin Shiyue also returned their greetings respectfully one by one. He knew that these leaders' martial arts might not be as high as his, but each of them was a leader of a gang, an overlord of a sect. They were all famous people in Jianghu. The one they respected was not him, but the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion behind him. If he did not show a little demeanor, he would be ridiculed for no reason.
After this round of greetings, it took quite some time. Ying Fei also came up from the back and bowed, "Ying Fei greets the various Flood Dragon Kings. I often come here to nag you, so there's no need to be so polite."
The Northern Sea Flood Dragon King patted Ying Fei with his fat hand and said with a smile, "Kid, you weren't honest last time when we were drinking. You actually cheated. I won't forgive you today."
Ying Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Sui Jiao King, please forgive me. My alcohol tolerance is limited. Even if you often lose, I'll still drink with you. However, you should look for other lords."
Everyone laughed. Although Sui Jiao Wang's gambling skills were terrible, his alcohol tolerance was also very high. The two Jiao Kings and the Seven Waters Gang Leader had all suffered at his hands before. Now that they heard Ying Fei mention it, they all felt a little sad.
Zhang Xiaohua naturally didn't need to be polite. She was obviously a servant.
Therefore, the Flood Dragon Kings of the Three Seas and the Seven Water Gang Leader clustered around Qin Shiyue and entered Jingyue City first. Xu Jiaotong, Ying Fei, and the others followed behind. Strangely, Ying Fei also let Zhang Xiaohua follow by his side. This made Xu Jiaotong somewhat puzzled. Was this servant supposed to follow along?
When everyone entered the city gate and was about to move forward, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. Although the gate of Jingyue City was wide, Qin Shiyue and the others weren't people who walked by the side.
When Zhang Xiaohua looked back, she saw a group of soldiers in iron armor. They were riding valiant black horses and were rushing towards the city gate.
The one in the lead was a fierce man with an ugly face. He had a tiger's mouth and a lion's nose. His face was full of needle-like beard. He held a Sky Piercer in his hand. As he ran, he shouted, "Make way, make way, quickly make way for this lord!"
The voice and the sound of horse hooves gradually approached. It seemed that they had already arrived at the city gate. The fierce man saw that the group of people in front of him were still walking slowly beside the city gate. He didn't rush to dodge and shouted loudly, "This is an urgent military situation. Unrelated people, make way for this laozi."
Hearing that it was an 'urgent military situation', everyone turned around. Just as they were about to make way, the fierce man saw a face in the crowd. His face lit up and he shouted loudly, "Jiaotong, you finally came to Jingyue City again. Have you thought about the matter I told you last time?"
After he finished speaking, he tightened the reins. The black horse instantly stopped in front of Zhang Xiaohua and the others.
Xu Jiaotong looked at the ugly man who had dismounted from his horse and the soldiers who had arrived and lined up behind him. She suppressed her anger and smiled apologetically, "Commander Murong, where did you come from?
What urgent military situation do you have? "
The ugly man, Commander Murong, grinned and said, "Where did this military situation come from? This laozi just thought that there were too many people in the underworld, so I casually fooled them."
Xu Jiaotong said, "Commander Murong, aren't you afraid of the crime of false military situation?"
"Who dares?
Give them some guts. See if they dare to talk bad about me!
To tell you the truth, the garrison of Jingyue City is my seventh uncle's husband. This is my secret. I don't tell ordinary people. Even if you hear it, you have to keep it for me. We have to keep a low profile and do things in a low-profile manner. "
Zhang Xiaohua almost laughed out loud. This guy's voice was so loud that not only did the people of the Three Seas and Seven Waters hear it, but even the unrelated people at the side also showed fear in their eyes and stayed far away. This was still a secret!
Presumably, this guy had said this many times and the entire Jingyue City knew about it.
Xu Jiaotong frowned slightly and said, "Commander Murong, since you want to keep a low profile, then don't enter the city with such fanfare. Getting off the horse and walking in is the way to keep a low profile."
"Oh?
Jiaotong is right. Boy, quickly get off the horse. Let's walk in. "
After Commander Murong finished speaking, the soldiers all jumped off their horses. Commander Murong was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Let's go. Let's keep a low profile and enter the city."
After he finished speaking, he was about to lead the black horse into the city. But after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Aiyo, Jiaotong, I forgot in a blink of an eye. You haven't been to Jingyue City for several months. Last time I told you about the matter, did our father-in-law agree?" At the end, there was a bashful look on his face.
Zhang Xiaohua really couldn't bear it. She held her stomach and squatted down. This guy, this guy was really too … disgusting.
Ying Fei saw Zhang Xiaohua squatting down. He quickly took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "Ren Xiaoyao, what are you doing?"
Zhang Xiaohua secretly pointed at the ugly guy and said, "Old Ying, can you bear it?"
Ying Fei also said with a smile, "It's their business if they can't bear it. You just don't try to be clever."
Xu Jiaotong forced a smile and said, "Commander Lu, Murong hasn't seen my father yet. After a while, when the gang's affairs are a little more relaxed, I will ask my father.
You should go first. There are many affairs in the barracks, so don't delay. "
"Okay, Jiaotong, don't worry. I will definitely put my career first and family second. I will let you have a solid backer!"
After he finished speaking, Commander Murong entered Jingyue City in high spirits.
