The heavy snow kept falling, Qin Feng looked at the getting heavier and heavier snow, and had no choice but to let the team speed up more than once, and finally returned to Bull Town before sunset the next day.

The huge gates opened, and the weary soldiers lay on the ground, and soon there was a tired snoring. In order to get back to Bulltown before the blizzard, the soldiers also suffered a lot, and even several carriages were abandoned because of the long bumpy time.

Luo Wei frowned, and just wanted to open his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Qin Feng.

"Will," Qin Feng shouted to Will, who rushed over, "These soldiers are already too tired, you light some fires here, and be sure not to let the soldiers catch a cold." Then recruit some townsfolk to cook food so that the rested soldiers can wake up with hot food. ”

"Rowell," Qin Feng instructed Rowell again: "You go and count the families of the fallen soldiers, give a pension to each family, and exempt them from taxes for two years." After this is done, go home and rest, everyone is tired during this time. ”

"And you too," Qin Feng looked at the thick layer of snowflakes on Will's armor, "You have also guarded Bull Town for such a long time, it can be seen that you haven't rested much, and you will go back to rest after finishing things." ”

The two of them were moved in their hearts, nodded and left.

"Butler, you put all the seizures into the warehouse, and then sort it out and tell me that most of the work in this matter can be handed over to Amul to do, I think he is still doing a good job, give him more opportunities." Qin Feng said: "And butler, you are old, rest early." Qin Feng looked at the old butler's aging face full of wind and frost, and felt ashamed.

"It's okay, young master, my body is still very good, and I can serve you for a lifetime." The old butler smiled, looked at Amüller, who was busy managing the carriage procession, and nodded with satisfaction. "Amüller is still too young, and although he is very smart, he is a little frizzy at times, and I am a little worried about it. But I'll pay attention, I still want to serve you for the rest of my life! ”

Qin Feng patted the old butler on the shoulder and was silent.

"Hank, you will take Kate's children to the Baron's Mansion and put Kate's ashes in the Heroes' Temple, and this matter will be handed over to you." Qin Feng said to Hank again that he had always remembered this incident.

"Yes, young master."

After ordering everything, Qin Feng returned to the Baron's Mansion under the protection of the guards.

Shirina was still standing on the windowsill on the second floor, looking down at Qin Feng and his party.

As if feeling something, Qin Feng raised his head and happened to meet Xilina's gaze.

Shirina's calm gaze did not have any waves, she glanced at Qin Feng lightly, turned to leave, Qin Feng only saw her blonde hair blown by the breeze.

…………..

In the south of the empire, on the banks of the Nanyun River, in a huge and magnificent city.

The vast golden hall was empty and solemn, and the walls were made of huge stones, and the gaps between the boulders flowed with golden light, as if these boulders were made of gold juice. The wide floor was paved with black and smooth obsidian, which was only found in the mountains of the far north of the Empire, and even the counts of the Empire regarded a piece of obsidian as a treasure, but here it was used to pave the ground.

The most conspicuous thing in the empty hall may be the tall "throne", with ivory as the base, gold as the watch, gems as the decoration, and on the gold there are exquisite patterns carved by the skilled craftsmen of the elves, and the complex and exquisite elven patterns are all over the entire "throne", and in the middle is a huge rose, the lifelike roses seem to be bright and dripping blood, with a trace of enchantment.

But at this time, there was a woman sitting on this "throne", she relaxed her wrists, leaning on the back of the chair, the thin tulle seemed to be unable to stop it at all, revealing a silky soft flesh-colored skin. A thick black hair spread out on his chest, bringing out his extraordinarily white skin, delicate facial features, small lips, what a beautiful girl!

But in such a beautiful scene, a strong man knelt at the feet of this beautiful girl, and the hall was silent. On both sides, tall warriors in fine armor stood straight, and beautiful elven slaves trembled around the girl, bowing their heads, even if this girl was so beautiful, they did not dare to have the slightest courage to raise their heads.

The kneeling man trembled all over, even though he was so strong, but at the feet of this girl, he only dared to kneel with his head down, and drops of cold sweat fell on the smooth floor.

In the entire hall, there was only silence.

"Engels," the girl finally spoke, and his voice was so good, like the crisp cry of a yellow warbler in the woods in early spring.

But listening to the man's ears, the man was indeed trembling, and the sweat left on his face was even more, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes... Yes... Master. ”

"I remember that your ancestors have been serving my Rose family for more than 50 years," the girl's slender jade fingers wrapped around her black hair: "Engels, I'm right. ”

"It's... Yes, master. The man stammered and nodded.

"Do you know what happened to all the people who caused losses to the family?" The girl said casually. "Do you want to know what happened to you?" A smile tugged at the corner of the girl's mouth.

The man's body trembled and almost fell, but he didn't dare to say half a word begging for mercy, his father had repeatedly told him since he was a child, he must not do anything to be sorry for the Rose family, absolutely not.

As a child, he didn't know that he didn't know the fate of those who betrayed the family, or caused losses to the family, until he grew up and took his father's place, and he didn't dare to imagine that he would do this.

"Heh...," the girl opened her mouth and smiled, "You seem to know, Engels." But why did you do such a stupid thing, in my impression of you, huh...? You always seem to be a smart person! The girl tilted her head, and her black hair twisted around her fingers, untied and twisted again.

"Master..."Engels trembled and wanted to stand up and explain, but then he was slashed on the leg by a samurai on the side, Engels staggered to his knees, the sharp pain in his leg made his whole body tremble, but he did not dare to scream.

"Is it the baron's fault? Engels! The girl seemed to know everything, put down the hair between her fingers, looked at Engels, "I will regard this matter as a mistake made by you in confusion, and the crime will not lead to death, but I will also teach you a lesson." The girl raised her hand to the samurai.

The samurai drew his long sword, its sharp blade glowing with a cold glow.

Engels knew what the girl meant, and not only did he not have the slightest resentment in his heart, but was extremely surprised and took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

The samurai swung his sword, Engels' thumb was cut off, and a trace of blood dripped onto the floor.

Under the severe pain, Engels hugged his hand, his whole body trembled, but he was really relieved in his heart, one finger is better than no life.

"Engels, this is your last chance." The girl got up and left: "You give me a good meeting with the baron in the Northlands, you can have as much contact with him as you want, and if necessary, you can trade without restrictions...."

Engels was startled, but nodded obediently, covered his hands and left the hall.

The girl smiled and departed with the elven slaves.
