sleep forever

127 conflict

The sun was covered by the tall tree canopy, and the forest was extremely dark, and he could barely see the facial features of people half a meter away. At this time, the vulture-faced commander no longer had the composure and composure of more than ten days ago, and had lasted for more than a month. His fugitive life made him mentally and mentally exhausted. The beard stubble on his chin was as thick as hair, and his hair was full of oil stains, and even formed into strips. The clothes on his body were already torn.

The rest of his subordinates were even more miserable. The taste of the iron-blooded army in the past had almost disappeared, and their eyes were full of numbness.

If it weren't for the great hope in their hearts, if it wasn't for someone secretly funding them, this team would have collapsed a few days ago.Those mercenaries frantically searched for them all over the mountains and plains, to the point that they had to relocate their camps at least several times a day, and at night it was even more overwhelming. More and more people couldn't survive and fell behind, hanging behind like lone wolves Crazy mercenaries caught.

"Allies in the city... If you don't follow the plan, we will all be doomed." The commander murmured to himself with blank eyes, and at the same time squeezed a blister under his mouth and lymph in the subcutaneous tissue with his hands Liquid splashes everywhere.

In the city, Catherine was on her balcony.On the table in front of her were many exquisite desserts, as well as a set of luxurious wine sets.Jay went to the Society of Soul Thinkers to invite guests.The little guy stared greedily at the desserts on the table, swallowing his saliva from time to time, but she didn't dare to reach out without her mother's consent.

"Mom, let me eat one first. Big brother won't mind." The little guy finally couldn't resist the delicious food, and began to beg his mother.

"That can't be done. There is a reason why students eat before the teacher." Catherine gave her daughter a glare.

Woo... The little guy let out a mournful cry like a wounded animal. On his pure and lovely face, there was a charm that even adult women could not possess, which shocked people spiritually.Catherine secretly sighed in her heart. If she hadn't been pregnant in October, she would have doubted whether the girl in front of her was her daughter.She thought that her family's blood was definitely not so peculiar, and presumably this child should have inherited her husband's special blood.

Thinking of the word blood, Claude's words resurfaced in her mind a few days ago, followed by a vague sneer.

A footman came down and whispered something in front of her.Catherine's brows frowned, she let her daughter stay on the balcony, and she went downstairs with her servants.Outside the door, she saw Claude standing at the door with a few mercenaries. Those people had a hostility that ordinary people could detect.She gasped in surprise at first, and then she groaned in her heart, begging for help.

No matter whether the guess in my heart is correct or not, the reality I should face will not change.Catherine took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Now Catherine's body is almost better, and her body is getting plumper and plump, a typical image of a beautiful girl.When Claude saw her, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he returned to that superior look.He waited for Catherine to approach, and said first, "Long time no see, madam, you are more and more beautiful, and I am deeply intoxicated."

"Thank you for your compliment." Catherine made a noble salute and said with a smile, "Please come in."

Claude entered the house, followed by his guards.It stands to reason that the guards of ordinary guests cannot step into the door of nobles, and the special guards like Bai Min are naturally another matter.As a soul thinker and nobleman, it is impossible for Claude to be ignorant of this rule, but not only did he not stop his servants from doing this, or in other words, this may be his prior confession.

Catherine felt more and more that something was wrong, but her thinking circuit was too restricted, not only did she fail to draw any conclusions, but felt a dull pain in her brain.She quickly gave up thinking, invited the guests to sit down, and after boasting to each other, she asked Claude tactfully why he came.

Claude did not answer, but smiled: "Madam, I smell the aroma of pastries. Are you preparing for a family afternoon fruit wine party? I don't know if I have the honor to accompany Madam to taste delicious pastries and fruit wine."

"I'm planning to invite Your Excellency." Catherine smiled forcedly. She looked at the mercenaries behind Claude, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.She put her left behind her and made a few gestures without anyone knowing it. A servant saw her and quietly left the living room and turned to the direction of the back door.

Catherine and Claude soon appeared on the balcony facing the backyard on the second floor. The little guy sat upright on the chair, looking like a good child. Catherine smiled and walked forward to help her daughter wipe the corners of her mouth Frozen pastry that did not exist on the cake, pretended to be angry and said: "I am stealing again, I will punish you for endorsement and ask me to listen."

"Ah, I obviously wiped it clean." The little guy jumped up and moved his hands around his mouth. After a while, she saw her mother's complacent smirk, and she immediately understood: "Mom, what are you doing?" You actually lied to me..."

"You are too stupid." Catherine smiled cunningly.

Hmph, the little guy was a little unhappy, and soon she saw Claude standing behind her mother, her little face collapsed, she quickly hid behind her mother, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, why is he here. "

"Say hello to the guests first." Catherine tugged at her daughter.

