Chapter Ninety-Three: Santos Manor
With the addition of two sailors, there were eight of them in all, and they went down in two batches, taking into account the limits of the ropes.
The cable is at an angle of 30 degrees, and even if four people grasp the cable with their hands together, it is estimated that if they slide down like this, it is estimated that they will fall lightly.
Ingeniously, Jims's son actually made a device on this cable car, which can be controlled by guò, which can effectively control the speed of zhì sliding.
Ask yourself, Zheng Fei may not be able to do it himself, this young man is a natural engineer.
Sitting on the cable car, looking at the desolate land under their feet, they felt that the scenery was actually quite beautiful, at least the gentle breeze was very comfortable on their cheeks.
Jims touched his son's head and said, "Da, how have you lived these years?"
"Make some gadgets and sell them, and you can earn a few silver coins a month. The boy replied with a grin.
"Oh~ You still like to make small things with your hands, go and learn more from Teacher Herman. ”
"He can't teach me anything anymore. The boy looked a little smug, but he said it very seriously.
Jims laughed and said, "That's my son, Da Vinci like no other!"
Hearing this, Zheng Fei, who had always been steady, couldn't help but tremble, turned his head to stare at the young man's smart eyes, and unconsciously, the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile arc.
Who was Leonardo da Vinci, a painter? Yes, he was a painter, and his amazing work "Mona Lisa" made him famous all over the world.
However, being a painter was only one of his professions.
Leonardo da Vinci, born in 1452, was a genius scientist, inventor, and painter of the European Renaissance.
Albert Einstein once said that if Da Vinci's scientific research results were all published at that time, the level of science and technology could be advanced by 30~50 years.
Leonardo da Vinci also has an identity as a military engineer, which is particularly important to Zheng Fei.
And now, the young Leonardo da Vinci is standing in front of him, this giant who cannot be described with all words against the sky such as genius and ghost, he has accepted.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his nose and smile.
Seeing the captain suddenly smile mysteriously, Hans was puzzled and said, "Captain, you don't need to be so happy if you just escape from prison, right?"
"I'm glad I want you to take care of it!" he said with a smile, looking up at the sky, where two eagles were still hovering in the sky, as if wondering where the cable car, this huge strange-looking bird, came from.
Five minutes later, it landed.
The moment their feet hit the ground, everyone thought of one thing almost at the same time - there were four people on the edge of the cliff, how to get this cable car back?
At this time, Leonardo da Vinci once again refreshed their perception of genius.
He activated another device in the cable car, so that the cable car was tightly stuck on the rope, as mentioned earlier, there were two strands of rope, and the fixed end on the ground was an iron ring, and the people on the cliff only needed to untie the rope tied to the root of the tree and tie it together, pull one of them and pull it up, and then pull the cable car back.
About ten minutes later, the second group of people also landed safely, and the noise from the prison in the distance gradually subsided.
Zheng Fei stared at the fortress and was silent for two seconds, as if saying to himself, "Have they been killed?"
"Hopefully they've surrendered. Juan replied, a hint of sadness in his eyes, for there were his loyal henchmen in the group, and he had to leave them behind in order to survive.
"Okay, don't think about it, let's plan the next step. Zheng Fei adjusted his feelings and said.
It would take at least two hours to get from this desolate mountain range to the port, and in such a long time, the Portuguese army would have already blocked the streets and searched for Zheng Fei throughout the city.
The person who is going to be hanged by the English royal family has run away, and when it comes to diplomacy, no one can afford to take this responsibility, and it may bring the two countries, which have a poor relationship, to the point of going to war.
So if you go to the city now is tantamount to looking for death, and it's useless to put on makeup, let alone in Lisbon, even if it's the whole of Western Europe, I'm afraid he's just an Oriental.
The best thing to do is to find a place to take shelter from the limelight, which must be absolutely safe and not in the city.
Where to go? Santos Manor, Britney's home, of course.
Located on the north side of Lisbon, the Santos estate is home to the Duke's Santos family, with vineyards and wineries and even small rivers and hills, covering an area no less than the imperial gardens of the Ming emperors.
It was very close to Santos Manor, and they walked for less than half an hour before arriving at the manor, which was surrounded by green vegetation and the scenery was particularly beautiful.
The spacious boulevard has some shadows of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
The rest of the people hid in the bushes first, and Zheng Fei came to the gate alone, and looked inside through the iron fence.
A good-looking maid was weeding in the flower bed, and when she looked up to wipe her sweat, she saw him and called, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
"Does Britney live here?"
"Oh~ find our Miss Britney. The maid smiled, thinking that she was probably the suitor who came to the door again.
She put down the tool in her hand, patted the dirt, and walked over with a smile, and when she saw his oriental face, she couldn't help but pout.
"Please come with me, young lady has been waiting for you for days!" she opened the door directly, and led him deeper into the manor.
The rest of the people watched in the grass, looking at each other.
"I say, Hans, the captain won't leave us alone, will he?"
"Why, he's going to come back, Grant, what are you thinking in a daze?"
Grant blinked and said, "That pretty maid has a pretty butt and a good butt, and the captain must be able to have a good time." ”
"Poof"
In the manor, the trees are shady, and the air is filled with a faint, certain floral fragrance, which smells very good.
After passing through the flower beds, walking the paths, and crossing a small river, a castle stood in front of you.
The maid stopped, made a shushing gesture to Zheng Fei, and said, "After entering, move lightly, don't wake up the hostess." ”
"Is the Duke here?"
"No, I heard that someone escaped from prison not long ago, and the Duke went to deal with it. ”
"Oh~ That's good. ”
"Huh?"
"Nothing, where is Britney?"
"The sixth room on the right on the second floor is Miss Britney's bedroom, and she stands at the window every day and looks out, saying that she is waiting for someone who can give her a rainbow, right?"
"It's me. Zheng Fei said with a smile, gently pushing open the half-hidden castle gate.
[Thank you reader for the prompt of the "tactical monkey", the monkey said that da Vinci was a rare talent of that era, and it was best to accept it, and it was also a coincidence that I searched for the information of Leonardo da Vinci, which was a little older than Columbus, and it happened to be right with this teenager ~ If you have any good mentions, welcome to speak enthusiastically~]
