Chapter 2017 Tyrone City Lord
Chapter 2017 Tyrone City Lord
The expression of the Lord of Tyrone was also uncertain at this moment, just like the unpredictable sky, sometimes covered with dark clouds, sometimes clear and bright. How could he not think of what his guards could think of? However, he knew the interests involved better than anyone else.
Recalling the previous few fish-headed people who brought these people here arrogantly, saying that it was the eldest prince's intention, although he was unwilling at the time, he was hindered by the eldest prince's power and did not want to offend the future king, so he thought of doing a favor and readily agreed. Who would have thought that these people's backgrounds were so big, it was simply a hot potato, making him now in a dilemma, unable to back down.
At this moment, the Lord of Tailong City felt mixed emotions. He knew very well that his one wrong thought might drag the entire Seaman City into an unpredictable storm. However, now that things had come to this, how should he end it?
The atmosphere around them became increasingly tense, and everyone's breathing became heavy and rapid. In this sudden storm, they seemed to be tiny ants, unable to fight, and could only wait for the judgment of fate. And Liu Jun's identity was like a sword hanging over their heads, which could fall at any time and cut off all their hopes and peace.
"These friends of mine were unfortunately separated from me due to the unpredictable weather in the Sea of Death. I was extremely worried about their safety in that vast ocean. Thanks to your generosity in taking in my friends and providing them with shelter, I, Liu Jun, am truly grateful for this kindness." Liu Jun spoke again, his words full of sincerity and gratitude.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Tailong City breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. He knew very well the implication of Liu Jun's words, which was simply to give him a way to resolve the embarrassment and avoid conflict.
"Alas, Your Highness is so polite. Our sea people have been known for being kind and charitable since ancient times. No matter whether they are Your Highness' friends or not, as long as they are travelers who encounter difficulties in our sea area, we will lend a helping hand without hesitation." The Lord of Tailong said with a smile, and took the step handed to him by Liu Jun.
At this time, the burly guard also reacted quickly and immediately shouted to the guards around him: "What are you doing? Why are you surrounding His Highness? There is no need for so many people to protect His Highness, get out!"
Following his orders, the guards evacuated one after another, and the scene suddenly became much emptier.
After the guards had withdrawn, the Lord of Tailong City came to Liu Jun with a smile on his face.
He half-knelt, trying to make himself shorter than Liu Jun to show his respect and reverence for Liu Jun. After all, it was more or less disrespectful to talk down to someone of higher status than oneself.
"Well, Your Highness the Holy Son of Skyfire, you have come from afar. As the city lord of the Sea People, I was unable to greet you in person. It is really a dereliction of duty! Please forgive me!" The words of the City Lord Tailong were full of apology and sincerity.
"Lord Tyrone, there is no need to be so polite. As the lord of a city, you are busy with affairs, which I can understand. Moreover, I came here secretly. You have provided so much help to my friends, and I cannot thank you enough. You must be tired in this posture, so you should stand up and talk." As he spoke, Liu Jun gently helped Lord Tyrone up.
"Then are you free later, Your Highness?" The Lord of Tailong said with a smile, "I want to prepare a feast for you and your friends. I hope to take this opportunity to show my hospitality and let you feel the enthusiasm and hospitality of our Sea People."
"Of course. I'm hungry too. I can't refuse the kindness of Lord Tailong. How can I not go there happily?" Liu Jun agreed without hesitation.
However, the people behind him, such as Fatty Tiger, seemed a little anxious. Their eyes revealed uneasiness and worry, and they exchanged nervous glances from time to time. They heard from the fish-headed people that it was the eldest prince of the sea beast tribe who attacked them. In their eyes, this seaman city has become a place of right and wrong, full of dangers, as if it could face the eldest prince's surprise attack at any time.
"Then, Your Highness, please wait for a moment. I will go and prepare the banquet." Upon seeing this, the Lord of Tailong City was aware of something in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face and said respectfully, "Once everything is ready, I will come to invite you in person. I will not dare to neglect you in the slightest."
"Lord Tailong, you are so polite. Please go ahead and do your work. When the time comes, just ask a servant to come and tell me. There is no need to come in person." Liu Jun replied with a smile.
"No, no, no. Your Highness, please take a rest first. I will take my leave now. I will definitely entertain you later." The Lord of Tailong City bowed slightly, with a hint of panic and respect in his tone, then turned around and led his men away in a hurry.
Liu Jun nodded and watched the Tailong City Lord and his party leave, still with that gentle smile on his face. However, a subtle solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Jun, why are you staying here for dinner? Aren't you leaving?" The fat man asked, blinking his eyes and looking confused.
"Do you think the Lord of Tyrone will let us go?" Liu Jun curled his lips slightly, a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he responded lightly.
"Isn't this guy quite afraid of you?" The fat man scratched his head, looking puzzled.
In his opinion, Liu Jun's identity just now had already scared these sea people, including the Lord of Tailong City.
