Chapter 37: Jack. Du Fang
Looking at the leaves, I didn't know how to explain it, so I could only smile and say, "I'm not kidding you." β
Ye Zi blinked and said, "Do you think my uncle will agree?" β
I spread my hands and said, "Actually, he's no different from a rogue, so why care about a name?" β
Ye Zi pondered: "Then it is even more impossible to agree, the more uncompromising in adversity, this is our family's style, if he wants to give up, I will be surprised." β
I laughed and said, "You have a very high opinion of your family." β
Ye Zi smiled and stopped talking.
I said, "Somewhat, you'll have to try, and if he agrees, we'll save you trouble." β
Ye Zi said inexplicably: "Then again, is a name really that important?" β
"It's not important to you, it's not important to your uncle now, but it's important to your peopleβthink about it, since you knew me, what has been developed according to common sense?" So you have to trust me! β
Ye Zi pondered for a long time, bowed his head and remained silent.
The car drove for a while, and Hanks said, "Princess, it's almost there." β
Ye Zi subconsciously shrank into the saddle, and I asked her, "What's wrong with you?" β
Ye Zi said: "I'm going to see my uncle...... I was a little nervous. β
I couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you scared? "From the day I met her, I always thought that this girl was not afraid of anything, I clearly remember her calm performance when the killer sneaked into her room on the day she first arrived in China, the first thing that is certain is that she is not afraid of death, she can play those celebrities and rich people in the palm of her hand, dare to take a group of rookies and terrorists around, at this moment, she is actually afraid?
Ye Zi said: "It's not that I'm afraid, I can't tell you clearly...... Maybe it's a little embarrassing. β
I was relieved and said, "It's like a pair of brothers fighting for the family's property? β
Ye Zi said thoughtfully: "It may be a little more complicated. β
I wondered, "I always thought you hated him." β
Ye Zi shook his head slightly and said, "I really should hate him, but to be honest, I can't hate him a little." β
I looked at her in surprise, and neither of them spoke.
Our car gradually drove into the suburbs, and in the distance we could see a high hill, which was probably the entrenchment of the militants, that is, the source of disaster for the Fuga Kingdom - the gold mine!
The history museum was built in the suburbs because of the special geography of the Fuga Kingdom, and in its center, there were often pastimes such as cinemas and libraries, and places like the history museum could only be built here, and adults could drive their children here in their leisure time to quietly remember the history, which is actually a good idea.
Hanks pulled up in front of a heavy building with a green surface and ivy-covered lows, and turned back and said, "Princess, it's here." β
"You stay in the car." Ye Zi commanded, got out of the car first, and I hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.
Although the Fuga Kingdom is not very old, the history museum is still very tasteful, as if it has witnessed many vicissitudes of life, but the dusty cars parked in front of it spoil the scenery, and outside the car, a few old-fashioned militants in mixed costumes are blatantly carrying guns covered with strips of cloth, smoking cigarettes, no matter how you look like thieves who have come to rob.
I accompanied Catherine up the steps, the gang just raised their eyelids and continued to smoke, Ye Zi came to the door of the museum, and an old foreigner with a scar on his head pretended to give a salute and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess-"
Seeing that this person was familiar, I stared at it for a while and suddenly said, "You're not dead yet?" β
This man was none other than Prince Jack's personal bodyguard: Sheldon, the guy who had me hit my head with my BMW on the day Ye Zi left China.
Sheldon didn't expect to see me in this place, he was startled when he heard me speak, looked at me resentfully, wanted to say something and finally held back, and then said to Ye Zi in a fake way: "Princess, please." β
Ye Zi glanced at him coldly and said, "I'm not a princess anymore!" β
Sheldon was speechless, and when we walked in, he closed the door from behind.
The place where we are is is the hall of the museum, which is unusually spacious, the hall is surrounded by ancient books, armor and the skeletons of various primitive animals that are imitated in glass, the dome is more than 30 meters high, the middle of the hall is empty, and people in the middle have a feeling of being hit by history.
In the middle of the room was a huge round table where Arthur and his round-table warriors were meeting, with only two seats left on the side, and in the seat facing us, a middle-aged man with a black beard sat peacefully, with two black bodyguards standing behind him, with revolvers ridiculously stuck in trouser belts, looking like drug dealers from the favelas of Brazil......
