Chapter 517 Extra The Princess and the Shadow 27

In the two years after Berlin "left", her third brother John often stayed by her side and asked her all kinds of questions.

At first, Alice was immersed in the pain of losing her lover and didn't think much about it. She just thought that he simply felt sorry for her sister and was very grateful to him.

But as time goes by, flaws will always appear.

After noticing John's thoughts, she not only felt estranged from him, but also alienated him. After all, regardless of this at the time, John really helped her a lot.

Shen Mingjiao swallowed: "So that John went to great lengths to launch a palace coup and almost killed Fu Guang, not because he wanted to be the emperor, but for the sake of his mother and concubine."

Shen Mingjiao was speechless. This plot was so bloody. Being treated as a substitute for a loved one by her biological father was not included. Her half-brothers were all crazy and they all had strong thoughts about her. The script

I don’t even dare to write that!

I have to say that it is not easy for Alice to live like this in an environment full of lunatics!

This was the first time Fu Guang heard his mother mention these things, and he was a little disgusted for a moment.

Shen Mingjiao asked curiously: "Then John must be dead! How did he die?"

Fu Guang said coldly: "After the failure, he was trapped in the dormitory and burned himself."

…

An An and Jing Qi walked around the area. The two children came to the port where they escaped from the boat last time. An An followed the example of an adult and sighed in an old-fashioned way: "We are revisiting our old place!"

Jing Qi eagerly stared at a small fishing boat docked at the port. The two grew up together, and An An knew what he was thinking without having to guess: "If you want to learn rowing, take me with you! Otherwise, I will go back and tell mother

relative."

Jingqi's face was expressionless: "Then I won't learn any more," and then she went to play elsewhere.

"Hey..." An An grabbed his arm and said speechlessly: "If you grow up and do business, you will definitely suffer losses. How can you be like this? You may not even give a counter-offer."

Jingqi: "I'm not interested in doing business."

An An was furious: "Use an analogy, do you understand?"

In the end, An An couldn't row the boat, mainly because she was not strong enough and she was so small that she might not be able to hold the oar firmly. She could only watch Jingqi helplessly on the shore as she slowly and skillfully slid the oar under the guidance of the sailor.

.

Although Jingqi is only seven or eight years old, he is naturally strong and taller than other children of the same age.

An An clenched her little fists, bent her elbows and pinched her shoulders. Are they soft? Hey... She also wants to grow strong muscles like her father!

When the time comes, she will become a heroine, roam the world, and be invincible!

The little girl was sitting cross-legged on the beach with her chin in her hands, her imagination getting higher and higher.

Suddenly, the thought of a heavy object falling to the ground came to her ears. Disturbed by her thoughts, An An pouted and turned her head in search of a sound.

Not far away, I saw a man with disheveled hair who seemed to be exhausted and fell down.

The man tried hard to get up, but he couldn't get up after trying several times. His big rough and cracked hands hung down helplessly.

Although she couldn't control all the injustices in the world, since she happened to meet him, An An asked Tangtang who was following him to give the man some water.

Not long after, Tangtang came back and whispered: "That man has a slave mark on his face. He must be a coolie on the island. He fainted due to exhaustion after working for a long time without getting a good rest."

After the words fell, the man reluctantly stood up, walked over and bowed to An An from a distance to thank him.

An An waved her hand politely, raised her head and glanced at the other person's face casually, then she couldn't help but widen her eyes and blinked.

Hey, I seem to have seen this person somewhere!

At this time, Jingqi happened to be thirsty and went ashore to drink water. When she saw the man standing not far away, she was also stunned.

"You are the uncle who helped us escape on Casey's boat last time!"

When Jing Qi said this, An An also remembered that a few months ago, Casey pretended to be an aunt and arrested her and Jing Qi. When they were on Casa Island, the two almost alerted the guards when they escaped. At the critical moment, a man on the boat was

The uncle with a slave mark on his face helped them.

Later, my father told me that they had run away, and the people on the boat were afraid of being implicated, so they all packed up their belongings and ran away.

Because the man was too slovenly at this time, An An did not recognize him immediately.

She felt that she was a child who repaid her kindness. After learning that this man had been their savior, she hurriedly went to get him food.

The man took it with some trepidation, thanked him and devoured it. The two children squatted down and stared at him curiously.

An An asked: "Uncle, what is your name?"

Jing Qi: "Uncle, aren't you good at martial arts? Why..." You're so bad!

The man said nothing, pointed to his throat, and lowered his head sadly.

A Dayue Kingdom guard who followed over explained in a low voice: "This person should be the lowest sin slave. They are usually slaves who are sold after their masters have an accident. In order to make these people obedient, some buyers will poison the slaves."

Throat so that it can be used better."

It sounds quite pitiful.

Mainly thinking that this person had saved them, the two children decided to take the person back first after discussing it, and then let the adults come forward to express their thanks.

