Chapter 285: Her Royal Highness
Coming this way in a high-profile and fast way is a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow sedan, the style of the car is a bit old, like a product of the sixties of the last century, and the degree of antiquity is comparable to the classic car parked in the corner of the manor owner.
The sedan stopped steadily at the door of the manor, the door of the driver in front of him opened, and the driver in uniform and white gloves held a red carpet and stood on both sides of the rear door in a black and white maid costume under the passenger seat on the other side.
Under the puzzled look of the onlookers, or there was no need for such an exaggerated look, the driver put down the red carpet in his hand and unfolded it until he connected to the red carpet that was only available at the gate of the manor. After all this was done, the driver stood by the door.
"How? I'll just say that, right? The people I've arranged for you are absolutely fine, it's just a traffic jam, and it's not a problem for them at all. In the headphones, Su Enxi's smug voice sounded, and Zero in the carriage was still expressionless.
The driver arranged by Su Enxi naturally can't really be a driver, and the maid naturally won't be a real maid. Zero doesn't like this kind of high-profile arrangement very much, but as Her Royal Highness, it's too pitiful to have no attendants to follow.
Accustomed to the indifference of his companions, Su Enxi continued: "Originally, I should have been your personal little maid to accompany you. But now, your cute little maid is in some trouble and doesn't want to see anyone at all, so you can forgive me a little. ”
Zero nodded, after getting along for a long time, she could naturally hear the restraint in the other party's words. However, she understands that the other side may not be visible.
The door of the back seat was opened, and the driver bent down and held a hand across his chest so that the owner of the back seat could step down. The little hand with white gloves gently put on the hand of the driver outside, and the silver high heels stretched out and stepped lightly on the red carpet.
The next moment, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, not because of the small figure like a snow elf in a silver diamond-encrusted dress. It's not because she amazed everyone, but she ignored everyone's beautiful faces. Rather, on her coiled white gold hair, the extremely dazzling crown.
Attached to the crown is a large sapphire. Knowledgeable people, or "experts" who made a trip specifically for the relics of the Romanov dynasty, naturally recognized the identity of the crown.
Legend has it that after the death of the Romanov Tsar, the royal jewels kept in the royal warehouse were lost because they were not inherited...... It is not known whether it was really "lost" because there was no one to inherit it.
However, as far as they knew, the crown was not on the list of lost jewels, but was sold by a long-dead royal descendant in Europe and passed into the collection of another royal family.
But the temperament of the girl, the unquestionable "I am the princess!" They can't raise the idea that the crown is a fake. After all, the crown is rarely reported to be seen outside.
You don't need to use any exaggerated descriptions, and you don't need to dress up with any other accessories, just like a princess...... No, the elf girl, who is a princess herself, has a light that no one else can look at directly, as if she is visiting some innocence banquet.
At the gate of the manor, the steward who was originally receiving guests outside the door disappeared into the depths of the manor with a solemn face as early as the moment the princess appeared.
Su Xiaoqiao, who hadn't had time to enter the manor, was shocked, she not only recognized the crown, but also the girl who had the temperament of a royal daughter. They had met, in the hospital room where she had gone to visit Uncle Lu Mingfei. The white-blond hair and elf-like feeling she still remembered, so she remembered very well that the girl was Lu Mingfei's classmate or his subordinate in the same club.
"That person, that person is not ......" She turned around and wanted to ask Lu Mingfei beside her, but the other party did not reply, nor did she look at the girl who was walking towards them, but spoke to others.
Beside him, I don't know when an old man wearing a Chinese dress appeared.
The old man was old, like a foreigner, or a mixed race like her. His wrinkled face like old bark gives people the feeling that he has a deep ancient history like Yanjing City. But the old man's waist was very straight, and there was no sense of twilight at all.
The old man stood beside Lu Mingfei, and there was an inexplicable sense of harmony.
"Welcome, President Lu, and Miss Su." The old man greeted them and easily revealed their identities.
The old man is Lin Fenglong, the owner of "Fenglong Hall". Although there is very little information about him, Su Enxi and Eva, as well as Commissioner Kassel who has been in contact with him before, still know what he looks like.
The invitation was sent by him, and Lu Mingfei was not surprised that he would know their names, but there were not many ordinary people who knew about his identity as the president of the Lionheart Society. However, combined with the mysterious reminder of this Boss Lin before, it doesn't seem strange that he can know such a thing.
The main thing, of course, is that he can feel it. In the body of this Boss Lin, there is a high concentration of dragon blood. According to the classification of the Kassel Academy, it may surpass the vast majority of A-level hybrids, and it is not impossible to even reach the S level. Even though he is in his old age, he is still bright.
Lin Fenglong looked at the girl who was indifferent and walked towards this side with a maid, as if he had a headache, "President Lu's friend doesn't seem to be on our invitation list. Besides, she looks a little bad like this. ”
"She's just here to get something back." Lu Mingfei did not deny that he gave her the news by himself, "After all, what Mr. Lin wants to auction has an unusual meaning to her." ”
"Actually, I didn't want to sell these things......" As if complaining, Lin Fenglong sighed as if compromised, "Okay, we'll vacate a VIP room, can you two share a room?" After all, the young lady...... That His Highness can be regarded as Mr. Lu's relatives and friends. ”
Lu Mingfei shook his head: "I won't trouble Mr. Lin anymore, just use the ordinary one for mine." ”
"We naturally prioritize following the wishes of our guests." Lin Fenglong called the steward to make arrangements, and during this period, the princess of a foreign country stepped on her high heels and looked a little tall.
