The girl in front of her was wearing cartoon pajamas and nighthats, looking two or three years younger than Fei Fei, looking like a beautiful embryo, but she looked innocent like a middle school student, how could she know the English names of her brother and her brother? Chen Feng was puzzled, and Xiao Zhou, who was an outsider, quickly understood the reason, pointed to his side and replied truthfully: "He is SuN, I am MooN." Looks like you know Fly, right? β
"Heh, people are not stupid, but they are a little stupid in some aspects." The girl was not very old, but she sat cross-legged on the bed, and said in a tone that rushed to Xiaozhou and Chen Feng, as if she was the senior, "All the ridiculous things you did in Chernobyl and Notre Dame Cathedral, Sister Fei Fei mentioned it to me. Just now the housekeeper said that [two Chinese] broke into the house, and I guessed that the eight achievements were you, and it was true. β
"And where is she now?" Chen Feng didn't care about what Fei Fei and the girl talked about, he just wanted to end the matter in person as soon as possible, but the girl snickered that I knew that I wouldn't tell you, so Xiao Zhou could only threaten him: "I advise you to tell everything you know, otherwise you will ......"
"How else?" The girl's face was not afraid, but with a trace of disdain and ridicule, "I don't want to say it, it's useless for anyone to force me!" If you dare to bully me, Sister Fei Fei will not forgive you for not saying anything, my brother will know about it, and you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around! β
"Your brother?"
"Who do you think provided the high-tech weaponry from the last mission? If it weren't for the relationship between Sister Fei Fei and me who grew up together, my brother wouldn't have dispatched his latest research results for you stupid shrimp soldiers and crabs! The girl's wayward words inexplicably made people laugh, Xiaozhou could not maintain her seriousness, and felt that the status of herself and her brother in front of her had been declining sharply, and in just a few words, she had been reduced to seafood.
In this life, there is no enemy whose mouth cannot be pried, if the other party does not say it, then he will never be able to open his mouth again in this life and cannot become an enemy. But the girl in front of her doesn't eat hard, Xiaozhou can only come soft: "My eldest lady, you can do it, tell us where she is." My brother has been sick and hasn't eaten for three days, as long as we find Fly, you can let us do anything! β
Chen Feng thought to himself that Xiao Zhou was not afraid of going to hell to cut his tongue in the future, but he really didn't eat a bite of food in the past three days, and it was all done with the noodles of the Chinese detective...... When the girl heard Xiao Zhou's last sentence, her big eyes suddenly lit up: "What you said, can you do anything?" β
Xiao Zhou nodded, anyway, she is a rich child, she has what she wants, and she can't make any requirements that she can't do beyond her ability. The girl thought for a moment: "Then tell me something that even Sister Fei Fei doesn't know firstβyour real name!" Don't just make up a random one to lie to me? β
After the mission of the God Factory, Master repeatedly warned the members of the "24 solar terms" to remember to keep a low profile before the limelight passed, so as not to expose too much personal information and invite unnecessary trouble. However, a certain guy has already given his hole cards to others on the Dnieper River boat, and now this girl seems to be far less complicated than Ning Xue and her party's background, so it doesn't hurt to tell her her real name: "Xu Chenfeng, double Xu, the 'Chen' of the stars, and the 'maple' of a red maple." β
"Zhang Xiaozhou, bow Chang Zhang, the 'Xiao' of the clouds, the 'boat' of the lonely boat in the ocean."
After listening to the introduction of the two words and sentences, the girl felt that they were pairing: "It's quite poetic, not like a fake ......"
"What about you?"
"Me?" The girl didn't expect Xiaozhou to ask herself, and her expression was a little surprised, "Su Li, the 'Su' of the tassel, the 'glass' of the glass." It was originally a very simple name, but she was surprised by her use of two homophones and different words "flow" and "liu", and after Chen Feng reacted, he instantly thought: "Could it be that your brother is 'cold noodles' Su Bo?" Su Li's default smile was obviously a little proud: "Well, although my brother is indifferent and doesn't even recognize his father, he is obedient to me." Therefore, you had better not offend me, or you will have eight eyes when you go out. Chen Feng understands and agrees with this, don't mess with those weirdos with strong hands-on ability, they are small and calculating, and secondly, the means of revenge are like scattered flowers by the goddess, which makes people unguardable, such as the one next to him......