The man seemed to have lost his temper with reality and followed them numbly.

As he entered this luxurious inn, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes covered by his messy hair.

…

The sun is about to set, and walking on the beach seems to be coated with a layer of light.

Alice was barefoot, feeling the soft and warm gauze brushing against her insteps, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks could be heard from time to time. Such a pleasant scenery made people feel better inexplicably.

She turned around casually as she had so many times in her memory. This time, there was finally no empty space behind her. The shadow followed her not far or near.

The tip of Alice's nose was a little sore.

She stopped and turned around to look at him. Berlin walked a few steps closer and stood side by side with her.

Alice held his hand: "You are no longer my shadow, you don't have to walk behind me,"

Berlin shook his head: "Get used to it. That will make it easier to protect you."

The two walked hand in hand on the beach. Alice raised her head and saw the changes in the world. When they met again, the man next to her had weathered weather on her temples, but her back was still straight.

She said with emotion: "I have known you for so many years, and it seems that I have never watched the sunset side by side so leisurely."

For the past ten years, he had been her shadow. Although they got along day and night, she rarely talked to him. She was just used to having such a person following her silently.

Later, the two met again in Daxia. After returning home, they faced all the swords and swords. Her mind was almost entirely focused on how to take revenge and seize the throne. Except for certain times, the two of them were in a tense state.

After finally getting revenge, the two of them could be together well, but something happened again in Berlin...

Alice squeezed Berlin's hand tightly: "My life has been full of ups and downs, but in my heart, the best time is not the years of pampering and wantonness in the castle when I was young, but the years of danger after returning to China."

Because this person has always been with her and fought alongside her.

She shook Berlin's arm and said speechlessly: "You never give me a response. You were like this when you were a child, and you are still like this when you are older!"

Berlin unscrewed the water bag and handed it to her, saying silently: "The days with the princess are the best,"

This was an answer to what she just said, and Alice was finally satisfied. The two of them happened to pass by a lively small market at this time.

Casa Island is as big as a province, and there are some civilians living on the island, but the living conditions of these residents are not very good.

Alice was in a rare mood and took Berlin around the market. In order not to disturb her master, several guards followed her from a distance.

Alice bought a bunch of useless gadgets, and Berlin took them easily. Alice explained uncomfortably: "I bought them for An An to play with."

Berlin didn't speak, and only looked at her softly. At this time, Alice had some traces of the innocence and wantonness of her youth.

When he went back, looking at the pile of things, he rarely smiled and said, "An An looks very much like you when you were a child."

Alice picked up a bamboo whistle and put it to her lips and blew:

"No, that little girl is smarter than me! She is also luckier than me."

With elders like them here, An An can always be a pampered and wanton little princess as long as she wants.

At this moment, a little beggar of eight or nine years old rushed over and knelt at their feet, crying with snot and tears:

"Two nobles, please be kind. My mother is sick and needs money to buy medicine. Please..." After saying that, he kowtowed.

The guard following behind him frowned, and just as he was about to step forward, Berlin took out the money bag at his waist and took some silver and handed it to him.

The little beggar was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't have much hope, and then he excitedly took the money and kowtowed heavily to thank him. He untied a large wooden bottle from his body and put it in Berlin's hand:

"This is the most decent thing I have. Thank you, uncle. You are such a good person. You will definitely be rewarded." After saying that, he grabbed the money and ran away.

Alice laughed at him: "This kid is probably a liar!"

Not all children are simply ignorant. Some of the children who have lived in the Black Triangle have killed people even at a young age. Using children as bait to deceive businessmen is a common practice.

During her years as queen, she had been exposed to too many incredible cases, so she said that the little boy just now was probably a liar.

Berlin didn't care: "As long as you have a clear conscience, what if that child really encounters difficulties!"

Alice sighed: "You are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all!" She was cold but soft-hearted.

"But the development power of each country is still not strong enough! It would be great if one day the people of Oyue Kingdom could be fed and clothed!"

She just said casually, after all, although Da Yue's national power is still strong, if all the people are to be fed and clothed, it will not be possible for at least another thousand years!

…

On the other side, the two children returned to the inn with someone, and An An asked the maid: "Where are my parents, aunts, and grandparents?"

The maid replied respectfully: "Everyone except the prince is in their respective rooms."

An An asked someone to get some food for the sloppy man following behind, and then went to Shen Mingjiao's room.

Shen Mingjiao, who heard the commotion at this time, happened to come out, glanced at the slovenly man standing awkwardly in Datang through the fence on the second floor, and asked the two children: "This is..."

An An pulled Shen Mingjiao into the room and explained the cause and effect of the incident.

Shen Mingjiao touched her head: "Well, An An did a good job. As human beings, we must know how to repay kindness. Since someone saved you, we must thank him properly."

