night

Summer cicadas chirp non-stop, and fireflies fly and hover in the night.

In the sycamore forest at the northern end of the manor on the western outskirts of Marseille, a knight in black clothes and black trousers rode a black horse through the forest and approached the manor.

The knight was still some distance from the manor when he stopped holding on to the reins.

Then he rolled over and dismounted, led the horse to a secluded place and tied it to a plane tree, and after observing the surroundings, he sneaked like a manor.

Soon, the black-clad knight quietly embedded in the manor and disappeared behind the flower garden.

In his opinion, he acted very carefully and was not detected at all.

But what he didn't know was that when he had infiltrated the manor, not far from where he had stopped and dismounted, a small dirt bag loosened, and then a black figure rolled up from the dirt bag.

This is Wang Shan's genetic sentinels stationed on the periphery, and every night they dig a pit in the trees or in the ground to garrison them.

Therefore, it is normal for the black knight just now not to notice this situation.

After he rolled over, he followed the place where the black knight had walked, and also entered the manor.

He followed the man in black to the window where the Duke of Orleans lived.

"Lord Duke, this trip has fulfilled its mission, everything has been done. Now everyone is stationed three kilometers outside the manor, waiting for your order. ”

The black knight was one of the guards he had sent to contact his supporters.

After seeing this guard, a look of arrogance appeared on the face of the Duke of Orleans.

The sad look of the previous one was completely gone, as if it had never been there.

"Good! This is the day I have been waiting for, today is the fourth day, and tomorrow the sun rises will be the fifth day! We're going to paralyze Mary and the Americans, and I'm going to launch a surprise attack on them when I'm ready for the sixth day of the duel! ”

The Duke of Orleans said to the guard.

A genetic sentinel hiding outside the window. I kept their conversation in mind word for word.

The Duke of Orleans had no idea that his conversation with his men had already been heard.

He was now very excited, and said to the guard, "You will leave the manor in a moment and tell everyone about my plan." Let them rest for a day and launch an attack on time the morning after tomorrow. You must solemnly tell them this point, and don't forget it when you go. ”

"Good duke."

The Duke of Orleans then began to talk to the guard about some details.

This time. A guard subordinate to the Duke of Orleans patrolled from a distance.

Anyway, at this time, the gene people had almost heard what the Duke of Orleans said, so he left the place before he was discovered.

This news was reported to Wang Shan as soon as possible, and Wang Shan reported it to Zhao Hongyu.

"Wang Shan, it seems that the Duke of Orleans wants to serve us in a pot."

After listening to Wang Shan's report, Zhao Hongyu said with a gloomy face.

Wang Shan nodded: "Yes, this old guy has a lot of appetite." He wasn't afraid to burst his teeth. So, Your Highness, are we going to send someone to get rid of all these people on the periphery? ”

Wang Shan felt that at this time, they should strike first.

Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said to Wang Shan: "If you do it, will you startle the snake?" ”

What he was worried about was that if he sent troops. The sound of gunfire in a fight will alert the Duke of Orleans.

That's when things get troublesome.

Wang Shan understood what His Highness was worried about, and he smiled and replied, "Your Highness, what you are worried about is that if there is a fight over there, the sound of gunfire will alert the Duke of Orleans, right?" ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded. Admit that you do have concerns in this regard.

After Wang Shan identified what Zhao Hongyu was worried about, he smiled and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, what you are worried about is completely superfluous. Gene Man reported. The Duke of Orleans' men were stationed three kilometers from the manor. And the sound of flintlock guns would not have traveled so far at all. So we can kill them silently, and the old fellow Orleans won't even notice it. ”

Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment and felt that what Wang Shan said was also right. I was really too worried about this problem, after all, it was really unrealistic for the gunshots to come from such a distance.

"In that case, let's prepare and give a big gift to the Duke of Orleans." , Letting go of this burden in his heart, Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan with a gloomy expression.

"Your Highness, my plan is like this. Let's not start too early, we have to press the time. Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.

"When are you going to attack them?" , Zhao Hongyu asked curiously.

