Chapter 157: Warning
"I ......" Facing An An's questioning, Long Xin'er stopped talking, she didn't want to escape from everyone, but she didn't know how to look directly.
Sister Hongmei said: "Miss Long, it's all this time, what are you still hesitating about?" What else are you going to hide? Xiao Han almost gave up his life for you. ”
"I know, I know." Long Xin'er covered her face with her hands and muttered to herself, and Uncle Wei also said on the side: "Miss Long, I know you may have something unspeakable, but what happened today is not trivial, who is the person who attacked Xiao Han?" You don't have to worry, now that you are on Paradise Island, you are not in the Dahua Empire, as long as you tell the truth, the big guys can find a way to solve it together. ”
At this moment, the Governor of the island, James, walked in with someone, he looked at all of us, and then asked people to take Long Xin'er away, Uncle Wei stopped him and said, "Lord Governor, Xiao Han hasn't come out yet, where are you going to take Miss Long?" ”
James said dissatisfiedly: "Even the Duke knows about today's incident, I want to take her back to investigate, why is there any problem?" ”
"Yes, there is no problem, but can you let us ask the situation first, and then you can take the people away?"
"Joke, when did the Empire give you the right to investigate and interrogate? You guys should take a good look at Han Dong here! ”
After coming to the Governor's Palace, James retreated left and right, then sat on a chair with his legs on the desk, and said to Long Xin'er with a gloomy face: "Miss Long, this matter is not small today?" ”
Long Xin'er sighed, "I didn't expect the situation in Dahua to change so quickly. ”
"What does that mean? Don't tell me that you can't keep what you promised me. ”
"This, it's hard for me to answer you right now, I have to send someone back to find out the situation right away."
"I don't care what you do, but if you don't keep what you promised me, I'll be very angry. You must know that I have bet all my treasures on you, even to the point of offending Sandro and the Duke, and if you make me pay a heavy price, then I will definitely make you pay the same price. ”
In the face of James's warning, Long Xin'er's expression was complicated, and after thinking for a long time, she said to James: "You don't have to threaten me, even if you kill me, you can't change what has happened." The first thing you have to do now is to keep an eye on the people who attacked Han Dong, and never let them leave Paradise Island, and if possible, it is best to let them never leave. ”
"You're talking about it!" James snorted coldly twice and said: "Lord Duke already knows about this matter, the one who took the lead has been interrogated by Lord Duke, I don't know what his identity is, whether he can let him leave or not, only Lord Duke has the final say." ”
On Jackson's boat at the dock, the middle-aged man stood in front of Jackson with a tied knot, Jackson looked him up and down for a long time, and slowly asked, "Who are you?" What is the relationship with Long Xin'er? What did you do on Paradise Island? ”
The middle-aged man said in the face of Jackson: "I am from the Dahua Empire in the East, and I am the commander of the Dahua Empire's Prison Department, and Long Xin'er is the only daughter of the eighth prince of our Dahua Empire. ”
"So you're fighting on the territory of my British Empire, seriously injuring two citizens of my Empire?" Jackson asked coldly.
"They are to blame, I want to take the county lord away, they forcibly obstruct it, if it were in our Dahua Empire, we would have been put on death row long ago."
"But I have to warn you, this is the territory of the British Empire! It's not your Dahua Empire! ”
"And what are you going to do with me?"
Jackson suddenly changed his seriousness again, and said with a smile: "First of all, of course, send someone to verify your identity, if you are really a high-ranking official of the Dahua Empire, then I will naturally report to the Imperial Cabinet, and secondly, it depends on the final injury of the person you injured, and then punish you according to the laws of the Empire, it will take a lot of time, so you may have to be wronged to work hard in the cell of Paradise Island for a while." ”
"Then I also kindly remind you that this matter is not a big deal, you just need to let me bring back the county lord and today's matter will end here, but if you have to make a big fuss, I'm afraid the final result is not something you and I can control."
"Presumptuous!" Jackson scolded, "I am the dignified Duke of the British Empire, the Secretary of State of the British Empire, even if your eighth prince stands in front of me, you have to be polite when you talk to me, you dare to be so arrogant as a small commander!" Do you really think I'm afraid of you? ”
"Naturally, you won't be afraid of me, I just have one thing to say. By the way, before I came, the prince was afraid that my trip would have some twists and turns, so he sent two warships to come with me, those two warships are in the outer waters of Paradise Island, if you rush over at full speed, it should not take an hour or two, in addition to five hundred soldiers, the battleship is also equipped with more than a dozen guns. ”
"What!" Jackson didn't expect the middle-aged man to have reinforcements, he frowned and said, "What? Do you want to go to war with our British Empire? ”
"That's not true, it's just that we want to bring back the county lord, two warships may be nothing to the British Empire, but it shouldn't be difficult to capture this paradise island, right? Of course, we don't want any conflict with your country, that's why we docked the battleship so far, and I hope you can see our sincerity. ”
Originally, Jackson wanted to find out Long Xin'er's true identity through the middle-aged man, but he didn't expect this guy to actually bring soldiers, if there is a conflict now, it will be difficult for the island escort and the guards he brought to resist the attack of two heavily armed warships, even if it is reported to the parliament afterwards, or even to the queen, the empire should not go all the way to launch an expedition for this matter.
Thinking of this, Jackson said to the middle-aged man: "I don't care how many warships you brought, as long as they enter the waters of Paradise Island, it can be equivalent to a war against my British Empire, and your Dahua Empire also sends ships to the west all the year round, I must know how strong my British Empire is, and the relationship between the two countries has always been good, so I advise you to think twice." ”
Seeing that Jackson's attitude had eased, the middle-aged man also lowered his posture a little, and said, "What you said is extremely true, it is precisely for unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings that I only brought a few guards to the island. We dealt a little harder, but those two men did not lose their lives, and in order to apologize, we are willing to pay some gold and silver as compensation. ”
"Well," Jackson nodded, "if so, it's negotiable, but I want you to tell me what the true identity of the Dragon Maiden is?" What did she come to Paradise Island for all this time? ”
"The county lord is the county lord who has no other identity, she stayed here only because the prince assigned her a marriage before, and the county lord was reluctant, so she made a fuss."
"Isn't that right? As far as I know, there is more than one prince of your Dahua Empire, so many princes' children are not one thousand but eight hundred, if the dragon girl is just an ordinary county lord, you will be so prosperous? ”
"You may have mistaken information about this, my Dahua Empire doesn't have so many Baylor County Lords, and besides, two warships can't talk about a lot of people for our Dahua Empire."
Although Jackson knew very well in his heart that the identities of this middle-aged man and Long Xin'er were definitely not as simple as they said, and Long Xin'er must have some ulterior motives on Paradise Island, but he had no way to make them show their feet for a while.
