Chapter 118 Meeting the King of England
"My lord, you don't look very well. Did you not rest all night?" Possang asked with concern as he looked at Li Peijun's pale face.

Li Peijun is like a patient recovering from a serious illness. "I will never live in a place with a cross again. I am timid and prone to wild thoughts."

Posang smiled and said: "I never thought that Lord Lord would be afraid of something."

Through the bronze mirror, Li Peijun looked at his wrinkled skin, and the thick dark circles under his eyes were also engraved on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really like a giant panda, but it's also malnourished."

Norfolk County is located in the northeast corner of London, on the upper reaches of the Thames River. If he is not in a hurry, Li Peijun really wants to go back up by boat, enjoy the beautiful scenery and inspect the surrounding situation at the same time.

We passed through several counties on the way, and the local churches and monasteries were dominated by the secular aristocrats and traditional churches, and there were few Benedictines.In Sakford County, Li Peijun even saw two factions of monks fighting over the taxation of the city, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly urged everyone to take a detour.

"These monks, who are as strong as fat cows, seem to live a much more nourishing life than the priests in Norman's side, and they are also vigorous and powerful when they swing their wrists." Li Peijun joked.

Tas complained along the way, "I haven't seen a single female monk after walking for a long time. I must be in good shape after living such a comfortable life, hehehe."

"Hey, don't think about these people, and be careful to cause unnecessary trouble." Dorrent reminded.

Tass argued: "Oh, let's go after playing for a while. By the time they find us, we've already fled by boat. What are you afraid of?"

"Shut up and finish the business first." Stanley, the group leader, scolded.

Li Peijun hopes that things will be done more slowly now, lest these guys have time to spoil a good family.

After arriving in Norfolk, Passant searched around again and found out the exact location of the King of England—the Norwich Fortress in the suburbs.

"You bastard King of England, what are you doing hiding in this damn place?" the envoy who was traveling with him complained quietly.

The fortress was built on a high hill, and to get there, one had to first cross a swamp, pass through a dense forest, and finally climb up the slope to the top.

The appearance of the fortress looks like a cuboid tower, which is unbelievably square. The light yellow stone bricks have been eroded by wind and sand, and the edges and corners have been smoothed. The battlements are full of sentry points, which can be seen to be heavily guarded.

At the gate of the city, everyone's bags were searched inside and out. Everyone stood in line with their hands raised and waited for the search. It took half an hour just to enter the city gate.

"It's really troublesome. As for being so timid and overwhelmed?" Li Peijun was speechless about the strict security measures just now, but he was helpless.

"Maybe, there are many beautiful women hidden in the King's fortress. They are afraid of being snatched away, so they take strict precautions, hehehe." Tas said with a sinister smile.

Li Peijun sweated wildly, "This guy really talks about anything that can be related to women."

"There is a mission to meet the King of England."

Commander Li Pei breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the skill of friendship first to avoid anything going wrong in the future.

It was also troublesome when entering the inner city. The two sides tossed for a while, and after hearing the head of the regiment said that he was here to make a marriage, the guards went in and let them go.

The residence of the King of England is not so much a palace as a prison. The gloomy and gloomy environment makes people feel chills in the back. In fact, William the Conqueror did transform it into a prison for prisoners.

In the main hall, the King of England had been waiting for a long time, and Li Peijun could smell a little sweat from the air across the distance of an aisle.

Naturally, Posang's identity was not suitable for him to enter the palace to meet with the King of England. Only this group of envoys and Li Peijun met with the King of England.

Looking closely, the King of England is wearing a circular metal cap, and his body is wrapped in a red robe, revealing a white Qiunik tights and black cloth shoes on his feet. Sophisticated in color.

Flies hovered around him from time to time, and fleas were also looming among the shaggy brown hair, and his body exuded a foul smell.

No wonder this guy was called the sloppy king by later generations.

"You are Norman's envoys. Why are you looking for me?" The King of England said lazily. The guards are also ready.

"The Norman envoy represents the Principality of Normandy, and is willing to marry the King of England." The head of the group expressed his intention to come, and bowed deeply, and everyone accompanying him also saluted.

"Norman? I remember that Norman was founded by the Vikings." The King of England did not rush to discuss the marriage, but crossed his legs.

The head of the group nodded in agreement: "Yes, but we have integrated with the local area, and many habits have changed."

The King of England sneered, and a playful smile appeared on his face, "Aren't you still a Viking? Although I intend to reconcile with Norman, it's better to avoid marriage."

From the sentence, Li Peijun could tell that this guy still had a grudge against Norman. After all, Denmark and Denmark were both Vikings. In a few years, this guy Æthelred II would massacre the Danish immigrants in England.

The group leader still refused to give up and suggested: "Reconciliation and marriage at the same time will be more conducive to consolidating the relationship between the two."

The Queen of England leaned back on the back, unmoved, "There is no need for marriage, everyone has worked hard this trip, I will treat you well."

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, the head of the group had no choice but to bow and thank him, "Then thank you King Ying."

Li Peijun also secretly laughed in his heart. This guy is in the limelight now, and he doesn't listen to anyone's words. He won't think of marriage until he was beaten by Denmark and fled to Norman for refuge more than ten years later.

The banquets of the royal family are quite sumptuous, and the best wines and wines are of course a must. Fresh fruits are also frequent guests on the table. In addition to some marinated meat, there are also many freshly grilled roast meats. Li Peijun naturally had a full meal.

After the wine bag and food were full, everyone didn't want to wait any longer, so they had to run out of the fortress in despair.

"So, it didn't work out?" Possant looked at the hurried expressions on everyone's faces, feeling ominous.

Li Peijun nodded, "It can't be said that everything has failed. The King of England at least promised to reconcile with Norman, but the marriage is not settled."

"That's because he's unlucky, we Norman women are great, tsk tsk, I can't help but do it when I think about it." Tas interjected.

"The matter is considered finished now, and it seems that the return trip is ahead of schedule." Possant suggested.

Li Peijun didn't gain much from this journey, and he seemed a little unwilling to leave like this.

Before Li Peijun could speak, Tass said forcefully again: "Why don't you go? Didn't you say that you can finish your work and play with women? It's not too late to go after playing for a day or two."

The other people also wanted to stay in Britain for two more days. Anyway, they still had a lot of pennies left, which was not wasted. This also catered to Li Peijun's wishes, so they acquiesced.

"Just take a walk, you might gain something." Li Peijun comforted himself.
