Chapter 180: Star Riding Regiment

"Western Mission?" Chen Hanyu frowned, "Which country's mission?"

"More than one country. Lan Yiting shook his head, "I don't know much about the history of the West, it is said that there are more than ten countries over there, and they have formed some alliances with each other. He paused for a moment: "But the one I came into contact with recently should be a force that is outside those countries. ”

"Forces outside the state?" Chen Hanyu's brain began to quickly recall the knowledge of world history that he had learned before, "Religious forces, Christ or Islam?"

"Those people said they were members of the White Rock Union. Lan Yiting frowned as he spoke, "You seem to know some about their history?By the way, you once lived outside the island with the Blue-eyed Shark King of the Yue Sea God Sect, Ai Like, could it be that he told you this?"

Lan Yiting's question surprised Chen Hanyu, and he suddenly realized that he shouldn't reveal too much of what he had learned in later generations in this era. So he said a little vaguely, "Well, almost...... He's from over there, too......"

"White Stone Trade Union ......" Chen Hanyu silently recited this name in his heart, and suddenly his expression changed, "Freemasonry!

"Hanyu?" Lan Yiting Chen Hanyu had a different expression, and couldn't help shouting.

Chen Hanyu woke up suddenly: "I'm sorry, I thought of something just now." He then changed the subject: "Why are the people of the White Stone Union looking for you?"

"They want our six doors to help find out the whereabouts of the thieves. Lan Yiting said, "Hanyu, I'll tell you the truth, Six Doors already knows that you have dealt with He Wenxue, Lu Shiqi and others from the Thieves Gang. And the exercises on your body are actually inextricably linked to the thieves. This time, Lord God Catcher called you back, probably to ask you that question. ”

"What's the problem?" Chen Hanyu asked, since the six doors knew that they had contact with the people in the bandits, there was no need for them to hide it.

"The people of the White Rock Guild care a lot about that. Lan Yiting continued, "Mona Lisa." ”

"Meng ......" Chen Hanyu was completely blinded, why is this problem again, even if the famous European paintings fall to China, why do these people suspect that this matter has something to do with them.

"Hanyu, you listen to me first. Seeing that Chen Hanyu's face was cloudy, Lan Yiting hurriedly said again: "This time, I heard that the blue-eyed shark king of the Yue Sea God Sect, Ai Like, also appeared. And the identity he represents this time is the regent of a country called Great Britain in the West. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chen Hanyu was completely dizzy, what kind of thing is this! When did such a regent emerge in Britain, he had never heard of it at all.

But think about it, I have traveled to this Ming Dynasty, and it seems that there are many things that I have never heard of...... Well, not unusual, not at all.

"He said that painting had something to do with me?" Chen Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

"Don't think about it. Lan Yiting shook his head: "I haven't even seen him yet, but recently I suddenly heard that he appeared in the Central Plains again." ”

Chen Hanyu thought about it, and it had only been more than half a year since he was separated from Ai Like last time. Too many things have happened in the past six months, and Chen Hanyu even feels that this time has passed longer than the three years on the island.

And just when Chen Hanyu was thinking about this, suddenly his and Lan Yiting's expressions changed slightly, and they looked towards the garden gate at the same time. I saw a first-class catcher walk in and bow to the two: "My subordinates have seen two adults." ”

"Is there something wrong?" Lan Yiting asked directly.

"Lord God Catcher, please, the two adults, please go to the meeting room with the juniors. The catcher continued.

Chen Hanyu and Lan Yiting both nodded, and walked towards the six-door living room with the catcher. Turning a corner, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind Chen Hanyu: "Lord Chen!"

Chen Hanyu hurriedly turned around, also with a look of surprise: "Naming, why are you here?"

Of course, Chen Hanyu didn't remember that he had just returned to the Central Plains at that time, and it was Na Ming who told him about the Golden Lock Soft Sword and the Legend of the Golden Key. Now that he saw a familiar person again, Chen Hanyu was naturally overjoyed: "Superb medium-grade, it seems that you have also made a breakthrough during this time." ”

"It's thanks to Miao-sama. Na Ming also bowed to Lan Yiting as he spoke.

