Chapter 20: Unexpected Events
After the matter was settled, Calamus announced the matter when she returned to the Iron City, which naturally caused a heated discussion among everyone in the Iron City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ordinary civilians are naturally very happy about the combination of the two of them, in the eyes of these people, Chen Yan is the hero who saved them, and Calamus is the daughter of the city lord of Xianjinyi, beautiful and gentle, it corresponds to that sentence, beauty with hero, isn't it all written in the legend?
Ikoma is naturally one of them, and he has little connection with calamus now, so he naturally congratulates his benefactor on the happy event.
Of course, some people are happy and some people are worried, in the congratulations in the iron city, knowing that the matter is irreparable, Laiqi is still patrolling the carriage with an iron face, but he has neither complained nor come to trouble Chen Yan now, probably he has completely abandoned the careful thoughts in his heart, and just wants to concentrate on being a loyal samurai of the Sifang Chuan family.
Almost at the same time, the news was also received by the Kecheng side.
Although she was a little surprised by this, she didn't have the heart to be jealous of Calamus, in this era, the marriage between the noble lords was a very common thing, and she herself also had a certain understanding of Calamus, and she was positive about the fact that this kind girl could become Chen Yan's fiancée, anyway, she didn't care about what was not named, as long as she could stay by Chen Yan's side as Chen Yan's right and left hand.
Nameless felt a little regretful in her heart, and there was a feeling that her brother seemed to be robbed, but this feeling came and went quickly, and she quickly regained her strength, and continued to study the wind sword technique hard, wanting to become stronger as soon as possible to help her brother.
In this way, this impossible marriage in the original book happened under the strong mediation of the city lord of Sifang Chuan, and now he has stepped on a thief ship, he knows that he can no longer get down, so he decisively expressed his determination in this way, allowing himself and Chen Yan to become grasshoppers on a rope.
Although this is not in line with the two-sided investment method of ordinary nobles, but the Sifang River City Lord thinks that his vision is unique, and Chen Yan's downfall movement is very sure of success, so when will it be if you don't take advantage of this time to hurry up and place a bet?
I have to say that this old guy who has been in the city lord for a long time still has a certain ability and can realize the power of Chen Yan, but his subordinates don't think like this, on the contrary, as soon as they received the news, these people immediately felt that the sky had fallen, and they were extremely frightened, and they hurriedly gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and hurriedly came up with a clumsy method and quickly jumped out.
…………
"What the hell is going on with you?" Calamus frowned and looked at the dozen or so people who suddenly broke in.
Because she had already determined the relationship between herself and Chen Yan, in order to increase her understanding, she invited Chen Yan to come to Tiecheng to discuss things, wanting to hear Chen Yan's arrangements for the future, but not long after talking, several officials broke in with some people in a menacing manner, and the spearhead seemed to be facing Chen Yan.
"That's right, we want to ask Lord Chen Yan about something."
An official stepped forward, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, pointed at it and asked, "Lord Chen Yan, do you know what this thing is?" ”
"This is what I ordered my men to give to Ikoma, what's wrong?" Chen Yan said lightly.
As soon as Chen Yan confessed, the eyes of several officials flashed with the success of the conspiracy, and the official holding the bamboo tube immediately said with a very indignant look: "So, Lord Chen Yan, why is it filled with human blood!" One of my men overheard the conversation of the Kabaneri, and I didn't expect him to survive by drinking human blood, which is really sensational! When I knew about this, I could hardly believe my ears, Lord Chen Yan, how could you hide this kind of thing from us? ”
Calamus, who didn't know about this matter, looked at Chen Yan with some anxiety and worry at the moment, but Chen Yan immediately handed her a reassuring look and signaled her not to make a noise and deal with it herself.
"Kabaneri has Kabaneri virus on his body, he is already different from ordinary people, and it is not surprising that he needs to drink human blood, my Kecheng has built a blood bank to support Kabaneri, you don't need to worry about the supply of blood, as long as you let the foal drink it regularly, it's no problem, as for concealing it just to avoid disgusting you." Chen Yan replied in a moment's time.
"However, now that the matter has been revealed, there are some people in the entire Iron City who are panicking, and everyone is not willing to stay with the monster who drinks human blood, and they have asked to drive that Kabaneri away, and before I came here, there have been proposals to send that Kabaneri to Kecheng, so that the Iron City and Kecheng can be separated, so that everyone can be safe, Miss Calamus, what do you say? Do you want to ignore everyone's opinions? ”
As soon as the official finished speaking, more than a dozen people standing behind him started to heckle at the same time, demanding that Ikoma be driven to Kecheng, so that Jiatiecheng and Kecheng could be separated, and that Calamus hand over the key to the hub and be kept by the officials.
Calamus, who had never seen such a battle, was a little hesitant by what these officials said, and a girl who had never participated in politics before was no match for these old oilers, so she could only ask Chen Yan on the side for help.
As a fiancé, Chen Yan is naturally duty-bound, so he stood up immediately, glanced around at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "You say that this is the public opinion above the Iron City, I don't think so." ”
Chen Yan raised his hand and pointed at a few people in the crowd, but the eyes of the people who were pointed at were dodgy, and they didn't dare to look at Chen Yan's eyes head-on.
"I think these people seem to be your subordinates, when did you officials dare to represent everyone's public opinion when you just find a few people? I think you have a ghost in your heart! ”
"Lord Chen Yan, what do you mean by this?" The faces of several officials were a little ugly, and the person they were looking for was actually exposed by Chen Yan at once, this guy's memory is too good.
"What do I mean? What I mean is that you dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates, and dare to persecute your boss's subordinates by virtue of your identity as an elder, what kind of crime should you blame for this kind of person! ”
Chen Yan's stern voice and awe-inspiring momentum frightened these people all of a sudden, and a dozen people didn't dare to answer in front of Chen Yan, for fear that if any sentence was wrong, Chen Yan would be slashed, and the officials secretly complained in their hearts, they were not very well prepared, plus Chen Yan, a bad star, they were really unlucky.
But at this moment, a sudden situation happened.
A samurai ran in out of breath and shouted in panic as soon as he entered, "Oh no! Kabane ran into the carriage! ”
Everyone was suddenly shocked, and now the situation is serious!
