Shangguan Xiu sat on the horse, completely ignoring the surrounding firearms, and only flicked his nails with a smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoA captain of the Besa soldiers stepped forward, raised his head to look Shangguan Xiu up and down, and asked, "Your Excellency is really Shangguan...... Duke Shangguan?"
"There is a fake exchange. ā
"Your Excellency is here to ......"
"Meet the Duke of Reina. ā
"This ...... Duke Shangguan, please wait a moment!" As he spoke, the captain glanced at his subordinates, then turned around and rushed back. He ran into the line of defense, and it was not long before a large group of Besa soldiers came out of the line, at least in the hundreds.
So many Besa troops surrounded Shangguan Xiu in three layers inside and three layers outside, their expressions were nervous and solemn, and they were on full alert, as if they were facing a great enemy.
After more than half an hour, the captain of the Besa soldiers who had left earlier ran back, waved his hand to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Duke Shangguan, please!"
Under the guidance of the captain of the Besa soldiers, Shangguan Xiu passed through the outer defense line of the city and came to the gate of Jinsk City.
At the city gate, there stood a large number of Besa generals and soldiers, led by middle-aged men, burly and majestic, wearing gorgeous silver helmets and silver armor, with large swords hanging from their ribs, and a bright red cloak on their backs, on which they were embroidered with a huge and eye-catching Reina family logo. Although he is now old, his face is already handsome, and it can be seen that when he was young, this person must be a rare beautiful man. Bai Plating means that hey, the eye brother closes the mouth and heart chapter
Looking at his age and the clothes on his body, as well as the majesty of the old residence that naturally exudes on his body, Shangguan Xiu can already guess who he is without asking.
When he got off the horse, the sound of cheering on both sides sounded instantly, and countless Besa soldiers picked up their firearms, pressed their fingers on the trigger, and aimed at Shangguan Xiu.
Shangguan Xiu didn't squint, and walked towards the middle-aged man in front of him.
Before he could get closer, the two Besa generals unsheathed their swords and crossed their swords in front of Shangguan Xiu. The corners of the latter's mouth were raised, and he didn't say anything, just looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
At this time, the middle-aged man was also looking at him carefully, Shangguan Xiu was far younger than he imagined, only in his early twenties, handsome and extraordinary, with silver sideburns and silver hair, hanging down on his chest, which was particularly eye-catching.
In his body, there is a sharp aura that people can't ignore, giving people a strong sense of oppression and impact, as if nothing in front of him will be ruthlessly shattered by him.
This feeling is very wonderful, Shangguan Xiu is just one person, and there are thousands of soldiers around him, but the momentum of the other party is not lost to him at all.
Shangguan Xiu really lives up to his reputation, he is bold enough and has enough momentum. The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly to the two Besa generals, signaling the two to retreat, and then, he took two steps forward and said, "Excuse me, is Your Excellency the Duke of Shangguan of the Wind Country?"
"It's down there!" Shangguan Xiu smiled: "Duke Reina, it's been a long time. ā
"Duke Shangguan knows me?" In Ed Reyna's impression, he and Shangguan Xiuke had never met. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "Although I have never met Duke Reina, I have met Ling Yuan. ā
Hearing this, Ed couldn't help but be secretly surprised, Shangguan Xiu had seen Hailey? How is this possible? Has Shangguan Xiu secretly been to Besa before?
He was feeling strange in his heart, Shangguan Xiu took off the package from the horse, opened it, took out a large piece made of snow bear skin in it, handed it to Ed, and said, "I think, the Duke of Reina is definitely not unfamiliar with this dress, right?"
When he saw this snow bear skin, Ed suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, his face had changed, and when he took the big one, turned it over and looked at it carefully, his face was even more difficult to see, his fists were clenched, and his body was suddenly trembling.
He was just about to ask, but Shangguan Xiu preemptively asked, "Is the Duke of Reina planning to discuss things with me here?"
Ed pressed the anxiety in his heart again and again, didn't smile on his face, but squeezed out a smile, turned sideways, waved his hand to Shangguan Xiu and said, "Duke Shangguan, please in the city!"
"Duke of Reina, please. ā
The two politely greeted each other, got into two carriages prepared in advance, and headed for the lord's mansion. Like most city-states, the lord's palace of the city-state of Kinsk was also converted from a royal palace, a castle located in the city of Kins, the whole building, large and high, looks solemn and majestic.
There were no words on the way, and I arrived at the Lord's Mansion smoothly. Shangguan Xiu and Ed, surrounded by many soldiers of the Besa Army, entered the main hall of the castle. In the main hall, there are long tables for meetings, with more than a dozen chairs on each side. The floor is carpeted and crystal chandeliers hang overhead.
