Chapter 216: The Darkest Hour of a Beauty

Tang Zhangwei finished eating the cheese, and while reminiscing about the taste of cheese, he turned into a melon-eating crowd and watched how Tang Xizong dealt with this tricky matter. β– Miscellaneous & Chi & Wormβ– 

Of course, Tang Xizong wanted to send someone to arrest the five beauties back, but those five beauties were the eight beauties who ate the scales, and they just didn't go back.

Li Maozhen has already led troops to surround the Red Cloud Pavilion, but the five beauties would rather die than die in the Red Cloud Pavilion.

Wei Wan'er asked Tang Zhangwei: "Aren't you going to break your wrist with Tang Xizong?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "In such a matter, it is not good to wrestle with Tang Xizong. ”

Wei Wan'er said: "I have a way to not damage the reputation of the general, but also to make Tang Xizong disgusting." ”

Tang Zhangwei was very interested and said, "You said to come and hear it?" ”

Wei Wan'er said: "Then you have to use Yan Ling, it depends on whether you are reluctant to give it up." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "You talk about your method first, and then I will make a decision." ”

Wei Wan'er leaned down to Tang Zhangwei's ear and said it like this.

Tang Zhangwei patted his leg and said, "Okay, just follow your plan." ”

When we reach the equator of which you speak," asked Sancho, "how far shall we go?" ”

"It's a long way off," said Don Quixote, "because according to the calculations of Ptolemy, the greatest known cosmologist, the earth has three hundred and sixty degrees of water, and land." As soon as we get to the line I'm talking about, we're halfway there. ”

"God willing," said Sancho, "what a man you are quoting! I really don't know what nails and garlic and what honey to add and so on. ”

Don Quixote couldn't help but laugh when he heard Sancho get the cosmologist, the calculations, and the Ptolemy wrong. He said to Sancho:

"You have probably heard that Sancho, the Spaniard, or the man who came on board from Cadiz to the East Indies, one of the ways to know whether he had crossed the equator line which I told you just now was to see if all the lice on the ship were dead. As soon as the ship crosses the equator line, you will exchange it for gold, and the whole ship will not find a single live lice. So Sancho, you can reach out and touch your leg. If we touch something alive, we'll figure it out. If you don't touch anything alive, you've crossed the equator line. ”

"I don't believe it," said Sancho, "but even so, I do as you say, though I don't know what the need for such an experiment." In my own eyes, we were not far from the shore, and close to the place where the cattle were tethered, and Rosinendo and the donkey were still in place. Looking at it this way, I swear we're walking as slowly as ants. ”

"You do as I say, Sancho, and don't worry about anything else. You don't know what it means to be a dichotomy and a solstice, a meridian, a parallel, a zodiac, a polar region, a solstice, a equinox, a planet, a celestial symbol, an azimuth, an equinox, and so on, these things make up the celestial bodies and the earth. If you understand these things, or only part of them, you can know what latitude we are on, what zodiac we are now, what constellations we have passed through, and what constellations we will pass through below. I repeat, if you touch yourself, I reckon you must be cleaner than a blank sheet of paper by now. ”

Sancho touched it with his hand, and gradually touched the socket of his left knee. He raised his head, looked at his master and said:

"I'm afraid this experience is fake, or it's still far from the place you said it was."

"What's going on?" Don Quixote asked, "What did you touch?" ”

"More than a little!" Sancho said.

Sancho shook his fingers and put his whole hand into the river to wash. The boat drifted smoothly forward with the river, without any mysterious magic or hidden magician pushing it secretly, only the gentle flow of the river.

That's when they noticed several tall water mills ahead. As soon as Don Quixote saw the water mill, he said to Sancho in a loud voice:

"Did you see that, friend? There was a city, castle, or fortress ahead, and the besieged knight or the fallen queen, princess, or princess must have been there, and I had been summoned here to rescue them. ”

"What the hell are you talking about a city, castle, or fortress, sir?" Sancho said, "Don't you see that it's just a water mill for wheat? ”

"Shut up, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "even if they resemble water mills, they are not water mills at all. Didn't I say that magic can change anything to its original appearance. Not to really change them, but to make them look like something, for example, my only hope is that Dulcinea is changed. ”

As they spoke, the boat had entered the main stream of the river, and was not as slow as it had just gone. The workers in the mill saw a small boat coming down the river, and when they saw that it was about to crash into the water wheel, they hurriedly took up their long poles and came out to stop the boat. They had flour on their faces and clothes, so they looked weird. They shouted:

"Hell yes! Where are you going? Don't want to live anymore? What do you want to do? Do you want to fall into the river and drown? Will it be smashed to pieces again? ”

"Didn't I say that, Sancho," said Don Quixote, "that we have reached a place where I can show my skills!" You see, the demons and monsters have come out. There are a lot of monsters against us, and they are all so ugly...... Well, then come on, you bastards! ”

Don Quixote got up from the ship and shouted at the mill workers:

"You scoundrels, you scoundrels, release out the people who are locked up in your fortress or prison, whether they are high or low, whoever they are, I am Don Quixote of Mancha, also known as Lion Knight. I have been ordained by Heaven to come out of this crisis. ”

With that, he drew his sword and swung it at the mill workers. The mill workers listened to Don Quixote's shouting, but did not understand what he meant, and only used their long poles to stop the boat. At this point, the boat is about to enter the rapids under the wheel.

Sancho fell to his knees and begged God to deliver him from this imminent danger. Thanks to the quick hands of the mill workers, they stopped their boat with long poles. The boat was stopped, but it capsized, and both Don Quixote and Sancho fell into the water. Don Quixote was lucky, he could swim, but the armor on his body was so heavy that it dragged him twice to the bottom of the river. If it weren't for the mill workers jumping into the river and scooping them both up, it would have been bad. The two of them went ashore, soaking wet from top to bottom, and this time they were not thirsty. Sancho knelt on the ground, put his hands together and his eyes to the sky, and prayed earnestly for a long time, asking God to bless him from the whims and audacity of his master.
