Chapter Ninety-One: Celebration, Shen Ming's Confusion!
Today's Canglong City is extraordinarily lively,
On both sides of the street, crowds stood here and welcomed them, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
They were dressed in cloth clothes, and some of them carried a basket with some simple food in their hands.
Some people held flowers in their hands and looked up at the returning soldiers.
"I'll wait, defeat the beast tide."
General Long walked at the forefront, his sword unsheathed at his waist, and he raised his sword and shouted!
"For this reason, Canglong City will hold a ceremony tomorrow to celebrate the city!"
"Oh!!!!!!"
People raised their arms and cheered.
Looking at these people with different expressions, Shen Ming's face did not show even half a smile.
"What's the matter, Brother Shen."
General Ding rode his horse close to Shen Ming with a smile on his face.
"Seeing that Brother Shen looks preoccupied, could it be that he is worried about the city lord?"
At the beginning, Shen Ming was still thinking about how to deal with the next beast tide.
General Long said that the beast tide would not come over in a short time, so Shen Ming could rest assured for the time being.
Although Shen Ming didn't know where the basis of General Long's judgment was, he still believed what General Long said.
After everyone made preparations, they returned to Canglong City.
On the way back, Shen Ming and General Long chatted with General Ding for a while.
General Long's full name is Long Mi, while General Ding's full name is Ding Chen.
Although the two of them are both generals, General Long is also the supreme commander of Canglong City, and his official is one level higher than Ding Chen.
Long Mi is not only Ding Chen's superior, but also Ding Chen's master, and in the army, most of the people who have official positions are trained by Long Mi himself.
Although Ding Chen lost a hand, he didn't see his worry at all.
At first, Shen Ming thought that there was a place to repair broken limbs.
But when Long Mi said that General Ding would take a back seat from now on, Shen Ming realized.
Ding Chen's hand, I'm afraid it won't be connected.
However, Ding Chen didn't seem to care, and he didn't care much about this matter.
even argued with Long Mi for a while, not wanting to take a back seat.
Facing Ding Chen's inquiry, Shen Ming just sighed.
"There are parts."
In fact, Shen Ming was still a little confused at most.
Long Mi explained to them that after this battle, Canglong City would hold a one-day celebration.
Shen Ming has always been a little puzzled.
The crisis of the beast tide threatens Canglong City all the time.
And in the distance, the city lord still doesn't know where to go, and even life and death are uncertain.
Why did Long Mi have a celebration at this time?
Shen Ming even suspected that he had seen the wrong person for a while, thinking that Long Mi was just a waste wood general who was very happy.
After that, Shen Ming lost interest in communicating with Long Mi.
But when I really returned to Canglong City, I was faced with people who welcomed me in the middle of the road.
Looking at the smiles on their faces, the doubts in Shen Ming's heart seemed to be solved a little.
-------------------------------------
The next day.
Sure enough, as Long Mi said, Canglong City is holding a city-wide celebration.
On the eaves of every house, festive red is hung.
In the middle of the lively square, a huge bonfire was erected.
There were many people around the campfire, singing and dancing to their heart's content.
There are also several stalls cooking delicious food next to it.
Next to these stalls, there is a corpse of a fierce beast.
On the stall, there is a smell of meat, which makes people can't help but eat it.
Long Mi took a large glass of wine and sat next to Shen Ming.
"Your attitude towards me seems to have changed since yesterday's parting."
"Yes?" Shen Ming smiled reluctantly, "I might just not like these bustles very much. โ
"Hahaha, you can't fool me, a bad old man." Long Mi smiled heartily, and then drank the wine in the cup.
"I've lived for more than 50 years, and I'm still very accurate in looking at people."
Long Mi continued to talk to himself, and then he was fascinated by the dancing girls.
And Shen Ming didn't answer, just sat silently on the side.
"Are you satisfied with the arrangement you gave you yesterday?"
Shen Mingmu didn't squint, "Do you mean that mansion, or those maids?" โ
"If that's what I mean, I'll dismiss all the maids."
He spoke, his face calm.
As for the mansion, Shen Ming still needed a place to live after all, so he simply stayed.
"Hahaha, Brother Shen really doesn't like to be noisy." Long Mi smiled, "Actually, that mansion is so big, if you come to live alone and no one comes to clean it, it will soon fall into ruin." โ
"You don't want to talk to me."
Long Mi didn't use a question sentence, but said in a very affirmative tone.
Shen Ming didn't speak, which meant that he didn't deny it.
"Do you think that Canglong City is in danger now, and it will be besieged by the beast tide all the time, or there is no news from the city lord's side, and it may be waiting for us to rescue it?"
Shen Ming remained silent.
"Look, this Canglong City."
Not caring about Shen Ming's attitude, Long Mi continued.
"It's big, he's not big, it's small...... It's not small, indeed. โ
"This wave of beast tide has caused me to lose more than 4,000 troops in Canglong City, and all the scout eyelines in the field are disabled."
"Is it a big loss?"
"The losses are huge." General Long said calmly, "My Canglong City only has a few tens of thousands of troops, and this time, I have lost nearly ten percent. โ
The first front was all killed, and the second front, as well as Ding Chen's reinforcements who were about to arrive, also lost more than 1,000 people.
Even Ding Chen, one of the three major generals of Canglong City, lost his combat effectiveness.
At first glance, it is true that the loss is not small.
"But I still have to hold a celebration, although you have doubts in your heart, and even dissatisfaction, but because you are an outsider, it is difficult to speak, right?"
Shen Ming's face finally fluctuated.
He had to admit that Long Mi was right.
"Look at this celebration, what do you see?"
Shen Ming saw a lot.
Most of the people at the festival were smiling and celebrating as if they didn't have any worries.
Young girls and boys confess to each other, and some of the soldiers are scrambling by the residents to give giftsโeven simple food.
"In the first battle, there were heavy losses, and even one general was deposed."
Long Mi's voice sounded beside Shen Ming.
"City Lord, there is no news at this time."
"But we still repelled the first wave of beasts."
"If you don't celebrate, when will you stay?"
At this moment, Shen Ming was suddenly moved!
Shen Ming suddenly felt that this was a group of living, flesh-and-blood people!
They will be happy, they will be grateful, they will be hurt, they will die!
This is not something that the so-called "NPCs" can do at all!
Over here...... Is it still not a supergod space?
Or is it not the game world?
