Chapter 281: Turns out they were all acquaintances, something I could get even more drunk on
Looking at the figure in the lobby, Su Shi couldn’t help being a little surprised.
Why is she here?
Looking at the two people at the next table, his eyes stopped again.
“It seems that the people I met today are all acquaintances.”
“Honoured guest?”
The waiter asked “Are you sitting downstairs in the lobby, or shall I prepare a private room for you upstairs?”
Su Shi regained his senses, shook his head and said, “Don’t bother, my friend is here, I’ll just sit at the table with her.”
As he spoke, he walked towards the centre of the lobby.
Yu Jiao Long was listening to the storyteller intently, when she felt someone sitting next to hee, her brows suddenly wrinkled, and she said coldly, “Go away, don’t get in the way.”
The man didn’t listen and poured himself some wine.
Yu Jiao Long was about to get angry when she suddenly realised something, and her body suddenly froze.
Turning her head slowly, she saw a strange man sitting beside her.
Even if his face was covered in illusion, it couldn’t hide from her perception at all.
Yu Jiao Long looked excited, “Sheng…!”
Before she was about to speak, Su Shi placed his finger in front of her lips, “Shhh, don’t make a sound.”
There were many people here.
He didn’t want to be too noisy.
Yu Jiao Long’s eyes shone brightly, and he whispered, “Shengzi, why are you here?”
Su Shi smiled and said: “I heard that you were assigned to the border, I came to see you specially.”
Yu Jiao Long’s face was slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly.
But something felt wrong.
The Demon Empress sent her to the northern border, which was very far from Youzhou’s southern border, which was almost across the entire Linlang Empire.
She was a powerhouse in the Tribulation Realm, so she could do it in one day.
But why did Su Shi come so soon?
But that thought was fleeting.
No matter how the other party came, the surprise of seeing him again had surpassed everything.
Su Shi said: “I thought Her Majesty would send you to the Western Region, after all, there are sect troops there. I didn’t expect to meet you in Huangyuan City.”
Yu Jiaolong shook her head and said, “The Western Region is too close to sect, I think Her Majesty is worried that I will meet you secretly.”
Su Shi was silent for a moment.
Sure enough.
Her Majesty says she is not jealous, but she is actually an acute jeal!
“But I didn’t expect you to come to me.”
Yu Jiao Long quietly took her hand, with a blush on her cheeks, “I’m so happy.”
Wang Mao, who was sitting at the next table, looked puzzled, “Who is this person? Could it be that Yu Jiao Long came to Huangyuan City just to see him?”
Judging from Yu Jiao Long’s shy appearance, the relationship between the two must not be simple.
Yu Ze frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
Spiritual power gathered in his eyes and looked carefully.
He saw that the man’s face seemed to be filled with mist, and under the guise of illusion, he could faintly see his true appearance.
“No, no way….”
Yu Ze’s eyes were round and his face was full of disbelief.
Wang Mao wondered: “Why are you so surprised?”
At this moment, a voice transmission sounded in their ears, “You two, come and sit down.
“Huh?”
Hearing that familiar voice, Wang Mao’s expression instantly froze.
There was no way he could have recognised this voice wrongly!
It was Duke Su!
Both were breathing a little too fast.
However, because Su Shi covered his face, he naturally didn’t want to be discovered by others, so they restrained themselves and didn’t exclaim.
When they came to Su Shi and sat down, the two stood up straight.
“This subordinate greets Sir Duke.”
“I didn’t know that Sir Duke was coming, this subordinate is blind for not recognising you.”
Seeing their restrained looks, Su Shi shook his head and said, “Alright, we are all acquaintances, so there is no need tobe polite.”
He and Wang Mao had once fought side by side, and greatly admired this burly man.
Moreover, Wang Mao and Yu Ze spoke truthfully in court for him, and to help him improve his name, they even dared to confront the Holy Empress.
Su Shi remembered them.
The two became very relaxed after hearing it.
Wang Mao scratched his head and said, “Why did Sir Duke suddenly come? I didn’t prepare any welcome.”
Su Shi said: “I happened to be passing by, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“Passing by?”
The two looked at each other.
This is the northern border, is Sir Duke about to go to the Barbarian Realm?
However, the identity of the other party is complicated, so they don’t ask much about this kind of thing.
“Sir Duke, last time you left in a hurry, we couldn’t drink properly, this time you can’t leave without saying goodbye.”
“Right, we won’t go home if we don’t get drunk today, waiter, get us a drink!”
Su Shi shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing this situation, the two had no intention of letting go.
Seeing that the three people were busy, the guests around them looked a little curious.
Although Wang Mao was just a frontier general, he actually had the title of “human race hero” granted by the Holy Empress, a high official of the imperial court.
Not to mention General Yu.
This time the northern border was pushed forward, and General Yu led the troops to escort the border monument…
Vigorously raised a series of national prestige.
It was these two important officials of the imperial court who showed extra enthusiasm and sincere respect when facing the strange man.
It was a pity that their conversation was interrupted due to the barrier that surrounded them.
No one else could hear what they were talking about.
“Duke Su, I really admire you.”
Wang Mao picked up the wine glass and said seriously: “We have heard about your actions in the Capital. Thank you for bringing Chu Yin to justice with your own hands and delivering justice to our soldiers in the Northern Region!”
The army worked hard on the border, maintaining the defence line and refusing to surrender.
No one expected that the mastermind who almost killed the residents of a city would turn out to be the very Royal Family they were protecting!
Once the matter spread, the entire Northern Region exploded.
If not for the Holy Empress’ order to kill Chu Yin, Wang Mao would have planned to go to the Capital to get an explanation.
And Chu Yin’s crimes were exposed by Su Shi.
Su Shi shook his head and said, “Actually, I didn’t do much.”
Feng Chaoge knew it for a long time, but she never found a reason to do so.
The most he did was encourage it.
Yu Ze said with a smile, “No need to be humble, Sir Duke. If you did not reveal Chu Yin’s true colours, I would have thought that he was truly a WiseKing.”
Su Shi smiled and did not bother to explain.
“Cheers.”
“Cheers!”
The jug was shaken, and the cup was replaced.
Yu Jiao Long sat beside him obediently, and seriously helped Su Shi pour the wine.
Wang Mao and Yu Ze couldn’t help but feel amazed when they saw him.
To make an Eastern Saint so obedient, most likely only Duke Su in the world could do it?
Yu Ze asked with the power of wine: “I heard that Saint Yu always drinks wine, why don’t you drink together?”
Yu Jiao Long said lightly, “I have stopped.”
“Oh why?”
Yu Ze was a little curious.
The Eastern Saint was notoriously addicted to alcohol, why would he suddenly stop drinking?
Yu Jiao Long looked at Su Shi with fascination, blushing, “Because now there is something that can make me more drunk.”
“Cough cough.”
Su Shi almost choked on his drink.
The two suddenly froze and silently gave a thumbs up.
“As expected of Duke Su.”
“I admire you.”
Su Shi’s mouth twitched, “It’s not what you guys think!”
