I don't know why, but Xiao Letian always feels like his soul is being spied on when facing Princess Sissi. This woman is very powerful, not at all as innocent as historical records say. Long?tan?book?net
Princess Sissi can guess what Xiao Letian is thinking, and every word she says can hit Xiao Letian's weakness.
Is the Dodo Nature Reserve really just a game for the rich? Princess Sissi didn't think so. She admitted that Xiao Letian was very rich and had enough money to buy the entire Siberia, including Australia.
But no matter how much money politicians have, not all of it belongs to them. The funds they can use belong to the entire organization, the entire Chinese group.
Two to three hundred thousand pounds may not seem like much, but it is enough to build half a Zhiyuan. The Chinese are just starting out and can’t waste any money, so Princess Sissi is sure that Xiao Letian wants to buy Mauritius, so it is very likely that she will As Benjamin guessed, he wanted to find a foothold in the Indian Ocean.
But why did Xiao Letian want to build such a base in the distant Indian Ocean? Being trapped behind enemy lines and lacking supplies is completely an enclave. If a war breaks out, it will immediately become an isolated island. From a military perspective, it is a desperate situation.
Princess Sissi could only guess half of Xiao Letian's strategic intentions, but the more she guessed half of it and didn't understand the other half, the more curious she became.
If a woman becomes curious about a man, it will be difficult to deal with it. Curiosity killed the cat, and many ambiguous stories started from curiosity.
Since the first state banquet, Princess Sissi has stepped up her intelligence collection work on the Chinese. Although the strategic focus of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not on China, after all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also one of the top powers in Europe. As long as it makes great efforts You can still find a lot of useful information.
But the more she learned about Xiao Letian's past, the more curious Princess Sissi became. Her desire to explore was like a wildfire in the winter wilderness that burned brightly and could not be extinguished.
Originally, Princess Sissi had not planned to stay in the UK for such a long time, but because of the presence of the Eastern Envoy, she stopped. During this time, he was often with Fang Guan, and he learned a lot about the Chinese people through insinuations. .
The more I got to know Xiao Letian, the more I realized that his steps in the UK were so perfect, and his cooperation with Gladstone was even more seamless, until in the end even Benjamin, who had a deep foundation, was forced to step down.
Princess Sissi could guess almost everything about the riots in Dublin with a woman's intuition, and Xiao Letian was definitely behind it.
As her admiration for Xiao Letian grew day by day, her curiosity grew like wild grass in her heart. Until finally she couldn't control her emotions and took the initiative to go find him to find out. This is how she ended up in front of Stonehenge today. of this chance encounter.
Although Xiao Letian is not afraid of Benjamin's frame-up in the newspaper, he also knows that this is Benjamin's desperate struggle, and it is just an act to maintain his own face.
But it always feels uncomfortable to be scolded by others, and once this kind of accusation is publicized too much, it will definitely affect the judgment of some melon-eaters, so it would be great to have Princess Sissi come forward to clarify.
Xiao Letian walked to the Stonehenge and looked up at the sky above, as if his thoughts flew through time and space to the distant ancient times three or four thousand years ago. In the dark, he seemed to hear the sound of drums and the primitive people worshiping around the Stonehenge. The gods in their hearts.
"In the early 12th century, there was a legend circulating in Britain. In the 5th century AD, Merlin, King Arthur's court wizard, used divine power to transport Stonehenge from Ireland. The purpose of building Stonehenge was that Merlin planned to commemorate it with an eternal monument. King Arthur’s Men.”
"Of course this is nonsense. I don't believe in any magic power, but it is undeniable that this kind of huge building that has no direct connection with life must be related to some kind of religious belief of ancient people... …”
Stroking the rough boulder, Xiao Letian suddenly turned to look at Princess Sissi and asked, "Do you know how ancient humans divided beasts and humans? Of course, I want to ask first, do you believe Mr. Darwin's theory?" ?”
Princess Sissi frowned, "Oh, God, I am a devout Catholic. Of course I don't believe in the stupid idea of natural evolution, but I also think his theory has some truth. The environment should be able to affect the changes of species. of……"
"Does this have anything to do with Stonehenge?" Princess Sissi asked in confusion.
Xiao Letian smiled after hearing this, "Since you don't reject it as much as possible, then my story can continue... Let's first assume that Mr. Darwin's theory of the origin of species is correct. Suppose that humans evolved bit by bit from apes. Yes, I mean hypothetical!”
"So what is the dividing line between apes and humans? What kind of ape is considered a beast, and what kind of ape is considered a primitive human being?"
This question was so novel that Princess Sissi’s eyes suddenly lit up, “It’s very interesting, I’d like to hear more about it!”
"Mr. Darwin said that the difference between beasts and humans is the ability to use tools, but we all know that in nature, many beasts can also use tools, such as sea otters and marmots, which will use stones to knock shells to eat the meat inside... "
"Gorillas even use twigs to dip honey from the hive, so how can you say that using tools is the dividing line between beasts and humans?"
"Okay, I won't be too pretentious. I personally think, just my personal opinion, that the important dividing line between beasts and humans is not a tool, but religion..."
"Religion?" Princess Sissi asked in confusion.
Xiao Letian nodded, "Yes, it's religion... Do you know how religion came about? I can tell you clearly that religion comes from human beings' understanding of death!"
"Actually, this theory is very simple. Think about it carefully. In nature, what kind of creature would have some understanding and research on life and death?"
"Only humans, only humans!"
"The life of a wild beast is nothing more than the desire for food and the instinct of reproduction. They have no concept of time, let alone wondering where life comes from and where it will go..."
"Beasts just spend every day in confusion until death approaches, and only humans think about the end of life, that is, death, in their youth and prime of life..."
"Human beings' thinking and research on life and death are the original power of religion. To put it simply, funeral rituals are the earliest sprouts of primitive religion in mankind!"
Princess Sissi's eyes suddenly lit up. She never expected that this magical oriental man would have so much information in his belly.
"You...where did your strange theory come from?"
