Chapter 3: Even if there is danger, let the city master carry it
In a room in the city lord's mansion.
Chen Lianying lay on the bed.
The one who healed her was a female doctor.
In Gaowu world, there is no saying that you prefer boys over girls.
At this time, the holed part on Chen Lianying's shoulder had been bandaged by a doctor. She looked nothing serious, but her face looked pale.
"Drink more water, rest more, and eat more monster meat. You will be fine in a while."
"Um."
Obviously, the female doctor didn't know Chen Lianying's true identity. After warning the things to be paid attention to, the female doctor left the room and rushed to treat other wounded people.
As soon as I left the room, I happened to run over Li Fan.
Li Fan held the female doctor's shoulders and shook her desperately: "Doctor! Doctor! How is my wife? How is my wife?"
The doctor was almost fainted by him.
At this moment, Chen Lianying's weak voice came from the door: "I'm fine."
Li Fan threw away the doctor and rushed directly into the wing room.
Seeing the bandaged wound on Chen Lianying's shoulder and her pale face, Li Fan felt so distressed that his heart was almost bleeding.
He quickly walked to Chen Lianying, suppressed his nose and choked: "Lianying, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable there? Does it still hurt? Why is this happening? Didn't you tell me that you only support me in the rear? Why did something happen?"
Chen Lianying smiled gently and wiped the tears from Li Fan's face: "I'm fine. After the wound was treated by the doctor, I feel much better. Don't worry, if you eat more monster meat for such injuries, you will recover soon. You don't know."
That's what it means.
But Li Fan still couldn't stand the way his lover looked like this.
When did you experience this kind of thing before traveling through time?
I feel sorry for him.
Tears filled my eyes again without realizing it.
Chen Lianying looked at this man who loved her so crazy and smiled sweetly: "Silly, she is almost a father, and she still shed tears so easily. How can you let me leave my child to you for your care in the future?"
Previously, Chen Lianying concealed the news that Li Fan was pregnant because she didn't want Li Fan to hinder her from fighting.
But it doesn't matter now.
Li Fan was stunned.
Be a father...
Be a father?
"Lian...Lianying, do you... have it?"
Chen Lianying nodded.
Li Fan was ecstatic.
"Be a father! I want to be a father! Hahahaha!" Li Fan turned around and shook Zhang Lei wildly, "Did you hear it? Zhang Lei! Did you hear it? I want to be a father! Lianying said I want to be a father!"
Li Fan was so excited that both sides turned back and forth.
"Hahahaha! I have a child! I'm going to be a father!"
Seeing Li Fan so excited, Zhang Lei smiled bitterly. He had known this news long ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly ran to Li Fan to mention what happened back then today.
After calming down, Li Fan picked up Chen Lianying's back and put it on his cheek: "Lianying, promise me that when you guard the city in the future, remember to hide as far as you want. If there is any danger, let the city lord take care of it..."
"Ahem! Ahem,"
Li Fan turned to Zhang Lei with some dissatisfaction and looked at Zhang Lei: "Why are you coughing? Am I wrong? You are so strong with the city lord. Who will bear it? Do you want Lianying, a pregnant woman, to charge forward? By the way, you haven't told me yet why the monster suddenly broke through the defense and entered the rear?
Haven't you all been fine before?
Even in the last battle before the beginning of winter, this has never happened like this?"
Chen Lianying exuded a sharp look, asking Zhang Lei to speak carefully.
Zhang Lei organized a speech and then said: "Chen... the city lord and I conspired to severely damage the leader of the group of monsters, which led to a powerful counterattack from the group of monsters..."
"City Lord?"
Zhang Lei nodded.
Li Fan cursed at the air: "Damn it, I know that women are definitely not reliable to be the city lord!"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
"What are you coughing again? I'm wrong? The old city lord has been guarding for so many years but has not happened. She has caused such a big trouble just two years after taking office! Can't you be more at ease? Why do you have to attack the leader of the monster?"
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
It was Zhang Lei's turn to wink Li Fan.
Li Fan suddenly realized.
It was a get, and then immediately turned around and said gently: "Dear, I'm not talking about you. If it were my wife who was the city lord, it would definitely be a hundred times better than that woman, ten thousand times better!"
Zhang Lei: "…"
Chen Lianying: “…”
After asking about his well-being for a while, Li Fan claimed that he wanted to go back to stew the monster meat for his wife to eat and leave here. The monster meat is the main way for the residents of Sunset City to become stronger, and the purchase share of the people behind him is limited.
Li Fan took Zhang Lei away by the way, saying that he wanted to take his share.
The two walked out of the wing room one by one. Not long after, Li Fan suddenly stopped.
"Zhang Lei!"
“???”
"Did you hide something from me and didn't say it?"
Zhang Lei secretly called out no.
Discovered?
"Don't lie to me. I can tell at a glance whether you are lying after all these years! Tell me, is the situation very bad now? Also, why did the new city lord want to fight the leader of the monster for no reason?"
Zhang Lei was stunned.
That's it?
I coughed twice awkwardly and quickly reorganized my language: "The situation is really bad..."
"How could this happen? Sunset City has been defending for so many years, and hasn't it been a big loss every time?"
"Actually... this matter has something to do with you."
"I?"
"You have not touched the core of the city, and you don't understand some things. You have been to Sunset City for many years. Have you ever found that there have never been more than 3 treasure holders of Sunset City?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Two years ago, you awakened the summoning book, and soon after, the old city lord was killed by the leader of the monster."
Li Fan's heart sank.
What do you mean?
You want to say, I killed the old city lord?
Or is it because of my own failure to fight that Sunset City fell into a tough battle?
Zhang Lei looked complicated, hesitated for a moment, and said gritting his teeth: "The city lord speculated that we can defend our Sunset City for so many years. Perhaps it is not because we defend well, but..."
"But what? You said?"
"But...but...the group of monsters outside are likely to be raising our Sunset City as poultry and livestock!"
"Captain?!"
Li Fan took a deep breath.
Zhang Lei nodded.
"Actually, we had discovered it a long time ago. With the number of monsters outside the city, if they really wanted to attack with all their might, our Sunset City would not be able to defend at all.
But over the years, they have always been making small fuss.
And, no matter we fetch water, log, or whatever, they will never interfere.
But as long as the fourth treasure holder appears in Sunset City...
Then there will definitely be one of them being killed!
Over the years, there has been no exception!
The city lord chose to severely damage the leader of the monster this time because he wanted to confirm his guess and see what actions they will do next!"
Zhang Lei becomes more angry the more he speaks.
Chapter completed!
