I have to say that although this meal is not very happy, but the taste is still quite good, Zhang Tianyuan originally thought that the British could not eat anything without potatoes and fried chicken, but here he found that this is not the case.

The Langham, London's outstanding restaurants take diners to a new realm of dining. Drawing on the more than 140-year tradition of The Langham, London, the hotel's chefs create unique dishes with the finest ingredients and wines from around the world.

Not only can you eat French food, but you can also eat delicious Chinese food, and you can say that the chef here can make it for you if you want.

Of course, these delicacies are worth a lot of money, but for Zhang Tianyuan today, one or two thousand pounds for a meal is really nothing, he is a person who can afford to buy the world's most expensive private jet, and he can't be too picky on everything, that's not good.

After eating, Zhang Tianyuan and Liu Mengxun went to take a sauna again, this high-end sauna actually feels no different from an ordinary sauna, that is, the service is much better, and there is a private room that allows you to enjoy it alone.

The sauna not only washed away the dust of their bodies, but also washed away their fatigue and worries.

This night, Liu Mengxun and Zhang Tianyuan slept very comfortably, of course, so that they could have a good visit to London the next day.

Although it was still cloudy in the morning, it didn't rain, Zhang Tianyuan and Liu Mengxun took a car, and then Lancelot, who was invited by Snake Lin, was used as a guide to lead them to visit the city of London.

Lancelot is a smart guy, and the first thing he saw when he saw Zhang Tianyuan was the boss who opened his mouth and closed his mouth. He also said a lot of sensual words, such as "Dear boss, I have been waiting for your arrival." This is the meeting of fate, it is God's arrangement" and so on, anyway, Zhang Tianyuan's eyebrows jumped when he heard it.

If only it were another country, this is a corrupt country!

Many people may not understand what it means to be corrupted, so look it up in the dictionary yourself, it's inconvenient to say it here.

It was still the snake lin who drove the car, and the blue phoenix did not follow. Zhanfei was also not there, these two people were sent to do business, although Zhanfei felt a little regretful about this. He originally wanted to follow Zhang Tianyuan to visit the city of London, but the problem is that he doesn't understand the traffic rules in Europe, and he doesn't have a European driver's license, so it would be miserable if he was caught by the traffic police. I had no choice but to take over the snake to get down to business.

They had just left the hotel. I saw a lot of people standing on the street outside, and even some people even climbed on the roof, they were wearing blue jerseys, although Zhang Tianyuan didn't often watch football, but he also knew that it looked like the jersey of a football club called Chelsea.

"No, how can the Chelsea fans line up to welcome us?" Liu Mengxun asked in surprise.

"Girl, you play stupid with me!" Zhang Tianyuan smiled and flicked on Liu Mengxun's head.

Liu Mengxun grinned and said, "I really don't know." ”

"Boss, ma'am. Actually, it's a parade to celebrate after Chelsea's league win, so their fans are waiting here. Would you like to stay and watch the excitement?" asked Lancelot, turning around.

"No, anyway, I'm also one of the owners of the Liverpool club, by the way, how has Liverpool been this season?"

"It turns out that you are the mysterious owner of Liverpool, I really didn't expect that Liverpool had a good season this season, ranked fourth in the league, qualified for the right to compete for the Champions League, and won the FA Cup, and the Europa League also broke into the semi-finals, but I was not lucky and was eliminated. Lancelot replied.

"How is it compared to before?"

"Well, don't you know? This season the team has undergone a big change, and the new manager is Carlo Ancelotti, who will definitely bring good results. ”

"Ahem, I don't care too much about football, I will make up for it in the future. By the way, let's go around, don't disturb the celebrations, you can decide where to go first, I'm not very familiar with London. Zhang Tianyuan handed over his trip to London to Lancelot to take care of.

The first stop Lancelot took Zhang Tianyuan to was the Tower of London, anyway, it was his own car, and he didn't deliberately arrange a place to travel, but where the traffic was more convenient and there was no traffic jam, he went there, so the first stop was the Tower of London.

The Tower of London was built in 1087 by William I to suppress the locals and defend the city of London, which lasted for 20 years and can be called a classic castle of the British Middle Ages. In the thirteenth century, thirteen towers were added to its perimeter, forming a ring of arched acropolis, making the Tower of London both a fortified barracks castle and a palatial palace, with observatories, prisons, churches, execution grounds, zoos, small docks and other small buildings.

The most important and oldest building in the Tower of London is the Normandy Tower in the center of the fortress, which is the main body of the entire complex, because it is made of milky white stones, and is historically known as the White Tower.

The White Pagoda, where the master lived and garrisoned the troops, was the most fortified, and in a way symbolized the growing power of William the Conqueror. The building is 32.6 meters high, divided into three floors, the thickness of the wall is different, from three to four meters to four to six meters, the double wall, the window opening is very small, the doors and windows are separated by white stones, its top is in the shape of a pheasant, the four corners of the tower rise out of four high towers, three sides and one circle, there is a spiral staircase at the corner of the corner, leading to the top floor.

