Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The White Swan formed a small convoy with the newly captured Victory and continued from the Gulf of Panama to North America.

In order to prevent the future Mexican emperor and his wife from making various arrangements, Ji Aojian came over every day to chat and exchange aristocratic culture with them by the way.

Leopold was an idle prince who spent a lot of time on literature, art, and other hobbies, and was also interested in modern science. When the two sides talked about the achievements of contemporary mathematics, physics and chemistry, they also felt quite a sense of confidant.

But Ji Aojian also appeared, although Leopold was very passionate about science, and his interest in supernatural events did not fall behind at all, no matter whether science was unscientific or not, he talked about it with relish.

It turns out that there has been a Christian belief in Europe for thousands of years, and although modern science is flying, there is absolutely no theistic atmosphere. As for the ** that clearly puts forward theism, it is not yet the mainstream, or in other words, it has never become the mainstream of the West.

At present, the aristocracy of Europe, if they have not joined one or two supernatural associations and know a few psychic "masters", they are simply out of style.

Ji Aojian thought, if anyone tells me in the future that Europeans can understand the true meaning of the words "this is not scientific", I will slap it in the face.

He is a martial arts master, a master of Buddhism and Taoism, and can be regarded as a half-religious person, so he simply chatted with the prince and his wife about doctrinal issues, whether it was ancient Egyptian Babylon, or Greco-Roman Northern Europe, and even from the Celtic druidic beliefs, all the way to Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia.

On this day, King Arthur of ancient England was suddenly mentioned. Leopold praised. King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table were exemplary Christians. ”

Ji Aojian was surprised, "Are you sure King Arthur believed in Christ?

It is said that the body of the person is a red dragon. This was supposed to be the druid's means. And the dragon is a symbol of evil in Christianity.

Leopold firmly stated, "The Knights of the Round Table laid down the code of virtue for later generations of knights, and they were, of course, devout Christians." ”

It turns out that you see them as the ancestors of the knightly world.

Ji Aojian nodded and said casually, "They also made a round table, and it seems that they are still pioneers of democracy." ”

Leopold was amazed, "Your Excellency the Marquis's idea really makes sense. Why didn't anyone think of it before? King Arthur was not only a great Christian, but also a fighter for democracy. ”

Ji Aojian's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered where the third sister and the ninth sister went, and it seemed to have something to do with the Knights of the Round Table, "Your Royal Highness, have you heard of Avalon?"

"It was a mysterious place in English legend," said the Prince. There are many psychic characters with great powers. The Big 6 of Europe had never conquered the British Isles because Avalon was helping the British. ”

Ji Aojian was surprised, "Never conquered England?

"William the Conqueror is a descendant of Lancelot and has a lot of power in Avalon, so it was actually a civil war for the British. ”

Well, there's a lot of insider information here.

Leopold was very upset with King Arthur. "It's a disgrace for Lancelot to seduce the queen and divide the Knights of the Round Table. ”

Ji Aojian smiled, "He's French, and French people are all this virtue." ”

Then he asked. "Among the current nobles of Europe, are there still the bravery of the ancestors of the past?"

Leopold said. "As long as it is a knight's family, the family inheritance of riding and spear skills must be practiced. ”

"It's the era of muskets, why do you still practice martial arts?"

"There are conflicts between nobles, and they often need to compete in martial arts, how can they do it without practicing martial arts?"

Ji Aojian held his chin, "Isn't the duel a shooter for each other?"

Leopold was indignant, "What kind of duel is shooting a gun, this is a crooked trend, which has caused the descendants of today's nobles to practice martial arts less and less." ”

Well, martial arts in Europe are also in decline, and this is the normal law of history.

Ji Aojian smiled, "Your Royal Highness, have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Leopold was ashamed, "I've been in poor health since I was a child, and I haven't been able to do anything. Now that I'm older, I can't beat a few boys. ”

Maria was busy excusing her husband, "European royal families are basically like this, their physique is not good, and they can no longer produce kings like Redbeard and Lionheart." ”

This is because there are too many marriages between the royal families of your modern countries, all of which are marriages of close relatives, and they have fallen into a family disease, and of course their physique is not good.

