A middle-aged man rushed out of the city gate on a fast horse, jumped down when he was still a dozen meters away from Søren, rushed to Søren, and hugged him tightly.
He hugged him so tightly that Søren could hardly break free.
This was a very majestic and powerful middle-aged man, about 180 centimeters tall, with an elegant but dignified face, eyes like bright stars, nose like a hanging gall, and lips like painted vermilion.
In short, this was a middle-aged man full of charm, every part of his body was full of trustworthy and even admirable aura.
What Søren particularly noticed was that his ears were very long, and the earlobes were very thick.
This person was the duke of the kingdom, the Lord of Waterfront City, Gui Xingfu, and also Søren's future father-in-law.
"Let's go home with uncle, Waterfront City will be your home in the future." Gui Xingfu tightly grasped Søren's hand and walked towards the city. His hand was warm and full of strength.
Seeing this scene, the others temporarily heaved a sigh of relief. At least Count Gui Xingfu would not fall out with him, and he completely regarded Søren as a family member.
But Søren's heart did not relax, instead he became more vigilant.
In this world, there is a very dangerous kind of people. They are very loyal and often do not know when they will sell you out.
And there was one thing that Gui Xingfu could hardly wash away. If he really cared about Søren, then why did he not help when Tianshui City fell? Why did his army not meet him on the north bank of Nujiang, even if he did not know that Søren would come to Waterfront City?
Moreover, the suspension bridge to Waterfront City was so important, how could it be destroyed so strangely?
At this time, Gui Xingfu said sadly: "It's uncle's fault that you have suffered so much. When Nurdan and the other thieves rebelled, I should have sent troops to help immediately. After the fall of Tianshui City, although I don't know if you will come, I should still send troops to support you. "
Søren was taken aback. Gui Xingfu seemed to be able to read his mind, as if he knew exactly what he was thinking.
Gui Xingfu continued, "More than a month ago, His Majesty the King sent a delegation to the East Li Kingdom for a visit. Since Prince Jiang Ye of the Dongli Kingdom used to know me, His Majesty put me in the delegation. That's why I've been visiting the Dongli Kingdom for some time and only returned home yesterday. When I heard that Tianshui City had fallen, I immediately gathered the army to go to Tianshui City to receive you. Unexpectedly, I received a report that you had already arrived at Linhai City. "
At this point, Gui Xingfu paused and looked at Søren with eyes full of sincerity. "It's uncle's fault for making you suffer so much. It's really a blessing that you are safe and sound. Otherwise, how can I explain it to my dead brother? "
In a few words, all the moral flaws of Gui Xingfu had been washed clean.
Søren suddenly had some doubts in his heart. The feelings of his father-in-law in front of him were too sincere, it was really difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
However, it was very easy to distinguish between the real and the fake. He just needed to know if he was willing to marry Gui Qinshao to Søren.
Next, Gui Xingfu took Søren's hand and walked to the Linhai City Lord Residence.
The main city of Linhai was not as big as Tianshui City, but it was very prosperous. There were shops one after another on the street, and the people on the road were also bustling. Moreover, Gui Xingfu's prestige and popularity here was very high. All the people would cheer when they saw him, salute him from the bottom of their hearts, and even kneel down.
And Gui Xingfu would also very patiently wave to the people, and even chat with them. He was completely the model of a person who loved the people like his own children.
After entering the Mayor Residence, Søren found that the Mayor Residence wasn't very big. It was very close to the people in the downtown area. Moreover, the security didn't seem to be very strict.
At the entrance of the Mayor Residence, a graceful and beautiful woman was already waiting there with a group of people. This should be Gui Xingfu's wife, Madam Turings.
That's right, Turings was Turings Tuo's younger sister and cousin.
Søren found that this Madam Turings had some foreign blood in her. Although her hair was black, her eyes were green.
Her skin was very snow-white, and her figure was especially attractive. Although she was old and slightly plump, whether it was the mountain peaks in front of her chest or the round buttocks below her waist, the size was very shocking. It was a completely shocking model.
She was extremely beautiful. She wore a purplish-red dress, appearing extremely noble and dazzling. Her beauty was overwhelming.
When she saw Søren, she frowned slightly, then forced a smile.
"My dear nephew, this is your aunt, and also your future mother-in-law," Gui Xingfu said.
This sentence seemed to be said casually, but it made Suo Ningbing and the others behind Søren overjoyed.
Now that Søren had lost his territory, he was like a stray dog, and his reputation was very bad. Therefore, everyone around him felt that even if this marriage didn't fall through, it would still take a lot of effort. They didn't expect that Gui Xingfu would directly point it out.
However, when his wife, Madam Turings, heard the word "mother-in-law", her beautiful face twitched slightly. The forced smile on her face couldn't be maintained anymore. It was obvious that she didn't like Søren.
"Son-in-law greets mother-in-law." Søren immediately went forward and bowed.
Madam Turings's eyes were cold. She nodded slightly and said, "From now on, treat this place as your home."
When she said this, her tone was very stiff.
"Where's Gui Qinshao? Why didn't she come to see her fiancé? "After looking around, Gui Xingfu didn't see his daughter, and was immediately unhappy.
"I've already sent someone to look for him," Madam Turings said.
Hearing this, Søren's heart skipped a beat.
Then, Gui Xingfu arranged almost everything for Søren. He prepared the best clothes, the best residence, the best food, and the best maids and servants.
