Five hundred and forty-one. Queen Farida's necklace (ninth)
A good start, it was indeed like this for Wang Weiyi's trip to Egypt.
I successfully met the Egyptian king Farouk I, and in addition, I won a small win at the gambling table.
Although the money and that necklace didn't look much in Wang Weiyi's eyes.
But winning money always makes people feel happy
Klingenberg and others were bored in the hotel. When Wang Weiyi went back, they found that they were actually playing cards.
Wang Weiyi, who had just tasted the sweetness of winning money, also participated in the game for a few games, but now his luck is not so smooth, and he lost thousands of pounds. Klingenberg and Myristel are so happy that they smile.
It's obvious that the Baron is invincible on the battlefield, but there are some that on the poker table
As a result, Guo Yunfeng and Elina, who never played cards, were also attracted. This group of people treated the Skeleton Baron as a fat sheep and slaughtered.
In the second half of the night, only Baron Ernst Bryme lost, and the others returned to their room with a lot of cash.
It is obvious that Xiao Ling's help is missing on the gambling table, Wang Weiyi's card skills are terrible, God knows how he won in the Cairo Palace
"Unfortunate stroller, is it?" In Wang Weiyi's room, Elena smiled like a flower, and she won a lot today. Especially in the second half, Elena showed her courage, and she worked with Guo Yunfeng, invincible.
Wang Weiyi suddenly seemed to remember something: "Wait, wait, I feel something is wrong with Xiaoling and cut off my contact with me, can it be?"
Elina smiled even happier, and Wang Weiyi finally realized:
Elina and Guo Yunfeng are cheating!
Xiaoling cut off the contact with him and helped Elina and Guo Yunfeng analyze his cards. God, with Xiaoling's help, isn't Elina and Guo Yunfeng the same as playing if they want to win their own money?
Seeing Elina laughing so happily, Wang Weiyi muttered a few times, Xiao Ling was successful and Xiao Ling was defeated. She never expected that Xiao Ling would betray him at the gambling table.
"What a beautiful night." Elina came to the window and looked out the night view outside the window: "I really want to go and see the human-faced sphinx, I really want to go and see the pyramid walker, Egypt is as mysterious as China we have been to."
"I will go. When we occupy the entire Egypt, I will take you all over Egypt." After coming behind Elena, Wang Weiyi also looked out the window in a daze.
Then, he gently hugged Elena from behind and didn't feel anything wrong, and just let the "Ramer" embrace himself gently
Suddenly, the two of them tightened, and then Wang Weiyi whispered in a irritation: "Disgusting guy."
Elina smiled pursed her lips.
Wang Weiyi let go of Elina and quietly hid behind the door with her.
Outside, there was a sound of opening the door and then the two guys came in.
Suddenly, their bodies were pulled forward, and before they could resist, their heads were hit hard. When they woke up, they found that they were tied up on their chairs.
Wang Weiyi looked at the things they found, some money, two revolvers, and two daggers
"Tell me, who are you? You don't look like thieves." Wang Weiyi asked while playing with the dagger in his hand.
Neither Egyptians are willing to speak
"Look, my wife and I were about to sleep, and you broke in. This is not good, I don't like it very much." Wang Weiyi came to them and patted them on the shoulder: "I can kill you, and then tell the police that my wife and I were attacked, we were forced to fight back, and then kill you."
"You dare not" one of the Egyptians called out.
A cold light flashed, and then a hand covered the Egyptian's mouth, allowing the Egyptian to tremble all over because of the pain, and the painful "whimper" sound kept coming out of his mouth.
A dagger pierced his thigh
The injured Egyptian companion was completely frightened. He never thought that the young man's attack was so vicious.
"Now, it's you." Wang Weiyi let go of his hand covering his mouth. The injured Egyptian was finally able to wail in pain, but his head was quickly pushed by Elina with a revolver: "Sir, don't make a sound no matter how painful it is. If I think your voice is too loud, I will shoot, I promise."
