Chapter 5: Shakin: Angels and Demons

The warriors of the Morris family and the two leaders were in front, followed by the Hidden Eyebrows and the Earl, and finally the two lighthouse guards with rifles. They were escorted like prisoners to the upper floors of the tower, with several gun barrels aimed at them on each floor.

When the sixth floor arrived, Xia Jin was waiting in front of the living room with a smile, if it weren't for the countless boards that were bright or dark, it really gave people the illusion of participating in a family reunion.

The lighthouse guards closed the door as they entered, and stood with guns on either side, one aimed at the Earl and the other at the Hidden Eyebrow. The living room is equipped with chandeliers, armchairs, tapestries, coffee tables, wine cabinets, ceramic vases and much more. Yin Xinmei just went in and glanced at it, except for feeling that there must be a mystery behind the tapestry, there was no sign of other mechanisms when he first went through.

"What flavor of coffee do you like?" or," Shakin opened the wine cabinet, "We also have our own wines." ”

"Madam, let us open the skylight and speak brightly," said Count Gwen, bowing, as if not seeing the hand handed to him by Xia Jin, "I dare not kiss your hand, nor drink your wine, although you are so beautiful that I lose my soul, but I am more afraid of death, and while we were talking, and the gentleman at the door pointed a gun at my head unhappily, I was so frightened that I lost any appetite at all." ”

The Earl's meaning was obvious, but no one could be angry.

Xia Jin smiled and said, "My fault." She gestured, and the guard at the door immediately lowered the muzzle of his gun and stood facing each other, his piercing gaze no longer following the Count and the Hidden Eyebrow.

The Count winked, and the warriors of the Morris family immediately rolled the two human flesh cloths on the floor, and Shakin frowned.

"Are they still alive?" she asked.

"For the sake of Madame's face, I gave them my life. ”

Xia Jin didn't seem to be happy, so the Count sat down on his own, and motioned for Yin Xinmei to sit beside him, "Madam, although our two families didn't deal with each other well in the past, they haven't fought each other for three years, what made you so unhappy, and let these two bastards rape poor Tani, and it was at the Duke's bow banquet, why don't we spread out all the contradictions and take care of them, how about it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Shakin didn't answer the Count's words, but sat across from her, staring at her with an unpredictable smile, "I didn't expect you to fall in love with Duke Gondelore so quickly and marry him, I heard that you were in another country not long ago." ”

"Since Madame knows everything about the situation," Hidden Heart Mei decided to use the same tactics as Xia Jin: avoiding answers, starting from another conversation, she felt that since Xia Jin used it, then it must be a good idea, "You must know that I am from VIA, and you will understand that I don't know you much more than you know me." As soon as Xia Jin heard those three words, his face really changed, but then he showed a contemptuous sneer of disbelief.

"Then I'll have to listen to what kind of image I am in Idile's mind. She leaned back slowly, her eyes narrowed and her brow narrowed.

"Madam, you have reached an agreement with the former crown prince of Jalal, first you captured a key informant under Captain Infant White a long time ago, and later, you and your employer sent two groups of people to ambush the stone chamber, but your plan was ruined by me who was unaware at the time, and as a result, the emperor did not die, but Infant White was innocently implicated; then, you used the same means to go to the third military camp camp and kidnap the eldest prince Belen and Prince Wen, from what I heard at the time, it should be the same person in the stone chamber, this person is particularly good at using lantern shields, and then a few days ago, you provided the information from the long-term surveillance test to these two leadersEncourage them to infiltrate the Wave-Riding Lion, which will confirm the accuracy of your spy on the warship, and disgust the Morris family, lest they go to the sky happily because of the bow feast. Am I right, ma'am?"

Yin Xinmei stopped to carefully observe Xia Jin's expression, the charming blue phoenix eyes only flickered for half a second, and then she snorted lightly with a calm sneer.