Ji Aojian was conjecturing maliciously, but saw Maria winking at her husband, and then said to herself in a very sincere tone, "Your Excellency the Marquis, we have one thing to ask for, and I hope you will agree generously. ”

"What's the matter?"

Maria pointed to the Heavenly Dao Spring, who was sitting on the side, "It's about this young lady." ”

Ji Aojian was puzzled, "Aren't you satisfied with her appearance?"

No, I'll let a martial arts master serve you, it's already very sincere, you have to be picky about this?

"No, no, no, we're so satisfied. The Prince's wife shook her hand again and again, "Your Excellency Marquis, maybe you don't know that our husband and wife have been married for many years and have never had an heir. ”

"Oh. Ji Aojian still believes this, Christianity requires monogamy, and there are too many couples without children. Although extramarital affairs are also very popular among Europeans, and there are quite a lot of illegitimate children, but looking at Prince Leopold's disdain for Lancelot to hook up with the queen just now, I think he is still quite a husband.

No, why are you telling me to have no children?

Then Princess Maria said something that struck in his ears, "Your Excellency Marquis, will you allow your sister to be our adopted daughter, so that she will be the only princess of Mexico, and she will also be the queen of Mexico in the future." ”

Ji Aojian almost jumped up, "You think she's my sister?"

Hey, am I that old! She's obviously older than me, okay?

Besides, what kind of eyes are you? I actually think that we are brother and sister, what is the similarity between the two of us?

Leopold grimaced. "This young lady is not the sister of the Marquis, but you two do look very similar. ”

Or is it really similar?

Ji Aojian rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of a long-standing saying: In the eyes of Westerners, the faces of Easterners are almost the same, and it is difficult to distinguish them, and vice versa.

Even so, you think we look alike, and you still think I'm the older one, which is outrageous.

The young grandmaster said weakly. "You must be mistaken, the two of us are not like each other at all. And I can't be her brother, I'm only nineteen years old. ”

Leopold was amazed, "Your Excellency the Marquis is only nineteen years old, and I have always thought that you are at least thirty years old. ”

At least thirty years old?Ji Aojian almost wanted to roar, and raised his hand to point at Tiandao Spring, "You think she is my sister." How old do you think she is?"

Mary hesitated and said, "I think I'm twenty years old." ”

Not to mention the opposite, there is a full ten years of difference!

Ji Aojian was completely defeated, "Very good, very good, the vision of the two of you." It's really ...... Unique. ”

Leopold coughed and said embarrassedly, "Your Excellency, I'm very sorry. Now that I look closely, you are indeed very young. And that young lady is a little older than you. ”

"Then how could you have been wrong?"

"It could be an impression problem. The Prince explained carefully. "Your Excellency the Marquis has a calm and mature bearing, and this young lady is always very docile and well-behaved in front of you, so we naturally regard you as brother and sister, and please bear with us. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Ji Aojian reluctantly shook his hand, "However, we are really not brother and sister. ”

It's not just brother and sister, it's not the same country at all!

Mary asked, "If this young lady is not your sister, then who is yours?"

Tiandao Quan, who had been sitting silently, said, "I'm just a servant of my master. ”

"What!" the prince and his wife were startled, their eyes widening wider.

Maria looked at Tiandao Spring in disbelief, then at Ji Aojian, and muttered, "I always thought you were letting your sister accompany us...... It's unbelievable that such an aristocratic girl is your maid. ”

Leopold was very embarrassed, "Your Excellency the Marquis, you should not have heard our mention just now. ”

Mary screamed, "No!"

