In Fei Xuechun's view, the competition between Tang Zhangwei and Tang Zhaozong had an impact on his business.

However, this impact is still not as big as the cosmetics brought by the Eastern Roman Empire, those cosmetics of the Eastern Roman Empire, and all kinds of things, the things sold by the merchants of the Eastern Roman Empire are true and fake, but these people are all chattering by gods, and they are stunned by the people of the Tang Dynasty, and those people have entered the trap of the bigwigs of the Eastern Roman Empire.

For example, one of Tang Zhangwei's right-hand men, his wife was also fooled by those merchants of the Eastern Roman Empire.

In fact, that Bao Haizao's husband can easily see through almost all scams. It's a pity that Bao Haizao always doesn't believe it, and on the contrary, he always sneers at her husband.

Tang Zhangwei left Mrs. Combe and went home. When I entered the door, I found Queen He in the room, her face was pale and motionless. Tang Zhangwei smiled bitterly and walked towards Empress He, when he was about to come to him. Empress He stretched out a hand and knelt in front of him with a thud.

"Forgive me," said Empress He, "please forgive me, Tang Zhangwei?" I am the one who brought you here, and I am the one who has done such a chore for you. If you have three longs and two shorts, then I have hurt you. I'm selfish, I just want to think about myself and others. Leave me alone, you go! ”

Tang Zhangwei gently helped Empress He up.

"Leave it to me!" Tang Zhangwei was taken aback, "I can't do it!" Queen He, I can't do it! I respect you so much, I swear that I will protect you and rescue you. If I can't save you, I don't want to live. ”

"Tang Zhangwei, what you said is from your heart? Don't hesitate? Don't regret it? ”

"Of course." Tang Zhangwei said with a smile.

"Thank you, my good friend, thank you. You know, I cherish this life, and I will dedicate it to you today without complaint, because I only know today that you have helped me. If someone else can give you money, can't my possessions belong to you? Others can give you love, is there a woman in the world who loves you like me? Can others make you a knight? Beware, someone is going to attack you: simply, we will recruit our own troops, stock up on guns and ammunition, and go all out to save ourselves and defend ourselves. What about me, I fight for my love; What about you, you fight for your honor. So you must defeat them, my brave Tang Zhangwei, and you must let the queen herself say that you are the bravest of her officers and soldiers. As for your question, I'll be responsible. You will be developed and famous in the future, whether you want me or not, whatever you want. I'm going to talk about it from memories. Empress He said as she looked at Tang Zhangwei, expecting Tang Zhangwei to react to her words. Women have always demanded an answer to exaggerated words, that is to say, a passionate and bizarre reply. But Tang Zhangwei lowered his head sadly.

"Empress Ho," he said, "as long as I am on St. George's Island, you will never suffer a loss, you will never be wronged." Relax, you have nothing to worry about. ”

"Thank you," said Empress Ho, "though that's not all I wanted. Then he whispered:

"Alas! I'm finished, he doesn't love me. ”

Tang Zhangwei suddenly found that Empress He's red-hot eyes were as bright as lightning, and her face instantly turned pale indicating that there was unspeakable pain in her heart.

"Let's just be good to the end," Tang Zhangwei thought to himself, "otherwise it will be too unpleasant." ”

"Come here, Empress He," said Tang Zhangwei, "come here, my friend." Grab your hat, put on your coat, and go out to blow the evening breeze good for you. I could be attacked at any time, and I had to go on a night watch.

When Queen He heard this, her heart blossomed. According to Tang Zhangwei's instructions, put on a coat and hat, and went to patrol the night with him.

Tang Zhangwei is a veritable military strategist. He joined the army almost as a hairy child, and he did serious research on the war, so he not only went out on patrol as a commander, but also went down as an engineer to instruct. Seeing him coming, the officers and men thought that the chief had come to inspect him, and they were questioned about the offensive and defensive strategies one after another, and they all regarded this young man as an experienced commander; The senior officers spoke to him with awe. There was only one thing they had to say about him: they were soft-tongued when they gave orders, and they were excessively polite during interrogations. They suspect that this politeness hides the cowardice of their hearts. Everyone felt that there was a great enemy, and the commander's instructions were carried out quickly and in a timely manner, so that the officers and men could understand each other. An engineering corps had arrived during the day. Tang Zhangwei ordered the construction of the fortifications to begin immediately. Empress He wanted to drag Tang Zhangwei back to the fortress to rest and prevent him from staying up late, but she couldn't. Tang Zhangwei continued his night patrol without saying anything, and even she politely sent away. Subsequently, Tang Zhangwei sent three or four more scouts. They were all recommended to Tang Zhangwei by the lieutenant, and they had done a good job under the lieutenant. After Tang Zhangwei arranged to stop, he returned and lay on the stone pile to supervise the work.