"He's not afraid of me, but the Skyfire Divine Realm behind me." Liu Jun sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "And he's also afraid of offending the eldest prince of the sea beast tribe. So, even if we asked to leave just now, he would have tried his best to keep us here, but he wouldn't do it too drastically, and he still had to put in some superficial efforts."
At this point, Liu Jun's eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about some deeper issues.
"Brother Tiger, go find Boss Yao and the others and tell them what happened here." Liu Jun suddenly changed the subject and said to Tiger who was silent beside him. "Oh, okay." Tiger was stunned for a moment, then agreed, and walked out of the wing room with big strides and walked outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Their current status, because of Liu Jun's arrival, has changed from prisoners to distinguished guests. Therefore, naturally no one would stop Tiger, and Tiger passed through the layers of guards of the City Lord's Mansion unimpeded and headed straight to the west of the city.
In the wing room, Liu Jun and the fat ape continued to talk. The fat man still had doubts on his face, but more of it was trust in Liu Jun. He knew that Liu Jun must have a new plan.
"Brother Jun, what are we going to do next?" The fat man finally couldn't help asking, his eyes full of curiosity.
Liu Jun was silent for a while, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Then, he slowly said, "Let's wait and see. Since Lord Tailong wants us to stay, then we will stay. I want to see if they dare to confront the Skyfire Divine Realm head-on and what their purpose is."
I don’t know how much time had passed, but there was a gentle knock on the door of the wing, breaking the silence inside.
"Your Highness, the banquet is ready. When do you want to come over?" The respectful yet enthusiastic voice of the Lord of Tyrone came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Liu Jun gently pushed open the door of the wing room, looked at the iron tower-like Tyrone City Lord outside the door, and said with a smile: "Let's go over now. I'm sorry to bother Tyrone City Lord to come here in person."
"Of course, please." The Lord of Tailong City quickly made a gesture of invitation, with a smile on his face, and led Liu Jun to the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, the two occasionally exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere was harmonious and friendly. Fatty and the others followed obediently not far behind. Chen Manni had already woken up and was supported by Fatty to eat together.
When they reached a garden, Liu Jun suddenly stopped, turned to look at the Lord of Tailong City, and said, "By the way, Lord of Tailong City, I have some friends in the big warehouse in the west of the city. They can't come to the banquet because of some things. Can you find someone to send some food over? They have come from far away, and I don't want them to go hungry."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Tailong paused for a moment. His expression did not change at all, and he still maintained that warm smile. After a little thought, he said, "Your friends are our honored guests of Tailong. How can we let them starve outside the city? Why don't you invite them to come over and have a gathering together? I have prepared a lot of food and wine, enough for everyone to enjoy."
After listening to the words of Lord Tailong, Liu Jun looked at him gratefully and said, "Lord Tailong is really considerate. I would like to thank you on behalf of my friends. Then can you arrange someone to notify them? Just say it was me who said it."
"Haha, Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. We are all family." The Lord of Tyrone laughed heartily a few times, then called over the burly guard who was standing upright, and whispered a few words to him. The guard nodded immediately after listening, then turned around and left quickly.
After the burly guard left, the Lord of Tailong turned back and said to Liu Jun and others with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, please follow me." As he said that, he stepped forward, and Liu Jun and others followed closely. After a while, they passed through the gorgeously decorated corridors and arrived at the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was really spacious, with dazzling crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, illuminating the entire hall. There were seven large round tables in the hall, each filled with a variety of exquisite wines and delicacies, the aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
Liu Jun glanced at the number of tables and chairs and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This Tailong City Lord is quite big and has a big heart. It seems that he really sent people to follow the tiger, and he even knew how many people were in the warehouse. However, Liu Jun remained calm and just nodded slightly to show his satisfaction with the banquet.
"Come on, Your Highness, please take a seat." The Lord of Tailong City warmly invited Liu Jun to sit at the table in the middle. The table was located in the center of the entire banquet hall and had the most prominent position. Liu Jun smiled and nodded, then walked over and sat down calmly.
After they sat down and chatted for a while, Yao Guangxiao and his group arrived, including the crew members and guards, but most of the expressions on their faces were confused with a hint of fear.
Only Yao Guangxiao and Yang Xiao had indifferent expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they did not take the current situation seriously.
After everyone arrived, they greeted Liu Jun, and then sat down in turn under the arrangement of several maids, each finding a seat.
When the Lord of Tyrone saw that everyone had arrived, he raised his glass, stood up, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am very happy that His Royal Highness the Holy Son and you have come today. Let me dare to raise a glass and wish His Royal Highness the Holy Son and you all have fun here and enjoy yourself."
Upon hearing this, everyone raised their glasses and responded to the call of the Lord of Tailong. For a moment, the banquet hall was filled with the aroma of wine, laughter and joy, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. However, in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, there were hidden undercurrents and calculations that were unknown to the public...
