"Teacher He Xi, this way please!"

Outside the castle, the three of Meng Huo met Anne who had been waiting for a long time, and walked into the castle under her guidance. (Baidu search website is the fastest and most stable update) .T.

"Miss Annie, we are the only guests this time, right?"

"Of course, this is a private dinner prepared for you by your Excellency." Annie smiled, and she did not introduce herself, but after so many years, He Xi still remembers her who met once: "Mr. He Xi, your memory is really good." Well...Miss Shen Jie is also good."

Shen Jie also recognized her, but Annie almost didn't recognize these two young people—but it's no wonder that He Xi and Shen Jie were both in their teenage years, but now their appearances have changed drastically, and they have become adults. people.

"Miss Anne, I have a question." At this time, Alice also spoke: "Why do people here seem to know me?"

After she got out of the car, she felt that something was wrong. Walking on the road, the servants and guards around her looked at her strangely, as if seeing a familiar person, and their attitude was more respectful-but Alice didn't come Passing here, why do those people look at her with such eyes?

But Meng Huo and Shen Jie didn't feel this way at all. When Alice said it, Meng Huo also noticed something was wrong, and was about to ask, but Annie had already given the 'answer': "Probably they misunderstood... Miss Alice, you look a bit like a royal princess who comes here occasionally!"

/

Shen Jie laughed: "Alice, your mother won't have anything to do with the royal family here!"

"Impossible, it should be a coincidence!" Alice shook her head: "My mother told me about her life experience, and she has nothing to do with the royal family for eight lifetimes."

This should just be a coincidence. Alice knew her mother's identity. Her mother was just a commoner. He has lived in a small city for generations—and his father's side is even more impossible. If he has a relationship with the royal family, how could he end up going to the Far East to cheat for food and drink.

"What's that princess's name?" Meng Huo asked curiously.

"Princess Soanna." Anne lied without blinking an eye: "Her father is a duke. He said he was a royal, but in fact he only had such a small part of the royal blood, and he couldn't be said to be a real princess. Our country has Hundreds of such princesses."

"Hundreds!?" Upon hearing the number, Meng Huo was speechless: "You have enough princesses.

"

He and Alice immediately lost interest in finding the princess. This was just an episode, and none of them suspected anything—even if Alice's mother was present, she would not be able to guess that the man would add a half-sister to Alice.

And even if there was such a possibility, it was impossible for Alice's younger sister to be known by the servants of the Duke's Mansion. Lisa's deeds are full of chance. If you are not in it, you will never believe that a girl is so lucky.

Anthony's duke's mansion has a banquet hall, but this time only three guests are invited. Anne put the banquet venue in the restaurant where the host usually eats.

"After so many years, Your Excellency the Duke still looks so good." Meng Huo saw Duke Anthony outside the restaurant, but he hadn't seen him for several years. His complexion has not changed at all, and it can be seen that he has paid attention to and maintained himself on weekdays.

He, Alice, and Shen Jie greeted Duke Anthony one after another. The old prince smiled.

"This little guy has a lot of luck." As he thought so, everyone in Huaxia thought that He Xi had gone out to travel to gather scenery. Who would have thought that he would go out for a trip with *hug*right* embraced on both sides—and the three of them lived in the same room .

With young men and women so close together, Anthony would not be naive to believe that there was nothing between them. But everyone has a young age, he was not as clean as He Xi when he was young, and he had many girls around him. Although he had no choice in the end, only Annie was left, but Anthony had no right to speak ill of He Xi.

Perhaps because he was in a foreign country, Meng Huo did not deny his relationship with Shen Jie and the others in front of Anthony.

"I'm back at Meng's house." He said lightly, "The two of them are my women."

Just such a sentence, Anthony immediately understood everything. The Meng family is a big family in China, and having two daughters-in-law is not a big deal-he was not very surprised. After returning from Ninghai a few years ago without success, Anthony He knew that Meng Huo would return to the Meng family sooner or later.

