The two sides confronted each other in the cloister, surrounded by a ring-shaped ruined environment, with cracked walls concave into the stone walls of the wooden interior, and near the ruined fence were the moaning hotel guards who had been thrown to the ground.

After the lobby across the wall and the top of the floor were slammed, the chaotic footsteps and the clinking of tables and chairs clanged, and Lin An could clearly hear the sound above his head running away from near and far.

Some of the nobles' entourage of guards rushed out, low-key from a distance to check the two sides of the confrontation at the source of the tremor, and after making sure that it was just the two sides that did not harm the others, they hurried back without causing trouble.

But the action of Shirille's ice and snow sword clamping on the neck of the tall and handsome man was too obvious, and some of the guards were more careful, carefully observing the man who was being held hostage, and after seeing the identity of the other party, his face changed and he hurriedly left, and went to report to his master.

Andre frowned, his gaze swept around, "This is their territory, and it is not good for us to delay time." ”

He used the communication technique, so the voice of the conversation could not be heard, and the middle-aged warrior and the people around him could only see Andrei's movements and expressions and lips twitching.

Lin An also frowned, although the guards here fell to the ground, there were not only a dozen guards in the hotel, listening to the nearby movements, those guards were already concentrating on the corridor in the backyard, and the chaotic footsteps were approaching this side.

She was a little embarrassed, she didn't expect that the other party would be a person from the City Lord's Mansion, for such a land snake, unless they decided to tear their faces and hit them, the stalemate would be harmful to them, even if they came on behalf of the archmage this time.

During this brief period of thought, the handsome man who was held hostage suddenly spoke: "Lukaff, let everyone back away, don't approach here again!" ”

He spoke suddenly, and his throat vibrated as he spoke. A trace of blood immediately appeared on the edge of the blade that was tightly pressed against his throat, and the handsome man's entourage immediately exclaimed, and the middle-aged warrior he called Lukav was also a little pale.

"Kress, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't move, the City Guard should be coming soon! You don't want to surround these people! ”

The aristocratic young man who was hiding behind the middle-aged warrior and his hands and feet were a little weak hugged his sister, and he didn't dare to speak out anymore, but when he heard his cousin's random command, he couldn't help but shout anxiously.

"Shut up—Yumir! This is just a misunderstanding, and I believe that the famous Purple Rose will not hurt the royal family! ”

The handsome man also felt a tingling pain in his neck, and did not dare to speak loudly again. Raising his head, he lowered his voice slightly, "Can you relax a little, beautiful young lady?" Ay. Your skills are amazing, and I don't think I've gotten rid of your ability to control zhì. ”

Shellyl's answer was to press the sword inward, the wound was more bright red, and her face as cold as ice did not move.

The handsome man didn't dare to speak anymore, stiffening his neck and smiling slightly bitterly at the corners of his mouth. But even so, his appearance has not diminished, and there is a different kind of calmness in the wolf bèi.

Lin An looked at this scene and glanced at the coerced man seriously, "You know me?" ”

This answer did not need to be answered, and the man's strange gaze before was explained. Without waiting for the man to answer, Lin An said to Shiryl, "Shiryl, you let him go first." ”

The long sword that held its neck vanished. Shiryl pushed the man forward, his body was vertical, and he returned to Lin An and the four of them, and the middle-aged martial artist hurriedly caught the handsome man.

The Heroic Man waved away his entourage, only taking a white cotton handkerchief and pressing it around his neck. The white cotton cloth suddenly oozed bright red, and even Lin An and the others could see it clearly. His entourage's faces changed even more—

Although the young master is back, such injuries cannot be said to be unscathed, they don't know what kind of fate they will get after returning home, coupled with the humiliation of the young master being held hostage alive under their protection, the eyes of some of the entourages looking at Lin An and the others suddenly became gloomy and fierce.

But the man's gaze swept coldly, and the entourage immediately retracted their gaze, and the hostility quickly disappeared.