After that, he called the waiter and asked the kitchen to prepare a table for the man, intending to entertain the man well.

Soon the dishes were put on the table. The man changed into clean clothes, but he still cowered and lowered his head, his eyes numb.

Shen Mingjiao warmly greeted the other party to eat the food and toasted him with a glass of wine: "My husband and mother-in-law have something to do and they can't leave. Today I will entertain you. I would like to thank you for your help in rescuing my children at this critical moment."

She spoke in Chinese, and the man obviously didn't understand, but he could roughly guess the meaning, so he waved her hand in flattery.

This meal was considered a feast for both the host and the guest. Although the man could not speak, Shen Mingjiao and An An talked from time to time, so the atmosphere did not seem awkward.

After dinner, Shen Mingjiao asked someone to take the man to the side room to rest:

"If you have nothing to do, please stay at the inn for now. When my husband is done with his work, I will express my sincere thanks to you."

After taking a look at the elegantly decorated inn, the man hesitated for a few moments and finally refused.

After everyone left, Shen Mingjiao waved to An An and the others to go back to the room to read, and then walked up to Fu Guang's room.

An An's big eyes moved quickly, and he was about to follow quietly, but someone grabbed him by his collar.

An An stared and said with her mouth: Why are you pulling me? Mom is acting weird, there is obviously something going on!

Jingqi dragged him back to the room and said with a serious face:

"That's an adult matter, and it must be a very serious matter. At this time, children can't cause trouble, you know?"

An An pursed her lips, but didn't say anything more about going out.

In the room, the man took off his clothes. If anyone happened to open the door and saw him, they would be shocked. They saw that his body was covered with gunpowder. He took off the gunpowder layer by layer and turned it over on the table, with a strange smile on his face.

laugh

…

The sun has completely set and the sky is getting darker. However, the nightlife of some people in Casa Island has just begun, so it is also very lively at night.

Alice didn't plan to continue shopping, but before that, she had to go somewhere.

"I just received the news half a month ago. I heard that Peter is now in Casa Island. There will be a large auction here in a few days. The boy took a fancy to a lot and came all the way here! He is also forty.

There are too many people, and I can’t keep my appearance all day long!”

Even though she said this, there was a hint of endearment in the corner of her mouth.

Peter is a child of the Russell royal family. His parents died early and he was often bullied by people in the group. Alice saw him as pitiful and took care of him for a few years.

Later, it became clear that it was Peter who took Alice back to China in the name of being the envoy to Daxia.

When Peter was mentioned, Berlin couldn't help but smile a little, "Is he married now?"

Alice sighed: "Don't mention it, it's my fault. Seven years ago, Daxia Jing and Di Qianqiu just happened to get married, so I sent him as an envoy to Daxia, mainly to give Shengsheng a wedding gift.

.

As a result, he was fascinated by the mountains and rivers of Daxia, and then he resigned from his official position and began to travel around the world. Not to mention getting married, I haven’t seen him for several years..."

She was chattering, and it was obvious that the two of them had been on good terms over the years.

Berlin grabbed her hand: "Then let's go! I remember he likes to eat sweets, and there happens to be a dessert shop there."

Alice had asked the guards to inquire about Peter's residence in advance. The group of people rode horses for half an hour and arrived at a manor.

When the old housekeeper saw the visitor, he was so excited that he knelt down: "...Why did you come in person?"

Alice smiled and waved her hand, saying hello in a familiar tone: "Butler Ryan, how are you doing recently?"

Butler Ryan said with a respectful smile: "Please bear with me, everything is fine.

You are here to see your husband, right? By coincidence, your husband heard that you are coming to Casa Island and is preparing to visit us tomorrow. You should be having dinner in the dining room right now." He said as he led the way.

They were very familiar with Peter. When Alice heard that Peter was having dinner, she smiled rudely and said:

"Well, it just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, so Berlin brought him some desserts."

The group of people came to the dining room. Peter's habit of dining was to keep the door of the dining room tightly closed. There was a pleasant sound of music playing in the dining room. From a distance, through the blurry glass window, Peter seemed to be eating with his back to them.

Alice smiled and joked: "This boy is getting better and better at enjoying himself, tsk! I've already used the piano and violin, all I need is a candlelight dinner!"

After saying that, he raised his feet to walk in, but accidentally stepped on a puddle of water and his feet slipped. Bolin skillfully held the person and opened the door of the dining room.

…

in the inn,

Before the man could take action, he was knocked down by a man in black who came out of nowhere.

Fu Guang stepped forward, with Feng Lisheng and Shen Mingjiao standing behind him. Fu Guang glanced at the pile of gunpowder. These gunpowders were all of the highest quality. If used properly, it would not be a problem to blow up the entire inn in an instant.

She looked like a frightened and struggling man again, and her voice was cold: "John, let's capture him without mercy!"

