Chapter 791 More Than a Dozen Great Xia Dynasty Carriages
"The waiter spilled his drink on my dress, and Constance was in the restroom cleaning it up for me, which is why it was delayed."
Louis XIV glanced at Constance.
The little girl nodded.
“Constance, you accompany Her Majesty the Queen back first. I still have some matters to attend to here.” Louis XIV’s face was grim.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Constance followed Queen Anna out of the private room.
The final act of the opera slowly came to a close.
Jiang Tian: "It was a very pleasant conversation with you today, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now."
"Could you accompany me to see the cardinal?" Louis XIV extended an invitation.
"Can……"
Jiang Tian followed Louis XIV out of the opera house.
The two of them got into the carriage.
Throughout the journey, Jiang Tian and Louis XIV chatted amiably.
Louis XIV was a timid and indecisive man; he was always fussy and long-winded when discussing anything.
Sure enough, just as Constance said, this guy was a complete coward.
We arrived outside the cardinal's castle.
The guards quickly went to report.
Louis XIV alighted from his carriage and immediately spotted Jiang Tian's car.
“When I came here, I heard people say that you drove this horseless car into the city.”
Louis XIV walked up to Jiang Tian's car and showed great interest in it.
This guy walked around the car again and again.
He even reached out and patted and touched it from time to time.
"Not bad, not bad. Could you show it to me?" Louis XIV was indulging in frivolous pursuits; this guy was no good at being a king.
However, he is very good at making small crafts.
“No problem.” Jiang Tian opened the car door and let Louis XIV sit in the passenger seat.
As soon as Louis XIV entered, he started touching this and that.
This guy is interested in everything.
Jiang Tian walked around to the driver's seat.
After he got into the car, he quickly started it.
A series of sputtering motor noises could be heard.
When Louis XIV heard this, his eyes widened.
Jiang Tian cooperated effectively and shifted into gear.
He gently pressed the accelerator.
The vehicle sped forward.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tian executed a drift, and Louis XIV's body was squeezed into the seat next to him due to the enormous inertia.
Jiang Tian's car made a sharp 180-degree turn.
Immediately afterwards, he slammed on the gas pedal, and a tremendous surge of acceleration came over him.
The vehicles roared out of the city.
Louis XIV was shocked. He had ridden in carriages for half his life, but Jiang Tian's carriage gave him a great sense of novelty.
They arrived outside the city.
Jiang Tian's car darted left and right at an extremely high speed.
A gust of wind blew in, causing Louis XIV's hair to bounce upwards.
Louis XIV gripped the car's handles with both hands, though he was utterly shocked.
But he kept his eyes fixed on the distance.
It took him a good ten minutes to get used to it.
"Wow, this is a really nice car. I've never ridden in such a nice car in my life."
Louis XIV told Jiang Tian to drive the car faster.
After Jiang Tian's car sped off, it headed southwest.
Louis XIV's guards were terrified.
They all mounted their horses and followed Jiang Tian's carriage out of the imperial city.
However, these dozen or so horses were quickly left far behind.
"Who exactly was that guy just now?"
Where is he taking His Majesty the King?
“Your Majesty, if anything happens to us, we will all be implicated.”
"This carriage is going way too fast; we can't keep up with it on horseback at all."
The dozen or so guards kept complaining.
However, they dared not be negligent.
They followed the king's chariot southwestward.
The faster they ran forward, the more horrifying the sight became.
These people knew that thousands of ships were present in the nearby waters.
Moreover, these ships most likely belong to the Duke of Buckingham.
The fact that these ships had appeared in the nearby waters led Buckingham Palace to believe that a million-strong army was very likely to launch a landing operation.
If Louis XIV had gone any further and been captured, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
These people cursed and ranted as they chased after the vehicle, but the distance between them and the vehicle kept increasing.
Louis XIV leans out to look behind him.
He hadn't expected them to run so fast.
In less than 20 minutes, they could no longer see the cavalry behind them.
Louis XIV was full of praise for Jiang Tian's car.
“Mr. Jiang, you stay in Frankfurt and be responsible for teaching me how to drive this kind of vehicle.”
Jiang Tian shook his head after hearing this.
“Your Majesty, my car is priceless.”
"Even if it's priceless, I'll use all the resources in the country to buy your car. Tell me, how much are you willing to sell it for?"
Last night, the Duke of Buckingham showed great interest in his car.
Today, Louis XIV remains interested in his cars.
"If I were to sell this car, it would fetch at least tens of millions of gold coins."
"Okay, it's a deal then."
"It's just 10 million gold coins, I'll give it to you."
"Do you have that much money?" Today, we know that Frank's financial power is now in the hands of the cardinal.
The cardinal just gave himself 10 million gold coins.
Where did Louis XIV get so much money for himself?
