Chapter 240: The Great Good Deed Interrupted

readx;

Outside, Du Chen briefly explained Xueni's physical condition to Potter, and her face was always gloomy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The feeling in my heart is like the master who stole the door in his previous life is seriously ill and is about to die.

There seemed to be a big stone blocked in his heart, and Potter explained Xue Ni's medical history to Du Chen in a low voice, but these didn't make much sense, one was that Du Chen couldn't understand the names of those strange diseases, and the other was that Xue Ni's body and bones had already collapsed after being ill for many years, if it weren't for her own high-level fighting spirit and profound medical skills, I'm afraid it would have been ...... In short, Xue Ni's situation is that the days are coming to an end, and the inescapable law of birth, old age, sickness and death, all things in heaven and earth, has come to Xue Ni's head.

After a while, Xueni's coughing sound came from the secret room, and Potter hurriedly went in to take care of it, Du Chen did not go in, but asked in a low voice about the deboning that had just arrived. "Is there anything I can do to prolong my life?"

Bruise smiled helplessly, "Young Master, you are not far from the sixth-level Fighting God, you should already understand that the end of the Fighting God Road is immortality, and before reaching the end of the Fighting God Road, no one can live forever!" He sighed in frustration, "I will die, young master, so will you, and even the God Emperor Prince, who was rumored to have integrated the five elements and led the Holy Alliance to win the Fallen God War, didn't the God Emperor Prince, who died after the Falling God War?"

"Then after death, she will become an undead, and I will use a holy weapon to transform her?" Du Chen said, and immediately refuted this hypothesis himself-in fact, it is extremely harsh for people to become undead when they die--In fact, except for the heaven-given plant body, no one is sure that they will become an undead after death, so as to prolong the time of life. Otherwise, if everyone can become undead after death, then the three continents will already be the world of undead, and Philip will not have to bother to create an army of undead, and the old grandmothers will transform the undead in order to suppress the Kuban back then, and there is no need to use many botanical generals to cast spells together.

According to the theory of the god of fighting, Xue Ni is a metal-based god of fighting, and the direct condition for becoming an undead - the full supply of plant elements of the god of fighting, after her death, she does not even have a chance to become an undead!

And the undead are not immortal, they are just energy bodies, and they will die one day!

"Alas, eternal life is immortal...... What's the point?" Du Chen suddenly shook his head and sighed.

Bone Peeling Qi said: "Young Master, how can immortality be meaningless? For many years, what the fighting gods of the past generations have pursued is immortality!"

Du Chen didn't explain, this sentence, I don't understand it, no one understands it, only Du Chen himself can experience that feeling - I won't die, but my relatives will die...... This is the sorrow of the immortal!

After a night in the library, Chernie's health improved the next day, and she recovered quickly under Potter's care, but it seemed that Chernie's illness was worse than before.

Du Chen, who was in a heavy mood, returned to the Belks, but then got a good piece of good news, last night's son-in-law meeting didn't happen for some reason, and in the end no one was able to marry Flinda, and Betty and Somya left Doushen Island after that, and they didn't even say hello to Du Chen, as if they had forgotten him as a person!

Du Chen Daqi, hey, I haven't made up my sweetheart yet, why did you leave!?

He didn't know that a wonderful misunderstanding had happened, and this wonderful misunderstanding was still continuing, and in the future, what more wonderful consequences would it cause, Du Chen would not know it now!

However, being able to get rid of the entanglement of the two families, Du Chen is still very happy!

But he hadn't been happy for long, and his happy mood was completely extinguished by a letter...... The letter was not sent by mail, but was delivered to their lord by the hand of an official of the Newin Territory!

At this moment, the official trembled and frightened under Du Chen's angry eyes, "Lord, lord, you are not mistaken, your territory has indeed become like this!"

"Damn!" After reading the situation explained in the letter, Du Chen, who has always been gentle and elegant to outsiders and has a kind and charitable image, couldn't help but curse. Because the first words of the letter are...... Your lordship, your capital, Port Newin, which is home to more than half of the population of your territory, has been sacked, killing more than a thousand civilians, wounding countless others, and ...... The economy in Hong Kong, which had just improved somewhat, was beaten back to its original shape, and it was not even as good as it was before the great floods!

In other words, Du Chen spared no expense to throw out most of the hundreds of thousands of gold coins for the civilians along the Newin River!

To put it more simply, Du Chen's super good deed of 'giving 300,000 civilians a happy life' was almost cut off by someone and stillborn!

The world is big, and Du Chen, who has the greatest good deeds, how can he not be angry!?