Chen Hanyu didn't know what Na Ming's words meant, the eighth layer wanted to say that his breakthrough in the realm had a lot to do with the East Gate Catching Saint Miao Ice Lotus. However, Na Ming did not entangle the relationship with Chen Hanyu at this time, but urged: "Na Ming will not bother the two adults, Lord God Catcher has an invitation, but it cannot be delayed." ”

Since Na Ming said so, of course Chen Hanyu would not stay here again. He and Lan Yiting quickly rushed to the living room, and when they entered the door, Chen Hanyu had already seen that there were many people sitting in the living room.

Among them, the god of catching Ou Xintong sat in the top position. There are seven chairs side by side on the left, corresponding to the six major catchers of the six doors and the new patrol envoy Chen Hanyu. The East Gate Catches Saint Miao Binglian, the South Gate Catches Saint Nie Shangxing and the North Gate Catches Saint Su Yuqing are already seated, and the positions of the Earth Gate Catcher Saint Yinxian Dust and the West Gate Catch Saint Jiangchengpu are still vacant. There are three chairs on the side of the seven chairs, and the person sitting on them Chen Hanyu doesn't know, but looking at the clothes, it seems that they are court officials and Jinyi Guard.

As for the chair on the right, with the knowledge that Chen Hanyu learned in later life, it is easy to see that these people are all from Europe. After all, their skin color and clothing are very different from those in the Central Plains.

The seats of these men were divided into three parts, and in the front row sat two people, one of whom was richly dressed, wearing a crown and holding a silver rod, and his status was not low, and from the cross on his chest it was evident that this man was of Christianity or Catholicism, and perhaps a bishop or something. Beside him sat a warrior in dark gold chain mail, apparently the bishop's bodyguard. This person's breath was calm, his face was grim, although he had never moved, but Chen Hanyu judged from the aura emanating from his body that this person estimated that he had a quasi-peerless realm.

In the row behind the two, there was probably also a religious figure. Chen Hanyu couldn't tell which religion he was, but judging from his temperament, this person's strength should be no less than that of the guard warrior in the front row. And the two people sitting in the last row made Chen Hanyu's eyes shine. Judging from the armor on their bodies, these two men should be the European medieval knights described in the book. One of them was blonde and white-skinned, with a strong body, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and his whole person exuded a fierce momentum. The other person had slightly yellow skin, a little thinner than the previous one, short and white hair, and a slight soft color in his eyes, seeing Chen Hanyu and them coming in, this person also glanced over here, and then smiled: "Oh? Your eastern country is really interesting, such a young child can take on such an important position?"

"Your Excellency, don't underestimate these young people. After Miao Binglian heard the knight's words, she smiled slightly and said, "On our side, a young man like this can already handle some very tricky things. ”

"Oh, is it?" said the knight who had just spoken, "I have long heard that the East is a place where there are many talents, and today is an eye-opener. ”

The knight said just two words, and for some time afterward, no one in the parlor spoke. It wasn't until the other two Saint Catchers had also arrived that Ou Xintong stood up and said loudly: "The purpose of inviting you here today must have been guessed. He said as he looked at the Europeans, who also stood up, "Emissaries from Europe, please introduce yourselves. ”

After Ou Xintong's words fell, the person in the front row, who seemed to be a bishop, first drew a cross on his chest, then looked at the people in the left row, and said: "Friends of the East, please forgive me for calling you that. I am Bishop Shane of the Catholic Seminary Church, and next to me is the Knight Chief of the Divine Guard, Knight Mason. He introduced himself very succinctly, and even said the name of the master guard beside him.

"Catholic friends?" said the only woman in the six gates of the six gates and the six saints, "I have been looking up for a long time." I heard that Catholicism is a famous religion in the West, and we people here do not understand Western etiquette, so please bear with me. ”

"It's okay, may the Lord bless you, my friend. Bishop Shane said politely.

"My name is Udo, an elder from the European White Stone Union. After introducing himself, the religious figure in the second row reverently prayed, "Lord, please bless me to fulfill my mission here." ”

Listening to Wu Duo's self-introduction, Chen Hanyu secretly thought in his heart: "It turned out to be an elder of the Freemasonry. Yes, at this time, the Freemasonry should have only been established for a short time, and its power was still relatively weak, so an elder was directly sent over. ”

After the first two rows of people were introduced, everyone naturally turned their attention to the last row.

