Chapter 672: Rescue
Coughing lightly, Xu Wenlan wanted to say a few words round the scene, but she heard the woman's laughter: "Look, I'll just say it, Oriental beauties are shy." ”
When I turned my eyes, it was Maria, dressed in a casual long dress, sitting at the white round table, smiling at them.
When Xu Wenlan looked over, she got up and stood beside her, raised her hand and shouted into the distance: "...... here"
At this time, Xu Wenlan noticed that a bicycle was slowly riding in the distance.
said it was a bicycle, but this bicycle was too simple, just looking at it, Xu Wenlan felt cumbersome, especially when the car came rampantly, it couldn't turn around, or two attendants stepped forward to catch the car, and the people on the car stepped out of the car.
Xu Wenlan couldn't look down on this simple bicycle, but Shen Dezhang looked straight at it.
"Isn't this a Trojan horse oxcart built by Wu Hou? There are only two wheels, and you just run with your feet on it? ”
Touching her forehead, Xu Wenlan smiled: "This is nothing, there will always be someone who can run faster than this in the future, and you can run without stepping on it." ”
Looking at her a little, Shen Dezhang believed her a little. In the past few days, I haven't seen her say anything big.
"How fast?"
"How fast! The fastest is still outside the customs today, and tomorrow will be in Beijing. Xu Wenlan said seriously, but Shen Dezhang directly rolled his eyelids and whitened her.
She also knew that no one would believe what she said at this time, and she was not annoyed, she just smiled.
While the two were talking, Alexander I, who had just ridden his bicycle, also came.
first glanced at Xu Wenlan, but asked: "There are no bicycles in Daqing, right?" This car was built by a serf in our Russia ten years ago, and it has only two wheels but it does not fall, and it is faster than a man can run. To be able to offer such a treasure, I let the serf go free at that time. ”
When Xu Wenlan heard this, she pondered in her heart, feeling that this was the tsar showing off, and thought that she could neither give face but also lose her own face.
He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this bike is good, but in my opinion, this bike is not perfect." How can a car be considered a good car if it can't turn and adjust its direction at will? ”
Hearing Xu Wenlan say this, the smug look on his face was much less.
After glancing at Xu Wenlan deeply, he asked, "I would like to hear your good methods of the Qing Dynasty, how to make this car turn." ”
Xu Wenlan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I want to borrow His Majesty's bicycle for use." ”
With a wave of his hand, an attendant pushed the bicycle over.
Xu Wenlan took a closer look, and the handlebar frame was dead, but it was not impossible to turn.
Thinking about it, she reached out and drew a line under the handlebar: "If this place is divided into two sections, and the handlebar can turn freely, then won't it be able to turn?" Naturally, there are adjustments to be made below, and it depends on how the skilled craftsmen in your country do it. ”
After listening to Xu Wenlan's words, he looked at the bicycle again, and after a long while, he turned his head to look at the blonde young man standing aside: "John, do you hear that?" It seems that our distinguished guest from the Qing Dynasty is indeed a smart woman. ”
The blonde young man known as John nodded and flattered him with a smile, and Maria on the side also interjected with a smile.
They talked happily for a while, and even Shen Dezhang gradually relaxed. Later, he laughed and said that this Rakshasa country is really not as big as the rules of our Great Qing Kingdom, and that tsar is so unscrupulous.
After entering the Winter Palace and offering a pair of blue and white porcelain vases, Xu Wenlan can be regarded as initially opening the door of the royal family of the Rakshasa Kingdom, whether bright or dark, many people have begun to contact Ivan and want to contact the caravan from the east.
Xu Wenlan is not in a hurry, the goods are not worried, the goods brought this time are all high-quality, and the one with the highest price will get it.
Running between Moscow and St. Petersburg, Xu Wenlan seemed to be more enthusiastic about court entertainment, not caring at all whether the goods he brought could be sold.
But the more careless she was, the more anxious the merchants became, and without even seeing the goods, they had already doubled the price.
Ivan urged Xu Wenlan to sell the goods, but Xu Wenlan still didn't blurt out. After another five days, when she returns from St. Petersburg this time, the goods will probably double again.
took Lin Ming to the Winter Palace, but this time he accompanied the Tsar and others to hunt.
If Xu Wenlan said that she was not a master of riding a horse, she would not dare to play tricks like the two Gege. But in the Rakshasa country, she is still a good ride, and even the knight John can't help but praise it.
Rakshasa hunting, using a bird gun, Xu Wenlan has never used this, fortunately, she is still self-motivated, she can't fight big, it's always okay to hunt a rabbit, and she didn't lose Old Man Zhu's face.
In this era, the most exciting thing for men is probably hunting, the hounds bark wildly, the deer in the forest are driven out, and the men jump over the bushes in groups, and the men shout and beat the horses to catch up, and there is a hustle and bustle.
Xu Wenlan didn't follow too closely, and took her own people far behind.
On this kind of occasion, I don't seek merit but no fault, and the left and right are just social entertainment, what do you rob?
Driving through a forest, Xu Wenlan hadn't noticed anything yet, and Lin Ming was already vigilant.
"Something seems wrong......"
Shen Dezhang, who was following behind, was still ignorant, but the two guards behind him had already surrounded him first.
Xu Wenlan looked at it and smiled first: "Don't be so panicked, even if there is an ambush, it is not coming at us." ”
But no, in this foreign land, where else is there anyone who deliberately ambushes them? If you want to ambush, you are also the one in front of the ambush.
Danger is a bit dangerous, but it's always an opportunity.
The idea must be that Xu Wenlan immediately recruited Lin Ming over, and originally wanted to leave Shen Dezhang behind, but this nerd was stupid, so he had to keep up, and he didn't have time to argue at this time, so he could only take him, and the group chased after him quickly.
In the distance, I heard the sound of gunfire, which was more dense than the gunfire of the hunt just now. As soon as Xu Wenlan heard it, she knew that this was right. She wanted to step forward, but Lin Ming pressed her down, making her jump off the horse and lie on the ground, while she rode forward.
This time it was really Chinese kung fu against the foreigners' firearms, and they were caught off guard, and the group of assassins caught Lin Ming and the others off guard, and before they could stabilize their positions, the royal guards also arrived, and a group of assassins died cleanly except for two who escaped.
"Damn Decembrists!" I shouted angrily, although he was not injured, but this stabbing wound still made him angry.
"A group of rabble, still delusional to overthrow the royal family, is really whimsical. Without the royal family and aristocracy, do they know how to govern the country as a group of commoners? ”
Xu Wenlan listened to it, thinking about the "October Revolution" many years later, and was silent.
An unsuccessful assassination attempt gave Xu Wenlan a bargain.
Because of the merit of this rescue, the tsar gave her the title of a lady, although the verbal honor, except for some jewelry, there is no real benefit, but this title alone also depends on Xu Wenlan.