Stealing a glance at Du Chen's angry face, the official explained in a low voice: "Your Excellency, as you know, there have always been three major problems along the Newin River - banditry, flooding, and fish-man harassment, this time, it is a large number of fish-people who have ransacked your capital......

"That's enough!" Du Chen snapped up and said angrily: "What is the army in the territory doing? What is the Imperial Navy doing?Why can a stupid fishman break through the coastal defense fortress of Port Newin and easily sack the city!?

The officials were too frightened to continue talking, although Du Chen was famous, but it was for the common people, the lord's attitude towards the officials was extremely harsh, and it could even be said to be harsh, after Du Chen executed dozens of corrupt officials at one time, and issued a decree that 'those who embezzle more than ten gold coins will be killed', he has an extra nickname in the hearts of officials - the most unnoble butcher lord!

Du Chen suppressed his anger, and when he saw that this official was not a cronie from a charitable foundation, he said impatiently: "What the hell is going on, you explain it to me clearly!"

The official lowered his head and whispered: "Ten days ago, countless fishmen took advantage of their ability to hide their aura to sneak into the vicinity of the harbor, and suddenly attacked, just when the army guarding the harbor noticed the sneak attack of the Sea Clan, and when they were about to defend, they found ......" He looked embarrassed.

"What did you find?" Du Chen said impatiently.

"Found ...... The bandits in your territory have already infiltrated the city, joined forces with the fishmen, and controlled the coastal defense fortress, and as a result, Newinn Harbor was lost within half an hour!" After a pause, while peeking at Du Chen's face, he quickly added: "However, your army is under our command, adhering to the principle that your lives are the heaviest, abandoning those important buildings such as gold banks to protect civilians and retreat, so this time only less than a thousand civilians were killed......

Du Chen laughed angrily at the official's addition, a typical shirk of responsibility and taking the opportunity to take credit! However, if what the official said is true, then the matter is really not ordinary.

"I understand the situation of the infestation of fishmen, but those beasts used to raid the coastal villages at most, and catch some humans as rations, but why did they attack the port on a large scale this time, did the Sea Clan want to declare war on the Lanning Empire? Also, what about the Imperial Navy? The other lords have nothing to do with themselves, and it is forgivable not to send troops to support, but why didn't the Imperial Navy protect my territory!? Have you found out all this?"

The official was dumbfounded by the question, "This, this, we are investigating!" Seeing Du Chen's unhappy face, he hurriedly added: "But the Imperial Navy has given an explanation-they also want to protect the civilians of Newinn Harbor, but His Majesty Balgena has adopted a policy of 'clearing the wilderness' against the southern fish-man attacks, so there are not many naval warships near your territory at all, and by the time the navy's support fleet arrived, the fish-men had already retreated......"

"Is that really the case? Hmph! What is the attitude of His Majesty Balgener to this incident?"

"Well, my lord, the fish-men have been attacking and harassing for a long time, and this time they colluded with the bandits on land, although they brought great harm, but Your Majesty can only appease and appease and order the Imperial Navy to strengthen the protection near Newinn Harbor......" His words fell into Du Chen's ears and became two other meanings - the first is that the fish-people have been harassing the southern part of the empire for more than ten years, if there is really a way to solve it, His Majesty Balgena would have solved it a long time ago.

Second, you Francis is the master along the Newin River, the word lord is not for you to show off, as a lord, you have to be responsible for the people of the territory, but this time things are indeed a little strange, let it go, the empire will give you enough support!

Du Chen knew that he couldn't ask for more information from the officials--the old bureaucrats in these territories were all proficient in their ability to spend all their time drinking, but when it came to military and political affairs, they were at a level where they could not cause trouble!

"Have you discussed how to solve this matter?" and what are your opinions?" Du Chen asked again.

"I, we hope that you will personally rush back to the territory to deal with this matter, after all, the loss this time is very large, and the authority required to deal with it is also very large, unless you are here, otherwise we will encounter a lot of inconvenience in dealing with it!" Although the words are reasonable, no matter how you listen to it, it still seems to be throwing the mess to Du Chen.

"Well, I know, you can rush back to the territory, and I will personally deal with this matter......"

After sending the officials away, Du Chen couldn't help but scold: "Fuck, colluding with inland bandits to attack human cities, can a beast-like fishman do such a thing!?" He turned to the door and shouted: "Remove the bones, bring Goth, who is doing good deeds, I want to ask, how does he, the prince of the Sea Clan, explain the fact that the fish people of the Sea Clan demolished Lao Tzu's capital!"
