C1234 Young City Lord Li Huating
C1234 Young City Lord Li Huating
The group of refugees was silent for a while, then exploded!
"Pay! The city lord actually paid us!"
"Ten copper coins a day!"
I used to be a blacksmith. I will forge for the City Lord in the future!"
"I am a mason. Can I also get paid? "
"City Lord is merciful!"
Even if I don't pay, I still need to help Lord City Lord! "
"As long as I eat my fill, I have plenty of strength. I will work hard for Lord City Lord!"
...
These refugees had nothing at all. They were waiting for death, and now they saw hope in life.
The huge change in identity made them deeply remember Beiliang City's young city lord, Li Huating.
At this moment, Li Huating was their god, the god they believed in!
Li Huating looked at the agitated refugees below the city wall and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hulk!"
Turning his head to look at the old butler beside him, Li Huating said, "Let them enter the city!"
"But we must first do the registration work!"
The old butler Ah Fu looked at Li Huating with admiration and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, young city lord!"
"Young Master!"
Red Lotus, who was beside him, was so excited that her face turned slightly red. She said, "I know calligraphy. Can you help me register?"
Li Huating looked at the excited Red Lotus and knew that she wanted to help him.
"Alright, go!"
Li Huating raised his hand to rub Red Lotus's head and said softly, "Remember not to be too tired!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Outside the Shenden Tower, Ye Yu and Tianji Zi were looking at the projected image.
On the projection, thousands of refugees were queuing outside of Northern Chill City.
Every one of them was patiently waiting for the registration to be completed. None of them showed impatience on their faces.
At the city gate, a petite figure was sitting behind a table, writing rapidly on the information of the refugees.
Even though her wrist was sore and her forehead was covered in sweat.
The figure was still in high spirits, meticulously registering the refugee information.
Tianji Zi looked at the projected image and stroked his beard with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ye Yu."
"It seems like the reincarnation of the Moon God has fallen in love with you!"
Ye Yu's expression was indifferent as he said softly, "That Li Huating isn't me. He just looks similar to me."
Tianji Zi stroked his beard and smiled. "Really?"
"There is no such coincidence."
The moon god fell in love with someone who looked similar to you in the illusion realm. That means that she still has feelings for you in the modern world! "
Tianji Zi's words caused Ye Yu to fall silent.
Because Ye Yu knew that all of this must have something to do with Han Xue!
It was Han Xue's subconscious mind that made the reincarnation of the Moon God like Li Huating!
In the illusion.
"Red Lotus..."
The old butler, Hulk, walked to Red Lotus's side and said with a worried tone, "You have already been tired for the entire day. You should stop and rest first!"
Red Lotus sat behind the desk and rubbed her sore wrist. Her flushed face turned pale due to overexhaustion.
"Grandpa Hulk, I'm not tired!"
"There are still more than a hundred people who will be registered. I will be resting then!"
After saying that, Red Lotus no longer cared about her aching wrists and fingers. She picked up a pen and continued writing on the book.
"What a good child!"
When Hulk saw Red Lotus's actions, his aged face revealed a hint of emotion.
The sun set in the west and Red Lotus finally finished registering the refugees before the sky turned dark.
"Hu..."
Seeing the last refugee walk into Beiliang City, a smile appeared on Red Lotus's pale face.
"Finally completed, I'm so tired!"
Red Lotus shook her wrist, she was almost grateful that her wrist was not hers!
"I told you to rest for a while, but you still didn't listen!"
The old housekeeper, Hulk, complained, "It's fine now, do you know you're tired?"
"Besides, if the young city lord sees it, he will definitely worry about you!"
Hearing this, Red Lotus stuck out her little tongue and said in a gentle tone, "Grandpa Ah Fu, I know!"
"Don't worry. My wrist will be fine after a night's rest. It will definitely not affect Young Master's breakfast tomorrow!"
Hulk and Red Lotus turned around and walked into Beiliang City. Their figures were pulled by the sunset's afterglow for a long time.
"Grandpa Ah Fu, why do you call Young Master Young Master?"
"Isn't the City Master of Beiliang City Young Master?"
The old butler, Fu, let out a sigh when he heard this. His already hunched body became even more bent.
"Aiyah..."
"The young city lord is suffering!"
"The young city lord has been very smart since he was young. Originally, he followed the old city lord and madam and lived a very happy life."
"Unfortunately... after the old city lord and madam returned to the imperial city to report their duties, they never returned!"
"The young city lord has been looking forward to this for more than a month, and only then did he send a message back from the Imperial City."
"He said that the old city lord and madam passed away due to illness!"
"Huhu..."
The old butler, Ah Fu, laughed in a desolate manner.
"But how is this possible!"
"When we left, the old city lord and Madam were still fine. How could they have died of illness all of a sudden?"
"Since then, the young city lord became the city lord of Beiliang City."
"But because he missed the old city lord, the young city lord kept asking us to call him the young city lord!"
Raising his head to look at the city lord of Beiliang City, the old butler Ah Fu sighed and said, "Maybe the young city lord would only let go after the truth of the old city lord and his wife's death was revealed!"
Red Lotus listened to Hulk's narration quietly. Her large eyes were filled with tears.
At this moment, Red Lotus felt incomparable heartache for Li Huating.
In the City Lord's Mansion.
"Young Master..."
"I'm back!"
Red Lotus walked into the study room of the City Lord's Mansion and saw Li Huating sitting in front of a table, lighting a lamp and reading at night.
"You're back?"
Li Huating put down his book and looked up at Red Lotus, who was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Are you still tired?"
Red Lotus had her hands behind her back as she shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm not tired!"
"Not tired?"
Li Huating snorted lightly, "Give me your hand!"
"I..."
Hearing the sound, Red Lotus's body trembles as she slowly stretches out both of her hands.
Li Huating looked at Red Lotus's slightly swollen wrist and fingers and frowned.
"My hands are already swollen, and you still say that you aren't tired?"
"Give me your hand!"
Red Lotus lowered her head slightly and extended her wrist in front of Li Huating. She replied softly, "Oh."
Slap!
A cool feeling came from her wrist, causing the pain on Red Lotus's wrist to dissipate by more than half.
Raising her head, Red Lotus looked at her own wrist.
Li Huating placed a wet towel on his wrist.
"Thank you, gongzi!"
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Red Lotus's face as she said softly.
Li Huating held Red Lotus's wrist through the towel, his eyes revealing a trace of love.
"Remember, don't put your life on the line anymore, okay?"
"Okay!"
Red Lotus immediately nodded. "Red Lotus understands!"
Li Huating raised his hand to rub Red Lotus's head and said, "The refugees have all been registered?"
"The registration has been completed and the arrangements have been completed!"
"Alright!"
A satisfied look appeared in Li Huating's eyes. "Let them rest for a few days before starting work!"
