Charlie, a sturdy foreign man, Marshall with a rapier on his waist, and Black with a heavy sword all stood in front of the hall and communicated in low voices.
The conversation between the three warriors suddenly stopped until a foreign man with a plain appearance strode in, passed through the wall of three people and sat on the main seat.
The shortest of the three standing men was over seven feet tall, and Blake, the tallest and tallest, was only about half a head shorter than Wei Kui. He was considered very tall among foreigners, but the man in front of them was only seven feet tall.
He was about a foot tall, about the same as He Nan, but his build was quite strong, far beyond what He Nan's chicken-like figure could match.
"Lord..." Charlie protected his chest with one hand, took half a step back with one foot, bent his upper body and saluted the man on the seat in a weird posture, and spoke in a strange language after receiving a positive nod from the other party.
He said: "It has been almost seven days since Song was captured, and we still haven't received any news about him."
"It seems that the other party's information blockade is still very thorough..." The man he called the lord tapped his fingers on the table, "What about Mr. Song's assistant, Mr. Di?"
"Di was released yesterday. After learning about this, I immediately went to visit his house, but his mental state was very bad..." Charlie replied, "A little crazy."
Charlie paused and continued: "According to what Di said, he did not meet Song in prison and did not know what Song went through. He simply talked about his own experience - if he did not exaggerate,
I think he is lucky to be alive."
"According to what he said, he was subjected to inhuman abuse. The other party used more than a dozen kinds of punishments including waterboarding, needleboarding and torture to force him, and some of these punishments I have never even heard of... and he was also tortured because of this.
Severe torture resulted in insanity."
After listening to Charlie's story, the lord felt a little strange - didn't Sheng Guo regard "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust" as the basis of education? However, from the experience of Di Shiyuan described by Charlie, he did not feel the so-called benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust at all.
Existence. He himself has been in Shengguo for a long time, and he also has some study and understanding of etiquette and justice - for example, his subordinates all call Song Wuyan the abbreviated "Song", but he always insists on using Song.
Such an honorific as Mr.
"Knight Marshall, are there any new developments on your side?" The lord turned his head to the thin Marshall again.
There was a wry smile on Marshall's pale face: "Lord, I'm afraid I'm bringing you bad news..."
The lord's expression was not displeased at all, but became a little happy: "Don't be so depressed, Knight Marshall. There is an old saying in Shengguo - a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. If we can predict the bad news in advance, then in the future
It’s always a good thing to be prepared before something bad happens.”
Marshall shook his head slightly and said: "I detected that in addition to the guy who retreated with one against three that night, there is also an equally good player... This is a difficult piece for us to crack.
Tough to move."
After listening to Marshall's introduction, the lord's expression finally became serious. Marshall was a man who couldn't lie. He said that the other party had such two generals, so they should not be underestimated. It seemed that how to deal with it was really difficult.
things.
"Is there more than one master like this in this small Xuanyang County?" the lord said to himself. Regarding what happened that night, the lord later learned about the whole process from his three subordinates. He originally thought that this was the case.
The three of them dealt with the uninvited guest with ease and did not come forward. Unexpectedly, the three knights came back with a lot of money and allowed the other party to escape unscathed.
There was silence among the four people in the lobby, and Blake, who was originally active and good at playing tricks, rarely said anything funny.
Suddenly a gust of fragrant wind blew from the door, and a beautiful woman with a charming face walked into this quiet place. She walked straight to the lord, stood beside him and asked earnestly: "Jia
Officer, the guy in our house hasn't come back yet?"
This beautiful woman was naturally Song Wuyan's wife, but her finger poked the lord's arm gently.
Her coquettish behavior aroused the lord's displeasure, but he did not go too far. He just frowned slightly: "Mrs. Song, let me say it again, you can call me Sir Jabbar, not anything else."
Nondescript Jia Guanren."
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's father's title is that of a viscount, and as the eldest son of the family, he will inherit his father's title in the future, so it is not a bad idea to call him "Sir". However, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has always been uncomfortable with his father's small wealth.
He was very resistant to the idea of enterprising and thought that he could not be satisfied just because of the title of Viscount, so he came to Shengguo to develop and look for some opportunities to strengthen his power. Through the chamber of commerce formed by foreigners on the territory of Shengguo, he could
It is of great benefit to him to fully learn and absorb multiple cultures.
And he is also different from most of the foreigners who came to Shengguo. Most of his companions who are familiar with him have received favor and preferential treatment from some Shengguo people because of their special status as foreigners. In addition, because of their financial resources as merchants,
As a result, they all lived a very extravagant life here, and their lustful traits were gradually exposed. As a man, Jabbar inevitably has a heart for love, but he knows very well that indulging in simple desires is a departure.
I have my original intention, so I have always exercised restraint in this regard.
Not long after Jabbar moved into Song's house, he noticed that Mrs. Song's attitude towards him was quite ambiguous. However, as one of his capable men and partners, Song Wuyan, out of respect for him and interests,
Jabbar has been pretending not to know about this, and Mrs. Song tried her best to maintain his attitude of pretending to be deaf and dumb.
