Chapter Twelve Can I Have Some Ideas?
At 8 o'clock in the morning on June 5, a small passenger plane landed at Harrusburg Airport. As the cabin door opened, Zhou Ming and Caitlin followed the crowd and walked off the plane. Chinese √net★★く. ★ .
In fact, on the day of Ferdinand's funeral, when Louise told them the news that the Harrusburg Conference was about to be held, Zhou Ming decided to attend the meeting without hesitation. Just kidding, since Caitlin is the first heir to the Harrusburg family, if she doesn't come to attend the Harrusburg Conference, wouldn't it mean that she admits failure? If someone else had decided to accept her fate, but Zhou Ming would definitely not allow it!
So they set off for Harrusburg the next day, but since Bermuda did not have direct flights, they had to transfer to the UK. Although they left very early, they still arrived on the third day.
Looking around, Caitlin murmured: "Is this the real Alsace? The origin of the Harrusburg family? It was from here that my ancestors went out to show the Harrusburg family to the most powerful family on this land."
"Of course, but that's already history. Now that we have come here, the future of the Harrusburg family will be written by us." Zhou Ming told Caitlin. Caitlin had told Zhou Ming before that since Harrusburg was very down and out before Caitlin was born, Caitlin, who was born in Austria, came to Alsace for the first time.
Speaking of Alsace, this is also a very famous place in Europe. It was a military center since the ancient Roman era. It was also for this reason that Harusburg, which rose from here, was selected as the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire, thus establishing its dominance. However, as Harusburg moved to Austria, France and Germany repeatedly fought for the sovereignty here, and today it is an administrative region of France.
Following the crowd, Zhou Ming and Caitlyn walked out of the airport. Because when they were in the UK, Caitlyn called Louise again to ask about the way to go to Harrusburg, so they were not confused here, and they could go there just by buying a map. However, they did not take a taxi directly, but bought a car first, and they drove to Harrusburg.
However, when they arrived here, there was something that Zhou Ming did not expect in advance. They originally thought that there would be language problems because they could not speak French. However, when they arrived, they could actually communicate in German. I think that because they were occupied by Germany in modern times, they had many descendants of German, which saved them from general communication problems.
They drove according to the map after leaving the airport and finally arrived at the Harrusburg after three hours.
Compared to the shocking Harusburg in Bermuda, the original Harusburg in France looks much more delicate. Not only is it very small in scale, but it even looks very dilapidated. If it weren't for the tall tower, it wouldn't be much better than the farmhouses in later generations.
But this is normal. After all, Harrusburg in Bermuda was built at the heyday of the family, and this initial Harrusburg was built more than a thousand years ago. Naturally, there is no comparison between the two sides, even though the castle is still being repaired.
When Zhou Ming and Caitlin arrived here, the door was full of luxury cars, but when Zhou Ming's car was about to pass, he was stopped by the security guard at the door. He saluted politely: "I'm sorry, this gentleman, this castle is a private castle, you can't visit it. If you want to visit the castle, follow this road for another hour, and the castle is open there."
The guard said to Zhou Ming very skillfully that it was obvious that it was not the first day that he had said this kind of rhetoric. It seemed that there were still quite a lot of tourists who wanted to see this legendary Harrusburg, but most people didn't know that in fact, those noble lords who were domineering in history still existed.
"You're wrong. We are not tourists coming to the restaurants here, but to attend the Harrusburg conference. I am the heir of Harrusburg Theresia Caitlin f. Harrusburg." Caitlin told him very seriously.
The guard looked at her carefully and said, "Well, Ms. Theresia Caitlin, since you said you were here to attend the meeting, please show your invitation."
The doorman's words made Zhou Ming and Caitlin frown. The doorman explained to them kindly when he saw their expressions: "Don't you know what an invitation is? It is the invitation made by Earl Andre for every guest who came to attend the meeting. For safety reasons, no guests who were not invited are allowed to enter."
"So, if you can't come up with the invitation, please leave, so as not to have something unpleasant."
The guard finally said, and at the same time made a gesture of inviting Zhou Ming and Caitlin. Caitlin turned to look at Zhou Ming, obviously this was a situation they had unexpectedly expected.
Zhou Ming thought about this and said, "Maybe we just forgot it in the hotel. Can you tell us the specific characteristics of this invitation?"
