21: Child
It's a feeling that I can't describe.
But when he watched the little girl stumbling towards him, Chen Jiangnian's body squatted down almost instinctively, and then a feeling of love involuntarily grew in his heart.
"Oops......"
But the girl ran a little too fast, and she didn't pay attention to the one under her feet, and tripped over a piece of protruding ground, and with an oops, she was about to fall.
"Miss!"
The maid who was holding her just now suddenly lost her face with fright.
Seeing that the little girl was about to fall to the ground, a figure appeared in front of her, lightly caught her body that was about to trip, and then hugged her directly.
The little girl was also startled and stunned, but then her eyes widened to look at the person holding her, and she suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Daddy!"
Chen Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he reacted quickly, or he had to fall.
The ground has just been affected by the great war, and it is somewhat deformed. This time it was solid, and at least it had to break a little skin.
Supposedly, children can fall if they fall, it's not a big deal. But there was a strong panic in this body......
I looked at Jiang Qixie's memories again......
It's confirmed, this guy is a proper daughter slave.
"Daddy, you're finally back, Muyang misses you so much!"
The girl happily hugged Chen Jiangnian, and her innocent voice was full of longing.
Chen Jiangnian came back to his senses, looked at the little blushing girl, and sighed lightly in his heart.
Forget it, anyway, I have already prepared my mind before, since I borrowed Jiang Qixie's body, then I can be regarded as inheriting his cause and effect. Naturally, he should also work hard to play him well.
Subconsciously reached out and scratched the nose of his little daughter, Chen Jiangnian smiled: "Miss Daddy?" Where do you think? ”
This question made the little girl stunned for a moment, and she was a little confused. Where to think?
Chen Jiangnian stretched out his hand and gently poked the little girl's belly: "Do you miss your father?" ”
"Giggle...... Daddy, it's so itchy, it's so itchy, giggle......"
The little girl was poked by this, and immediately giggled, and while laughing, she twisted her body, trying to avoid her father's clutches.
Chen Jiangnian didn't stop, and while continuing to poke, he asked with a smile: "Muyang hasn't said it yet, is it that he misses his father?" ”
"Giggles, it's my belly that misses my daddy...... Cluck...... I miss my daddy......"
The little girl giggled and couldn't catch her breath.
The interaction between the father and daughter made the surrounding government soldiers and the maids in the rear see it, and they all couldn't help but smile, and those who originally came over to salute also paused, and couldn't bear to interrupt the long-lost warmth of the father and daughter.
After a long while, Chen Jiangnian withdrew his claws, and the little girl gasped for breath, her little face was flushed, but her big eyes were very bright, looking at Chen Jiangnian's eyes, she became more and more attached.
"See the Castle Lord."
Seeing that the interaction between the father and daughter had come to an end for the time being, the people around him came over and knelt on one knee to salute.
Chen Jiangnian held Muyang in one hand, looked around, exhaled lightly in his heart, and then nodded and said, "This time I did a very good job, and I didn't disappoint this king...... Okay, there's a lot going on, let's go down and get busy. Count the losses and sacrifices, and then talk about it. ”
"Yes."
The government army replied loudly, and then turned to get busy.
The enemy has been killed, but the damage has already been done, and so many people have died, so naturally it needs to be dealt with.
"Pink."
Chen Jiangnian looked at the maid who was holding Muyang just now.
The maid hurriedly walked over: "Master." ”
"You take a few government troops, go to the city garrison, and pick up the girl back."
Taohong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
After the salute, he left.
Chen Jiangnian hugged Muyang and walked inside......
Over there, there's a maid holding another daughter.
"Sir."
"I've seen the ...... of the castle lord"
The maid saluted excitedly, and the old man beside her bowed slightly, slumping his body.
"Sui Rong, during this time, I'm sorry for you."
Chen Jiangnian has a complete memory of Jiang but evil, so he naturally knows the identity of the old man. I also know the reason why he stayed in the City Lord's Mansion.
"The city lord is ...... heavy"
The old man said with some excitement on his face.
Chen Jiangnian looked at him, then patted him on the shoulder and nodded.
Don't look at the old man's age, he looks much older than him, but through Jiang Qixie's memory, he knows it...... In fact, Jiang Qievil was much older than the old man.
It's just that Jiang Qievil is a spiritual realm martial artist, and his longevity has reached a thousand years. He is now 800 years old, but he will not age sharply until the end of his 900-year-old life. That's why it looks so young.
And although this Long Suirong was also a spiritual realm monk back then, he was seriously injured like him when he was besieged back then, and his injuries were worse than Jiang Qi's, and he fell directly into the realm, and Shouyuan suffered a great loss, so he was so old.
"Castle Lord, your wounded ......"
Long Suirong opened his mouth with some hesitation, looking at Chen Jiangnian's gaze, with some expectation.
Chen Jiangnian thought about it, but he knew what he wanted to ask, and then said: "My injuries have healed, but it is not because of the flesh and blood of gods and demons, but because there is another opportunity." ”
These words made Long Suirong slightly stunned, and then his eyes were a little gloomy, but he still smiled and said: "That's good, congratulations to the city lord......"
