088. The princes inside and outside refer to each other as thieves

088, the kings and princes inside and outside are pointing at each other

Marquis Punis Lington entered the ancient and novel country of Zhixu Kingdom for the first time. At the airport, his first impression of the people here was that he was hospitality. Although he was entering the country as a private person, the staff of the Uyou Municipal Foreign Affairs Office took the initiative to greet him at the airport, welcomed him into a special VIP channel and dispersed several gossip magazine reporters who rushed to the news.

Then his second impression of the locals became a little bad, thinking that these people were sophisticated and snobbish. He was noble, used to the politeness of others, but did not like excessive unnecessary enthusiasm. The reception staff who had never met had always accompanied him to greet him and speak a few bad auspicious words from time to time, which made him feel very uncomfortable. His Zhixu spoke fluently in Mandarin, and his native language was Spia.

Foreign affairs officials who came to greet him kept asking about the purpose of the visit to Uyu this time, asking him if he had any investment intentions? He also tirelessly introduced the local preferential policies and development advantages compared with other places in the Zhixu Kingdom. The Marquis of Lington was a little impatient because although he was a rich man, he was not a businessman, and his family's wealth was handed over to a special trust fund to manage him just for money. However, the Marquis of Lington received good etiquette education and always paid attention to behavior comparable to his identity. Although he was impatient and even disgusted, he still maintained a polite demeanor.

Uyou City officially arranged the highest-end presidential suite for the Marquis of Lington at the Champs-Elysées, and equipped him with a private car, a driver and a security guard, and was still asking him what else he needed? All of this was provided by Uyou City for free, which made the Marquis of Lington a little puzzled and even despised. Why did they use public finances to receive a transit tourist like himself? He did not have official business this time but only had a private identity, although he held a diplomatic passport when entering the country.

Despite his contempt, Marquis Lington accepted the reception calmly because he really needed it in this strange place, and later he thought that his noble identity should be treated with special courtesy in this place, but he firmly refused the security guards arranged by Zhixu official for him, because he thought he could completely protect himself.

Who is the Marquis of Punis Lington? He is a member of the royal family of the Spia Kingdom. He is the nephew of Spia's current king Lucas II. He ranks eighth in the order of succession to the crown prince. Not only that, he is also a famous philanthropist and social activist in the Roba League. He is 39 years old and single unmarried. Marquis Lington comes from a famous family, with a noble status, handsome, rich, and elegant demeanor. He is the focus of attention in the celebrity circle wherever he goes. He was once rated as one of the most attractive "Diamond Kings" in the world by an internationally renowned entertainment magazine.

The Roba Alliance is a consortium of many countries, including parliamentary, presidential, constitutional monarchy, and the Kingdom of Spia is also a very important member. The Holy Mountain Gambides where the Holy Church is located is also within the territory of the Roba Alliance. It is not large but is independent of other countries. It is a country that belongs to God in name but actually belongs to the Holy Church. The Holy Church has had an inseparable close relationship with the nobles of various countries since ancient times, and has always supported each other in secular interests and spiritual status. The Marquis of Lington actually had a special secret mission when he came to Zhixu Kingdom this time. He was the special envoy sent by the Pope to the Kunlun continent to pass on the edict.

Why did the Pope send such a famous figure as the "secret envoy"? First, because the identity of Duke Lington allowed him to get a lot of help and convenience from all countries' officials, and second, he volunteered. In addition to his superficial identity, Punis Lington is also a "cultivator" in the Western continent. He began to learn martial arts at the age of six and twelve to initially master the use of fighting spirit. At the age of eighteen, he went to the Magic Academy in Mount Gambidis to study various magic. Whether it is martial arts or magic cultivation, he is the best among his peers.

Although the Marquis of Lington did not have an open priesthood, he was a liaison between the Spian royal family and the Holy See. If necessary, he could enter the Holy See at any time to assume the duties of the Templar Knight. His identity, known by the Holy See as the "Guardian" and was recognized by the Pope and blessed himself. On the other hand, he was one of Avtina's many suitors in the secular world, and was the most fanatical and famous among them - almost the upper class of the entire Roba League.

Avtina was born into a noble family of Vina, a noble family with a long history in the Tulip Principality. Most people do not know that she and her younger brother Adillo Vina are both current Templars in the Holy See, and her father was once a Templar. She died in the battle with dark creatures. The siblings can be said to have inherited the glory of the family tradition.

Avtina's identity in the secular world is the investment director of the Financial Group of the Roba Alliance. There are many occasions to show up. She is noble, rich, beautiful, and has many suitors. She has never expressed her feelings, because she is a Templar Knight, and love belongs to God. Avtina's words to reject all admirers are only this - my love belongs to God! The Marquis Lington knew Avtina's identity in the Holy See, but he still did not hide his fanatical love for her. He even personally found the Pope to express his feelings for Avtina and asked for blessings, but the Pope could not help but reject his request.