Xiao Zhou has never heard of Su Bo's name, asked his brother what the origin is, Chen Feng said that he also heard it from his senior sister RaiN, it is rumored that this person is a young military scientific research scientist in our country, well-known in the industry, good at the improvement and design of individual weapons and equipment, young but by the military high-level attention and attention, the Eighth Bureau of National Security also set up a special team for him, specifically responsible for protecting his life.
"However, the most important thing is that Su Bo killed his father who didn't recognize it, and it was Major General Su He......"
Xiao Zhou didn't understand what he meant in the sentence, even if his father was the eleventh marshal of China, it had nothing to do with the two of us? Chen Feng glanced at the dead fish: "Trespassing into the major general's private residence abroad, peeking at his daughter taking a bath, you also claimed to be a flower thief and injured the housekeeper inside, now that people know the name, think about what the master will do with us when you go back?" β
"You peek at me taking a shower?!" Su Li's face suddenly turned crimson, accompanied by anger, but fortunately, Chen Feng, who accidentally made a mistake, added in time before she went crazy: Maybe your housekeeper will think so.
"All of a sudden, I didn't want to go back, and I preferred to stay in France and work as a black worker." Xiao Zhou made some jokes about himself, but in exchange for Su Li's face full of disgust after taking it seriously: "Just your little body? It's not enough to come to my house to be a gardener! If it weren't for the fact that she was asked for at the moment, Xiao Zhou really wanted to teach this girl a good lesson, her temper was not small, and her mouth was so poisonous. Seeing this, Chen Feng turned his mouth and got back to business, pinching off the seedlings of the two of them in advance: "Now, can you tell us where Fly went?" Su Li pulled a big pillow from behind her and put it on her lap, her chin was supported by her two small hands, her eyes rolled, and she planned something: "It's okay if you want to know, but the condition is - hide from the housekeeper and take me to find Sister Feifei!" β
No way? Xiao Zhou's heart sank, it would have been troublesome enough to avoid Emperor Qin, and he had to bring a drag oil bottle? Su Li looked at his ugly expression like eating mustard, and directly smashed the pillow on the two of them: "Not happy, right?" Then you go find it yourself, anyway, Sister Fei Fei is not here, and she won't come back! β
Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng had no other way, they could only agree for the time being, anyway, after the information was out, there was a chance to regret it. But Su Liren is a big ghost, so they have to wait for tomorrow to leave to inform them of the specific location, and the two of them have no choice but to spend the night under the bed in her boudoir in order to avoid being chased by the housekeeper. And Su Li moved the pillow and quilt, ostensibly because she was wronged to sleep on the sofa in the living room, but in fact she wanted to lie there and watch a late-night drama while eating snacks...... The housekeeper came back and asked, only saying that today's incident had happened, and he didn't dare to sleep alone in the room, so he easily fooled the past.
Early the next morning, when he heard a rapid stamping in his sleep, Xiao Zhou suddenly straightened his upper body, but hit the wooden plank under the bed and bounced back to the ground, his nose was almost broken, and the back of his head was not lightly broken...... Chen Feng dragged out the brother who was rolling under the bed, followed Su Li, who had already changed his clothes, and quietly sneaked into the garage, took the key she handed over, and said in his heart, if the housekeeper didn't see the car, he would definitely settle the account on the two strangers the night before.
Su Li doesn't know how to drive herself, so let the two of them go with better skills. Chen Feng decisively drove Xiaozhou to the passenger seat, although he and he both have driver's licenses, but there is a warning in the "24 solar terms" team: MooN spends money on driving, and FirE is in charge. It means that Xiaozhou is good at violating regulations and fines like running water, but if he is replaced by Zhang Yizhen, it will not be water but blood, because that guy is taking a tank driver's license.
Sitting in the spacious back seat of the Brilliance China Foreign Trade Edition high-end SUV series 2030 Special Customized Edition, Su Li was finally happy and relieved, like a fledgling that has been in a cage for a long time and is about to be released, full of novelty and expectation for everything. From her mouth, she learned that Fei Fei and his entourage had gone to the town of Fontainebleau in the Paris metropolitan area early yesterday morning, located 55 kilometers south-southeast of the city center. Fontainebleau is located in the district of Fontainebleau, Seine-et-Marne, the seat of the district and the largest municipality in Γle-de-France. The name "Fontainebleau" in China was translated by Mr. Zhu Ziqing, and Mr. Xu Zhimo translated it as "Fontaine Bolu", and its original French meaning is - blue Meiquan.