"I know what you mean." Anthony looked at Meng Huo with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't do meaningless things."

It is meaningless to announce the fact that Meng Huo stepped on two boats. With the protection of the Meng family there, even if the matter is announced, they can quickly extinguish the situation - on the contrary, Anthony's side will arouse the anger of the Meng family.

Of course he is unwilling to make such a big enemy, and why is he so young, no one can see how far he will go in the future-he may lead the Meng family to create a bigger economic empire, Anthony doesn't want to Stand opposite him.

He took Meng Huo into the restaurant, and after the four of them sat down, the servants immediately set up delicacies on the circular dining table.

"Aren't Miss Annie sitting down?" Shen Jie looked at Annie curiously. She was standing behind Anthony, showing no sign of sitting down.

"I am a servant," Anne replied, "a servant cannot sit with the master."

Shen Jie frowned slightly. Although Anthony and Annie were in a master-servant relationship, no matter how she saw them, they were closer than ordinary servants—she couldn't see it many years ago, but now her eyes are sharp.

Moisturized by Meng Huo, she could see that the way Anne looked at Anthony was not just that of master and servant. Anthony looked at Annie differently from other servants. They seemed to be like a family while they were in the relationship between master and servant. .

"These two must be having an affair." Shen Jie was gossiping like this, when Alice next to her suddenly pinched her slightly, Shen Jie looked over, and Alice gave her a look of "don't worry about it".

What Shen Jie can see, Alice and Meng Huo can also see, but no matter what the relationship between Anthony and Annie is, it has nothing to do with them, and it is not suitable to say it in front of them.

"I see." Shen Jie reassured Alice with her eyes. Put your mind away.

At this time, Annie poured red wine for Anthony and Meng Huo respectively. Anthony smiled and said, "This bottle of wine. I brought it with me when I went to Ninghai a few years ago. Unfortunately, you were too young to have a drink with you."

"It's ready now." Meng Huo shook the red wine in his glass lightly, and sniffed it: "This wine has a certain age."

The old duke looked at Anne who was pouring wine for Alice and the two of them, and said, "Anne stored this wine for me twenty years ago. She originally planned to keep it for another ten years. After ten years, it doesn't matter if I'm still here or not." That's the problem."

Meng Huo was taken aback. After pouring the wine, Annie said, "Your Excellency the Duke* is in good health. As long as you don't look like a child and secretly stay up late to read comics, twenty years will not be a problem."

Shen Jie and Alice immediately pursed their lips and laughed. Anthony was speechless, and raised his glass slightly: "Let's not talk about this, Mr. He Xi, and two lucky girls, welcome to London!"

"Thank you!" The four drank a few glasses of wine lively, before tasting. After Anne put away the wine, Meng Huo asked Anthony: "Your Excellency, is "England Comics Weekly" your business?"

""England Comics Weekly", "Roland Boys Comics", "Charlie Newman Comics"..." Anthony said the names of more than a dozen comic magazines in one breath: "I have invested in these magazines, but they do not belong to me. operate independently."

He didn't tell the truth. In fact, he controlled the most popular comic magazines, but Anthony didn't want to tell Meng Huo. He guessed what Meng Huo would definitely ask this time.

"..."England Comics Weekly" has a very good cartoonist, known as the king of European comics, and she seems to have published serials in other magazines." Sure enough, Meng Huo pondered for a while, and immediately asked again: "The Duke knows the identity of the cartoonist?"

"I know." Anthony nodded. If he said he didn't know, Meng Huo would obviously not believe it.

"I also know why you asked Mrs. He Xi about her." A smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Her painting style is very similar to a cartoonist in China, right?"

Meng Huo nodded: "A great newcomer cartoonist."

"Jingyue, the contracted cartoonist of Zhongxia Company, right?" Anthony smiled even more: "I think you guessed right, these two people are together... Jingyue debuted in Europe for five years, and now she is the most popular in our place." Best-selling cartoonist, but not owned by any comic book company."

