Chapter 181: Attacking each other
In the city lord's mansion, in the study, the Metropolitan Governor was sitting on a chair behind his desk, smiling patiently listening to Liu Luanlin's report, and a heavily armed officer beside him stood expressionlessly, his hand pressing the handle of the saber. This officer was the chief of the guard of the Grand Duke, and his name was Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu's indifferent and ruthless appearance was in stark contrast to the gentleness and elegance of the Grand Duke.
Even the old fox Liu Luanlin couldn't help but feel a little weak at this time, and he himself couldn't figure out what the Metropolitan Governor was thinking in his heart?
However, when Wang Ba was about to be hard to the end, he clenched his fists again and said to the Metropolitan Governor in a deep voice: "Metropolitan Governor, Chen Ning's Black Army has been secretly kidnapping the people of the homeless camp during this time and selling them to the zombies as rations. And he was able to rescue a group of homeless people from the Southern War Zone, deep into the occupied area, and from Qingxiu City, which was surrounded by zombies, and I felt bored at the time. Now it seems that he must have colluded with the zombies, so he was able to come back from the encirclement of the zombies with Qingxiu City's ninja...... Metropolitan Governor, Chen Ning's behavior has seriously touched the interests of the empire, contrary to the ethics of our human race, he is such a great rebel, I implore the Metropolitan Governor to destroy his relatives in righteousness. ”
When Liu Luanlin said the righteous killing of relatives, the smile on the corner of the governor's mouth seemed to be a little thicker.
Who is the governor of the capital, as soon as he heard Liu Luanlin say the words righteous annihilation, he already understood what the other party meant.
Liu Luanlin is reminding the Metropolitan Governor: Don't be partial to Chen Ning just because he is your protégé, Chen Ning will not tolerate this kind of thing, even if the Metropolitan Governor of You, the best way is to execute Chen Ning like Zhuge Liang in ancient times, so as not to tarnish your reputation as the Metropolitan Governor.
The Metropolitan Governor nodded and comforted: "Colonel Liu don't worry, you are the old general of Vermilion Bird City, I often tell others that without you Liu Luanlin in Vermilion Bird City, it may have fallen like Qilin City." ”
When Liu Luanlin heard this, although he knew that the words of the Metropolitan Governor were exaggerated, he still couldn't help but feel a little proud, and thought: After all, I am the person of the shepherd, and the Metropolitan Governor does not look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, before there is no evidence, Chen Ning and I accuse each other, if the Metropolitan Governor finally wants to stand on my side, he can't kill me, the commander of a large legion, for a little colonel with no foundation, and he also risks offending the shepherd.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door of the study, and then an officer opened the door and came in, and reported: "Governor, Chen Ning has arrived, waiting outside the door to be summoned." ”
The Metropolitan Governor nodded and said to Liu Luanlin: "Colonel Liu, you go out first, and I will interrogate Chen Ning." ”
When Liu Luanlin heard this, he could only stand up: "That subordinate is waiting outside, waiting for the execution of the Grand Governor, to seek justice for my two troops who have suffered heavy casualties." ”
The Metropolitan Governor nodded: "Okay!"
Liu Luanlin went out, Chen Ning came in, the two met at the door, Liu Luanlin's eyes burst out with hatred, Chen Ning was full of righteousness, his eyes did not squint, and he didn't seem to see Liu Luanlin in his eyes at all. Chen Ning walked straight to the Metropolitan Governor and snapped a standard military salute: "I've seen the Metropolitan Governor." ”
When Liu Luanlin went out and the door closed, the smile on the face of the Metropolitan Governor was gone, replaced by a dark color: "Chen Ning, how did you do it?"
Chen Ning stated everything in the briefest words, of course, omitting two points, one is that he used the power of the Scarlet Tyrant to successfully escape from the attack of the Demon Scorpion Tyrant, and the other is that he personally defeated the Black Wolf Army.
After hearing this, the Metropolitan Governor was slightly moved: "You said that Liu Luanlin's son Liu Ming has obtained the kiss of death from the Demon Scorpion Tyrant and has become a zombie." And the population that Liu Luanlin smuggled in the past two months was to use it as rations for his son?"
"Yes, in addition, Liu Luanlin should have provided the Demon Scorpion Tyrant with a lot of confidential information about our Imperial Military Department, so recently, the zombies have repeatedly attacked our Vermilion Bird Defense Line and have been successful repeatedly. ”
The Metropolitan Governor looked at Chen Ning: "What about the evidence?"
Chen Ning: "There are dozens of displaced people, can they be used as witnesses?"
The Metropolitan Governor sneered: "Dozens of homeless people, do you know how many homeless people Liu Luanlin has found to be his witness, and his person's certificate is twice as many as yours." Report you as a traitor who colluded with zombies, and report you for kidnapping and smuggling people to trade with zombies. What did I tell you before, I told you to ask for evidence, I want evidence, what about you, just make such a mess for me, what do you want me to do, you teach me what to do?"
In addition to Chen Ning and the Metropolitan Governor, there were two other people in the study, one was Xiao Hu, the chief of the Metropolitan Governor's guard, and the other was the lieutenant colonel who accompanied Chen Ning. Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor was so angry, this lieutenant colonel couldn't help but lower his head, and he was already pitying Chen Ning in his heart.
