Chapter 206: Fear and Help
"Your Excellency, Marquis, look, they are coming."
"Domus, let's get ready, remember that the other party is not only the guest I invited, but the status is even more extraordinary, and it is best not to make mistakes."
………
There is no endless road in the world, although the manor is big, there is always an end to the road, and in the end, everyone arrived at the center of the manor with that uneasiness...... In front of that luxurious building.
It was different from what was expected, because the guards at the gate had gone in in advance to report, as soon as they arrived, there was already a group of people waiting in front of the building, the ground was covered with a red carpet that would only appear in person with prince-level nobles, and a number of guards were erected on both sides of the road.
Soon, the group walked to the opposite side of the carpet, and looked around, in addition to the guards on both sides, there were also two men standing at the door, a middle-aged man and an elderly man, the old man looked really not young, his hair was gray, and the years had left a deep mark on his face, it was estimated that he was at least 60 years old, wearing a neat black dress, and from his obvious standing behind the middle-aged man, he could further see the identity of the old man, this should be a housekeeper, an old housekeeper.
As for the other middle-aged man, he was much more gorgeous in terms of dress, in addition to wearing a red luxurious dress, the shiny leather boots and the aristocratic sword carved with patterns on his waist all confirmed the identity of the man.
The identity of the middle-aged man is self-evident, but when everyone saw this marquis with blonde hair and aristocratic majesty for the first time, some sharp-eyed people found that the moment the middle-aged man saw a group of executors, his originally calm face instantly flashed a trace of surprise! No, not only the Marquis himself, but even the old butler behind him also showed a similar expression, others may know where the surprise of the two came from, but the Marquis of Mel and the old butler Domus, who had seen a certain scene not long ago, knew it themselves, because ......
Because neither of them thought that the Oriental guests in front of them would look like or even the clothes they were wearing...... It's exactly the same as the wax statues in the wax room on the third floor!!
It's hard to believe, how can this not surprise the two who have experienced the strange changes in the wax room? Originally, the two of them didn't understand what the wax figures of the Oriental strangers that appeared in the wax room in addition to the wax figures of all the people in the manor meant, but it was not until they saw the group of orientals in front of them at this moment that the marquis and the housekeeper suddenly discovered that the appearance of these oriental guests was exactly the same as the wax figures of the orientals on the third floor, so that even the number of people was not bad at all!
Why? Why is this happening? What the hell is going on?
Is it a coincidence? It can't be, if it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental, can such a thing happen in the world?
At the same time, don't look at the strange look on the face of the Marquis of Mel for a moment, but it is still noticed by some of the executors, especially He Fei, who was faintly aware of the fleeting stunned expressions of the Marquis and the old butler...... The marquis must have known something that many of the executors did not know at the moment, and the decision was made in his mind:
(It seems that in addition to Lisa, who is suspected to be the Marquis's daughter, the Marquis himself is also a key figure who can obtain important clues in order to solve this incident.) )
Of course, the shocked and puzzled, seeing the arrival of the guests, the Marquis of Mayer, who knew the identity of the other party, quickly recovered from the shock, and hurriedly walked in front of Ye Wei with a smile on his face, first looked everyone up and down a few times, and then introduced herself to the beautiful oriental woman in front of him in a respectful tone: "The Marquis of the First Class of the British Empire, Crammer, is also the owner of this Halton Manor, may I ask, ...... Are you Her Royal Highness Princess Zhu Wei of the Ming Empire, who came here from thousands of miles overseas? ”
As a veteran who understands history and has experienced strong winds and waves, although he does not know much about the etiquette of ancient European nobles, after all, Ye Wei, who has seen the world, still shows the same smile to the middle-aged man who is not surprised, and then nods and replies in the same polite tone: "Hello Your Excellency Marquis, I am Zhu Wei." ”
After that, he took the lead in bowing down to Marquis Chao Meier and performed an ancient Z country woman Wanfu ceremony.
Seeing that the other party nodded in acknowledgement, and saw the other party saluting him, how dare Marquis Mel slack off? As soon as Ye Wei finished his salute, he hurriedly bent down and made a standard European aristocratic salute to Ye Wei, in addition, in order to show his status as a noble gentleman, he also pulled Ye Wei up and kissed the back of his hand.
