Chapter 187: The Things Have Arrived

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ten minutes after noon, the city lord of Xijiu City received news that there were officers escorting three carts of carriages brimming with supplies into the city.

The overjoyed City Lord Gu hurriedly went out to receive them and eagerly led Guard Captain He back to the City Lord’s Estate.

Only after he had served tea and a meal he learned that the supplies were not intended for Xijiu City...

He had gotten the wrong idea the entire time. The City Lord turned embarrassed immediately.

Hidden Flower was pretending to be He Tian’s subordinate and witnessed everything. His stomach was aching from how much he was secretly laughing.

If it were not for the three tails that persistently followed them, Hidden Flower would really like to take a look at the little miss that the crown prince was deeply worried about as soon as he entered the city.

‘Now though... I’ll just let those three flies wildly fly outside for a while.’

“I heard that City Lord Gu has sent people to Qinghe Town?” He Tian asked after a meaningful look from Hidden Flower.

City Lord Gu was still immersed in the sadness of the fact that the royal court did not send supplies to Xijiu City...

The royal court’s generous gift was intended for a little miss. In his miserable state, a stoic little face inexplicably leaped up in his mind.

That was impossible, right? City Lord Gu could not link Miss Qiao and the royal court together no matter how he thought about it!

However, City Lord Gu would quickly discover that his guess was not wrong. They really came for that stoic little miss.

“Can City Lord Gu please help us invite the little miss to the City Lord’s Estate? Don’t do it with great fanfare, just a secret invitation will do,” He Tian said with his taut and solemn square-shaped face.

Sir Hidden Flower’s intention was to let Little Miss decide for herself how to deal with the three tails when she got here.

If Little Miss was too lazy to act, then Sir could exterminate the three flies himself.

Gu Qingfeng could not help but smile bitterly. “Early this morning, Miss Qiao followed the three sects to head to Qinghe Town. I’m afraid she won’t be able to come to accept the supplies for a while.”

He Tian’s face instantly darkened. “Aren’t your actions a bit undue, City Lord? How can you send a minor to a dangerous place like that?”

Anguish filled Gu Qingfeng, but he could only say obsequiously, “The little girl departed with her master’s sect. There shouldn’t be a problem with the care of the senior sisters from the Holy Water Sect.”

It was the decision of her master’s sect, so there was nothing that He Tian could say.

“Since it’s like that, then these supplies will have to be stored in the City Lord’s Estate for a few days,” Hidden Flower said with a smile but his brows were slightly furrowed.

Although City Lord Gu was crying on the inside, he could not show it on his face. He joyfully nodded and had the servants prepare rooms for He Tian and his group to rest.

When City Lord Gu got up to escort them, City Lord Gu coughed and could not help but ask timidly, “May I ask when the royal court will distribute supplies to Xijiu City?”

He Tian immediately donned on a very official face and said, “Recently, zombies have risen everywhere. Many cities and towns are overrun with chaos, and they are so deficient in supplies that they are littered with staving people.”

“Hence, the royal court will first prioritize the distribution of supplies to those extremely impoverished places. In contrast to that, Xijiu City is very stable and prosperous. His Highness once praised City Lord Gu for your skilled administration and benevolence. Both the crown prince and the king are very satisfied with you, so the royal court doesn’t need to send a provincial magistrate to supervise the city.”

Gu Qingfeng was elated with joy, and his mouth could not close from how big his smile was. “His Highness is exaggerating.”

Gu Qingfeng was immediately duped with a few words and completely forgot about requesting supplies. He eagerly led them to rest.