"Of course, he is not special. It's just a Harrusburg-specific invitation letter. There is a griffin hollow totem made of pure gold on the front. Of course, the most important thing is that there is an anti-counterfeiting code on the back of the invitation letter, so it cannot be faked. This is very important." The guard reminded kindly, but his eyes were full of disbelief and disbelief in Zhou Ming and Caitlin.
"Zhou Ming, what should we do? Andrei was in order to get Harrusburg, how could he give us an invitation letter?" Caitlin asked Zhou Ming anxiously.
Zhou Ming thought about it carefully, and finally made up his mind. He looked up and said to the guard: "Sir, if the invitation letter was sent by us, then do we still need the invitation letter when we come in?"
"Did you send the invitation?" the guard smiled, "I think there must be a limit for your lies, and this is the last time I have warned you. Please leave immediately, otherwise you will regret it, I promise!"
"I don't think so, but I feel that you are the one I regret..."
Zhou Ming was about to say something, suddenly someone came from behind. He reached out and handed over a dark red invitation letter. Zhou Ming could see that there was indeed a golden griffin on the cover of the invitation letter.
"I am the housekeeper of Princess Louise. Can my master enter?" the man said to the doorman.
The guard nodded and replied: "Of course there is no problem. I will drive away these unknown people and make way for you immediately."
The guard was about to give an order, but then he heard the man say again: "No need, the princess said she wanted to bring them in. Although the invitation letter did not specify the number of people allowed to follow, the three should be fine, right?"
As the butler said the words, the guard was so surprised that he couldn't speak, because he couldn't figure out why these guys who didn't know where they came from could be recognized by a princess? Could it be that they were really the heirs of a family?
The guard couldn't figure out this problem, but as the guard of Harrusburg, he also understood what he should do most now.
So he immediately smiled and agreed to Princess Louise first, and then said to Caitlin: "Ms. Caitlin is very sorry, I will let you go now."
Zhou Ming and Caitlin thanked him faintly. After all, he was just loyal to his duties, and there was no need to be right and unforgivable.
Then Zhou Ming and Caitlin arrived in the parking lot of the castle, and Louise's convoy was right behind. After Caitlin got off the car, she waited for Louise to say to her: "Aunt, thank you very much!"
Louise shook her head and said, "I'm just passing by, and even if I don't take action, my husband must have a solution, but maybe it's more risky. I'm just making this easier, that's all."
Louise said and smiled at Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "No, Princess Louise, you have helped us a lot. You said just now that my method will be a bit risky, but I think my method actually does not have much chance of success."
Louise waved her hand and said she would not say this anymore. He changed the topic: "I didn't expect you to come to Harrusburg. Have you figured out what to do?"
Caitlin smiled bitterly and said, "We have been here for three days. We don't even know the content of this meeting, or how much property Harrusburg still has, so how can we think about how to do it?"
Zhou Ming took Caitlin's words and continued: "So we don't need to do it and can't figure out what to do, we can only choose to adapt to the situation."
"What a adaptable situation. It seems that you have watched this meeting too easily. You don't understand what this meeting means at all. Do you think it's a child's trick? If there is a place that cannot be handled well, you will even be in danger of your life. Do you know? Can you think more ideas instead of having a blank space?"
Louise said with a little regret: "Just just now at the door, if it weren't for me to help you, it would be so difficult for you to come in. Do you know how many people are waiting to divide the family in this castle? Each of them is very smart, and they have their own support forces behind them. How can you two fight against them?"
Louise became more and more excited as she spoke, and she couldn't even care about her ever-elegant demeanor. She was obviously really anxious.
At the end of the conversation, Louise sighed helplessly: "Maybe I shouldn't have much expectations for you. After all, you are only in your twenties now, but... at least you can also move your brains so that you can be worthy of the hope Ferdinand has given you?"
Facing Louise's words, Caitlin lowered her head and looked a little ashamed. But compared to her, Zhou Ming still said: "His Royal Highness Louise, I know we are very reckless in your opinion, but please believe that we can handle things to the best of our ability!"
At the end of the talk, Zhou Ming said playfully again: "Besides, Your Highness, you said just now that even without your help, would I still have a way? I just have to take a little risk."
Louise was very surprised. He didn't expect that Zhou Ming would dare to talk back to him under this situation.
Louise saw from Zhou Ming's eyes that he was not aimless, which made Louise confused. She had no idea where Zhou Ming's confidence came from.
"Your Highness, I don't think you need to care about where my confidence comes from now. Just watch the development of things." Zhou Ming said at the end.