Alice was surprised. Meng Huo had already told her and Shen Jie about Jingyue in detail on the way. She was not surprised by his question to Anthony, but what did Anthony mean by saying that he does not belong to any comic company? ?

"What does the Duke mean? The cartoonist is free?"

"Yes." Anthony made a look at Annie beside her. Annie nodded and stood up and said, "Mirror Moon and the comic company signed contracts for writing, and she likes to submit different works to different companies, because the quality of the works is very high." Gao, all the comic companies are scrambling for it."

Meng Huo frowned slightly: "Will the comic company agree to her request?"

These things don't sound real, even if the quality of the work is high, it is impossible for these comic companies to be willing to only accept the contract. They will definitely try to find Jingyue, and then let her sign an exclusive agreement-this is the case with cartoonists in Huaxia.

"There is no way not to agree." Annie continued: "Someone has investigated Jingyue's identity, but no one knows who she is."

"No one knows who she is?" Alice was startled, isn't this the same as Huaxia? No one in Huaxia knew who Jingyue was—she had suspected that it was her biological father in the past, but it turned out that it was a cover, most likely a substitute found by others.

"She is very cautious every time she submits a manuscript, she will not leave any clues, and even reporters can't find her." Anthony said: "She has no editor, and even the bank card used to collect manuscript fees is an anonymous card...the comic company does not know her. identity of."

Meng Huo looked at Anthony: "Has Your Excellency the Duke ever investigated her?"

"certainly."

"You don't know either?"

"...no line..."

Anthony was about to answer that there was no clue, but when he saw the suspicion on Meng Huo's face, he immediately knew that the answer was not good. Since he could target Meng Huo before he entered London, it was impossible not to find even a cartoonist—it might be counterproductive to say so.

"...I found her three, almost four years ago." He changed his answer, surprising Anne beside him. But after all, she was someone who had seen big waves, and the surprise in Annie's heart did not show on her face.

Meng Huo's suspicion disappeared a lot: "Then Your Excellency knows her identity?"

"I know." Anthony sighed in his heart, but the smile on his face did not change: "But if you know, you know. I can't tell you her identity now."

"why?"

"If I told you that she knew, wouldn't she not contribute to my magazines?" Anthony spread his hands and said, "I don't want to make that lady angry, she is our number one cartoonist."

Meng Huo was a little unconvinced: "Do you care about a mere cartoonist?"

"If she is a mere cartoonist, it is impossible for no one to find her."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that her identity is very sensitive." Alice looked at Anthony and said, "So sensitive that even the Duke will keep her a secret."

This is her guess. Since the cartoonist can maintain such a mysterious identity in Huaxia, Zhongxia Company is not willing to reveal it. It can be seen that she probably has some remarkable background, so it is not impossible for Anthony to keep it a secret.

"Miss Alice is really smart." Anthony praised, and at the same time felt a little cold. Alice's words were vague. She didn't say that the identity of the cartoonist was beyond Anthony's control, but that her identity was very sensitive.

"Could she have noticed something?" He thought so. It's not surprising that what Alice said just now meant that she discovered that the cartoonist was an important person to Anthony, but with so few clues, she was able to discover so many things. ?

Anthony was in a bit of a dilemma, but he couldn't try it out. Once he tried it, it would definitely be easier to find out.

Meng Huo seemed to give up. In fact, he was just curious, not because he had to know the identity of the other party—even Anthony was unwilling to tell him the answer. On the contrary, it made Meng Huo even more curious and looked forward to seeing that person one day. cartoonist.

The dinner was over, and before leaving, Meng Huo handed Anthony a letter.

"This is……"

"This is for Jingyue, you should be able to give it to her?" Meng Huo said with a smile: "I have read some of her cartoons, and here are my thoughts and opinions on them. Just tell her that you are an ordinary reader. suggestion!"

Anthony's eyes lit up, and he looked at Meng Huo in surprise. Why would he give advice to Lisa, so he wouldn't worry about her becoming more powerful and threatening him? (to be continued...)