The man was still struggling and shook his head in confusion after hearing this. Anyone who saw the sincere look in his eyes would think that they had arrested the wrong person.

Several people present were unmoved. There are some people in this world who can deceive themselves even when they are disguised. The former prince is a living example.

Fu Guang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he directly asked someone to hold his face. After a while, the slave mark on his face was still there, but his facial features had completely changed.

At first, he was an ordinary person who could not be recognized in a crowd, but now the disguise is removed, revealing an evil and showy face. The kind that you will never forget after just one look.

The disguise was forcibly removed, and John finally stopped pretending and asked coldly: "How did you discover me?"

Because of this series of events, there is a hand pushing behind them, and the purpose seems to be to let them go to the Mayan City and discover Berlin trapped there.

Of course, the person behind it would definitely not be out of kindness and want their family to reunite, otherwise they wouldn't have done this.

Berlin said before that Barron might still be alive. After reasoning, there were only two suspects, John and Barron. Although both of them were apparently dead, they were both thoughtful people. Who knew what was going on?

Could there be something fishy?

Fu Guang and the others had been waiting for the other party to take the initiative. Until An An returned to the inn with a sloppy man.

Even though John's disguise was realistic enough, Shen Mingjiao and the others were all human beings, so how could they not see something strange about him.

However, Fu Guang was obviously too lazy to explain too much to the other party. He just asked in a business-like manner: "What do you plan to use these gunpowder for? Also, how did you escape in the first place?"

John sneered: "It's pointless to ask knowingly. I tried my best to reunite your family, but of course I wanted to completely destroy you when you were happiest.

Oh, but my sister has to live and slowly experience this blow, so that she can always remember me as her brother, haha..."

His eyes were crazy, just like the paranoid and crazy villain in the storybook who was driven by love and hatred.

Fu Guang interrupted him in a cold voice, implicating his mother and wanting to tear him into pieces: "Shut up, you are brothers and sisters!"

"So what? As long as I like her, it doesn't matter who she is."

Seeing that nothing could be done, Fu Guang was about to ask someone to take him down for later disposal, but Shen Mingjiao, who was standing beside him, always felt that something was wrong.

All this seems reasonable. John is a madman at the end of his rope, so he wants to die with everyone.

But John's paranoid demeanor when he mentioned Alice just now proved that his goal was only for Alice from beginning to end, and he didn't care about others, or even his own life and death, so...

She raised her head sharply and asked, "Where is the concubine? Where did the concubine go?" After saying that, she stared at John.

Seeing her reaction, John couldn't help laughing: "Haha... my sister's children are really smart! But it's too late."

His eyes were crazy and he murmured: "I saw my dead lover on the same day, and my lover died again before nightfall. From heaven to hell, my sister will definitely be in pain!"

And this pain... I brought her, so... she can remember me until she dies, even if she hates me, that's good!"

Perhaps the father and son of the Russell royal family share the same paranoia. Alice's father did not hesitate to snatch his wife in order to get the so-called true love.

John had been unpopular since he was a child and would secretly look up to his dazzling sister. However, at some point, his admiration changed.

But at that time, he was just a playboy who was not taken seriously. No matter how many thoughts he had, he only dared to keep them in his heart.

After learning that Alice wanted to elope with Berlin, he felt fear and secretly revealed the news to Barron. At that time, he just wanted to see Alice from time to time. He didn't want Berlin to take her away. But

I never thought that Barron would do those things.

In fact, it doesn't matter how deeply John loves Alice. It's just that as the saying goes, "What you can't get is always the best." In addition, he is already paranoid, and this gradually becomes his obsession.

…

The moment Berlin opened the door and saw the scene in the room, his expression changed. He subconsciously pushed Alice away.

Inside the room, Peter was tied to a stool, his mouth was gagged, and there was enough gunpowder tied to his chest to burn the dining room to the ground.

The fuse has been ignited, and in less than twenty puffs, the gunpowder will completely detonate.

Peter shook his head desperately at him, motioning for him to run.

Outside the door, Alice had just gotten up, realized something was wrong, and was about to let someone rush in. At this time, she heard a "clang" sound, and a tall circular iron fence fell from above her head, sealing the dining room.

It was wrapped in a prison, blocking her way. The door to the dining room was also locked at the same time.

This series of changes only happened in a blink of an eye. With the twisted laughter of Butler Lane, Alice realized what? She climbed up the iron fence with her feet.

However, the sad thing is that the time left for them is less than twenty puffs. It may only be enough time for her to lift her foot once. Even if the guard is the best in light skills, it will take forty puffs at the fastest to break open the dining room door.

Berlin stood in front of the window, took one last look at his princess, and gave her an apologetic smile.

I'm sorry! I have to leave you again. This time... I can't come back to you no matter how hard I try!