Wang Weiyi smiled at Elena, then turned his face to the Egyptian in front of him: "Tell me, I need to know everything."
Until now, the Egyptians dared not hide anything: "It was Queen Farida who sent us here, we are the guards of the palace."
"Queen Farida?" Wang Weiyi was a little puzzled: "What did the Queen send you to me?"
"She asked us to steal a necklace and a necklace with rubies inlaid"
Wang Weiyi suddenly realized that this was the necklace he won at the gambling table, right?
From this point of view, Queen Farida's gambling style was really bad. After losing a necklace, she even had to send someone to steal it back.
"Why did the queen steal this necklace? Is there any secret in the necklace?"
"I don't know, sir, I really don't know that this necklace seems to be very important to the queen. She used to wear it with her, but she lost to you today."
What this guy said was not like a lie. Wang Weiyi pondered for a while and asked Elina to loosen their ties: "You can go back and tell Queen Farida that if she wants a necklace, she can send someone to me personally. I will never be stingy."
This is the truth of what Wang Weiyi said.
Although Queen Farida's necklace is precious, it is nothing in Wang Weiyi's eyes. He won back this necklace just for fun.
But Queen Farida used this method to regain the necklace, which made Wang Weiyi think that she would not return it.
As for these two Egyptians, Wang Weiyi was sure that they would not call the police. After all, it was not a glorious thing for the queen to send someone to steal things.
"Okay, rambler, I think I should go back to my room to sleep, good night." Elina smiled and left here.
Damn, damn Wang Weiyi was very annoyed. Some very romantic things must have happened tonight, but the people sent by Queen Farida ruined all this.
Queen Farida must pay the price for what she has done
Early the next morning, Mr. Roryman sent someone to invite "Baron Andrew" Toxen to have breakfast with him, and "Baron Andrew" happily accepted the invitation.
At breakfast, Mr. Roryman offered another invitation from Farouk I to Baron Andrew:
Mr. Toxon, "Baron Andrew" from England, was invited to attend his ball tonight at the Cairo Palace to celebrate his 20th anniversary as Prince Said.
"What's there to celebrate?" Wang Weiyi was puzzled.
Farouk I has become the ruler of Egypt and the Sultan kings, Nubia, Kordofan and Darfur, and even celebrated his day as the crown prince of Egypt?
"Mr. Baron, you probably don't know much about this king," said Mr. Roryman with a smile: "He is a man who likes luxury life and can always find all kinds of excuses for himself to hold luxurious dances. He is addicted to this, no matter how tense the war on the front line is. As for this time, he also invited all the staff of our embassy. You must know that we are now preparing for a decisive battle with the Germans and need the full support of Egypt, so the Ambassador has agreed to the invitation of His Majesty the King."
"Ah, then I must go." Wang Weiyi smiled: "I think I should prepare a gift for him."
"King Farouk will like it." Roryman smiled and said, "Of course, I don't know how many guests will be unlucky tonight. This 'Cairo thief' has a chance to show off his skills."
Wang Weiyi thought about it for a while and still told the story that happened last night. He thought Mr. Roryman would be surprised, but he did not expect that the general counsel of the Egyptian palace sighed:
"Mr. Baron, you may not be clear about some things. The necklace itself is nothing, but the gems on it are heirlooms of Queen Farid's family. The history is very far away. Queen Farid is probably too lonely in the palace and is very addicted to gambling. Sometimes when she loses her eyes, she always likes to use this gem as a mortgage. The winner, because she is the Queen of Egypt, most of them are returned. Even if some people who are unwilling to return it, they will always find that the gem disappeared the next day. Of course, it was stolen by the people sent by Queen Farid. But this time her people failed. Mr. Baron, I hope you don't tell me about these disgraceful things in the palace."
"Of course, of course I will do this." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
So that's the case, now he has a clear idea.
I never thought that such a charming queen had the bad habit of being addicted to gambling. What kind of kingly family would this be?