Fei Fei planned to visit the famous Fontainebleau Palace with her subordinates today, and Su Li wanted to do so, but she flatly refused on the grounds that she was on a mission. Xiao Zhou didn't speak after hearing this, and looked out the window sideways, what big moves did the group of people under Luo Tianhai have, otherwise how could four more "emperors" appear for no reason...... After driving for more than ten minutes with the navigation, Su Li, who found that there was no water in the bag, pointed to the roadside supermarket and asked Chen Feng to stop, Xiaozhou was thinking about Fei Fei's possible attempt to go to the largest palace in France, and was suddenly sent to buy drinks, and turned around with a fierce face: "Little sister, no one needs to listen to you now, no matter how unreasonable it is, be careful that we throw you down!" β
Su Li, who knew that he was in a vulnerable situation, did not pick up, pouted and made a pitiful look, and tears rolled in his eyes. Xiao Zhou, who couldn't stand this the most, hurriedly took action to stop her from continuing to perform, turned around and opened the car door, and immediately walked towards the supermarket not far away...... Really, your eldest lady will always be your eldest lady.
In order to avoid buying it again after a while, Xiao Zhou simply used her senior sister's credit card to swipe a large number of snacks and drinks and threw them to Su Li, and after the car started again, she didn't forget to warn her: "This is the last time, if you want to go back safely, don't call us as servants again." At this time, Su Li's mobile phone rang, and it was the housekeeper calling. Without waiting for Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng to think about what to say, Su Li had already connected with a crying voice: "Uncle, I was kidnapped by the [two Chinese] who broke in yesterday, but you must not call the police, they are all murderous villains, and they will definitely tear up the ticket!" Hearing her say this, Chen Feng was so shocked that the steering wheel in his hand slid down, and the car left an S-shaped trajectory in the middle of the road, and then kicked directly at the passenger seat Xiaozhou: "Why do you keep scaring her?" Now we're tied up! β
"Hey? You and Fly don't have a word, just protect your future sister-in-law? Xiao Zhou was really afraid of this ghost girl, and hurriedly folded his palms to apologize to Wan Chenfeng, as if he was worshipping a Bodhisattva, "Grandma, can't I be wrong?" In the future, you will have the final say in everything, so quickly explain it to the housekeeper, so as not to alarm the police. β
"Really?" Su Li nodded again and again when Xiaozhou got it, and told the housekeeper with satisfaction that the two of them were friends of Sister Fei Fei yesterday, and now she is going to the Fontainebleau Museum with them. The general over there was suspicious, Su Li didn't say much, and dropped the sentence "If you alarm my father and my brother, you will be responsible" and hung up the phone, leaving only the dimpled conspiratorial laughter between his cheeks. Xiao Zhou didn't dare to say anything more to her, for fear that something would happen again. But Chen Feng cared about another thing, glanced at Su Li from the rearview mirror in the car, and asked skillfully: "Is Fly coming to France only for sightseeing this time, so what is she looking for you to do, and she doesn't take it with you?" β
"Humph!" Su Li was stimulated by Chen Feng like this, and immediately felt unhappy, "Who knew that she finally came to France, not to mention playing around with me, but borrowing the instrument that my brother left at home." Xiao Zhou felt that he and his brother had found the starting point of the question: "What instrument?" β
"Holographic air imaging system, my brother is heartbroken that I can't go out to play, and it is specially made for me to create scenery all over the world." Su Li probably guessed the purpose of their question, but there was no need for him to hide it. Xiao Zhou seemed to be a little puzzled: "Wouldn't the image be very unstable if air is used as a carrier?" Su Li didn't think so: "That's because you're too stupid, my brother's improved system is fake, last time I used a projection to cover a lawn on the pool, but the housekeeper didn't pay attention and fell in!" Saying that, Su Li couldn't help laughing, Chen Feng first mourned for the hostess who was so mischievous at the housekeeper's stall, and then looked at Xiao Zhou: "If that's the case, this system can have many uses...... Although Xiao Zhou already had a bottom, he still asked knowingly: "For example?" β
"God steals the treasure in the museum without knowing it!"
