Chapter XXXVIII
The setting sun left the last afterglow on the windowsill, Shen Lang put his feet on the Huanghuali desk, leaned on the soft sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate, he was too excited last night, suddenly his slightly closed eyelashes trembled, and the dragon hidden black knife inserted in his waist also trembled, Shen Lang's eyes opened and closed slowly, and he felt a murderous intention.
A man in a black cloak flashed in, silently like a ghost, hiding behind the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and gently opened the curtain with a long sword, he looked at Shen Lang who was in a comatose state, and his face hidden behind the canopy showed a grim smile, such an oriental pirate, without the slightest vigilance, also needed me to deliver a letter.
The black-cloaked man felt that it was better to stab him to death with a sword, his body was violent, and the slender and snowy long sword stabbed out, only half a foot away from Shen Lang's throat, and the corners of his mouth were raised higher.
The cold light reflected Shen Lang's face, and the motionless man suddenly stretched out two fingers and clamped the tip of the sword.
The corners of the cloak man's mouth suddenly widened from tall, his face became more and more pale, and he stabbed forward, who knew that there was endless resistance in front of him, and he couldn't enter a bit, and then he hurriedly retreated, and wanted to pull the sword back, but he didn't move at all, and the cloaked man reacted quickly, and immediately let go, and his body retreated.
The cloaked man retreated to the window, and was about to leap out of the window like a great bat.
In a flash of cold light, a short sword flew out, pierced the cloak, and nailed him to the window, where his body hung.
Poof! Due to gravity, the cloak man's clothes were torn and fell, and Shen Lang flew out with two short swords, finished in the shape of a griff, so that the cloak was fixed.
The cloaked man didn't dare to move, knowing that his opponent intended not to shoot him, and then he heard a lazy voice.
"Friend, your skills are not bad, you were able to dodge several dark whistles, came to my meeting hall, and immediately gave up if you missed a hit, and reacted quickly enough, but it's a pity that you met me. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm a messenger, and I'm not convinced by what those people say about you, so I took the liberty of making a move, hoping to let me go. "The cloaked man used the language of the Ming Dynasty.
"It depends on your performance. Shen Lang stood up slowly.
"Can you put me down first?" the cloaked man pleaded.
"And it said, 'There is a lie, that I will cut off thy robe. Shen Lang showed a strange smile.
"Okay, I said it, those old ghosts, it's really hateful!" the cloaked man scolded for a while, his head drooped down, revealing a brown-red curly hair, glanced at Shen Lang, and continued, "Have you heard of the Field family?"
Shen Lang shook his head, he really didn't know much about some families in the Western Country, the coyote he killed in Relanza City last time seemed to be from this family, and threatened him that if he killed the coyote, the ancestor of his family would never spare Shen Lang.
"You killed a direct descendant of their family, you got into huge trouble! His family is an ancient family, all over the Western Kingdom, and even controls the power of the royal family, the most important thing is to have werewolf blood, once transformed, the strength is amazing, you can deal with the direct descendants of his family and kill them, which shows that you have some strength, but with the huge power of their ancient family, fighting them is looking for death. Mr. Shen, you are really capable of causing trouble, not only offending the ancient Field family, but also offending the vampire Desai family and humiliating the women of their family, you are really too long, vomit! I'm so dizzy, can you let me go first?" The cloaked man said for a long time, his mind was a little congested, and his pale face turned red.
"Go on!" Shen Lang's tone could not be refused, his face remained unchanged, and he took out a short sword and played with it carefully.
"Yes, yes, this time their family sent me to give you a war letter, inviting you to meet in Malacca City and talk about how things will be resolved, if you don't go, they will kill your lair, it's easy for werewolves to tear apart an ordinary person, and vampires can have a full meal at night. The cloaked man fumbled, took out two letters from his body, folded them and threw them to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang stretched out two fingers to catch it and opened it, which read: Your Excellency Shen Lang of the Ming Dynasty, please go to Malacca City on June 3 to discuss the matter of my clan's children being killed by you, and I am waiting for you in Malacca City. Signed on April 15 by the head of the Spanish branch of the Field family, Pickup.
Another letter is from the Desai family, with a bat emblem on the envelope, and the letter reads: Your Excellency Shen Lang, you have humiliated our saint Lorena in the city of Geranza, that is, you have humiliated my noble Desai family, please go to Malacca on June 3 to discuss compensation, if you do not come, our Desai family will set foot on your lair and use it as our hunting ground. The inscription is Desai Vinson, dated April 10.
These two letters can be said to be a challenge, and they are also very insidious, they come to recruit the first salute and then the soldiers, I don't go directly to the door, give you a little face for Daming, if you don't go, they can go to the islands under Shen Lang's jurisdiction to do whatever they want, there is no reason to go directly like this, or they are afraid of the behemoth Daming behind Shen Lang, and they don't want to go to war with Daming, and the country behind them is not allowed to start a war so early, Daming is too powerful, and it is too far away from here, fighting is to fight resources, they can't afford to consume it, for the bandit country, just be able to encroach on some benefits, and they can't afford to lose their capital。
Maybe they don't know the current situation of Daming, if they knew that Daming was worried about foreign troubles, they would have killed Butterfly Island a long time ago.
Shen Lang felt that he was in trouble, he had offended the two oldest and most powerful families in the West, and neither of them made him unbearable, but he didn't show a very scared look on his face.
"What's your name, why did you listen to them send him to do such a trivial thing?" Shen Lang grabbed the cloaked man, tore him in, and threw him on the floor.
"Mr. Shen, my name is Pete, an unknown thief, mainly unconvinced by those old fellows, saying that the island owner's mansion in Palembang is so impermeable that even a seabird can't fly in, I bet with them that if the letter is delivered smoothly, they will give me a large sum of money, but I didn't expect that I missed. Pete the Cloaked Man said.
"Pete, you're pretty good at sneaking into my hall, and if you hadn't tried to plot against me, you'd have gotten a lot of money when you got back. Shen Lang smiled.
"Mr. Shen, I'm still not convinced, they said that you are too powerful, you gamble and lose, what are you going to do with me?" Pete asked worriedly.
"The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed, but if you intend to offend me, then stay and eat in prison for a few days, and when the time comes, I will send you back to your hometown. Shen Lang put his feet on the desk, lay on his back and clapped his palms, called the guards, and a few guards came over to take a look, and there were more Westerners in the Hou Ye's meeting hall, and they were all dumbfounded, and immediately knelt down.
"Master Hou, it's all to blame for the unfavorable protection of his subordinates, let people take advantage of the situation, and his subordinates should be damned!"
"Okay, forget it this time, the opponent is too cunning, you put him in the dungeon, don't embarrass him, lock him up for a while, and teach him a lesson. ”
"Yes, Master Hou. "Four guards escorted Pete away, and each of them kicked him a few times, and the man almost cost them their jobs.
Pete was kicked with a painful face, screaming constantly, knowing that he couldn't escape in front of Shen Lang, so he didn't resist, to see if he could find a chance to escape when he was in the cell.
