Outside Washington, the western suburbs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking back on the familiar path, Zhou Dong quickly guessed the secret hidden in Henry's words.
"Minister, the manor you are talking about, it can't be that one, right?"
"That's right, it's the one in front!"
At this time, Henry turned a corner, entered the fork in the road, and drove towards the prairie.
"Winter, where are we going?" Xue sat on Zhou Dong's lap in the car, looked up at him, and asked curiously.
"A big grizzly bear, don't be frightened." Zhou Dong tried to make a joke.
But only Henry smiled, and the children's faces changed suddenly, as if they were frightened.
There is no doubt that Zhou Dong has no talent for humor.
In a few moments, the elongated Lincoln Bridge car arrived at the manor, and Saltkov let out a loud laugh as usual, which frightened the children to the point of trembling.
"Welcome!"
Saltkov unceremoniously gave the two of them a bear hug, and as for William, he was directly divided into a group of children.
"Why, I heard Henry say you want to buy a manor for these kids?"
"Yes, they're all homeless kids."
The group walked towards the house, and Zhou Dong and Henry told Saltkov about their recent mission.
Although Saltykov looked rude on the outside, he was actually very quiet and careful when listening to people's speeches, until he understood it thoroughly, he was silent for a while, took Zhou Dong to the table, and called the old butler Ivan.
At this time, Henry took his children to visit the manor, after all, this is also a very beautiful manor.
Xue was by Zhou Dong's side, holding his hand all the time.
"The manor can be sold to you for only ten million dollars, but I have one condition, all the staff here must be hired as usual, a total of thirty-four people, they are all subordinates who have been born and died with me, Ivan, let him see your eyes."
"Yes, master."
Ivan nodded slightly, then reached into his left eye and removed a false eyeball.
Xue was startled, and hurriedly turned around and buried her face between Zhou Dong's legs, not daring to look at the terrifying appearance.
"Zhou, as you can see, they all have some old injuries and cripples that affect their normal lives, I don't mean for you to pity them, but just for you to provide them with a position that can allow them to spend the rest of their lives in this manor, do you know what I mean?"
Saltkov looked at the black-haired young man in a very serious tone and gaze.
Zhou Dong thought seriously about the meaning of Saltkov's words before nodding silently.
"Very well, Ivan, let my lawyer prepare the contract for the transfer of the estate, and also, go book the ticket for the evening now."
"General, you want to get out of here?"
"Well, my friends in Russia have cleared my name, so I'm ready to go back to my hometown, to the quiet Don River."
When talking about his hometown, in fact, Saltkov, who is also quite accomplished in art, uses some beautiful words.
After being separated for a while, the master and apprentice arrived on the battlefield and had a hand-to-hand fight again.
This time, it is difficult for Saltykov to describe the subtle changes that have appeared in Zhou Dong's body, although the style is still the type of wit that is exhausted in calculations, but it always feels as if it has evolved into a super combat robot controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence!
At the end of the battle, when the physical strength of both sides was about the same, Saltykov saw a flaw in Zhou Dong that he had beaten, and immediately wanted to take advantage of it.
But Zhou Dong seemed to use spiritual power to turn this flaw into a trap, and Saltkov, who was lured in, was locked by Zhou Dong's neck and strangled to the ground in a blink of an eye, and entangled Saltkov with clever and inescapable joint skills.
Before suffocating, Saltykov hurriedly slapped his hand on the sand three times and surrendered convincingly.
"Did you use an ability?"
"Yes."
"Yes, you're out of school."
"I understand."
"Stinky boy! I really don't know how to be modest! ”
"General, you don't like modesty, anyway."
"That's right, I don't like feminine men either, men just want to go straight."
Saltykov stood up with Zhou Dong's support, and the soreness that came from the fierce battle had to make him old.
Because it was a parting meal and the children were on board, Saltykov was in a good mood and asked the chef to prepare an extremely sumptuous dinner.
On the long wooden table, dozens of very authentic Russian dishes are arranged, including brightly colored beetroot soup, delicate and tempting tuna mashed potato salad, meaty beef stewed potato chips and beef tongue slices, mouth-watering white night grilled fish and other main dishes, as well as a dozen kinds of vegetable salad, the aroma alone makes children's mouths water.
Henry also stayed to visit, and the adults had a great dinner, and the children enjoyed the delicious food.
After dinner, the children were still enjoying a delicious dessert and happily watching the TV on the big LCD screen, and Saltkov did not refuse to add modern technological appliances to the medieval castle.
Henry went back, and Zhou Dong was signing an agreement for the transfer of ownership of the manor with Saltkov's lawyers.
"Cheval White, set on one hundred and seven acres, about the size of forty football fields, has 64 spacious guest rooms and an exquisite master bedroom on the main roof level in three main and auxiliary houses, which are very characteristic of an English castle.
In and around the big house, there are hundreds of gardens, vegetable fields, swamp ponds, farms, artificial lakes and other terrain environments that simulate nature, completely establishing a perfect ecosystem that can self-circulate.
In addition, the White Horse Manor, which looks like a natural ecology theme farm on the surface, has a defense system on the open side and in the dark, which can be even more staggering.
First of all, the stone wall that surrounds the manor, which is the size of forty football fields, is a full five meters high, and there is also an electrified barbed wire, so that no one unless it is Superman can easily climb around the main entrance and climb into the manor.
At the same time, the manor has twenty-six elite guards, all of whom were once old Saltkov's subordinates, and although most of them are disabled, they can easily defeat a few adult men with individual combat strength.
They were round-the-clock guards in two shifts, in groups of twelve, eight patrolling day and night, four of them watching from the towers in the four corners of the manor, while two guards took turns in the central control room.
And the interior of the house also has a full seven secret escape routes, no matter where you are in the manor, as long as you master them, you can quickly escape from the manor.
The remaining eight staff, in addition to Ivan's butler, also had two maids, two cooks, two gardeners, and a plumber mechanic, who were enough to keep the manor alive. ”
When Zhou Dong was reading the relevant documents of the manor, Saltkov was also explaining to him the precautions for managing the manor, and Zhou Dong quickly had a general understanding of the White Horse Manor.
With a snap, Saltkov finished signing the last agreement and threw it on the table.
"Zhou, the manor has to be well managed, maybe I'll come back one day as a guest."
The former owner of the manor left in a dashing manner, and the blue sedan outside quickly left the place.
Now, Zhou Dong is the owner of this large manor.
