"Actually, I'm not afraid of duels." Ding Yi grabbed Anna's slender arm and said to her softly. He waved his hand over Princess Anna's body, signaling the guards who were about to enter at the sound to withdraw first. A woman's tears, even if they are the tears of a beautiful woman, Ding Yi can still resist them, and when necessary, he doesn't mind reflecting these tears on the steel knife that he wields.

But because of the tears of the beautiful woman who was concerned, Ding Yi always taught him that he was a little helpless.

"Okay, don't cry, thank you, kid." Ding Yi touched his nose as he spoke, and even he himself felt that the word "child" was very hypocritical when he said it at this moment, "Don't worry about me, look into my eyes, listen to me, you have to believe me, yes, believe that I can win." ”

Princess Anna shook her head desperately, her golden curls surging like waves: "No! That's a demon, he's going to kill you! Just like those lowly longbowmen did at the Battle of Agincourt! "The Battle of Agincourt, the most glorious victory of the English longbowmen, the arrow curtain fired by the longbow killed many French knights.

"Your Majesty, you said that knowledge is power, but in the dueling arena, knowledge can't help you resist the blade like armor!" Princess Anna feels like she's going crazy, and she doesn't know how to stop this man, the man she is fascinated with, on the path of death.

Ding Yi felt a headache, but he couldn't do anything about it, even if he pulled out the revolver in order to comfort her and accurately hit the vase twenty meters away, it couldn't make Princess Anna's heart get even a trace of peace: "Your Majesty! That's a duel with banned firearms, your battlefield, definitely not in the dueling arena! I am sure that you can command the army and achieve the final victory, but not in the dueling arena! ”

"But I can't be a coward." Ding Yi really had no choice, not only could he not reassure Princess Anna in words, but as time passed, the intimate delicate body and the fragrance of the virgin, from touch to smell, also made him gradually feel a little ape - although he was still able to control himself, but the hand that was originally holding Princess Anna had unconsciously stroked her long soft golden hair.

So he decided to use such an excuse to stop the conversation.

"Yes, Your Majesty." She could hear that Ding Yiyi had made up her mind, so she didn't persuade again.

Standing up straight, the tall Princess Anna, except for the tears in the corners of her eyes, she was as tall and solemn as usual, like a church: "But I think that Mehmed II may be a coward, maybe he will not want to go to the dueling arena, then the problem will also be solved." "Princess Anna, who can become the regent, has already revealed her fortitude and determination at this time.

"No, kid, you don't have to do anything like that for me." Ding could tell what she was saying, and she wanted to cause some trouble for Mehmed II when he arrived in Paris, or at that time, so that he could not go to the dueling arena.

He stretched out his hand to take her hand, but it was wrong, maybe it was just a wrong hand. In short, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, although he immediately let go of his hand: "Trust me, I'll fix this." Maybe at that time, you'll consider coming back to Smyrna with me, lovely girl. ”

Ding Yi's original intention was that Princess Anna would consider his invitation to teach at the branch of Rongcheng Academy in Smyrna.

However, to the ears of the princess, it meant something else, and her snow-white face suddenly flushed so red that a few small freckles appeared on the side of her nose - she came out in such a hurry that she forgot to put on her makeup. She didn't say anything more, she lowered her head and lifted the corner of her skirt to salute Ding Yixing, and then hurriedly, ready to leave.

He can always melt her, always let her melt from a solemn princess to a beautiful girl.

"Wait, kid." Ding Yi stopped her, and then asked Cao Jixiang to bring up a box, "A small gift." ”

"The piano you gave me is precious enough." Her voice suddenly became low, and even her beautiful face was no longer as high as usual. But she still took the wooden box, full of Ming-style carvings, simple and elegant, looking at the objects in the box has infinite expectations.

Ding Yi pressed the hand she was about to open the box: "Go back and open it again." ”

When she left, Cao Jixiang served tea to Ding Yiji on the side: "Your Majesty, the establishment of the Ministry of Rites still has to be arranged early." Otherwise, there must be a charter for this draft. Although they are not good-looking, they are also the daughters of barbarian kings, and when they are included in the palace, they must always reward a noble concubine to show the emperor's grace. ”

Hearing this, Ding Yi almost squirted out the tea directly, this Cao someone's chauvinism is not ordinary tough, the person Anna Gongxin wants to release the posterity, how can he also be the figure of a model and the face of a star, but Cao Jixiang thinks he looks ugly? Well, who made this era, Huaxia is not weak, and naturally the mainstream aesthetics are dominated by the aesthetics of the Celestial Empire.