In fact, just now, when Chen Jiangnian easily killed two Spirit Realm martial artists in the blink of an eye, he should have known that he must have a great opportunity......
"But although the flesh and blood of gods and demons are not, I will also find a way to get your injuries. With me, you can rest assured. ”
Chen Jiangnian's next words made Long Suirong tremble slightly, then took a deep breath, smiled, looked at Chen Jiangnian and nodded.
Only then did Chen Jiangnian look at the second daughter in the arms of the maid Liu Lu......
The second daughter has never woken up since she was seriously injured and in a coma.
Because of proper care, he didn't look thin, but his face was still much paler than Muyang in his arms, and his eyes were closed, as if he was sleeping.
Seeing these two daughters, Chen Jiangnian felt another distress in his heart.
And in addition to the distress, there is also an indescribable anger and hatred.
This made Chen Jiangnian slightly stunned.
"Xiyue, Xiyue, wake up, Daddy is back!"
Muyang suddenly shouted.
Chen Jiangnian came back to his senses, and Liu Lu and Long Suirong next to him turned their heads slightly gloomily, and they couldn't bear to look at this scene.
Muyang and Xiyue have always had a good relationship, after all, they grew up together since childhood. In the past, at home, the two sisters' crisp and happy laughter was everywhere.
But that day was it...... After that day, Jiang was seriously injured and went into retreat to recuperate. Xiyue was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The huge City Lord's Mansion suddenly fell into a depression. The girl carried the burden alone, not only to maintain the inner government, but also to deal with those things in the city externally, physically and mentally exhausted......
And just like that, the laughter at home disappeared. The lonely Mu Yang lingered all day long in front of the door of Jiang Qixi's retreat and the sickbed of Xiyue, who was in a coma and seriously injured, and always held the old doll that the lady made for her in her arms......
She doesn't cry or make trouble, but occasionally she can't help but ask, 'When will Daddy come out?' ''When will Xiyue wake up?'' 'Something like that. But this kind of sensibility makes people's hearts hurt like being pricked by needles.
Now, she spoke again, and such a voice full of innocence and expectation was uncomfortable to hear.
Liu Lu couldn't help but shed tears, tilted his head sideways, and didn't dare to look at her.
After screaming a few times, she didn't see Xiyue wake up, Muyang's eyes showed disappointment, she looked at Chen Jiangnian puzzled and asked, "Daddy, my aunt told me that Daddy is back, and Xiyue will wake up...... But why haven't you woken up yet? ”
Chen Jiangnian felt this atmosphere, coupled with the instinct of his body, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, and after taking a deep breath, he smiled and scratched Muyang's nose and said, "Auntie is right, Daddy is back, Xiyue will wake up." But I'll have to wait a while, Daddy will wake her up and let her sleep a little longer, okay? ”
Mu Yang's somewhat dim eyes suddenly brightened: "Really? ”
"When did Daddy cheat on Muyang?"
"Yay! Great! Daddy is back, and Xiyue is going to wake up! I'm going to sleep with Daddy and Xiyue tonight! ”
Mu Yang suddenly cheered.
The world of children is so simple and easy to satisfy. For Muyang, when Daddy comes back and Xiyue wakes up, it is the best thing in the world.
"Let's take the second lady back to the room first."
Chen Jiangnian said to Liu Lu.
"Yes."
Liu Lu gently wiped her tears and hurriedly answered.
Only then did he hold Xiyue and turn around and walk towards the room.
"Brother Jiang!"
At this moment, a crisp call sounded. Chen Jiangnian turned his head, but he saw Luo Junlan coming back with a vote of government troops.
"Auntie."
Muyang also saw Luo Junlan and immediately shouted happily.
Seeing that Muyang was fine, Luo Junlan suddenly cried with joy, she ran to her, hugged Muyang, and murmured: "It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay."
She laughed and cried, and kept touching Muyang's little face, as if to see if she was hurt.
Chen Jiangnian was standing next to him, and when Luo Junlan ran closer, he smelled a faint fragrance, which made him look slightly embarrassed.
It's okay to face children, but it's okay to face Jiang Qixie, a sister-in-law who has some special thoughts about him...... Chen Jiangnian was still a little embarrassed.
After coughing dryly, Chen Jiangnian simply handed Muyang to Luo Junlan, Luo Junlan hurriedly caught the child, and then looked at Chen Jiangnian.
After watching it for a while, Chen Jiangnian was still a little inexplicable, but Luo Junlan himself blushed, and called again: "Big brother......"
Chen Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, then nodded with an embarrassed smile.
Originally, according to his identity, Jiang Qievil was Luo Junlan's brother-in-law. But Luo Junlan never called him that, only called him Brother Jiang......
From this point of view, the thoughts in this Nizi's heart are simply obvious......
Thinking in his heart, Chen Jiangnian looked at the army behind Luo Junlan.
"City Lord."
