266. Proposed new crown prince

The guards of the brigade drove in, and the spearheads were aimed at us in the center of the field - this is the same as Hong Kong police movies, these sirs are always one step late, and they are always inappropriate, and they can't find out who is a teammate and who is an opponent. It's kind of British black humor.

But what we are currently experiencing is a French-like version of incompetence. So I withdrew my gaze from François, who was lying on the ground and bleeding, stared at Henry, and pouted at him.

Although I don't know his true identity, this young man who smells all over his body and relies on perfume to suppress his body odor is obviously not an ordinary person.

Glancing at me, Henry made a reassuring gesture and smiled at me before turning and casting a glance at the guard who had gently reached out and touched François's neck.

The other party shook his head and said with a look full of horror - the crown prince is dead! He's dead!

Henry, who was facing me, had a relieved expression as he shouted at the stupid guards, "Me! Henri de Bourbon! Originally the second in line to the French royal family! Now François has died in an ambush by the Spaniards, and I regret it! But I am now the only, legitimate heir to the French royal family! ”

I was taken aback when I heard this! Historically, the French royal family did go through some ups and downs in the late sixteenth century, but then again, what European royal family didn't grow up with intrigue, intrigues, calculations, covenants, and betrayals?

The death of Crown Prince Henri de Bourbon did occur in 1584, which was hardly news in medieval Europe.

But this "little thing" implicates a big thing, that is, "Henri de Bourbon" succeeds the crown prince!

A few years later, Henry III was assassinated, and Henri de Bourbon succeeded him as Henry IV, lord of France. And with the help of Marguerite, the daughter of the Queen Mother Catherine, who has been in charge of the French regime for twenty-five years, that is, his ex-wife, she successfully defeated her mother-in-law and became the real king of France!

From 1589 to 1830, he established the Bourbon dynasty, which had intermittently ruled Navarre, France, Spain, Naples and Sicily, Luxembourg, as well as several Italian principalities!

And Henry IV is the wise lord who famously famously with the golden phrase "Let every French peasant have a chicken in his pot"! He rebuilt France from the ashes and was succeeded by his son Louis XIII after his assassination in 1610. It was on the basis of his early foreshadowing that France embarked on a grand journey to dominate Europe and even the world!

My mind was a little dizzy for a moment, could it be that the legendary Henry IV was the young man in front of me who looked sloppy, vulgar, filthy and nonsense?

It's a black line. But this guy - I mean Henry, after standing up and giving orders, is like a different person! I don't want to be as lazy and cowardly as I was just now, but like Yuanyu Yuezhi, my bearing is extraordinary!

Could it be that this is the legendary pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Whether it is or not, the situation is absolutely favorable and harmless to us. Henry's momentum clearly suppressed everyone who knew or didn't.

An officer, dressed in a dress that was clearly different from that of an ordinary soldier, ran up to Henry and, after saluting, exclaimed: "Your Excellency Henry, Duke of Navarre, you are the Supreme Commander present and the first in line to the crown prince - I mean, in the case of His Excellency François's death, you have the final say!" I'm Pessac-Leolans' Guard Captain Hawke, please forgive me for being late to the rescue! ”

Henry drew his sword with a "Zheng" sound, and waved his sword in the direction of the Spaniards: "Divide half of the men to pursue!" Be sure to catch up with the Spaniard who killed François! These damned Spanish executioners! How could they do such a vulgar thing at such an elegant drinking party! It's disgusting! Chase! What are you doing in a daze! Chase! Don't let an assassin go! ”

Hawke knew that since the other party came prepared, he would definitely not be chased after fleeing for so long. But the Supreme Commander spoke—especially since this man might be the king of the whole country in the future! So, why not listen to him?

So Hawke shouted and commanded one of his knights, and divided about half of his men to pursue the "assassins", while the remaining half surrounded Henry and protected him! Of course, two people also found mats, wrapped François's body and placed it on an ox cart!

It's not that they don't want to give the former crown prince better treatment, but it's really gone! It's a suburb, where can I find a better carriage? All those who can run have run, and those who can't have been destroyed.

Seeing this scene, I suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Your Excellency Henry! Please use my carriage to escort the body of His Excellency François back! Using an ox cart is disrespectful to the deceased! I'm willing to do what I can! ”

Henry looked at me with a look of interest in his eyes, his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said in a tone that was as suppressed as possible, but still pleasant, "Oh! My dear Mr. Sun! Not only did you save my life, but you also generously donated your carriage as a sign of respect for the deceased! On behalf of France, I thank you! You will always be a friend of France! ”

I'm not really interested in making such a statement, but deep down, it shouldn't be a bad thing to be friends with such a "person who may be very great in the future".

Although, how to put it, Yaxing, who was drinking today, was completely destroyed, and experienced a very fierce battle, and some people were injured, but for an outsider, to be able to make friends with a king at such an almost negligible price - perhaps the most powerful king in the neighborhood and in the near future, then if I did it again, I would still do it!

It's a good deal, isn't it?

