In the end, although Tuhuan and Li Xuanying had a lot of brains, they still couldn't give a suitable solution.

Guo Kang suggested that he could find a reason for a private visit - anyway, the princess said that she was visiting friends before going out. Since she didn't say which friend she was visiting, it was okay to come to the Purple Horde in advance. Moreover, the friends of the Purple Horde are far away, and there are still many of them, so it will be okay to visit a little longer.

The French queen and others may suspect that the Purple Horde secretly colluded with her in advance and prepared to support her to intervene in the conflict between Britain and France. But this kind of thing, if you think about it, is not difficult to deal with.

After Zhu Yunwen's reduction of the domain, the current situation of the French royal family is even worse than the history in Guo Kang's memory. The queen and others were not so determined to resist, and some people even secretly negotiated with England. In this case, they could not seriously blame the Romans.

In the final analysis, Zhu Yunwen was introduced by the Purple Horde, so what does the princess really want to do, this is indeed one of her main potential foreign aids. Since the relationship can't be abandoned, it's better to deal with it like this.

To his answer, Theodora said that at least he passed. Guo Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

And Tuohuan told him that he didn't jump off the roof blindly - he also had important news.

An Egyptian Mamluk emir came to Dadu Pier in person today. On behalf of his faction, he sent important news. Not surprisingly, the Mamluks began to fight among themselves again, and these people may have brought in the rescuers.

Tuhuan hopes that Guo Kang can participate in diplomatic activities together and the banquet in a few days.

It's much easier to engage in diplomacy with these people. In the past, when these emirs, beys, and chiefs came to visit, they were all received by the nobles of the purple horde. Everyone talked and drank grape juice in the palace, and it was dark to drink. When I woke up, I basically talked about it. The rest is the details after the general direction is finalized, and let the officials in all aspects figure it out slowly.

In addition to the palace, the Niangniang Temple is also an important place to receive guests and hold ceremonies. Many distinguished guests have come here to visit.

Due to the large number of people who came, the temple also prepared a private lounge for the nobles. If you are tired of the lengthy etiquette, rituals, and speeches, you can take turns hiding in the break room for a while and having two drinks. As a result, the guests usually leave with red eyes, apparently pleased with the diplomatic ceremonies.

This time, the stated purpose of the Egyptian guest's trip was to hire engineers and engineers to repair the local public welfare facilities. Therefore, as a relevant party, Guo Shi will definitely attend.

Guo's ancestors are said to be the leaders of the army sappers and engineering experts. This lineage has since been carried on, and there are basically excellent architects and engineers in every generation, and others have also dabbled in some way. Stepfather Guo Daxia is actually an outlier.

In these years, the most famous person in his family should be the construction expert who once built "Petersburg" in Novgorod, "Old Peter" Guo Li.

In addition to the distant fortresses, his greater fame came from the capital, where he was chosen to renovate some of the city's most important facilities due to his experience and achievements.

The current palace and Niangniang Temple are the result of his overhaul. Even the special lounge in the temple was specially added at that time. Guo Kang moved his hands and feet on the building in the temple and installed various movable statues, which can be regarded as inheriting the ancestral industry.

The more controversial part is that Guo Li thought that the original decoration style was too extravagant. The gold ornaments and purple drapery in the record, even now, are worth a lot of money, and it would be a waste to restore them. It's better to choose the cheaper option and use the money saved for more critical infrastructure construction.

The choice of color should of course be done carefully. Ancient books say that blue, red, yellow, white, and black are the five positive colors. Red and black, already used for the military flag. With the remaining three, Guo Di is ready to give yellow to the palace, and blue and white to Niangniang Temple.

According to the design, after the renovation, the entire temple will be repainted. Guo Li also added the star and moon city emblem of Constantinople as a decorative element.

The moon on the coat of arms comes from the Byzantine city-state of the classical era and represents Artemis, the god of the moon worshiped by the city-state; The star on it, which was added by Emperor Constantine after the relocation of the capital, symbolizes the Virgin Mary. In order to adapt to the new color, Guo Di painted the red and white of the Xingyue Emblem into green and white.

Later, the Greeks protested that the new coat of arms was contrary to tradition, so it took some time to replace it. In other places, however, traces of the remnants can still be seen.

It is said that Guo even had an idea to change the overall tone of the city. He had been in the Rus region for a long time, and liked the snow and forests there, so he once proposed to eradicate and level the dirty and messy areas of the city due to the perennial lack of management, and plant trees, shrubs and lawns in an orderly manner in suitable places, and cooperate with the existing water palaces and fountains to form a green system for the whole city. Those bare buildings also paint the tops green to match the overall tone. The ultimate goal was to make the city aesthetically pleasing from any angle from the walls of Theodosius.

Guo called this overly advanced urban greening scheme the "Green City", and suggested that the Mongolian counterpart "Kuku and Tun" should be used as the official Mongolian name corresponding to the Chinese word "Dadu".

Although the plan was not realized in the end due to cost problems, Guo Di still left his shadow everywhere in the city.

To this day, the honor guard of Niangniang Temple is still wearing the red coat and black yarn hat that the purple tent is used to, and the green and white star and moon flag he designed is waving. With the four Sulu ingots around the temple, it is very feeling. Some guests even thought that this design was very good-looking, so they directly copied it back and let their guards use it.

Although the real purpose of this Mamluk emir is definitely not to rent a construction team, the presence of the Guo family is also a requirement of the process.

And Guo Kang ...... Although he did not inherit his ancestral business and became an architect, he studied the art of institutions in Niangniang Temple every day, and also tinkered with firearms, which is also known to everyone. This kind of thing is indeed indispensable to him.

After notifying this matter, Tuhuan and Li Xuanying did not stay, and took the initiative to leave.

Before leaving, Li Xuanying took advantage of Guo Kang's delivery to the door and quietly told him, saying that these two heroines were very powerful. Although he boasted that he had practiced martial arts all year round and was skilled in bows and horses, he was attacked in a hurry and still suffered a big loss, and the horse lance lay down without waving it.

He suspects that Guo Kang currently does not have Guo Daxia to fight, and when he encounters so many women, he doesn't know if he can withstand it, so he must be more careful.

After giving the instructions, the two turned around and gave Guo Kang an encouraging smile and left in a hurry.

Well, the alliance leader who has been on the shelves so far can be regarded as making up for it...... Thank you!
