Chapter 188: The Princess's Hobby
At this time, in Princess Binglian's study, a middle-aged man was talking secretly with Princess Binglian.
Princess Binglian's study is completely arranged according to the standard of the scholar of the Chinese Dynasty: a large mahogany desk, on which are placed the four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study. The pen holder is a Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain with a white background, the carcass is thick and delicate, the shape is regular, the hair color is pure, and the painting is fine. There are a few wolf pen pens in the pen holder, and there are several stacks of rice paper next to the pen holder. On the left side of the study are two large bookcases, which are also made of mahogany, and the outer side is inlaid with glass, so that you can see the books inside at a glance. On the most conspicuous middle floor of the bookcase, almost all of them are classical masterpieces of the Chinese Kingdom, and they are all hardcover or line-bound books. Among them, "Dream of Red Mansions" alone, there are four sets, all of which are published by different publishers and different editions. In addition, there are many Western masterpieces in Chinese, such as "La Traviata", "The Count of Monte Cristo", "The Red and the Black", "Jane Eyre", "Wuthering Heights", "Drifting" and so on. It is strange that there is not a single Russian book in the entire bookcase, not even a single book by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and other great writers.
On the wall facing the bookcase, there are several couplets written by the great contemporary calligraphers of the Chinese Dynasty, all of which are some classic ancient sayings of the Chinese Dynasty, such as "indifferent to clear ambition, quiet to far-reaching", "courtesy, righteousness and shame, the four dimensions of the country, the four dimensions are not open, the country is destroyed", "the sea is tolerant of all rivers, tolerance is great; the wall is a thousand thousands, and there is no desire to be strong", and so on. Although there are many of these banners, they are neatly arranged and not cluttered at all.
Princess Binglian leaned over, sat listlessly on the mahogany sofa with one hand, her eyes seemed to open and closed, listening to the middle-aged man's words.
"Princess, before I came, His Majesty told me repeatedly: from now on, the princess cannot leave the villa beyond a kilometer except for school. Within this kilometer, we have arranged for enough security personnel to secretly monitor the surrounding movements and protect the princess's safety. Outside of this range, there are too many of us to follow the princess, so it will be difficult to guard against the omnipresent assassins. Now the situation in the country is becoming more and more tense, and those opposition forces and gangs that are plotting rebellion are preparing to move, trying to overthrow His Majesty's rule with the support of country Z and the power of Wuyitang. Therefore, His Majesty is very worried about the safety of the princess. In order to ensure that the princess has enough security during her school days, His Majesty has made a request to the high-level officials of the Huaxia Kingdom, asking them to arrange a few top masters to be the princess's personal guards. According to Commander Li Qingshan of the Southwest Military Region of the Chinese People's Republic of China, the people they sent have already arrived in Hong Kong, and I will meet with them in detail through a liaison later. Your Majesty's request to you is: You must no longer be as willful as before, you must provide convenience for the few masters sent by Huaxia Kingdom, and you must let them enter the villa for personal protection. Although you have Mei Lian and Mei Bing by your side at all times, their kung fu is far from being able to deal with those masters of Wuyi Hall. Please have a clear understanding of this, listen to Your Majesty's words, and obey Your Majesty's arrangements. ”
This middle-aged man's name is Sang Wu Dewang, the captain of King Duomei's palace guard, and he is also the king's envoy, and he has come to Hong Kong today to persuade Princess Binglian to accept the personal protection provided by Huaxia Kingdom.
Princess Binglian shook her head stubbornly and said, "I don't allow any strange men to enter my villa, and I don't want any men to study with me. It's enough for me to have Mei Lian Mei Bing. ”
Sangwu Dewang sighed and said, "Princess, you have to think about the situation between your father and the Wangnizayu Kingdom! There is one thing that Your Majesty did not want me to tell you, but now it seems that it will not work if you do not tell you: according to the diagnosis of the royal doctor of the royal palace, His Majesty the King has been suffering from lung cancer, and it is already in an advanced stage, and it is estimated that the best medicine can only prolong His Majesty's life by two years at most. When the time comes, you will return to your home country and inherit the throne. If the news of His Majesty's illness spreads, the first person who pretenders to the throne will be you, the legal heir to the throne, will be killed. And what worries His Majesty the most is that this person who is hiding behind the scenes and directing Wu Yitang and those opposition forces to make trouble, still does not know who it is. You know, princess, you have more than a dozen uncles, and they are all princes, and if you are murdered, they are all qualified to sit on the throne. So, they could all be the masterminds behind it. If you don't take precautions, if they succeed in their assassination, the kingdom of Wangniza could be plunged into an endless civil war. Has the princess thought about this consequence?"
When Princess Binglian heard that her father had cancer, her face immediately turned pale, and two lines of tears flowed down her beautiful cheeks.
Seeing her pain, Sang Wu Dewang knew that she was weak and had an old disease of fainting, so he didn't dare to say anything for fear of causing her illness.
