After a long voyage, when Black Moon City was in sight, all the restlessness and anxiety calmed down.
I'm back, thank God, I'm finally back alive.
Everyone stood on the deck, feeling so excited.
Such cruel battles, such difficult environments, I was desperate several times, and survived several times.
Some people even couldn't believe that they could come back safely when they thought about what happened during this period, and almost cried with joy.
Xiao Yi, Jiang Qi, and Liu Yan understand everyone's mood very well. After all, the battle in the Immortal Mountains still gives them nightmares.
Well, no matter what, it would be nice to come back.
The ship sailed into the port and approached the shore.
Originally, there were many ships coming and going every day, coming in and out, so there was nothing surprising.
But when Su Baijing and Dong Wang stepped off the boat, they immediately attracted the attention of all the residents.
In the past, the city lord's wife, who was charming and enchanting, a peerless beauty, and always unattainable, now looks a little haggard, and her clothes and hair accessories are also a little dirty.
Dong Wang has always been striding forward with great momentum, but now his eyes are full of exhaustion and decline.
Look at their men again, all of them are in ragged clothes, their eyes are dull, and they are weak in walking.
This is obviously a big defeat.
The news spread quickly, and more and more people gathered at the port.
Everyone looked at Su Baijing, Dong Wang and the others in disbelief.
Who can believe that such a lineup of experts, attacking with the momentum of victory, now escapes like a hurting dog?
Someone began to count the number of people who had returned, and gradually discovered that something was wrong. Not only were there missing a lot of people, but also an important person was missing.
Wait a minute, where is King Bei? Why don’t you see King Bei?
The good people confirmed again and again that King Bei was indeed not found.
The crowd began to talk a lot and made bad assumptions, that is, they were afraid that this trip would result in the loss of troops and even the loss of soldiers going north.
Su Baijing had a calm face, without saying a word, and hurriedly walked past everyone's surprised eyes, returning to the city lord's mansion.
The King of the East will naturally go to the city lord's mansion to return to his life, so he will let his subordinates go back on their own.
The subordinates looked at Su Baijing and Dong Wang's heavy steps, and couldn't help but imagine the pressure the two of them were under at the moment. They must be afraid of how they would explain all this when they see Yin Heiye later.
Xiao Yi, Liu Yan, and Jiang Qi didn't care, they just went back to their residences and had a good rest.
To be honest, I have been floating on the sea during this period, dangling from time to time. I am a little uncomfortable, so it is better to keep my feet on the ground.
In addition, eating seafood all the time seems to be quite unappetizing.
Jiang Qi vowed that as soon as he returned to Dongfu, he would eat and drink several times to replenish his nutrition.
"Wait a minute, maybe the assassin's craftsmanship is better, I might as well go to her house to eat."
When he thought of this, Jiang Qi wanted to leave the team and secretly find his beloved female assassin.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi discovered this guy's evil intentions in time and dragged him back.
Liu Yan was speechless. He had just come back, and Jiang Qi didn't know how to calm down and wanted to disturb others.
This makes people confused. Jiang Qi has no interest in doing anything on weekdays and looks lazy.
Why is it that when I encounter a female assassin, this guy is as energetic as chicken blood? Could this be considered a gift?
What the three of them didn't know was that there were assassins in the crowd just now.
The direction where Jiang Qi left the team just now and was going quietly, if the assassin saw it correctly, was her home.
"Oh my god, it's so dangerous, so scary, so scary."
The assassin was frightened for a while, and was secretly grateful to Xiao Yi for holding Jiang Qi back, otherwise he would have another nightmare tonight.
When he thought of this, the assassin wiped the cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Gradually, the crowd with no excitement to see finally dispersed, but the gossip had just begun.
After Su Baijing led the troops on the expedition, the news that the generals were returning after losing their troops spread to every corner of Black Moon City in a short period of time.
For a time, people were panicked.
Last time, plus this time, Black Moon City has suffered two defeats, which is not a good sign.
Not only did this news spread quickly, but in the process of spreading, it has been processed by many kinds of personal subjective speculations and has been derived into several versions.
For example, some versions are like this. The reason why Su Baijing escaped unscathed was because the King of Bei sacrificed his life and died. Otherwise, it is unexplainable. The least people from Beifu came back.
There are also very unreliable versions, saying that the enemy was too strong, Su Baijing escaped before the battle, causing the Northern King to be trapped in a tight siege, and Su Baijing was fully responsible for the defeat, etc.
Some versions say that after losing to the pirates this time, the pirates will attack Black Moon City next time, and then the creatures will be dyed.
If these gossips are still within the tolerance range, then there is a version that simply reveals Su Baijing’s inner scars.
It is said that Black Moon City sent people out to fight pirates, but not only were they killed by the pirates, but Su Baijing, the wife of the city lord, almost became the pirate king's woman.
This once made people suspect that the rumor maker was at the scene.
What's even more outrageous is that among the many versions, this one is the one that everyone talks about the most.
So the story of Su Baijing and the pirate woman became the most popular one among the many versions spread.
After Xiao Yi heard the news, he was speechless. This was a group of people watching the fun and not thinking it was a big deal.
But what bothered Xiao Yi the most was not the news that caused uproar in the city, nor was it Su Baijing's furious expression after knowing the news.
But this time the expedition forces suffered heavy casualties, so what kind of attitude would Yin Heiye have? He would definitely be furious, and then he would lead the expedition himself.
But quietly on the contrary, everything is calm in the City Lord's Mansion.
Calculating the time, it has been a while since Su Baijing returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and Yin Heiye should know everything, so it shouldn't be like this.
Xiao Yi folded his arms and stood on the roof, staring at the towering City Lord's Mansion, but never felt a powerful and angry wave of aura.
"Damn it, can you bear this?"
Xiao Yi frowned, saying he had lost the battle and was not angry.
Your wife was almost taken over by someone. Can you tolerate this? Are you still a man?
This has nothing to do with demeanor. Any bloody man, even a majestic king, will be angry.
Xiao Yi doesn't believe that in this world, unless you are crushed by strength, people will encounter unpleasant things, lose control of their emotions, and get angry.
If you can tolerate this, then there must be a compelling reason.
Seriously injured, extremely weak, without the strength to be angry or the ability to take revenge.
In Xiao Yi's mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene where the dark night launched an attack thousands of miles away, rushed to the rescue of Su Baijing, and bombarded Hai Dalong.