"You know a lot more than I do, and that only says a thing," Shakin sighed as he lowered his head, "I do have too many fools under my men. However, Yin Xinmei," seeing that she no longer pretended to be and called her by her first name, Yin Xinmei felt much more comfortable, "Putting aside whether your information source is correct or not, even if you do? A reporter from a garbage tabloid has the ability to do this." ”

"Ma'am, I hope you don't forget," replied the Earl in place of the Hidden Eyebrows, "it was your men who infiltrated the Wave Riding Lion and raped Idile's dowry-maid, which is tantamount to the cannon opening the door of Morris's house and throwing the handkerchief in the duke's face," the Count propped his elbows close to Shakin, "and when you think of this, you have no reason to be so justifiable, do you? Doesn't the polite attitude of sincere apology make you even more beautiful on the outside?"

Xia Jin's face changed drastically, and for a moment the hidden eyebrow seemed to feel that she was glaring at the guard at the door, the earl and the hidden eyebrow instantly straightened up, and put their hands in a defensive position; maybe the two of them reacted too quickly, maybe Xia Jin remembered the lightning arrow of the hidden eyebrow before, in short, she was no longer full of anger, but showed a humble and gentle smile.

"Have pity on a woman who has been alone for a long time, I have almost forgotten how to behave with proper manners, and the Count is right, Idri, and accept my apology. Is there anything I can do for you? Tell me, if I can, and I haven't sent you an engagement gift yet, do you prefer diamonds or rubies?"

Faint frowned quickly exchanged glances with Count Gwen, and she said, "Of course I accept Madame's apologies, but I have little interest in jewelry, and since Madame is so sincere in giving me an engagement gift, it is better to give me the three hostages, which is not difficult to do, as far as I know, they are in this lighthouse." ”

Xia Jin suddenly seemed to have been struck by lightning, and the shock and anger in his eyes forgot to hide it. She tried to hide the anger in her heart with a relaxed smile, but it was not easy to do.

"Ahem, ahem," Xia Jin propped his hands on the coffee table, his chest seemed to be out of breath, "I'm sorry, I've been a little tight, this low air pressure - you go out and let people bring the turtle soup hot, cough, cough······ Excuse me, but where did we just say?"

The Earl and Hidden Brow watched the guards at the door go out with alarm, and watched them bring back a maid with a plate not long after, and did not feel at ease until the guards were back on their feet.

Xia Jin took a few sips, perhaps because the hot soup brought her comfort, or maybe because she had already made up her mind, she put on a charming smile again, "It's a bit unexpected for Idile, but I'm happy to hand over all the hostages to you, since you know everything, you must know that killing Seser is my purpose, and the hostages are not in my plan at all, because I have to wipe my butts for my clumsy men······"

Yin Xinmei didn't expect her to agree so quickly, and she was overjoyed, but as soon as she remembered the earl's previous words, she instantly sobered up, because Xia Jin was not a good talker no matter how she looked at it.

"But," Sure enough, there was a twist, and Yin Xinmei had no choice but to continue listening, "but before that, I want to avenge myself." ”

"Have we wronged Madame?" asked the Earl, with a sarcastic tone, pretending to be surprised.

"Believe it or not, I did not instigate these two men to spy on the Lion, let alone assign them to do such a thing as blasphemy and insult to women, I swear to the two of you, I have no knowledge of it. Besides," Xia Jin said sincerely, "this matter is not good for me at all, it is completely harmful to others and not to myself, and I have no need to do it at all." ”

Yin Xinmei and the Earl glanced at each other, Xia Jin was right, this matter did not benefit in the slightest except for the Udini family. Are they really overguessing on this?

"And I have a witness. ”

"Witness?" said the Count and the Hidden Eyebrows, surprised.

Shakin reached out and pressed the bell on the table, and within a few minutes, a man lying on a stretcher was brought in.

The visitor had difficulty breathing, his chest rattled, his neck was swollen more than normal, and his eyes bulged out, as if they were about to fall out in a few more blinks.

"Quincy?!" the Count couldn't believe his eyes. First Reading Network

"Since everyone knows each other, then I don't need to introduce him, wait," Xia Jin looked at the hidden eyebrows with a kind smile, "Does Idrilai know him?"

"I don't know anyone······ But I know the name Quincy. She swallowed hard.

"Good. Shakin looked down at Quincy and kicked his arm, "Quincy, since everyone knows each other, then we won't be polite, I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you have to answer honestly." You know what?"

“······ Know, know ······" He seemed to be one step closer to death with every word he spoke, and he even suspected that he would choke his breath after he could not answer a few words.

