A few days later, Xu Shaotang went to England with the old man.
Before going to England, he took time to go to longzu.
I have a hunch that there will be no peace in England this time. The old man's security personnel have also increased. In addition to Xu Shaotang and others, there are long Fei and Tantai Jingming. Even WuJie has been temporarily arrested by Xu Shaotang.
It can be said that the security personnel of this time almost concentrated the most luxurious lineup that Huaxia can give at present.
From the moment when the special plane landed at the British airport, everyone's nerves were tense. Only WuJie, like a nobody, still kept the appearance of idleness. Xu Shaotang almost pulled that guy over and beat him up several times.
The cabin door of the special plane was opened, and the people sent by the British side had been waiting there.
These are twelve Knights riding on white high horse. Their clothes are between traditional and modern. They not only keep the standard guard of honor of knights, but also don't lack the sense of reality because their clothes are too retro.
The twelve Knights stood in two rows, six on the left and six on the right. Each Knight kept a solemn look and stood his knightly knife on his chest to perform the most standard knightly etiquette to the old man. Their movements were neat and uniform, and even the white horse under them kept the same posture under the control of the knight.
"Knights of the round table?"
Seeing this scene, Xu Shaotang, who is protecting the old man to get off the plane, can't help muttering to himself.
Judging from the performance of these knights, they should belong to the oldest and most powerful British army, the Knights of the round table.
There are many legends about round table knights, but almost all of them depict them as representatives of justice and power. When Xu Shaotang was still Canglong, he once fought with a round table knight. Although he experienced some twists and turns, he finally defeated the round table Knight named dagonet.
From what he learned, the Knights of the round table should have the same status in Britain as the dragon group in China. They are all people who perform special tasks.
In modern times, round table knights' horses and cavalry swords play a more image role. In the actual combat process, they will change into modern soldiers' equipment.
Wu Jie, who followed Xu Shaotang, asked in a low voice, "what round table knight?"
"The dragon of England!" Xu Shaotang thinks that this answer should be enough to solve the puzzle in Wu Jie's heart.
When the old man stepped down from the special plane, the knight standing in the front turned over and dismounted, saluted the old man and said in a high voice: "Dear Sir, welcome to England."
The old man said thank you to the knight with a smile.
"I'm the knight's captain, junien. I'm going to welcome you to the palace as the queen has ordered. The queen has prepared a welcome dinner for you." Said Jeanine, the knight's chief.
Hearing junien's words, the entourage showed their anger one after another. Xu Shaotang, who was standing beside the old man, was also full of anger on his face. He gazed at the knight commander who was half taller than him and said with a sullen look: "is this the way of hospitality in your country?"
"What do you mean?" Junien looks at Xu Shaotang in bewilderment.
Xu Shaotang hummed coldly: "go back and tell your queen to meet him in person!"
According to international practice, when the top leaders of China come to London, they need to be personally welcomed by the top leaders of the British side. This is the most basic etiquette and a kind of respect for the guests. Now the British side has sent only twelve knights to meet them. The contempt in the middle is too obvious.
(this Britain is different from each other, only the queen does not have a prime minister, we all know the reason, so we will not explain it any more)
it is understandable that if the queen has something to do with delaying the reception time, but the queen even does not show up, which is really unreasonable.
Although it's not a big deal, it's also related to China's national system. Even if it's a small matter, we must not give up. Otherwise, we will let the countries attending the London summit see China's jokes?
For example, when the queen of England goes to China, if she sends Longfei to meet them with several members of the dragon group, it is estimated that Britain will also think that Huaxia is suspected of beating them in the face.
Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, junien, who knew he was wrong, said: "I'm very sorry. Originally, the queen came to meet her in person, but something happened. Please don't mind. "
" if the queen has no time, ask your prince or princess to come over! " The old man looked at junien lightly and said, "we don't mind these empty rites, but it's about the national system. We can't give in!"
Although there was no anger in the old man's words, it had a taste that could not be discussed.
As he said, no matter how small a matter is, it is a big matter. What they represent now is not themselves, but the whole of China.
Hearing the old man's words, junien was in a dilemma, but it was obvious that he couldn't do it now. He quickly went to one side, picked up the phone and reported to the top.
Soon, junien, who got the instructions above, came up and said respectfully, "Prince Richard is on his way. Please wait a moment.""Yes!" The old man nodded slightly and agreed to the compromise.
Xu Shaotang went to the old man's side and said, "there are many people at the airport. For the sake of safety, you should go back to the plane first."
After all, they are in foreign countries. They have to be very careful in every move. This security task can't make any mistakes.
The old man nodded and returned to the plane under the escort of golden tiger and iron leopard.
Without the presence of the old man, Xu Shaotang did not have so many scruples. Looking at junien, he asked, "are you the Knights of the round table?"
"Yes." Junien nodded and asked Xu Shaotang, "are you Huaxia dragon group?"
Whether it is the Knights of the round table or the dragon group, gambling is no secret in the world. The dragon group knows the existence of the Knights of the round table, and the Knights of the round table also know the existence of the Chinese dragon group. Compared with ninjas and powers, round table knights don't have much time to fight with the dragon group, but occasionally they will face each other in the execution of tasks, so they can be regarded as opponents.
Although he was not a member of the dragon group, Xu Shaotang didn't bother to explain to them the identities of all the people here, so he nodded and recognized their identities.
"By the way, you are the Knight Chief. You should know a man named dagonet?" Xu Shaotang asked tentatively.
"Of course!" Junien nodded: "dagonet is the man we worship. Why do you know dagonet? "
Xu Shaotang nodded and said with a smile, "of course I know him. I used to drink with him when I was on a mission."
"What a coincidence." "What's your name?" he said with a smile. "I'll tell dagonet about your arrival later. I think he will be very happy."
