Just when Xu Xincheng felt that everything in front of him was very unreal, and it could not be more beautiful, the carriage turned a small turn to the right, turned out of the boulevard with oak trees on both sides, and turned into a gravel road about seven meters wide. In the vineyards, rows and rows of vine trellises stretching straight into the distance stand on the trellises of lush vines, each of which is covered with large bunches of black grapes. And directly in front of the gravel road, under the blue sky, at the end of the road, there is a hill, and on the hill there is a gray-white castle.

Xu Xincheng felt that he should have traveled to Europe in the eighteenth century.

The carriage ran slowly along the gravel road, through the vineyards, and in his eyes the rows of trellises on both sides of the road were constantly receding, and then new rows of trellises were emerging from the front.

Xu Xincheng seemed to feel that his eyesight had improved a lot all of a sudden, but he quickly figured out the real reason, because the air here was extremely clean and his vision was wide, and he could see clearly several kilometers away at this time, so he felt that his eyesight had improved.

The carriage traveled for about fifteen minutes, and the hill before it became a big mountain standing majestically in front of him, at this time, Xu Xincheng saw clearly the appearance of the gray-white castle, the castle has two main buildings, one large and one small, from the rows of arched windows open on the city wall, it can be seen that the small one has three floors, the big one has five floors, the herringbone roof is black, there are many small protruding small herringbone lighting windows on the roof, and there is a pointed tower next to the small building, which should be seven stories high, which is the tallest building in the whole castle, and it should be the lookout platform used for observation in ancient times。

He likes to watch Mr. Gao Xiaosong's talk show, in one of the episodes, Mr. Gao said that before Germany completed the great cause of unification in 1871, there were thousands of small vassal states, and there were thousands of castles of all sizes, and a large number of castles are still intact to this day. Among the many well-preserved castles today, the most famous is Neuschwanstein Castle in the foothills of the Alps, south of Munich in Füssen. The castle in front of you resembles Neuschwanstein Castle, but it is slightly smaller than Neuschwanstein Castle.

At the foot of the mountain, the carriage once again walked into a tree-lined road, and walked on the tree-lined road for about five minutes, the front of the road suddenly opened up and brightened, Xu Xincheng saw two large green meadows on the left and right, and there were many horses on the grass on the left, they either lowered their heads to graze, or looked up, or frolicked and ran, there were white, black, brown, and jujube red. Xu Xincheng silently counted in his heart, there should be more than thirty horses.

On the right side of the gravel road there is a clear stream about three meters wide, and on the right side of the creek there is a very large meadow, which is very flat and smooth like a lawn on a football field, and it is obviously carefully manicured and repaired.

Xu Xincheng saw that there was only one person riding on this huge grass, the horse was tall, the pace was strong and powerful, the coat was black and shiny, shining black in the sun, and the rider was wearing black boots, white pants, black dress, top, and a black top hat, which was the standard attire for the riders participating in the Olympic equestrian competition.

Lucy and Albert said a word and told the carriage to stop. When the carriage stopped, Albert got out of the carriage first, and then, as when he first got into the carriage, with his left hand behind his back and his right palm raised high, he held Lucy's left palm and invited her to get out of the car. Seeing this, Xu Xincheng also got out of the car.

The rider saw the carriage and rode the tall black horse towards this side, which was coming this way with a beautiful rhythmic dance. The horse stopped not far from the creek, the rider turned over and dismounted, led the horse a few more steps forward, came to the stream, smiled very brightly and enthusiastically called out to Lucy, "Hi, Lucy great!" It has been a while.” ("It's so nice to see you again.") It's been a while since we've seen each other. ”）

Lucy lifted the skirts on both sides with both hands, squatted slightly, saluted the other party in return, and after getting up, smiled and said, "Hi, Anderson!It's so greatest to see you too." ("Hello, Anderson! It's great to see you again.") ”）

At this moment, the rider turned his head and said something in the ear of the black horse, and at the same time stroked the neck of the horse, and the horse bowed to Lucy, and then got up and looked up, and neighed a few times, and the rider said, "Lucy, you must still remember Joseph, right?" He just said hi， and it’s a great honor to meet you.” ("Lucy, you remember Joseph, right?") He just said hi and said it's an honor to see you again.) ”）

Seeing this, Lucy smiled slightly, lifted the hems of her skirts again, squatted slightly, and said with a smile, "Hi, Joseph. It is great to meet you too. It has been a year since we last met.” ("Hi, Joseph. It was also a pleasure to meet you. It's been a year since we met. ”）

Lucy stood up and smiled at the rider.

At this time, Xu Xincheng saw Albert respectfully take off his top hat, put it on his chest, humbly bowed slightly to the rider, and said, "Your Highness!" ("Hello Your Highness!")

Lucy said, "Anderson, please allow me to introduce my assistant to you, this is Steve. Steve， this is His Royal Highness， Prince Anderson.” ("Anderson, allow me to introduce you to my assistant, this is Steve.") Steve, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, Prince Anderson. ”）

Xu Xincheng knew that he was a nobleman such as a duke or marquis when he heard Albert call the rider "your highness", and after hearing Lucy's introduction, he realized that the other party was actually a prince.

Xu Xincheng hurriedly greeted the other party: "Your Highness!" It’s my great honor to meet you.” ("Hello Your Highness, it was a great honor for me to meet you.") ”）

Xu Xincheng knew that as a Chinese, he could not do the European bow, so while he greeted Prince Anderson, he crossed his hands in front of his abdomen and smiled and nodded slightly to the other party.

Prince Anderson smiled and lifted his top hat, nodded to Xu Xincheng, and then said, "Hi, Steve. It’s good to meet you.” ("Hi, Steve. Nice to see you. ”）

Prince Anderson and Lucy then chatted happily across the stream. Prince Anderson first told Lucy about his dark horse, Joseph, like his brother, about the awards he had won over the past year, and then the two chatted for a while about the weather, then about the vineyards, about the champagne and red wines made last year, and about his expectations for this year's champagne and red wines.

Xu Xincheng listened quietly from the sidelines, while looking at Prince Anderson carefully. Prince Anderson should be less than 30 years old, about 1.85 meters tall, tall and straight, with naturally curly short blond hair, a water-chestnut zigzag face, blue eyes, and a tall nose bridge. Xu Xincheng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen reports about him in foreign media before, but he was very little interested in such reports, so he didn't read them carefully, and only had a very vague impression of him.

After the two chatted for about ten minutes, Xu Xincheng noticed that Albert gave Prince Anderson a look, and Prince Anderson looked at the watch in his hand, and then said to Lucy slightly apologetically: "Lucy, sorry for keeping you here so long. Please go have some rest， and I am looking forward seeing you at dinner.” ("Lucy, sorry! I'm here to delay you too long.") Please go and take a break, I look forward to meeting you at dinner. ”）

“Thank you! Anderson. See you at dinner.” ("Thanks!Anderson.") See you at dinner. ”）

So, Albert helped Lucy into the car again, and only got into the car after asking Xu Xincheng to get into the car as well. The coachman waved his whip, the carriage started slowly, and Lucy waved goodbye to Prince Anderson, who once again took off his top hat, bowed slightly, and stood by the brook with his black horse as the carriage drove in the direction of the castle.
