Chapter 211: Not Prince Charming
āā¦ā¦ Brother Ka, I can see it, the dragon and phoenix in this person are dragons and phoenixes everywhere they go, no matter how much the beast is a beast, my clothes are made for nothing, a good horse money! "As soon as Hong Tao, Jiang Zhuyi, and Hong Salamander appeared, no matter whether they had seen the clothing style or not, the effect was really stylish. Regardless of the appearance, the size of the pair of Guang Hongtao and Jiang Zhuyi is enough for the standard of the clothes rack, an inverted triangle with wide shoulders and a big fan, and a regular triangle like a trumpet flower with a large breast and thin waist, the visual effect is very good, so good that Luo Youde is already depressed. His silk shirt is indeed good, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Hong Tao's clothes look tall, neat, and heroic.
"IāI have clothes like this...... I did it when I was in Cape Town...... Send a message to the Malacca and ask the first mate to send me the clothes in my box to shore! Not only was Luo Youde's eyes red, but Carl also felt that he was dwarfed by Hong Tao. He felt that the problem was in his clothes, and there was still a chance to make amends, so he raised his head and shouted at the flagbearer on the lookout.
"Cut, even if you put on dragon skin, it's useless, this is called temperament, understand? Inner beauty! Hong Tao was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and waved at the sailors on the deck and mast, and then took Jiang Zhuyi's arm and slowly walked to the side of the ship. Why do you walk so slowly? It's really not that Hong Tao wants to stink, but Jiang Zhuyi is not very comfortable with high heels. The heel of this new pair of shoes is particularly high, and it is easy to break your foot when you walk fast.
"Mrs. Jiang, can I dance the first dance with you tonight?" Carl felt that what Hong Tao said was very reasonable, temperament is a thing, and nothing can be improved by wearing anything. Hong Tao really has that kind of Lao Tzu's best energy in the world. Don't use clothes to set it off. It can also be expressed all the time in everyday life. Wearing this outfit is just a little more obvious. Carl thought that he couldn't fight Hong Tao, and he didn't dare to fight, so he could only retreat to the second, wanting to get some confidence in Jiang Zhuyi to come back.
"This is not in line with etiquette, the first dance should obviously be your cousin to invite Mrs. Jiang to dance! Well, of course, I'm inviting the queen to jump, why should you go! Alas. Don't be stunned, you said that with your brain, when will you become the captain of the ship, I am worried about you. What are you silly about, put the crane, do you think I can still climb the rope net if I dress like this? Bad luck! There are also five boxes in the captain's room, which are to be carried on board together! Although Hong Tao has never been to the real European court, he has seen too many scenes of the dance party on TV and movies, and he has fooled people. Before Carl could react, the navigator who was watching Jiang Zhuyi's white chest and swallowing saliva became the target of Hong Tao's attack.
Since you have to go ashore. I have to go to the Holy Roman Palace as a guest, so Hong Tao doesn't plan to make do. You can't go secretly, you have to go with great fanfare and scenery. For this reason, he has prepared Jiang Zhuyi, Hong Salamander and the clothes he has changed these days, as well as cosmetics, gifts, daily life utensils, and a crossbow that he carries with him. As for the entourage, they did not bring any of them, and there was no servant on board, and it was very unreliable for the sailors to serve themselves, and they could not take care of their own lives, and if they did not do well, they would have to take care of their daily life in turn. There is no need to consider the safety issue, the dozens of cannons on these two ships and the dozens of tons of big iron balls in the cabin are better than any martial arts master. Deterrence can sometimes solve a lot of problems, and it is estimated that Karl and his cousin have more or less mentioned the destructive capabilities of these two ships, and if they don't want to turn the northern shore of the Mediterranean into a sea of fire, then they have to protect the safety of the four of them as much as they protect their eyeballs.
Before the two dinghys had landed, Hong Tao saw a group of strangely dressed royal guards on the shore. There were not too many of them, forty or fifty people, but the line was very neat, and I don't know if they had been standing like this with their horses, or if they had temporarily reassembled when they saw the dinghy return. said that people were dressed strangely, mainly because Hong Tao and a few of them had never seen a person with a chain mail and a bucket on his head, especially the little Hong Salamander, she should be very scared in her heart, if it wasn't for her father's big hand, the little girl would probably have to cry in fear.
The completely metallic chain mail stretched from hood to foot, leaving only one face, which was terrifying, and looked like a humanoid machine. Like Carl, these people wore a long coat over the chain mail, which was also covered with large and small badges, but the graphics of the badges looked a little different. Unlike Karl, they not only boasted short swords on their waists, but also carried a spear in their hands. It seems that it can no longer be said that it is a spear, that thing is too long, according to the habits of the Chinese, it should be called a spear, it is estimated that this is the riding spear of European knights.
