Margaret was undoubtedly a very beautiful woman, proud, strong, and dissolute.

It would have been better if she hadn't been so fond of drilling into the barracks.

This forced him to be angry at his lover's surprise attacks every time, and ordered her to be taken to the courtyard outside the city: "Margot, I have said many times that women are not allowed to enter the barracks, and you ...... Did you go back to Agen for lunch and come back? ”

In Bilbao's courtyard against the coast, Margaret covered her mouth and laughed like a little hen that only lays eggs, and in a crisp whisper, she turned around, leaned in front of Chen Jiujing and shook her head, "I didn't have lunch." ”

"I couldn't sleep at the thought of not seeing you, so I asked the servant to drive the carriage back."

Margaret said, carrying the skirt and turning around beside Chen Jiujing, and finally gently lifted the corner of the skirt towards the window on the sea.

"Why don't you let me see your soldiers, I like them...... Aren't we? ”

It's a pity that Chen Jiujing didn't respond to the dazzling sunlight outside the window, and said with an ascetic face: "It's daytime, be serious." Two options, either give me a lesson or just stay in the house and wait for me to come back from the camp in the evening. ”

It seemed that he noticed that his tone was heavier, and it was not suitable for treating Margaret, who had been walking on the road for more than ten days, Chen Jiujing softened his tone and added: "The recruit has been training for four months, and the weather is getting cold, and all he can do in the future is running, so he needs to be tested today." This is important for the army, only learning is more important than this. ”

The 'learning' referred to by Chen Jiujing is to understand the intricacies of France and even Europe through Margot.

There have been several times like this, and this is actually what Margo hates the most, when it comes to business, Margo put away the spring love on his face, revealing an inquiring look, as if he wants to find something on Chen Jiujing's face, and said: "My general, what makes you so studious?" We've studied a few times, but you still can't clearly distinguish between the four Henrys, let alone my more family. ”

Chen Jiujing proudly raised his chin, slowly paced to the table and sat down, raised two fingers and said, "But I can already distinguish between two, one is your king brother who has bad taste and loves to wear women's clothes, Henry Valois; The other is your husband of the King of Navarre, Henry Navarre, who is full of the potential of a wise monarch but has many lovers. ”

"The other two are...... Come to think of it! ”

Chen Jiujing frowned as if he was reciting a question, meditated, kept searching for memories on the table, and finally raised his eyebrows, and said: "Henry of Lorraine, Duke of Guise, and Henry Bourbon, Prince of Condé, the brother of King Navarre. ”

Margaret watched Chen Jiujing slowly think about it and finally said the answer, relieved like a mother who saw that her stupid son would finally call his mother, she couldn't stop applauding, and finally shook her head with a smile and said: "For now, it is enough for the general to know about these two Henry, my brother is jealous of my peaceful life, and he wants to ruin my life in order to eliminate my influence." ”

"So he wrote to my husband about my affair with my husband's trusted vassal, Viscount Tyrenne, in order to expose my infidelity."

Margaret told one of her lovers about herself and another lover as if she were talking about someone else's business, and was reported by her brother, turned around and sat on a chair and fiddled with the cigarette and lighter that Chen Jiujing put on the lacquered wooden plate on the table, lit the fire and said: "This thing is really exquisite, your father-in-law designed it?" It's amazing. ”

"Navarre didn't let him get what he wanted, and he could forgive me, just as I could forgive him; Ser Tyrrenne did not admit it, believing that it was a malicious slander by the king who was unwilling to pay my dowry to the kingdom, the city of Cahors. ”

"It's a good excuse for war, isn't it? My brother has bad intentions towards me, and he wants to ruin my life, and I will ruin his kingdom; Narva is the most lustful, and one of my maids, Miss Fersa, is his lover, and she can persuade Navarre to fight for me......"

Halfway through Margaret's speech, Chen Jiujing already felt a headache and raised his hand to stop it.

"Wait!"

