Chapter 61
When Li Lingjue's group of kittens and puppies started to fight and shake the ground, Li Xingbing finally had enough people under his hands to deal with the troubles caused by the little monsters everywhere, and he himself was able to relax. Come down, and take Zhong Wan on the westbound journey.
Since they wanted to see the scenery, they naturally didn't fly there. They passed through the Gobi all the way to the north and entered the territory of the Moscow Principality. Hired a carriage, squatted inside and did not go out.
It was also the first time for Li Xingchui to leave the territory of the Chen Dynasty, and he was full of curiosity about these tall, fair-skinned and strong foreigners.The two coachmen they hired had grown up on the border and knew the wealth of the neighboring country well. When they saw that the two handsome men with flowing robes and sleeves wanted to travel in a carriage, they scrambled to take the job.
Due to the language barrier, Li Xingchui hired a guide, and the group of five walked along the main town of the principality, which was very pleasant.This day was about to arrive in Moscow, Li Xingchui didn't want to be bored in the carriage, so he rode the Alkin horse unique to the Principality while strolling around the carriage, and suddenly called Ah Wan.
"There is a manor in front of me. I wanted to go to Moscow to rest, but this manor is very special. You might be interested."
Zhong Wan looked in the direction his whip was pointing at, and saw a stretch of magnificent buildings stretching back as far as the eye could see.Compared with other aristocratic manors they have seen along the way, this building is undoubtedly more imposing and refined. Not only does it have a wonderful garden with faintly visible flowers in full bloom, but it also has completely symmetrical palace-style buildings.
The guide explained with trepidation: "This is the palace of His Royal Highness Ivan III, not an ordinary manor." He talked about Ivan III's war talent and arbitrariness, and persuaded them to give up the idea of going to the palace.The guide came all the way, and it's not that he didn't notice that Li Xingchui was different from ordinary people.He knew that if this man wanted to do something, they would absolutely be unable to stop him, so his words already carried the meaning of pleading.
Li Xingchui ignored it, and just asked Zhong Wan, "Ah Wan, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Zhong Wan was naturally very curious about the talented Ivan III in the legend, but he thought that these two coachmen and guides were locals after all, and if they offended the monarch of a country, they would definitely end badly.So he shook his head.
But Li Xingchui could easily read his curiosity from his expression. He blinked and said nothing more. After entering the city, he found a hotel to rest and went shopping.Compared with the capital of the Chen Dynasty, Moscow at this time was poor to a certain extent. It is said that in the early years, Chen Gaozong sent people to attack the Rurik Dynasty at that time, but these places were too barren and the Chen Dynasty had no time to look after them. Gradually loosen the jurisdiction, but when encountering major events, such as the new emperor's enthronement, the ruler here will send people to congratulate him.
Speaking of it, it is unbelievable that the Chen Dynasty can last for a thousand years. This is simply a collection of ancient Chinese feudal dynasties!
"You ask why the Chen Dynasty lasted for thousands of years?" Li Xingchui casually glanced at the alien dresses on a small stall, and suddenly stopped, "Of course there are monsters. This time, I will I really should find some history books to show you. In the history of the Chen Dynasty, there are many monarchs who ascended the throne not long ago, or who died suddenly in their later years. Why do you think that is? Those elders who went out to travel when they were old always like to meddle in their own business If nothing happened, they pretended to be ghosts and made some signs to show that a certain prince was virtuous to inherit the rule. If any state or county was in trouble, they would have to intervene, not to mention those monsters who like to wander around the rivers and lakes gone."
"I didn't expect that you guys still like to hide merit and fame..." Zhong Wan muttered, and asked him again: "Then if you discover this kind of system in the future... It means that the world will develop better without the emperor's governance, so why? manage?"
"Of course it's as good as it gets." Li Xingchui replied casually, squatting down to look at the gorgeous dance dresses being sold at the stall.The stall owner was a middle-aged woman, and she was overjoyed to see this handsome man who had attracted countless attentions as soon as she went to the street. .
Zhong Wan saw that Li Xing's face blushed when he heard the medieval Russian, and he couldn't help but glance at the woman who set up the stall. It was true that she had a tall and plump figure that the middle-earth women didn't have, but would Li Xingchui be so fascinated by it?
"Hey, take your time, I'm going to buy smoked ham to eat."
After speaking, he walked away, Li Xingchui came back to his senses, got up and took Zhong Wan's hand, pointed to the dance skirts on the stall, and whispered in his ear: "How about buying a few and trying?" Well, tonight we—"
"You stupid cat that can only be in heat!" Zhong Wan instantly understood what this guy was laughing at just now, and raised his hand to give him a slap in embarrassment, causing passers-by to look sideways.