After saluting each other, as a nobleman, Marquis Mel of course knew how to say polite words, ignored the people around him, and said to Ye Wei with a smile: "Haha, although I have never been to the Ming Kingdom, but today I have the honor to meet you, the beautiful princess of the Ming Kingdom, this is not only my Mer's honor, but also the honor of my entire Kram family." ”
Polite words are polite words, in fact, the reason why everyone appeared here was completely at the invitation of this marquis, Ye Wei did not continue to be polite like the other party, but deliberately pretended to be at a loss and asked: "I and my guards have something to do when we go to your country, I don't know why Marquis Mel specially invited me to come?" Or is it ...... Something complicated? ”
Marquis Mel wanted to continue to greet him, but he didn't expect that the Oriental princess in front of him went straight to the topic, and at the same time said with a pun on the key to the problem, if it were changed to the past, he would definitely have various ways to deal with it, but, as soon as the other party said this, for some reason, the marquis's originally smiling face gradually became complicated, and it seemed that there was something really difficult to say.
(It seems that the guess is correct, the Marquis must know something, and perhaps this is the main reason why he invited us to be a guest.) )
A word of temptation and some observation, Ye Wei guessed correctly, the process is very simple, let's not talk about what the executors who were cursed and given identities came to the United Kingdom to do, but how could the news that a group of Orientals came to the United Kingdom and one of them was a noble princess not be known by others? Due to the proximity of the territory to the coast, the Marquis of Mel was the first British nobleman to learn of the news, according to aristocratic tradition, when he first learned the news, he also wanted to invite the princess to the manor as a guest to increase his face, but unfortunately the recent series of strange things in the manor made the Marquis Mel anxious, so that he originally planned to give up the invitation, and the matter should have passed like this, but ......
Just when the Marquis of Mel gave up the idea of invitation, the old butler Domus made the Marquis of Mel very eager to meet the Oriental princess and her entourage:
"Your Excellency, according to the news, there are 9 Orientals, including the princess, seven men and two women.".
Yes, the seemingly ordinary words of the old butler exploded in the mind of Marquis Mel like a thunderbolt! At the same time, it reminded him of one thing, and that was ......
In the wax figure room on the third floor of the manor, in addition to the inexplicable wax figures including him and his family and all the manor guards and servants a few days ago, there were also a few wax figures of strange Orientals that he did not know, and the number of these wax figures also happened to be 9, seven men and two women.
The weirdness is weird, the news says that this group of Orientals who came to England is both numerical and gender...... They all match the wax figures on the 3rd floor!
Finally, as his heart became more and more uneasy, and his mind moved, the Marquis Mel changed his mind, and under the impetus of doubt, he really wanted to meet the group of Orientals, so taking advantage of the fact that his territory was closest to the coastal dock, the Marquis of Mel, who had been panicking recently, sent someone to send an invitation to the group of Orientals, hoping that they would come to him as a guest.
What made him happy was that the invitation was successful, the princess of the Ming Kingdom not only accepted the invitation, but even arrived at the manor the next day after accepting the invitation, that is, today, but, after meeting and seeing the appearance of this group of orientals, the Marquis of Mel's already rough and restless heart became more and more nervous, unbelievable, really unbelievable, I didn't expect that when I saw the real person, no matter who the other party was, it was really exactly the same as the 9 wax statues!
In addition to the surprise, an indescribable sense of fear swept through his body, which made Marquis Mel more and more frightened, and inexplicably, his mind recalled his father's voice and the two words that his father had spoken vaguely when he was first in the wax museum:
Run!
Originally, he was calm and wanted to hold a welcome banquet according to aristocratic etiquette, but the beautiful princess in front of him said a profound sentence on the spot as if she could see through his thoughts. No, it's impossible, the other party didn't say that he had never known him before, and he was a group of strangers who had just arrived in England, how could they know about it?
That's right, but, listening to the pun on the other party's tone just now, they all said that the huge Eastern Empire has always been very mysterious, could it be that the princess and her entourage really have some kind of mysterious ability?
Getting back to the point, as soon as Ye Wei's words came out, the Marquis of Mel really became unnatural, just when Mel was concerned about his identity and fell into hesitation and entanglement, the old butler Domus behind him did not have the master's concerns at all, out of the duty of a loyal housekeeper, but also out of consideration for the safety of the master's family, past the marquis, the old housekeeper first walked straight to Ye Wei and bowed to him, and then said to everyone present without any scruples:
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the villain Domus, is the steward of the Marquis's Mansion, some strange things have happened in our manor recently, and we can't handle this matter, and we can't even figure it out, so ...... So the master has no choice but to turn to you for help. ”
