"I have seen two adults."

  The envoy who came all the way from Caesar left Hei Feng and his chief advisor utterly astonished.

  She was actually an exotic beauty with a foreign flavor.

  A head of golden hair curled on the top of her forehead, bright and piercing eyes filled with an unyielding spirit, a tall and beautiful figure in a warrior's attire appeared even more slender and handsome. A pair of long legs wrapped in tight trousers, perfect curves were visible at a glance, two men simultaneously swallowed their saliva.

  "May I ask how to address you?" As the host, Xu Haifeng naturally took on the responsibility of greeting the guests.

  "Kathryn-Rhine, are you the respected leader of the Black Flag Army, Lord Xi Hai Feng?" The woman gazed at Xi Hai Feng with an unyielding stare.

  Xu Haifeng was extremely curious, this girl was so bold, even the spoiled and arrogant Fang Yingying would have to yield three points.

  He smiled faintly, secretly concentrating his spiritual energy, his eyes gleaming like electricity as he looked at Catherine.

  As expected, the gaze that concentrated spiritual energy was absolutely unbearable for ordinary people. Although she was reluctant, Catherine involuntarily averted her eyes from Hai Feng's scorching gaze.

  "Hmph, Lord Xu is indeed formidable. Is it enough to just grasp the power of the mind?" Catherine snorted in anger and said indignantly.

  Xu Haifeng was greatly surprised, this woman although dressed as a warrior, her martial arts were not high, at most only comparable to Fang Yingying, let alone compared to Zhu Tangru, how could she see that he had already grasped the spiritual force in one glance.

  Seated beside him, Jiang Kongming suddenly burst out laughing and asked: "Miss Catherine, is Master Auben better now?"

  "It's okay..." Catherine replied casually, then suddenly came to her senses, raised an eyebrow, widened her two beautiful big eyes, and looked shocked.

  However, after just a few breaths, she burst out laughing and said: "What is this gentleman saying? Catherine doesn't quite understand."

  Her disguise was quick, but how could she deceive Xu and Jiang, they knew it in their hearts and didn't expose her.

  Xu Haifeng only then understood that Auben had hidden himself in the carriage of the Caesars. This is what they call being placed in a dead end and then reborn, the most dangerous places are often also the safest.

  However, Xu Haifeng did not intend to pursue the matter further. Even if he had grasped the whereabouts of Oben Shifu, what could he do? Could he still keep him behind?

  Without two or more top-notch masters joining forces to restrain him, who else could intercept a supreme master who has entered the realm of the ultimate?

  If Taiyi Zhenren is willing to take action, it may be possible. However, expecting him to take advantage of others' misfortunes is something that neither Xu Haifeng nor Jiang Kongming has ever thought of.

  Xu Haifeng smiled and said: "Miss Catherine has come from afar, but is it for the sake of Adis?"

  Hearing that Xu Haifeng no longer asked questions, Catherine secretly let out a sigh of relief and said: "That's right, I'm here to redeem Adis-Rhine for Caesar."

  "I heard that the surname Rhein is used by the second most prominent family in your country, next only to Caesar. I wonder if what you said is true." Chiang Kongming asked with a mocking expression flashing across his face.

  Catherine said: "Yes, Rhein is one of the oldest surnames in our country and has a supreme status."

  Jiang Kungming nodded at Xu Haifeng, and Xu Haifeng naturally understood his meaning.

  Catherine only said that Rhein is the oldest surname, and never mentioned Caesar, apparently dissatisfied with him in her heart. The contradiction between them may be difficult to resolve.

  "I wonder how much ransom Miss Catherine plans to pay?" Jiang Kongming asked seemingly carelessly.

  Catherine looked at him and said proudly: "This time I came to the Great Han, I brought a total of one million gold coins, which should be more than enough."

  "Hahaha..." Jiang Kongming laughed and said: "Gold coins? Our Great Han has abundant products, how could we lack such trivial things. Please ask Miss Katerina to prepare something else instead."

  Catherine apparently didn't understand his words, and there were actually people who didn't want gold coins. She looked at Jiang Kongming with suspicion and asked: "Then please tell me, what do you want as a ransom for Adis?"

  "Warhorses." Jiang Gongming took a sip of his fragrant tea and replied calmly: "I want ten thousand fine warhorses."

  Catherine's eyebrows gradually locked up, anger was crawling onto her forehead bit by bit. She barely suppressed the anger in her chest and said, "This is impossible."

  "In recent years, your country has been expanding its territory and destroying numerous nations. As the second-largest family, haven't you gained enough benefits? Is the only male heir of the Rhein family not even worth 10,000 horses?" Jiang Kongming spread his hands and said, "If Miss is not sincere at all, then we don't need to continue talking."