Su Li Xianchenfeng raised his hand to answer in one step, making the two people in the front row instantly dumbfounded. Even if they had this guess in their hearts, Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng would not just say the sensitive inference so aggressively without real evidence. The MusΓ©e de Fontainebleau was first stolen in 1995, at the Napoleon Pavilion; In 2015, there was also a theft of the China Pavilion, and 15 precious cultural relics were lost, including the old collection of the Old Summer Palace, the cloisonne unicorn and the golden manza, which shocked China and foreign countries. With a gap of 20 years and a similar modus operandi, there is no evidence that the same group of people committed the crime, but the museum has decided to completely strengthen security in 2035 to prevent someone from deliberately contributing to the stigma of "theft every 20 years". However, throughout the last year, under the watchful eye of everyone, there were no accidents at the MusΓ©e de Fontainebleau. A year has passed, and Xiaozhou doesn't want what he is about to experience is a major crime led by his own compatriots, even if some of the collections in it come from the Eight-Nation Alliance's aggression against China, there is no need to use this method to get it back, because - that is a manifestation of incompetence.
In the process of chewing on the details repeatedly, they had arrived at Fontainebleau Town, and there was still some time before the opening of the museum at half past nine, Xiaozhou and Chen Feng parked their cars, first took Su Li to take a casual stroll around, and then came to one of the tourist routes of the Fontainebleau Museum, waiting for Fei Fei to appear. Chen Feng asked his brother what if they took another path, and Xiao Zhou replied that it only proved that you and her were inseparable, and no one could help them......
The ChΓ’teau de Fontainebleau is located in a forest area of 170 square kilometers, with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. The complex consists of a feudal castle tower, palaces built by the kings of the Six Dynasties, five courtyards of varying shapes and four gardens with their own characteristics, and is open all year round with three Renaissance halls, the Emperor's Residence and the Napoleon Museum. Architecturally, the ChΓ’teau de Fontainebleau can be said to be a masterpiece of French classical architecture, with styles from all periods leaving valuable traces here. In view of its overall size and area, in order to facilitate tourists, the museum has opened two special tourist routes for people to choose from.
The atmosphere is quiet, surrounded by greenery, not as crowded as the Palace of Versailles in the heart of Paris, but it also has the exquisite original appearance of the French court, which was once the favorite residence of the French royal family. In addition to the splendid palace, the Napoleon Museum is also one of the highlights, with valuable collections of Napoleon's robes, medals, tents and toiletries.
Looking at the leisurely tourists around, Xiao Zhou just felt a little bored, so Su Li was in a hurry to find something for herself, and took a photo of the soldiers on duty with her mobile phone, making a "click" sound. Since the terrorist attacks have become more and more rampant in the 21st century, the French government has arranged armed soldiers to patrol and guard the famous tourist attractions for a long time. The soldier heard the movement and came over to ask who was taking pictures, Chen Feng was silent, and Xiaozhou, who was fed up, directly said "my little ancestor" in English, which made the other party confused, and he didn't understand what he meant for a long time. Seeing this, Su Li hurriedly explained that she didn't know the rules, and the soldiers didn't pursue it much, and after watching her delete the photo, she threw a cold eye at Xiaozhou, turned around and left with a gun.
Chen Feng saw that Su Li spoke French very slipperily, and asked her how long she had lived here, Su Li counted with her fingers, she had been studying here for almost five years, and she would only return to China to visit her family during the holidays. After that, he pulled Xiaozhou and Chen Feng to take a group photo together, and the two immediately refused unanimously, thinking that this was not essentially different from what she had just done, who would like to leave an image in the hands of others who is a soldier who is performing a risky mission outside, even if he is not retaliated against accurately, it is uncomfortable to nail the photo to the villain with a needle? But Su Li was stubborn, no one could do anything about her, not to mention that Xiaozhou promised to listen to everything, and now he was blocked by his own words, so he had no choice but to compromise, and he also affected Chen Feng. Su Li grabbed their arms left and right, and asked Xiao Zhou, who was long, to take pictures of everyone with a selfie stick, and then took it back and saw that his pouting style was quite cute, and the two guys next to him, one was a Matrix, and the other was white-eyed and cerebral palsy, which was ugly enough to make the phone explode......