Tang Zhangwei looked at the shovel and pickaxe that was shoveling the ground, and his mind was either thinking about what had happened during the day, or recalling all the strange things that had happened around him since he met Mrs. Combe, and leaving his business behind; Strangely, his mind did not fly far away; He felt that from this moment on, he was starting to really exist. And before that, he had been living in a world of inferior character and incomplete feelings. Now, with sunshine in his life, everything is completely new. In this moment of darkness, Queen He, poor Queen He, she is desperately dedicated to another love. This kind of love, like the love that comes into life and completely occupies it, is powerful from birth.

Therefore, after mixed thoughts, Tang Zhangwei felt that Mrs. Combe loved him, and it was undoubtedly his duty to be a person who kept his word. His friendship with Empress Ho had nothing to do with his decision. Poor Queen Ho! Tang Zhangwei described his love for her as friendship. It doesn't take long for a romantic friendship to become cold and heartless.

Queen He didn't have the heart to go to bed and stayed up late. In order not to be discovered, he put on a windbreaker and stood in front of the window. Instead of admiring the moon piercing through the clouds, gazing at the towering aspen in the night breeze, and gazing at the majestic Garonne River, which looked less like a traitor in rebellion than a loyal slave to Daze Nagong, Empress Ho was concerned with the slow-moving, time-consuming and laborious war preparation project. In her lover's mind, the battle was for her. So she saw the shadow reflected on the stone, the figure curled up in front of the wind lamp and not moving, as the soul of her old happiness.

In the past, she was energetic, ambitious, clever and delicate, but now she has lost it all. Her senses were stimulated by her unfortunate consciousness, as if they were sharpened; She felt the love of her lover sprouting in her heart, just as the vast sky of God felt that grass sprouted in the depths of the earth.

After dawn, Tang Zhangwei returned to his residence. Queen He went back to her residence earlier, Tang Zhangwei didn't see it, so naturally he didn't know that she didn't close her eyes all night. Tang Zhangwei dressed carefully, reassembled his troops, focused on inspecting the forts erected on the left bank of the Garon River, ordered the small harbor to be sealed with iron chains, deployed several ships carrying light and heavy artillery, inspected the troops, made an enthusiastic speech to boost morale, and arrived home at 10 o'clock. Empress He has been happily waiting for Tang Zhangwei. For this is not the Empress Ho who was arrogant and unreasonable, and who made her temperament so fearful that even Monsieur Eppenon was afraid, but a shy mistress, a timid slave girl. She no longer forced others to love her, but only asked for permission to love them.

The day passed peacefully, except for the two young men, who had their own different thoughts. The scouts sent out by Tang Zhangwei returned to the camp one after another, but did not get a single piece of accurate information, only saying that Bordeaux was in a mess and that something must happen.

This is Lady Combe's trick. When she returned to Bordeaux, she completely concealed the details of the accident and communicated the results to René. Bordeaux strongly demanded the occupation of the island of Saint-George. The population volunteered to join the fighting, but local officials blocked it on the grounds that there were no commanders and regular troops. René took the opportunity to recommend the two dukes and their troops. René's suggestion was immediately and enthusiastically accepted, and even those who had bid the day before yesterday in favour of closing the gates clamored for them to come.

René quickly informed the Prince's wife, who immediately summoned her advisors to discuss countermeasures.

Tang Zhaozong used the excuse of tiredness to not participate in any decision-making meeting to deal with Tang Zhangwei, but hid in the house and cried to his heart's content.

The roar of the people was clearly heard in Tang Zhaozong's house, and the voice pointed the finger at Tang Zhangwei. The letter contained only two lines: "You will be besieged immediately." You don't value me, at least you have to value yourself. ”

There is no signature at the end of the letter. Tang Zhangwei still recognized the handwriting of Mrs. Combe as he had identified Pompei's handwriting before. Tang Zhangwei looked up and looked around, but he didn't find anyone, just like a young man in his first love, his face flushed, he raised the letter to his mouth, kissed it warmly, and then pressed it tightly to his chest.