At noon, the two brothers, Xu Fei and Xu Yu, turned on the TV to watch the local noon news. Sure enough, as Sneer Xiaotian said, the first piece of the news was that the black boss of Jufutang Zhang Li tied himself to the Jin family villa and extorted 200 million, and was killed on the spot by the Jin family's bodyguards......
At this time, the Xu brothers believed that Sneer Xiaotian did not return last night, and he really uprooted the famous kidnapping gang Jufutang, and couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and at the same time admired him so much.
As soon as I finished watching the news, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Xu Fei hurriedly beckoned the squad leader in charge of monitoring the villa to put away the binoculars and sniper rifle, then came to the door, put his eyes on the cat's eye to take a look, and saw two people standing at the door, one was their liaison Bai Baqiang, and the other was a shorter but very lean middle-aged man.
Xu Fei opened the door. Bai Baqiang walked in with the man and said with a smile: "Captain Xu, where is Mr. Li? This is Mr. Sangwu Dewang, the captain of the royal palace guard of the Wangnizha Jade Kingdom and the king's special envoy, I have something to discuss with Mr. Li." ”
Xu Fei nodded and said, "Mr. Li had something to do last night, he didn't close his eyes all night, and now he is making up for sleep." I called him up. ”
Sneer Xiaotian was dragged up by Xu Fei in a daze, came to the living room, and after listening to Bai Baqiang's introduction, his sleepy eyes immediately lit up, looked at Sang Wu Dewang, hugged his fists and said, "Captain Dewang, welcome, welcome!"
Sang Wu Dewang had lived in Huaxia with King Duomei for more than ten years, and he was very fluent in Huaxia, and he also hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Li, long admiration, long admiration!"
He said for a long time, but his eyes were full of doubts: Is such a playboy-like little fart boy the top master personally designated by the second head of Huaxia Kingdom?
Sneering Tiantian saw that he was talking about a long look in his mouth, but there was no hint of long-term admiration in his eyes, knowing that he had doubts about his dress and being so young, he didn't explain much to him, so he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and the two of them sat down face to face on the sofa. Bai Baqiang sat on a stool on the other side and watched TV.
Xu Fei and Xu Yu stood behind Sneer Xiaotian with their hands behind their backs, their chests and belly protruding, both of them with straight faces, a standard entourage posture, which made Sang Wu Dewang wonder.
"Captain Dewang, may I ask you to come to me, is it for the security of Princess Ice Lotus?"
Sang Wu Dewang nodded and said, "I heard Commander Li say that Mr. Li is not only strong in martial arts, but also has miraculous abilities, which is enough to take on the responsibility of protecting the princess. I just don't know how Mr. Li is going to protect the princess? Is there any specific arrangement?"
Sneer smiled and said, "It's the summer vacation now, the princess doesn't study, she stays in the villa every day, and there are members of your royal palace guards everywhere around here, so there shouldn't be any danger in the near future." Moreover, as far as I know, Wu Yitang does not know the specific address of the princess and the school she attends, nor does he know her pseudonym Mei Yajie, so Captain Dewang does not have to worry. ”
Sang Wu Dewang frowned and said, "According to the information we and your country's intelligence department have received from the inside line of Wuyi Hall, they are now looking for a local gang called Ju Fu Tang to help find the whereabouts of the princess. Moreover, it is said that this Jufu Tong specializes in kidnapping, so it knows the situation in Hong Kong's wealthy residential areas well. If they reach an intention to cooperate, it will only be a matter of time before the princess's address is revealed!"
Sneer Xiaotian suddenly laughed, leaned over to take a sip of tea, and said, "Captain Dewang, to tell you the truth: from today onwards, this Jufutang no longer exists. I didn't sleep all night last night, but I did one thing: to remove the cancer of Jufutang. So, Mr. Dewang should not worry about this. ”
Sang Wu Dewang was taken aback, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Mr. Li is not joking? Jufutang has been rampant in Hong Kong for more than ten years, how can it be said that if it is uprooted, it will be uprooted?"
Sneering Tian didn't explain much to him, and said: "Don't doubt this matter, Mr. Dewang, if it weren't for this, I would never make such a joke with you, the king's envoy, you can confirm it by going back and watching the news." What I would like to ask now is: does the princess allow my people to enter the villa to arrange security. Also, if she goes to school, can I be allowed to be her personal bodyguard?"
Sangwu Dewang shook his head and said, "Not yet. The princess had suffered a heavy emotional blow, and completely closed her heart, especially hating dealing with strange men. However, please rest assured, Mr. Lai, that before she starts school, we will do her ideological work, and we will definitely ask her to allow you to approach her and protect her. ”
Sneer Xiaotian thought for a while and asked, "What hobbies does the princess usually have, and what is her favorite thing to do?"
Sang Wu Dewang looked up to the sky and thought for a while, and said: "She is very fond of Chinese literature, calligraphy and painting. In other aspects, she seems to like a Hong Kong singer very much, and listens to her songs almost every day in the villa to pass the time. The singer's name is Ning Qing. She has no other hobbies. ”
