"Huh?"

Seeing these two volumes of calligraphy and paintings, Du Zhong's eyes were all the same, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

Ode to the teacher and sketch of rare birds are one of the 11 national treasures snatched from China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

These two national treasures are absolutely priceless.

No wonder Theodora said that.

"How?"

Seeing Du Zhong's surprised appearance, Theodora immediately grinned and asked, "Our Ludwig family's thank you gift is not bad, right?" ”

"I accept this thank you."

Du Zhong grinned.

From the very beginning, he thought that helping the Ludwig family to investigate clues and interrogate them was to help Theodora do things, and it could be regarded as fulfilling the promise he promised the other party step by step, and he never thought about the reward.

Unexpectedly.

This kind of easy solution actually made him get this unexpected joy.

This is a national treasure!

The national treasure who was exiled abroad can finally return to China.

Here, Du Zhong is excited about getting two national treasures, and the Ludwig family is already quietly tracking down the poisoner.

The next day, early in the morning.

"Eucommia?"

Theodora's shouts came from outside the door.

"Click."

As soon as he got up, Du Zhong, who was about to go out for morning exercises, opened the door directly and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'll tell you to have breakfast."

Theodora laughed.

"Forehead ......"

Du Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better go out to eat, I can't get used to your family's breakfast, and that atmosphere is really a bit depressing." ”

"Okay, I'll go out to eat with you."

Theodora said immediately.

Du Zhong was stunned for a moment and asked, "You don't have to accompany your grandfather to breakfast?" ”

"No, you don't."

Theodora shook her head.

Hearing this, Du Zhong nodded and stepped out.

He wanted to go out alone, observe the terrain of Frankfurt, and by the way, inquire about the surrounding forces, but he didn't expect that Theodora actually got up earlier than him.

The two of them chatted as they walked.

Escorted by the family, they headed all the way to the city.

"By the way, how's the investigation of the poisoning?"

On the way, Eucommia asked.

"There is new progress."

As soon as he heard Du Zhong mention this, Theodora's expression suddenly became solemn, and he opened his mouth and said, "I also received the news in the morning, and under the tracking of the family, I finally locked on the target. ”

"Yes."

Du Zhong nodded, indicating understanding.

There is no intention of continuing to ask.

After all, this was a matter for the Ludwig family, and the reason why he asked was just because he was bored on the road, so he just asked casually.

"That target, you're familiar with."

Suddenly, Theodora spoke.

"Me, familiar?"

Du Zhong was stunned.

"That's right."

Theodora took a deep breath and said, "It's those black-robed people I met on the Tianshan Mountains in Huaxia. ”

"Is that them?"

Du Zhong was stunned.

He didn't expect that this matter would be related to the black-robed man.

"It should be certain."

Theodora nodded in the affirmative.

"I didn't expect it......"

Du Zhong's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that the big devil's plan is not small, and he actually started to lay out in Europe five years ago." ”

"I didn't expect that either."

Theodora said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Du Zhong shook his head and smiled.

He wasn't overly involved in this matter anyway, and it had nothing to do with him from the beginning.

It is impossible to say that you don't care.

After all, the Great Devil is also Du Zhong's enemy.

However, since this matter involves the Ludwig family, there is no need for Du Zhong to intervene too much, and can only secretly follow the development of the situation in his heart.

Under the protection of the guards.

Du Zhong and Theodora had breakfast in the city of Frankfurt and walked around again before returning to the castle.

At night.

There was no dinner in the family, for everyone was waiting for the evening, the birthday dinner of Old Man Sein.

Stayed in the room until about seven o'clock in the evening.

Du Zhong left the room and walked towards the venue where the dinner was held.

The venue was held in the castle hall, and the guest room where Du Zhong stayed was on the side of the castle.

Step out of the room.

From a distance, Du Zhong saw that the entire castle was decorated with golden splendor, all kinds of colorful lights were unusually colorful, and the sound of salutes was endless.

"It is worthy of inheriting the nobility."

While walking, Du Zhong secretly sighed: "It's still these foreigners who can play." ”

A dinner party can be held so luxuriously.

If it is in China, it is not luxury, but lively.

Walk to a place twenty or thirty meters away from the main entrance of the castle.

"House Child, Ross here!"

In the distance, a shout came.

This was followed by various announcements.

"The Childs?"

Hearing that shout, Du Zhong's footsteps paused.

The Childe family is a prestigious financial family in Europe and even in the world, which originated in the early 19th century, and successively opened banks in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and other famous European cities, establishing the world's largest financial empire at that time.

In its heyday, the Childe family had the power to turn the clouds and rain, and even the royal nobles of Europe were willing to bow down.

Even today.

The world's major gold markets are also controlled by them.

Such a powerful family actually came to attend Old Man Sain's dinner?

In the opinion of Eucommia.

