Chapter 266: The Flower Is Missing

Between the African continent and West Asia, there is a long and narrow strait, this is the Red Sea, the Red Sea itself is nothing to see, but the ancient Egyptian Empire and the ancient Babylonian Empire on both sides of the Red Sea are the two superpowers thousands of years ago, and the power of the heyday of the year is not even under the Tang Empire of the Great Xia millennium ago.

It's a pity that now the ancient Babylonian Empire has long since disappeared, the civilization of the ancient Egyptian Empire has also been annihilated, and later Egypt has become a second-rate force.

But in Zhao Qian's opinion, it was this clue that could arouse his interest.

Although the ancient Babylonian Dynasty has been torn apart, the ruins of ancient times have also been wiped out in the religious wars, those miracles are naturally unexaminable, in fact, when passing through the Arabian Sea, Zhao Qian also went ashore to look for ancient monuments, but unfortunately this land has gone through a hundred battles, and the historical relics and other buildings have been destroyed too completely, and there is really nothing to find.

Fortunately, there are many pyramids left by the ancient Egyptian Empire, so when Zou Rong and the others decided to go to the Red Sea into Europe, Zhao Qian did not hesitate to choose to move along the west coast, so as to see the glory of the ancient Egyptian Empire in the past.

However, before entering the Red Sea, there is one more pass that must be passed, and that is the Gulf of Aden.

When leaving the Middle East, the chiefs of the Middle East countries expressed their willingness to arrange a fleet to escort Zhao Qian's cruise ship through the Gulf of Aden, and the reason is naturally needless to say, as one of the three major pirate gathering places alongside the South Seas and the Caribbean, as long as anyone who has seen the news knows.

But as the big leader in the pirate world, Zhao Qian naturally refused without hesitation, joking, after his two pirate fleets left the South Seas, Wu Wentong took one east to the Caribbean, and Philip took the other to the Gulf of Aden.

Sure enough, when the cruise ship passed through the Gulf of Aden, not a single pirate appeared in the entire Gulf area, not even a small sampan, much to the surprise of the merchant sailors who happened to pass by and were accustomed to being scared.

Zhao Qian was also very satisfied with this situation, having said that, since they left Nanyang, except for the continuous replenishment of materials in the production base on Nanyang Heavenly Demon Island according to the setting left by Xiaoguang, and the intelligence agency led by William to provide intelligence support, Zhao Qian has never contacted them, but from the report submitted by William, he saw that they have developed quite well.

In fact, it's not bad, these two fleets were originally a strengthened version of the mixed fleet, after reaching the area where the two pirates were rampant, Wu Wentong and Philip led the fleet to immediately sweep away all opponents, no matter which force was standing behind those pirates, they were all crushed in the past, with the support of the Rose Business Alliance, their own strength was enough, they had such confidence.

So it only took half a year to complete Zhao Qian's idea of the Seven Seas Fleet, and the seven fleets have been basically formed, and the reason why Zhao Qian has not been notified until now is because they want to form the same mixed fleet as before, and form a combat power that is enough to compete with the ordinary regular army, and then report to Zhao Qian.

But before that, Zhao Qian didn't know this, and he didn't bother to ask, but nestled on the cruise ship and swung across the Gulf of Aden.

Entering the Red Sea, he did not make many stops in the previous section, but headed directly north, towards Egypt.

After seeing the world-famous pyramids and appreciating the Nile civilization that disappeared into the long river of history, I was surprised that some of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs from 5,000 years ago were somewhat similar to the oldest bone inscriptions in Bactria and I really didn't have much interest in the others.

Although the pyramid is claimed to be a ladder to heaven after the death of the pharaoh, it is rumored that there are all kinds of spirits in it, but Zhao Lai went back and forth several times, and he did not find any murderous ghosts, poisonous bacteria, etc., but because of the dark and damp environment, a lot of spiders and scorpions and other poisons grew, which disgusted him fiercely.

"Time has passed too long, it seems that I can't find any dry goods," Zhao Qian shook his head, and left North Africa on a cruise ship, heading to Greece, another ancient civilization.

It is no wonder that, according to modern scientific research, the ancient Egyptian civilization is about 5,000 to 2,000 years ago, such a long time span, I don't know how many wars have been experienced, and it has been adjacent to ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient Babylon and several powerful ancient civilizations, and it is strange that there is still something left.

With the experience of Tianzhu and Egypt, Zhao Qian did not have much hope for Greece, and sure enough, the legendary gods of Mount Olympus did not see any of them, and finally settled down completely, and accompanied his wives to play in the mountains and rivers, wandering around.

In this place at the junction of North Africa and Europe, it is the Mediterranean, in fact, Zhao Qian has also been here before, and he has also accepted two people into the Demon Gate, one of them is Hohen Cape, the heir of the oldest family in Europe, and the other is Yang Shifan, who he wants to marry if he is stalking.

Although these two people were admitted to the Demon Gate, they usually settled in Europe, and now Zhao Qian's cruise ship has arrived in the Mediterranean, which is still unbearable.

In addition, Caesa Lorraine and Zhao Qian's friendship is also not bad, and people from other major families also join in the fun, adding up to more than a dozen people.