This scene made Lin An's eyes streak, she smelled the smell of blood from the eyes of these entourage, and the man who can make these people forbidden with his eyes is probably not only handsome appearance.

"I didn't expect to officially meet Purple Rose for the first time, but in such a situation, I didn't dare to confirm it before I went down."

The handsome man's voice was a little hoarse, he coughed twice, and the cotton handkerchief was dyed a little red, but he didn't care, he covered his neck with his left hand, put one hand behind his back, and leaned over and gracefully performed a gentleman's courtesy:

"In the Lower Cress. Abduro. Digo. Custer. Merlin, I had the privilege of meeting you at the ceremony. ”

There were 500 recipients, and more than 100 people were able to meet the emperor in person to accept the honor. Merlin could remember everyone, but it was a fact that he recognized Lin An.

Seven days before the celebration has passed, and this time is the hottest time for the honorees, even if they look down on these honorees who have gone out of time, no nobles dare to refute the emperor's intention at this time, especially Kress. Merlin is still a royal family, and once things get big, no matter who is right or wrong, it is the children of the royal family who are nakedly slapping the emperor in the face.

Since both sides have scruples, the scruples of the other side may be a little greater in comparison. Merlin had already shown a hint of calming things, as the party that did not suffer a loss, Lin An also showed a faint smile, waved the wide sleeves of his robe, his hands were elegantly received in front of his abdomen, his slender neck was slightly lowered, and he made a simple mage salute-

"Ann. Beautiful jade. ”

Kress. Of course, Merlin could see the perfunctory taste in Lin An's salute, the four people around her did not introduce themselves and salute, and it was clear that they didn't want to make friends with him, and after the two sides simply said two words to say that the misunderstanding would not be pursued, Lin An took people away.

As Sheryl passed by, she glanced back at the aristocratic young man expressionlessly, and a pair of eyes soaked in ice water made the young man shiver.

"Just let them go?" The aristocratic young Yumir was still a little unwilling.

He could see that his cousin didn't want to provoke those five people, but on the territory of Onda City, he couldn't think of anyone else that Cress, who was the son of the city lord, was afraid of, not to mention that even if he didn't clash head-on, there were many ways to secretly attack, and he desperately wanted to use that beautiful and piercing female warrior like ice and snow to appease his fright.

"Idiot! I've said it a long time ago, it's not you Pere here! Kress glared at him.

The Pere people are free and unfettered. The central power of the royal family is far less concentrated than that of Merlin, and some of the big nobles are equivalent to the emperor of the soil in their own territory, and because of the prevalence of mercenaries and commerce, the nobles raise private soldiers for their own respect, and even assassinate nobles in order to compete for the territory is not uncommon, in such a chaotic order, the cousin is used to doing whatever he wants in his own territory, and he thinks that this situation can be transplanted to the territory of Merlin.

At this time, the guards of the inn and some nobles with their guards were late, all of them were some local minor nobles. Kress. Merlin coped with a few words and perfunctory them.

The courteous nobles saw that even Kress was at ease, and knew that the other side of the conflict with the alliance was not easy to provoke, and they all left with a smile. Turning his head, he immediately ordered his subordinates to silence themselves and not to spread the word about what happened this time.

Yumir on the side was displeased, and muttered in a low voice: "If the nobles and nobles under our family are so slow to send troops to save the lord when their loyal lord is in trouble, the iron horsemen of the Howard family will turn around and step on their castle!" ”

Kress. Merlin glared at him coldly.

"Yumir. Howard! Their allegiance was to the great Emperor Alabham. And not my father! ”

He suddenly approached, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, his cold expression made his handsome face darken, "In the same way, if you dare to say it a second time, I will send you to the island!" ”

Yumir was silent.

That paradise island run by Cousin Cress is a paradise of pleasure. It's hell on earth. During the time that Yumir came to Merlin, he had already been there several times, and he lingered in it. I want to stay on a paradise island for the rest of my life. But Cress's threat to the island now, I think it won't be for him to enjoy.

