Chapter 139: Catherine
Zhu Youzhen followed Sun Chengzong's Chinese army, from the Great Wall all the way to the east, Wangshan Customs, but there was no more chaos.
The Great Wall was built very wide, and the widest part could accommodate five horses in parallel. During the day, everyone rode horses and marched, pointed out the rivers and mountains, watched the snow scene, and rested in the beacon tower of the Great Wall at night, which was also very comfortable.
As the saying goes: if you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero. When Zhu Youzhen was in his previous life, he also wanted to visit the Great Wall and enjoy being a hero. I have no choice but to pay for Beijing Mizhu Xingui, and the living expenses for a semester will be gone. Therefore, although I had a lot of time, I never had the opportunity to visit the Great Wall.
But he has seen it on TV, but Qi Meifeng, Bao Yulian and others have really never seen the Great Wall. At this time, when I saw it, I was all impressed by the majestic momentum and magnificent mountains and rivers, and I was full of praise along the way.
And the alien girl opened her eyes even more in surprise, and she couldn't stop screaming for joy, as if she couldn't express her excitement otherwise.
One night, when everyone rested at the beacon tower, the sun was setting, and the snow-capped mountains were illuminated by the fiery red sun, like a fairy tale world. When the girl saw this beautiful scenery, she couldn't help but be childlike, and raised her arms and shouted at the mountains.
Zhu Youzhen remembered that until now, he didn't know what her name was. As for her origins, and why she came here, I don't know anything.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, this thing wanted to be close to this Western beauty, so he stood beside her, salivated and said in broken English: "Thegreatwall, OneoftheEightWondersoftHeworld!" ”
The girl was still immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of her, and she didn't even pay attention to Zhu Youzhen. The goods suddenly felt very embarrassed, and when they were at a loss, Bao Yu asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, why do you still speak Fanbang dialect?" I think the prince is very interested in this girl! ”
Zhu Youzhen knew that his dirty thoughts were seen through by the sensitive Bao Yulian at a glance, and he couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly said cheekily: "This king is well-read and knowledgeable, and he knows too much, and he knows several foreign languages alone, so he can't tell you them one by one!" ”
Bao Yu glanced at him with pity, and said with a little mockery: "Then I don't know what the prince said to her just now?" Did you ask her if she had ever been married? ”
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said with a white face: "What, don't think crooked!" I just told her that the Great Wall is one of the eight wonders of the world! ”
"One of the Eight Wonders of the World?" Qi Meifeng, who was on the side, finally couldn't help it, and interjected and asked, "Is there any building in the world that can be comparable to the Great Wall?" What is that, and where is it? ”
Zhu Youzhen said triumphantly: "The eight wonders of the world are the pyramids of Egypt, the statue of Zeus in Greece, the Temple of Artemis in Turkey, the lighthouse of Port Alexandria, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Mausoleum of Mosolasky, the Colossus of the Sun God of Rhodes Island, and our Great Wall. ”
"Your Highness, what are the places you are talking about in Egypt and Greece? Why has Miho never heard of it? Qi Meifeng asked with wide eyes.
"Sister, don't be fooled, the prince lied to you!" Bao Yu smiled and said, "These strange names must have been made up by the prince himself, so as to coax the hearts of girls!" Sister, although you are strong in martial arts, you are not deeply involved in the world, don't fall for the prince! ”
Hearing Bao Yulian say this, Qi Meifeng also looked at Zhu Youzhen with a slight contempt in suspicion, and listened to his words and watched his deeds, this His Royal Highness the King of Faith is really as Sister Yulian said, he is such a character!
Zhu Youzhen said with tears and laughter: "This king is wronged!" These place names and buildings are real, but the world is too big for you to be. If you haven't seen it, it's not true? ”
Bao Yulian said sharply: "Yes, we haven't seen each other." So, have you been and seen the prince? I'm afraid that this trip to Shanhaiguan is the farthest trip of the prince, right? ”
"I haven't seen it," Zhu Youjian said with sweat on his head, "but I saw it from a book!" ”
"How can there be such an absurd book? Take it out for everyone to see! Bao Yulian smiled maliciously.
"It's... This king didn't bring it! ”
"Hehehe~ The prince is the best at deceiving people!" Bao Yulian laughed provocatively, that smile was innocent, Zhu Youzhen was stupid for a while!
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was speechless, Qi Meifeng smiled and relieved him: "Okay, Your Highness, Sister Yulian is such a narrow-minded person, for the sake of her treating you for several months, don't punish her!" ”
When it came to curing poison, Bao Yulian immediately remembered Zhu Youzhen's stripped naked body and his ill-intentioned things, and his cheeks immediately turned red, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
At this time, Sun Chengzong paced over with a smile and said, "General Qi, don't think that Your Highness is talking nonsense. The old man was listening to it just now, although the 'Eight Wonders of the World' was unheard of, but one of the things His Highness mentioned, the old man had also heard of it. ”
Qi Meifeng said curiously: "Master Inspector, I don't know which one?" ”
Sun Chengzong opened the conversation and said: "During the Yongle period of my dynasty, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, was ordered by Emperor Chengzu to go to the West six times and went to many states, and the customs and products of the people there are quite different from my Central Plains. There are dozens of ancient books in the Ministry of Rites, which were written by Zheng He and his entourage, and recorded many anecdotes during the trip.
