"On the march... But why didn't I get the message? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The officer muttered quietly and frowned.

"Oh, the plan is still under wraps, only the senior generals know about it. The duke put on a high-minded appearance, straightened his chest, and looked at him coldly.

The officer was speechless, holding back resentment in his heart but not daring to speak, and was about to wave his hand to let him go, when he suddenly heard a male voice not far away, which seemed extremely loud in the quiet of the night.

"Is that Duke Tuckerman?" three points of surprise and seven points of surprise.

The duke chuckled in his heart, and slowly turned his head to look, feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Seeing who it was, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and squeeze out a reluctant smile: "General Drup... Hello. ”

"Haha, why are you so polite, we haven't seen each other in years, haven't we? I just came back from the northern rebellion half a month ago, and you know, the Vikings there are very fierce, and they are fearless heroes in legends. ”

"Yes," the Duke replied in embarrassment, and the cold wind of the night swept over his ears, making his expression even more stiff.

"Well, it's a little cold this day, why don't you go to my house and sit down, I have a friend who brought a fine wine from Italy, we can drink and chat~ I still remember the days when I fought around with you~"

"I—" Subconsciously, the Duke glanced at Brad, as if asking for help.

Obviously, the sudden appearance of his old friend, General Drup, was a great trouble.

Seeing that the duke was reluctant to agree, Drup understood what he meant, and grinned a little embarrassedly, wondering in his heart, knowing that they were once good friends who talked about everything.

In the cold wind, he inadvertently raised his eyes to look down the convoy, but he couldn't see the end.

"Well, it's a long line... Where are you going at this late hour? He asked casually.

In the presence of the officers defending the city, the duke had no choice but to reply: "The expedition plan is about to begin, and I have received an order to transport the stockpiled gunpowder out of the city and prepare to send it to the naval port for loading. ”

"I almost forgot, you're now the commander of the artillery unit and the Copenhagen arsenal. Drupp smiled, paused for a moment, but furrowed his brow in confusion: "Is the expedition about to begin, but why haven't I been notified?"

"You—" The Duke rolled his eyes, considering how to prevaricate.

However, for a moment he could not find any reason.

Drup was the king's most trusted general, and he was born into the royal family, which can be described as a pure lineage. Because of his brave and fierce fighting style, Drupp has successfully become a victorious general after countless battles, large and small, and the king will definitely send him first when there is a war.

If the expedition really begins, the elite legions commanded by Drup will inevitably be the number one vanguard, taking on the important task of overcoming obstacles and opening the way for the follow-up troops.

So Duke Tukman knew very well in his heart that even he had been notified, and it was impossible for Drupp not to know.

He pondered and pondered, his eyes rolled around, his heart swelled with unease, and he couldn't help pinching the cold sweat oozing from his palms.

"What's wrong with you, Tukman ?" Drupp looked at him with concern, as an old friend for many years, he had good trust in Tukman and didn't think of the other party in the worst way at all.

"It's okay," Duke Tukman raised the corners of his mouth unnaturally.

At this time, the officer guarding the city saw something strange, and with a tentative mentality, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Then Lord Duke, where are you going with such a large convoy at such a late hour? ”

The Duke subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and at this moment suddenly had the idea of telling the truth and asking for help, but in just an instant, this thought was suppressed.

Considering his daughter and the secret letter of collusion with the royal family, he had to endure it.

He turned his head, looked at Zheng Fei and Brad helplessly, and smiled bitterly.

"I really tried my best. ”

Zheng Fei and Brad glanced at each other, froze for a moment, and complained with resentment: "Oh my God, Tukman really shouldn't have been in the smuggling business with people like you, I can't even get this trouble." ”

"Let's go...... Private?" The Duke stared, not understanding what he meant for a moment.

"Didn't you say before that everything was arranged to leave Copenhagen smoothly, but now you have been stopped before you leave the city, I don't care, you have to compensate me for my losses, I won't do this business!" Zheng Fei said angrily, and threw off his horsewhip angrily.

The Duke stared at him without moving, and after a few seconds, he suddenly understood.

"Ahem..."The duke coughed dryly, and scratched his head in embarrassment in front of the officers and old friends guarding the city: "Okay, I'll send you the money tomorrow." ”

"Tukmman, my God, when did you start smuggling, and what are you smuggling?" Drupp scoffed.

"Drinks, wool, fox skins, everything..."Duke Tukman shook his head and sighed helplessly: "I know this is not good, but seeing that the expedition plan is about to begin, I will have no chance if I don't make some money now, I may die on the battlefield on this expedition, and I must leave enough property for my family." ”

Silent for a while, maybe it was empathy, Drup sighed faintly and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey man, stop blaming yourself, I'll keep it a secret for you, I think this officer should too, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at the officers guarding the city.

Facing the two prominent celebrities, the officer nodded and sneered hurriedly: "Of course, we shouldn't have seen it, but the Duke can't leave the city with this batch of goods, if something happens, all the soldiers of our city defenders will be put in prison." ”

Drup shrugged at Tukman and smiled sincerely: "Hear me, go back with your goods, I think you shouldn't be short of this money, if you really need it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Drup, I'll take them back with me now. Tukman raised an eyebrow gratefully.

He thought that the matter was over here, however, Zheng Fei would not give up easily.

This batch of gunpowder must be shipped out tonight, or there will be no more chance.

"Tukman you're such an unreliable fellow, and it's making me irritated. Zheng Fei's demeanor at this time was very similar to that of a smuggler who had been mixing between countries all year round, he pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and raised his eyes to look at Drupp in front of him and the soldiers guarding the city gate.

"On such a cold day, why don't you all come and have a few drinks, I have the best sherry made in southern Europe. He said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
