Chapter 111 The Trenches and Self-Knowledge

Being able to become a small-town policeman and be sure to make a note to a higher-level law enforcement agency means that Barney's identity can be made public.

Even with the passport of the new identity, it is no problem to fly around the world or vote.

After talking with Li Changheng for more than ten minutes, Barney hung up the phone with a smile on his face, and then was ordered by a town sheriff who was taller and even stronger than him to eat roast chicken.

Ray Owens unscrewed a beer bottle cap and handed it to Barney, "Friend?"

Barney took the beer and nodded with a smile, "Henry should have been my only friend before, but it's a pity that he's in London, and he's naturally restless."

"Then I'd like to meet the friend you mentioned."

Owens showed a curious expression on his thin and resolute face, "It must be in line with the appetite of our seals to be regarded as a friend by a green beret like yours."

"Maybe!"

Barney shook his head with a smile, "However, if you are willing to hand over the skills you have learned to Henry, he might appear in front of us in a few days."

"Haha, cheers".

Owens laughed and touched the wine bottle with Barney, and cut open the roast turkey with a knife without any intention of answering the conversation.

And Barney shook his head helplessly, and stopped mentioning it.

Anyway, he felt that when Henry really came to the town, Ray Owens, who also used a fake name and also retired from the Vietnam War, would definitely think Henry was a good student.

And if Li Changheng saw this strong man who was taller and stronger than Barney, his first thought would definitely be 'governor'.

Then it's no wonder that Barney and Trenches know each other in Expendables, and they look like they used to go through life and death together.

In a Chinese restaurant in London, I had a meal with Frank, which has improved a lot of Sichuan-style hot pot.

Then he looked dissatisfied, and Frank said with a smile while drinking a drink to relieve the spiciness, and said that the next week's dinner will be settled here.

American German, Hispanic, British, and Scottish families already have the habit of eating animal offal, so Frank easily accepted Sichuan cuisine, not to mention that it tastes very good.

Taking Frank to drink in the bar until 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Changheng was a little dizzy the next day and didn't go anywhere. At 5 o'clock in the morning on the 26th, he drove to Norfolk with a shotgun and a camping backpack.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the car entered the vicinity of Sandringham Manor. Ten minutes after handing over the invitation letter, a pure black English thoroughbred horse rushed over from a distance.

Annie, who was dressed in a lady's knight uniform, waved her hand to Li Changheng from a distance.

It was only about ten meters away before I started to pull the rein, and I jumped off the horse after two meters away.

I wanted to hug Li Changheng's arm as before, but seeing a few staff members serving the royal family around, Anne could only put away her ladylike smile, and slightly bent her knees to say hello, "Morning, Henry".

Li Changheng nodded with a smile, "Good morning, Your Highness."

The two didn't say a few words, and there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Annie didn't care if she was rude or not, she took Li Changheng's arm and said, "Honey, no matter what Andrew says, don't promise him."

After finishing speaking, Annie was still worried, and she dragged Li Changheng to the manor owner's villa, "Andrew asked me yesterday what kind of business you are in, and I knew he was thinking about you."

Upon hearing this, Li Changheng pouted and followed Annie into the villa.

Even if he married Annie and had children, he wouldn't take advantage of Annie's two older brothers.

Can't you make money yourself?

Unless it's the kind that he doesn't do it himself, and Charles and Andrew are willing to exchange benefits, he may mention something.

As soon as he walked into the villa, he was taken to see Philip by a middle-aged man in a suit before he had time to marvel at the many luxurious decorations in the future, which far surpassed the decoration of the royal house.

No one knows what Li Changheng and Philip talked about in the study room. They only know that at 9:30 in the morning, when dozens of people drove to the hunting ground a few kilometers away with single- and double-barreled shotguns on their arms, Philip followed him from time to time. Li Changheng said something.

Of course the happiest is Anne, who is also with her father and her boyfriend, and the most unhappy is of course the noble children who have thoughts about Anne.

While dealing with Philip's words, Li Changheng was thinking about Philip's first topic in the study, which was indeed his views on the American economy.

Then after seeing that he said something dry, he started talking nonsense. Philip actually dragged him to play cards, and finally reminded him that he didn't want to go to Yuenan, and it was best not to return to the United States in the next few years.

Playing cards is easy to understand, it is nothing more than testing your memory and emotional intelligence.

Maintaining a small loss can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but before you know Philip's character, the risk of winning him is actually greater.

After all, Philip, who is almost 50 and has been in the position of king without real power for more than 20 years, will most likely dislike his sharp-edged daughter's boyfriend.

After the meeting, Philip's attitude towards him has also shown that the old guy is really relieved.

There was even a mood to joke that Li Changheng should not wear high leather riding boots, but should wear high rubber rain boots with larger openings and more breathable rubber.

Annie lowered her head with a blushing face, while Li Changheng smiled back and said, "I seldom sweat."

Philip, the old fox, seemed to know that Li Changheng's personality is relatively strong, so he said indifferently, "You know, son, I don't even want the right to tax exemption. If you buy gold to preserve value as you said,

Tomorrow there will be a bunch of people satirizing and even slandering me in the newspapers or in the House of Commons."

Well, after all, it's still about money.

But that's right, the royal family's wealth cannot be disclosed, and it has to be concealed as much as possible, and even set up a special fund to take care of it.

But if the fund has no money, it will be the most fatal.

Moreover, if you buy gold to preserve its value, there will be more than 8 layers of people who oppose and dislike it.

But Li Changheng would never foolishly participate in Philip's affairs just because of his relationship with Annie.

To put it bluntly, the ghost knows if this is another test.

Once he has the thought of intervening, or even meddling in the internal affairs of the royal family, maybe tomorrow Anne will be sent back to St. Marian Girls' School, and become a good girl who concentrates on studying.

"I think if you have any questions, you should ask those consultants in the Royal Government Office."

Li Changheng shrugged and said, "I'm only 18 years old, and my responsibility is Anne, and our future children. Others are out of my consideration."

"Henry", Annie looked at her sweetheart happily and in surprise, and was about to say something when Li Changheng glared at her with a frown.

Annie suddenly became overwhelmed.

When Philip saw that Annie was frightened, his expression changed from his warm attitude towards Li Changheng before, and he nodded to the people behind him.

"Let's surround this forest farm separately and see who can hunt the most grouse today."

Within a minute, Li Changheng, who had been surrounded by everyone before, stood alone outside the forest farm with a distance of more than ten meters from the others.

But although the expression on his face was not good, he was greatly relieved in his heart, and he immediately felt that Philip did it on purpose.