However, Mrs. Song is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She knows that her husband Song Wuyan, who appears to be a good man, is actually just a pawn for these four foreigners, so she seduces the highest-ranking Jabbar again and again.
After repeatedly running into obstacles in front of Jabbar, she shifted her target to Charlie, the most handsome of the four foreigners. Charlie did not have the majestic ambition and firm will of Jabbar. He followed Jabbar to Shengguo just to
Wealth and women, since there was no reason to refuse the fat meat that came to his door, he hooked up with the free-spirited Mrs. Song. The two often had private meetings behind Song Wuyan's back, and Charlie often boasted in front of his companions.
Although Barr knew about this, he could still tell the difference between the familiar and the distant. After many attempts to persuade him to no avail, he had no choice but to let Charlie go.
However, looking at the current situation, Mrs. Song still did not miss any opportunity to contact Jabbar. Although Jabbar's tone was already very stiff, she still smiled pretentiously: "The slave family has prepared some midnight snacks for several officials.
, it seems that several officials are also tired, they might as well have something to eat and then go to bed."
The knight did not give this charming woman a good look, and his words showed a little sullenness: "Mrs. Song, we appreciate your kindness, but we have some important matters to discuss, please trouble you.
Get out of the way." After saying that, Jabbar stretched out a thick arm and pointed at the door of the hall, making a "please" gesture - even though this was in the Song residence, Mrs. Song was the nominal hostess here.
, but the actual controller is still the lord.
Facing Jabbar's expulsion order, although Mrs. Song was unhappy in her heart, her face was still as bright as a spring breeze: "Since Jabbar...sir has said so, the slave family has no choice but to leave first." Mrs. Song did not stay too long.
Her lover Charlie looked at each other and turned away.
Charlie was watching the enchanting Mrs. Song go away. His mind was completely distracted by this woman's exquisite figure, but his attention was brought back by Jabbar's heavy cough: "How long has it been?"
Are you thinking about your nonsense?"
Charlie turned his head and sneered twice at Jabbar: "Lord, this woman is indeed rare..."
"Hmph..." Jabbar scolded disdainfully: "I don't need to pursue the shady things you do in normal times, but at this moment you are still thinking about that woman?" Jabbar's eyebrows were already twisted.
Yiteng seems to be holding back his anger - he can allow outsiders to do some stupid things, but the frivolous attitude of his subordinates undoubtedly offends him, which also shows that he is usually too indulgent towards his subordinates.
Ineffective discipline.
"You heard what Mr. Marshall said, right? The opponent has more than one master. The three of you are at a disadvantage against each other. If the opponent's two masters attack with all their strength, you will have no choice but to wait for death. Especially you, Charlie.
, you were the most injured in that short battle, and you even became the opponent's breakthrough point."
He has undoubtedly removed himself from the ranks of "waiting for death". In fact, he does have this qualification. The Viscount, who has been ambitious and self-controlled since he was a child, will certainly be more accepting than his knights who are of commoner origin.
He has received a better education, and he has worked harder than these companions in practicing fighting techniques.
In fact, many children of high-ranking nobles are not as indulgent in leisure and entertainment as rumored. On the contrary, they will receive better elite education. The more powerful and profound the family is, the more they will strictly restrain and cultivate their own people.
, only by making them better than others can the family be more prominent - although the Sheng Kingdom and the foreign countries in the West are different in many customs and cultures, including education methods, there is no difference in this point.
Hearing the rebuke from the lord he was loyal to, Charlie lost his composure. He bit his lip and lowered his head to admit his mistake. Although he looked the most handsome, his strength was the weakest among the four. He had the same physique.
Black is the strongest among the three knights, but Marshall, who is thinner, works as hard as their lord Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - this can also be seen on the night of the battle with Yan Chunlai. Although Black was teased by Yan Chunlai, he was also teased by Yan Chunlai.
It was rated as "no chance of winning", but in fact Yan Chunlai was also a little afraid of this fierce man, otherwise he would not have used words to arouse his anger; and in horizontal comparison, facing Yan Chunlai's flying knife situation, Charlie also seemed to be unable to do what he wanted.
, after all, his companion Marshall shot down the flying knife easily, but he was hit by the attack.
"In fact, neither you nor Mr. Song, even my life is insignificant. Only the interests of the entire Chamber of Commerce are the most important. If these people disrupt the plans of the Chamber of Commerce because of us, what are your suggestions?
Can life be compensated?" It must be said that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is indeed an outstanding leader. After sternly warning Charlie, he lowered his status in his words, which created a sense of solidarity among his subordinates.
, and then emphasized the importance and common interests of the Chamber of Commerce in a simple sentence, gathering the will of the entire team.
"What the lord said is that my subordinates will obey your teachings!" Not only Charlie, but also Marshall and Black standing aside saluted Jabbar. It seems that Jabbar's brief words also inspired and warned them.
dual role.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to tell you, let's get back to the real business now." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar knocked on the table, "My plan is this..."
