Chapter 490: Going to Sea (Part II)
Huai Xuan Taiping, along the Tu, although the cup to a few waves of pirates, Romon with Cambodia "four or five fleets." Now with twenty boats, morale is at its peak. It really scared those pirates, and pirates are not stupid, they know who should be robbed, and who should be robbed will not be able to fall behind. Although there were people paying attention along the way, no one dared to step forward at all.
"It should be almost there, right?" Lying flat on the bed with his head on his hands, Romon's thoughts drifted far, far away with the slightly swaying hull of the boat.
Since the Fifth Fleet went to sea, the ships have gone up and passed through many ports, and now, it is getting closer and closer to the royal capital, according to the plan. They were to dock at the great port of the royal capital, and he and his attendants dismounted.
The Fifth Fleet did not stop and continued to advance. Going deeper into the Inner 6 area to receive refugees, Romon finished his work and returned to the port to wait. When the Fifth Fleet returns, pick them up.
Soon, the Fifth Fleet approached the big port of the royal capital, because their dozen or so warships were too ostentatious, as early as dozens of kilometers away from the port, a group of battleships came to the opposite side of them, for the battleship flagpole. There is a flag fluttering, which is the symbol of the royal capital.
Presumably to see the sign of the Fifth Fleet. The other party just told them to pause, and did not attack immediately.
Soon, one of the opposing warships approached this side, while the other warships remained in place. Take a wait-and-see approach to the situation here.
"Which fleet are you from?"
As soon as the ship approached, the people shouting above asked loudly.
In this era, there were no megaphones, and the shouts were all in the voice, and the person who asked was not tall. It's ordinary, but it has a good voice. The sound is loud and clear, and it is very clear to hear.
Although there is a distance between them, there is no communication barrier.
"We are from the Fifth Fleet, and we are going to rush to the Inner 6 area, passing by here, in order to escort Viscount Tetashaw to the side of the 6th Fifth Fleet, and we have also sent a clear-spoken person who is responsible for replying and shouting over.
I heard that I walked by, and there was a viscount on the boat, and the other party's tone and expression became respectful, in this world, the privileges of nobles are not as capable as a commoner, and they will definitely not be able to be equal to a nobleman, this is the difference in status.
"Viscount Tetashaw, okay, let me inform you first, you wait here for the film to be restored
When the other party heard the news, he couldn't make up his mind, so he asked the Fifth Fleet to wait here first, while the battleship turned around and headed for the fleet in the distance, and after a while, the person who shouted came back.
At this time, there was already a smile on his face. "My lord said that it is passable, but. We need to escort you across the port
It has long been known that the other party must still be vigilant, and the Fifth Fleet has no objection, and under the escort of the other fleet, the Fifth Fleet has successfully arrived at the port, and, at the signal of the other party. Only the main fleet carrying Romon and others and gifts docked, and as soon as the battleship landed, a group of people rushed up, but it was helpers and the like.
"Go and hire a few wagons, and then hire some reliable people to carry the goods. Luo Meng didn't intend to use those inappropriate people, and turned to Lu Xiupei, who was following him.
Lu Xiupei has followed Luo Meng out many times. Always by Rommon's side, he will also be affected in his way of dealing with people, he went out for a while, and arranged things almost as well.
A well-behaved group of porters was tasked with carrying things down from the ship, and the wagons were found. A gorgeous and comfortable one for the Romon ride. Other carriages were pulling gifts. The people who drove the car were the attendants.
Once everything had been loaded onto the wagon, the Fifth Fleet gradually left the docks and headed farther away.
The journey was not particularly far, and in half an hour I came to the front of the inner city.
The port and the royal capital were theoretically one city, but their practical inner walls, separating the docks from the royal capital, were so high that they were grander than any city Romon had ever seen.
The height and breadth of the gates were longer and wider than all the cities of the county of Lomon, and when they arrived, it was in the morning, and there were many people who went in and out of the royal city, and all kinds of people.
It is a fact that there are many nobles in the royal city, and the soldiers guarding the royal city, their neat clothes, delicate appearances, and heroic figures, have good qualities that other city guards cannot have.
Because, this is the royal city, they are the guardians of the gate of the royal city, and they are the first scenery of the royal city, and the requirements for them may be higher than other soldiers.
"My lord, I inquired just now, the closest place to the palace is Emerald Street, where high-class nobles are allowed to live, you see, are you?"
Lu Xiupei's words gave Luo Meng a wake-up call. He took out a token from his bosom, which was given to him by Princess Qianya, and with it, he could live in Emerald Street, where it was a privilege to live. It was easy to get close to the palace, so he secretly made a decision to rush to the Emerald Street where the nobles gathered when he entered the city.