"What the hell, you can't just laugh? One more! Su Li dragged the two of them and didn't give up, and Xiaozhou and Chen Feng didn't want to suffer again, just as they were pulling and pulling, a familiar voice came from behind them: "When did you get together and still be so close?" β
"Sister Fei Fei?!"
Unexpectedly, as my brother intuitively expected, I met her on this road, Chen Feng was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and Su Li had to break the embarrassment: "I brought the person who wants to see you!" Looking at Su Li's innocent expression of asking for praise for doing good deeds, Fei Fei couldn't cry or laugh, and she didn't ask if she wanted to see her, she was so good at asserting.
"Who told you to bring them?" Fei Fei said something to Su Li with a happy face, leaving her and walking in front of Chen Feng, without a hint of greeting: "What a coincidence, I can meet you anywhere." In front of Fei Fei, Chen Feng became no longer funny, and after taking off his sunglasses, he replied: "Yes, what a coincidence...... Xiao Zhou wanted to fly up and kick his ass when he heard this, what did he say, he didn't give the other party any next words. Fei Fei snorted coldly, turned around and took Su Li's hand: "Come with me, I'll send you home later." β
"Wait! SuN has something to tell you. Xiao Zhou can't watch like this anymore, lest the opportunity he has created so hard to be squandered by his brother who is talking nonsense with his eyes open. Fei Fei didn't look back, and it was Qin Huang beside her who made the decision for her at the right time: "Miss has nothing to say to him, hurry up, don't make me angry!" β
"There's no place for you to talk here! Shut up!!! Xiao Zhou didn't want to be polite to Emperor Qin anymore, and his instantly raised voice scared Su Li. The yin eyes really reveal the message from the bottom of my heart: I can kill Han Wu with my own hands in the God Factory, and I can also be here - I want you to look good! Emperor Qin paced forward, stretched his neck back and forth a few times to the left and right of his shoulders, and responded to Xiaozhou with his body movements: Then you will try?
The tense confrontation between the two was accompanied by the rattling of the bones on Xiaozhou's fist, and Chen Feng regained his due sense when he saw this: "If you are not afraid of making trouble and affecting the task at hand, it is best to take a step to speak." "Chen Feng knows Xiaozhou's temper best, it's all on this, and he won't back down when he says anything. In case the fire is aggressive, in the absence of any weapons, it should be the Qin Emperor who has the advantage, but if Xiao Zhou gambles on his idea of not being afraid of killing and uses the objects around him, I am afraid that no one will be his opponent. If so, today will be a disaster day, for everyone.
"Sister, just listen to what he has to say, why make everyone unable to end? I know you don't want that. Su Li persuaded Fei Fei a little as she walked, but in the end, it was Chen Feng's next speculation that caused her to stop: "Emperor Yan, Zongshen, Shang Qi, and King Wu are not here, presumably you got what you wanted last night, you and Emperor Qin are back now, but you want to retrieve the holographic air imaging system, so as not to leave evidence, right?" β
After hesitating for a moment, Fei Fei let go of Su Li's hand in silence and instructed Emperor Qin to complete the important things first, while he left first, leaving a faint sentence: "I'll wait for you in the Queen's Garden." β
Chen Feng hadn't reacted yet, he had been slapped on the back by Xiao Zhou, and the begging eyes were interpreted into four words: Don't you go quickly?! Emperor Qin naturally would not disobey Fei Fei's order, so he could only swallow the breath in front of him for the time being, without saying a word, slowly walked past Xiaozhou, and went straight to the Museum of Fontainebleau. Now that the goal has been achieved, Xiaozhou does not want to cause more trouble and disturb the good things of his brothers, but looking at the back of Emperor Qin's gradual distant, he is still a little unhappy in his heart: one day he will understand the so-called "position", you and Han Wu, who is the one who should really fall under the sword of "August 1 41"......
