"What? Edward's assassination? Marin stood up in surprise, his face instantly filled with a complicated expression.

In this expression, of course, it is mainly shocked. However, there is also some snickering?

Marin was surprised for a moment and then asked:

"Is the information reliable? How happened to His Majesty Edward? "Marlin's subtext is - is Edward dead?

As Marin's henchman, how could Kohler not know what his master meant. So, he shook his head and said:

"It's just a cut on the arm, and I need to recuperate for a few months, and it's not fatal......"

"That's right......" Marin was full of disappointment, and thought that his son could enter England early. As a result, the empty rejoiced.

At this time, Kohler suddenly said:

"However, we found out that the assassination of His Majesty Edward this time seems to have something to do with the French......"

"What's going on?" Marin asked with interest.

"Yes, in recent times, France and England have had a very bad relationship because of the ownership of the Calais fortress. The French even really thought of taking Calais by throwing the clothes of the smallpox patients, but later, because of your majesty's offer of cowpox, the British planted cowpox on the people of Calais for the first time, and the French plan went bankrupt. ”

So, in the following time, France and Britain engaged in military confrontation and negotiations at the same time. But the relationship between the two sides has fallen to a freezing point, and they both can't wait for each other to die. And the assassin of Edward this time, after the cooperation of our North Sea State spies in London, found that the assassin was bribed by the French to ambush His Majesty Edward outside Westminster Abbey. ”

However, His Majesty Edward was fortunate that the stab to his heart was blocked by the breastplate armor hidden in his clothes. The assassin could not strike a single blow, but could only slash His Majesty Edward's left arm......"

……

Marlin shook his head:

"How could he wear chest armor in his clothes? So yin? ”

Kohler looked at Marin speechlessly and said:

"You forgot? When we helped Edward against Henry VII, His Majesty Edward was with us every day. When you entered the city of London, you showed him how to wear breastplate armor under a silk robe? ”

Ma Lin suddenly realized - Nima, talking about other people's yin, isn't this scolded on his head? For many years, Marin himself had forgotten about it.

He was a man who was afraid of death, and every time he went out for a ceremony, he would wear a steel breastplate armor under his silk robe to protect the vital points from being assassinated. Unexpectedly, he was inadvertently taught by Edward.

In fact, he didn't deliberately teach Edward, but when he led the army into the city of London, he showed Edward the shiny breastplate armor worn under the silk robe. Edward just asked casually, and Marlin answered casually. As a result, Edward remembered this method......

Edward can't be blamed for learning this method, because, when he first entered London to overthrow the rule of Henry VII, under the bewitchment of Marin, Edward went on a killing spree, slaughtered too many nobles of Henry VII's faction, and formed too many blood feuds. It can be said that in England, there were not tens of thousands of people who wanted to kill Edward.

But as a monarch, he always has to go to important places such as the square, Westminster Abbey and other important places to participate in public events. At this time, including on the way back and forth to the church, it is easy to be assassinated.

Therefore, Edward also learned from Marin, and wore a three-quarter breastplate armor under the ornate silk robe, which protected the heart and other important parts.

This time, he attended an important religious event at Westminster Abbey and was caught by the Assassins. Take advantage of the chaos of the crowd and stab when you come up.

But the Assassin didn't expect that Edward's ornate robe was wearing breastplate armor, and then he missed......

Before being hacked to death by Edward's guards, he swung his knife to Edward's throat, and then, Edward's left arm was blocked, resulting in a left arm injury. The Assassin was then chopped into eight pieces by Edward's guards......

……

Originally, because the assassin was killed on the spot, the clue was broken. However, it just so happened that the spy of the North Sea Kingdom in London had seen the Assassin in contact with a merchant in a tavern the day before the assassination. And that merchant was a French merchant.

That's not the point, the point is - this French merchant took root in London thanks to the French maid beside Queen Anna......

Now the big question is, Queen Anna's maid is related to the assassination? Not really!

Queen Anna's maid Marceau was a Frenchman selected by Edward after dismissing all the maids arranged for Anna by the Count of Durt to be his chamberlain, in order to alleviate the queen's homesickness. After all, accompanied by a group of maids from hometown, speaking hometown dialect, they are not lonely.

But it happened that the French merchant named Weissman, who was also a French spy, happened to be a distant relative of the queen's maid named Marceau. In order to facilitate his entry into London, Weisman took Marceau's path and entered London......

The Queen's Lady-in-waiting still had a bit of face, and Weisman soon established himself in London, specializing in the import of French wine (England imported a large amount of wine every year), as well as the export of English wool.

This time, he took the opportunity to arrange for someone to assassinate Edward, which was actually an order from Weisman's boss. In the eyes of the French, Edward's seizure of the fortress of Calais was indeed very "rebellious". Therefore, the French also wished for Edward's early death.

Once Edward died, England would surely be in chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the French had a chance to recapture the fortress of Calais. And because Edward had no children, England might even have civil strife, giving France the opportunity to invade its homeland......

So Weisman hired a destitute former English nobleman named Bill and sent him to assassinate Edward. Bill, a former aristocratic son who was employed, was a baron under Henry VII, and although he was not a high-ranking man, he was also a wealthy family.

However, during the battle to resist the march of Edward's hired Marin army into London, Bill's father, Baron Gates, died outside London as a mid-ranking officer.

Because he was not a high-level aristocracy, he was not particularly targeted during Edward's purge. And Bill was very clever enough to disguise himself and escaped, so he was not liquidated.

However, at this time, Bill seems to have contracted pneumonia and died soon (at that time, Europe had pneumonia and basically waited for death, and there was no cure). Weisman also took a fancy to this, and bewitched him to say - anyway, you are dying, why don't you do a feat before you die, and kill Edward, who ruined your family......

Then, Bill of the Gates family, full of hatred, relied on the aristocratic family to learn some techniques and prepared to assassinate Edward. Moreover, he really found a chance.

At that time, many people were praying. Bill, dressed in a normal monk's attire, kept his head down, and didn't attract attention. After all, Westminster Abbey Cathedral is home to the monks the most.

But when he assassinated Edward in the end, he didn't expect Edward to wear breastplate armor under his robes, and then he had to drink hatred......

……

After the incident, British officials did not catch Weisman, because he hurried out of the city early in the morning and ran away. In the end, Edward's men only captured a few of Weisman's unlucky henchmen and the hapless Marceau's handmaiden.

This innocent little French girl named Marceau bore most of Edward's wrath and was beaten to death......

……

Hearing this, Marin changed his previous depression of "Edward is not dead" and laughed hehe.

"I'm worried that I don't have a chance, but I didn't expect that the opportunity would come so soon......"
