"Report!"
Another urgent report sounded as a guard rushed into the main hall, his face brimming with excitement.
"Reporting to the City Lord, they've arrived! The people have arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changhong's figure flashed, and he was instantly outside the City Lord's Mansion.
In front of the mansion gates, an old woman dressed in a plain long robe was approaching slowly.
Her head full of silver hair was loosely fastened with a cyan jade hairpin, with a few strands of hair draping over her wrinkled forehead.
Her weather-beaten face was deeply sunken around the eyes, with slightly drooping corners of her mouth, exuding a sense of weariness.
The hem of her plain robe was stained with dust, clearly showing she had hurried here through a long journey.
"Master Ji!" Li Changhong's pupils contracted in disbelief, but he soon revealed a look of joy and quickly stepped forward to greet her.
