Royal Guard

Chapter 74 Lake Como
The pickup truck was speeding like lightning, passed by Annas Town, and continued northward all the way, but this time the driver became Jiang Hailong.

The wound on his back has been treated briefly. There are gauze and disinfectant in the convenience store, and Xu Ziqi personally applied the medicine for it.

Xu Ziqi still didn't ask anything. It was normal for Jiang Hailong to be able to drive back the pickup truck and use it for a change of clothes and food. Compared to the rescue in the church, this could only be regarded as a trivial matter.

Putting on a loose sweatshirt, she didn't feel sleepy, with a smile on her lips all the time.

But Jiang Hailong, who was supposed to be a smiling dog, has been silent tonight, with very few smiles and few words. Even when driving, he frowns from time to time.

"It is absolutely impossible for us to cross the border by car, but the border between Switzerland and Italy is very long, and the Alps run through the east and west. I heard from some adventurers that it is very difficult to cross the Italian-Swiss border. What are your plans?" Xu Ziqi Playing with the holy crystal in her hand, she is now penniless, her passport has been confiscated, and even her belongings are in the Vatican.

Jiang Hailong smiled and said: "That's nothing. My original plan was to take you across the border. I have drawn up the road map. I just hope that you won't complain when the time comes."

"Then do you think I will complain of suffering and tiredness?" Xu Ziqi asked with her big eyes fluttering.

Jiang Hailong continued to smile, shook his head faintly and said: "I was worried before boarding the plane. Even if I rescue this Miss Xu, she will definitely play a big lady's temper and may not follow me into the mountains."

"However, after seeing you, I realized that all my worries were unnecessary. You are very nice and have the demeanor of an old man." Jiang Hailong nodded with a smile.

"How long have you known my father?" Xu Ziqi asked curiously.

"Less than half a year."

"Oh, then do you know what kind of person he is?"

"Wise man!"

"I thought you would answer good person or bad person!" Xu Ziqi smiled softly.After hearing Xu Ziqi's words, Jiang Hailong also laughed.

"Then what kind of person are you?" Finally Xu Ziqi couldn't bear the curiosity and longing in her heart. something about people.

"What kind of person am I?" Jiang Hailong touched his chin with his hand, and replied simply: "Good man!"

"Uh..." Xu Ziqi was obviously taken aback, but she heard Jiang Hailong laughing again.

"what's your name?"

"Jianghailong"

"How old are you"

"One year younger than you"

It is said that curiosity kills the cat. When a woman falls in love with a strange man, it is often because of curiosity that she enters the man's world step by step and becomes a part of the man.

Like her father, Xu Ziqi is also a wise man, so for her, her curiosity is based on the foundation she has already determined in her heart. She has already determined in her heart that this man is her future man, so she is curious. will ask questions.

The sun in the west also rises from the east, and the rising glow of the red sun suddenly makes people want to fly and shout.

Italy's land area is not large. After a night of rushing, the two have arrived at the shore of Lake Como at the southern end of the Alps.

Compared with Jiang Hailong, Xu Ziqi is very familiar with the terrain of Italy. After all, she has lived here for seven months, and she also bought a villa on the shore of Lake Como.

That's right, she has traveled all over Italy, and her Italian-style villa is located on the east bank of Lake Como.

"Look, that's my private collection. Do you want to visit my home?" Standing at the other end of the lake, Xu Ziqi pointed to the still-built European-style building in the distance.

Jiang Hailong was a little shocked by Xu Ziqi's magnanimity. That building was a manor-style building, at least worth hundreds of millions of dollars, right?

"You bought it?" Jiang Hailong asked in surprise.

"Well, I bought it four months ago. The real estate in Italy is not expensive. The total cost is only more than 1000 million euros, but I only lived there for three days." Xu Ziqi nodded.

"It's only over 1000 million? So cheap?" Jiang Hailong compared, and over 1000 million euros was only over [-] million yuan.

"It's still the most expensive. I just invested because I like the environment here, but it seems that I will sell it on entrustment in the future."

"Shall we go and have a look?" Xu Ziqi continued to ask.

Jiang Hailong nodded: "Let's go and have a look, and we have to make preparations before entering the mountain." After speaking, he took out the travel bag and food in the car, and walked towards the villa on foot.

Jiang Hailong knew that to enter Switzerland from Italy, if one did not take roads and railways, one had to cross the southern tip of the Alps. Although the distance was not far, even only a few tens of kilometers, these tens of kilometers were covered with mountains, and it was winter now , the temperature difference is very large, if it is his own, there is no need to prepare anything, but after all, there is Xu Ziqi, so warm clothes, food, salt, fresh water, etc. before entering the mountain are essential.

