The local nobles are not sure whether the Eastern Continent is filled with gold, but beauties can see it.
Zhou Xingyun took three oriental beauties, Xunxuan, Hua Fuduo, and Mo Nianxi, frequently to and from bars, neighborhoods, downtowns, and other crowded places.
Within a few days, rumors about Zhou Xingyun and his party began to leak out in the streets and alleys of St. Hillenburg Kingdom.
Under Zhou Xingyun's deliberate manipulation, the rumors quickly turned into rumors, so much so that the residents of the Royal Capital of St. Hillan Castle spread rumors and claimed that the Eastern Continent was a paradise and a paradise on earth.
The most crucial point is that Zhou Xingyun is a traveling merchant and he knows the way to the Eastern Continent!
So the question is, does Zhou Xingyun know the way back to the Central Plains?
As has been made clear before, Zhou Xingyun did not know how to return to the Central Plains. If he knew how to return to the Central Plains, how could he go to the royal capital of St. Hillan Castle and confuse the public with his lies.
What Zhou Xingyun did was nothing more than an attempt to lure His Majesty the King of St. Hillan Castle out.
As mentioned before, Qili'an's family owned the navigation map to the Central Plains, and they monopolized this trade route to make a fortune.
Now that Zhou Xingyun is pretending to be a traveling businessman from the Eastern Continent, he will definitely attract the attention of the Qili'an family.
To put it bluntly, if Qili'an's family wants to continue to monopolize business and monopolize the trade routes to the Central Plains, they must negotiate carefully with Zhou Xingyun.
The people of the Qili'an family must be very worried, fearing that Zhou Xingyun would draw a navigation chart to the Central Plains and sell it to other businessmen or people from neighboring countries.
In this way, the rumors about Zhou Xingyun and his entourage spread from one place to another in the royal capital of Saint Hillan Castle, from local civilians to the ears of the local nobles. After the local nobles met Zhou Xingyun and others, they spread to the people of Saint Hillan Castle.
In the ears of His Majesty the King.
After that, Zhou Xingyun got his wish and received an invitation letter from His Majesty the King.
This morning after Zhou Xingyun washed up, before he had time to have breakfast, several servants claiming to be royal servants drove a carriage and stopped in front of the tavern where Zhou Xingyun lived.
The carriage that received Zhou Xingyun and others was very luxurious, a pumpkin carriage with seven white horses.
Local residents could tell by looking at the badge on the carriage that the carriage belonged directly to the royal family.
As a result, Zhou Xingyun and his party were invited to the king's castle as a matter of course.
The pumpkin cart is very spacious. Zhou Xingyun and nine people could sit in a circle inside without feeling crowded.
The first thing Zhou Xingyun felt when he got into the car was two words... bold and arrogant.
Speaking of which, the design of this pumpkin car is great. The seats are ring-shaped and shaped like a horseshoe, making full use of the space in the car.
Zhou Xingyun is sitting in the middle of the seat, with both hands stretched out. On the left are Xunxuan, Wei Suyao, Qili'an, and Seluvinia. On the right are Mo Nianxi, Wuchanghua, Isabel, and Hua Fuduo. They can all be hugged.
into the arms.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xingyun could only imagine in his heart the above-mentioned grand scene of eight beauties hugging each other.
The beauties refused to cooperate, and Zhou Xingyun was helpless.
However, Zhou Xingyun has already made up his mind that when he returns to his original world, he will collect money to build a similar pumpkin car, lay a large round mat in the car, and then invite Ning Xiangyi, Xu Luose, Xuan Jing, and Tang Yuanying
, Mo Xianglan, etc., a group of soft persimmons who did not dare to resist him and succumbed to his lust got into the car to play... Ooha, Ooha, Ooha!
In this way, while Zhou Xingyun was whimsical, the carriage drove through the clear moat, entered the king's castle, and stopped in front of a gorgeous little palace.
Zhou Xingyun got off the carriage according to the servant's instructions and followed his footsteps into the small hall.
There is a rectangular dining table placed in the hall, and food and wine have been spread out on the table.
Fortunately, the king sent someone to pick them up early in the morning in order to treat them to breakfast.
At this time, Qili'an secretly told Zhou Xingyun that this small hall was used by her father to receive guests privately. Since it was an informal occasion, many official etiquette could be dispensed with.
On the whole, Qili'an's plan to "invite others" was very successful. Zhou Xingyun and his party were able to meet the king within a few days of arriving at Fort St. Hillan.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but realize that what Qili'an did was a real cheat.
Zhou Xingyun and his party waited for a while in the palace, when the king and princess of Saint Hillan Castle appeared, accompanied by several maids.
When Qili'an saw her parents, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
Zhou Xingyun heard from Qili'an that her mother had died of illness. Now, by chance, Qili'an returned to the past and saw her deceased mother, and she must have mixed feelings in her heart.
However, Qili'an also understood that she did not belong to this world and could not throw herself into her mother's arms like before. She could only stare at her mother's loving face and remember her mother's loving face with her heart.
Perhaps Qili'an's gaze was so intense that the princess noticed her gaze and turned to her with a gentle smile.
I have to say that Qili'an's words and deeds are all elegant and noble. This must be the result of the princess's good teaching.
In Zhou Xingyun's eyes, the behavior of the princess and Qili'an was almost a template.
The slight difference is that the princess of Saint Hillan Castle is a little more calm than Qili'an.
To be honest, it has a touch of motherliness and appears gentler, unlike Qili'an, which is cold and thorny and makes people feel very calm and indifferent.
However, the princess of St. Hillenburg and Qili'an both share one characteristic, that is, melancholy and beauty.