The little guy came out, gave a very standard lady's salute, and then hid behind his mother.As soon as Claude came up to the sun, his eyes stayed on the little guy, and his eyes were full of a kind of moxibustion light. Catherine found out, and her brows frowned a little deeper. She felt more and more that something was wrong, but once Thinking that Jay went to the Soul Thinkers Association to invite Chen Xiansong, and the latter should be coming soon, he felt a little relieved.

"Your Excellency Claude, please sit down."

When Catherine asked Claude to sit down, the latter didn't respond, his eyes still stayed on the little guy, and he didn't react until Catherine raised her voice and said it again.This impolite behavior was caught, but Claude didn't show any embarrassment or embarrassment. Anyway, he continued to look at the little guy openly, and then turned his head and asked Catherine: "Ma'am, what happened a few days ago?" How do you think about my proposal?"

"It doesn't seem very good." Catherine sneered in her heart, but her face was full of embarrassment: "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong is Sisi's teacher, this matter was appointed by the association, we changed it without authorization, will it be okay?" not too good?"

"It's not the association's decision. It's just my teacher Suoxi's password. It's not something that can't be changed." Claude picked up the long-billed cyan crystal flagon, poured a glass for Catherine and Frances, and then Fill yourself a cup, raise the cup, gesture to the two women, one big and one small in front of you, take a sip first, and then continue: "Besides, I am a student of the teacher. Do you think I will ask the teacher for a student? How difficult is it?"

Catherine still had a troubled expression on her face: "I think it's better to discuss this matter with Your Excellency Chen Xiansong."

"No need." Claude waved his left hand angrily: "Qingxi City, my teacher has the final say, then the City Lord's Mansion, and then me. And Chen Xiansong is just a passer-by, so there is no need to discuss it with us." Qualifications, besides, Ms. Fuxisi...is an important talent in our clan, so we should naturally teach her, no matter how powerful Chen Xiansong is, he is still just an outsider."

"Big brother is not an outsider." The little guy jumped out and shouted to Claude: "I only want big brother to be my teacher, and no one else. I don't want to go with you, you leave our house quickly .”

Catherine said lightly, "Sis, sit back on the chair and be polite."

'oh! 'The little guy obediently obeyed his mother's orders.

After being yelled at by the little guy, instead of being angry, Claude looked at Frances with a bewildered look.Seeing such gazes, Catherine stood up, walked a few steps without a trace, completely blocked her daughter behind her, and said calmly: "Your Excellency Claude, you are willing to be Siss' teacher, I am very happy I am happy and honored, but between people, sometimes fate is important, Sisi and Chen Xiansong are very close, I think they are destined to become masters and apprentices, maybe this is the arrangement of the God of Light."

"The arrangement of the God of Light..." Claude snorted suddenly: "Ma'am, you are talking about Ms. Bai Min, you want to tell me that someone will support you... I admit that the servant of the Sun God is very strong, but Do you really think that the Temple of the Sun will become the backer behind Miss Frances? Madam, you probably don’t know that our family has some issues with the Temple of the Sun!”

"Anything can be worked out," Catherine said slowly.

"You mean to surrender and join the Sun Temple?" Claude seemed to have expected that Catherine would sing against him, and he didn't show any surprise: "Ma'am, your courage and determination are stronger than most men, you As a woman, it's a pity, but these skills must be based on sufficient strength."

Claude stood up: "Ma'am...we are going to take Miss Frances away now, offended."

Several guards behind Claude approached step by step.

Catherine saw that Claude was so tough, she hurriedly hugged her daughter in her arms, and at the same time sternly shouted: "Your Excellency Claude, please respect your identity, you are a soul thinker, if your teacher, Lord Suoxi, knows what you are doing, you Do you think he will forgive you? Besides, Sis is still young... Are you too anxious now?"

"Ma'am, I think you misunderstood something." Claude said with a smile: "We didn't take Miss Frances away because of her beauty, but I really hope that Miss will choose me to be her husband in the future, but no Now. She needs to learn and grow in a better, safer place that is more in line with her identity, and Chen Xiansong is not qualified to teach Frances."

Several guards came up step by step, and Catherine backed up step by step with the little guy in her arms until she hit the railing of the balcony.

There was no way to retreat, but Catherine's eyes suddenly lit up, because she saw three people appearing at the entrance of the balcony, they were Frances' exclusive guards, and Catherine shouted: "Leisho, you three, hurry up!" Come and protect Siss, these people want to kidnap Siss."

Claude glanced back, then smiled: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, these three are also members of my clan."
