Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1359: Chapter 40: Cai Qiu Sword Saint, A Confused Naturalization, Miss Mengya 3

Of course, it’s not just them, everyone around the South Gate is the same.

From their perspective, the two collided three or four times before stopping, then engaged in conversation in the air for a while. Cai Yunzhou extended his hand to Xia Hong, seemingly issuing an invitation, and the two flew into the city together.

“Will the Lord be alright?”

“I don’t know, it’s hard to tell who won.”

Hearing Su Jing’s words, Su Xu and Su Zhi also looked tense.

“That’s the City Lord of Qinghua City, Lord Landgrave’s direct grandson! Even losing is normal, the Lord looks much younger than him.”

Su Xing’er sensed the unsaid meaning in her brothers’ words. Although she also thought Xia Hong couldn’t win, she still defended him softly.

“Alright, let’s continue queuing to enter the city, don’t linger at the gate!”

But soon, Fang Tianhua, who had just knelt and begged Xia Hong for mercy, seemed to have received some orders. He instructed everyone at the city gate to continue queuing to enter.

Then he turned towards the four Su Jing siblings, jogged over, and with a fawning smile and clasped hands, said: “Four young sirs, the City Lord has already arranged accommodations for you, follow me quickly into the city!”

That’s no exaggeration.

Fang Tianhua, who was so arrogant just moments ago, now displayed nothing but a fawning expression, even slightly bending his body, his face looked a bit anxious.

The Su Jing siblings were dumbfounded; they were natives of Evergreen Valley and well-acquainted with the customs of the County Guard Army. Even when living in Qingtan Village, whenever an ordinary County Guard soldier visited, the leader had to serve them food and drink, accommodating them completely without any defiance.

This Fang Tianhua was not just any ordinary soldier; not mentioning the Ten Thousand Forged Silver Armor he wore, just his command over hundreds of soldiers at the South Gate showed his status.

A person like him, showing them flattery?

“It’s the Lord’s displayed power that makes them act this way!”

The Su Jing siblings were not foolish, they immediately understood the reason.

But as they entered the city with Fang Tianhua, they gradually realized they were too naive; Xia Hong’s display of power at the South Gate provided them with benefits far beyond this…

“Husband, did we offend someone?”

While Su Jing and siblings were entering the city with Fang Tianhua, Hu Tiejiang and his brother, waiting in line at the gate, looked thoroughly scared.

Upon hearing his wife Fang Jing’s slightly anxious words, Hu Tiejiang immediately comforted her softly: “Don’t worry, the Lord might not know, and even if he does, he won’t blame us…”

Saying this, he turned to exchange glances with his brother Hu Tiechuan, and both saw a hint of bitterness and regret in each other’s eyes.

Xia Hong was a powerful figure; they had already noticed this at the Yakou Village inn last night. But being powerful enough to spar with the Qinghua City Lord, this far exceeded their expectations.

If they had known this earlier, they would have found a way to converse with Xia Hong, establishing some rapport.

For such a mighty person, even becoming his slave would be considered altering destiny. Yet, after traveling together with Xia Hong all night, the two brothers foolishly did nothing.

Now regret is too late.

“Don’t overthink, quickly enter the city, we need to sort out our registration first!”

Hu Tiejiang suppressed chaotic thoughts while holding the registration book in his arms, focusing on queuing with his family to enter the city.

……

Compared to the anxious Hu Family, since following Fang Tianhua into the city, the Su Jing siblings appeared dazed.

Once inside the city gate, four rickshaw arrived immediately. Without allowing any refusal, Fang Tianhua placed them into the rickshaws, then arranged porters to pull them inside.

Under the illumination of firelight, the street was as bright as day; shops lined with dazzling goods along the street, densely packed pedestrians on both sides, and the city’s warm temperature… For the Su Jing siblings who were entering the city for the first time, seeing this scene through the rickshaw window left them stunned.

“Is this the place where our parents were determined to bring us?”

Qinghua City is where the more than 100,000 people of Evergreen Valley dream to live. Some sold their freedom and entered slave status to be servants, while others joined lowly status just for working opportunities; truly entering as a citizen and living here as a normal person, composed less than ten thousand people in total.

The streets were crowded, and the rickshaw couldn’t speed up. It took half an hour before the rickshaw stopped in front of a mansion’s gate near City Lord’s Hall in the city center.

“Four young sirs, we have arrived. This is the mansion prepared by the City Lord for the Lord and yourselves. The steward and servants are waiting at the door. I shall take my leave now; should you have any issue, feel free to find me at the gate.”

Fang Tianhua’s voice was still deeply ingratiating, as he spoke when the Su Jing siblings disembarked from the rickshaw, even adding another flattering remark.

The Su Jing siblings blankly watched Fang Tianhua depart, then turned towards the mansion’s gate, their expression froze instantly.

[Hong Mansion]

From the battle at the city gate until now, at most only an hour had passed.

They even prepared a mansion plaque!

Besides the mansion plaque, at the gate stood over two hundred people of varying gender, led by a man in his fifties, dressed in yellow clothes, and wearing a black felt hat.