This time, Avtena and Bishop Lasis of Uyou Diocese accused each other. The Holy See sent Archbishop Kregan to deal with it with it with full authority. In fact, he wanted to execute Qingchen and suppress the matter. Unexpectedly, only Avtena came back alive. Avtena did not lie, and told the whole story of what happened on the island, which shocked the Holy See!

After Avtina met the Pope, she was left in the Gambides Mountain and was constantly questioned by different people again and again. She repeated what happened that day countless times, so that every detail could be recited at any time. Some things she didn't want to say were not hidden, including her duel with Mr. Mei but was rejected, and she also recalled the past twenty-three years ago, which was undoubtedly another shame for both herself and the entire Holy See. However, in order to prove her innocence and loyalty, she had to explain everything at that time.

In the name of investigation, this endless interrogation is actually equivalent to putting Avtina under house arrest. Whether it is the influence of the Wiener family or Avtina's former merits, the Holy See will not deal with her easily, but the losses and insults suffered by the Holy See in the Battle of the Island are unprecedented. The Pope believes that what Avtina said is true, and this is the conclusion he came to send different people to interrogate repeatedly from different angles, which shocked him even more - there were only three people on the other side, and the Kunlun leader Umeno Ishi took action to show such a powerful force! This means that the invasion strategy of the Holy See and Western secular forces throughout the Kunlun continent needs to be readjusted.

The young students from the Gambidis Seminary, Magic Academy and Knight Training Camp heard a little news and pretended to go to Zhixu Kingdom to take revenge. This matter was suppressed by the majestic elders. Pope Homoro III recruited senior clergy in the Vatican to discuss it for a week, and finally made a decision. The specific content of the decision was kept confidential, but then decided to send a special envoy to Zhixu Kingdom with the Pope's edict and a letter to the Kunlun League leader, and handed it to the city of Maro at the foot of the Gambidis Mountains, where Mr. Mei Yeshi, who had arrived at this time.

In addition to sending letters and tempting Kunlun practitioners' reactions to the Pope's edict, the Marquis of Lington also had another task to investigate the "insider" of the island incident. Although the Pope and others believed Avtina's words, there was no circumstance evidence when Krigan and others died. Someone must be sent to investigate the truth of the incident and other things that Avtina did not know or said. The Duke of Lington came with these two tasks. Of course, he wanted to prove Avtina's innocence. In addition to the leader of Kunlun, he really wanted to meet the legendary Feng Junzi. But his most important task was to deliver the letter to the Pope.

The letter was written to the leader of Kunlun League Mei Yeshi, but it was difficult to deliver. It was impossible to write "Kunlun League Master" and then throw it into the mailbox. Mei Yeshi's Sanmeng Sect Taoist Temple, Plum Blossom Scene, ordinary people don't know that even practitioners can't go in. The place where the leader of Kunlun League is usually in the center is the Jingshui Zhiwei Tower. Bai Shaoliu knows it, but Marquis Lington doesn't know because no one has told him. What Mr. Mei said on the island was to give a notice, telling the people of the Holy See what to do, there was no intention of negotiating, and he didn't even leave a contact information.

In Marquis Lington's idea, the Kunlun practitioners may be similar to those of the Western Holy See. If you find one of the practitioners, you can find Mei Yeshi. But the only "practice" he can find is Bai Shaoliu, a fake. Avtana did not understand Bai Shaoliu's situation, so he naturally regarded Xiaobai and Qingchen as practitioners like Mei Yeshi. Duke Lington first found Bai Shaoliu's residence based on the clues she explained. Who is Bai Shaoliu called Wu You famous? Marquis Lington just said that he wanted to visit a friend and said Bai Shaoliu's name. Someone immediately found Xiaobai's address.

The day after arriving in Wuyou City, the Marquis of Lington came to Xiaobai's residence. He asked the driver to listen to the car outside the community, and accompanied everyone on the excuse of private visits and rejecting everyone. He walked alone to the downstairs of Bai Shaoliu's house. The community where Xiaobai lives is close to the center of Wuyou City, and is quite high-end among ordinary residential houses. The so-called high-end means that the environment is cleaner and better greening. The residential buildings here are similar to other places. Each unit has an anti-theft iron door at the entrance, and every household also has anti-theft doors. Anti-theft guardrails are also installed on the windows on the first and second floors. There are door sign buttons on the corridor door. Press a certain door number to talk to a certain household. The intercom is visible in one-way. People inside can see who rings the doorbell at home. If it is a guest, open the electronic door lock on the corridor.

Of course, Punis Lington has never lived in such a place, or even a passerby in such a family. It feels a bit funny when you walk into this community - how can these Zhixu people lock themselves in cages? Isn’t there a security guard in this residential area?

When he walked to the corridor, he found that the iron gate was closed. Marquis Lington opened the door without thinking, and just used a simple and clever air magic to suppress the Suo Huang. However, before he could enter, a stick came out behind him and poked the iron gate. The corridor door slammed and closed again!

