838. Catch a big fish
Cid sat down opposite Chen Yuanyuan, posing as a courteous gentleman. In fact, Cid's cultivation is still good, he was born in an aristocratic family, he is very knowledgeable, because he was once exiled by the king, and wandered the "rivers and lakes" for a while, so he has the free and unrestrained style that the nobles lack, in general, he feels like a bard in armor, full of romantic smell. He is obviously very confident in his appearance and temperament, and he is very sure to win Chen Yuanyuan, a big beauty.
However, he is overconfident, thinking that Chen Yuanyuan has seen countless scholars and scholars on the Qinhuai River, bureaucratic prodigal sons, people with temperament and appearance like Xide, they have already seen double digits, these people without exception want to win Chen Yuanyuan's favor, but they all failed, because ...... Chen Yuanyuan doesn't like to be handsome or anything, what she likes is a man with a baby, and Yi Yun deceived Chen Yuanyuan by relying on a "big transfer treasure" that was "worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver" and did not exist at all.
At this time, if Xide came up with a European magic weapon worth one or two hundred million silver, he might be able to win Chen Yuanyuan's heart, but just playing handsome had no effect at all.
Cid talked eloquently there, like Chen Yuanyuan introducing his great achievements when he was wandering in Europe before, Chen Yuanyuan listened quietly with a polite smile on his face, and from time to time showed an expression of interest, and asked him to continue, in fact, these are all Qinhuaihe's means, and it is always a professional skill that every guest needs to feel that he is valued, in fact, Chen Yuanyuan has been asking about Xide's status in the army, after Chen Yuanyuan's clever inquiry. Finally figured out that this Cid's status in the army is not too high, he is the head of the Spanish army of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but because the main force in the Eight-Nation Alliance is not Spain, he does not have much say in the army.
(Note: The Eight-Nation Coalition forces were divided among 12,000 British, 13,000 Russian, 3,500 French, 1,000 German, 500 Austria-Hungary, 1,000 Portugal, and 1,000 Spanish.) 8 people from Italy. )
After another moment. Cid had blown enough, but saw a young man walking next to him, wearing a cloth robe and holding a book in his hand. It looks very much like a magician's dress. You must know that magicians like to wear magic robes and hold magic books in their hands. Yi Yun felt a chill in his heart, he played a lot of games, so he was very yearning and wary of the profession of magician.
I only heard the man who suspected himself be a magician introduce himself: "Beautiful young lady. Can I write a poem for you? I'm Italian and my name is Alighelli-Dante. ”
"From Italy?" Chen Yuanyuan smiled: "What a great country." ”
Dante smiled: "Yes, Italy is the hero of the Renaissance. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cid next to him suddenly snorted coldly and said, "The shameless poet who brought eight of his men to join the Eight-Nation Alliance actually had the audacity to say that his country was amazing. ”
Dante was not ashamed and said with a smile: "We Italians are not here to fight, but to write poems, see the scenery, see the beautiful sea, appreciate the mystery of the Oriental countries, and promote our pasta to the Eastern countries...... So eight people are enough...... "Endless shopping, wah, wow, this person is talking for half an hour."
Chen Yuanyuan thought to himself: This person is a waste, and he has no use for helping me enter the church, so don't pay attention to him.
She thought so, but she smiled at Dante and invited him to take a seat.
As soon as Dante came, Cid was a little unhappy, he was having fun making girls here, Dante, the guy who wrote poetry, came to make hair? He kept glaring at Dante with his eyes, but he refused to leave, he was here, and kept offering courtesy to Chen Yuanyuan: "Beautiful young lady, I'll write poems for you now......
Chen Yuanyuan thought to himself: European poetry is actually an ordinary narrative paragraph to mention each line, this is also considered poetry? This kind of broken poetry should not be shown in front of the people of our big buddy country, right?
She smiled, "Don't dare to bother Mr. Dante." ”
At this time, the men next to him saw that Cid and Dante were already on board, so they didn't dare to pretend to be gentlemen next to them anymore. A group of young men rushed over, filling Chen Yuanyuan's table, and everyone scrambled to introduce themselves, but their status was not very high, either big businessmen, or nobles with no real power, compared to Xi Delai, it was still a big difference, for Chen Yuanyuan's infiltration action, this group of people would not actually help except coax.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh: "Big fish, big fish, why haven't you come yet?"
"Does the young lady want to eat fish? Isn't it easy?" called a big businessman, "Cook, get some fish." ”
Just when Chen Yuanyuan felt that there might be no harvest tonight and that he would come back tomorrow, a young man in black armor suddenly walked to the table, this person smiled at Xide, obviously a little wrong with Xide, and then he smiled at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "This beautiful young lady, can I give you a brief introduction to yourself?"
