Chapter 1865: Eager to Save People
"I don't care about that anymore. I have to go save Shufang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changli kicked open the gate regardless of everything. Several people rushed into the yard, but when they saw that there was no one around, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.
Looking at the rows of houses, Chen Changli shouted something to Harijula who was still blaming himself and in a daze.
"Look for them separately."
After saying that, he walked briskly and immediately began to check from the left side one by one. Harijula followed suit and personally led people to search the house.
But after searching for a while, no one could find Wan Shufang. Chen Changli became more and more anxious, and his brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" (river).
Harijula felt guilty and said with a sad face: "What should I do? This is all my fault. How could I let her go alone with the mayor?"
Just when they were at a loss, a flash of light pierced Chen Changli's eyes. He looked closely and found that there seemed to be something in the corner.
Chen Changli quickly stepped forward and picked up the hairpin on the ground. His beautiful eyes showed anxiety: "This is Shufang's hairpin. Something must have happened to her."
The familiar object made Chen Changli certain that something had happened to Wan Shufang. Looking at the glowing hairpin, Harijula also stepped forward and said seriously, "The person was lost in my territory. Don't worry, I will find Wan Shufang as soon as possible."
She made a promise and immediately sent people to search. Harijula was the king of a region after all, and Chen Changli had no better way than to trust her.
He could only nod: "Thank you, be sure to let me know if you have any news."
Seeing the worry on the man's face, Harijula couldn't help but feel touched. Even though she had known for a long time that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were deeply in love, seeing it with her own eyes still made her amazed. She subconsciously comforted Chen Changli.
"Don't worry, Wan Shufang is a lucky person, nothing will happen to her."
Several people left the courtyard and searched around the yard, looking for Wan Shufang's trace. Before they found Wan Shufang, the sacrifice began.
The town was bustling with the sound of gongs and drums. In the middle of the street, several people were seen guarding a large iron cage and moving slowly. It seemed that they were preparing to go around the town.
Harijula and Chen Changli also stopped and watched the sacrificial ceremony.
"I don't know where Yanran has gone..." Harijula murmured. Now that Wan Shufang is missing, Yanran must not get into trouble again.
But her doubts were destined to remain unanswered. At this moment, Chen Changli was staring at the cage without blinking.
The iron cage was exposed, but there was a tightly wrapped person inside. Although his face could not be seen clearly, Chen Changli only took a glance and subconsciously felt that it was Wan Shufang.
Seeing that the cage was about to leave, he simply stopped the group of people.
"Stop, who is that person in your cage?"
Chen Changli's question was direct and aggressive, which instantly made the escorts alert and they all looked at him unfriendly.
They stood in front of the iron cage, blocking Chen Changli from looking at the cage.
"This is a sacrifice to the Goddess of Longevity. Who are you to delay the sacrificial ceremony? You don't want to live anymore! Get out of here now if you know what's best for you."
Several people pulled out scimitars from somewhere, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. This sudden scene caught Harijula off guard.
Although she didn't know why Chen Changli blocked her way, she still chose to believe him and stood firmly beside him: "I am Harijula, everyone get out of my way!"
Harijula revealed her identity and said that everyone here was her people and they would definitely obey her orders and make way for Chen Changli to take a look inside the cage.
But this time, Harijula was wrong after all. She waited for a long time, but the group of people still stood in front of her tightly and refused to move aside. This made Harijula very angry. She opened her eyes wide, her anger rising to the top of her head, and roared at those people.
"How dare you! I am your king. How dare you disobey my orders? If you don't want to die, get out of my way."
After these words were spoken, they still shocked those people. They looked at each other, hesitant, but finally they remained firm and did not move a single step.
"You are the king, but we cannot allow you to disrupt the sacrifice. If you do, you will be punished by the Goddess of Longevity, and the whole town will suffer."
"That's right. If you were our king, you should have thought of us instead of letting this man mess around and ruin the sacrificial ceremony."
"Get them out. Get them out."
A group of people started clamoring. Their belief in the Goddess of Eternal Life far outweighed their belief in Harijula. Seeing the few people gradually approaching, Harijula became completely annoyed.
She took out a whistle and blew it. Suddenly, many secret guards appeared around. Their number was far greater than the residents of the town. Now no one dared to act rashly.
"Come here, capture these rebellious guys for me." Harijula waved his hand slightly, and the secret guards received the order and rushed forward immediately. After a while of chaos, they finally controlled all those people.
The iron cage appeared in front of Chen Changli again. He walked up to it step by step, searched the leader for the key, and opened the cage.
"Stop it. You will all be punished for violating the will of the Immortal Goddess."
"The sacrificial ceremony cannot be disrupted. You, the people who maliciously destroyed the sacrifice and offended the Goddess of Longevity, will surely die a miserable death."
"Let us go now and don't touch the things in the cage."
Several people struggled fiercely, and seeing that the secret guards could no longer hold them down, Chen Changli was annoyed by the noise and frowned. He turned around and kicked the man.
He was furious and kicked the man one after another to vent his anger. His strength was so great that he kicked the man to the ground and made him spit blood. He only stopped when the man could no longer say anything to stop him.
Chen Changli returned to the front of the cage, and when he lifted the cloth covering the head of the person in the cage, a familiar face came into view. At this moment, Wan Shufang's face was a little dirty and her hair was messy. A trace of heartache suddenly flashed across Chen Changli's eyes, and he carefully bent down to hug Wan Shufang.
"Shufang, I'm sorry that I'm late. Don't be afraid. I'll take you away now." He picked up Wan Shufang and walked towards Harijula step by step.
Seeing Chen Changli carrying Wan Shufang out, especially seeing Wan Shufang's miserable appearance, Harijula's heart tightened. If Wan Shufang was treated like this, Chen Changli would probably not let this town go.
But the time is not right yet, so she still wants to dissuade him.
"Chen Changli, don't be impulsive. It's good that we've found the person. Take Wan Shufang back to heal her wounds first. We still have to look for Yanran, and the mayor hasn't been caught yet." Harijula spoke earnestly, trying to get Chen Changli to calm down.
Hearing this, Chen Changli's face turned cold, and he glanced at Harijula indifferently: "I will not let this matter go."
After saying that, he carried Wan Shufang away, leaving Harijula to clean up the mess.