The middle-aged man heard the door open, and his eyes stared at this place for a moment, at the same time, Ye Zi also looked at each other intently, the two people looked at each other, Ye Zi strode forward, and the middle-aged man also got up immediately, I followed Ye Zi nervously, I don't know what kind of actions this pair of enemies will make here and now.
The two met at the table, the middle-aged man was accustomed to opening his arms, Ye Zi leaned up, wrapped his hands around each other's waists, put his chin on his shoulder, Ye Zi called softly: "Uncle...... The middle-aged man is really Jack. Du Fang.
I didn't expect this to be the scene of the first meeting between the two uncles and nephews, who were supposed to be enemies anyway, and I thought that with the wisdom and ability of these two people, they would sarcastically mock each other as soon as they met.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I took a good look at Jack, who had thick hair mixed with some gray beard, a narrow face, and a dark beard, and I suddenly realized that Jack and Huns were indeed very similar in appearance, but their temperament was very different: Huns was kind and dignified, and Jack was like an energetic beast. His eyes twinkled, his movements were swift, like a hunter who had determined that his target was slowly diving, ready to pounce and bite the throat of his prey. Also, he has the same dark eyes as the leaves......
Jack and Ye Zi hugged each other gently, then took a half step back and kissed Ye Zi on the forehead, he held Ye Zi's shoulder and looked at this radiant niece, and his expression couldn't help but flash a trace of pride and pity.
"How many years have we not seen each other, Catherine? When they read the cover of your magazine, they all say that you are beautiful, and these people really should meet your real person and say this. β
Ye Zi smiled indifferently: "Uncle is still so handsome." β
I don't intend to be surprised that Jack also speaks native Chinese because of the leaves, the country obviously has quite complex ties with the Chinese, and I take it for granted that people like Jack will not be stumped by a language.
After a hug, two polite words that were not completely perfunctory, the two began to be silent, after all, this is not an old overseas Chinese confession, the two now have a special identity, a special relationship, and a special time and place, I can see that Jack loves him very much - at least he loved this niece very much before, and Ye Zi also loved her Uncle Jack, so the current scene is as Ye Zi expected: very embarrassing!
In the end, it was Ye Zi who took a step back, and Jack's expression immediately darkened, and he smiled lightly: "Sit down." β
Leaf looked at the chair and then at me, and said to Jack, "Only two chairs?" β
Jack pulled out his chair and sat down as a matter of course and said, "Yes, it's just the two of us sitting here." β
I smiled at the leaves: "It's okay, I'll stand up." β
Ye Zi didn't say more, he sat down, the two of them were silent for a moment, and Ye Zi took the lead and said: "Uncle, while we are sitting here, it seems that the people of our country are suffering, especially the people of a neighborhood. β
Jack said, "Catherine, you don't have to worry about these things. β
Ye Zi said: "It doesn't make sense, that's my people." β
Jack put his hands on his chin and said with interest, "Oh, your people? β
Ye Zi did not give a step and said: "Yes, our country, my people!" β
Jack digressed the topic and said, "You didn't come to watch me on the day I ascended the throne. β
Ye Zi said: "You didn't come on the day I ascended the throne, uncle-"
Jack laughed, his expression a little helpless, as if he was looking at a little girl who asked him for candy, and he said, "I hugged you when I was a child, Catherine." β
β¦β¦ It's coming, it's finally here, I know that it can't be so breezy for these two masters, you listen, an uncle and a Catherine, called closer than anyone else, but the implication is not to recognize the other party's throne, and the words are traps all over the mountains!
I stood behind the leaf and said, "That...... I'm sorry to interrupt Prince Jack, 'I hugged you when I was a kid' is grammatically correct, but it doesn't logically work, you probably haven't seen Her Majesty Catherine when you were a child. β
Jack didn't expect one of my retinues to dare to interject casually, after all, this is the Fuga Kingdom, and even if he is not recognized, he is still a prince, in this top duel of power and power, he didn't expect to be able to beat me like this......
