don't call me singer

Chapter 1882

At this time, Königsberg was the capital of the Principality of Prussia. Frederick I (now Frederick III), who had not yet become king, was now the "Elector" of the Principality. Full of sincerity and friendliness, even though Peter the Great concealed his identity, he still received the embassy with a super high standard, held a grand reception ceremony and parade, and the fireworks and parade lit up the Baltic Sea.

During the parade, the residents of Konigsberg crowded the roadside, wanting to see the style of the Russian mission and guess which one is the Russian tsar.

After all, the news that the Russian tsar was traveling with his identity hidden has already spread like wildfire.

According to rumors, Tsar Peter has a distinctive height, so he should be particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

But this day, it was another black-haired, black-eyed face who was clearly from the East, and successfully stole everyone's limelight.

The boy at that time had already put on snow-white clothes made of silk from the east, and was riding a tall horse that was obviously more handsome—Zhao Ye, who was summoned by Gu Xiaobai through "White Horse Chapter", even In front of the noblest and most elegant group of people in Königsberg, the handsome face that is so unbelievable, and the dress and restraint that are completely different from the exaggerated and gorgeous styles of Western nobles are enough to suppress the luxurious temperament of almost everyone around them. It's like a deadly poison, which makes people feel uneasy.

Just riding through the long streets of Königsberg, that night, this young man won the hearts of many young girls, even the only daughter of Frederick I, Louise Dorothea, sent someone I have inquired about the name of this mysterious boy from the people in the mission.

Outside the residence where the embassy stayed, it was already surrounded by young girls who were at ease, and now those who threw stones through the windows were only those who were more daring and less resourceful.

The other girls have bribed the guards and broke in in an attempt to rob the lover.

Even Peter, who is the tsar, was a little hard to resist such a grand occasion, but Gu Xiaobai was obviously used to it with his indifferent demeanor.

And Peter finally understood why Gu Xiaobai had such a strong combat power.

If the combat power is not strong, it may have been snatched away by some female mountain king!
To be honest, Gu Xiaobai has traveled so many times, this "Tonight Bai" body is not actually the most beautiful, and the one most similar to his body should be Li Bai.

In addition, "Tonight Bai" was a sailor before, and he was exposed to wind and rain, eating and sleeping in the dew, and his complexion was relatively dark, so his appearance was a bit discounted.

But I didn't expect the girls in Königsberg to be so enthusiastic.

This is probably one of the differences between the East and the West.

However, Gu Xiaobai has already experienced this kind of enthusiasm, and it is not too difficult to adapt.

The only problem is that the guards guarding the door are not as dedicated as Jiang Wei, and girls always sneak in.

Fortunately, the guards of the embassy were all Peter's confidantes, they were very dedicated to their duties and maintained his safety.

However, Gu Xiaobai felt that if this went on like this, maybe Peter would eat himself out of envy.

Under Peter's dangerous gaze, when even Gu Xiaobai couldn't take it lightly, Lefort walked in.

"How?" Gu Xiaobai raised his head and asked.

"There is no progress..." Lefort shook his head. "After all, it was 40 years ago. Besides, this little moth girl may not come to Königsberg."

Gu Xiaobai was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "Thank you, I took the trouble."

Lefort's envoy was not here for fun, and Gu Xiaobai was also very grateful to help him inquire about things besides various official duties.

However, Gu Xiaobai did not quite agree with Refort's statement that "he may not come to Königsberg".

Just as he was chasing the little moth, and the little moth was actually chasing him hard, wanting to meet him.

Although I don't know why there is a 40-year gap between each other this time, the little moth will definitely walk the path he will take next.

Time and space make it impossible for them to meet each other, and they can't even leave any effective information, but neither Gu Xiaobai nor Moth are willing to be so restricted by time and space.

They will still pursue each other in the endless time and space, and walk the path that the other has traveled.

Whether it is the storm in the sea and the sky, the long river in the desert, or the current 40 years...

It will not make Gu Xiaobai back down.

The little moth must have left some information for him, and there must be some information that even time and space cannot cover up.

But, where to find it?

While Gu Xiaobai was struggling to find clues, in the palace of Königsberg, Louise Dorothea, daughter of Frederick I, and her confidant maid, sneaked out of the room, intending to sneak out of the palace.

While walking, Louise asked her female companion: "Really? They all went to see it secretly? Oh, it's so disgusting, they didn't take me alone! Did you go to see it?"

"Hee hee hee, I only glanced at him from a distance, and didn't dare to approach him... Sophia was still talking to him."

"Oh, really? Woohoo, I'm so envious... what did she say?"

"Hello."

"Ah, I just said hello? It's such a pity!"

"Sophia said that when she saw him, she was so nervous that she couldn't speak, she was almost scared to death!"

"Ah, do you want to be so exaggerated? If it were me, I would have to ask him if he would marry me, hehehehe..."

"You, marry you? You think too much!" The female companion almost lost to Louise, which is too straightforward.

"How can this be called thinking too much? I heard that he was looking for a woman who came to Königsberg 40 years ago. Do you think that is his mother or grandmother or something? You say if I find him , will he really want to marry me?"

Louise showed a fascinated look.

For people of Louise's age, they have actually reached the age of marriage.

As Frederick's daughter, she might marry a nobleman she doesn't like, maybe the king of some country.

But she didn't like it at all, these kings were ugly as pigs and smelled worse than skunks.

If possible, she would rather marry a bard and go wandering all over Europe together.