Everything went well, and after going ashore, the leader of the group of royal knights gave Hong Tao a salute, but his two eyes were always staring at Jiang Zhuyi. It's not that he has bad intentions, everyone on the dock is basically like this, Jiang Zhuyi's huge skirt is really catchy. But in the end, something went wrong, and the dignified emperor didn't send a car to pick up people, only a few horses. According to Karl, the empire had carriages, but they were for barrels and forage, and no aristocratic woman was willing to ride them except for peasant women, they were all on horseback.
"Yes, it was my mistake...... But it's okay, come on, I'll take you to His Majesty the Emperor. If you're worried about my riding skills, you can choose one of them. Hong Tao believes that Carl didn't mean to be difficult for himself, if you don't have a car, you don't have a car, you can ride a horse! As for the problem that Jiang Zhuyi is not very good at riding horses, and the skirt she wears cannot ride a horse, Hong Tao easily solved it with his own arm.
Following a stone-paved road, the caravan headed for the royal palace in the city. Dozens of knights were divided into two parts, in front were eight people holding various flags to open the way, and behind were three columns of knights pressing the formation, and Hong Tao and these guests were in the middle of the line. There were many local residents on both sides of the street who came out to see the excitement, and as long as they were not too close to the horse caravan, no one drove them, and from this point of view, the European emperors did have much less power than the Chinese emperors, and they could not even impose martial law on a street.
"Old Ka, why are my horses shorter than theirs?" Hong Tao was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, but his eyes were staring at the horse butts of the knights in front of him.
"Hey, hey, hey...... It seems that you don't know everything either! This horse is the Emperor's favorite, a purebred Arabian Bedouin war horse specially given to him by the Sultan of A\Ra\Ber, and it is much better than the horses you exchanged for sugar. They rode Hanover heavy horses, horses specially prepared for heavy knights, and in terms of preciousness, your Bedouin horse was at least five heavy horses. "Karl was second only to Manu in Golden River Bay, and he was very fond of Arabian horses, and he had two of them at home, and when he was not out at sea, he rode them around with Mia whenever he had time. On the issue of horses, Hong Tao should learn from him.
"That's amazing! It's a pity it's not white, otherwise I'd be Prince Charming! Dressed in silver armor and holding a sword, he rescued the princess from the dragon, and then the princess fell in love with the prince, that's how your poetry is written, right? After listening to Carl's professional answer, Hong Tao didn't bother with the horse's problem. If Carl was telling the truth, then his cousin was quite interesting. If this is put in the future generations, it is to take out his best sports car to pick up guests, how can it be considered a generous emperor. But Hong Taozui can't be idle, he can always find something wrong, and then extend it.
āā¦ā¦ If you go to be a bard, you can mix well in the Empire. "Carl just showed a little joy, and was beaten down by Hong Tao again, in the face of a person who knows everything, Carl is very painful, he can always know more than you know, it's really not a thing!
"Daddy, Daddy, behold, their roofs are so high! It's beautiful! Can you build me a big house like this in Golden River City too? The stone road was not very long, less than a kilometre, and soon the horses were emerging out of a residential area, and not far in front of it was a castle with four minarets. The salamander had only seen it through the binoculars, and now that she had come to the castle, she was even more excited, if it weren't for the horses in front of her, she would have rushed out, and the horses had already felt her emotions, and kept snorting and gouging their front hooves. A wild girl, Hong Tao can't teach any elegant children, he doesn't have that temperament.
"It's really stumbling on me, your dad and I really don't know how to make such things. Girl, you study hard, and when you grow up, you will build it yourself, and you will build it higher than all of them! Hong Tao held Jiang Zhuyi's waist with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to pat the neck of the Hong Salamander War Horse, so that it could calm down for a while.
"Uncle Karl, can I learn how to build towers with my craftsman uncle here?" Hong Salamander also follows Hong Tao's character in learning, and when he sees what he likes, he wants to learn immediately, and he can't eat or sleep when he learns.
"Of course, I'll find you the best teacher, and you must learn faster than your father!" As soon as he heard that Hong Tao also had something that he wouldn't know, Carl was extremely enthusiastic.
"I don't think the castle is built in the Romanesque style of the Christian tradition, right? It's more like it was designed by the Orientals, am I right? Hong Tao rarely gave Carl a chance to be happy for more than a minute, and even when he was on Carl's turf, he didn't plan to break this rule. Although he is not very knowledgeable about architecture, Hong Tao can see a taste of Orthodox and A-La Bo architecture from the shape of the tower. You don't have to know too much about it, you just need to have been to Russia, Romania, Turkey, and other countries in later generations, and those places are full of similar buildings.
