Chapter 206 The Dawn Has Arrived
Chapter 206 The Dawn Has Arrived
Early morning, outside Nosti.
Fortifications have been built here to counterattack.
It was still dark, with only a faint light and a group of people walking outside the wall.
The sky is slightly bright.
Duke Richard yawned.
"Doesn't that girl want to see me? Give her the communication device." He sent a message to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said sarcastically, "He's probably asleep by now."
"Wake up when you fall asleep."
No one who contributes to any behavior deserves sleep.
After a moment's wait, a lifeless voice came from the other end, "Richard."
"Miss Jiang, I wonder what brings you here in such a hurry? What can I do for you?"
Jiang Yiran's voice was a little hoarse, "Richard, what are you doing?"
This caused panic among the entire Nosti people, and they even placed her under house arrest.
"Rebellion, Miss Jiang." He replied with a smile, "Don't be too nervous. If I really can't hold on, at most I can take you hostage. Your life won't be in danger."
"What do you mean?"
"The city is in chaos. If you don't want to get hurt by some crazy resident or be taken away by some street gang to be their mistress, then just be a good boy." Richard responded, "After all, you..."
The voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly. Jiang Yiran only heard the sound of the intercom falling to the ground, followed by some noisy footsteps.
"Confirm the target is dead, clean up the situation, and report back." After the crisp voice, the conversation was completely cut off.
Jiang Yiran was stunned.
She heard the whole thing.
A team of unknown assassins raided Nosti's suburban camp and killed Duke Richard.
"Your Majesty, Nosti has reported that the Imperial Guards have captured Richard." The subordinate reported the situation in a low voice.
The young queen spun the cup around and said calmly, "I understand."
Rather than considering whether to kill or try Richard, she knew better that the best way was to make sure that Richard no longer existed in this world.
"There's another matter related to Shenzhou," the subordinate reported. "Karl sent back a message saying a girl from Shenzhou led citizens to the Wayne Palace. Could it be..."
"How could she look like a rebel?" She smiled and put down the blue and white porcelain teacup.
The girl in the photo looks friendly. She doesn't look like she can even steal a bag of bread, let alone steal a country.
"The people from Shenzhou who are coming to take them back are almost here. They have family members, and the girl they're picking up can't be that bad."
She motioned for the waiter to come and pour tea, and calmly began to write the document to be sent out.
"Richard has been beheaded. The remaining ones are just remnants of a defeated army. They can't hold out for long."
Jiang Yiran barely had time to react when the housekeeper's gun was already pointed at her head. "Miss Jiang, I apologize for my disrespect earlier. You are still of some use."
At least, a perfect hostage.
After being distracted for a while, she finally responded, "Where is Sheng Zhou?"
"How would I know? Maybe it fell into a hole." The housekeeper didn't care.
That guy named Sheng Zhou is even more useless than Jiang Yiran. He is always making a fuss. If he gets unlucky and loses his life, he deserves it.
"you--"
The butler slapped her across the face, "*He-Man slang* Stop talking nonsense, or I'll kill you!"
Now that the news of Richard's assassination has spread, it's okay for others, but these loyal subordinates will never get any good results, so they might as well fight for themselves.
The housekeeper took her out of the house.
"See those ruins over there? Your friend must have fallen there." He pushed someone. "I understand you little girls. If you have something good, you want to show it off. If you have connections, you should show it off too. It's a pity you chose the wrong time. You deserve this bad luck."
Jiang Yiran stared at the ground silently, without saying a word.
From this point of view, it seems that she harmed Sheng Zhou.
Unless there is a miracle now, otherwise...
She saw a staggering figure slowly rising from the other side of the ruins, carrying a young boy on its back.
She wanted to move forward, but she didn't want the metal butt of the gun to hit her lower back painfully.
She curled up in pain, and when she looked up again she saw the other person's face.
"Jiang Fu?"
Jiang Fu jumped onto the ruins with some difficulty, then slid down with some difficulty and looked at her.
"Jiang Yiran?" She wiped her face.
Jiang Yiran stared at her, his eyes tinged with hope that he himself was not aware of.
Jiang Fu touched the neck of the person next to him and said, "Don't look at me. I have a wounded person here. He is more important than you."
Perhaps because he was deeply infected by the origin cells after the natural disaster, Danzhe recovered quickly. Although his consciousness was only occasionally clear, at least his life was safe now.
In this situation, it was impossible for her to take care of a wounded person, rescue a hostage, and knock down a murderer at the same time. She could only do the most important things first.
"You won't save me?"
Jiang Fu was a little annoyed. "Sister, I don't have three heads and six arms. How about you make a wish for a meteor to fall from the sky and kill him."
The butler ignored the conversation between the two and directly signaled the other loyal followers of the Duke's Mansion to take action.
Pull the trigger.
Shan Zhe had just crawled back from the King of Hell. If he was injured, he would probably fall back.
Jiang Fu was just about to raise the box in his hand to block the fatal attack, but the next moment, a hot stream descended from the sky.
On a cool autumn morning, a scorching sun suddenly appeared, and everything was almost melted by the scorching heat the moment it got close.
Jiang Fu looked at the figure behind the flames. The wind blew her hair, and she seemed more dazzling than the flames.
"Little girl, sister came just in time, didn't she?" Qin Yun turned back in a handsome manner and looked at her.
Then the expression on that face fell.
"*sigh of reunion after a long time* Why are you dizzy?"
"Before you care about him, let's solve the problem first." Jiang Fu pointed behind her.
The housekeeper, who was used as a background, was about to take Jiang Yiran away.
"Okay." Qin Yun raised her hand.
Heat waves rose from her hands, and as flames swirled around them, the butler felt that the iron lump in his hand was like a frying pan, so hot that he quickly let go.
"I give you five seconds to surrender, or..."
She snapped her fingers, and flames emerged from her fingertips, circling around her.
This was probably the first time the butler had seen such supernatural power.
He recalled the legends about sorcerers in the Wayne Empire, where the sorcerers raised by the emperor manipulated celestial phenomena to make the night brighter than the day.
How can mortals fight against legends?
The next moment, a heat wave hit him and he fainted from the heat.
"What's going on?" She looked at the person behind Jiang Fu.
Perhaps because he was uncomfortable with the high temperature, he twisted his neck slightly and continued to be unconscious.
Jiang Fu touched the face of the person beside him and said, "It's a long story."
Qin Yun waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's cut to the chase on the way to find Ke Ke."
After walking two steps, she turned around and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Qin Yun, you probably don't know me yet."
Jiang Fu was silent.
Are Danzhe’s friends so unique?