Cao Jixiang was still helping Ding Yi on the side: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the old slave followed His Majesty Xià and also read some books, this saltless mimpranaceous mother, although she has no face, she is virtuous." His Majesty is the holy monarch who wants to achieve the foundation of the world, according to the old slave, the daughter of this barbarian king is indeed talented, for the country and the people, alas, if you don't accept it, it's just bitter! ”

Ding Yi couldn't help it, and choked out of his nose with a sip of tea.

He pushed away Cao Jixiang, who was about to come over to beat his back, waved his hand, and motioned for him to go out first to let himself be quiet.

At this time, I heard Cao Jixiang whispering to Jeddah outside: "If you look like that Isabella, although the eyes are frighteningly green, this complexion and appearance can still be seen; The daughter of this French barbarian king, although she is talented, is really bitter! "Isabella has a goose egg face, except for the higher nose, which is quite in line with the aesthetics of China at this time.

"Na Yan took this Louie's daughter, and waited for Louis to collapse, and this Fasilan will naturally be Na Yan!" Gilda said disapprerovingly, "For the sake of our tribe, no, our country, that Yan is indeed bitter!" But look at Ijida, it's worth it! ”

Ding Yi had already stopped coughing, listened to their conversation, and coughed desperately for a while before calming down, and whispered to himself: "You know a fart, don't say that people are obviously beautiful, just those long legs can play for a day without getting tired!" But after a pause, his face turned red again, "Forget it, this is too beastly, it looks like it's only twenty!" But he soon became entangled, "No, I can't do this anymore, I owe Liu Yiyi and them a lot, but I can't be wrong." It was based on this psychology that his gift to Anna was a pair of shoes, beautiful shoes. He thinks Anna understands what she means.

Giving shoes to a woman originally meant to keep the other person away. Ding Yi didn't think Anna would be able to see through this meaning.

But he became melancholy again, got up and walked around, and said to himself: "But this is the Chenghua year, the Chenghua year!" It is not illegal to take a concubine! At this time, he was not as simple as when he married Sofia, because it was a pure political marriage, it was an exchange of interests, and this time, it was obviously not like this. He was not a saint after all, and he had many struggles in his heart.

And Princess Anna, who got into the carriage and returned to Paris, could still feel the burning of her cheeks even when she was sitting in the carriage.

"No, I'm not sick." She said this to the maid who had come to greet her, and then opened the beautiful wooden box that Ding Yi had given her.

Inside is a pair of high heels, although the French court costumer has invented high heels in this era, but Ding Yi's pair of high heels is a combination of many Chinese craft elements and styles, jade inlays and smooth shoe shapes, all of a sudden Princess Anna fascinated. Even the maid beside her couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock: "God! It's not a pair of shoes, it's a beautiful work of art! ”

"He always surprises people." Caressing this pair of exquisite shoes, she was indeed like Ding Yi's material, and she immediately understood what Ding Yi meant, but she quickly found an excuse for herself, "He wants me to wear this pair of dream shoes and follow him to Smyrna?" Maybe it's a good choice. ”

But the flush on Princess Anna's face slowly faded, because she had already made up her mind.

Once she had made up her mind, she regained her church-like solemnity: "Sue sù Joan. Morality. Grand Master Chloe, I don't want Poseidon's opponent to enter the dueling arena. This is a mandatory order and no rejection is allowed. If it fails, then I will do my best to lobby the nobles of various countries and provide money and goods to support his reconstruction; If he succeeds, then he can end his mouse-like career and repeat the glory of the year. Don't forget that Joan of Arc has been canonized. ”

Joan. Morality. Chloe, Grand Master of the rebuilt Knights Templar. The reason why the Knights Templar had money was annihilated by order of the Church was that it was too rich, and it is said that the IOUs and books of usury were piled up higher than the scriptures.

However, although the current Knights Templar were rebuilt, they have not recovered for more than 100 years.

As Anna said, they can't show their faces in the open.

So the reward she proposed was definitely a tempting condition, especially when she mentioned Joan of Arc, that is, Ding Yi's influence on the pope.

Among the guards following the carriage, someone replied by the carriage window: "As you wish, Your Highness." ”

The guard then broke away from the convoy and into the dark streets.

"I'm not going to let you have anything to do!" Princess Anna swore secretly.

"I'm definitely not leaving." Although she didn't make a sound, the sharp eyes swept over, but the maid next to her subconsciously lowered her head, she was a lady as solemn as a church. R1152
