Chapter 190 The Righteous Deeds of the Unknown Knight
Later, Zhuoyang recalled that he and Zygrinski were truly destined, a coincidence. It was this fate and his openness and sincerity towards his friends that set the scene for a series of vigorous stories that followed.
After Qi Jesus and Klopp finished communicating on the phone, everyone went to dinner together to congratulate Jesus, even though Jesus paid for it. The four of them had a friendly dispute over where to eat, but in the end Kou Kou had the final say: French food!
It stands to reason that as the boss of the world-famous French restaurant brand Left Bank, Zhuoyang would not be suitable to go to other French restaurants, but it would be even more inappropriate to always go to his own restaurant to enjoy the autumn breeze. In the end, everyone chose a restaurant called Paris Condal. The name is a bit strange, but fortunately it is quiet.
Zhuo Yang was naturally very happy to be able to help Qi Jesus decide his future, but life was not always pleasant. While several people were dining, Kou Kou left the table and went to the bathroom. Zhuo Yang received a call. It was Thomas Feng of Habsburg.
Thomas was eager to get Habsburg away from the suspicion of attack. He called Zhuoyang and asked Zhuo Yang to think about any enemies, enemies in the football circle, and tell him the name to investigate. Zhuoyang didn't want to talk to him, so he said angrily: "Thomas, I have conflicts in the football circle, but there is no life-or-death feud. I have never heard of such despicable methods in the football circle, at least not in Europe. . I won’t bother you with this.”
"Thomas, I don't want to embarrass you Habsburgs, but if there is no answer to this matter, if it were you, would you let it go? Thomas, don't make me go crazy."
After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yang still looked depressed. Cheng Hao knew about this, but Qi Jesus didn't. He looked at Cheng Hao and asked Zhuo Yang with concern: "Captain Zhuo, are you in trouble?"
"Hi, there's no trouble. There was some trouble with the Habsburg family recently, and they provoked me."
Qi Jesus knew that Habsburg warned Zhuoyang to leave Koko. He heard Zhuoyang say it when he was drinking with the Six Musketeers on the night of the Champions League final.
"I originally wanted to clean up the Habsburgs, but I was afraid that Kou Kou would be in trouble, so I swallowed my breath. Otherwise, hum!" Some things are not suitable to be explained to Jesus, and it has nothing to do with friendship.
"Yes, it's really difficult for Her Royal Highness to be caught in the middle." Zhuo Yang didn't ask about Jesus.
"Koko's family has also fallen out with the Habsburgs. The Habsburgs must not mess with me again. Otherwise, if a European settles down, I will let them know what it means to play with fire."
"Zhuo Dui, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do? Cold salad!" In fact, Zhuo Yang was quite helpless.
If he wanted to start a full-scale war with the Habsburgs, he would have to rely on China's national power, but this would be making a mountain out of a molehill. But other than that, there is no other good way. Either start a war of public opinion and make the Habsburgs stink. But the war of public opinion is not easy to end, and it is difficult to control the intensity and direction of the hype. What will Kou Kou and his family do then? If you don't do it right, you may get hurt accidentally.
"I can only hold it in for now. Don't mention this worry, let's talk about your trip to Dortmund. I will contact Warnes tomorrow. This guy has been the captain of Dortmund for six or seven years. He is familiar with you from top to bottom. He talks more, Brother Wo is an honest man."
After the meal, there was no follow-up activities. Zhuo Yang, Kou Kou and Cheng Hao went back to the villa on the beach together. Qi Jesus stopped disturbing and went back to his home.
"Zhuoyang, I think Qi Jesus is very interesting. He seems to have some secret."
"Oh, did you see it too? Kou Kou and I have always thought this is strange about him. However, he doesn't have any bad intentions and he is a reliable person."
"That's true. He is a very nice person. He seems to have something to say, but he always seems unable to say it."
"Maybe there are some tangles in life, man, who hasn't ordered a story yet. If he doesn't tell us, we can't ask. Don't be such a bitch among friends."
"Koko, Mrs. Meredith's information is not very complete!" In the study room of the villa, Zhuo Yang was immersed in flipping through a lot of written materials.
"It is not easy to collect these." Koko said: "The old grandmother was uneducated and illiterate. Many of her stories were told to the younger generations when she had nothing to do. After so many years, we can tell them There aren’t many details left to remember.”
That Christmas, Zhuoyang promised to compose a piece of music for the family's ancestor, Mrs. Grace Meredith, so that her story could be praised and spread. This had been the wish of Joseph's family for many years. Under the arrangement of Kou Kou's father, Uncle Frank, Kou Kou has been doing data collection work to assist Zhuo Yang in completing the music.
Nearly two years have passed, and this work is progressing very smoothly. Zhuo Yang does not intend to limit himself to ordinary music. His ambitions are much greater. He wanted this piece to be a tribute, and not just to Joseph's family.
"This section is very interesting. Come and take a look, Kou Kou."
The information is all the memories of Joseph's family members, and these memories are also passed down orally from generation to generation. According to Mrs. Meredith's account, after she escaped from Vienna with her infant Hubert in her arms, she originally planned to hide in the mountains in the north. However, she was constantly hunted down along the way and had no choice but to flee to Hamburg in northern Prussia. Nearby, he finally crossed the sea from Denmark to Scandinavia, and fled to the ice-covered Arctic Circle in Finland.
According to Mrs. Meredith's story at that time, an unknown knight once secretly protected them on their way to escape. She didn't know who it was, but this knight always stepped forward in the most dangerous moments and escorted her and Hubert all the way to Hamburg before disappearing. Without this knight, Mrs. Meredith could not escape, and neither could Hubert.
"This unknown knight is a very good material, but it's a pity that there is too little information." Zhuo Yang said with some regret. "Who could he be? It's definitely not someone sent by the Emperor and Princess Sissi. They have been looking for your grandmother."
"This is a mystery. There are no clues about this person, and we don't know whether he died or went into hiding later." Koko said: "Our Joseph family has always wanted to find him. Without his secret guard, we wouldn't be here. Descendants don’t have a single clue and can’t find it.”
"The person chasing him should be sent by Archduke Ferdinand." Zhuo Yang said while looking through the information.
"But they don't admit it! Archduke Ferdinand has always refused to admit that they were responsible for the murder of Mrs. Meredith's family, let alone the subsequent pursuit. Our Joseph family has no evidence."
Coco tilted her head and thought about it and said: "It is said that the missing guard captain, Lord Cheglen, had a secret transfer order. He was promoted by Archduke Ferdinand, but he also disappeared. The emperor suspected that he had been recruited by Ferdinand. Nan is silenced."
"Hmph! It was definitely them who did it." Zhuo Yang said angrily: "This is the way they do things over there. It's exactly the same as what we encountered on the mountain road, and it's exactly the same as their stubborn refusal to admit their guilt."
