Lin Xiu and the others left Hammond in the morning, and arrived at the Changfeng Fortress in the evening.

Marquis of Daun's Palace, restaurant.

"Lord Dawn and Miss Shebel are in retreat, and my lord has explained that I will go with you to the exchange meeting as the leader of the Changfeng Fortress. ”

Agatha sat at the end of the long table, supporting her head with one hand, and holding the handle of the fork with the other hand, shaking slightly, looking at Lin Xiu with interest.

"I said you can't just design a round table to eat? ”

Although the dining table in Lin Xiu's mansion is also a long table, the length is no more than 5 meters, but this long table is at least 10 meters, and the voice is so small that it can't be heard on the other side at all.

"Lin Xiu, I don't allow you to reply to her words. Thorn Rose sat beside Lin Xiu, pretending to drink soup, and said coldly.

Lin Xiu flattened his mouth and did not speak.

Wren saw that Lin Xiu's face was a little ugly, and then glanced at the thorn rose with a calm face, thoughtful.

"Miss Agatha would be best if she was willing to go along. Wren laughed.

Lin Xiu's bitter expression was obviously relaxed, and he cast a grateful look at Ren.

However, Wren didn't buy it, cut lightly, and continued to deal with the food in front of him.

The next morning, light snow began to fall in the sky.

Lin Xiu stood in front of the windowsill, a little worried about the grain that had not yet been harvested, as well as the poultry, and he didn't know if the villagers who had no experience in raising them would be able to get busy.

Shaking his head, he waved away the distractions in his mind, these things were beyond his control for the time being, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to follow the first adventure team to participate in the exchange meeting, and then meet the queen Cecilia who had cheated him.

Leaving the Fortress of the Wind Force, the party had two more wagons, one of which was carrying five hand-picked ironclad guards, and the other two were carrying some personal salutes.

Agatha rode a white horse, and her red robe was covered with many white spots, and came to the vicinity of Lin Xiu's carriage.

Knock knock.

"Can Lin Xiu have some interest? Such a good snow scene actually chose to hide in the car. Agatha's voice came out of the carriage.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Thorn Rose, who was sitting opposite Lin Xiu: "This woman is so annoying. ”

Lin Xiu looked at the Thorn Rose nervously, and hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive, she is just deliberately making trouble for me because I didn't sell her the cemetery." ”

"Who would buy a cemetery at such a young age? Unless that person is stupid, I think it's the junior who wants to be on top and deliberately tosses. Wren bent his legs in the back of the carriage, covered with a blanket, and said cold things indifferently.

Sure enough, as soon as Wren's words fell, the Thorn Rose became on fire, and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.

"It's really not what you think, Rose, you listen to my explanation!" Lin Xiu suddenly grabbed the back of Thorn Rose's hand in a panic, he knew the strength of Thorn Rose, if Thorn Rose wanted to kill Agatha, I am afraid that Agatha would die directly if she couldn't resist for even a moment.

Thorn Rose's anger suddenly subsided, and she looked at Lin Xiu in surprise: "What did you call me just now?"

Lin Xiu said blankly, "Thorn Rose?"

Thorn Rose shook her head: "No, the last two words." ”

"Listen?" Lin Xiu's face became even more dazed.

The Thorn Rose was about to get angry again, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Wren rolled straight off the seat under the drive of inertia.

"Deley, what are you doing? Why can't you even drive a carriage. ”

Wren roared angrily, he had already prepared to watch a good show, and then at a critical moment, he would come to save the beauty once again, pretending to be a force.

As for why he didn't do it yesterday, it was because it was Daun's territory, and if Thorn Rose attacked Agatha, I'm afraid the others would just sit and watch Daun pretend to be forced, where would he still have his share?

But I didn't want the seamless plan to be ruined by Deli.

"Lin Xiu, come out quickly, there is a situation ahead. Agatha said, knocking on the door of the carriage.

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the ruins of the village, and billowing smoke poured into the sky.

"This is a village under the fortress of the wind, and you dare to openly make an enemy of the fortress, damn it, don't let me catch it, or I will make your life worse than death!" Agatha clenched her fists, and the clattering of the joints of her bones made a gurgling sound.

"It's too early to tell, what if it's just a rogue in the neighborhood? ”

A group of people got out of the carriage and walked towards the ruins on foot, the snowflakes in the sky dyeing the earth a thin layer of white, and the shoes stepped on it revealed the earth's original color.

Smoke continued to drift from the burned wood, suggesting that the village should have been destroyed not long ago.

"Although there was some blood on the ground, there was not a single corpse, which was a little strange. Wren walked around the burned-out village, frowning.

"Lord Agatha, this is the third village destruction incident in this time. An ironclad guard whispered to Agatha.

"Don't panic, as long as you wait for Lord Marquis's cultivation to finish, you will definitely catch all these guys who are hiding their heads and tails. Agatha said.

"The third case, didn't you find the dead in front of you?" Lin Xiu asked when he heard the conversation between Agatha and the ironclad guards.

The ironclad guards saluted Lin Xiu and said, "Baron Lin Xiu, no dead person was found, we think it may be that the body was taken away by a wild wolf." ”

"No way. Wren shook his head: "No matter how few there are in a village, there are dozens of people, and the territory of Changfeng Fortress is not a primeval forest, where do so many wild wolves come from." ”

"Maybe it's some other beast. The Ironclad Guard whispered about the results of the previous discussion.

"Impossible!" Wren denied directly, he picked up a piece of wood with a few red dots that had not been burned out and said: "If it is a corpse taken by a wild beast, it will definitely leave a lot of blood stains on the ground, but you see where there are blood stains, this is clearly tomato juice." ”

The ironclad guards were speechless by Wren, and silently retreated into the group, although he didn't feel reliable for the explanation of the beast taking the corpse, but it was the only explanation that could make sense.

Wren said that these villagers were captured, and they also thought about it, but the fortress of the Long Wind is located in the northwest of the kingdom, and if you want to trade slaves, you don't have to run so far away, and it is also a territory where the powerful Marquis is stationed.

You must know that once the marquis is angry, no one in the entire kingdom except the Grand Duke and Her Majesty the Queen will be able to suppress it, and how can those high-ranking magnates and royal families intercede for a small slave caravan?

"What's your idea?" said Agatha as she looked at the pensive Lin Xiu.

"I'm afraid this is a conspiracy against the Long Wind Fortress, because of Lord Daun's advancement, so some people can't sit still. Lin Xiu said with a complicated mood.

He didn't expect that the relationship between Grand Duke Nixon and the royal family would be so bad that he had already begun to attack ordinary people.

But what did the Grand Duke take these civilians for?

But these people were all civilians before, and they had no combat effectiveness at all.

But if it's not a conscription, why is it a slave trade? That's even more unreliable.

Agatha walked up to Lin Xiu, lowered her head and whispered, "My father guessed the same way. ”