"I ask you, Quincy," Shakin paced, "are these two men out of the archipelago for a long time, and are they all personally assigned to them by you?"

“······ Yes, yes······"

"Did you mean that they were spying on the Wave Treading Lion, because you had been trying to provoke a war between me and Remassa?" ”

Quincy didn't answer.

"Quincy, I'm asking you! Answer me!" Shakin began to raise his voice.

Quincy still didn't answer.

Xia Jin took out a delicate little pistol from behind his waist, and the Earl and the hidden eyebrows jumped up at once, and pulled out their weapons at Xia Jin! The two guards at the door also drew their guns and aimed them at the two of them with lightning speed.

"Quincy, answer my question honestly-" Xia Jin gritted his teeth and roared at Quincy, as if he didn't see the Count and Hidden Heart Eyebrow's shots and crossbows aimed at him, "Is it you? I'll count three, three-"

"Bah!" Shakin shot Quincy in the left knee, and he let out a piercing scream.

Hidden eyebrows trembled, and even the Count couldn't act as if nothing had happened.

"Two—" Shakin growled.

"Bah!" Two shots in quick succession hit Quincy, one in the right knee and one in the left arm, and blood flowed all around him.

"Three-" The muscles on Xia Jin's face twitched, indicating that the gunfire was about to go off.

"I said, I said!" Quincy screamed, desperately moving his only right arm, as if trying to roll behind the couch and hide, "I did it, I did it! I sent them to spy on the Morris family's ship, in order to frame Madame!"

"Good. Xia Jin slowly lowered his gun, "Did you also instruct the two of them to defile the bride-in-waiting, because you want to give the Duke a slimy, bloody and filthy gift?"

Quincy was silent again.

Shakin raised his gun again.

"It's me! It's me! It's all me! It's all me! Oh my God······ Please, please don't do this again······" Quincy was crying, the stretcher was smelly and wet, and he pulled up his pants.

This man who once thought he was suave was not human at the moment, lying on his own blood and excrement, and he felt that his current appearance was really better than death.

Shakin threw the small pistol out of the window, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "This gun is against this nasty embryo, not the Count and Editery." Now that you've heard him, you should trust me, right?"

"I believe you're a ghost. Yin Xinmei nodded against his will, but in his heart he secretly thought that this woman was simply a demon.

What a mistake God made when he created man, why did he match such an evil and vicious ugly soul with such a beautiful face and such a brilliant mind?

However, when Shakin disarmed, the atmosphere became less tense, and the Earl, Hidden Eyebrow, and the guard at the door withdrew their weapons again, and she had Quincy and his men carried them away, and cleaned up the filth left on the floor.

"Since Madame has taken the two leaders we brought with us," the Count returned to the subject at once, acting as easily as Shakin had just killed a mosquito, "can I understand that you will exchange hostages with us at once?"

"Of course," Shakin went from a murderer to a gracious and charming hostess, "but—"

"But what?" the Count and the Hidden Eyebrows both glared at him angrily, and a sneer hung on the corner of the Earl's mouth, "Madame's just now was not a special example for us to show the chicken, right? ”

"You misunderstood," said Shakin, who didn't seem angry at all, and said with a smile, "I can only give you one hostage at the moment, the informant of Infant White, who was delirious when we intercepted her, and who the Udini family has been taking care of this poor person for most of the year, and as for the other two, they are not currently in the lighthouse, and I will take you to the Botanical Garden tomorrow to pick them up— By the way, there are a lot of tricks in the botanical garden, and if you trespass without notification, you may end up worse than the Quincy who sowed discord. ”

"Good. The Count said.

Shakin lifted the tapestry, and sure enough, there was a recessed doorknob inside, and she twisted it a few times, and a wide door opened. Yin Xinmei saw a long corridor, with the clear sound of wheels rolling and echoing from inside, and not long after, a woman in a small black dress pushed a wheelchair out of it, and the long, messy, lifeless face on the wheelchair was unexpectedly familiar—

"Baby, baby's white?!" Yin Xinmei shouted in shock.

"It's Infant White's sister, Infant Mo;" Xia Jin gently stroked the pale face, "the youngest and most talented disguise expert on the Continent of Velogosa······"
