Chapter 72, The Voice of Cry for Help
"Jingle bell! Jingle bell......" Guan Xichen had just walked into the room specially prepared for him in the government building, when suddenly the smart ring he put on his wrist sounded.
"Let's connect!" Guan Xichen knew that it was Jiang Hui who had come to send a message, and opened his mouth to answer the prompt of the intelligent ring.
"Huh!" Suddenly, Jiang Hui's holographic projection was presented.
Jiang Hui is still the same, with an old face and white hair. Wearing a bright dress, but it looks even more vicissitudes.
Guan Xichen closed the door of the room, jumped to the soft bed, played with the kitten, and said to Jiang Hui: "Jiang Hui! Look, I have a meow!"
The orange kitten meows happily.
"Wow! so cute!" Jiang Hui tried to pretend that her voice was like a little girl, but it didn't sound like that.
Guan Xichen didn't mind, although he didn't think that he would really marry Jiang Hui in his heart, but after all, he had a marriage contract, and Jiang Hui was so old, it was estimated that he would die in a few years, so Guan Xichen just respected Jiang Hui as a grandmother.
"You're late! I've already ruled Xijiang City, and you don't know what just happened! It's so exciting...... Belch...... It also invigorates the dog...... I didn't occupy Xijiang City last night, but I killed a lot of people, so I'm going to make a funeral ceremony and give a ruling speech by the way...... As a result, do you know what a terrible thing happened?" Guan Xichen gushed endlessly, very excited.
Jiang Hui looked at Guan Xichen with a soft gaze like Guan Xichen's grandmother, with a faint smile on her face.
It's just that Guan Xichen didn't notice that Jiang Hui's face today was paler and haggard than before.
Jiang Hui didn't say much, basically Guan Xichen was making a speech alone. Jiang Hui is like a little fan of idols, sometimes praising a few words, and saying nothing more than "oh!", "um!", "wow!", "amazing!" and so on. However, in Jiang Hui's mind, Guan Xichen is really as tall as an idol he worships. Jiang Hui fell in love with Guan Xichen, and as time went by, as the contact deepened, her love for Guan Xichen deepened.
After talking happily for a long time, Guan Xichen yawned, then said goodbye to Jiang Hui, and slept peacefully.
……
For the next few days, Guan Xichen didn't leave the door of the room. There are Liu Zhiming, Barr and Sun Ji dealing with it outside, and Guan Xichen is not worried at all. He didn't listen to Snuya's words and learn to deal with some things in the city, but like Snuya, he went into retreat and cultivated.
Guan Xichen desperately wanted to improve his strength, and he couldn't always be under the protection of Snuya. Therefore, Guan Xichen stayed in his room while cultivating, and even the food was brought to the door and put it, so as not to disturb, he only opened the door and brought the food at the door to eat when he was hungry.
To Guan Xichen's surprise, the kitten brought by Funi actually learned to breathe like Guan Xichen, and seemed to be cultivating. For this kind of small animal behavior, Guan Xichen feels very cute. But he still didn't understand why Fni made himself swear that he had to protect the cat with her life. What's so special about this cat? Except for being cute, it doesn't seem to be any different.
Of course, when Guan Xichen was in retreat and cultivating, Jiang Hui would use the smart ring to turn on the holographic projection every day, and she didn't bother Guan Xichen, just watched silently from the side. It's as if you can feel happy as long as you stare at Guan Xichen like this. However, Guan Xichen didn't love her, so Guan Xichen didn't feel anything.
……
Guan Xichen stayed in his room for a week, not breathing fresh air outside, feeling like he was going to rot. Retreat cultivation is really a torturous thing, although Guan Xichen is a person who likes to be quiet, but staying alone in the room while cultivating still makes his mind a little dizzy.
On this day, in the early morning, Guan Xichen slept for a while, feeling that his bone meridians had made a qualitative leap. Excitedly, he rolled over, jumped off the bed at once, twisted his buttocks, bent his legs and feet a few times, and made a "click" sound at the joints. Just like in movies and TV series, when the villains are about to fight the protagonist, they will break their fingers to "rattle", which feels very awesome.
"Aha!!" Guan Xichen wanted to test his leg strength and jumped suddenly.
"Bang!!" "Ahh
Guan Xichen jumped five meters high all of a sudden, and his head hit the ceiling of the room directly, knocking the ceiling out of a pit, and of course, Guan Xichen's head also gave birth to a bag.
"Meow~" The kitten was woken up by Guan Xichen, made a friendly call at Guan Xichen, and jumped into Guan Xichen's arms at once.
"Let's go, little mung bean, I'll take you out for a walk!" Guan Xichen gave the kitten a name, called 'Little Mung Bean'.
When Guan Xichen told Jiang Hui this name, Jiang Hui smiled backwards, and an orange cat actually took the name of a little mung bean, which ...... It doesn't have anything to do with it.
However, the kitten seems to like this name, and whenever Guan Xichen calls Little Mung Bean, the kitten will obediently rub on Guan Xichen's clothes.
Guan Xichen walked out of the government building with the little mung bean in his arms, and the bright sunlight outside shone in, which made Guan Xichen's eyes slightly empty.
"Lord!!Lord, help!!
"Lord Xichen!!Lord Xichen!!"
Suddenly, Guan Xichen heard a burst of shouting outside. However, the voice was quickly silenced by a harsh reprimand.
"What's going on!?" Guan Xichen frowned, his ears were very sensitive, in fact, this voice was very far away from the government building, if it was a normal person, he would not be able to hear these cries for help at all.
Guan Xichen heard the voice of the cry for help, and knew that something must have happened, could it be that these soldiers were bullying the common people? Or did something happen when they were building the house? Is there not enough food!? Guan Xichen thought wildly, and ran quickly outside.
"Lord!!" "Lord!!" "Lord!!" "Lord!!" The soldiers standing guard outside kept saluting Guan Xichen.
Guan Xichen ignored them, and just rushed towards the source of the distress voice.
"Lord Xichen, have you rested?" At this time, Liu Zhiming suddenly hurried over and blocked in front of Guan Xichen, as if he was deliberately trying to stop Guan Xichen.
"I'm resting!What's going on outside?How do I hear someone calling for help from me!" Guan Xichen asked.
"Don't worry, my lord, it's just a bunch of rebels!" Liu Zhiming said.
"Rebels!?" Guan Xichen was surprised, after something like that happened a few days ago, would anyone still dare to rebel? How could this be?
"Yes, there are always some people who are stubborn!" Liu Zhiming said disdainfully.
"Lord!! help!!" Suddenly, a person rushed out from the road ahead and shouted at Guan Xichen.
"Smack!!" a gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced the man's chest.
Guan Xichen's eyes widened, and the person who asked for help had a blood-red chest, and he fell to the ground and lost his life.
