Chapter 235 Azkaban without Prisoners

In the garden of the guesthouse, Malfoy walked around in the garden with a novelty.

Lucius and Narcissa were sitting not far away, finishing a dinner that was not in line with their dining habits, but tasted quite good.

Most of the guesthouses under Zhao Yuanxu's jurisdiction were only used for internal affairs, so the entire guesthouse was ancient and elegant.

The garden of the guesthouse is a typical southern garden. It is known for its exquisiteness and gracefulness.

Although Lucius and Narcissa did not understand what it meant to change the scenery, they could feel the cultural heritage contained in the landscape.

Narcissa fell in love with this unique garden almost at first sight. She looked at the rockery, pond, flowers and trees.

She felt a kind of peace from the heart. The pressure and hesitation accumulated during this period seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment.

She whispered: "Lucius, if I want to settle in China during this period, I hope to live in a house like this."

Lucius made a "hmm" sound from his nose, and his cold gray-blue eyes narrowed slightly.

As the most flexible pure-blood family, he has begun to consider the plan of living in China in case the Dark Lord returns.

The secret room incident has caused a lot of uproar, and it is difficult for Lucius to explain to the Dark Lord that he revealed the whereabouts of the diary.

"Narcissa, I think," Lucius said slowly, "we can consider developing new business here.

Although they are all Muggles, the feeling of Muggles here is completely different from that in the UK."

He looked at the tower cranes that were as dense as a forest in the distance. The whole city was like a huge construction site. Even near dusk, they were still working non-stop.

"It seems that there is something in the air here that is gestating and wants to erupt. There seems to be light in the eyes of the Muggles."

Lucius was silent for a while, and said uncertainly:

"It should be said that they seem to be full of hope and confidence, like a burning flame.

I have a hunch that here, I will push the wealth of the Malfoy family to a new peak!"

Narcissa looked at her husband who suddenly became excited again, her eyes were as gentle as water, and she saw Lucius' anxiety and fear during this period.

Now that he can cheer up again, it is the best thing.

"I will listen to you, Lucius."

Malfoy didn't know what his parents were worried about. The sensitive and delicate brother, like his mother, loved this garden very much.

When he was about to suggest to his father that he should build such a garden at home, he heard a loud cry from the horizon.

Malfoy, who was very familiar with the blue phoenix, immediately looked up at the sky.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it was like a bucket of orange-red paint was overturned in the sky.

The misty color dyed most of the sky red, and an invisible pen dipped it and smeared it twice, and then drew a fiery cloud.

Two black spots rushed down from the sky, and Malfoy stared at them for a while.

One of them was the familiar blue phoenix, and the other was a bird like a falcon.

The peregrine falcon was about to rush to the ground, but when it was still a few meters above the ground, it suddenly spread its wings to slow down, and turned around like a feint in Quidditch.

In Malfoy's surprised eyes, the peregrine falcon with its wings spread out turned into a person in almost an instant.

Wearing a flowing and loose white Taoist robe, the wide sleeves fluttered in the air.

Like a feather, it fell lightly from the air and stood steadily on the ground.

Who else could it be but Zhang Xiao?

"Zhang? You... have learned Animagus?" Malfoy rushed forward in two or three steps, excited to give him a hug.

But then he remembered something, coughed lightly, and performed a standard gentleman's etiquette:

"Long time no see, respected president."

Zhang Xiao smiled and took two steps forward, hugged him:

"Long time no see, Draco! At this time, there is no need to be reserved."

Friendship is really a very strange relationship. Sometimes two good friends have not seen each other for a long time, and it seems to be dull.

But when they meet, the feeling is like an aged wine, but it is a bit mellower.

After a brief chat with Malfoy, Zhang Xiao patted Malfoy on the shoulder and asked him to wait for a moment.

Lucius and Narcissa are still here, no matter what they think of Lucius in private.

In front of friends, you should give his parents enough respect, which is also respect for friends.

"Mr. Lucius, Mrs. Narcissa, welcome to China, I hope you have a good time here."

Lucius looked complicated. A few months ago, you held the wand and asked me why I was not afraid of you and Dumbledore. This was not the attitude.

Narcissa didn't know what her husband was thinking. She liked this child very much since Draco and Zhang became friends.

The whole person has become much more cheerful, no longer like always imitating his father, but really like a child.

