Chapter 307: Going to the Banquet

The next morning, the sky was filled with silky clouds. As the sun hit the clouds, a faint yellow halo shone down and gradually started to light up Qingyuan City.

The soldiers woke up bright and early to clean up the streets of Qingyuan City, so that it could finally rid itself of the bloodshed from the day before.

Qin Ao ordered the soldiers to loudly announce on the streets, “The demonic beasts have all been exterminated. everybody may come out now!”

After the citizens peeped outside from their hiding holes in their homes and checked the streets through different scoping points, they hesitantly stepped outside one after the other.

The sound of crying, delight, and shock rang all around Qingyuan City… Different kinds of sounds intertwined together.

Han Moze tightly hugged Liu Rushuang’s waist, as they stood on the balcony of the Drunken Cloud Pavilion, watching over everything. Deep down inside, they were deeply moved.

“Your Majesties the Emperor and Empress, the Mayor of Qingyuan requests an audience,” Zhang respectfully reported from outside the room.

Han Moze released Liu Rushuang’s arms, spun around and spoke in a deep voice, “Let the mayor come in.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Zhang retreated downstairs and escorted Qin Ao upstairs .

Qin Ao opened the door when he arrived upstairs and saw Han Moze and Liu Rushuang seated at the table. “Greetings Your Majesties the Emperor and Empress,” he said politely with one hand cupping their fist, his face devoid of emotion.

“Mayor Qin, rise. I wonder what the mayor could possibly be looking for me for?”

“I’m very grateful to Your Majesties the Emperor and Empress for coming to help save us from this crisis. Right now, the city manor has been cleaned. I wonder if Your Majesties may do me the honour of attending the banquet I’ll be hosting at the manor,” said Qin Ao as a smile formed upon his sharp and handsome face.

“I suppose we shall have to trouble you Mayor Qin. Please arrange the banquet for noon. Her Majesty and I will absolutely be in attendance,” said Han Moze with a serenely magnetic voice.

“Thank you, Your Majesty for this honour. I’ll be taking my leave now to make preparations.” Qin Ao smiled and turned to leave.

At noon, Liu Rushuang and Han Moze boarded a sedan chair to the mayor’s manor.

When they reached the manor, Han Moze stepped off of the chair to reveal his black clothes with golden embroidery. His whole body exuded an aura of a ruler. His facial features looked prominent and his eyes looked sharp and deep. Without knowing it, he gave off a condescending feeling!

Liu Rushuang followed behind him and stepped out of the sedan to reveal her chiseled shoulders, silk-like waist, feather-like brows, and fair skin. She wore a complex yellow dress which accentuated her waistline, and her hair up in a topknot which was complimented with a golden head ornament. A slight wind brushed by, causing the tassels to sway. Her entire presence let off a faint celestial air.

It was hard to avoid there being many citizens surrounding the mayor’s gates to observe the spectacle. When they saw Han Moze and Liu Rushuang, their widened eyes couldn’t bear to look away.

Carried by a married woman, an innocent little girl cheerfully shrieked, “Mother! That big brother and sister look so good!”

The pretty married woman carrying the little girl immediately covered her mouth. “Do not scream during such moments. Be careful not to start rumours,” she said in a chilling voice and with furrowed brows.

The little girl immediately shut her mouth and did not dare to continue talking.

Liu Rushuang wore a faint smile as she got down from the sedan and walked beside Han Moze.

Qin Ao led dozens of nobles to wait at the city gates. When they saw Han Moze and Liu Rushuang step down from their sedan chairs, they immediately paid their respects. “Welcome Your Majesties the Emperor and Empress.”

“Mayor Qin, no need for formalities,” said Han Moze with a deep voice. Then, he walked into the mayor’s manor.

Qin Ao immediately smiled and walked up to them to personally escort them in.
