below the lord

Chapter 26 City Seal

"City Lord Nian is back, City Lord Nian is back." Following the attendant's shout, everyone present was relieved.

Early in the morning, I heard that Jiangcheng lord Lu Li held Nian Xia hostage at night, and the whole Qi manor panicked. Naturally, the marriage of Qicheng lord could not be married. I heard that Qicheng lord had sent Nian's guards to chase after him, and there was no news for several hours. I also saw thick smoke billowing from the mountains in the east. When I was worrying about tenting, the people came back, but it was not Nian Junwei who brought back the city lord Nian.

Nian Xia borrowed the yellow guard's cloak to cover his messy appearance, and got off the horse with a tired face. Seeing the doubtful eyes of Han City Lord Yin Shi who greeted him, he explained: "This is my yellow guard."

Xiao Huang Huang also made a decent salute in a timely manner, which made everyone feel relieved.

Qi Yu seems to be very calm at this time, but he is the one who is most uneasy in his heart.Knowing that he would have to meet Huang Shiwei sooner or later, Qi Yu was very confused, but on the surface he still looked calm and relaxed.Affection is a very mysterious thing, and if you can avoid it for a while, you can't avoid it for a lifetime, not to mention, this worried person was forced by Qi Yu himself, and he wanted to welcome and refused, and he couldn't stop.

A few days ago when Nian Xia came to Qi Mansion, Nian Xia didn't bring the Huang guard with him, which was beyond Qi Yu's expectation.This proud and arrogant city lord is very stubborn, and he will never lower his identity and say it clearly.What is happening now is a miasma of chaos, I only know that the mortal man has finally come, and there is something fresh about the noise, Qi Yu doesn't know what's wrong with him, but he is just angry and unwilling , thinking that he, Qiyu, would play a few tricks casually, and if there was anything he couldn't get, such a little guard was quite airy. From childhood to adulthood, not only had he never paid attention to Qiyu, if he didn't make trouble, It's something that can't force him to show up.Now that he saw the guard Huang following him, Qi Yu, who always took the lead, felt as if his mouth had been slit, and he couldn't even make a sound.

"Why don't you see City Lord Lu and Nian Junwei?" City Lord Han asked.

Nian Xia moved his lower lips without answering, lowered his gaze, and only glanced at Qi Yu who was sitting silently on the hall, then ignored the suspicious others and went straight to his cell.

"City Lord Nian ran around all night, disturbed everyone and didn't sleep well, why don't we talk about it after a short rest, Nian's army guard is behind, and he will probably be back soon." Answer for his master.

Seeing that Huang Shiwei's words and deeds are stable, everyone present is quite trusting, and the old housekeeper of the Qi Mansion happened to pass by and glanced at him.That's why he was able to recognize Huang Shiwei.

"Little Huang Huang, I haven't seen you for several years. You have grown up so much." The old housekeeper was very happy to see Huang Shiwei. He saw the young city lords making troubles since he was a child, and the old housekeeper felt sorry for Huang Shiwei. Sensible, steady, polite, and the most important thing is to be able to control the little master Qiyu, saving them a lot of trouble, seeing each other now makes the old housekeeper feel at ease.

Huang Shiwei still had a decent and calm appearance while chatting with the old housekeeper about the old life, and at the same time went back to the prison cell with Nianxia.

After a whole night of sleepless nights, Nian Xia ordered Huang Shiwei to fetch water to wash and change into clean clothes as soon as he returned to his room.

With a cluck, something fell from the sleeve pocket of the clothes.

Seeing this, Huang Shiwei quickly picked it up and handed it to Nian Xia.

Looking at the word "Jiang" engraved on the seal, Nian Xia was startled. Could this be the city seal of Jiangcheng passed down from generation to generation.

Touching the texture, it was extremely hard, and holding it in his hand was cool and cool, Nian Xia tore off a city seal from his left ankle that was exactly the same as in front of him, but it had lost the cool breath, and it was engraved with Qi.Comparing the two city seals, Nian Xia was even more convinced of his guess that this was really the city seal of Jiangcheng.

The five cities each have their own city seals, which have been handed down from generation to generation by the five city lords. Since the city was founded, the city seals have been made of unique strange stones. Although the strange stones are small, they are bigger than an adult's thumb, but they are extremely hard. , Translucent and cool, there are only five yuan in the world, and the names of five cities are engraved respectively.

The city seal is passed on from the previous city lord to the next city lord. This is a token of the city lord and must never be handed over to others.This is also the reason why Nian Xia had to be imprisoned in Qiyu Mansion after she gave up her status as city lord.The identity can be discarded, but the city seal can only be passed down from generation to generation, and can never be discarded.

Recalling the moment when he and Lu Li were struggling in the thatched shed, it must have been when Lu Li secretly stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.Unexpectedly, Lu Li had such a plan, Nian Xia's hand holding the city seal of Jiangcheng couldn't help but tremble.

Lu Li handed over the city seal of Jiangcheng to himself, and Nian Xia never thought that he would become the lord of Jiangcheng without any reason.Then in whose hands should the other seal of Qicheng, which has lost its breath for him, be handed over to?

Worldly affairs often tease mortals, some things are the more you want to escape, but you can't escape anyway, and they appear in front of you again after turning around. Twenty years ago, Old City Lord Qi chose Nian Xia, who was still a child, to succeed him as City Lord, and now he is destined to become an inescapable entanglement among the five cities.
