The king narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, nodded and gestured, and then took Zheng Fei to continue his visit to the "scenery" of the Tower of London. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Next, he introduced Zheng Fei to the prisoners one by one, including the brother of Henry VI and the prince who had committed treason.

"Please let me out, please, father! I know it's wrong!" the prince, who had been imprisoned for several years, had an ethereal look in his eyes, and when he saw the king's figure appear outside the cell, he immediately rushed over in a frenzy, grabbed the door frame with both hands and shouted in a dumb voice.

However, when the king saw his son, his expression could not be more indifferent, and he stared at him and sneered, and then turned away.

"Your Majesty, the prince has repented every day all these years, and it is clear that he is genuinely repentant, so would you consider pardoning him?" the guard officer pleaded.

The king stopped, glanced up at the guard officer and sneered, "When do I need you to help me make a decision?"

"I'm sorry!" the guard officer quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth in amusement.

There was a brief silence in the aisle, and the Praetorian Guards stole a look at the king with incredulous eyes, speculating on what the man's heart was made of.

Zheng Fei was not at all interested in the king's trivial family affairs, and at this time he stood by the window and looked out at the Thames with a calm attitude.

When the king saw that he was standing still, he leaned over and followed his gaze.

"Well, many artists say that the Thames is the most beautiful river in the world because it is a flowing history that has seen England grow up. ”

The River Thames, which runs through the centre of London, makes London one of the world's most important harbours, and its estuary across the North Sea from the mouth of the Rhine River on the European continent opens a direct shipping channel to Europe's richest regions.

This, combined with the fact that London is located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and Baltic Sea routes, makes it the most ideal commercial port in the region, which undoubtedly further contributes to the prosperity of London.

"Well, a great river. Zheng Fei replied slowly, frowning, thinking in his heart: What kind of secret is hidden in the Tower of London? That kind of shocking and mysterious calling power seems to be gradually weakening.

Thinking about it this way, turning right at the fork in the road should be its location.

However, according to the current situation, the king obviously will not let himself go there, so there is no point in wasting any more time visiting the Tower of London, it is better to leave early to arrange the next plan, and find an opportunity to sneak back and find out.

Thinking of this, he coughed lightly.

"Your Majesty, now I think you are right, the Tower of London is not interesting at all, and I do not want to continue visiting. ”

"Look, you've finally come to your senses. The king smiled happily: "Then let us out, this place is too rotten to stay long." ”

With that, he waved his hand and motioned for the Praetorian Guards to open the way ahead, not wanting to stop for a moment.

Passing by the prince's cell, the prince was still lying on the side of the door and clung to the railing, but he had already cried out hoarsely, put his face to the door in despair, and when he saw the king, he did not plead anymore, only deep resentment.

The king was unmoved, and without even looking at him, he strode away.

In this way, the group walked out of the Tower of London, and finally was able to breathe fresh air without peculiar smells.

The king claimed that there was something wrong and asked Zheng Fei to wait here for a while, while he called the leader of the Praetorian Guard guarding the tower to the open space on the side.

"Do you have any orders, Your Majesty?" said the leader, leaning over respectfully.

The king glanced at Zheng Fei in the distance from the corner of his eye, and whispered: "Do you see the person I brought today, remember not to let him come in a second time, and besides, I will send additional troops to the Tower of London, another three thousand Janissaries will be transferred tonight, and no one will be allowed to enter the tower without my permission!"

"Understood!"

The king patted him on the shoulder, smiled in satisfaction, and hurried back.

"Now, sir, come with me. He smiled at Zheng Fei.

"Where are you going?" Zheng Fei frowned.

"Forget it, you promised me to visit the shipyard with me after visiting the Tower of London, and give advice to the royal designers. ”

"Oh~ Okay, let's go. Zheng Fei readily agreed, not only to fulfill his promise, but also to take this opportunity to touch the bottom of the English Navy.

Riding in the royal carriage, they went to the shipyard far away in the suburbs.

"Take care of those precious crows. "Before leaving, the king gave an account to the crow officer.

The crows standing at the top of the castle neatly tilted their heads to stare at the mighty convoy and watched them go away.

......

After spending a whole afternoon at the shipyard, Zheng Fei finally returned to the dock, accompanied by Spartan warriors, and boarded the deck of the flagship Victory.

After an afternoon of investigation, he found that the shipbuilding industry in contemporary England was too lame, and the tonnage of warships was not comparable to that of the Mediterranean countries, so it was no wonder that the king was tempted by his own fleet.

Sitting in the cabin, drinking half a glass of wine and resting for a while, she gave Britney a big hug, and wanted to kiss it or roll the sheets, but Teresa suddenly pushed open the door and chatted with Britney, which was really embarrassing.

He smiled wryly, shrugged at the two beauties, and walked out with his glass in hand, strolling across the deck to admire the London sunset.

"Hey lad, do you see Santiago?" he asked, looking up, asking the sentry on the watchtower.

"Yes, Captain, as soon as you left in the afternoon, he took people to the city to buy medicine, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

"Oh~" Zheng Fei smiled lightly, Santiago actually learned to take the initiative to do things, which is gratifying.

Facing the crimson clouds that dotted the sky, he drank half a glass of wine, threw it into the Thames with a wave of his arms, and strode off the deck, ready to go to a place.

Half an hour later, he arrived at Duke Howard's estate.

The family already knew him, and without saying a word, he led him directly into the castle.

What is shown in front of me is Howard sitting on a wicker chair by the window, wearing glasses and reading a book seriously. The precious ornaments in the hall have been removed and packed into boxes, and they are about to leave with Zheng Fei's fleet.

Sensing that someone was coming in, Howard raised his head and saw that it was Zheng Fei, so excited that he hurriedly closed the book and stood up.

"Are you leaving?" he couldn't wait to start his adventure.

"No, I'm in trouble and need help from your two sons. Zheng Fei shook his head helplessly.

"My son?" Howard wondered, "They're just architects, can they help you?"

"I remember you said that they were the ones who commanded the last renovation of the Tower of London, right?"

"That's right, this is the greatest honor for our Howard family in recent years. You...... What does this do?"

"I need to get into the Tower of London. ”

"Then you can apply directly to the king, and he will agree. ”

"I wanted to enter the Tower of London without him knowing. (To be continued.) )