When Miss Qili'an stays by Zhou Xingyun's side, her charm is always calm and melancholy, as if she is worried.
Of course, Qili'an has no worries. When she stays by Zhou Xingyun's side, her heart is as happy as a deer. It has nothing to do with melancholy, but... Qili'an's charm is so temperamental, elegant, beautiful, and charming,
There is a hint of sadness in the melancholy, which is very endearing.
By the way, Qili'an and Isabel both changed their faces to prevent their identities from being discovered by the king and princess of Saint Hillan Castle.
Now Qili'an and Isabel are both wearing brown wigs to prevent the residents of Saint Hillan Castle from misunderstanding that they are of royal blood.
Qili'an and Isabel's hair colors are very special. One is a light snowy indigo color, and the other is a light silvery white. They are very special.
To use Zhou Xingyun's words to describe it, girl Qili'an's hair looks white to the naked eye, but under the smudge of the sun, it reflects a touch of lavender, just like the looming lavender under the white snow, which is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe.
Isabel's hair looks white when viewed directly, but because it is so shiny and smooth, it looks extra silver-white. Under the smudge of the sun, it will appear ice-snow light blue, as if the light hair is hidden deep in the snow.
blue rose.
Qili'an's mother, the princess of St. Hillenburg, also has similar hair quality.
However, the hair color of Princess St. Hillenburg is more like that of Isabel, which is glossy and soft silvery white.
The king and princess of Saint Hillan Castle walked into the small hall, and Zhou Xingyun hesitated and froze in place.
The king and princess of Saint Hillan Castle are the parents of sister Qili'an. Zhou Xingyun felt from the bottom of his heart that he must respect these two elderly people, even if he kneeled down.
The man has gold under his knees, but he only kneels to heaven and his parents.
Qili'an was one of Zhou Xingyun's secretly chosen wives, which meant that the king and princess of Saint Hillan Castle were his father-in-law and mother-in-law, equivalent to his parents.
However, Zhou Xingyun did not understand the etiquette of the St. Hillenburg Kingdom and did not know how to salute the king and princess. Now he knelt down hastily, which always felt inappropriate.
"I am the King of St. Hillenburg, Sandy V, and this is my princess. Today I invite all distinguished guests to meet in an informal setting. I have important matters to discuss with you. Please don't be formal.
, just click whatever you want.”
Just when Zhou Xingyun was hesitant, the king of Saint Hillan Castle took the lead in introducing himself and raised his hand to signal Zhou Xingyun and his party to sit down and have a meal.
The king of Saint Hillan Castle knew that Zhou Xingyun came from a foreign country and did not understand the rules of Saint Hillan Castle, so he specially arranged for them to be guests in the small hall and entertained them in the form of an informal reception.
Not only that, the king of St. Hillenburg also had a translator who knew Chinese to translate and deliver messages for the king.
Gap! This is the gap between people!
Look at the attitude of Emperor Aisilans towards him, and then compare it with the king of Saint Hillan Castle, it's a huge difference!
It’s not that Zhou Xingyun favored Qili’an’s side, the King of St. Hillenburg is really interested! Even the food on the table is made from Chinese ingredients!
"I am Zhou Xingyun, a traveling merchant from the Eastern Continent. They are the wives, concubines, and maidservants who accompany me." Zhou Xingyun clasped his fists respectfully: "Thanks to His Majesty the King's kindness, we are more respectful than obedient!"
Hey! Hey! Hey! What is that? Who is that?
Zhou Xingyun was following His Majesty the King's kindness to dine, but he found a little princess with a rat-headed figure hiding outside the palace door.
Little Qili'an appeared! Perhaps because she was afraid of strangers, she was like a little hamster, standing by the hall door and peeking in.
Zhou Xingyun guessed that Xiao Qili'an had never seen a foreigner, so he was very curious and wanted to follow his parents to the palace to have a look.
Unfortunately, the king wanted to discuss national affairs with Zhou Xingyun, and it was not suitable for Xiao Qili'an to participate, so he handed her over to the care of a maid.
However, Xiao Qi Li'an couldn't bear it after all, and secretly ran to the small hall, hiding outside the door and timidly peeping at Zhou Xingyun.
Zhou Xingyun noticed that someone was watching him. At first he thought it was the king's guard, but when he took a closer look, hey! That's incredible! The person watching him turned out to be Her Royal Highness Princess Qili'an!
Qi Li'an was obviously aware of herself hiding outside the door, so much so that she felt the same way, experiencing the shame that made Selvinia sit on pins and needles when Zhou Xingyun saw Xiao Xiaosai in the Principality of Cheryl.
Qi Li'an couldn't see. Qi Li'an couldn't see anything. Qi Li'an pretended to be calm and took a sip of clear soup, hypnotizing herself hard, hinting to herself that Zhou Xingyun must not have noticed little Qi Li'an outside the house.
In other words, that little girl with a rat head and an old age, that little girl who just escaped from the solitary room with dust on her nose, is definitely not her childhood self. No matter what others say, this is what Qi Li'an believes in her heart.
of!
Why did the little girl escape from the solitary room?
As Zhou Xingyun expected, the little girl was very curious about what foreigners looked like, so she clamored her parents to bring her to have dinner with her this morning. However, the king wanted to discuss business with Zhou Xingyun and could not bring her with him. As a result, little Qili'an... Bah!
As a result, the little girl started acting up! She even accidentally smashed a few vases.
The king had no choice but to ask the maid to take her to the solitary room to face the wall and think about her mistakes.
Qi Li'an would not tell Zhou Xingyun even if she was killed. She was actually quite unruly when she was a child. It was only after changes in her family that she gradually learned to be sensible.
