Chapter 568: Chapter 178 Nan Batian: Where is my wife? Where is my wife? (10,000 characters asking for subscription)Xiaohe Village, at the gravesite.
The Fishing Guild Disciples formed a formation around Nan Batian, Qin Ying, and Tang Ziyue, circling them as a means of protection.
Meanwhile, the Mulan people circled around them and unleashed a verbal assault on Nan Batian and the others, spewing fragrant abuse, and the scene was quite comical for a while.
The Mulan people knew that the Fishing Guild was not to be messed with and dared not take any action, fearing that they might drive them into a corner with no way out.
Nan Batian and his companions were also restrained, not daring to lay hands on the Mulan people, afraid that doing so would enrage them and lead to a dispute, which would be bad.
Both sides held back, with the Mulan people primarily using their words and not their hands, and Nan Batian following the principle of turning a deaf ear as if hearing "The Sutra of the Fool."
Having the younger disciples of the Fishing Guild surround him prevented the Mulan people from spewing abuse at him face-to-face.
And just when this comical scene reached its climax, Lord Yelu hastened to the scene on horseback.
His eyes glanced over everything, taking in the encircled Nan Batian, the coffins pried open across the ground, a complete mess.
Qimu Ge, seeing the chaos, shouted with all his inner strength, "Everyone stop, Lord Yelu has arrived!"
Upon hearing these words, sure enough, everyone ceased their actions. When the Mulan people saw Yelu’s arrival, led by Old Arutai, they rushed to him, "Lord Yelu, you’ve finally come. You must stand up for us Mulan people. These Han people, they, they are defecating on our heads!"
"Look, my lord, they’ve dug up our graves; they’ve never taken us Mulan people seriously. They, they want the Mulan people to die!"
"Lord, you are the representative of our Mulan people. You cannot ignore this. Last time, you said there wasn’t enough evidence for Chen Jiusi’s case to stand up for us, and we accepted it, but this time, Lord Yelu, look, these coffins all over the ground. Can’t this serve as evidence?"
"Lord Yelu, please stand up for us. If you don’t uphold justice for us this time, then the Han people will bully us to death in the future. My lord... wuu wuu..."
As Old Arutai reached this point, sorrow overcame him, and he began to cry. Yelu also frowned upon hearing this.
As a Darugachi, although he did not care much for the local Mulan people, he could not ignore them, as protecting the local Mulan people was one of the responsibilities of the Darugachi.
Thinking this, Yelu said, "Uncle Arutai, and everyone else, rest assured, we Mulan people are the descendants of the Eternal Heaven and will not be bullied. I will uphold justice for you."
"Nan Batian!"
Yelu shouted angrily, and at that moment, the Fishing Guild Disciples stepped aside, leaving a path for Nan Batian.
Accompanied by the Gang Leader, Tang Ziyue and Qin Ying approached and greeted, "We pay our respects to Lord Yelu."
Yelu frowned and said, "Explain yourself?"
Nan Batian gave a wry smile and said, "My lord, it’s like this: today, we did not find any firearms in Chen Jiusi’s coffin, and I foolishly withdrew all the guards from East City, leading to Sun Tiechui and a group of rebels escaping from East City. I had no choice, so upon our analysis, we thought that if firearms were to be smuggled out of the city, the best way would be to use the thirty-six coffins of the Mulan Nobles..."
"We dug up the coffins of the Mulan Nobility in
Taking the arrowhead, Yelu examined it and said, "An arrowhead for a bow. How can this serve as evidence?"
"My lord, this is the firearm transported by the Zoroastrian Sect. This one must have been left behind at the scene. I found it in Tara’s coffin."
Upon hearing this, Yelu slightly furrowed his brows.
Old Arutai, standing nearby, was also startled. How could such a thing be in the coffin? But even if it was really them who smuggled the firearms out of the city, at this point, they could not admit it.
