Section XVI

Esther didn't really mean to blame Xiaobi, and when she heard Wu Ming say this, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. Don't kneel, get up. As she spoke, she held the wedding dress on her chest with her left hand, and was about to pull Wu Ming with her right hand.

Xiaobi kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, princess, thank you, princess." When he got up, he threw a grateful glance at Wu Ming.

The two walked all the way to the dock, and Wu Ming couldn't help but be a little funny when he saw him holding the wedding dress like a baby: "Okay, don't be so nervous, just give him to Xiaobi, are you really afraid that people will wrinkle you?" ”

Esther said: "It's such a wedding dress for a lifetime, so naturally you have to cherish it...... " She stood up and said suddenly: "Brother Amin, Sister Meishana's dance is beautiful." ”

Wu Ming never expected her to suddenly pop out of such a sentence, and said casually: "Yes, it's pretty good." Seeing Esther's mouth pursed, Wu Ming secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly smiled with a shy face: "No, I just went to see Longhou's ......"

Esther didn't care about his explanation, and said straightforwardly: "Actually, people's dances are not necessarily worse than Sister Meisanna, and on the day I get married, I will wear this wedding dress and dance the most beautiful dance in the world for you." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Wu Ming's heart was only moved, and he couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Xiao Ai." ”

Esther shook her head and continued to walk forward: "Thank me, it's just a custom, it's the etiquette of a bride to a groom." ”

There are also such customs, Wu Ming couldn't help but be surprised: "Really? "The customs and habits of Persia are similar to those of the original West Asia, but Wu Ming rummaged through his head, but he still didn't find such a statement.

"yes." Esther kept on her feet and murmured, "This has to start with the first Persian crusade, when there was also a princess in our country named Emer. She is also very beautiful, and she dances well. ”

Wu Ming smiled secretly in his heart, this Nizi, at this time, I also added a word. This does not change the appearance of admitting that he is also beautiful and dances well? But looking at her graceful side, but also deeply convinced, Esther continued: "But this princess, I like a person, this person has no power and power, just a petty officer. ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but say, "Like a small officer? How can it be? ”

This is not that he deliberately found fault, but that reality decides. The princess of Persia, who must have lived in seclusion in the palace for a long time. Like Esther, there are too few people who can become a saint, and there are only ones who can become a saint and become a seven-stage master. Without these two conditions, she and Esther would not have known each other, and there would be no series of stories behind. Esther glanced at Wu Ming, a hint of blush appeared on her face, and she said softly: "The princess accidentally fell off her horse during the royal hunt, and her face towel fell off, and then she was rescued by this little officer. ”

"Ahem, ahem." Wu Ming knew that he was lying down, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "That little officer is so lucky?" What is your name? ”

"You're not out of luck." Esther glared at him charmingly: "This little officer's name is Vins. ”

"And then?"

Wu Ming thought that this story was made up by Esther at first, but when he saw her gloomy face, he immediately knew that he was wrong, if it was really made up by her, it would be impossible to be so involved and so sad.

Esther sighed: "Later, later, Lord Wugong Han Bani launched an expedition, and Wence became the accompanying secretary, died in battle, and never returned. Her voice was low, as if she was about to cry: "Princess Emer is on this high ground, wearing a white wedding dress, shouting Wens's name, and throwing herself into the sea. Later, I heard from the princess's maid, 'Wins and the princess agreed to marry her when he came back in triumph and had done great things.' The princess promised Vins that he would unveil her with his own hands on the wedding day, and that she would dance for Vins and be the most beautiful bride in the world. ’”

It's a sad story indeed. Although there were only a few words, Wu Ming also felt the tragedy of the battlefield and the helplessness of the heroes and heroines in the story. Esther was already in tears: "I heard the old man in the palace say that in the past, Persian women were required to wear veils for life, and thought that if a woman dressed too revealingly, it was a sin. After this, the temple decreed that maidens must wear a veil before marriage, and once they are married, they must be exempted from wearing it. And the veil of the bride must be lifted by the groom, and the bride has to dance for the groom for Tujili. ”

No wonder the Persian girl is good at dancing, no wonder she unveiled Xiao Ai, and she stubbornly stalked her. No wonder the women of Persia have removed their veils.

So that's what happened. After listening to this story, many plausible places were satisfactorily answered, which made Wu Ming more and more firm in his conjecture, this world must be related to the original earth, but why it became like this, he was still puzzled.

But what does it matter, he couldn't help but look down, in the distance, those big ships have already entered the harbor. When it was closer, I could vaguely see a large number of soldiers standing neatly above, with iron armor and swords and guns. A large group of sailors, shouting trumpets and shirtless, were trying to drag the huge iron anchor at the bow of the ship toward the shore. Presumably, the soldiers on board are going ashore and are clearing the field. In the streets, groups of cavalry galloped across the streets, shouting something. As they shouted, the street was filled with tourists and vendors scurrying around like frightened ants. This qiē shows that this is a real world, and the people living on it are all living people.

There is no doubt that the temple, which was transmitted in the form of Eastern Buddhism, was imperceptibly influencing these Persians. They gradually became one with the country, not only in religion, politics, military, and even in all aspects of life.