He Chao came back with Luo Junlan, and when he saw Chen Jiangnian at this moment, he immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.
"Well, get up."
Chen Jiangnian nodded, and then his gaze fell on the back......
Where, several government soldiers were supporting a young man who had passed out in a coma.
This is Jiang Qixie's righteous son...... Jiang Qingyun?
Chen Jiangnian looked.
Jiang Qingyun is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his appearance is handsome, but at the moment he is in a coma, his face is pale, and he is wearing a thin white shirt.
Chen Jiangnian frowned, although he had a memory, but what exactly caused such a big conflict this time, Chen Jiangnian didn't know. I haven't had time to ask yet.
However, I also saw some just now, and I knew that my righteous son was seriously injured now, and nine times out of ten it was related to Lingchan Peak.
At this moment, he didn't ask much, and said directly: "Help the son back to the room first." Sui Rong, please take a look. ”
"Yes."
The government army supporting Jiang Qingyun replied, and Long Suirong behind him also answered. Then Long Suirong and a few government soldiers left with Jiang Qingyun.
"City Lord, the defenders of the city have all been taken."
He Chao bowed and said.
This is asking for yourself.
Chen Jiangnian thought for a while before saying, "Let's hold it for the time being, send people out to appease the people in the city first, don't scare them." ”
Flying all the way just now, he found that the people in the city were boiling, and it seemed that they were frightened because of the great battle here.
Since he is the lord of the city, this must always be done.
Unexpectedly, the first order was this, He Chao was stunned for a moment, but he still reacted quickly: "Yes." ”
After speaking, he got up and said a few words on the side of the government army, and suddenly a team of government troops ran out.
"Big brother, you don't know what's going on, do you?"
When Chen Jiangnian was thinking about where to inquire about the situation, Luo Junlan walked to his side with Muyang in his arms and asked softly.
Chen Jiangnian was stunned and turned his head to look.
saw that Luo Junlan had already become a gentle and watery appearance at this moment. When Chen Jiangnian looked at her in surprise, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears, buried her head, her tone was a little anxious, and she looked a little embarrassed: "Big brother, you, why are you looking at your little sister like this?" ……”
Chen Jiangnian couldn't help but recall in his mind that he was under the persecution of Lingchan Peak just now, and he drank the words 'Secret Guard Listen to Orders' with a cold face...... Compare ...... again
Chen Jiangnian coughed embarrassedly, and then said, "It's a little guessy, but it's not very clear...... I'm tired of Junlan to solve my brother's doubts. ”
Luo Junlan's face was slightly red, and he gasped for a few breaths in his heart, suppressing a trace of shyness in his heart...... I was already very careful, but I didn't expect to let Brother Jiang see the fierce appearance he had just now...... It is estimated that the eldest brother was also frightened.
The eldest brother must still like a gentle woman like his sister, and he must not like his own temperament......
Luo Junlan thought a little gloomily in his heart.
But the mouth said, "That's the ......."
At the moment, Luo Junlan will go through the things one by one. Including Lingchanfeng's son getting married, Jiang Qingyun being accused of murder, and then to the secret visit of the secret guard, to today, Lingchanfeng wants to behead Jiang Qingyun, but in fact, it is to let her disperse the government army, the purpose is Muyang and Xiyue...... Wait a minute.
She thought clearly, detailed and appropriate, and soon, she was done. Chen Jiangnian, then suddenly realized what happened.
"Although there are not many people who know about the situation of Muyang and Xiyue, there are also many people...... I don't know if they were sent by the eldest prince or the second prince......"
Luo Junlan finally said so.
Chen Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, and then said, "This shouldn't be difficult to check. ”
Then, he let out a breath in his heart.
Jiang is evil, and there are really a lot of troubles. It even involves the seizure of heirs...... watched so many movies and TV series in his previous life, where did Chen Jiangnian not know that this is the most troublesome of all the troubles?
However, this is the cause and effect of Jiang Qixie, and if he takes it, he is naturally obliged to solve it.
"The position of the Realm Lord?"
Thinking of the position of the realm lord, Chen Jiangnian's eyes flickered slightly, but in his mind, he remembered some words of his dear friends...... A legend about the position of the Lord of the Realm.
He thought for a moment and exhaled lightly.
Without thinking deeply for the time being, he looked at Luo Junlan and thought that this Nizi had also been frightened for the past year. Jiang Qievil left, and the entire City Lord's Mansion was probably supported by her. I couldn't help but feel some admiration in my heart: "I've worked hard for you this year." But from now on, you can rest assured, everything is with me. ”
A sentence that everything has me, made Luo Junlan directly stupid. After a long time, her face was hot, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "Well......"
I was tired for nearly a year, and I couldn't sleep at night. Today, she got the sentence 'everything has me', and she feels that her hard work and dedication for more than a year have been rewarded.
Chen Jiangnian didn't say anything more, turned around directly and said, "Go to the dungeon." ”
"Yes."
Under the leadership of the government army, they surrounded this Chen Jiangnian and went to the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion......
