Chapter 602: The City Lord Lifts the Siege
The captain, it's her, dressed in such tatters, smelling all over, not to say that she is not a beggar. I am pregnant and I don't see a man with me, and I see, maybe she is still a widow! The soldier's low voice sounded in his ears, interrupting Yan Xi's thoughts, he subconsciously frowned, and the momentum around him rose sharply.
The soldier couldn't help but shudder, but fortunately, it was only a momentary thing, and Yan Xi quickly returned to that timid appearance, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
Gaffe.
Yan Xi lowered his eyelids to hide the dark tide in his eyes. He didn't even know why he was so angry when he heard the other party insult Chi Wan.
"Where can there be such a good-looking widow, I think you are blind." The captain who had just arrived slapped the soldier on the head.
This unexpected move made Chi Wan a little surprised, this captain would actually help herself speak? But when she raised her eyes, she saw the captain's blazing eyes, looking at her body wantonly, and the anger brought by a sense of humiliation swept through her heart, and she snorted coldly, "Don't look at me like this with your eyes, do you want to let me in?" If you don't let in, forget it. ”
She thought about it, when she encountered such a scum in the city, even if she slept in the wild tonight, she would not suffer this crime. It's not just a place to go to Lincheng, it's a big deal to go farther.
Unexpectedly, the captain was bold and grabbed Chi Wan's hand, "If you make me comfortable for a night, I'll let you in, how about it?" ”
Chi Wan didn't think about it, and slapped it directly, "The toad wants to eat swan meat." ”
She used all her strength this time, and the back of the captain's hand quickly turned red.
Although he is only a captain, but because he controls the entry and exit of the city gate, whether it is people from the city or from outside, they will give him three points of courtesy, but now Chi Wan is so faceless, the captain suddenly felt offended, and ordered angrily, "Come on, tie me back!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several people immediately surrounded him.
"Are you deceitful too much?" Yan Xi looked around with cold eyes, his mature tone was not like a child at all, it was the first time for Chi Wan to hear him speak like this, and she glanced at him with some surprise.
Before she could react, Yan Xi stepped forward and kicked the captain in the stomach, and he also took the opportunity to drug under the blind corner.
In order not to reveal his identity, Yan Xi actually didn't go all out, as long as he was a person with a little skill, he could dodge. The captain would be kicked squarely, completely because he underestimated Yan Xi, he never imagined that a young man who was not at all inconspicuous could burst out with such great power.
He fell to the ground in pain, holding his stomach and screaming, "Come on, arrest me!" Grab it! ”
"What are you doing to bully a child?" Chi Wan's brows were nervous, she hugged Yan Xi tightly, followed along the way, and could stand up at critical moments and have the courage to protect herself, these actions have made Chi Wan completely treat Yan Xi as her own.
Chi Wan's nerves were tense, and she watched those people approaching step by step, and just as she was about to make a move, a voice with a strong confidence suddenly sounded, "Stop!" What are you doing?! ”
All the people subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, the person who came was wearing plain clothes, but riding on a fine jujube red horse, with stiff facial features, and righteousness between his eyebrows and eyes, maybe it was a woman's sixth sense, Chi Wan felt that this time there was help.
Yan Xi pouted silently, and put down the fist that had been prepared a long time ago, he already wanted to ignore it and show off his skills in front of Chi Wan, but he didn't expect that this kind of heroic opportunity to save beauty was snatched away by others, this woman's luck is really good.
It's just that, but it can also let him continue to hide by the other party's side, this game, he doesn't want to end so soon.
That's right, in Yan Xi's heart, this escape from nine deaths and one life is just a game directed and acted by him. He straightened his expression and showed a panicked expression at the right time, as if he was a frightened child.
After seeing the appearance of the person who came clearly, the soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, "City Lord! ”
The captain who was lying on the ground couldn't help but shrink back, and he didn't dare to look at the other party as a thief.
"What are you doing? Robbing people's daughters? The city lord rolled over from the horse, reprimanded a few people with a serious face, and then walked to Chi Wan's side and said with concern, "Girl, are you okay?" How did they just embarrass you? You tell me directly, and I'll call the shots for you. ”
The city lord's apologetic smile made Chi Wan's heart feel better, how could such a good city lord bring out such a person? It's a shame.
