The ancient martial arts master traveled through time
Chapter 146: Captives [3]
In the city, the citizens were already in a state of panic due to the approach of the Purple Dan army that morning. Just as they were living in daily fear, they heard that reinforcements had arrived from the capital, proving they could successfully resolve the crisis. However, they saw no sign of the rescue troops entering the city, and were unconvinced. Consequently, the citizens worried that the Purple Dan army would breach the city gates, leaving them to suffer the consequences of the war.
But after the first fight in the morning, Qionghai City won, and the people were relieved after several days of worries.
The streets are now deserted. Some people have returned to their normal lives and set up stalls at night. There is no other way. After several days of fear and no income, life is already very difficult, but they still have to survive.
They believed that the city lord and the reinforcements from the capital would resolve the war, and life had to go on. Even if Qionghai was conquered, they were still one of the people, so even under tremendous pressure, they still tried their best to earn more money to maintain their lives.
Because of his small victory, the city lord was very polite to Ruan Xiaojiu and prepared a dinner to entertain Ruan Xiaojiu and Di Jingchen at night.
Prominent figures in the city also came to pay their respects, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to meet the legendary Ninth Prince.
The city lord has a son and a daughter, Liu Qingqing and Liu Qingyun.
Before the banquet, the city lord forbade his sons and daughters to come. The reason was simple: he had spoiled them and he was afraid they would do something out of line and cause trouble.
Who would have thought that the city lord's daughter Liu Qingqing had met Di Jingchen by chance, and fell in love with him at first sight. Ignoring the city lord's warning, she came to the banquet and found Di Jingchen in the crowd at a glance. She came to Di Jing shyly.
"My humble daughter greets you, sir. I am the city lord's daughter, and my name is Liu Qingqing. May I ask what your name is, sir?"
Liu Qingqing's yard was only separated from the guest house by a wall. She was attracted by him at a glance. She felt that this young man had extraordinary temperament, beautiful appearance, and sharp features that met her aesthetic standards. Her heart beat wildly at first sight, and her heart told her that she wanted to get him.
She had been spoiled since she was a child. Because she had no mother, the city lord was particularly indulgent to her brother and sister, so she developed an arrogant temperament.
Di Jingchen, on the other hand, maintained a cold expression, as if isolated from the world. He showed no interest in anything here. He only accepted the invitation after the city lord repeatedly invited him, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Hearing Liu Qingqing's question, Di Jingchen frowned, did not look up, and did not want to pay attention.
Ruan Xiaojiu watched the woman come here to chat leisurely. She played with the wine glass in her hand, smiling, wanting to see what Di Jingchen would do next.
In order to show her gentleness, Liu Qingqing's eyes were drawn and her voice was soft. Seeing that Di Jingchen didn't respond, she thought he didn't hear her, so she raised her voice a little, "Sir, are you used to living here? I am the city lord's daughter Liu Qingqing. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I am happy to help you. What is your name, sir?"
Di Jingchen's face was gloomy and a little impatient, but he still endured it and did not lose his temper.
Seeing Di Jingchen's attitude, Liu Qingqing finally understood. She had a sour face since she was a child, and she could feel it when others gave her a little disrespect. It turned out that this young man did not hear her, but did not want to pay attention to her. She immediately felt insulted and despised.
"Sir, if you don't want to talk to me, you can refuse. It seems impolite to keep silent." When facing the person she likes, she still has more patience. Although there is some blame, she still does not show any anger on her face in order to leave a good impression.
But I was thinking, if you don’t want to talk, just say it. What’s the point of pretending to be deaf?
Di Jingchen didn't like women getting close to him. Being able to endure for a while was already his limit. If a woman got close to him, he would feel like he had fleas all over his body. He felt very uncomfortable and uttered a word in impatience.
"roll."
"What did you say?"
Liu Qingqing couldn't believe her ears. Did she hear it wrong? What did this person say? How dare he tell her to get out? Suddenly, she felt a little angry.
"Who do you think you are? You just came to our city to help repel the enemy. What's so great about that?" Liu Qingqing's eyes were wide open with anger. Who would dare to talk to her like this?
Di Jingchen stood up and looked at Liu Qingqing coldly. He turned and left the banquet. He didn't like the way the woman looked at him. She was just making small talk, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Liu Qingqing stomped her feet in anger. She had never suffered such injustice since she was a child. "Stop right there! Who allowed you to leave before you finished talking?" After she finished speaking, she followed him out.
Ruan Xiaojiu looked at this scene with a slight smile on her lips. She picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and thought to herself: This is going to be a good show.
She knew the city lord's daughter had no chance, so she wasn't worried. She just thought it was quite interesting. She turned to look at the city lord, who was sitting with a few people, discussing something. He put down his wine glass, stood up, and left the banquet, preparing to go out for some fresh air.