Tang Zhangwei read enough of the letter and climbed to the dome of the castle. From the dome of the castle, he could see the waters of the Garonne River, which was nearly a far-mile long, and the movement of the entire surrounding field.

The river is calm and calm. There is no trace of the four wildernesses.

"The morning seems to have passed like this," Tang Zhangwei muttered to himself. "They don't come during the day. They're ready to attack tonight. ”

Tang Zhangwei heard a noise behind him, and immediately turned around, it turned out to be his adjutant. "Well, Mr. Vibra," asked Tang Zhangwei, "is there a situation?" ”

"Sir, I heard that the flags of the princes' troops will fly over St. George's Island tomorrow."

Pick a dozen mischievous mischievous people from among your soldiers, poachers, fishers, will you have them? ”

"That's as much as a cow's hair, sir."

"Excellent! As I said, select 10 and give them a holiday until noon tomorrow. Once they had leave, they could go to the Garon River to cast rods and fish, and to set up hunting equipment in the fields...... Tonight, Monsieur Espargne and Monsieur La Rochefoucauld will surely arrest them for questioning. ”

"I don't understand ......"

"Don't you understand the reason why intruders believe we are safe? Ay! This gang doesn't know anything. When the time comes, they will talk nonsense and swear and promise, they will not know the inside story, and if they believe it is true, they will not dare to act rashly, then we can sit back and relax. ”

"Hmmm! Reasonable. ”

"Let the enemy close, let the enemy climb ashore, let the enemy set up a ladder."

"When are we going to fire?"

"I opened fire as soon as I gave the order. If our troops fire first, I promise in the name of the commander that I will kill him first. ”

"Ouch!"

"Civil war is no ordinary war. Therefore, it is crucial not to treat civil wars as hunting...... The gentlemen of Bordeaux are funny, and if you think it's funny, you can laugh, but if we don't laugh, we can't laugh. ”

The adjutant is gone. Tang Zhangwei's order reached the ears of the soldiers, and they were all dumbfounded and looked at each other. There are two types of people in the headquarters: a knowledgeable gentleman and an iron-faced ruthless commander.

Tang Zhangwei came back to have dinner with Empress He, and the time was only two hours earlier than usual. Tang Zhangwei decided not to leave the castle from dusk to dawn. Empress He was flipping through a pile of thick documents, and when she saw Tang Zhangwei coming, she said:

"You let go and fight, dear Tang Zhangwei, you will soon have support: the king is coming, Monsieur Lamelère is coming with his troops, and Eppennon's troops are 15,000 men."

"They won't be able to get there for a while, maybe they'll be delayed for ten days or eight days. Empress He," Tang Zhangwei added, "St. George's Island is not a Jincheng soup pool. ”

"Hey! As long as you're in charge, I'll make sure nothing goes wrong. ”

"Yes, because I commanded me, I could have been assassinated...... Empress Ho, what will you do if I die? You have to be mentally prepared, right? ”

"Yes!" Empress He smiled.

"Well, prepare your furniture, and when the time comes, a boat will sail to the designated place to pick it up. If you need to dive, I'll give you four good sailors to send you to the opposite shore. ”

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"No measures are useful, Tang Zhangwei! If you're killed, I don't need anything. ”

Empress He wanted to go with Tang Zhangwei.

"This kind Tong Zhangwei," said Ravelli, "is a paternalistic governor, and he keeps the soldiers on guard at night, and they will catch a cold. ”

"Yes," said another, "there are no sentinels." ”

"Hey......" As soon as the lieutenant came ashore, he raised his voice and shouted, "Guys up there, wake up, and pull us up." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the soldiers of the defense line laughing. Three or four ships came in the direction of the harbor, and the troops who arrived later were disembarking.

"Haha!" "I understand, Tang Zhangwei wants to be arrested with his hands tied up, so as to fall out with the court." Gentlemen, we were naturally able to treat him with courtesy and not hurt a single soldier. Rush to the fortress and everyone will be pardoned, but women will be a different story, and maybe they don't need forgiveness! Kids, let's remember that this is a friendly fight, so whoever shoots first will be killed. ”
