Chapter 71 My family and I are ready to be slaughtered!
When Nan Yan arrived at the door of Jian's house, the place was already in chaos.
The King of Yan sent troops to surround the Jian residence, each of them holding a sword, which was very scary; but that was not all, what was even more terrifying was that a large group of scholars sat quietly at the door of the Jian residence, and there were actually hundreds of people gathered.
These are all disciples of Master Jian. When they heard that King Yan wanted to kill all ten clans of the Jian family, and that students were among the ten clans, they also wanted to come and die with Jian Tongguang.
The people around all gathered around to watch the fun.
Seeing the situation getting more and more serious, Ye Zheng walked over with her and said softly: "Miss Nan Yan, you have to be careful. The lives of the Jian family are at stake..."
Having said that, he couldn't continue.
Nan Yan was also in a heavy mood. She nodded, turned around, walked to the door of Jian's house, and knocked gently.
This time, someone came to open the door quickly. When I looked up, it was the elegant second son of the Jian family, Jian Ruocheng.
When he saw Nan Yan, he was also stunned: "Miss Nan Yan?"
Nan Yan saluted him and said, "Master Jian, I—I have something to say to Master Jian."
Jian Ruocheng thought for a moment, then opened the door to let her in. When the scholars outside saw him, they immediately wanted to rush over, but were stopped by the soldiers. Jian Ruocheng just said to them, "Don't worry, everyone. Please go back."
After saying that, he closed the door again.
There was a lot of noise outside, but inside the Jian residence, it was unbelievably quiet, as if nothing had happened. After Jian Ruocheng closed the door and turned around, Nan Yan said apologetically, "Second Young Master, I didn't expect our visit yesterday to cause you so much trouble. I'm really sorry."
Jian Ruocheng smiled faintly and said, "This is not your decision, why should you apologize?"
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Jian family was in dire straits, but the second young master Jian remained nonchalant, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
He made a gesture and walked inside with Nan Yan.
As we walked in, there were still lush green bamboos on both sides, and the morning dew condensed on the tips of the bamboo leaves added a touch of elegance. If Nan Yan had not been weighed down by the matter of life and death, she would have been intoxicated by such a beautiful scenery.
As they were walking, Jian Ruocheng said from the front, "By the way, do you have anything to say to my father?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan asked me to come—to reprimand Mr. Jian."
"Oh? How do you reprimand me?"
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, but still said those words in a low voice.
She originally thought that as the son of Jian Tongguang, he would be furious upon hearing these words, but unexpectedly, the Second Master Jian was calm as if nothing had happened and continued to walk forward. Nan Yan said softly, "Master Jian, I——"
Seeing that they were about to reach the lobby, Jian Ruocheng turned around and said to her with a smile: "It's okay. Since it was His Royal Highness Prince Yan who asked you to reprimand him, just tell your father these words."
“…”
Nan Yan was a little surprised, but it was too late to say anything at this time. They walked to the lobby.
When I looked up, I found that the lobby was full of people sitting and standing.
In addition to the old and thin Mr. Jian Tongguang who had been seen yesterday, he was sitting in the main seat. A tall young man in blue clothes was sitting on the chair next to him. He looked somewhat similar to Jian Ruocheng, but he was a little more heroic.
Behind him stood Madam Jiahe and Xiaozhu.
There were also some servants on both sides, all gathered in the lobby.
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, Jian Tongguang had already seen her and said, "What? Has the order for beheading come? My whole family awaits the slaughter!"
