At night, the lights come on, and the streets gradually become lively. After a while, there was a feeling of crowding.

Ling Jin and the three of them walked down the street slowly, slowly moving in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Ling Jin rarely saw such a scene, so he was full of curiosity about everything, cute dolls, interesting sugar paintings, and joyful shadow puppetry, all of which he was interested in.

Shen Ruoruo and Liu Fatzi did not dislike him, but slowly explained to him what Ling Jin was interested in.

The friendship between the young people is actually very fast, especially since the three of them are not deeply involved in the world.

One has been studying art in the mountains for ten years, the other has been cared for since he was a child, and the other yearns for chivalry, forming gangs and gangs, and wandering the streets. It can be said that they are all still young and have not been deeply involved in the world. Their world is far less complicated than that of adults.

Before they knew it, they had already walked to the city lord's mansion, and before a few of them approached, the person guarding the door shouted: "The eldest lady is back, you don't need to look for it!"

He shouted this sentence loudly several times in a row, and soon after, the entire City Lord's Mansion was boiling.

The daughter of the city lord was gone, and the city lord was furious and ordered the whole city to search for it, and those who found it were rewarded. I didn't expect the eldest lady to come back by herself now, no, to be precise, she brought two boys back.

When they reached the gate of the city, a man barricaded them down, and this man was the soldier who had just shouted. At a glance, that person has dark skin, but his arms bulge amazingly, and at a glance, he knows that he is a practitioner, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"Miss, distinguished guests, please go to the Shen Mansion with the little one now, the city lord is waiting for you there. ”

"Okay, I know, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Da. ”

Shen Ruoruo said. Xu Da, a close confidant of the Shen City Lord, has been guarding the city gate for nearly ten years or so. So Shen Ruoruo knew him, after all, she had to say hello to Xu Da every time she came out to play.

Xu Da led the way in front, and the three of them followed. The distance between the City Lord's Mansion and the Shen Mansion was not too far, and it would take a while to arrive.

All the way unimpeded, the three of them came to the hall of the Shen Mansion. In front of them, there was a middle-aged man sitting there, his eyes looking in the direction of the door from time to time, quite a bit of anticipation.

Needless to say, I also know that this person is the city lord of Meicheng, but he is not dressed like a city lord should be. Dressed in white and in a long coat, his long hair was casually draped behind his head, like a kind middle-aged man, who would have thought that he was the lord of a city when they saw him for the first time.

When he saw his daughter appear in front of him, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his daughter's running away from home was still a very big blow to him. Nothing mattered now, though, and his daughter had returned to him.

Shen Ruoruo stepped forward, at a loss, she saw her father's worried appearance for her, and the resentment in her heart had long since disappeared. It's just that she doesn't know what to say to her father.

Just as she was about to apologize, her father took her into his arms and used more force than ever.

"Ruoruo, where have you been? It's because it's not right for my father, I didn't ask for your opinion, I will cancel this matter immediately, I understand now, you are the most important thing. City Lord Shen said with tears in his eyes. Experiencing the pain of losing his daughter, he didn't want to experience it again, and the feelings he naturally revealed moved people.

However, Ling Jin and Liu Fatzi felt envious, both of them were orphans, Liu Fatzi's parents left him because of the war, and he wandered to Meicheng alone, and Ling Jin, he didn't know who his parents were and where they were. Therefore, both of them are very eager for family affection.

Listening to what her father said, Shen Ruoruo's heart felt a little more guilty. She was very glad to have come back with Ling Jin and Liu Fatzi.

"Dad, you have already said it in public, how can you not believe it, besides, you are still the lord of a city, and it is detrimental to your majesty to do this......"

Before Shen Ruoruo could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her father:

"How can you do these things, it's a big deal that I won't do this position of city lord. Listening to his tone, without any pretense, this seemed to be a decision he had made before.

Hearing his words, Shen Ruoruo rubbed her face into her father's arms: "I'm sorry, Dad, I shouldn't be so willful and make you worried." ”

"It's okay, it's okay to come back, it's okay if you're okay. City Lord Shen patted his daughter on the back and said softly.

"It's okay, Dad, let's hold the tournament as usual."

"Didn't you say you didn't like that Zhao Feng? Why did you agree again? Don't you know that he has a very high chance of getting the top spot?" City Lord Shen felt incredulous, since his daughter didn't mind running away from home, how could he turn around and agree.

Shen Ruoruo left his father's embrace, pointed at Liu Fat Man and Ling Jin outside the door with his slender fingers, and said to Shen City Lord, "These two people are my new friends, they can help us." ”

Hearing what his daughter said, he realized that there were two people standing outside the door.

"Hmm, that fat man can be ignored, I'm talking about the one next to him, he is very powerful, he has practiced martial arts for many years, he wants to challenge Zhao Feng, as long as he wins, this matter will be solved. ”

City Lord Shen looked at Ling Jin carefully, his eyes were full of doubts and puzzles, this young man with beautiful eyebrows looked like a handsome boy, an elegant scholar, where did he look like a person who practiced martial arts.

Ling Jin seemed to see the doubts in the heart of the city lord Shen, and arched his hand and said, "If the city lord doesn't believe it, you can find someone to try it with me." ”

Looking at Ling Jin's confident appearance, City Lord Shen felt that he was either young and frivolous, or he had enough strength.

Looking at Ling Jin, City Lord Shen shook his head and said briskly

"No need. Since you are the one who is chosen, there must be something extraordinary. ”

Turning his head, he looked at Xu Da

"Xu Da, you go down to rest with these two little guests first. In addition, prepare a dinner party, and tonight will have a big feast, and the whole house will rest!"

"Yes, you two, please come with me, the guest room is over there, rest first, and then invite you two when we are ready for dinner?"

"It's okay, Brother Xu, you go and do your business, don't care about us. ”

Ling Jin and Liu Fatzi followed Xu Da out, and Lord Shen patted his daughter's head

"Ruoruo, you should also go back to your room to rest for a while, and I will supervise the holding of the banquet. You'd better go and see your mother first, she's dying. ”

Shen Ruoruo stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and trotted out, she knew that her mother must be in a hurry too.

After a while, Xu Da returned to the hall.

"City Lord, why do you believe that kid? Seeing that he is not a person who practices martial arts, in case he has a malicious heart towards the eldest lady, we can't help but guard against it!"
