Ludwig II stood condescendingly on the terrace of Neuschwanstein Castle, looking at the motorcade circling up at the foot of the mountain.
The king never expected that the Chinese would send such a large envoy! There were as many as 12 palace carriages used by high-ranking officials.
In addition, there were nearly 300 Eastern soldiers, wearing pure Western-style military uniforms, guarding the inside of the envoy team. Their proud chins were almost raised to the sky.
He was even surprised to see his own palace guards, with a hint of awe in their eyes when facing these tough Eastern warriors!
Soldiers always cherish each other. They can tell at a glance in the crowd who is an elite soldier and who is just a new recruit.
The murderous aura of these guards of the Chinese head of state was so strong that the strong smell of blood made Ludwig II, who had never been on a battlefield, feel uneasy!
"How disgusting! Letting such a group of barbaric soldiers step into my pure swan palace is simply a defilement!" the king said in a low voice.
"Dear Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. No matter how much you hate these guys, they are still the first leaders of Eastern countries to visit Europe in human history! The respect you deserve is still there..."
Ludwig II's palace guard chief whispered from the side. But unexpectedly, this kind reminder would lead to a rebuke from Ludwig II!
"Remember your identity, I am the king of Bavaria! It's not your turn to dictate here! Send the order and say that my palace is too small to hold so many troops, and let the Chinese soldiers stand outside the castle Rest in the villages and towns!”
"It seems that this Xiao Letian is very insecure! He actually brought so many troops to escort him along the way. Doesn't he believe in our Bavarian warriors?"
When the chief of the palace guard heard this, his face turned pale with fright. He didn't know how to persuade the king, but he knew very well that if Xiao Letian's guards were prevented from entering the Swan Castle, it would definitely trigger a serious diplomatic conflict.
For a national leader of Xiao Letian's level, a guard of around 00 people is not much at all. But this reason cannot be explained to the king. The chief of the palace guard can see that His Majesty is in a very bad mood today.
At this time, there was probably only one person who could persuade the king. The palace guard ran down the terrace with rapid strides.
Not three minutes later, a middle-aged man hurriedly came to the king's side.
"Wagner? My dear friend, didn't you arrange the opera performance for today's lunch? How come you have time to come to me?"
The visitor's name was Wilhelm Richard Wagner, a famous German composer and classical music master at that time.
This is a pivotal figure in the history of German opera. This famous composer was born in Leipzig. Now it has received full support from the King of Bavaria.
The king favored the artist so much that the playwright could come and go at will even in his palace.
People in later generations may only remember the artistic achievements of this famous composer and opera singer, but in this era, in the hearts of the people of Bavaria, this Wagner had an unclear relationship with their young king.
Rumors of an affair between the king and the playwright were always circulating on the streets of Munich. Some people even said that if the king could get rid of this habit, he would be one of the greatest kings in German history.
It's a pity that Ludwig II never heard the voices of the people, and no one dared to spread such rumors to his ears.
Wagner smiled and said to the king, "My most respectful Majesty! I think there is something that you should be very interested in..."
He pointed at the convoy of vehicles stretching up the winding road at the foot of the mountain, and said in a low voice, "According to colleagues who have traveled in Asia, it is on Ryukyu, that treasure island in the Western Pacific. The head of state of the East is building A huge museum said to be the largest in the world!”
“The head of state has stated in public more than once that his museum will surpass the greatest Library of Alexandria in human history and become the iconic building of this century!”
"Dear Your Majesty, it can be seen that this head of state from the East, like you, also respects culture and art. I think you should give him the respect he deserves!"
"Oh! Are you telling the truth? It seems that I did have some misunderstandings about him. Well, I will change my order so that the guards of the Eastern Head of State can be in the square in the Swan Castle rest!"
"But those soldiers' leather boots must not step into my palace..."
While talking, Xiao Letian's motorcade had gradually approached the gate of the castle. At this moment, on the castle wall, the palace trombonists played a cheerful welcome song in unison.
The melodious trombone sound echoed in the Alps, and countless birds soared into the sky with the sound, flying in the valley like white clouds.
"Salute..." Following the command of the palace guard chief, the guards on both sides of the castle gate collectively drew their swords and raised their swords, looking at the motorcade and saluting the distinguished guests in the distance!
The carriages rolled over the stone floor with a roar, and one after another drove into the gate of Hohenschwangau Castle between the two human walls.
When the carriage stopped, Xiao Letian jumped off the carriage. Taking a deep breath of the crisp air in the Alps, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. He looked around and sighed to himself, "These Bavarians really know how to play. This scenery is really beautiful!"
"Dear Head of State, welcome to your arrival. His Majesty the King is waiting for you in the Knights Hall!" Wagner quickly ran down the steps.
When Prince Liutpod looked at the person, his brows wrinkled slightly involuntarily.
I thought that this nephew was really ignorant. He actually asked an actor to come to greet such a big diplomatic occasion?
The prince glanced at Xiao Letian secretly, and then looked up at his nephew on the terrace. On such an occasion, he could not show any flaws.
"Führer, let me introduce to you. This is Germany's most famous music master, Wilhelm Richard Wagner. He is now the royal composer of the Bavarian royal family..."
"The fact that he came out to greet you means that our king must have arranged the best drama for you during the luncheon. We owe this blessing to you!"
Xiao Letian stretched out his hand to shake the visitor's hand, and said with a faint smile, "I've admired your name for a long time! I like your creation Twilight of the Gods the most. Your imagination has reached the limit of human beings..."
"Oh! I didn't expect that the Führer is actually an expert! I don't know, Führer, which scene in that opera is your favorite?"
