"Could it be because of her that Tortoiseshell City has experienced a drought?"
"Definitely because of her!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, but as they watched the line of carriages rapidly approaching and saw one man after another riding atop their steeds, despite being covered in dust, their imposing bearing still rendered the people of Tortoiseshell City silent, immediately clearing the way.
What surprised them most was that the City Lord and the Governor warmly and respectfully came forward to greet them.
"This subordinate (humble citizen) has seen His Highness Prince Rui and the Commandery Prince!"
Chu Yu did not speak; instead, Luo'er stepped forward and said, "Lead the way!"
"Yes, yes!"
Chu Yu, Yun Jinnian, and others had originally planned to stay at an inn, but as the small counties surrounding Tortoiseshell City were also stricken by the drought and suffering severe water shortages, it was better to stay at the City Lord Residence.