"Thank you, child, it's beautiful here, I like it very much, to be honest, I plan to build such a yard for my own home, or simply settle down in China.

Every year when Draco is on vacation, we can come and live for a while."

"You are welcome." Zhang Xiao bowed slightly again politely.

Then he looked puzzled:

"Mr. Lucius, has my father arrived?"

"MR Zhang?" Lucius raised his eyebrows. He also wondered why he didn't see Zhang's father.

Although Zhang's performance has always been perfect, Lucius still feels that it is useful to talk to adults about important matters. No matter how good a child is, he will always be a child.

"Although I was also looking forward to meeting Mr. Zhang, unfortunately, he did not come."

Didn't come? Behind me?

It's impossible. It took a long time to fly here by myself. It's only a few hundred kilometers away. With dad's moving, we should have arrived long ago.

Zhang Xiao made an apologetic gesture to the Malfoy family and took out his mobile phone.

"Hello? Dad, where are you? I'm here."

"Xiaoxiao, I'm just about to call you. I guess you'll be here soon."

A scary scream and Zhang Chengdao's calm voice came from the other side of the phone:

"I've been here a long time ago, but just now your Uncle Zhao asked me to do a favor. There is a place called Hebang Hotel here that they can't handle.

As a Shaotian Master, this kind of thing is my responsibility, so I came over to take a look. "

The strange screams suddenly turned into screams, and the overwhelming ferocity could be felt through the phone.

The Malfoys who were quietly listening to the phone couldn't help but shudder.

"Dad, how is the situation over there? Do you need my help?"

Master Zhang Xiaotian easily defeated Leng Qianyu, who was no longer weak. After being taught, he was now extremely confident.

It's like having a hammer in your hand and wanting to find a few nails to hit it.

"No, it's a small scene. It's just that there are so many ghosts that it almost becomes a ghost den." Zhang Chengdao said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, I'll hang up now. You can take care of the Malfoy family's affairs.

It's not like I don't have the ability. I'll go over there once I've taken care of it. "

Zhang Xiao hung up the phone and shook his head at the Malfoy family:

"Mr. Lucius, my father can't come over for the time being. If you have anything, please tell me.

I can decide. "

Lucius was silent for a while, took a deep breath, stared at him, and said in a helpless tone:

"Zhang, I want you to fulfill your promise and ensure our safety."

Malfoy, who was standing quietly aside, suddenly looked surprised, but he didn't know when his father made such an agreement with his good friend.

Lucius didn't pay attention to Malfoy's surprise. He paused and said seriously:

"A few days ago, the Wizarding Prison of Azkaban was breached, and all the prisoners, including those - those Death Eaters."

Zhang Xiao slowly opened his eyes, as if wondering if he heard wrongly.

Azkaban prison was breached?

Are those dementors just decorations?

Yes, those who can release the Patronus Charm are not necessarily good people, but except for the spy Snape, no one among the Death Eaters seems to be able to release the Patronus Curse.

Because it's not needed.

It is difficult for dementors to draw enough happiness from dark wizards.

So they are natural allies, but if they want to break the prison, the first thing they have to do is find Azkaban, right?

The second is the huge number of dementors.

He watched Lucius quietly waiting for the next step.

As a Death Eater, Lucius knew a little better, and he quickly added:

"According to the warden of the Ministry of Magic, after he got the door key and was about to go on a routine inspection, he was attacked by someone and the door key was taken away.

In fact, the Ministry of Magic is covering up its own incompetence.

The truth is that the Ministry of Magic quietly captured a group of non-human creatures and briefly imprisoned human wizards, and prepared to send them to Azkaban to feed the Dementors.

The wizards who were briefly detained somehow managed to break free of their shackles and even hid their wands. "

Zhang Xiao nodded, thoughtfully.

That's no wonder. Judging from my last experience with Dumbledore when I went to Azkaban, it was considered to be heavily guarded.

From the production and distribution of portkeys to the warden, they all have their own duties, and they are all at the core of the Ministry of Magic.

It's hard to play tricks here.

So the only window period was the period after the wizard who was shackled and had his wand confiscated was sent to Azkaban.

He glanced at Malfoy:

"Mr. Lucius, let's talk somewhere else."

A secluded meeting room in the guest house.

Lucius whispered what happened next:

"Now the entire wizarding world is panicked, and Fudge is extremely worried, but he can't do anything and is trying to suppress the news.