Wang Shan smiled evilly: "Deal with those people tomorrow night, doesn't the Duke of Orleans want to deal with us the morning after tomorrow." Then we'll kill them all to-morrow night, and when the Duke of Orleans finds that his preparations are useless, I think his expression will be very good. ”

Zhao Hongyu thought about it when he heard this, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he agreed to Wang Shan's opportunity.

"Your Highness, and we can still sneak attack at night, so that the enemy can solve them before they know it." , Wang Shan explained to Zhao Hongyu. "The Duke of Orleans thinks beautifully, he actually wants to kill us before the duel, his abacus beads are very good, but it's a pity that his target opponent is us."

Speaking of this, Wang Shan pursed his lips and was very disdainful.

"I'll have to tell Emma about this, now that the Duke of Orleans has broken the rules of the duel, there is no need for us to follow the rules of the duel. I can do fifteen when he is in the first year of junior high school, and I don't believe that I can't fight this old guy. ”

Zhao Hongyu hated Wang Shandao.

Wang Shan nodded when he heard this: "Yes, if he can do it, we can do it, it's just to see who has the best means." It's just that the people who want the Duke of Orleans to die don't know that it's us, and Queen Mary. And this time he didn't just want to kill us, he even counted Queen Mary among them, so he was fighting alone, wasn't he? Although this is in France, with 800 elite Janissaries, it is not so easy for the Duke of Orleans to deal with us. ”

"Alright, you send more men to keep an eye on the Duke of Orleans, and at the same time make inquiries about the perimeter, and it is better to make sure that the stations of his supporters are accurate, so that we don't miss anything, and now I will go to Emma, and then go and tell Mary about it."

After Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan finished talking, the two of them left separately.

According to Zhao Hongyu's instructions, Wang Shan secretly sent the genetic people to disperse and leave the manor to investigate and confirm the location of those subordinates in Orleans, as well as the accurate situation in the surrounding area.

After Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan separated, they came straight to Emma.

At this time, Emma and Sara had not slept yet, and the two of them were chatting.

Emma's maid, Papa, the duel protagonist of the day after tomorrow, is sitting next to Emma at this time, closing her eyes and recuperating.

Zhao Hongyu pushed open the door and walked in.

Emma and Sara stopped talking, and Papa opened her eyes to look.

"Hey, looking at your face, it seems that something is on your mind, is there something wrong?"

Emma asked first.

Sara looked at Zhao Hongyu with an inquiring gaze.

Papa didn't pay attention to so much, she continued to close her eyes after seeing that it was Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu walked between Sara and Emma and sat down.

"Duke of Orleans, this old guy is playing yin, he is going to send troops to kill us before the duel, his current approach has broken the rules of the duel, I plan to deal with him with a tooth for a tooth."

After sitting down, Zhao Hongyu told them everything that had happened.

Emma's little face turned cold, and she said in an unkind tone: "It's really unforgivable, this kind of practice is simply shameless." In that case, I won't ask you to continue to abide by the sacred rules of dueling. For such a person, it is best to let him know that he is powerful. ”

Zhao Hongyu said earlier that if the other party broke the rules first, then he didn't have to abide by the rules of the duel

Emma agrees with this.

And for Emma, breaking the sacred rules of duel is very despicable.

Sara said to Zhao Hongyu with some worry at this time: "After all, we are in France, this is the territory of the French, if we go too far, will it cause big trouble?" ”

Sara is not clear about the deal between Zhao Hongyu and Mary.

So, it's normal for her to have such worries.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu smiled: "It doesn't matter, the Duke of Orleans doesn't just want to kill us, he also wants to clean up Queen Mary at the same time." So, we can get Mary's support on this issue. And you don't know that Queen Mary also wants to take advantage of this duel to kill the Duke of Orleans. ”

The plan of each of them, Zhao Hongyu told Sara at this time.

"It's unexpected, it's so confusing." Sara sighed when she heard this, "But if Queen Mary is on our side, we don't have to worry too much." ”

"I'll tell you this kind of thing, you don't have to worry about solving the trouble of the Duke of Orleans. But just in case, I'm going to send you, Sarah, and the widows of the Samuel family on board to-morrow night. If there is a real accident, you will not be in any danger. ”

Zhao Hongyu plans to send both Emma and Sara to the Sea King in the port of Marseille before he makes his move.

In this way, he has no worries. (To be continued.) )