Li Xingchui was still thinking about it, and wrapped up a few dance skirts on his own way, and caught up with Zhong Wan, "Although the material of this dress is thin, it can cover all the places that should be covered. It is not worn in the royal palace on weekdays. I don't see you being so shy."
Then you can't go abroad!
Zhong Wan knew that he couldn't make sense with him, so she ignored him and walked to the outskirts of the town on her own.Moscow was still a small village more than 100 years ago. If Dachen, a powerful enemy, was not at his side, the monarch at that time would not have built towns including Moscow as military fortresses.Today, traces of the past villages can still be seen in this capital, especially on the edge, where young people in twos and threes are chatting and dancing around bonfires and tents at dusk, which is very lively.
The two stepped forward to communicate with the young man, and finally got a delicious charcoal grilled kebab. After tasting it, they were full.Li Xingchui squeezed Zhong Wan's hand and asked him, "Would you like to visit the palace?"
This is the master who can be invisible, Zhong Wan agreed without thinking too much.After so many years, even with Zhong Wan's slow practice speed, he was able to fly for a short distance.The two landed in the garden of the palace, accidentally stepped on the roses on the ground, and were stabbed to the calf by thorns.
People in the Chen Dynasty love to appreciate chrysanthemums and peonies. Although roses are produced in some areas, they are still not the mainstream. Seeing the roses everywhere in this palace, Zhong Wan couldn't help but think of the lovers who abused dogs everywhere in the streets in his distant memory. On the first day of the festival, he said with emotion: "Romeo, Romeo, why are you called Romeo? Deny your father and abandon your name, so as long as you swear to be my lover..."
"Who is Romeo?" The cat owner's sour question rang in his ears. When Zhong Wan turned his head, he saw his cat's pupils were burning with anger, staring at him as if he was going to take his breath away.
"Romeo is the protagonist written by a playwright named Shakespeare. I know you don't have enough books, so you must not understand." Zhong Wan carefully pushed aside the rose bushes and walked to the path in the middle of the garden.Li Xingchui gritted his teeth with hatred, and asked, "Then why do you want a person in the book to swear to be your lover? Am I not your lover?"
"Pfft..." Zhong Wan tapped his head with his index finger, and said, "It seems that I have to find more classics to give you lines, and I don't even know the lines."
Hearing this, Li Xingchui's expression softened a little, but he still followed behind him and insisted: "You are not allowed to say anything about love to others when you speak lines, love...someone is here!"
His eyes changed, and he took a step forward to hold Zhong Wan's hand.Invisibility requires physical contact to be effective, he whispered to Zhong Wan not to let him go, and quickly walked out of the garden to the gate of the palace to check.
A gilded red carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance of the palace. A majestic double-headed eagle emblem was embedded on the side of the carriage, which instantly caught Zhong Wan's attention.I saw a beautiful woman in a complicated lace tutu skirt being led down from the carriage. She raised her eyes and adjusted the top hat on her head. Holding the hand of the maid beside her, she walked up the steps step by step. .
Li Xingchui and Zhong Wan stood at the corner and looked at this group of people who were obviously different from ordinary people. The former's eyes were full of curiosity, while the latter's was thoughtful.
"Princess." At this moment, a tall guard who was walking diagonally behind the woman suddenly stopped, and cast his gaze directly behind the pillar where Zhong Wan and the others were standing.The woman who was called the princess unfolded the feather fan in her hand, and when the guards around her finished their report in a low voice, a smile rose from the corner of her lips, and she walked straight towards them.
"Sanhuang, what's going on, can they detect our breath?" Zhong Wan was startled.
Li Xingchui nodded helplessly, "After all, I can't completely control the spiritual energy in your body, so it will leak out some naturally. That guard is not an ordinary person, but the spiritual energy in his body flows very strangely, and I can't see how it is. "
The woman chuckled and chattered, but Zhong Wan couldn't understand and just stood there in a daze.The woman pondered for a while, and then changed to another language.Zhong Wan understood this time, the girl was not speaking Slavic, but Latin.This is the second foreign language he learned in modern times. Although the usage in the Middle Ages is slightly different, he can understand it.
"She wanted us to show up. She said she wanted to make friends. She also said that she was a follower of the Golden Lion Sect and wanted to discuss the doctrine with us..." Zhong Wan finished translating, and Li Xingchui's jaw dropped naturally.But now is not the time to find out why he understands this weird language. Now that the other party has seen their hiding place, Li Xingchui is not going to hide any more. He shows up generously and slightly nods at the large group of people. .
But the princess's eyes lit up, she performed a standard court ceremony, and announced her family name: "My name is Sophia, and I am from Constantinople."
Zhong Wan was inexplicably excited, she was indeed the last princess of the Byzantine Empire!