  Catherine's gaze at Jiang Gongming was filled with anger, if looks could kill, Jiang Da Junshi would have been torn to pieces by horses long ago.

  However, Jiang Kongming sat calmly in his chair, sipping tea as if nothing was wrong, treating Catherine, who was on the verge of a violent outburst, as if she were thin air that didn't exist.

  After a moment, Catherine finally turned her head like a deflated balloon, speaking in a voice still somewhat indignant: "Even if my family could fulfill your wish and gather so many horses, Emperor Caesar would absolutely not allow them to be sent out of the country."

  Xu Haifeng nodded secretly, if Caesar could allow you to send tens of thousands of war horses to the opponent who is about to fight a decisive battle, then he wouldn't need to be emperor anymore.

  "What is the relationship between Miss Catherine and General Adis?" asked Hai Feng, changing the subject.

  He had long heard from Jiang Gongming that Westerners' names were vastly different from those of the Great Han, with their given names preceding their surnames.

  According to the unified research results of those old scholars in the imperial court, these people are some uncivilized barbarians, which is why they have such a bad habit.

  "Adis is my brother," Catherine said, voicing an answer that Haifeng had long since guessed.

  "So that's how it is. Well, Miss Catherine, if we insist on exchanging horses, what's the most you can offer?" asked Xu Haifeng directly.

  Catherine hesitated for a moment before showing determination, saying: "Our family will do its best and can only send out two thousand war horses."

  She worried that Xu Haifeng would not agree, and immediately added: "Since Algrenon returned to Rome, Caesar announced the mobilization order, and war horses are all controlled military materials. I can gather 2,000 horses which is already the limit."

  "Alright, 2000 is 2000. When Miss He's horse arrives, your brother will be set free." Xǔ Hǎifēng nodded in agreement.

  Catherine curtsied and said: "Thank you, Lord Xi. I wonder if I could see my brother before I leave?"

  Xu Haifeng smiled and said: "That's human nature, how can there be any reason to disallow it? You're welcome to come visit anytime."

  Catherine's face showed joy and she thanked him again solemnly.

  Xu Haifeng knew her impatient mood at this time, so he ordered Zhe to take him to see Adis.

  Since learning of Adi's special identity, Xu Haifeng had specially prepared a set of rooms for him and assigned someone to serve him. As long as he didn't try to escape, the treatment he received was in no way inferior to that of Xu Haifeng himself.

  She was about to leave when she suddenly heard Jiang Kongming call out from behind her, "Miss Catherine, may I ask if your country's customs allow for the existence of queens?"

  Catherine was taken aback, unsure of the meaning behind his sudden question, but replied: "Yes, however, Emperor Caesar had three sons, all outstanding brave knights, and his throne should have been passed down to one of them."

  Jiang Kung-ming smiled and said: "I understand now, thank you Miss for your guidance, goodbye."

  Catherine nodded in confusion and left with Zhe.

  "General, what plan do you have now?"

  Xu Haifeng had been with him for a long time, so he wouldn't still not know that he had another one of his crazy ideas, which is why he would suddenly ask such strange and bizarre things.

  Jiang Kongming smiled slyly and revealed a strange smile, asking: "What does your lordship think of this woman's appearance?"

  "Can be called absolute beauty." Xǔ Hǎifēng commented sincerely, this woman is a foreigner, but she is stunningly beautiful and not inferior to the four golden flowers of the capital.

  "So, milord was not moved?" Jiang Gongming asked with a sly smile.

  Looking at his lewd expression, Xu Haifeng couldn't help but laugh. He was no longer the ignorant young man who didn't understand romance as he used to be. When it came to this kind of thing, what else was there to worry about?

  He also smiled and said, "What's the use of getting emotional? After all, this woman is from an enemy country, and it's inevitable that we'll meet on the battlefield in the future. If there's any entanglement, it will only lead to heartache, so it's better not to get involved."

  Jiang Kung-ming smiled but didn't say a word. Hsu Hai-feng knew he was up to something again and ignored him.

  After a while, Zhe returned to report.

  Catherine and her brother had met, but they were too far apart to know what they were whispering about.

  Although Zhebie had no intention of eavesdropping, the emotions of the two people were quite agitated, and even their voices were that kind of suppressed sharpness, making people turn their heads.

  Jiang Kongming smiled and said, "That Adis still has some backbone, he must not allow Catherine to send the horses to the enemy country. But his sister is also a very opinionated person, since she has made up her mind to save her brother, how can she easily give up? These two thousand warhorses are definitely ours."

  Xu Haifeng thought of Adi's character, and this situation was indeed very likely to happen. That Adi was trustworthy and could be considered a good guy.

  At this time, Tong Yifeng suddenly rushed in hastily.

  Recommend a fellow brother in the same group, a great work by a master, "The Thumb God", has already reached 1.5 million words, everyone go and show your support...