The amount of information was too much, Chen Jiujing couldn't accept it a little, and asked: "You have a maid who is the lover of your husband Navarre, and you use this maid to blow the pillow wind on your husband?" ”

Moreover, the pillow wind of a maid can make them go to war again?

Marguerite took all this for granted, nodded and did not answer, but smiled instead: "On the way back to Agen, I met the servant who came from Agen to tell me the news, and immediately let the carriage come back, of course, it doesn't matter whether there is a war or not...... The main thing is to miss you. ”

Chen Jiujing was noncommittal, and being stationed in Europe for more than half a year had already let him know that no one was telling the truth completely in their mouths, especially Margaret.

But he didn't care about this trivial matter, and stretched out his hands and asked, "So, now France is at war again?" ”

"Yes, it's a war!"

Marguerite was excited not to look like a Frenchman, nodded her head a few times, got up and raised her smooth neck, tiptoed step by step and walked half up behind Chen Jiujing, wrapped her arms around his neck and pointed on the map on the table, and said: "Narva intends to agree that all parts of the Protestant Church will raise troops at the same time in April next year, but the leaders have not kept the agreement. ”

Margo blew in Chen Jiujing's ear, and at the same time took his hand across most of the map, stopped two hundred miles north of Paris, and drew a line to the east: "Navarre's cousin, Prince of Condé, Henry, acted first and led his troops to capture the fortress of Picardy La Fair, which could be used as a passage for German mercenaries to enter France." ”

"Soon Condé went back to Germany to recruit troops, and on Christmas Eve General Mailer landed in the city of Mount in Jevodan and Montecourt in Lower Poitu to surrender to Baumière, both of whom were Protestants."

Margaret was overjoyed when she said this, and it was difficult for Chen Jiujing to find so much brilliance and desire for war in the eyes of a woman: "The latest news is that Navarre will attack Cahor next spring...... By the way, that's your winter. ”

Winter raids?

There would be some suffering, but it was a good way for Henry of Navarre to offset the Protestants' lack of troops.

If a few cities are uprooted before the royal family reacts, especially Cahors, who is married to the Kingdom of Navarre as a dowry, it will not hurt to fight and Henry of Navarre.

Seeing that the news was difficult to arouse Chen Jiujing's interest, Marguerite leaned her head closer and said softly with demagoguery: "In this upcoming war, as long as you lead the army to Bordeaux, even if you don't do anything, everyone will spare no effort to win you over, and you can join either side according to the commission they offer, and increase your influence." ”

Margot said sweetly: "The vase in France is going to break, everyone wants to pick up a few more pieces, and you should be no exception." ”

Chen Jiujing smiled lightly, spread his hand on the table, and said: "Just last month, a monk in Spain suggested that I marry you in order to get the inheritance of the King of France, and later I learned that he lied to me, although the king has no heirs, but you also have a younger brother of the Duke of Anjou; But it doesn't matter. ”

"The important thing is that you always afflict me in this way: to tell me what you are hiding for your purposes, and to make ridiculous suggestions to me with ideas that are beneficial to you."

"If I were a mercenary, no one in Europe would be able to pay my commission; If I am a vassal, and the supreme light of my allegiance to your Majesty shines all over the world, who in Europe can match it? I can take what I want, and I don't have to ask for help from others—I hate Philip for treating me like this. ”

Margo's hand around Chen Jiujing's neck gradually loosened stiffly, she didn't expect that Chen Jiujing was very different from the lovers she had seen in the past, and what made her feel even more humiliated was that Chen Jiujing didn't seem to care about the benefits of her identity at all.

There is nothing that every lover doesn't care about, even if they don't say it, but power is the best aphrodisiac, who hasn't wanted to have wishful thinking, hoping that he would divorce and marry him, and become a French dignitary?

Everybody thinks that, why wouldn't you?

Chen Jiujing still had an ascetic face, but raised his chin slightly by half an inch: "If you want me to do something in this war, or what do you want me to achieve for you—please me." ”