Under pressure, he has announced that he will expand the number of Aurors and grant greater enforcement powers to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Commit to rearrest all fugitives as soon as possible.

But what he doesn’t know is.”

A trace of fear appeared on Lucius's pale and thin face, and his voice was a little lower, with a slight tremor:

"Bella and Anthony have contacted me, saying that the Dark Lord's most loyal subordinates have gathered together again.

The great Dark Lord will surely return. Let me beg the Dark Lord for forgiveness as soon as possible with loyalty. "

If it were before, Lucius would have knelt before the Dark Lord again without hesitation and with his so-called 'loyalty'.

No matter what the final result is, at least save the lives of your family first.

The good people represented by Dumbledore do not kill people randomly.

But the Dark Lord does.

But it was different now, because Malfoy actually noticed it with great interest.

What to say, choose C, join them!

Then look for opportunities to do something powerful for the Dark Lord, or simply become a double agent.

This is simply pushing the Malfoy family into the fire pit!

Double agent?

Who can escape the Dark Lord's Legilimency?

There were spies during the years when the Dark Lord was active, but they all died miserably without exception.

Malfoy's tendency completely cut off Lucius's original attempt to beg for forgiveness from the Dark Lord by offering his wealth and so-called loyalty.

Lucius, who had made up his mind, was very active. He entrusted the business in just two days.

He came to China with the Malfoy family's collection and a large amount of gold Galleons.

Of course, Lucius did not completely believe what Zhang Xiao, a child, said.

He implicitly asked for Dumbledore's opinion.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore gave him a very positive reply-"Lucius, I have to admit that you made a very good decision.

If you want to stay away from disputes and ensure the safety of your family.

Zhang's hometown is a perfect choice. At least from what I have seen so far, there is a group of very powerful people in the far east.

To be fair, I don't think Tom can deal with Zhang's grandfather, not to mention that there seems to be a very deep understanding of the soul there.

If I were Tom, I would definitely not want to appear in front of them."

It was Dumbledore's reply that finally made Lucius make up his mind.

And Zhang Xiao's status and importance are constantly improving through Dumbledore's reply.

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, only to feel that the situation was complicated and very messy.

Who robbed the prison? What is the relationship with the Dark Lord? Has it appeared in the original book?

What subsequent changes may it bring?

There are too many things to consider.

Relying on the news brought by Lucius alone, it is impossible to analyze any clues.

The most urgent task is to solve the Malfoy family's affairs first.

"Since I have promised, I will certainly fulfill my promise.

Mr. Lucius, you can live in China until the matter is over or you want to leave.

I wonder what specific requirements you and Mrs. Narcissa have?

Do you want to live in a quiet place without being disturbed, or do you want to experience the feeling of being in a crowd?"

The small meeting room fell silent. Narcissa and Malfoy said nothing, just waiting for Lucius's answer.

This is also the tradition of the Malfoy family. Everything outside is based on the decision of the patriarch.

Lucius touched the round and cold head of the snake staff, but said something that Zhang Xiao did not expect:

"I want to do business in China. It's just Muggle business."

Do business? Zhang Xiao was a little surprised. If it weren't for his different identity now, he would have wanted to do business himself.

"What kind of business?"

Lucius' pale cheeks flushed slightly. This kind of excited expression seemed to be unique to the Malfoy family.

"Real estate, I noticed that there seem to be a lot of Muggles in China, but the houses are not tall, I think real estate must be a good direction.

In addition, I also want to invest in textiles. By the way, I also own shares in a drilling company.

"

So. Some people's wealth is not without reason.

What a keen business mind!

After learning that Lucius only prepared a "mere" 500 million pounds of funds this time, and said that it was not enough, he could continue to raise several hundred million.

Zhang Xiao silently dialed Zhao Yuanxu's phone:

"Hello, Uncle Zhao, I wonder if you have the task of attracting investment. Really?

No, Uncle Zhao, are you going to attract monsters to invest?

Oh. The unit with the shell has it.

I have a local. A rich man, 500 million pounds, foreign exchange.

Come right away?

Okay."

After making an OK gesture to Lucius.

Zhang Xiao put away his mobile phone, his face became serious, and the next thing to consider was a more important issue.

"Mr. Lucius, have they found the Dark Lord?"