Suddenly, Xiao Zhou realized a serious problem, now that everyone is gone, isn't it just that he is left to take care of the little aunt and grandmother around him? In this regard, I can't help but feel that there is a big head. Su Li quickly shouted that the others were too boring, so they simply went to the museum to wander around! Xiaozhou said that he would not go, but he did not explain why. However, Su Li's shrewdness that is different from ordinary people now seems to be considerate: "Are you afraid that we will get involved in unnecessary trouble?" Anyway, let's walk around casually, and then go back to the car and wait for them, anyway, I don't have much interest in the so-called treasures that have been imprisoned in the chamber for many years. β
Imprisoned? Is that talking about herself...... Xiaozhou followed behind Su Li, who was bouncing around, feeling that she seemed to come out this time just to break free from the shackles, and she was used to being home from all over the world, but she was already tired of this conditional freedom.
The Queen's Garden, also known as the Gardens of Diana[2] and the Orange Garden, features the Fountain of Diana, which was built in 1602 in the time of Henry IV and was reproduced in bronze by the sculptor Prieux in the same position to protect the original marble statue of Diana from erosion. Orange trees are scattered around the garden with flower beds and sculptures from the 16th and 18th centuries, and the breeze is refreshing and the smell of fruit floats between the noses.
It's a pity that there are no maple leaves here, and it's not late autumn now, so I can't experience the artistic conception of the maple leaves like blood and frost. In the morning, when there are relatively few visitors and the museum has only just opened, most people will take a tour first, leaving the Queen's Garden in a clean place. Fei Fei sat on the stone bench near the fountain, while Chen Feng looked at the bronze statue of Diana and the deer, only to feel that the spring water flowing out of it in the form of dogs shooting urine below it was a sight to behold.
"I know......" Now that there are only two people left, himself and Chen Feng, Fei Fei took the lead in breaking the silence and also said what was in his heart, "You are not responsible for the death of Tang Zong and Song Zu. Hearing this, Chen Feng turned around: "In that case, why don't you want to see us again?" β
"If I say it's a matter of position, can you understand that?"
Chen Feng didn't answer, Fei Fei didn't force it, and continued to say: "We are people from two worlds, maybe I didn't understand this truth at first, but now I understand and accept it." If it were Xiao Zhou, he would definitely scoff at such a statement, but Chen Feng has never forced anyone except himself, and since his brother learned what happened to him and Han Wu later, everything can already be connected: "I understand." β
"Then, between us, this is the clear thing." Chen Feng's face was not lonely, but surprisingly calm, so calm that both sides felt stinging.
"Tatsukaede ......"
A title from Fei Fei that he had never had before saved Ye Shang's footsteps of leaving. Chen Feng had never confided her real name, but with Luo Tianhai's relationship with his master, it was not difficult to know. In fact, he has never been honest with her, so how can he be qualified to ask the other party for this. Just when Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, Fei Fei, who got up to catch up, had already hugged him tightly from behind, and finally didn't care to say the words buried in the deepest part of his heart: "How good it would be if we were all ordinary people." But I'm sorry......"
The wind blowing from the queen's garden carried the slight chill of sporadic spring water, Chen Feng turned around for the second time, took the leather jacket on his arm, and gently draped it for Fei Fei, no longer covering her warm eyes with sunglasses just to tell her that there was no need to say sorry. Fei Fei put his hand on his shoulder and took a few steps back, which was his intention, and it was also the last souvenir he didn't want.
"Goodbye, SuN."
On the two tree-lined paths that extend to the central fountain, several figures appeared, with a total of four people in front and behind.
Seeing this, Chen Feng once again looked at the statue of Diana on the height.
It turned out that this was not an exchange of heartfelt words between each other, but a hunt for themselves.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
[2] Diana: In Roman mythology, Diana was the goddess of the moon, hunting, childbirth, animals, and nature, and had the power to control the speech of animals. She was originally the goddess of the mountains and forests of the Latin tribes of the Nemi region of Italy, and later annexed the goddess Artemis in Greek mythology, so she was also regarded as the goddess of the hunt. According to late Roman art, Diana loved the outdoors, walking in the woods and mountains, armed with bows and arrows, accompanied by dogs, hunting with fairy attendants, and sometimes traveling in a silver cart towed by two sacred deer. Diana remained chaste throughout her life, was a stern virgin, and opposed marriage between men and women, so the English word "to be a Diana" can be used to mean "never marry".