Comparatively speaking, the lord's mansion of the city-state of Kinsk is not luxurious, and the various decorations are far from splendid, even the tables and chairs in the main hall look a little old and quite old. However, the frugality in the lord's palace does not mean that the city-state of Kinsk is poor, on the contrary, in terms of strength, the city-state of Kinsk next to Goro is one of the few large city-states in Besa, with a large population and a developed economy, and in terms of the amount of annual taxes, the city-state of Kinsk has never fallen out of the top three among the city-states.
Because of this, when he saw the somewhat humble interior of the castle, Shangguan Xiu not only did not underestimate Ed Rainer, but also admired him a little.
After sending most of the generals and officials away, leaving only his henchmen and personal attendants, Ed walked to the right side of the long table, waved his hand to the opposite side, and said expressionlessly: "Duke Shangguan, please take a seat!"
Now Ed is so anxious that he doesn't show his emotions on his face, and he has already used the greatest restraint. Shangguan Xiu walked to the left side of the long table and sat down. Ed lifted the snow bear skin and put it on the table, and asked, "Duke Shangguan, what does this mean?"
"Just as the Duke of Reyna saw it. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile.
Ed's heart sank, and he involuntarily leaned forward and asked, "Hayley...... Where is Hayley now?"
Shangguan Xiu was not 100% sure whether Hailey was Ed's daughter or not, but now that he heard him say this, he was completely relieved.
He said slowly: "Lord Duke, please rest assured, Miss Hayley's situation is safe now, but whether her situation will continue to be safe will not depend on her, nor on me, but on you, Duke of Reina!"
Ed is not a fool, of course he can hear Shangguan Xiu using Hailey to blackmail him. He narrowed his eyes, pretended to be calm, snorted coldly, leaned back, showed disdain, and said, "Duke Shangguan only wants to make me believe that Hailey is in your hands with such a large piece that can be bought anywhere, don't you think this is too child's play?"
Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Snow Bear Skin Dayu is indeed not a rare thing, but the objects from the Reina family must have a special mark of the family!"
He had just noticed that when Ed got the big one, he looked at it carefully over and over again, and then his face was unusually gloomy and ugly, so he judged that Ed must have recognized it as Hayley's clothes.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, the disdain on Ed's face disappeared, and his eyes stared at Shangguan Xiu without blinking. After a long time, he shook his head slowly and said, "Even if this snow bear is Hailey's, it doesn't mean that Hailey is now in the hands of Duke Shangguan, she should be in the ...... now."
"It should be in Gabri, right? It should be by Herakgs' side, right?" Shangguan Xiu interrupted him, shattering the little hope that Ed had left in his heart.
Before she ran away from home, Hayley left him a letter, in which she did mention that she was going to Gabr and to Heracgus. Now listening to Shangguan Xiu say this, he already believes in his heart that Hailey has indeed fallen into the hands of the Feng Army.
Shangguan Xiu no longer went around the bend with Ed, and roughly recounted how he rescued Hailey, and finally, he said: "It's me, the devil's cave that rescued Miss Hailey, and it's also me, the Xueping Mountain that I took Miss Hailey over, these days after getting along, I regard Miss Hailey as my friend, and because of this, I don't want to hurt her, just bring a piece of hers, is it, Duke Rena has to cut off one of Miss Hailey's hands or feet and hand it over to you for your eyes, so you can believe my words?"
"Don't!" Ed almost instinctively stood up, waving his hand to Shangguan Xiu with an eager face, and he said in a trembling voice, "Don't do it!" I believe...... I believe that Duke Shangguan's words are ......" After a long pause, he realized his gaffe, slowly sat back in his chair, pulled a far-fetched smile on his face, and pretended to be calm: "First of all, I want to thank Duke Shangguan for rescuing Hailey. Now, what Duke Shangguan wants, please tell me directly!"
Ed has a total of five sons, but only one daughter, Hayley, interestingly, none of the five sons look like him, but Hayley is the most similar to him.
Not only does she know him in terms of facial features and figure, but she also has the same temperament.
For this daughter, Ed can be said to be very fond of him, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, it is simply his lifeline. He had long believed that Hayley was his future successor, the new lord and duchess of the future city-state of Kinsk.
At this time, he held his breath and stared at Shangguan Xiu intently.
What the Wind Army wants most now, he knows very well in his heart, of course, he wants his side to give up resistance and surrender to the Wind Army.
If Shangguan Xiuzhen made such a request, he didn't know what he should do. Surrender to the Wind Army, King Peter will not let him go, he will die a miserable death in the end, if he does not surrender, Hayley will be killed by the Wind Army again, losing Hayley is worse than death for him, this is simply a game of death, no matter what choice he makes, the final result is not something he can bear.
Of course, Shangguan Xiu did not ignore Ed's nervousness, his eyes flowed with a bright brilliance, and he smiled and said softly: "I want Duke Reina......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and Ed, who was sitting opposite, involuntarily leaned forward and asked, "What does Duke Shangguan want me to do?"
