Chapter 16: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Can you help me untie the chains? It's really inconvenient for me to do this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
After watching everyone else leave the room, the city lord of Sifang Chuan finally couldn't wait to break the chains tied to his hands and feet, and said to Chen Yan with anticipation, I'm afraid no one likes to be tied to a bed, not to mention that people have three urgency, and it is too uncomfortable to solve it in bed.
"Don't worry, if you have anything to do, you can call the people outside the door, and they will help you untie the chain on your hand so that you can solve some problems by yourself," Chen Yan pointed to the toilet across the bed, and then spread his hands, "But I can't let you leave this room, after all, you are still a person who is about to become a checkmate in Kabane." β
"But I'm still awake! I didn't become a bloodthirsty monster Kabane, I'm still human! I want to see my men! The city lord of Sifang Chuan shouted anxiously, it seemed that he really didn't want to stay here in peace like this.
"Humph! Put away your thoughts! Do you really think that with the way you are now, when you go to the Iron City, everyone will treat you as a normal person? I'll just tell you the truth! It's your self-righteous subordinates who have suggested that I bring you here, and they don't want to stay with you now, you know? β
Chen Yan snorted coldly, glanced at the city lord's still gray-black arm, and said the truth coldly in a mocking tone.
But then again, the city lord of the Sifang River also seemed to have regarded these subordinates as a target to attract Kabane's attention, but now he has been abandoned by these subordinates in turn.
As if being struck by a thunderbolt from a sunny sky, the body of the Sifang Chuan City Lord was shocked, and the expression on his face did not know whether it was resentment or sadness, and his mouth said over and over again, "How dare they? How dare they? In this way, he was like a deflated ball, as if his spirit had leaked all at once, and he lay down on the bed softly.
Chen Yan didn't rush to taunt, just sat on the chair next to him, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the city lord with contempt in his eyes.
After a long time, a hoarse question came out of the mouth of the city lord.
"Where's the calamus? She...... What do you think? β
Chen Yan changed into a comfortable posture again, put his hands behind his head, and replied lazily: "Your worries are unnecessary, now she is on the Jiatie City connected to Kecheng, at that time, she broke through from the City Lord's Mansion very safely under the protection of Nameless, Nameless, do you remember?" It's the little girl I sent to negotiate with you, I'm afraid you can't imagine that she is a powerful warrior! Hum! Do you really underestimate my words, thinking that I just sent a little girl over to do the job? If you had stayed in the Castle Lord's Mansion at the time, and with the help of Nameless, you wouldn't be what you are now. β
Chen Yan's words were full of ridicule of the city lord, he just couldn't look down on this kind of scum who could even abandon his own daughter, especially such a beautiful daughter~
"What Master Chen Yan said is that I am indeed obsessed with the ghost for a while, maybe this is my retribution." The city lord bowed his head in shame.
"To be precise, it's the punishment given to you by the gods in heaven."
Although there are no gods in this world, Chen Yan doesn't mind continuing to use it in this feudal era, saying that he is the embodiment of the gods or the messenger of the gods, so as to consolidate his feudal rule, which is still quite effective in this era, not to mention that Chen Yan has mastered the great killing weapon of the wind sword, and it is no problem to advocate that he is the messenger of the wind god in the future.
"Ah, that's true, it's the punishment of the gods, the retribution inflicted on me." The city lord had a wry smile on his face, as if he agreed with this statement, but immediately he raised his head again, "After I survive this time, I will naturally burn a few more incense sticks for the gods, but Lord Chen Yan is so attentive to me, it shouldn't just be that he wants those researchers to study my body, right?" β
The current city lord has regained his former calmness, looking at Chen Yan's eyes revealing a trace of the wisdom of an elder, and his body is even more faintly exuding an aura that only a superior person has.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. β
Chen Yan's eyes lit up, and he put away his casual sitting posture and sat on the chair upright, looking like he was listening carefully.
The city lord secretly appreciated it in his heart, he really didn't expect Chen Yan to have such a style at such an age, he was unscrupulous when he should be public, and he was very respectful of others when he should listen quietly, and he really deserved to be the leader of the hunting people.
Thinking like this, the city lord still said quietly: "My younger brother is now holding the position of the elder by the general's side and has considerable power, and I am nominally the master of the Iron City, and I have the jurisdiction of the Iron City, Lord Chen Yan put me here to take care of me so dedicatedly, I am afraid that the main reason is to be able to hold the Iron City in your hands in your hands in my name, and you can also use me to persuade my brother in the future to make the weight of the chips in your hands greater, and go further, In the future, after Lord Chen Yan's great things are completed, you can just take the two of us as an example and reward us greatly, so as to win the hearts of the nobles who originally belonged to the general, and let them be used by you, Lord Chen Yan, I don't know if what I said is right? β
"Hahahaha! Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy, it seems that I still can't underestimate you. Chen Yan laughed and applauded, he was not surprised at all that his plan was seen through, don't think that these people who have been in the dominant position for a long time are all waste, they are just temporarily dazed by the threat of death, once they wake up, Chen Yan wants to play political tricks with them.
After clapping his hands a few times, Chen Yan still had a smile on his face, his eyes looked directly at the city lord, and he asked casually, "Then city lord, are you willing to assist in my plan?" You know, what I'm going to do is extremely rebellious in the eyes of ordinary people! β
Chen Yan never thought about winning these old fritters politically, it was too tiring, it was better to be simple and rude, after all, everyone only has one life, isn't it?
"Hehe, since the old man dares to pick out these things in front of Lord Chen Yan, he has naturally decided to do his best to help Lord Chen Yan, as long as I can do it, Lord Chen Yan will do it." The city lord heard the meaning of Chen Yan's words, so he hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
"Good! I'll tell Calamus to come and visit you right away, she's such a dutiful daughter, and I've been worried about you since last night, and I really have a really good impression of her. Chen Yan mentioned calamus at once, and his face and words were full of appreciation.
The city lord was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and when he understood the meaning of Chen Yan, he showed joy behind him, and hurriedly responded: "That's right, Calamus is indeed a good child, as her father, I have to take good care of her, and I do have a lot to say to her." β
"Good!" The smile on Chen Yan's face became even stronger.
It is a great joy in life to be able to justifiably take the Iron City into its own possession, and to be able to declare the ownership of the calamus in fact!
