Chapter 379: Exploring the Tower of London

"Yes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"I think you've seen him today, and it's not hard to see that he's a vain and imposing man, and that people like to be so possessive tend to have one thing in common. Whether it's people, things, or territory, as long as he takes a fancy to it, he will do everything he can to get it. ”

"You mean, he's eyeing my fleet?"

"That's right, I think the reason he offered to procure medicine for you was to drag you through London until a plan was made to swallow your fleet. You know, he has several sinister and cunning henchmen who are his right-hand men in ruling England. ”

After speaking, Edward looked at Zheng Fei worriedly and shrugged his shoulders.

After contemplating for a moment, Zheng Fei smiled lightly: "That's really interesting." ”

"Well, adventurers love excitement, but I advise you to leave London early, after all, this is England is the king's territory, not only are there a large number of Praetorian Guards stationed in the city, but there are also tens of thousands of elite troops on the outskirts of the city, and their combat effectiveness is no joke. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll arrange to leave as soon as possible, but only when it's done. Start preparing now, my fleet could set sail at any moment. ”

"Okay, I'll go and help you recruit artisans tomorrow, many of them have eaten with my two sons, and many of them should be willing to go. ”

"Thank you. Zheng Fei got up and nodded politely: "Then I'll go first, if you need contact or help, you can go to the dock to find me." ”

"Hmm. ”

Edward dropped him to the door, waved goodbye, and went upstairs to knock on his son's door.

Riding in a carriage and dressed in moonlight, through the sparsely populated streets, Zheng Fei and Santiago returned to the docks and boarded the flagship Victory.

Today, Santiago was unusually worried, standing side by side with Zheng Fei on the watchtower, he always frowned.

"I always felt like I was in danger. He stared at the dark sea, as if talking to himself.

"There is danger before there is gain. Zheng Fei replied casually, a little absent-mindedly.

He raised his head and stared at the night sky, as if he could feel a mission he had never felt before, and the mysterious summoning power from the distant Tower of London made his heart throb and linger.

"Go back to sleep, fatty. He patted Santiago on the shoulder.

The next morning.

The royal motorcade arrived early, and the king stood on the shore with a smile on his face, inviting Zheng Fei to enjoy the customs of London.

It is said to be appreciated, but in fact, it is just to better delay time.

Although Zheng Fei understood his thoughts, he readily agreed, took a group of Spartan warriors as escorts, and walked off the deck.

"Guests from afar, are you visiting London for the first time?"

"Well, sort of. ”

"Then you must want to check out the famous St Paul's Cathedral, or we can take a boat ride up the River Thames, upstream of which are large quality farms with many delicious lambs. ”

The king was eager to take Zheng Fei as far away as possible, to buy enough time for the conspiracy to brew.

"No, I just want to go to one place. Zheng Fei turned his head and fixed his gaze on the distant Thames River: "Tower of London." ”

Hearing this, the king moved, and a faint panic suddenly appeared in his eyes, which was fleeting.

"Well, there's nothing fun about that place. He forced a smile.

"But I don't have much interest in other places, I just want to go there. ”

"But it's just a prison now, a place for prisoners, and there's really nothing to see. ”

"Well, I can only regret that the procurement point is out of London. Zheng Fei shook his head helplessly.

Hearing that he was leaving, the king looked nervous and rolled his eyes.

"Since you're so determined, I'll take you there, but you have to promise me one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Lend me your fleet. ”

This rude request made Zheng Fei's smile freeze at the corner of his mouth for a moment, and he straightened his face and stared at the king's eyes expressionlessly.

Although the other party didn't show it too obviously, he could still vaguely feel the inflated ambition hidden under the king's pupils.

This king is definitely not as simple as it seems.

After a long confrontation, Zheng Fei's eyes became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

At this time, the king smiled and waved his hand: "Ha, just kidding, I just want you to accompany me to a place after visiting the Tower of London." ”

"Where are you going?" Zheng Fei said vigilantly.

"Shipyard, you have so many magnificent ships, I want you to give some advice to my royal designers. ”

"Oh~ That's okay. ”

"Alright, let's go to the Tower of London. The king said heartily, and with the support of the guards, he stepped into the luxurious royal carriage.

Half an hour later, the Tower of London.

The Tower of London, which sounds like a tower, is actually a complex of buildings.

The White Tower is the oldest building in the Tower of London, built by King William I of England in the 11th century.

William I, also known as "William the Conqueror", presided over one of the greatest chapters of the famous Norman Conquest: the conquest of the Kingdom of England.

His life was controversial, but his actions undoubtedly influenced the entire history of continental Europe and led to the birth of a new era, as the British Isles inevitably became more and more connected to the European continent since the Norman Conquest.

He was not a native of England, but he was the most important of all British monarchs, it was he who guided the fusion of English and French culture, and it was he who brought the advanced feudalism of the time into England, making the British government the most powerful government in the world at that time, never being invaded by foreign nations again, and constantly expanding overseas.

After the conquest of England, in order to suppress the locals and defend the city of London, he ordered the construction of the Tower of London centered on the White Tower, with a number of defensive buildings, which can be called a classic castle in the Middle Ages.

Due to its excellent security and defensive capabilities, the Tower of London has been used as a palace, fortress and prison by successive kings, and has imprisoned many princes, nobles and political figures in British history.

Standing in front of this white prison that exuded a mysterious atmosphere, Zheng Fei couldn't help but be in awe, scanning the Royal Guards guarding around it.

"I'm right, there's nothing to see here. The king spread his hands.

"Can you take me inside?"

"Of course you can, but you can't walk around with me, there are a lot of important prisoners in it, and there have been four robberies this year alone. ”

"You think I'm here to rob the prison?"

"It's not impossible. The king joked, subconsciously glancing at the dozens of Spartan warriors following behind Zheng Fei.

The posture of the warriors was full of rebellious and indifferent, which made the king have to pay more attention, otherwise, he could have imprisoned Zheng Fei in the Tower of London now.

"Come with me. The king withdrew his attention and smiled faintly. (To be continued.) )