Lington flashed and turned to the side, and found someone looking at him fiercely. The man was chaotic and ragged at first glance, but when he looked carefully, he looked very young but in his early twenties. This man should be a scavenger or a homeless man. No matter who he looked at at first glance, he would think so. There were also slums and ragged trash dumps in Spia Kingdom City. But Marquis Lington thought this man was unusual when he glanced over.

The man's clothes were torn, but his body was not dirty, and there was no oil, sludge and dirt. His hands were also very clean and his nails were trimmed. What was even more interesting was that although his hair was messy, he could look carefully at the hair without any dirt and even dandruff. What surprised Lington even more was that the man suddenly stretched out a stick from behind and he didn't react until he was very close. This was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

Marquis Lington was looking at the man in surprise, but the strange man spoke first. He pointed at Marquis Lington and said, "As soon as you came over, I noticed that you didn't have the key to the corridor but wanted to open the door. I couldn't agree. If the thing that someone put in the corridor was lost, you would definitely suspect that I stole it!"

Marquis Lington asked inexplicably: "Who is lost? Who are you?"

The man took back his stick and pointed at himself with one hand and said, "I am just a rag picker. I have an agreement with the security guard in the community. I will collect all the rags in this community by myself. The garbage station is also my territory. What are you doing?"

This question was choked, and it sounded like the Marquis of Lington was coming to compete for trash and rags with him. As a nobleman like Lington, of course he looked down on such people at all. Although he looked down on him, he always paid attention to maintaining his demeanor. He smiled and asked, "Do you think I am here to compete for business with you? I am from the Marquis of Lington, the Kingdom of Spia. When I visited a friend here, he lived in this building."

Picking up the rag and curled his lips: "What's wrong with dressing cleanly and neatly? My wife is dressed like an intellectual, specializing in picking bottles in the garbage cans in high-end shopping malls... Are you a Hou? I am a prince! Everyone here calls me a rag king."

The Marquis of Lington still smiled and said, "Mr. Dao Wang, I am indeed here to visit my friend. Please get out of the way. This building is not your home!"

The Dao Wang: "That's not your house either! You can't open the door like this! You press the walkie-talkie and press the number of whom you want to go to. Someone inside can put you in. I will stare at you here."

At this moment, two people walked out of the corners of the building on both sides and came close at a fast speed, clamping the ragged king on the left and right. One of them asked: "Mr. Lington, are you in any trouble? Has this person blackmailed you?" These two people were sent by the Uyou Municipal officials to protect the safety of the Marquis of Lington. Although he refused the bodyguards arranged by the reception staff, the Uyou Municipal Foreign Affairs Office secretly arranged the police's plainclothes.

When the ragged king saw someone clamping him around, he shouted in dissatisfaction: "It's not illegal to pick rags. Who doesn't know about me, ragged king? I'm helping the community to prevent thieves, otherwise the security guards would suspect that I stole it if I lost things. You don't want to inquire about when the community has lost things? It's all because I'm here!"

Marquis Lington quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, a small misunderstanding has nothing to do with you. I don't know how to enter the corridor door, but this gentleman taught me to use the walkie-talkie. Now it's okay, I know how to ring the doorbell!" Marquis Lington didn't want to have any disputes. His dignified royal nobleman was suspected of being a thief in Zhixu Country. If such a thing is on gossip magazine, it will definitely become a joke in the celebrity society.

Zhuang Ru had just received a call from Xiaobai at home. On the phone, Xiaobai told her and Qingchen that she had got off the train and were about to take a taxi home. Zhuang Ru put down the phone and said to Huang Jing: "Xiaobai is finally back and will be home soon, and take the girl named Qingcheng I told you... He is also a martial arts practitioner. The girl probably learned martial arts with him. There was nothing wrong with her at home. Xiaobai likes to help others."

Zhuang Ru has never been very clear about the relationship between Xiaobai and Huang Jing, so she also explained to Huang Jing a few words. She knew that the person Xiaobai brought back was the killer Qingchen, but she did not tell Huang Jing about these - this was Xiaobai's special instructions. Zhuang Ru knew about Qingchen's identity, so don't tell anyone, otherwise it would be bad for anyone. Huang Jing was a little confused, but she still said with a smile: "Sister Zhuang, Xiaobai is indeed kind-hearted and not afraid of causing trouble for herself."

Just then the doorbell rang. Zhuang Ru went to the door and picked up the walkie-talkie microphone and saw several people in the LCD screen. The ragged rag king in the community seemed to be among them. But the other people didn't know each other, she asked strangely: "Who? What's the matter?"

The Marquis of Lington downstairs heard the question coming from the speakers, which was a woman's voice. He replied politely: "I am Pedroco Fered Neilchovia from the Kingdom of Spia... Marquis of Punis Lington XVII..."
