Cthulhu descends

Chrysanthemum City.

Li Xie went to sea for nearly a month, and then returned to Chrysanthemum City slowly with the Shenwei mercenary group, which took more than two months.

Riding horses with the Shenwei mercenary group, looking at the familiar city a few miles away, Li Xie noticed a huge change along the way.

On the official road of Chrysanthemum City, there is actually a caravan.

Not to mention the caravans on the official roads, there were not many merchants in Chrysanthemum City. It seems that Chrysanthemum City has changed a lot in the past two months.

"That's my city." Li Xie pointed to the Chrysanthemum City Road.

Getting along these days, Li Xie and the Shenwei mercenary group have become acquainted, and they have become friends with each other. Lala has also lost the grudge that Li Xie concealed his strength before. Knock Li Xie on the head.

"It's such a small city?" Lala looked at the gate of Chrysanthemum City in surprise.

In general, the cities of imperial dynasties, the larger the city area, the more gates.The city with two gates is the smallest, followed by the city with four gates, the city with eight gates, and the city with ten gates.

But looking at the city gates, one can know the number of gates in the city. Among them, there are four gates in the city. The four gates are facing the east, west, north, south, and four directions. Therefore, Lala can tell that the Chrysanthemum City is just four cities when he sees the south gate of the Chrysanthemum City facing the south. The small city of the gate.

In Lala's eyes, although Li Xie's strength is unknown, it must be above the tenth rank, and he is also a duke. In a mere dynasty, at least he must have a big city with eight gates. Who knows, Li Xie only has It's just a small city with four gates.

Li Xie laughed and said, "Although chrysanthemums are small now, they will become sunflowers sooner or later. Haha, let's go! Come into my chrysanthemum city and have a look!"

Several people walked to the city gate, the guards at the gate and the guards on the city wall stood up and saluted Li Xie, and then performed their duties. Although they didn't make a sound, their respect and military discipline could be seen.

After entering the city gate, a few people walked on the street. It can be seen that there are many more shops on both sides, and there are quite a lot of people coming and going. Although they are not nobles with luxurious clothes, the civilians are well-dressed. The wealth of Chrysanthemum City has been gradually revealed.

"It's the evil city lord!"

"Ah! What a city lord!"

"Hey! Everyone, the evil city master! A real person!"

"Master Mian! That's our city lord!"

Although Li Xie's bronze statues can be seen everywhere in Chrysanthemum City, he is the official who shows the least face in Chrysanthemum City. However, it seems that the common people should not be so excited when they see Li Xie, the city lord.

More than that!

What surprised Li Xie even more was that the common people on the street spread word of mouth, and then they all looked at Li Xie, stood on the left and right sides of the street, and then all knelt down. What they were doing, they all went to both sides of the street and knelt down to the ground collectively.

"Master Mian! Praise you, my respected evil city master, may the divine light shine on you forever!"

Not only kneeling down, but whenever Li Xie passed by the civilians, the civilians would send the most sincere blessings. From the way they looked at Li Xie, one could feel this sincerity, that kind of respect and praise from the bottom of their hearts!

Such a scene was unexpected by Li Xie, but it made him stunned for a while, completely confused, what happened in Chrysanthemum City?So humble and respectful?

Seeing this scene, the members of the Shenwei Mercenary Corps were all surprised on their faces, and the way they looked at Li Xie completely changed, showing more respect.

They traveled everywhere and met nobles and city lords, but they had never heard of a city lord who could make commoners bow down and praise him so sincerely.

From the eyes of the civilians, the expressions on their faces, the Shenwei mercenary group can see that it is a kind of almost fanatical support.This kind of support does not appear under tyranny, nor can it be owned by being close to the people. It is necessary to save the people from suffering, lead them to peace and prosperity, and selflessly contribute everything to the people to have such support!

Lala looked at the civilians on the left and right, and sighed: "I have never seen a city lord who can be loved so much by his people. This kind of sincere love is only worthy of a city lord who treats them sincerely. I never thought you would be like this." A good person, not the kind of aristocrat who only knows how to spend money and wine, relying on family background."

"Hahaha, everyone, get up, get up! Master Mian, I also praise you, my people!"

Li Xie is proud!Never been so proud!

Just being bowed down by the common people is insignificant to Li Xie's current status, but Lala's praise makes Li Xie extremely proud!

These are his people, love his people so much!

"Brother evil!"

From a distance, Xiao An shouted, and then ran over on a black-scaled horse, swinging the rein.

When Li Xie met Xiao An, he knew that Xiao An must have come to pick him up specially, because the Chrysanthemum City had already installed spies two hundred miles away, and as long as Li Xie, the city owner, stepped within two hundred miles of the Chrysanthemum City area, Jack would know, Xiao An must have known about it, otherwise, Xiao An would not have come just after Li Xie entered the city.

"Brother Xie, you're back, was the journey hard?" Xiao An's face was filled with the joy of reuniting the little lover after a long absence.