Leopold turned his head and persuaded, "My dear, you have just heard that this girl is only a maid of His Excellency the Marquis. ”

"She couldn't have been a maid in the first place. Mary shook her head and insisted on her opinion, "I can see that this child is well-bred in every move, and must have a noble birth, but it is only because of the tricks of fate that he has fallen into the current situation." ”

Leopold suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said to Ji Aojian, "Your Excellency Marquis, I heard that your Eastern nobles often take the wives and daughters of the losers as slaves in wars between them, is there such a thing?"

"I guess there is. ”

Mary immediately rushed to ask, "Then this young lady, is this the situation to become your maid?"

"Sort of. ”

Mary said excitedly, "Your Excellency, Marquis, please be merciful and give this young lady freedom." ”

Leopold also said, "Your Excellency Marquis, as long as you agree to this young lady as our heir, it doesn't matter what price we pay. ”

Ji Aojian wondered: Why are you so unrelenting in adopting her?

The Austrian prince and his wife, who were originally quite interested in coming to Mexico to take the throne, but once became a prisoner of pirates, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, they were very emotional, and the two were nearly fifty years old, and felt that time was short, and the desire to have an heir became more and more thirsty.

After they saw Tiandao Spring these days, they were very satisfied with her aristocratic demeanor, and when they heard about her life experience just now, they felt that their situation was similar to that of their own, and they were all fallen people at the end of the world.

His Excellency the Marquis of Siberia is a grandmaster who has reached heaven and earth, seeing the looks of the two, he gradually understood a little in his heart, and secretly thought: It's not that I don't want her to be a Mexican princess, it's just that your throne is really precarious, why should I push her into a big pit.

He sighed, "In this matter, we should also listen to the opinions of the parties themselves." ”

The Leopolds immediately looked at the Heavenly Dao Spring with anticipation, hoping that she would grasp the opportunity of fate.

Mary thought to herself: This child must want to be free, yes!

Seeing their gaze, Tiandaoquan's face did not change in the slightest, and he just said quietly, "Master, please remember the words of that day, if you are not my master, you are my enemy." ”

Ji Aojian spread his hands, "You two heard it, the reason why this young lady and I have this relationship is because we have a deep hatred between us. If she goes with you, she will seek revenge on me in the future, and there will be a duel between me and her. ”

"I can't do it, I can't do it. Leopold hurriedly shook his head, "If His Excellency the Marquis and her are to fight a duel with her, this is really a human tragedy, and you must not live." ”

Maria asked relentlessly, "Your Excellency the Marquis, since this young lady has a great enmity with you, you can rest assured that you will keep her by your side?"

Ji Aojian said lightly, "I can trust her." ”

Leopold patted his wife on the back, "My dear, they Orientals have their own set of traditions, so let's not disturb them." ”

Maria nodded slowly, with tears in her eyes, and said slowly, "When Leo and I were locked up on the pirate ship, we lived every day, and one day, I heard a girl's voice shouting outside, 'This is the ship of His Excellency the Marquis of Siberia, a vassal of the Ming Emperor', and I immediately felt that God had come to save us." ”

Mrs. Prince walked to Tiandaoquan's side and took one of her hands, "Later, a girl came here to accompany us, and the tea she made was a fragrance that we had never drunk, and the flowers she arranged were beautiful scenery that I had never seen before...... Although she said very little, when she spoke, I could hear it, and this is the girl who spoke that day to let us know that God did not give up on us. ”

Leopold let out a long sigh, his eyes full of melancholy.

Mary put the right hand of the Heavenly Dao Spring in her palm, and tears finally flowed down, "Child, you are our angel. ”

Tiandao Quan's eyes flushed slightly, he bit his lower lip, and said softly, "I'm sorry, madam." ”

Maria stared at her for a long time, and slowly untied her necklace, "This is a memorial that my grandmother passed on to my mother, and my mother left me a memento, I thought I would have a daughter who could wear it......" Hanging the necklace around Tiandaoquan's neck, she smiled, "You kid is good at everything, but you don't like to dress up, and you don't have any ornaments on your body." In the future, you should remember that girls should dress themselves up beautifully. ”