Henry had already gotten everything he wanted and could get, no, there was one more thing, and that was the true friendship of the Oriental man in front of him. Although Henry knew that he had stepped into the throne of the King of France with one leg, he still had considerable interest, or rather, caution, in this man who was still calm in the stormy seas!

After a little weighing, Henry decided to buy me again! You can tell from the way his eyes change a few times that he is struggling.

In my heart, this short moment is even more dangerous than the Spaniards' attack just now! If Henry ...... There is no if, it seems that he has taken a fancy to some aspect of my ability! For example, I am an outsider, with no roots, and I have an amazing force at my disposal, like a knife that can be wiped out at any time after doing something bad, isn't that a treasure worth cherishing?

After about five seconds, Henry regained his pleasant smile and said to me with a smile, "Mr. Sun! Since you have gifted your carriage friendship to poor François, then go with my carriage! Such an unpleasant thing has happened here, and I guess you have no interest in staying any longer! ”

I smiled and nodded, and beckoned back. Henry understood what I meant, and whispered, "Don't worry! These are the warriors and ladies who saved my life, and I will not treat you lightly! ”

At this time, he was already completely an old friend's solicitation posture. Still smiling and silent, I got into Henry's carriage with a few of my henchmen, and Burn took his men into the carriage behind.

Henry and I sat in the main seat, and he seemed very hospitable, without the slightest pretension of being a prince. And I am neither humble nor arrogant, silently sipping the black tea sent by the servants.

"What a pity for François, who died like this!" Henry put down his teacup and sighed, "How the hell did these damn Spaniards get in!" The border defense has been strengthened three times, and the old men of the War Department have almost not been sent to the front line to stand guard, why did the Spaniards still come in? ”

As he spoke, he also slapped the table hard, shaking the teacup "Gran Lang" trembling slightly.

I still sipped the black tea silently, just staring at the future French crown prince, until he felt a trace of weakness, then he turned slightly sideways and whispered: "Mr. Sun, do you have anything to say?" ”

I smiled faintly and gently put down the teacup: "Henry III's younger brother, Duke François of Alençon, died suddenly, it is a good thing for you to Monsieur Henry anyway!" ”

Henry said with a slight embarrassment on his face: "No matter what, he is also my relative, I am very sad!" And I myself am actually ...... about power."

He wanted to say a few pretty words, but looking at my teasing eyes, he suddenly didn't have the confidence to say those foolish words!

His face was gloomy, and he seemed to be a little angry: "Are you suspicious of me? ”

I smiled faintly and said, "I have nothing to do with this in the first place. ”

Henry's face suddenly turned ugly, indeed, I had just come to a dinner party provided by a vendor. To put it bluntly, it's just to eat and have fun, and by the way, look for sexual encounters. But because of the French royal family, he fell into great danger, and because of this, he saved his life, and it is really difficult to say these official clichés to me again!

So Henry cleared his throat heavily, glanced sideways at the others—they were all very far away, and Henry's eyes were very unkind, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked me, "Where did you see that?" ”

I sneered and said, "Intuition." ”

Henry shook his head and said, "Impossible! There must be a reason! Mr. Sun, we are friends, please tell me! ”

I stared into his eyes, and this "vulgar" would-be crown prince looked at me with a sincere expression. So I said, "I can help you, but you have to pay me!" ”

Henry nodded, "If you are willing to help me, many things will be much easier!" Say, what do you want? ”

I said two words seriously: "Join forces!" ”

Henry raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest, "Who are you going to deal with?" ”

I looked at him and said, "Knowingly." ”

The eyes of both of us met in the air, and after a long time, Henry whispered, "Deal!" "Stretch out your palm to me as you speak!

I high-fived him, and all eyes looked around. Henry smiled at everyone and said, "Jokes between friends! ”

Everyone laughed and turned away and continued to talk about theirs. Henry glanced at the crowd again, then turned to me and asked in a low voice, "Now can I say it!" What's the problem? ”

I looked at him and whispered, "First of all, you're too calm!" It's like going according to a plan – that's actually a plan, right? ”

Henry gritted his teeth and nodded.

I smiled and continued, "Second! As soon as I finished speaking, I punched Henry the bridge of the nose! This guy screamed "whoop", and his face suddenly looked like he had opened a grocery store! The red and black ones flowed all over the chest!

Everyone looked at this side in surprise, and they didn't understand why I suddenly started to beat this "nobleman"! Henry's guard was about to draw his sword in shock, but Henry covered his face with one hand and said angrily: "Don't panic! This is helping me! ”

The guard lowered the hilt of his sword.

Zhi quickly dealt with Henry's "injury", the injury on his face, although it was not serious, but it looked really not light. Henry looked at me, shook his head helplessly, and said with a bitter smile in a very nasal voice: "You guy, you are really ruthless!" ”

I laughed and said, "If you don't see blood, others won't believe it." Mr. Crown Prince. We have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty - reluctant to let the child trap the wolf. You're done, and you don't care about the interest, do you? ”

Henry looked at me for a long time, with a sincere smile in his eyes.

Our right hands were clasped tightly again......