"The Star Riders under the starry sky. The middle-aged man with blonde hair and white skin in the last row elegantly stretched out his right hand, "I'm the war gun Westminster Landa." ”

"Sun Sword Alphonsh, please advise. Another gray-haired middle-aged man with yellowish skin bowed to everyone.

The introduction of these two people made Chen Hanyu a little confused: "What kind of force is that?"

"The Star Riders are an organization that we Europeans set up spontaneously. Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Bishop Shane couldn't help but introduce, "There are twelve of them, and each of these twelve will be guided by a presiding god to maintain the unity of the European continent. ”

"Doesn't it belong to any country?" Chen Hanyu couldn't help asking.

"Every knight of the Star Riders has their own country. "But they don't just serve their country. ”

"If you don't serve your country, how can you do it?" spoke up to a court official sitting on the left, judging by the clothing of the Ming Dynasty officials, this person was wearing a bird costume and should be a civil official. However, a civil official is a civil official, but Chen Hanyu feels that this person has profound internal strength, and he should be a top-notch master.

"Deputy Factory Worker Jiang, is it possible that the personnel of your East Factory will be for the sake of the emperor?" said another person sitting next to this person in the uniform of a beast military attachΓ©.

This person's words can be regarded as revealing the identity of the person in front of him, and it turns out that that person is Jiang Yuzhou, the deputy palm seal envoy of Dongchang. In addition to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty's secret services, the name of the East Factory is also like thunder. Judging from what Chen Hanyu has learned now, because of the excessive centralization of power, the Ming Dynasty had many power institutions in the court to monitor civil and military officials. And when Chen Hanyu became a member of the Six Doors in this era, he learned that the power of the East Factory was even above the Six Doors.

As for the person who spoke just now to exclude Jiang Yuzhou, it was inferred based on their similar identities, and this person should be Diao Ye, the deputy palm seal envoy of the West Factory. Although Chen Hanyu, the leader of the two factories of this thing, had heard the name before, he had no real person. Moreover, he didn't know much about the internal officials of the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't recognize the identities of the two at first.

Another problem is that Chen Hanyu learned from some modern history books that the period he is in now, that is, the reign of Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, was the most chaotic time for factory affairs. In addition to the East and West Factories, there seems to be a thing called the Insider Factory. This insider factory should be under the direct jurisdiction of Liu Jin, and there are some messy settings in it, and Chen Hanyu is also unaware. However, one thing is certain, this insider factory is definitely an unpopular organization, and it can be seen from the meeting held by the six doors that Jinyiwei and the East and West factories are all present, but there are no people from the insider factory.

"Are you waiting here to be noisy and shouting, but you still have to care about the face of the court?" a cold snort suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

Listening to this voice, Chen Hanyu could guess who was speaking even if he didn't look up. Dare to speak to the deputy leaders of the East and West factories like this, there is only one kind of person in this place - Jinyiwei.

This brocade guard is wearing a flying fish suit, and the flying fish suit is the representative of the brocade guard, which is easy to recognize.

And the anger of this brocade guard is also easy to understand, originally, in front of outsiders, the imperial court naturally wants to show its glorious side. The small actions that are done behind the scenes on weekdays should be put away, so as not to be looked down upon by outsiders.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Bishop Shane hurriedly came out to play a round: "Well, friends from the East, we are here this time, there are important things to solve. Can you put aside some of your personal grievances first?" he understood the dispute between Jinyiwei and the East and West factories as a personal grievance.

Seeing that the guests had all come out to play the round, Ou Xintong also said: "Bishop Shane is reasonable, I have summoned everyone to come here today, and I really have an important matter to discuss with you. ”

"Lord Ou, please speak. This brocade guard knew that he was a little rude just now, so he couldn't help but leave the topic to Ou Xintong and find a step for himself.

Ou Xintong nodded, his gaze swept over the several saint catchers in the six gates: "I think everyone still remembers that five years ago, a disciple of the Yao Gang named Han Yun stole a famous painting from Europe. ”