Although I rejected Li Xie's "confession" last time, everyone is like this, and they will subconsciously regard those who like them as their own. Xie's feelings are gradually growing, coupled with the precipitation of time, Xiaoan has gradually let go of her heart, and really regards Li Xie as her little lover.

After all, Li Xie had "confessed" to her.

However, the joy on Xiao An's face froze instantly, because she saw Lala next to Li Xie, this pretty and wild beauty!Regardless of the relationship between this beautiful woman and Li Xie, any woman who sees a beautiful woman next to a man she likes will inevitably show hostility and vigilance as long as she cares about this man.

"Yo, just after we entered the city, my Xiaoan came to welcome us. It's an honor. Would you like to give me a warm hug like last time? This time I will be at a disadvantage. You are allowed to kiss the little mouth!" Li Xie teased with trembling eyebrows , but didn't notice that there was a little more vigilance in Xiaoan's eyes.

"Hmph! Who's coming to welcome you? I just happened to pass by!" Xiao An's eyes fell on Lala, and she directly ignored the other members of the Shenwei Mercenary Group: "Who is she?"

"Let me introduce. This is Xiaoan." Li Xie said with a smile: "This is Lala, this is Saber, this is Oster, this is Kidd, they are members of the Shenwei Mercenary Group , I met on the road, and we come back to play in Chrysanthemum City. You are half the master, so you have to help me treat them well."

half master?

Brother Xie is the master of Chrysanthemum City, and I am half the master?

Xiao An's face flushed immediately.

Does this mean that he is saying that I am his woman?

Xiaoan's thought made her little heart thump and thump, and her mind was a little confused.

Master Mian is here, but Li Xie's words don't mean what Xiao An thinks at all, this is of course another misunderstanding.

From Li Xie's point of view, Xiao An possessed his seal of the city lord and was in charge of all his officials, so he was no different from acting as the city lord, so he was naturally half the master of Chrysanthemum City.

It's a pity that this half master really makes people fantasize, especially for those who have a heart.

If Li Xie knew that his unintentional words were constantly capturing Xiao'an's heart, I don't know if he would have smiled crookedly!

"What's the matter?" Li Xie noticed that Xiao An's face was blushing, and his eyes were flickering, and he was a little confused.

"No..." Xiao An suddenly remembered that there was a woman beside Li Xie, and immediately became vigilant again: "What does she have to do with you?"

"Friend, what does it matter?" Li Xie thought, why is Xiao An's tone so weird?

After Xiao An finished asking, she immediately realized how embarrassing her question was, and her pretty face immediately blushed again!

Oops, how can I ask such a question!I'm not someone to him, so I don't care what relationship he has with this woman!What's wrong with me, how upset I am!Shame to death!Why ask such a question!

Xiao An was very shy, seeing the men from the Shenwei Mercenary Corps smiling at her, she felt even more embarrassed, and quickly said: "I still have something to do, that's all, bye!"

After speaking, he immediately turned the horse's head and patted the horse's buttocks and galloped wildly.

Li Xie looked at Xiao An's back, and the corners of his mouth twitched, what the hell is wrong with this girl, she is inexplicably nervous!

Oster clamped the horse's belly, let the mount walk to Li Xie's side, and patted Li Xie's shoulder: "Not bad, such a beautiful chick likes you, it's really enviable!"

"Hey! You can do it!" Li Xie said in surprise: "It's just the first meeting, you can see the way!"

Of course, Li Xie only thinks that Xiao An likes him, since Xiao An couldn't help hugging Li Xie last time, he knew it.Even if he didn't know, there was Jack who kept reminding Li Xie that after all, Jack loved his sister and hoped that her sister would have a good home and get along with Duke Xie. No matter how he looked at it, Jack was very satisfied.

"How can you not see it?" Kidd also rushed forward and said with a smile: "Not only can I see it, but I can also smell a sour smell of vinegar!"

"Ha! She's jealous! Who's jealous?" A woman's nature likes to gossip, Lala immediately became interested, but suddenly realized that she was the only woman among the group of people, and immediately opened her eyes wide: "No? Eat me of vinegar?"

Oster nodded, um, this girl finally didn't realize it once.

"Bah! She's jealous of me? She doesn't even look at it clearly!" Lala pointed at Li Xie with an expression of resentment: "Look at this guy, if he wants to have no appearance, if he wants character, he won't have character. How can this girl have anything to do with a little brat who doesn’t even look like this? God of War! Could it be that I, Stella Yaron Eastover, am blind?”

Uh……

The corner of Li Xie's mouth twitched!

Girl, we know you're talking about the scene, but you also deserve the occasion, especially, don't say it in front of my client!Still pointing!

Lala finally realized that she seemed impolite, and smiled awkwardly: "That... I'm not talking about you."

There was a drop of cold sweat on Li Xie's forehead, and several members of the Shenwei Mercenary Group slapped their foreheads collectively!

Girl, does anyone believe what you say?