So when Zhao Qian's cruise ship came out of Greece, he was always followed by two cruise ships, which accompanied them from Greece to Italy, then through France to Spain, and then to the Atlantic, along the European continent all the way to the north, for two or three months, and then stopped when they sailed to the English Islands.

"When I arrived in England, I found out that I hadn't heard from Christina for a long time. Looking at the not-so-noisy port outside the window, Zou Rong suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Zhao Qian was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Zou Rong suddenly mentioned Christina.

Zou Rong lay crookedly on the sofa, hugged Zhao Qian's arm, and grinned, "Anyway, it can be regarded as an acquaintance, it can be regarded as a friend, although I was worried that she had thoughts about you at the time, but I haven't been in touch for so long, and I miss her a little strangely." ”

"You just did it," Zhao Qian rolled his eyes, then picked up the pager next to him and called Caesar over.

"Do you know about Christina?" asked Zhao Qian.

"The rose of England?" Caesar shook his head for a moment, "I don't think I saw her since I came back from your engagement last year." ”

Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "The Wilson family is also a famous big family in the British Isles, and Christina is even more of a popular figure in the UK, how can such a person have no news?"

"It's really a bit abnormal," Caesar thought for a moment with a frown, "It seems that the Wilson family hasn't had a public event for a long time, that is, at the beginning of this year, Earl Wilson appeared once at the Queen's New Year's reception, didn't something happen?"

Zhao Qian stood up and took two steps, looked at Caesar and asked, "Where is the fief of the Wilson family?"

"Crosga. ”

"Belfast?Northern Ireland?" Zhao Qian turned around and looked at Caesar in surprise, "Irish?"

"Yes," Caesar shrugged, "so although the Wilson family is not weak, no one will bother if they don't show up for a long time." ”

Well, that little thing about England and Ireland, Europeans know.

Zhao Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind poked out to the north, and about eight hundred kilometers away, he found traces of Christina's existence.

It was an old castle, very well decorated, but there were few people in the castle, except for an old master in his fifties and sixties, there were only a dozen servants, which was extremely incompatible with the identity of the Wilson family, and there was no Christina in this castle.

"What's going on, let's go and see," Zhao Qian nodded his finger and pointed ahead, "Let's go north, to Northern Ireland." ”

This matter was brought up by Zou Rong, she naturally has no opinion, where to go is not to go, it is regarded as a stop by to play, and now Christina's whereabouts are unknown, if she does not find a result, she will not be at ease.

As soon as he said go, Priti, who was still chatting with the Secretary of Commerce of England on the shore, was also summoned, and the cruise ship immediately set sail, leaving the port of Penzance and heading straight north.

This time, Zhao Qian did not let Hoheng and them follow, leaving only Caesar to accompany him as an introduction to Wilson's Castle.

"It seems that the Wilson family is not involved in the cooperation with the Rose Business Alliance. After learning what happened, Li Lu suddenly said that she was in charge of the cooperation between the Rose Business Alliance and Europe, and she remembered these things very clearly.

Yuan Wenli also nodded, "Although there are only ten major families in Europe's first-line partners, almost all other mainstream families in Europe have established cooperative relations with the Rose Business Alliance, and the Wilson family has considerable influence in Northern Ireland and England. ”

Zhao Qian pouted, "These families have always been interests first, only the wolves who steal fish, how can there be tigers who don't eat meat, most of them are the Wilson family's life-and-death matters, which will make them indifferent to making money, or they are too busy to take care of themselves." ”

"Hey, Mr. Zhao," Caesar said, spreading his hands, "I'm also a member of these families, so please try to be as tactful as possible when you say bad things." ”

"This is not a bad word," Zhao Qian looked at him with a smile, "This is a compliment, saying that you are very good!"

"Is this bullying me for not having enough language level in Great Xia?" Caesar shrugged, comparing his two fingers to a small gap, "Actually, I have also passed level six, and I am only a little short of level eight of my major." ”

"Is Xia level 6?" Zou Rong became interested, "Then I'll give you a question, listen, my eldest uncle went to the second uncle's house to find the third uncle and said that the fourth uncle was deceived by the fifth uncle to steal the 1,000 yuan in the eighth uncle's cabinet, may I ask, who cheated out of whose 1,000 yuan? ”

Caesar, who claimed to be the sixth level of Xia Yu, was suddenly blindfolded, and he pulled his fingers vigorously, still thinking in his mind, "How many uncles are there?"

"Cut, it's still Xia level 6, let's learn math first. The women despised it together.

After a round of KO Caesar, several women played word games such as anagram idioms solitaire by themselves, and when they saw this scene, Zhao Qian couldn't help but have black lines on his head.

Since a few of them practiced the Nine Turns Ascension Divine Technique, and with the help of refining divine beads, the divine mental power has become stronger day by day, and now after more than half a year, it has reached the strength equivalent to the early stage of the transformation of the gods, is it interesting to use such divine mental power to play word games?

The owner of the ship was having fun, but the cruise ship was moving fast, under the control of the crew, all the way to the north, and it didn't take long to reach Crosgar, and before the cruise ship landed, Zhao Qian saw the Wilson Castle standing on the hillside in the distance.