However, Xiao Hu remained silent, and even looked at Chen Ning thoughtfully.
Chen Ning did not show any worried expression in the face of the angry Metropolitan Governor, still straightened his waist, held his head high and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates firmly believe that the Metropolitan Governor is free and impartial. ”
Most of the governors were going to be laughed at by Chen Ning, is this guy really upright, or does he trust himself too much?
Doesn't this kid know that he's making it difficult for him to do it now?
If there is not enough evidence, how can Liu Luanlin be taken down in a grand manner, and if he is forcibly taken, will the marshals and old men in the imperial capital be able to tolerate it? If Liu Luanlin is not taken, then wouldn't it prove that Liu Luanlin is innocent, and since Liu Luanlin is not guilty, then Chen Ning's crime is established, and Chen Ning's crime is established, so as the governor of the capital, does he mean that he wants to kill Chen Ning, a proud protégé, and kill his relatives in righteousness?
The Grand Governor stared at Chen Ning with a sneer.
Chen Ning held his head high, his hands behind his back, his feet were equally divided, and he stood in the most standard military posture, I don't know if it was because he had righteousness in his heart, or because he had blind trust in the teacher Dadudu, anyway, this guy's eyes were extraordinarily suggestive, and his handsome face was full of certainty.
The Metropolitan Governor squinted his eyes: "Judge, I want to ask where your confidence comes from?"
The implication of the Metropolitan Governor's words is clear: I didn't say that I could cover you, how confident do you have to be so confident?
Chen Ning's face still did not change, and he said calmly: "I serve the empire, and behind me is the empire and the people. Straight, so strong. ”
The Metropolitan Governor laughed angrily: "What a good one is right, get out of here." ”
"Yes!"
Chen Ning raised his hand and saluted, then turned around and strode away with a firm step.
After Chen Ning went out, the Metropolitan Governor instructed the lieutenant colonel next to him: "You go out and let Liu Luanlin and them wait for a while, and then I will make a decision." ”
"Yes!"
When the lieutenant colonel also went out, only the Metropolitan Governor and his chief guard Xiao Hu were left in the study.
The Governor picked up the teacup on the table, trying to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, but found that the teacup was empty. Seeing this, Xiao Hu next to him hurriedly picked up the teapot and helped add half a cup of tea, and asked in a low voice: "Governor, this matter is very tricky, what are you going to do?"
The Metropolitan Governor glanced at Xiao Hu: "You are very concerned about this matter?"
Xiao Hu smiled: "No, I just think Chen Ning is very good." ”
The Metropolitan Governor snorted coldly: "Stupid one, I have to go and destroy the zombies who are trading alone." If he stays and escorts the two thousand homeless people back with the Angel of Judgment warriors, even if he encounters Liu Luanlin's two garbage troops, with his strength, he will be able to protect the homeless people and defeat Liu Luanlin's two troops at the same time. In that case, with 2,000 homeless people as witnesses, can Liu Luanlin still call a fart?"
Xiao Hu couldn't help but say, "Even if Chen Ning is here, he may not be able to defeat the two forces of Black Wolf and Sky Wolf, right? The commanders of those two troops are all ninth-level generals!"
The Metropolitan Governor said lightly: "Hehe, don't underestimate Chen Ning, do you think that he and Wei Min 13 people shook the army of hundreds of thousands of zombies, killed a lord, and countless ninth-level and eighth-level zombies, and finally survived, is it really lucky?"
Xiao Hu was shocked: "Could it be that Chen Ning really killed a level ten zombie with his own hands?"
Dadu Governor: "I've checked, although I'm not sure if it's the zombie lord that Chen Ning killed by himself, but he was the one who killed the zombie lord in the end, and he was able to survive in the end, which is enough to prove his strength, do you think I will take him as a protégé for no reason?"
Xiao Hu's heart was even more shocked, could it be that the Metropolitan Governor had already discovered that Chen Ning was different, so when Chen Ning was weak, he had the foresight to accept Chen Ning as his protégé in advance?
Xiao Hu whispered: "Metropolitan Governor, now Liu Luanlin is convinced that Chen Ning is a traitor, what to do now, we have to protect Chen Ning, but how to protect it is a difficult problem." ”
The Metropolitan Governor seemed to smile: "I didn't say that I wanted to protect Chen Ning." ”
Xiao Hu smiled bitterly: "Don't play with me, my subordinates have followed the Governor for many years, and I still know your temper very well." ”
The Governor was curious: "Oh, what kind of temper do I have?"
Xiao Hu: "You are very polite and humble to outsiders, but you are very casual to your own people, so the more you scold Chen Ning, the more you treat Chen Ning as your own, so you will definitely protect Chen Ning." ”
Hearing this, the Metropolitan Governor was noncommittal, and only sighed and said: "Chen Ning is an upright warrior, he is the light of the empire, I only hope that in the future, the empire will not fail him." ”
Xiao Hu was shocked again when he heard the words of the Grand Governor, and he didn't understand why the Grand Governor said this, since Chen Ning was an upright soldier and the rising sun of the empire, then why would the empire let down Chen Ning?
The Metropolitan Governor did not explain, but only ordered: "You go out and tell Chen Ning and Liu Luanlin, let them go back and rest, I will gather all the senior officers tomorrow and give them a judgment in public." ”
Xiao Hu: "Yes!"
