As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.
When Li Changfeng returned to the capital with everyone crying and wailing, Kolodi and Monila died of their injuries, but Adrian was still alive and well.
Li Changfeng stopped at the city gate and said to the soldiers guarding the city: "Hang all these bastards on the city gate and deprive them of food or drink until they are hanged."
Li Changfeng never showed mercy to his enemies.
Although Li Changfeng had no official position, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to disobey him, so they quickly bowed and said yes, and the soldiers from the artillery battalion under his command threw away the people who were tied into rice dumplings.
Li Changfeng rode his bicycle and whizzed away with Chunni.
Soon, Adrian and others were hung on the city gate, and the people coming and going in the capital stopped to watch, including Batur, who was still enjoying life in the capital.
He could feel the terrifying power remaining in Adrian's body, and couldn't help but feel frightened. It was an existence on the same level as him.
"Fortunately, I didn't take action against Li Changfeng, otherwise I might have ended up like this."
Batur felt lucky for his wise decision.
He didn't notice that not far away, Takeda Taro was wearing a large-style coarse linen suit and a straw hat, quietly mingling among the crowd, staring at Adrian with flashing eyes.
The people around him didn't know him, so they discussed the matter enthusiastically.
"It's really fast. In just half a day, His Highness the Ninth Prince captured them."
"It's damning to say that they dare to rob His Highness's people."
"Things are not as simple as you said. I heard that these are people from the Western Holy See who want to preach in my country."
"I've also heard that these people don't want to give birth but just want to be supported. How could Your Majesty and His Highness agree? It was only after they were rejected that they did such a thing!"
"That's a damn thing to say!"
"Well done, His Highness the Ninth Prince!"
"..."
For Li Changfeng, this is nothing more than a trivial matter.
But for the people in the capital, it was a rare bustle. After hearing the news, many people came to see Adrian hanging on the city gate.
Soon, word spread about what happened in Qingyuan Town outside the city. Everyone was scolding, and some even took out rotten egg vegetable leaves and even threw stones at them.
Adrian, who was of noble status, had never suffered such humiliation before. He was so angry that he fainted several times and then was knocked awake again. He was tortured back and forth to the point where life was worse than death.
He cursed Li Changfeng in the most vicious language, but no one in Da Gan could understand him. However, this did not prevent Da Gan people from feeling his malice, and more rotten eggs and stones were thrown at him.
By night, he was so weak that he was about to die.
"God, what kind of country is this? Why did I take on this task in the first place?"
"Li Changfeng, you damn heretic, I won't let you go even if I die and turn into an evil spirit!"
Adrian had no strength at this time and could only curse in his heart.
Under Li Changfeng's suggestion, the curfew has been lifted in the capital, and it was not until very late that the city gate became quiet.
Adrian was completely desperate.
Thinking that more people might come to watch him tomorrow and throw rotten eggs and stones at him, Adrian decided to bite his tongue and commit suicide to end this state of life that was worse than death.
At this moment, a figure came over quietly, without disturbing the soldiers on the city wall at all. He cut off the rope, covered his mouth and left quickly.
Adrian's eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Takeda Taro, who was no different from Da Ganren, and his heart was full of doubts.
Taro Takeda didn't let go of his hand until he was far away from the city wall.
"Who are you?! Why did you save me?"
Taro Takeda couldn't understand what he said. He said in Japanese pirate language, "Li Changfeng is our common enemy" and stopped talking. Adrian didn't understand anything else, but he did understand the three words "Li Changfeng", from which he guessed Takeda Taro's intention to save him, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
"Li Changfeng, you will definitely pay the price for this!"
Then he said to Takeda Taro: "Save my men as well, I need their help."
Taro Takeda looked at him with a puzzled expression.
For a moment, the two stared at each other, neither understanding what the other was saying.
Soon, Taro Takeda carried Adrian to a thatched house in a secret location in the suburbs, where a big man and a foreign woman were tied up.
Taro Takeda said to Adrian: "I will treat your injuries, and we will join forces to assassinate Li Changfeng. I have been lurking in the capital for a long time, and I will definitely succeed!"
Then he looked at the big man: "Translate!"
Obviously, this Dagan man understood the Japanese language and used Dagan dialect to speak to the Banbang woman around him. The Banbang woman was also given to Li Changfeng by Benjamin and translated Takeda Taro's words to Adrian.
Adrian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you heal my injury, and I will assassinate that bastard Li Changfeng with you!"
The two of them communicated in such a complicated way.
…
Early the next morning, Li Changfeng received news one after another that Adrian and one of his foreign women had disappeared.
Li Changfeng frowned slightly and walked around the room to analyze.
"I have a grudge against you, the prince. There are only two people who can possibly save Adrian. One is Takeda Taro from the Japanese pirate country, and the other is Batur from the Hu Clan Wolf Temple."
"Of course, people from the Barbarian Temple are also possible, but they are very small. If they had taken action against me, they would have done it long ago."
"It's unlikely that Batur is timid and fearful, so the most likely person is Takeda Taro."
"The kidnapped foreign girl must have been taken away by them to be a translator."
Zhang Haihui nodded in agreement with Li Changfeng's analysis and said with some concern: "In this case, they have two powerful beings. Your Highness, you must pay attention to safety."
He knew that Chunni was a master from Bai Yujing and had a good relationship with Li Changfeng.
But the two were not husband and wife and did not live in the same room. If Takeda Taro and Adrian took advantage of the darkness to assassinate Li Changfeng, Chunni might not even have time to take action.
Li Changfeng also has such worries.
He only had a thousand days to be a thief, but a thousand days to guard against thieves. He didn't want to be deprived of sleep, so he frowned and thought.
"If it doesn't work, just increase the intensity of the guard." Zhang Haihui sighed.
"It's useless." Li Changfeng shook his head.
With his innate strength at the Xiaocheng level, he clearly knew how vulnerable those guards were.
"What should we do?"
Zhang Haihui looked sad, and Li Changfeng also fell into deep thought.
After a while, Li Changfeng patted his forehead.
"There is a way!"
"What can I do?"
Li Changfeng chuckled and said, "They don't dare to do anything in broad daylight. They will definitely choose you to lay a power grid around my room at night!"
Zhang Haihui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Highness, do you mean to electrocute them to death?!"