He didn't dare to speak again, and looked at his unconscious sister with some hesitation:

This time, in addition to business, they also had the intention of considering further marriage between the two parties. It's not like he's never seen another side of Kress, but when he experiences this side of his own people. He couldn't help but worry about his sister.

Kress was relieved to see that his cousin Yumir had finally settled down, and because of Komiri's coma, they moved to a suite in the hotel to rest and dress their wounds.

Shirrill showed no mercy, and the wound on Kress's neck was bleeding a lot, almost staining the entire handkerchief red, and the wound was slightly deeper, and some of the skin was open, but it accurately avoided the arteries and blood vessels in the neck, showing the accuracy of the hijacker's human anatomy.

Kress did not allow anyone to move his neck, and bandaged the wound himself.

Two maids knelt in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, holding a huge crystal mirror high.

Kress looked at the wound on his neck in the mirror, remembering the ice-like and inviolable face of the female warrior who had just held him hostage, and the indifferent attitude of the disguised Master Lin, a slightly cruel smile appeared on his face, and a maid saw his smile, her hand shook, and the crystal mirror shook for a moment.

Kress turned a blind eye, slowly wiped the blood on his neck in the mirror, opened a lake-blue jade box in his hand, and smeared the jade-like crystal clear ointment on his neck, the ointment was originally tasteless, and immediately after touching the blood from the wound, it immediately exuded a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers, noble and clear, just like his own noble and handsome temperament.

During the rubbing of the medicine, Kress sent out his retinue and sent someone to inform the City Lord's Mansion of the matter, and the rest of the people went to Chalin An's party to check the movements and purpose of his party, leaving only a middle-aged warrior named Lu Kafu and two retinues guarding the door in the room.

After treating the wounds, the maid retreated, and Kress glanced at the corner of the skirt that disappeared at the door, and lightly ordered: "Send these two maids to the island." ”

The retinue was not surprised by this, one of the attendants at the door bowed and retreated, and the two-sword warrior Lukav on the side glanced at Yumir as a reminder, Kress looked at his cousin, and after the other party sent his cousin Ke Milli back to the room, he had been sitting in the living room peacefully, so he thought about it and said:

"Send the maid that Yumir likes, and if you don't like it, you'll pick it up next time you go to the island."

In the second half of the sentence he said to Yumir.

Yumir immediately forgot about his previous uneasiness, and immediately became excited when he received Kresss's promise.

Soon after, the entourage sent out before returned with the boss of "Tulips and Beauty", and the white and fat boss sweated like rain, his face was red and blue, most of them were anxious, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, rolling on the ground like a ball.

Of course, Yumir would not be polite to the likes of merchants who were attached to his uncle's disciples. Having the heart to show favor to his cousin, he jumped up and kicked the boss several times in a row to vent his anger, and scolded angrily:

"Great place for you to run! Unexpectedly, Cousin Kress was held hostage in public! You dare not even show your face from beginning to end, and finally ask us to send someone to find you! You're such a big shelf, why are you here now, why don't you die soon?! ”

Kress allowed Yumir to vent his anger, and when "Tulips and Beauty" were held hostage, he lost his face, and the gloom in his heart was not expressed on his face, only showing a little when dealing with his injuries.

The innkeeper did not dare to dodge. Compared to Yumir's punches and kicks. Kress's punishment scared him even more, Yumir only wanted his life at most, but Kress would make his whole family unable to survive!

So not only did he not hide. He also blocked Yumir's feet hard, and let him kick down firmly, and in a short time he was bruised and swollen all over, and his nose bleeded for a long time.

"Stop."

Yumir was a little tired from playing, and Kress's voice sounded faintly. Then he said in a cold voice, "Lady Purple Rose and her entourage are said to have been personally entertained by you, tell me about their situation." ”

“…… Yes, yes! Master Cress! ”

Boss Donkas also hates Lin An and the others now, although he has no memory of being lured by the bewitchment technique, all the things he remembers are poured out.