But Jack is Jack after all, he saw that Ye Zi just smiled but didn't make a sound, and generally judged that I was not as simple as an ordinary entourage, so he looked at me seriously after being stunned for a moment, probably just noticed my eastern face, Jack reluctantly smiled: "Catherine, you are still so Ren, you only brought a bodyguard to meet me?" β
Ye Zi also smiled: "I believe that my uncle will not hurt me, and besides, he is not my bodyguard, he is my friend." The leaf turned to me and said, "Don't stand all the time! β
"Huh." I looked around, and saw a gorgeous table under the glass case opposite, and ran over to take the little Elizabethan bench and put it down, and sat down beside the leaf, and then looked triumphantly at the two negroes behind Jack, who glared at me and turned their heads away......
The two of us sang this double reed, and Jack was even more confused, he re-examined me, and suddenly said, "You are the friend that Catherine met in China?" β
I owed a slight debt and smiled, "That's me." β
"You were the one who went to save her in a hot air balloon?"
I hesitated, "It's still me." β
Jack tilted his head and said in relief, "Then you can sit down - I give you this right." β
Ye Zi said: "His rights are not given by you, and you have no right to give rights to anyone, and the natural human rights are still what you told me - let's go back to the question just now: if my uncle still loves our country, please stop destroying its peace." β
Jack scoffed: "Country? Do you know how to govern a country, Catherine? β
"I don't understand." Ye Zi said categorically: "But I love it, and I am studying hard." β
Jack said leisurely: "You haven't changed at all, you are still the little girl with a simple surname, obviously a country is not a burden you can bear." β
"I'm not small anymore, and I'm bearing it, you can see how I'm doing if you look at public opinion."
"That doesn't mean much," Jack said, "the truth is often in the hands of a few." β
Ye Zi said excitedly: "Then you tell me what the truth is?" Is the truth that the country has become a miasma and the people are miserable? β
Jack paused slightly, "That's only temporary." β
Ye Zi said: "Maybe you're right, I'm not suitable to be a king, and I always think that my uncle is more suitable than me, so I've been hiding abroad all these years, living a life that even looks down on me, in order to let you ascend to the throne, don't you understand these uncle?" β
Jack was silent for a while and said, "But why did you come back anyway?" β
Ye Zi said loudly: "Why did I come back?" Look what you've done - what the hell are you doing with a bunch of scum and hooligans stealing our wealth and bullying our people, Jack! β
"Shut up!" Jack slapped the table angrily and snapped, "What am I doing?" Admit that you are naΓ―ve, Catherine, all you see is the innocent and romantic side of your little girl, is our country really as beautiful as you say? Just because, as you said, we are rich and happy, I don't know how many people are jealous of us, our people are bullied in foreign countries and have nowhere to defend themselves, other countries will always sell us twice as much as others, our fishing boats are actually driven away in our own territorial waters, and foreigners are powerful in our land! β
I was stunned and said, "You didn't mean me, did you?" β
Jack was furious: "Everything I do is to change reality!" Do you think that sitting on this throne is enough to accept flowers and worship? β
Ye Zi also said loudly: "What have you changed?" Our treasures are being lost by every second! The mighty ones have been replaced by the bandits you found! Innocent people are implicated in what should have been our business - which bastard had the idea of taking hostages? β
Jack listened to the last sentence and suddenly said like a deflated ball, "It's not my ......"
Ye Zi said softly: "That's good-the reason why I came to meet you is because I know that you still love this country, which is also the bottom line for you and me, if it weren't for that, you would be nothing to me." And now, I'm happy to know that my uncle hasn't changed. β
Jack shouted and shouted, his emotions seemed to be vented, and then he gradually calmed down, he looked at the leaves and said: "Believe me, the lack is only temporary, give me some more time, gold and diamonds we have, as long as we are willing to pay a little, we will get more things......"
Ye Zi smiled and shook his head: "No, uncle, you are wrong!" You may have a unique vision in politics, but I have been dealing with human greed all these years, and I know better than anyone what will happen next - there is no end to the **** of robbers, and when we are barren, they will leave, and it is impossible for you to try to make them strong for us! We were bullied before, but there was another way to solve it, but it wasn't like raising a bunch of hooligans at home! β
Seeing that Jack didn't speak, Ye Zi said, "Uncle, I'll do the restβyou abdicate!" β