Esther slapped him abruptly and said angrily, "What are you still thinking, you are not allowed to think nonsense, if you want to watch the dance, I will just show you the dance." ”

Esther clearly misunderstood. But Wu Ming couldn't shout for himself to be distracted, so he had to say respectfully: "Yes." ”

"That's pretty much it." Esther gave him a blank look, and then she walked forward with her toes high, and before she had taken a few steps, she suddenly exclaimed: "That's Uncle Wyatt's flagship, Saint-Goreret, didn't he go to the Bay of Inner Asia to suppress bandits, why did he come back?" ”

"Wyatt? Wen Gong Wyatt. ”

"Yes!" Esther nodded, pulled Wu Ming and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

By the time the two of them reached the dock, the soldiers had already cleared the field. However, the dock was originally crowded with people, and suddenly how to evacuate, many people had nowhere to hide, so they had to crowd on both sides of the street in panic, watching these knights show off their might on the avenue. The whole dock was full of people, like a hornet's nest that had been poked open. Looking at this chaotic scene, Wu Ming frowned and said to Esther: "When you Persian sailors come ashore, are you so disorganized every time?" It's too much of a nuisance. ”

Esther was looking into the distance with her neck stretched, and was very dissatisfied when she heard this: "Who said that there is a special military port south of Gehan, and the navy used to dock there, who knows what kind of madness these soldiers are doing." ”

Hearing her say this, Wu Ming was a little uneasy. There must be something important about Duke Wen leading his troops straight to Gehan with such a big lama. It can't be that the emperor died. That's the end of it. He didn't care about Philip's life or death, but that his marriage to Esther needed the Persian emperor to open the golden mouth. If you really do it like this, I'm afraid you will have to have complications again.

In the distance, a large group of ironclad soldiers descended from the Saint-Gorille. More and more knights appeared on the avenues, galloping and pruising to and fro. As soon as the people crossed the distance slightly, they immediately waited for the whip. A knight rode a tall horse, carrying a huge iron cone-shaped spear, and rushed all the way to the sonorous rampage, shouting as he ran: "Grandpa Wen borrows the way, and the idle people dodge at a fast speed, otherwise they will be punished as obstructing the execution of military affairs." ”

Wu Ming pulled Esther: "Are all your sailors cavalry?" ”

Esther shook her head and said, "No, this is the Lang Jiao Battalion, which is specially responsible for land charging operations by the Navy Army, and it is very famous." It is also the ace army that Jiao Hou relies on to become famous. and Uncle Mitra's Camp Dragon, known as the Haitian Twin Camp. ”

Wu Ming nodded secretly, the naval army could not be all naval battles, and it might also involve landing operations, amphibious operations, etc., and it was reasonable to set up such a Lang Jiao battalion. He thought for a moment and continued: "The Jiaolong Battalion is a heavy armored cavalry, so what is the Jiaolong Battalion?" ”

Esther pointed to the distance and said, "Well, the dragon camp is here." Following Esther's point, he saw a group of heavily armored warriors rushing down from another boat, and then trotting all the way to the avenue, these soldiers, like the heavy cavalry, all wearing iron helmets and iron armor, leaving only a line of eyes, like a steel monster, they ran all the way, and their armor "rattled". These heavily armored warriors held a sword in one hand and a large round shield in the other. When they went up the avenue, they did not speak, but stood straight on either side, motionless like javelins.

Wu Ming knew that this dragon battalion was a heavy armor warrior. It's just that Duke Wen transferred the Haitian Twin Battalion, which obviously belonged to the fortification, back to Gehan, what did he want to do? Just as he was turning his thoughts, he heard a little girl exclaim, "Oh, my meow." ”

Wu Ming looked up and saw a golden cat standing in the middle of the avenue. A little girl of seven or eight years old barked and yelled and threw herself at the cat. There were also two middle-aged men screaming in horror and desperately chasing the child. And about thirty paces away, a horse rushed straight forward, flying up a cloud of smoke and dust, and his mouth was still shouting: "Grandpa Wen borrows the way, and the idle people dodge as soon as possible, otherwise they will be punished as obstructing the execution of military affairs." ”

After the little girl pounced on the cat, she looked up and saw a high-speed rush on an iron armor, and she was immediately frightened and stayed where she was. The middle-aged man and woman were estimated to be the parents of the little girl, and the two threw her to the ground one after the other. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than ten steps.

Ten steps away, in an instant, Wu Ming was a hundred steps away, even if he wanted to save at this time, he was powerless. The crowd on both sides of the street had already let out an "ah", and even Esther turned her head with a scream, unable to bear to witness the tragic scene of a family of three being trampled. It's too late, it's too soon. At the last moment, the knight took his horse violently, and the horse was in pain, and let out a long neigh, and suddenly the man stood up. Time seemed to stand still, a man and a horse paused in the air, but in such a short moment, the mane on the horse's head swayed with the wind, and the strong hooves were even more like losing water, kicking in the air, the huge horse's head was deflected, and the whole body fell to the right side violently.