After mentioning the wine sent by Remus, Kress's face changed: "What did you say?" Lord Remus has also seen the Purple Rose Lady? ”

His voice seemed to be slightly surprised. Listening to it is like a surprise.

Boss Donkas didn't dare to raise his head to judge his face, and fell to the ground and said:

"Yes, Lord Remus was enjoying his own food in the detached treehouse. It may be that he accidentally saw it when the villain led the way, and then he went to the wine cellar and personally selected a bottle of twenty-five-year-old golden bottle of Heili wine. ”

Kress thought for a moment and glanced at Lukaff, who knew what was going on, and Kress didn't want anyone to listen. gave the entourage on the side a look, and the entourage said soberly: "Young Master Yumir." You've taken a fancy to the maid and you've brought it. ”

Yumir didn't hear the attention in Kress's conversation, and he didn't know who Lord Remus they were talking about, and when he was bored, he immediately stood up and said, "People, take me quickly!" ”

After Yumir left, Lukav and his retinue retreated, and Kress continued to ask:

"And then? Did Lord Remus go to see her? ”

"Back to the young master, His Excellency Remus did not go, he summoned the villain to deliver the wine and left, the young master explained that he must obey any orders of His Excellency Remus, so the villain did not dare to send someone to follow, but the villain felt that His Excellency Remus was in a good mood when he left."

The boss of Donkas hurriedly replied, he noticed that he was the only one left in the room, and his palms couldn't help but sweat.

The sound of fingers tapping on the wooden surface of the armrest sounded, and Kress remained silent, as if thinking about a very important question.

Then Kress asked Lin An about his reaction after receiving Hei Li's wine, and after hearing that Lin An's reaction was cold, his smile faded a little, and then he recovered.

"You've done a good job, Doncas, but Tulips and Beauty needs to take a break, so stay out of business for the next few days."

Kress said, swinging Donkas away.

Donkas didn't expect to be let go so easily, and glanced at Kress in disbelief, his ball-like bloated body got up and stepped on the sweat on the ground, almost fell, and retreated after apologizing.

Kress called Lucafe in and said excitedly, "Lucafe, Lord Remus has taken a fancy to that Lady of the Purple Rose!" The corners of his mouth turned upwards uncontrollably.

"Young master, the Purple Rose Lady has a great reputation, and she can't be moved lightly." Lucaf reminded.

"The more famous it is, the easier it is to control! You've forgotten the previous ......."

Kress flashed with disdain in his eyes, and smiled coldly, "What a girl genius, what a once-in-a-millennium encounter, she has now lost those halos, and she is just an ordinary woman, what she can rely on in the future is those reputations and prestige, we have a handle in our hands, and we are afraid that she will not be obedient?" ”

Lucaf was silent, he knew that Kress was not as unconcerned about the previous hijacking as he seemed, but although his mind was gloomy, he would not be lightly swayed by love.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Kress's face changed a few times, and then he changed his words: "But you are right, now is not the best time to move her, and Lord Remus is there." It is good to be sure of his intentions. ”

Lucaf smiled, "If the timing is not right, the young master had better not do it lightly, even if he misses His Excellency Remus, but if he can control this purple rose intact, I believe that with her charm, ......there are many men who want to surrender to her skirt."

As he spoke, he told the news of Beelzebub's death from the imperial capital, and the story that had to be told between the Lady of the Purple Rose and the Baron Fritz, which was boiling again at the same time.

Halfway through speaking, there was a knock at the door. The entourage came in and reported, "Young Master, Lady Purple Rose and her entourage have just left in a car. ”

Kress had calmed down by this time, "Gone?" Look where they go. ”

Soon after. The people sent came to report again, saying that Lin An and the five of them went to the royal dock in a carriage.

The Royal Docks have only been used for a few days, and when Kress heard this, he was stunned at first and glanced at Lucafe. I couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing for a while, Kressie's smile faded, and he suddenly said: "Donkas has also worked hard all these years, let him rest during this time...... Send someone to look after him. ”

Lukav smiled and nodded, "I see." ”

……

Silver-white carriages galloped down the road, and tall horses nearly a foot long dragged a carriage the size of a bedroom. It's very eye-catching.