"It's an honor to wait for your presence, Your Royal Highness." After saying hello in Russian, Lin Fenglong put one hand on his chest and bent down to make an impeccable gentlemanly salute. But wearing his Chinese dress is a bit peaceful.
"Sorry for the neglect, you should have let us know in advance so that we can prepare and get what you need in advance." Although he was facing a girl who was officially recognized as a descendant of the Romanovs in Russia, Lin Fenglong still said polite words like an afterthought.
"I'm here to retrieve something." Zero doesn't have any special emotions, and he doesn't have the pride of being treated specially. She glanced at Lin Fenglong and replied in Chinese, "Of course, it will follow your rules." ”
"That couldn't be better." Lin Fenglong suddenly smiled, and the deep feeling before was gone, and he was like a money fan.
He turned sideways and personally introduced Zero into the venue. It's just that after following along, a slight wind sent the words behind him to Lu Mingfei's ears.
"Watch out for people from Russia." This sentence was very quiet, so small that almost only Lu Mingfei could hear it.
The mysterious boss of "Fenglongtang" can personally appear to greet him, and the guests who come to participate are naturally curious about it. There are also many people who have followed the situation in the West and recognized the identity of the other party, but some people do not care too much about it, after all, their purpose is something else, but not all of them are here for the relics of the Romanov dynasty.
Submit the invitation to enter the venue, and the manor is furnished with a restaurant or theater that looks like the Qing Dynasty. There are red lanterns hanging around, dozens of mahogany round tables and matching seats, and the stage surrounded by wooden railings in the middle, which looks a little crowded, but it is actually quite spacious. On the second floor, there are small private rooms with beaded curtains, which are probably VIP rooms.
Each seat represents an invitation, and the table is already lined with tea, melons and fruits, as well as small signs for the auction. Because they were acquaintances, the hostess led them to two tables close to each other.
Lu Mingfei's seat is on the very side, which is an unusually low-key position that is not easy to notice. Mai, who was dressed as a secretary but had no experience in secretary work, took out the laptop she carried with her and opened it as an elite, but the control of the computer was actually transferred to the control of Su Enxi and Eva.
Before the auction started, Su Xiaoqiao from the other table leaned over: "Isn't that your classmate and subordinates, how did you become a princess and princess?" ”
She eavesdropped on other guests discussing the girl's identity, and heard terms such as the princess of the Romanov family, the descendant of the Tsar, and so on. For Su Xiaoqiao, who grew up in China, princesses only exist in TV series and animations, even in her mother's hometown of Portugal, the royal family was canceled a hundred years ago, and only the territorial Spain still has a royal family, but she has never seen any princesses and princes or anything like that.
And the Russian royal family also disappeared about a hundred years ago. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here, waiting for someone else's collection to come to the stage.
"It's true that she's a classmate, but she can't have another identity." Lu Mingfei replied like this, and then he added, "Moreover, whoever digs up will not dig up a few powerful ancestors." ”
"That's right......" Su Xiaoqiao came back to his senses and nodded, and then came over again as if he was thinking about something.
As if she had been deceived, she asked, "No! You haven't told me what your situation is now! Even if the car was rented, it wasn't cheap, not to mention that it was a school's ......."
On the table closest to the front, the arrogant and glamorous Christina withdrew her gaze from behind, listening carefully to the reports of her colleagues outside the field in the invisible headphones.
"In the VIP room above, there are people we have eyed before but don't dare to get too close, and they may participate in the real auction later." Guests in the VIP room rarely show up and seem to have entered through some other passageway.
"Is that Romanova too?" Cheng Yan, who was disguised as an interpreter, asked in a low voice, and the companions outside told them about the movements after they came in.
The last Romanov princess who came from Russia, along with the investigators of the Russian Federation, was somewhat unexpected. The Russian investigators have checked with the other side, and have not found any records of this person in and out of the camera recently. According to the information they pieced together, the Romanovs returned to Russia as financial magnates after nearly a hundred years of hiding, and quickly occupied a place.
And the identity of the princess can also be seen as a transaction in the commercial sense. But it still makes them value, and they don't know if this person is here just to get something back, as she said, or if it has a deeper meaning. If not handled properly, the task of finding evidence of the crimes of transnational smuggling organizations is likely to escalate into a diplomatic issue between the two countries.
"It's been confirmed here, she entered the country from Xiangjiang Kai Tak Airport half a month ago, and she has been staying in the Mandarin Hotel, which is still open, during this period." The intelligence officer outside replied.
Half a month ago, it was when they were still looking for clues about this auction in Manyanjing. While waiting for the above response, Christina, who had been secretly watching the movement behind her, stood up.
"I think we need a little bit of help."
……
In the brightly lit tunnel, the running subway roared past in front of him, and after the tail lights disappeared, he continued to wait for a while before Chu Zihang slowly walked out of the dark alley on the side of the tunnel. He looked left and right, clenching the hilt of the knife at his waist.
The place where he was now was the same as the Nibelungen that he had strayed into before, but in a slightly different place. It's the same environment here as it is there, and it's the same dead silence and lifeless feeling. The difference is that this side is much more "lively" than there.
There are two Nibelungens, or two Nibelungens under Yanjing.
Needless to say, the subway that didn't exist over there, and these still running iron things made him think he was back in the subway station in the downtown area of Yanjing at first. On top of that, those subways have "passengers" on them. It's the monster-like Deadpool who should have died, but somewhere between life and death, between man and dragon.
Weasels, which I have encountered over there before, are almost everywhere here. If it weren't for the amulet that the Lionheart Guild senior gave him to conceal his breath, he might have exchanged fire with the guys who wandered back here.
Pursing his lips, he put away his irritability. Sticking to the side of the tunnel, he walked along the platform he remembered leading to the palace.