"The old man once flipped through it, and it seemed to mention the place 'Egypt', and said that there are dozens of huge stones in the local desert, with high towers at the top and bottom, like the word 'gold', and the height can reach dozens of zhang, which is suspected to be the tomb of the ancient king.
After reading it, the others thought that this was a proverb made up by Zheng Hehu to deal with errands, and there could be no such stone pagoda in the world. They said: I want to think that the poor land of the state, no matter the manpower and material resources, it is far inferior to my China. If there is really such a big stone, my generation will not be able to build it, and the people of Fanbang will not be able to do it. The old man thought that this must be the real scene, but he couldn't see it for himself. ”
"Look, the Inspector has testified for this king, do you dare not believe it?" Zhu Youzhen said triumphantly.
At this time, Bao Yulian and Qi Meifeng were dumbfounded, and immediately respected Zhu Youzhen, thinking that this prince usually looks like a fascination, but he didn't expect that he is really knowledgeable, and sure enough, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight!
Seeing the two beauties looking at themselves, their eyes full of adoration, the vanity of this thing was greatly satisfied. In fact, these things were just common sense in previous lives, and they were the kind of common sense that didn't matter if you knew it. I don't want to be in this era, but I have become a symbol of knowledge, so that this goods have a long face, and I got rid of the hat of "no learning and no skills"!
Sun Chengzong saw Zhu Youzhen's heart blooming, and took the opportunity to smile: "Your Highness lives in the palace, these must have been seen from ancient books." It seems that His Royal Highness has a lot of books, as well as the "Qinyuan Spring" the day before yesterday, the old man later asked everyone, no one has heard of it, presumably it is contained in a lone book. I don't know if I can let the old man read it after returning to Beijing, hahaha! ”
"That's necessary, it's necessary..." Zhu Youzhen agreed, but he was bitter in his heart, and secretly said that I don't have any lonely books, and if I have them, it's just some spring palace pictures.
At this time, the alien girl was awakened by the conversation of everyone and recovered from her intoxication. But she couldn't understand Chinese, and thought it was Zhu Youzhen who quarreled with the two beauties, so she hurriedly persuaded in English: "Don't quarrel, wearebestfriends (don't quarrel, we are good friends)!" ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that there was an opportunity, and he was busy talking with the blonde beautiful girl in English.
didn't say a few words, but Zhu Youzhen was sweating and stammering. It turns out that the English of this product is too stubborn, and it can only deal with the simplest sentences at the junior high school level. The girl's speed of speech was a little faster, and there were a lot of new words, Zhu Youzhen couldn't understand it at all, so he had to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said: "pleasespeakslowly, myenglishisverypool (please speak slowly, I can't speak English)!" ”
Seeing this, the girl smiled slightly, and really lowered her speaking speed, and even read it to Zhu Youzhen word by word. Zhu Youzhen almost put his ears on the girl's fragrant lips, and he could only understand a rough idea.
According to her, she was the daughter of a Russian aristocrat who had grown up in England and spoke English. A few years ago, she returned with her father and wanted to settle in Moscow, but unexpectedly, there was a civil strife in Russia, and neighboring Poland took this opportunity to invade on a large scale, and the Rurik dynasty, the first dynasty in Russian history, collapsed with this civil strife.
After that, Russia was plunged into extreme chaos. Feudal lords, large and small, fought to the death for the Tsar's throne.
After a long time, these lords finally realized that if the civil strife was not ended, Russia would be destroyed by Poland. So the forces finally reached a compromise and jointly elected Mikhail? Fedorovich? Romanov became Tsar. The sixteen-year-old boy is said to have inherited the lineage of Ivan IV, the first tsar of the Rurik dynasty.
Unfortunately, the girl's father did not support Romanov's accession to the throne. So when Romanov came to power, he began to purge dissidents. In the process of fleeing, the girl was separated from her father, and thinking that if she fled to the West, she might still be extradited back to Moscow, so she plunged to the east, ran farther and farther, but unexpectedly became a prisoner of the Mongols, and was almost sold as a slave.
After listening to this girl's narration, Zhu Youzhen was skeptical, thinking that it stands to reason that the Russians had been enslaved by the Mongols for hundreds of years, and they should always have palpitations, even if they ran for their lives, they should not run in this direction, wouldn't that be self-defeating. And the girl's eyes flickered, as if she was hiding something.
But after thinking about it, this is all Lao Maozi's business, and it has nothing to do with himself, so he doesn't want to ask deeply, but just asks with a smile in English: "I don't know your name yet?" ”
The girl was slightly stunned, a hint of blush flew up her cheeks, and she replied shyly: "mynameisekaterina (my name is Catherine)!" ”