Moreover, Jiang Hailong didn't plan to go to Switzerland or France through the normal way before he came. After all, the normal way needs an identity passport and a visa, and there may have been people from the Holy See ambushing there for a long time.

So he can't take risks, he can only enter the mountains, pass through the border as a traveling explorer, and enter Switzerland before making plans.

Meanwhile, Annas Town.

Two elderly men in their 50s and wearing red robes walked out of the convenience store with gloomy expressions, followed by four oversized black men in suits and ties.

"Rafal, they must be going to Switzerland." One of the cardinals said coldly.

"Brook, do you think the two of us plus the four of them will be the opponent of the Chinese warlock?" Rafal pointed to the four black supers behind and asked.

Brooke took a deep breath: "But, if we don't bring that girl back, you know what's waiting for us!"

Rafal also nodded heavily: "So I think we need to ask for some foreign aid."

"What do you mean?" Brooke's eyes lit up.

"That's right." Rafal pulled out a map of Italy from the car, pointed at the junction of Lake Como and Switzerland with certainty: "If I'm not wrong, they will definitely enter the Swiss border through here, so that Then enter the city of Lugano, and this area is a no-man’s land, a jungle area, which is extremely difficult, especially the jungle is full of dangers, and the temperature difference changes too much, so you must not enter it without preparation.”

"My plan is to hire killers or hunters to enter this area to find them. And we will fly directly to Lugano and wait for news there."

"Good way." Brooke said brightly, "But we can't just let the two of us get the money, Ed and the others have to get it too. This time we have to hire a large number of hunters to enter."

"That's right, even the old ghost Andrew was seriously injured, so let's not do it ourselves"

"Okay, I'll contact Ed and the others now"

"Then I will contact Hunter and Killer"

The two red-clothed archbishops muttered and continued to discuss when suddenly another police car came outside the convenience store.

"Buganan, your car was found, it was found on the shore of Lake Como, now you go to the scene with us"

The convenience store clerk ran out excitedly and shouted, "Your case handling efficiency is too fast."

"It was discovered by the management staff of the Lake District, let's go right away." The two gangsters seemed to be familiar with the clerk, and they patted each other's shoulders affectionately.

Brook and Rafal had heard the conversation between the boss and the clerk a long time ago, so when the two took out the map and compared it again, they found that it was exactly in line with their guess.

"They have entered the mountain, I will immediately hire hunters and killers," Rafal said excitedly.

The villa Xu Ziqi bought is located on the hillside by the lake. There was a wheat field and a meadow in front of the villa. The whole villa is a conjoined building, a bit like a church, and a bit like a medieval castle.

While walking, Xu Ziqi told Jiang Hailong that there were two nannies and servants in the villa, they were a Jewish couple, they were left by the former owner of the villa. There are many places to go, so when she bought the villa, she kept these two people. They planted the wheat field in front of the villa.

"Living here is less noisy and more quiet. If it wasn't for being hunted down, I really wouldn't mind staying here for a few more days!" Jiang Hailong said with a smile.

"Really? Then let's stay here. No one knows that my villa is mine. If we stay here, the Holy Court will not be discovered." Xu Ziqi was full of excitement, and she really hoped to be with her Jiang Hailong stayed here for a while.

Jiang Hailong shook his head with a wry smile: "There are many things waiting for me in the country, and I must go back as soon as possible."

"Oh." Xu Ziqi nodded silently, her interest plummeted.

The villa has no gate, only a straight asphalt road leading to the front of the villa.

When Xu Ziqi and Jiang Hailong appeared in the villa, two Jewish servants happily ran back from the wheat field, followed by a shepherd dog.

"Miss Xu, you are back." The Jewish couple seemed a little embarrassed. After all, they were not very familiar with Xu Ziqi, the host, and they had not communicated in depth.

"Well, Auntie Subi, Uncle Lange, I'm bringing my friends back to stay for a few days, please forgive me." After Xu Ziqi nodded politely to the Jewish couple, she opened the door and entered the villa.

The villa is a three-story building. Once you enter the lobby, it is the kind of main hall with a ceiling, similar to the main hall of a church. There is a fireplace on the side wall, and the inside is carpeted. There are stairs on both sides of the lobby, both on the second and third floors. The room has bathroom, gym and so on.

The restaurant is on the left side of the first floor, and there is a small bar outside the restaurant, which is full of wine.

"Aunt Soapy, please take my medical kit upstairs."

"Jiang..." Xu Ziqi was about to call Jiang Hailong's name directly, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate, and calling Mr. Jiang seemed a bit too ostentatious, so after she only said the word Jiang, she smiled sweetly and said, He made a requesting gesture and said, "Come upstairs with me, it's time for you to change your medicine. I have Yunnan Baiyao brought from the mainland in my medicine box."