"It's okay, but just now I had to say that I was a beggar and asked me to pay the toll, and the person known as the captain did something to me, and then the city lord you came, in fact, there is nothing." Chi Wan said nothing, but in just a few words, she explained what happened clearly.
She has always been a person who has revenge, and she is most tired of these bullying guys, and now she is standing here well, but if the city lord does not come in time, what will the situation be?
"It turns out that you are carrying me behind your back, you are all doing these things, come here, pull down and play twenty boards by yourself, you don't have to do all of them, get me home." The majestic eyes of the city lord looked around, making those who wanted to ask for mercy shut their mouths in a sneer.
As his order fell, a group of soldiers who followed him immediately pulled these people to the side, as if they were about to be executed in public.
There was a wail in her ears, and Chi Wan was stunned that she didn't even raise her eyelids, she deserved it, good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded. These people didn't know how many ordinary people they had oppressed before.
"The girl is frightened, come with me into the city." The city lord made a gesture of please, and Ji Wan and Yan Xi exchanged a look and followed behind each other.
"Just now...... Thank you, Lord. ”
The city lord shook his head with a smile, "What a big deal, in the final analysis, it is my responsibility, to let such a scum defend the city, if I hadn't inspected and seen it today, I am afraid that the girl will have to suffer a lot." ”
After these words, Chi Wan suddenly felt good, she suddenly thought of the mutant people, I don't know when those people will come here, no matter what the city lord said, he also relieved her siege, reminding him to take more precautions, which can be regarded as a thankful retribution.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she wanted to speak, a guard rode a red horse to this side.
"City Lord." The guard knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.
The clothes worn by this guard were different from those soldiers just now, and he looked like a henchman of the city lord. He looked at Chi Wan and Yan Xi again and again.
Chi Wan stopped at the right time and distanced herself from the city lord.
The guard attached himself to the city lord's ear, not knowing what to say, but the city lord's face suddenly sank.
"Girl, I still have some things, so I won't accompany you, please take care of yourself." The city lord seemed to remember something again, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and stuffed it into Chi Wan's hand without saying anything, "You can keep this money well, and it can be regarded as a reparation for your previous crimes." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly got on the horse and left with the guards, what Chi Wan wanted to say had to hold back in his stomach, looking at the back of the city lord leaving, he sighed helplessly, "I haven't had time to tell him yet, what if those people call?" ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Yan Xi also knew that Chi Wan was talking about those mutants, and he comforted, "Don't worry, it's already far away from here, and those people won't come over for a while." ”
Looking down at the well-behaved and lovely Yan Xi, Chi Wan felt more and more moved, she half-squatted down and looked at Yan Xi at eye level, "Yan Xi, thank you, thank you for saving me desperately just now, but next time, if this kind of thing happens again, you must not be impulsive again, remember, you have to run, the farther you run, the better." ”
"Sister, don't you want me anymore?" Yan Xi asked pitifully, like a discarded little milk dog.
With such a look, where can Chi Wan withstand it? She shook her head busily, "I just hope you're okay." "How can this kid be cranky? I'm just worried about him.
"As long as my sister doesn't abandon me, I will definitely listen to my sister in the future. I just couldn't get used to seeing those people bullying my sister just now. Yan Xi plunged into Chi Wan's arms, and where Chi Wan couldn't see, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
I almost thought that the prey was going to run away, idiot, if I don't save you, do you have to wait for the baby in your belly to die?
"Sister, we're sweaty now, let's find a place to clean up first, everyone is looking at us." Yan Xi let go of Chi Wan and said a little embarrassed. The boy's cheeks were also stained with a blush of shame.
Hearing this, Chi Wan paid attention to her surroundings, and sure enough, those people were all looking at them. She straightened up and patted the dust off her clothes.
It's really time to clean up, after all these days, she can't stand it anymore.
Originally, they were still worried about what they should do if they had no money, but they didn't expect the city lord to give them silver, which solved their urgent needs.
She took Yan Xi to find an inn that looked fairly clean, and she didn't know if she had seen too many dusty travelers, but the shopkeeper here didn't care about their shabby clothes, and greeted them politely, "Two guest officers, stay in the hotel or eat?" ”
"Let's have a table of good food first, and then bring us two upper rooms." With money in her hand, Chi Wan became more confident even when she spoke.
"Okay." After the shopkeeper agreed, he went to work and opened it.
Chi Wan and Yan Xi found a place to sit down at random, and soon, the dishes came up.
