11 Mysterious Man
And so the morning passed.
In her elegant and luxurious palace, Joanna first heard the report of the spies: the little girl had indeed been taken captive, from a stockade about 180 kilometers away, and had become a slave when she came, and had been assigned to work in the kitchen.
Everyone in the "Flame Regiment" has to work, whether it is a gang member or a plundered population, it is a gang with a tight division of labor.
Under Joyna's rule, this is the only way to survive on this desolate land.
However, just yesterday I was rescued and escaped! And someone has been sent to chase after them, and the pursuers have not returned so far. Somehow, it's back now.
Joanna thought for a moment and asked, "Who went after it?" Get in touch. ”
"It's 'Quick Knife Baggio', and two of his subordinates, a total of three, and I can't contact them now."
Can't get in touch? Joanna's face was startled and pondered for a moment.
She understood, and estimated what was going on - dead people, of course they couldn't be contacted!
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wu came to report. She told the story of what happened, as well as what happened to Tombton and others, waiting for the judgment of the "Queen".
That said, it makes sense. Since the girl called the boy her brother, she should have been rescued by her brother or the man.
His brother has a very good helper, and when he comes back here to find a field, the queen seems to understand.
"Uncle Yan?" The queen frowned as well......
"That's not right, you see, even though that's the way it is. However, the man named 'Iwa' doesn't seem to have any intention of seeking justice. Moreover, he also helped Thompton pick up the severed hand. If he came to kill him all, or to seek revenge, it would be good to kill Thompton with one shot, why do you still help him heal his injuries? “
"Also, for them, seeing us should be like an enemy meeting each other...... That's right. "Xiao Wu Gang Queen analyzed.
"Is that what you want from us? Those who are tethered behind are the chips. However, this doesn't seem to make sense...... We're the Flames! This is our base camp, and the general public is terrified, who dares to come to our territory to negotiate terms? Don't you want to die? ”
Joyna's brow furrowed, lost in confusion.
Could it be that this man has another purpose?
"I don't know. But either way, it looks like you're going to need to meet him in person. As far as I've observed, he's really not an ordinary person......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Wu remembered what those people said, as well as the shocking things he had seen with his own eyes.
Half an hour later.
In a lavishly decorated hall, the "Queen" Joyna walked in a delicate tight-fitting suit. The black and red outfit and red hair outline her perfect figure very well.
This is her usual standard attire.
Her red hair is coiled up, and there are 3 shiny silver roses on it, which is really brilliant! Brilliant and incomparable.
The whole hall is shining with her arrival!
On the walls of the hall, several giant candles burned, and there was not a trace of flickering as the queen walked by.
Her gentle steps and noble and confident expression made this golden hall look shabby.
There was a hint of competence in her fortitude and restraint, and the maids on both sides waited for her to sit down at a huge table, and then they were separated. The maids also carried weapons such as daggers with them.
Xiao Wu and Thompton each led two teams of men and stopped behind.
This temperament, this grace, this cold and resolute aura - sure enough, she is the master of the brutal iron-fisted rule of the "Flame Regiment".
"Queen", the emperor of women! The spirit of the overlord is revealed.
This is a rare king in this era. A group of thugs and madmen were set off in front of her, just like those human beings who were still drinking blood in the primitive era tens of thousands of years ago, small, ugly, and ignorant......
Except for the man.
At the other end of the huge table, "Iwashi" was leaning back on a wide, plush chair with his legs crossed, his wide-brimmed hat low over half of his face, and his expression was invisible.
He didn't even seem to want to look up at her.
A ragged traveler, but with an inexplicably powerful aura.
Joyna calmly and carefully examined the man, and seemed to feel the nameless coercion.
Calm down!
She smiled suddenly, her snort trembled slightly, and she didn't speak...... She wanted the man to speak first.
This is a kind of psychological warfare for negotiation, which is her usual method. Strike last, strike first.
However, her wishful thinking clearly fell through.
She felt that the air was dull and unnatural—tightness in her chest. But it's not really chest tightness, I can't say it. It wasn't just her, everyone present felt it.
It's not the feeling, it's the heat.
This is a real coercion, oppressing the crowd, as if everyone's breath has become heavy.
Long......
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere froze.
A fly flew across the table, "buzzing" between the two. "Smack!" With a bang, a small electric spark flashed from the little wing, and the fly fell to the table.
This is? Joyna's heart tightened.
The man flicked his nails......
What is this ability?
Soon, she was calm again and quickly changed her train of thought...... She stretched her neck sideways and back, her body twisting a little, the corner of her eyes still facing the man, and snapped her fingers behind her.
The action is done in one go, and the range of turning is not large, but it looks quite domineering.
"Let's serve! Our guests are in a hurry. ”
In order to ease the atmosphere, she motioned to the maid behind her to serve the food, and the banquet at noon was very rich. With her other hand, she naturally grasped a glass with a small half glass of wine.
She raised her glass and handed it to the man.
She had already had a plan with Xiao Wu before-salute first and then soldier. Make a gesture, arrange a sumptuous hospitality, and make the man open his heart into an unsuspecting posture.
For the unkempt and hungry traveler, such as the one in front of you, it should be absolutely tempting.
"Wait."
The man slowly pushed the brim of his hat, stretched out a finger, shook it, and stood up lazily.
He walked straight to the queen as if there was no one around.
"Hehe, I finally spoke."
The queen had some childlike pride in her heart. She was snickering, and finally let him open his mouth first.
Seeing the man getting closer and closer, everyone immediately looked at him nervously, and the muscles of everyone's body tensed.
What does he want to do?
Even the two siblings who were originally sitting behind the man involuntarily took a cool breath and stared at him.
This is the devil's cave, the stronghold of the murderous and unblinking madmen, and on the other side is the fierce Joyna, all of whom are armed with weapons.
At this time, there was not a single sound in the hall. All eyes were on this man.
This mysterious man who had made them tremble, tremble, and be stunned.
Everyone's hands involuntarily touch the weapons!