The strength of the Ludwig family stems from his inheritance and the title of eternal nobleman, and it is precisely because of this that the Ludwig family will move from the road of powerless to the development of force.

It can be said that although the Ludwig family of hardware is a giant in the shopping mall, their real strength is their force.

For this kind of family, it is impossible for the Childe family, who do not have enough force and only money, to have such a good relationship with them.

In other words, the Childe family, like the Ludwig family, is not as simple as it seems.

Between thoughts.

Du Zhong came to the door of the hall.

The person guarding the door of the hall glanced at Du Zhong, and immediately raised his voice and shouted.

"Now, Du Zhong is here!"

As soon as the announcement spread, a strange scene suddenly appeared in the entire hall.

At this moment, there are already a lot of people in the hall.

The moment when the name of Eucommia ulmoides sounded.

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look at the smiling young man who had walked into the hall alone.

"Who is this man?"

"From the mysterious ancient country of the East, from China?"

"Haven't you heard of such a person?"

"Strange, what is this person doing here?"

"An Oriental can actually attend Mr. Sain's dinner, and someone specially informs him of his name?"

The crowd was talking.

After all, in the eyes of these big families, Du Zhong, an ordinary young man, is really a little inadequate.

However.

Just when everyone was secretly talking about eucommia.

In the hall, Theodora, who had been accompanying the old man of Sain, suddenly let go of the old man's hand and greeted Du Zhong with a smile on his face.

This scene made everyone look sideways.

Theodora is a princess?

None of them, the princes and nobles, came to greet them, and Du Zhong, a young person, could actually let Princess Theodora come forward to greet him personally?

The hearts of the people were not angry.

"MD, who is this kid?"

In a corner of the hall, three young men in luxurious dresses gathered together, staring at Du Zhong with jealous faces.

"Actually let Theodora meet him personally?"

"Theodora is ours, why is he so affectionate with Theodora?"

The three of you said one sentence at a time, and the emotions became more and more inflated.

"Let's go, kill his majesty, let him know that this is our territory, don't beat the crooked brain."

One suggested.

The other two immediately nodded.

Just as Theodora was taking Du Zhong and walking towards the old man Sein, three young men suddenly jumped out and lined up to block Du Zhong and Theodora's way.

"Theodora?"

A young man shouted with a smile and said, "Tell us about it, right?" ”

"His name is Du Zhong."

Theodora pursed her lips, turned her head and whispered in Du Zhong's ear: "These three are the sons of three large families in Frankfurt, you be careful." ”

"It's your suitor, isn't it?"

Du Zhong smiled indifferently.

Walking in front of the three of them, he said very gentlemanly: "Hello, I am Du Zhong. ”

"Hello, hello."

One of them stretched out his hand to Du Zhong.

Du Zhong was also not polite, and directly shook it with the other party.

Just shake your hand.

Du Zhong immediately felt that the other party actually had a bad idea and held it very hard, as if he wanted to make him ugly.

But.

These three people are just ordinary people and don't have any strength, so their strength can be completely ignored for Du Zhong.

The man who shook hands was crazy and hard.

Even his expression became unnatural because of the excessive force.

But even so.

Du Zhong still showed an indifferent smile, without the slightest pain.

Looked at.

The man was immediately stupid.

He knew that this time he had kicked the iron plate, so he immediately wanted to let go.

It's a pity that it's late.

Just when he was about to let go, Du Zhong, who had not used any force, suddenly grabbed his hand, and while gently exerting force, he opened his mouth and said, "It's nice to meet you." ”

Eucommia behaved as an extremely gentleman.

But the other party, under Du Zhong's casual force, his face instantly turned red.

A piercing pain made his face change greatly.

I want to pull my hand but can't pull it back, I want to shout but I'm afraid of losing face.

I have no choice but to endure it.

Fortunately, Du Zhong didn't make a heavy hand, just pinched it for a few seconds, and then let go of his hand.

"Fack!"

The moment Du Zhong let go, the other party immediately retracted his hand and stretched it into his trouser pocket, and he could faintly see that the other party's arms were trembling.

"Mr. Du Zhong?"

At this time, another person stepped forward and opened his mouth and said: "This is the dinner party of the Ludwig family, and those who are not high-ranking officials and nobles are not qualified to come in, since Mr. Du Zhong can come, it means that Mr. Du Zhong must have a very amazing background, right?" ”

"That's what I thought, too."

The third person smiled and said, "I don't know what industry Mr. Du Zhong is in?" ”

"My background?"

Du Zhong grinned and opened his mouth to say: "Let everyone laugh, I come from a family of Chinese medicine in China." ”

"Chinese medicine?"

The guy who was pinched and hurt deliberately raised his voice and opened his mouth to say: "What is Chinese medicine, is it the one with the least status in China...... Jianghu Langzhong? ”