"By the way, I heard that he is actually a musician? Have you ever heard him play? I heard that someone hasn't left his window for three days and three nights in order to listen to the play again...you say , is there really such a magical performance in this world?"

While discussing excitedly with her maid, Louise quickened her pace.

During this time, for some reason, her father suddenly strengthened her management and did not allow her to go out, which suffocated her.

All the girls in Königsberg are outside the window of that mysterious boy, only she is locked in a deep boudoir, learning some boring knowledge!

How can this be accepted by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl?
This time, don't try to stop him, just take a look at that mysterious boy!

But before Louise slipped out of the palace gate, she saw Frederick rushing over.

Louise quickly wanted to hide, but saw Frederick said with a serious face: "Don't hide, come out! Where do you want to go?"

"Uh, looking for girls to play with?" Louise lied cautiously.

"Didn't I order you not to leave the palace?" Frederick turned cold, "Do you want to find that musician from the East?"

Louise smiled awkwardly, and said dissatisfiedly: "My little sisters have all been there, but I haven't..."

"Come with me." Frederick glanced at her female companion, turned around and strode away.

Louise wanted to run away, but she didn't dare. She could only stick out her tongue at her female companion, and followed behind her father.

Following her father into the depths of the palace, Louise hesitated for a while when she saw her father push open a hidden vault door and go in.

She even began to wonder if her father was going to lock herself in the vault.Then he saw his father turn around and point to a painting hanging on the wall: "Louise, come and see!"

Louise walked over, and then her eyes widened suddenly.

In front of her is a dancing oriental woman.

She was wearing a simple long dress, and she was dancing in the wilderness with a seemingly simple and rough musical instrument on her back. She was wrapped in a red silk, and her hands were dancing. The red silk seemed to cover the entire canvas, and the picture In the middle, she opened her mouth, as if she was singing something.

"She's so beautiful..." Louise couldn't help saying as she looked at the portrait.

This era is the era of Baroque art. This oil painting is obviously not from the hands of mediocrity. The picture is very realistic, the movement of the human body is vivid and bold, and the colors are bright. It completely captures the posture and expression of the person in the painting. It felt as if the person in the painting was about to jump out and dance in front of her.

"Yes..." Frederick nodded.

Yes, the beauty of the people in the painting is unparalleled.

This kind of beauty does not come from the facial features or appearance, but the feeling from the inside out as a whole.

Through the portrait, you can feel this beauty, even...

Louise could feel that the person who painted this painting was full of fascination with the person in this painting.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to paint this painting so vividly, as if all the effort has been poured into it.

"Who is she?" Louise didn't understand why her father brought her to see this painting.

"If I say, this is the person that mysterious oriental musician is looking for, would you believe me?"

"Huh?" Louise covered her mouth.

She was a little confused.

Why did my father have a portrait that the mysterious oriental musician was looking for, and why did he hide this portrait here and show it to her.

"I don't know who she is, but some people say that she is a wizard from the east with the power to confuse people. Some people say that she is an emissary from heaven to eliminate the evil in the world... But all I know is, If you do meet her, you will be unlucky."

Louise stared at the wall again, why did such a beautiful woman bring misfortune?
Frederick couldn't help sighing, "If I said that the history of Europe in the past 40 years, and even the history of our Frederick family, has changed because of her, would you believe it?"

"This is a very long story... This story was told to me by your grandfather."

"The first time this woman appeared in front of everyone was during the Northern War 40 years ago, the 'Great Flood Era'." Frederick's eyes became farther away, "At that time, I was just born, and I was just a child who was just one month old. , your grandfather is pissed off by the war between Denmark and Sweden, and I hope you don't get caught up in the war between those two countries. But the whole North is already caught up in it, and no country can get out of it."

"One of my cousins ​​served as a general in the Danish army. That summer, King Karl X of Sweden led the troops and launched a fierce attack from Pomerania south of Brunburg, and soon arrived I went to Holstein on the Danish border. And my cousin was defeated in Helstein, broke up and fled... When the Swedish army was chasing him, the woman appeared."

"My cousin told me that he was about to be overtaken by the enemy cavalry and thought he was going to die. At this moment, he heard a singing."

"singing?"

"Yes, it sounded like singing from heaven, coming from far away in the wilderness..." Frederick showed a look of memory, "At that moment, in the whole wilderness, whether it was the fleeing Danish soldiers or the chasing and killing The Swedish cavalry fell silent."

"In my cousin's words, at that moment, he felt a strong love, as if God poured all the love into his body, he didn't want to run away, and he didn't even care about his own life anymore , there is no way to even have other thoughts in his mind."

Then he raised his head and saw a woman singing at the end of the wilderness...

"That woman saved his life?"

"Yes, saved his life and took his life."

"what?"

"Because the moment he raised his head and saw that woman, he fell in love with her and was willing to give up everything for her, including his country, reputation, family, and life..."

"The woman walked over from afar, and every step she took seemed to be dancing. The wind blew past her body, and a long red silk fluttered behind her, blinding the battlefield and me Cousin's eyes..."

"My cousin said that he saw countless soldiers kneeling down in front of her. Where she walked, everyone put down their weapons..."

"Like the legendary Helen?" Louise was fascinated. What kind of woman is that?
"Until she walked up to the King of Sweden, Karl X, and said something."

"The singing stopped, but no one fought anymore, and everyone just stared at her until she left."

"My cousin said that he survived, but he would rather die, because he would rather die than see her go..."