Therefore, at the request of Master Robinho on this mission, Lin An and the five people came with Master Robinho's invitation, so they put away the agave emblem representing Master Kodiak outside the carriage. Gallop to the private dock address listed in the invitation.

This private pier is not large, and the royal private pier, which can be used by luxury pleasure boats that hold auctions, also shows the deep background and power behind it on a certain distance.

Lin An and the five did not see the shadow of the pleasure boat on the pier, and only a row of single-sail fast boats were lined up on the pier. The sail paddle on the fast boat was retracted, and there were already sailors standing on it. The body is exactly the same white stub, revealing strong and tight arms.

There were already guards guarding the dock, and a middle-aged man dressed in a tuxedo butler came up, and when he saw Lin An and the five of them coming together, his eyes flashed, and he bowed politely with a few welcoming maids and said:

"Guests, please show us your invitations."

Salin took out Master Robinho's invitation, the cover of the invitation was a gilded black background hard cover, like a deep starry sky, especially heavy.

When the middle-aged man and the welcoming maid saw the invitation, their expressions immediately froze. The middle-aged white-gloved hands took the invitation, opened it slightly, quickly swept his gaze to it, immediately closed it, handed it back with both hands again, and bent his waist lower:

"May I ask if a few of the distinguished guests are on board together?"

"Yes."

"A few of you, please."

The middle-aged man glanced at the two women among the five, his eyes fell on Lin An, who was faintly in the center of the five, and then turned around and glanced at the two exceptionally beautiful maids standing in front of the welcoming maids behind him, and the two who stood in front of him did not move, and the two who were beautiful and dignified in the middle, but slightly inferior in appearance.

The five of them, led by two maids, were divided into two clippers, one for Lin An and John, and one for a maid. The sailors on board were adept at handling the sails, and when they let go of the sails, they quickly filled up, and the sailboats flew out like arrows off the string.

When Lin An looked back, he saw that the silver-white carriage they parked on the edge of the dock was surrounded by people, and the middle-aged man who greeted the guests had probably seen the power of this kind of carriage, so he did not try to let people drag it away, but surrounded it with cloth curtains.

She couldn't help but smile lightly, looked at the sailor in front of her, and saw that he skillfully controlled the direction and speed, and couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that such a good sailor is used here." ”

Her words were praise, although they were not directly addressed to the sailor, but the sailor turned a blind eye to it, and only cared about fiddling with the sail in his hand, which made Lin An and John couldn't help but wonder.

The welcome maid on the side was named Bedicka, her hands folded in front of her abdomen, and when she heard this, she seemed to be worried that Lin An would blame them, so she lowered her head and said in a respectful whisper: "If you return to your guests, it's a pity that these sailors are already deaf and dumb, and they have no other use except sailing." ”

These young and strong sailors, of course, are not all deaf and dumb for no reason. When Lin An and John heard this, their colors suddenly changed, and John's face sank and said, "The guests at the auction are all such people?" ”

This doesn't seem to be the first time that a guest has such a problem, Bedica didn't have a different color, and replied softly: "No, this guest, these sailors are not trained by my auctioneer, but someone has lent them." ”

John's face did not soften, "Who lent it?" ”

"I'm sorry, Bedica can't answer," Bedica smiled mysteriously, "but if you want to, you'll find out soon." After saying that, he closed his mouth tightly.

Lin An and John's looked at each other, not knowing what the organizer was doing mysteriously, but since Bedica said so, the answer would naturally be revealed later, so they didn't embarrass her.

The fast sailing boat was fast and steady when the wind was downwind, and after half an hour it broke away from the river and sailed into Onda Lake, and after going deep into the inner lake, it arrived at a deep-water bay, where the deep still water was blue and the sky was blue, and a huge pleasure boat was quietly moored on the water.
