Chapter 208: The Captive

In the early morning, the sun rises in the east. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the east of Yanzhou City, in an English-style castle, the sun shines through the window edge into the most palatial room, perhaps attracted by the warmth of the sun, a blonde man walks to the window a little lazily.

"It's really boring, I knew that I would have taken on the task of sweeping up the remnants of the French Resistance in the south, just because my territory is close to the Dongying people, do I have to take on the task of monitoring them for the Alliance?" Colby looked like he had just woken up in his pajamas, pushed open the window, and muttered to himself as he looked at the scene outside the castle.

Outside the tall castle is the newly awakened town, the market is bustling with people, and from time to time a loud noise reaches Colby's ears, and the strong wooden walls surround the whole town, merging the castle with the town.

A wide, straight road leads from the exit of the castle gate to the market in the center of the town, and then still leads straight to the wooden gate on the west side.

Standing on top of the castle and looking around the town, you will see that many people from nearby villages are moving towards the town, and the farmers hope to go to the market and trade the proceeds of their toil for other necessities. Farther afield, Colby spotted a caravan arriving from other partner towns.

"When Albert returns with the army, I will be able to get out of this life." Colby motioned for the attendants to come forward and dress, and thought with some ease.

The days without enemies made Colby not very adaptable, although it seemed very relaxed, but for some reason, Colby always had a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and only when he looked forward to his town, the sense of dominance with almost everything could fill his heart and eliminate that feeling of worry.

"What are you going to do today? There doesn't seem to be much stock left. Under the service of the attendants, Colby dressed up for some ornate aristocratic service, put on a ornate decorative weapon, and looked at himself in the vertical mirror and muttered to himself.

After some time, Colby walked out of the bedroom and slowly descended the stairs, and the halberd-wielding guards along the way stood up straight and saluted, which made Colby feel refreshed a lot.

In the hall, the long table was already filled with Colby's favorite breakfast and breakfast tea, and exquisite oriental porcelain tableware, making Colby feel as if he had an imperial level of enjoyment.

"Come on, come on, bring someone here, let's start the show soon." Colby sat down in the main seat and smiled at an old man who looked like a butler.

"Your Excellency, what duel are you going to watch today?" The butler asked, leaning in.

Chewing on the pastry, Colby searched for a Chinese maid standing on the side, and immediately had an idea, and said with a smile: "Bring out the Chinese man in the prison today, and there are some Indians and Dongying people." After taking a sip of tea, Colby looked at the Chinese maid and said, "Go, make me another pot of tea, this tea is already cold." ”

The maid did not dare to hesitate, approached the long table with some fear, then picked up the teapot and ran towards the corridor behind the hall, her face with a trace of bruises and a little blood.

At Colby's orders, the butler immediately left the hall with a group of guards and headed for the lower cell inside the castle.

"I'm tired of seeing the blood of the Lanxi people yesterday, let's look at the blood of the Chinese people today, anyway, that's all there is left to play." Colby picked up a piece of fresh fruit with a fork and put it in his mouth, munching on it as he thought.

With the crisp sound of chains dragging the ground, about two dozen people dressed in prisoners' white single clothes were carried in by the guards.

"Your Excellency, the person you want has been brought." The butler didn't look at Colby's eyes, but bowed his head and said.

Colby nodded, and then searched for the Huaxia man standing at the front, even with the iron chain, there was no sign of submission in his eyes, although his companions had all died two days ago.

"Proud Huaxia Knight, do you know what I asked you to do today?" Colby looked at the unyielding eyes and suddenly became interested, and said with a smile, "I learned from the other Chinese prisoners of war that you are their chief knight, so I left you at the back, your surname is 'Zhou', this may be a Chinese noble surname, can you tell me your full name?" Maybe your performance today can bring me unexpected fun. ”

"Wu Na barbarian, you don't deserve to know the name of someone Zhou, if you want to kill today, why bother to say more, have you forgotten the past when you fled in embarrassment in front of Lord Wen? Although someone dies today, one day in the coming day, you will die worse than me, and I curse you to fall into the boundless hell and never be reborn. The general surnamed Zhou looked directly at Colby and said viciously.

Colby didn't show any signs of anger when he heard this, just applauded and smiled excitedly: "That's good, that's good, but you seem to have forgotten a very important thing, that is, your spiritual pillar of Huaxia, Lord Wen, has become my prisoner of England at this moment, and his daughter has also become my maid at this moment." Although your spirit of glory is still very strong, but in the face of reality, it is just some ridiculous illusions, maybe that Lord Wen can't stand the torture at this moment and surrenders to my England, after all, in the torture chamber of Cliff Castle, even the strongest person will give in. ”

"It is absolutely impossible for Lord Wen to surrender." When the general surnamed Zhou heard this, he immediately retorted loudly, his chest rising and falling violently.

"Hahaha, you still care about your own situation, you are just a plaything in my hands at the moment." Colby looked at the angry general surnamed Zhou and said, after a while, Colby felt that breakfast was almost over, so he terminated the conversation with the general surnamed Zhou, got up and said to the butler: "Take them to the racecourse, I want to have a spectacular game today." ”

"Your Excellency, are you inviting other nobles from the city to come, and are the people from the Chamber of Commerce among those invited?" The butler understood what Colby meant, and immediately inquired in detail.

"Yes, that's right, invite all the people of position in the city." Colby said with a meaningful smile.

"Yes, my lordship." After getting the answer he wanted, the butler bowed down and gave orders, and then led the guards to carry out all the more than twenty prisoners.

The maid who made the tea cautiously approached the long table and poured tea for Calder's empty teacup, her body trembling slightly.

The tea trembled, and soon a part of it spilled onto the tablecloth, soaked in gorgeous patterns.

"Is it really an uncivilized native, who can't even pour tea?" Colby looked up at the maid slightly, and an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Your father is a Chinese nobleman, why haven't you received a little aristocratic education?" ”

The maid just lowered her head and didn't speak, not daring to look Colby's eyes.

"Huh? Is this tea? Colby took a sip, and immediately spoke out with a displeased expression, stood up, and looked at the maid who wanted to retreat, Colby grabbed the handle of the teapot and threw the teapot at the maid, "Clumsy yellow-skinned monkey, it's a waste of my treasure." ”

The teapot smashed on the maid's head, and then fell to the ground and shattered, and the maid who was hit let out a sobbing cry of pain, and then felt a stream of heat gushing out of her forehead, and her eyes were a little dizzy, and she saw the blood dripping onto the placket of her clothes, rendering a trace of poignancy.

As if he were still not relieved by this, Colby stepped forward and kicked the maid to the ground, ignoring the fragments of the teapot scattered on the ground.

"Don't think that you can get rid of this life, I have become your master, this is the punishment brought to you by what your father has done, learn from other maids, such as Dongying and Indian maids, and when you are satisfied with the day of serving me, you will have a good life, all this pain is you atoning for your father's sins." Colby stomped on the maid's chest, crushing it with his heel repeatedly, and finally sneered before pulling his foot away.

The wounded maid sobbed quietly, looking at the departing Colby, covering the wounds on her body and crying in despair, she felt extremely lonely and helpless in the cold castle hall.

"Father,,Father,,I miss you so much,,, I miss you so much."