Yi Yun and Luna laughed secretly next to them: This man is interesting, everyone else walks to the table and starts to introduce himself, but this person first wants to ask if he can introduce him, it seems that in the "gentleman" class, this person has learned relatively well, and he has the demeanor of a gentleman.
Chen Yuanyuan nodded at the man in black armor.
The man introduced himself: "I am the prince of England, my name is Edward, and because my profession is a black knight, people call me Edward the black knight." ”
Hearing his introduction, Yi Yun, Luna, and Chen Yuanyuan were secretly happy in their hearts: It's good, finally a big fish has come. Among the Eight-Nation Alliance, Britain and Russia have the largest number of troops, and Britain is responsible for almost all naval ships, and is the most important country.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't immediately show that she was different from Edward, she smiled slightly, and said generously: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really rude." Although she said that it was rude, people did not stand up, because her fake identity is the daughter of the leader of the Donglin Party, with the vast territory and large population of the Great Meng Country, the daughter of the leader of the Donglin Party is also comparable to the identity of a prince in Europe.
Edward still doesn't know Chen Yuanyuan's identity, but seeing that she is dressed in jewelry, she is not worse than the queen of the European royal family, and only the diamond crown of the Italian queen in the whole Europe can be compared with the treasures on her body, and he does not dare to underestimate her, so he sat down with a smile and happened to sit next to the Spanish freelancer Cid.
Cid immediately glared at Edward, it turned out that the British fleet had defeated the Spanish Armada a few years earlier, and the relationship between the two countries was still very bad at this time, although they joined forces to deal with the Great Moe Kingdom, but there was no harmony between them.
Big fish and small fish are all fish, and Chen Yuanyuan didn't want them to quarrel here and ruin his plan, so he whispered a few times and turned the attention of these two people to himself, so that he didn't fight.
The men in the field were all fascinated by Chen Yuanyuan, and the topic naturally began to revolve around Chen Yuanyuan's identity, what was the purpose of her coming here, Chen Yuanyuan smiled, and told the story she told to those small businessmen again, claiming to be Qian Qianyi's daughter, who wanted to rescue her father, was willing to marry the person who helped her, and gave all her property to her husband or something.
When this set of rhetoric was taken out, the faces of the men at the table naturally changed greatly, a few businessmen who knew that they were not strong enough first made a pee, and then a few nobles who had no real power borrowed a escape, and in the end, only the Spanish freerider Cid, the Italian poet Dante, and the British prince Edward the Black Knight remained.
Cid said: "It turns out that Miss has such a painful past, I will do my best to save my uncle from prison." ”
Dante said: "This tragic story inspired me to write a poem. ”
Edward said: "Writing poems while playing, what kind of cheekiness makes you still have the face to sit here after listening to Miss's words?" He turned his head to Chen Yuanyuan and said: "Please rest assured, our British Empire is strong, and it is a piece of cake for us Britain to attack Nanjing and rescue my uncle." ”
He was so big that Yi Yun was not happy, and Chen Yuanyuan was not happy, so she couldn't help but say in a smiling tone: "Is the British army so powerful? It's really good! Then you should hurry up and send troops, Macao is the closest to Guangzhou, first break Guangzhou, and then go north to take Nanjing, my father will rely on you, as long as you save my father...... I...... I'm your man......"
She said this innocently, without the slightest irony in the middle, but after Edward heard this, his face was slightly red, how could he dare to attack Guangzhou? Yi Yun had already transferred ten tanks and one Yiwu soldier to be stationed in Guangzhou, and it was good that the Eight-Nation Coalition Army would not leave Macao, but once it came out of Macao and arrived on the plains, it was necessary to shoot for the tanks, and now Macao relied on all kinds of defensive batteries, trenches, fortresses, and other things to protect itself. Coupled with the Manchu Qing in the north, Yi Yun did not dare to attack with all his might, so they could wait for the Industrial Revolution to continue to create something new to fight against the Great Meng Kingdom.
He had no choice but to whisper, "That...... This one...... It is necessary to make arrangements for marching and fighting, and it is not possible to fight just as you say. ”
Seeing that he was deflated, Xide was extremely proud in his heart, and laughed and said, "Don't brag if you don't have the ability." ”
Chen Yuanyuan's face also deliberately pretended to be very disappointed, looking sad and crying, which made people feel distressed. Yi Yunming knew that she was pretending, but he also felt heartache when he saw her expression next to him. (To be continued.) )
