Chapter 256

.

It was dark at this time, and Shi Tian was already full of wine and food. Thinking of the "program he made with Mei Xier made to hold in the evening, I couldn't help but have a great desire, and walked into the bedroom to happily go to the appointment. But I saw Mei Xier lying on the bed half a thin blanket, as if she had fallen asleep. Shi Tian coughed a few times, and Mei Xier not only did not wake up, but also heard a few extremely thin snoring sounds from her nose. Obviously, she had fallen asleep due to excessive fatigue and was sleeping very well.

Shi Tian's physique is much different from that of ordinary people, especially in terms of the most primitive desire, which can definitely be described as an animal on the lower body. Usually, the desire is attacking the heart can be suppressed by his own creative mind method. Now he has already relaxed his heart before entering the bedroom. The desire has moved. If he uses the heart method to suppress it, he will feel extremely uncomfortable. Besides, his personality likes to do whatever he wants, and he will not restrain himself unless he has to.

But he was not cruel enough to wake up Mexier who had fallen asleep due to fatigue in order to vent his desires. However, in his current state, letting him lie beside a beautiful woman and can do nothing is even more uncomfortable than being reborn again. So he covered Mexier's sleeping body with a blanket to prevent her from catching a cold. Then he turned around and left the bedroom, walked to the flower circle dedicated to this suite, and held the railing and breathed the cool air of Paris at night to slow down and eliminate the burning flames in his body.

The private flowers in the sky are on the top floor of the hotel, and you can see the most prosperous landscape in the first district of Paris. At this time, the lights are on, and looking south, thousands of neon lights interpret the most modern and gorgeous colors on the Piazza Ventôme and the surrounding streets, forming a bizarre, psychedelic and romantic night view.

The Vendome Square was built in the 18th century. It was originally called the Conquest Square, but later it was renamed the Plaza de Louis the Great. It was designed and built by the famous architect Mansal based on the design of Minister Fuva. However, the site is not large, and it is surrounded by twenty-eight luxury mansions with almost the same appearance design.

As early as the early 19th century, the houses here were occupied by jewelry stores and high-end fashion stores, becoming one of the fashion centers in Paris. The most common places for politicians and noble ladies. Even the swords held by Napoleon when he was crowned were designed by a jeweler named Zhuome, which still retains a crown designed at that time.

When Shi Tian lived in Europe in his lifetime, all kinds of beautiful women were naturally indispensable around him, so he was no stranger to the Vendorm Square, which was the favorite among beautiful women. He had been here many times. When Shi Tian led his servants to sweep the French Polk family among the three major European families, he even killed several gang members trying to escape in the center of this Vendorm Square.

More than a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye. No matter how dazzling and dazzling the modern neon lights are, they still cannot cover up the traces of the years left on the square buildings. Shi Tian couldn't help but feel emotion. He sighed and then stepped up, and quickly passed over the roofs of several buildings like lightning. He landed in the remote and uninhabited shadow on the back of a building next to the square.

At this time, there were many tourists on the Plaza Vendome, and you could see people of all kinds of skin, and most of them were dressed in fashionable and gorgeous ladies. People deeply understood what kind of beauty is. Someone once said that the reason why Paris fashion can become a world-renowned brand is that the beauties on the streets of Paris made voluntary advertisements for it.

Of course, Shi Tian was not interested in the jewelry and clothing store here. Although he was extremely interested in beauties, he didn't even go to chat with him casually. It was just a whim. In order to find some of the feelings of the past, he jumped downstairs.

After entering the square, Shi Tian's eyes were attracted by the Vendorm cylinder erected in the center of the square, not because he had never seen this magnificent sculpture before, but because of some familiar feeling. Compared with the Vendorm Square that he remembered a hundred years ago, the one with the least changes was this cylinder.

In fact, there was a seven-meter-high horse statue in the center of Piazza Vandome. It is said that the casting project took more than two years, and after completion, it took several years to carve the pattern. It was the largest statue in the world at that time. However, during the French Revolution, this statue of Louis XIV was not spared and was pounded into pieces by the angry people at that time.

Later, Napoleon I ordered a large cylinder similar to the Roman Trayan column to replace the smashed statue of Louis XIV. According to the original idea, a statue of Charman the Great was placed on the top of the column. However, in order to win Napoleon's favor, the French Institute at that time replaced the statue of Charman the Great with the statue of Emperor Napoleon himself. It also decided to melt 1,200 cannons seized from the Russians and Austrians on the battlefield of Austerlitz to build the column.

The cylinder consists of ninety round drums. There is a spiral staircase with more than one hundred and seventy steps in the center. The column is nearly fifty meters high and nearly four meters in diameter. The statue of Napoleon on the top and the base are about four meters high. The theme of the bronze high relief on the cylinder is the historical scene of the Battle of Austerlitz. A total of thirty sculptors participated in the creation. The relief pictures are precise and concise, and the characters are lifelike.

However, this Vandom cylinder was not smooth sailing. On April 12, 1871, the painter Courbet, who was then the chairman of the Art Committee of the Paris Commune, accused the cylinder of "the idea of ​​war and conquest in the era of the Empire". At his initiative, the Paris Commune demolished the Vandom cylinder with the statue of Napoleon I hated by the members.

However, after twelve days of pushing down the cylinder, the Versailles army conquered Paris. Courbet was first sentenced to six months in prison for demolishing the Vendome cylinder. Two years later, he was sentenced to pay the entire cost of restoring the cylinder. Courbet followed his friend's advice and fled to Switzerland to hide. All his paintings in the Paris studio were detained and sold at a cheap price. After this setback, Courbet fell into deep despair and soon bid farewell to the world at the age of fifty-eight.

The statue of Napoleon was erected high on the top of the Vandom cylinder...

At that time, Shi Tian was not old enough to buy Tianshi Castle in his previous life. He happened to witness the entire process of the Vendorm cylinder being pushed and restored after being pushed. Although these historical events have nothing to do with him, after more than a hundred years, he stood under the Vendorm cylinder again. No matter how casual his personality was, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. This complex mood is probably never to be able to understand.
