Chapter 1866: Troublemaking
Looking at the man's back gradually disappearing, Harijula took a deep breath and shook her head involuntarily.
"Well, it's understandable that he is a little angry because his wife has suffered such an injustice." Harijula comforted himself. When his eyes fell on those who were controlled, his anger, which had subsided a little, recurred.
If it weren't for these people, she wouldn't have been angry with Chen Changli!
"Lock them up first, and then make a decision after everything is clear."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The secret guards received the order and were about to take those people away. Seeing that they would inevitably go to jail, several of them gave up on themselves and yelled angrily at Harijula.
"Harijula, you will be punished for not respecting the Immortal Goddess. You are not worthy of being king."
Harijula's eyes turned cold. Those people were dragged away with their mouths covered. She stared at the direction where they disappeared. Anger gradually emerged in her eyes: "What is the Immortal Goddess? I would like to meet her!"
Chen Changli brought Wan Shufang back to his residence. Harijula also found Yanran and brought her back. After some investigation, Yanran gently tucked in Wan Shufang under the worried gaze of Chen Changli.
"It's nothing, she was just drugged. She will wake up soon after the drug wears off."
Yanran's words made Chen Changli feel relieved. He finally put down his worries. He walked to Wan Shufang's bed and held her hand. "Shufang, I will never let those people hurt you again."
Chen Changli had a serious expression on his face. The moment he found out that Wan Shufang was in trouble, he felt as if the sky had fallen. After finally escaping danger, he was silently planning in his mind how to make those who bullied Wan Shufang pay the price.
Yanran was thinking about the treasure. Neither of them spoke. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became quiet until Harijula pushed the door open and broke the silence.
Harijula saw Yanran and Chen Changli looking at her. She coughed uncomfortably and said, "I have locked up those people, but the mayor has not been found yet. We still don't know the details of this town."
"And that so-called Immortal Goddess. Because of her, the people are almost rebelling and don't listen to my orders at all. I am so angry."
After complaining, Harijula felt dry in the mouth and poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. Her words also made the two people in the room serious.
As if he remembered something, Chen Changli's expression softened and he spoke first.
"It's okay, Harijula, arrange for people to surround the town. As long as he is still in this town, he can't escape. I will personally avenge Shufang."
Hearing this, Harijula nodded slightly. There was no better way at the moment, so she immediately went out to make arrangements. Yanran also found an excuse to leave first, leaving the space to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
The room fell silent again. Chen Changli sat beside Wan Shufang, quietly waiting for her to wake up. He waited until the evening.
When Harijula came to invite Chen Changli to dinner for the third time and was rejected again, Wan Shufang slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she bumped into Chen Changli's eyes full of worry.
"Chen Changli..."
"Shufang, you're finally awake. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." He quickly stood up, poured a glass of water, brought it to Wan Shufang's mouth, and patiently fed her.
Putting down the cup, Chen Changli looked Wan Shufang up and down several times, making sure that she was fine before he began to ask questions.
"Shufang, what's going on?"
Seeing the concern in his eyes, Wan Shufang was touched. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Harjula should have told you that I went to treat the mayor's wife, but when I followed the mayor into the house, I did not see the sick wife."
"I realized something was wrong, but it was too late. I fainted and woke up... now. Where did you find me?"
Wan Shufang was a little curious. Logically speaking, the mayor had gone to great lengths to kidnap her, so it was impossible for Chen Changli to find her so easily and rescue her safely.
Wan Shufang suddenly grabbed Chen Changli's hand, and asked with concern, "Chen Changli, are you hurt? Did he embarrass you?"
Seeing Wan Shufang was anxious, Chen Changli did not bother to think too much and quickly comforted her: "I'm fine, Shufang, I didn't save you from the mayor."
"At the sacrificial ceremony, those people were escorting an iron cage. I saw someone inside and instinctively thought it was you, so I went to stop those people."
Chen Changli recounted the process of rescuing people, including the fact that Harijula had locked people up and that the mayor was missing. After hearing this, Wan Shufang felt a headache.
He rubbed his eyebrows and was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion outside. The two looked at each other. Wan Shufang got off the bed and walked to the door with Chen Changli. In this troubled time, they had to be extremely cautious.
When he opened the door, he bumped into Harijula who was running in a hurry.
"Harijula."
"Wan Shufang, you're awake! That's great. There's a bunch of people gathered at the door making trouble. I was just about to go there." After Harijula said this, he walked straight to the door at the speed of light.
Seeing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang hurried over, only to see a group of people gathered at the gate, shouting and cursing, but they were all demanding an explanation, wanting Harijula to release those people and hand over Wan Shufang.
"Your Majesty, this town still relies on the protection of the Goddess of Longevity, and the sacrificial ceremony must continue."
"Release the townspeople and hand over the Han woman."
"Release the townspeople and hand over the Han woman."
Their shouts were louder than the last, almost shattering the eardrums. Harijula covered his ears, his eyes turned cold and he shouted, "How dare you! Who allowed you to gather here and cause trouble?"
"Those people offended me and showed no respect for their superiors. They deserve to be arrested. Go back immediately. I will not pursue your charges..."
Harijula ordered everyone to go back. Seeing that she was unwilling to release the people, the people suddenly became agitated. In the panic, someone shouted something.
"Fellow villagers, the sacrifice cannot continue. The Goddess of Immortality will definitely blame us, and then everyone will die a more miserable death. We must let the sacrifice continue."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people seemed to have found their backbone and they all agreed and even started to rush forward. They were stopped by the guards, but they still almost knocked down Harijula.
"How can this be true? How can it be true?"
Harijula was extremely angry, but he had no way to deal with these crazy people. He couldn't kill them all. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang stayed behind, observing the situation silently.
The two of them spotted a familiar face and realized that it was Grandma Zhang who instigated the incident.
Chen Changli flew forward, rushed into the crowd, kicked Grandma Zhang out, forced her to kneel in front of Harjula, and gave her a look. Harjula immediately understood, and with an order, the guards drew their swords.
"The culprit of the trouble has been caught. If you don't return, you will be killed without mercy."
She shouted loudly to intimidate the people, and when they saw the gleaming knife, they were frightened and began to retreat. One person took the lead and the rest followed suit.
