Chapter 111: Rumors, "Gentleness" Yan'er
Chapter 111: Rumors, "Gentleness" Yan'er
Everyone continued to move forward, chatting idly.
They didn't know that the news that the White Robe Army killed thirty silver-medal assassins from the Blood Cloud Tower and forced Blood Rose, who was second on the assassin list, to retreat quickly spread throughout the underworld of Dayan, and even the Emperor of Yan knew about it.
When Emperor Yan received the news, he was worried about Jiang Fan. A silver medal killer is second only to a gold medal killer. There is also a top killer like Sword Demon Blood Rose.
The killers in the Blood Cloud Tower are divided into three levels: gold, silver and bronze, with gold being the highest, silver being the second, and bronze being the lowest.
Those who can be promoted to Silver Medal Killer must be at least second-rate experts, and have executed hundreds of assassination missions without fail.
Thirty killers of this level can come and go freely even if they encounter an army of a thousand people.
But when they encountered Jiang Fan's white-robed guards, they were defeated. Not only did no one escape, they even failed to kill a single white-robed guard.
Such a record soon made the reputation of the White Robe Guards spread throughout Daxia. It also sounded a warning to all the jianghu people: White Robe Guards! Don't mess with them!
The Jianghu was in an uproar, and the topic returned to Jiang Fan's rush to Huai'an County.
Just as Jiang Fan was rushing to Huai'an Prefecture, Chu Yan'er, who was in Huai'an County, seemed extremely relaxed. She had already figured it out. With Jiang Fan's performance, even if she had to provide for the people, she had actually already lost.
Therefore, she decided that as soon as the Huainan issue was resolved, she would directly admit defeat to the Emperor of Yan and accept the marriage.
As for the third bet, there was no need to make another one. Even if the ministers forced her to make another bet, she would stop them. Even if she had to bear a reputation of being shameless, she would accept it.
She is now looking forward to the gift Jiang Fan mentioned, and she doesn't know what kind of gift Jiang Fan will give her.
As for the trade fair in the capital, and the matter of the demon star mentioned by Ye Ren and others, they had not yet reached her ears. She didn't know.
When Jiang Fan arrived at Huai'an Prefecture, Chu Yan'er was inspecting the construction of the river embankment.
However, her face was full of frost and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. In front of her were a dozen officials tied up and kneeling in front of her. Surrounding her were a group of angry people.
Although she had decided to admit defeat, she did not ignore the disaster relief matter. After all, even if there was no bet, she would still have to do her best if the disaster relief matter fell on her.
But she never thought that there would be someone who would hold her back, harm the people behind her back, and disrupt disaster relief efforts.
Jiang Fan looked at Chu Yan'er from afar on the river bank, where she was emitting an icy aura. For a moment, he was unable to separate himself from the heroic and domineering woman in front of him.
Combined with the gentle and wise woman in his memory. At this moment, Chu Yan'er had a queenly air that was inconsistent with her age.
"Tu Sili, do you admit your guilt?" Chu Yan'er looked coldly at the middle-aged man kneeling in the middle and said in a cold voice.
"Master Chu, I know I am guilty. Please forgive me for my first offense. I will serve you till my death!"
The middle-aged man kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, his body shaking like a sieve, his eyes full of fear, and the remaining few people were also frightened and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Humph... Spare you? Do you know what crime you have committed? You withheld relief grain and fed the people dregs of porridge. Do you know what the people are doing? They are working hard on the river bank to protect the safety of you parasites."
"Moreover, not only did you withhold food, you even dared to embezzle the money for building the river embankment. Do you know that the result of doing so will only cause floods to continue next year? You don't care about the lives of the people. Even if I want to let you go, do you think the people will be willing?"
Chu Yan'er's voice was clear and resounding, and there was a strong murderous intent in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the people around immediately cheered in response.
"Kill them, kill them... Thank you, the Imperial Envoy, for taking care of us... The Imperial Envoy is wise!"
Cheers came one after another. Chu Yan'er raised her hand to stop the people from cheering and said coldly, "Take them to the river bank and behead them in public. Let their blood serve as a warning to those who dare to have evil thoughts. Building a river bank is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Whoever dares to intervene, I, Chu Yan'er, will be the first to not spare him! Kill..."
As soon as she said this, the Zhenyuan Army soldiers dragged the limp people to the river bank, raised their swords and slashed. A dozen people were beheaded immediately, and all of them were beheaded on the spot.
Jiang Fan looked at Chu Yan'er, who was full of power at this moment. Her murderous aura made him swallow his saliva unconsciously. This woman was really fierce. She acted ruthlessly and decisively, and killed corrupt officials at will.
That murderous aura and power, coupled with her unparalleled beauty, made Jiang Fan feel a different kind of beauty.
However, after killing a group of corrupt officials, Chu Yan'er frowned visibly, with a worried look on her face. She did not notice Jiang Fan and others coming over.
It was Chu Xiaolan and Chu Xiaoya beside her who saw Jiang Fan coming and reminded Chu Yan'er, and only then did she turn around and look.
The moment she saw Jiang Fan, Chu Yan'er, who had a gloomy and murderous look on her face just now, suddenly showed a sweet smile.
She didn't have the same imposing manner as before. She looked like a little girl, with a hint of childishness still on her face.
If she had not personally executed ten corrupt officials just now, Jiang Fan would not have been able to connect Chu Yan'er with the female evil star just now.
"Your Highness, how come you have time to come to my Huai'an County? Are you... here to give Yan'er a gift?" Chu Yan'er smiled gently at Jiang Fan, her eyes full of anticipation.
These days, her mind was full of Jiang Fan sending her a gift, but she didn't expect that Jiang Fan would actually come in person.
Chu Chengrui and Chu Chengxiong on the side looked at Chu Yan'er with their eyes wide open. They could not believe what they saw. This gentle woman in front of them was really their sister?
"Sister? Did you take the wrong medicine? Or have you changed your personality? This is not like you..." Chu Chengxiong said this as soon as he came up, speaking in a rather mean tone.
Chu Chengrui was about to speak out to stop her when he heard this, but Chu Yan'er's eyes were as sharp as knives. She glanced coldly at Chu Chengxiong, who was about to speak. This glance made Chu Chengxiong shrink his neck immediately.
He raised his hands repeatedly, and said with fear on his face: "Seventh Brother's fault... Sister, you... continue... continue!"
After he finished speaking, he quietly retreated behind Jiang Fan, fearing that his sister would suddenly explode and beat him up. You know, in terms of fighting strength, he is no match for his sister.
Chu Chengrui consciously stepped back, covered his mouth and glanced at his seventh brother with a smirk, then gave Chu Chengxiong a gloating look.
However, beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead, and he was secretly glad that he had kept his mouth shut. If he had been as outspoken as his seventh brother, his sister would have exploded today. The two brothers would have been unable to avoid a beating.
Jiang Fan looked at the two fearless brothers who were completely subdued by Chu Yan'er, and laughed. He was a little absent-minded when he looked at Chu Yan'er who suddenly became gentle and shy again.