Standing at the bottom of the base of the tower, looking up at this mysterious and ancient tower, it will always give people the feeling of traveling back to the Middle Ages, as one of the world cultural heritage, the significance of this tower in the British royal palace is very important, as a well-defended fortress and palace, generations of British kings have lived here, and it has become a custom for the king to live in the Tower of London before the coronation.

The Tower of London is also a famous prison where many princes, nobles and political figures have been imprisoned in British history. In addition, the ancient Tower of London has historically served as a mint, observatory, zoo and more.

Later it became a place of palace intrigue and royal struggle. The two youngest sons of King Edward IV, the king before Edward, and his cousin and younger brother. The two queens of Henry VIII were imprisoned here and put to death. For a long time, the Tower of London became a creepy "death prison".

Interestingly. Recently, a TV series "A Song of Ice and Fire", which has become very popular on the Internet, has a lot of things based on this Tower of London.

Of course, there are no more prisoners in the modern Tower of London, only the ravens who have lived here since the 13th century have not yet moved. Legend has it that if the ravens left here, the tower would fall and the dynasty would fall. As a result, these ravens have become the most pampered guests for generations.

Among all the buildings in the Tower of London, Zhang Tianyuan likes it the most. Of course, the most interesting thing is the Treasure Hall.

The Treasure Hall is one of the most attractive, with a full set of royal treasures on display there.

In March 1994, a brand new treasure hall on the ground floor of Waterloo was opened by Queen Elizabeth II. The jewellery is displayed in bright glass cases in a series of exhibition rooms. Visitors take a slow walk through the automatic passageway. A huge screen above the glass case shows a panoramic view of the history of these jewels and their role in the coronation.

The coronation dates back to the time of King Edward the Confessor of England, and visitors can see the jewels of Queen Elizabeth's coronation from the time of the restoration of Charles II in 1660 AD or later. In the 1650s, the Puritans of Oliver Cromwell's short-lived regime disdained the glittering ornaments of the monarch and sold the imperial treasures of the Middle Ages. Some survived. Eventually returned to the royal family's collection.

The royal scepter, the horn and the sword are displayed in order, the jeweled sword presented by the archbishop to the monarch, and the oldest of the royal treasures. Medieval gold oil bottles and spoons used by monarchs to anoint holy oil, coronation robes, crowns, scepters and balls topped with crosses, among which Edward's golden crown of Charles II's zuò is still used in authorisation ceremonies, and a royal crown made for Queen Victoria with precious stones, worn at parliaments, etc.

Also on the lower cross of the crown are the large rubies of the Black Prince, who loved the helmet worn by Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 AD, and the sapphires of the Stuart royal family, with the cross at the top shining with sapphires from the ring of Edward the Confessor himself. On the royal scepter, the world's largest diamond, the Star of Africa, sparkles.

"Hey. Husband, you don't want to steal these things, do you?" saw Zhang Tianyuan's eyes staring at these treasures without blinking. Liu Mengxun reminded him with some worry: "Although this is no longer a prison, I am afraid that as soon as you make a move, you will be arrested and live in a British prison permanently." ”

"Haha, how is that possible. Zhang Tianyuan smiled awkwardly, not to mention, after seeing these treasures, especially the African Star, Zhang Tianyuan really had to be a flying thief for a while.

The British can take things from China, in the name of protection, so taking them from the hands of the British, it can also be said to be protection, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

However, Liu Mengxun is right, the security system of this treasure hall is very good, otherwise, so many treasures are estimated to have been targeted by the flying thieves a long time ago, and they can still be preserved until now?

Anyway, Zhang Tianyuan thinks that the security work here is even stricter than that of the British Museum.

"Mengmeng, do you know who the last person to die in Greentower was?" Zhang Tianyuan and Liu Mengxun suddenly asked when they walked around Greenta.

People with a little knowledge like to show off their knowledge, and Zhang Tianyuan seems to be no exception.

"Don't test me, knowing I'm not good at it. Liu Mengxun smiled bitterly.

"The last to die here was Queen Elizabeth's Merry Knight, the Earl of Essex, who peeped into the throne. Zhang Tianyuan replied: "I said a while ago that this aristocratic circle is very chaotic. Several of them were beheaded and executed, and the culprit was adultery!"

"I've heard of this, but court life in the ancient Middle Ages was quite chaotic. Liu Mengxun nodded and said, "I've read some books on this subject, and they all have similar descriptions.

"Yes, now, only the plump, slick ravens stride over the Glinta, which has seen so much blood and suffering, and the wind sighs among the tall plane trees. Legend has it that once the eight carefully guarded ravens were gone, the tower would also collapse. I don't know if it's true, but probably no one will believe it. ”

Time flies, but the building is still the same. This ancient castle full of sorrow and blood shows the world that history is merciless, it is a drop of waves in the process of Western civilization, but it has left an indelible page in the long history of mankind. (To be continued......)