"Once you're in town, head straight to Emerald Street. Thinking of this, he said to Lu Xiupei, who was driving in front of him.
"Yes, sir.
Lu Xiupei was already in a bad mood, so he inquired about the route to Emerald Street, and answered when he heard it
Soon, their carriage came to the city gate. Not surprisingly, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the royal city.
Only, in this. regional, aristocratic many. They are also afraid of offending people who should not be offended, and they are very polite to those who sit in ornate carriages.
And the facts have proven. Their caution was right, the person they checked this time was a viscount from an outside territory, what kind of power was behind it to become a viscount at such a young age. As soon as the soldiers thought about it, they could imagine it. For such young and promising people, they are extraordinarily polite.
"Your Excellency, your identity has been verified. Please pass and have a nice time in Intramuros. ”
After the sound of the soldiers defending the city, the carriage passed the inspection at the city gate and headed for Emerald Street.
Romon raised the curtain of the car a little and looked out, I have to say that the royal capital is the royal capital, this is a big city produced by the fusion of hundreds of years, whether it is the streets, shops, or various buildings, or the pedestrians shuttling and the prosperity of the city, it is not comparable to the city of the county where Romon is located.
"Sure enough, it's Wangcheng, it's really extraordinary. Romon nodded secretly.
However, the reaction he could make was only that, the large cities he had seen on the earth in his previous life were larger than this, and it could only be said that the royal city was indeed much grander than those cities in his county.
Under Lu Xiupei's driver, the carriage continued to move forward, followed by a convoy loaded with gifts, and the group soon came to the Emerald Street in the royal city in the carriage.
On Emerald Street, except for some aristocratic mansions. The others are the best hotels and restaurants, and those places are no longer places where you can go if you have money, and there are nobles who need them
Portion.
Ordinary merchants and adventurers can't stay at will, but of course, it's okay to enjoy it, and it's open every day.
Emerald Street is regarded as an exclusive area for a kind of great nobles, and Luo Meng's status is not low, and the viscount of the local real power is qualified to live here. Plus with that token, it saves a lot of trouble.
"My lord, when Emerald Street arrived, the carriage driven by Lu Xiupei slowed down.
Romon looked out the window.
The streets are indeed very prosperous, the capital of a country. It is also the core area, and naturally there are many rich people.
There are a variety of shops on the street, and you can see all kinds of luxury signs.
Gorgeously dressed pedestrians, coming and going.
Romon was wearing a viscount-level dress, which was very luxurious, and it was not conspicuous in this place. It can only be said that it is the clothing of the upper middle class.
The streets were full of people, and Romon keenly noticed a group of people patrolling in secret.
In this core area, of course, the guards are also quite tight, and if you encounter thieves, saboteurs, or criminals, you will basically not be judged, and you will be sent directly to the gallows.
Romon stared at the pedestrians who seemed to be coming and going. A moment of laughter: "Let's find a hotel to stay in first." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Next, they are on Emerald Street. After finding a hotel, after verifying Romong's identity, occupation and token, the boss smiled and let Romon and his attendants into a large mansion in the back.
Somewhat similar to a single-door villa, with a single courtyard. There are flowers and grasses in the courtyard, there are small lakes, rockeries and pavilions, which is really good.
A group of people stayed here, and the carriages were parked in, and barely occupied a place in the courtyard. The size of the place is evident, and the cost is amazing.
After staying at this hotel, the first day is a time for everyone to rest and relax, and the next morning is early. Lumon sent to the palace and asked for an audience.
Asking to see the king is not an easy task. There are a lot of steps that need to be taken, and there are many etiquettes that need to be paid attention to, such as this request to see the post, the king is either a single door or waiting for you to visit the door, people have a lot of things, the arrangement is very full, to see the king, you need to say hello in advance, and people have arranged the time. You can go and see it.
The staff of the royal palace accepted the request for an appointment. In accordance with the usual rules and practices, the application time and identity will be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
With the approval of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and three days after it was relayed, His Majesty will summon Romon in the palace.
Romon had three days to spare. During these three days, according to the rules, Romon was not allowed to visit other nobles until the king summoned him. Even if you don't even visit the princess, it's basic courtesy.
Romon has been quite bored for the past three days. I had nothing to do, and I walked around Emerald Street. I have to say that there are indeed a lot of strange things in the royal city, and after taking a turn on the street, even Luo Meng, who thinks he is not weak, can't help but buy a lot of things, ready to go back and give them to his wife and future children.
Some girly stuff. He also purchased a lot, and these were to be given to the mother and daughter of the bell lock.
Turn around, it will be a little boring, the street is very prosperous, Romon has seen more prosperous than this, so he felt bored, he can only go back to the hotel first, in his room, waiting for the king's summons.