Moreover, he also arranged for every warrior in the family.
However, Madam Turings's attitude in front of outsiders became completely cold after entering the mayor's residence, and she directly left expressionlessly.
Immediately, Gui Xingfu smiled at Søren apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, your aunt is like this. She's very straightforward, and everything is written on her face. Perhaps you don't know, but my reputation for being henpecked has spread throughout the kingdom. "
When he said this, he was confident and self-deprecating, and it was easy for people to unconsciously feel close to and trust him.
Then, Gui Xingfu said, "Gui Qinshao's character is like his mother, so you have to give in to him in the future."
Søren smiled and said, "I'll strive to promote my reputation as a henpecked person."
"Hehe, a man only needs to take the initiative in the key battlefield, and the rest can be muddled." Gui Xingfu winked mischievously.
Without a doubt, the key battlefield he was talking about was on the bed.
This kind of words would probably only be said between the closest father-in-law and son-in-law.
It had to be said that Gui Xingfu was really a very admirable elder. Perhaps anyone who saw him for more than half an hour would be full of good feelings towards him. In the past, perhaps it was because of this that Sauron and Gui Xingfu became best friends.
"Alright, nephew, you must be tired after running around for so many days. I'll have someone make you a bowl of ginseng porridge, and after drinking it, you can take a bath and have a good sleep," Gui Xingfu said, "Tonight, I'll hold a banquet at the mayor's residence to welcome you."
"Thank you, uncle." Søren said, "Will Gui Qinshao return home tonight?"
"Of course she will." Gui Xingfu said, "Her fiancé is here, and if she dares not to return home, she won't be able to come back anymore. Don't worry, I can't do anything to your aunt, but I'm still very strict with my daughter. Then have a good rest, nephew, I'll see you at night. "
Then, Gui Xingfu left.
…
Soon, the maidservants came with steaming hot ginseng porridge, and Søren drank a few bowls in a row.
After he was full, the maidservants had already prepared the bath soup.
Søren hadn't had a good bath for a few days, and he comfortably soaked in the bath soup.
After a while, a pair of small hands massaged his scalp. It was very comfortable.
This was his sister, Suo Ningbing.
"The situation is better than expected, right?" Suo Ningbing asked.
Søren said, "I don't know, but tonight's banquet, we'll know."
Suo Ningbing said, "What are you going to do at the banquet? Borrow money, soldiers, and territory? "
Søren shook his head, "Of course not, I can't mention these things."
Suo Ningbing asked, "Then what should I mention? There will be a lot of guests tonight, and Gui Xingfu has always cherished his reputation. Our Suo clan has done him a great favor, if we borrow territory and money in public, he won't be able to refuse. "
Søren said, "No, I will only do one thing today. That is to propose to Gui Qinshao, and ask for the wedding to be done in a few days. "
Suo Ningbing was stunned, every time she mentioned the engagement with Gui Qinshao, Søren wasn't very happy, and he was either silent or evasive. She didn't expect that he would propose directly today.
"Well, you have the final say, I'm not as smart as you," Suo Ningbing said.
After the bath, he changed into comfortable pajamas, and lay on the soft and fragrant bed.
Søren didn't sleep well, because he was too thoughtful, such people often couldn't sleep.
Suo Ningbing sat on the edge of the bed, gently humming a tune, and gently rubbed Søren's temples.
Just like this, Søren finally fell asleep.
…
At night, without waiting for anyone to call, Søren opened his eyes and woke up.
He found that Suo Ningbing was still in the room, ironing Søren's brocade robe with a hot iron.
This robe was the Count of Tianshui's robe given by the king, and the golden crown was neatly placed on the table.
Tonight, Søren would wear this robe to attend the banquet.
"Sister, you haven't slept all this time?" Søren asked worriedly.
"I slept for a while," Suo Ningbing said, "Come, put on the new clothes."
Then, Suo Ningbing personally helped him put on the Count's robe and the golden crown.
"Xiao Lun, you're so beautiful that I can't open my eyes," Suo Ningbing clapped her hands.
This made Søren embarrassed.
At this moment, Gui Xingfu's voice came from outside, "Nephew, come with me. All the guests have arrived, and we're just waiting for you, our beloved guest. "
When Gui Xingfu came in and saw the new Søren, his eyes suddenly brightened. He applauded and praised, "Nephew, you're really dazzling. I'm afraid you're going to outshine everyone tonight."
Then, he said to Suo Ningbing, "Xiao Bing, let's go."
"Listen to uncle," Suo Ningbing said softly.
Immediately, Gui Xingfu held Søren's hand and walked towards the banquet hall.
After passing two courtyards, a corridor, and a garden, the banquet hall with a capacity of nearly ten thousand people was in front.
At this time, it was brightly lit, and there was a hubbub of voices.
Before Gui Xingfu arrived, he said heartily, "Everyone, tonight's star is here. Everyone take a look, isn't my brother's son terrifyingly handsome? "
As soon as this was said, all the guests stopped talking and looked at Søren who was standing beside Gui Xingfu.
Then, Gui Xingfu said, "Gui Qinshao, why aren't you coming to welcome your brother Søren?"
As soon as this was said, Søren immediately looked at the crowd.
He noticed Gui Qinshao at first glance because she was the most beautiful girl in the crowd. Her beauty was simply out of this world and extremely dazzling.
