Chapter 148: The Queen Mother was arrested
ps: Chapter 1, there is another chapter around twelve o'clock, ask for votes, ask for subscriptions
At this time, Dio and Count Wilson supported each other, leading dozens of fierce soldiers to prepare to enter the castle and search for Queen Mary.
And the hideous-looking middle-aged man who was boosting morale and commanding the Scottish guards seemed to know their purpose, and his eyes were always on the moving Earl Wilson.
The man who looked like a head turned to the guards in the checkered skirts beside him, muttering something to himself, but the Earl Wilson felt that the Scottish army that resisted was becoming more and more courageous, and he did not hesitate to block the exit position without hesitating casualties.
The Scottish guards kept shouting, and the morale was getting higher and higher.
In the era of cold weapons, the two armies wanted to meet, and basically fought for morale, and the higher the morale of the army, the greater the advantage.
The Earl felt that they could not do as they pleased, and the longer it dragged on, the more troublesome it would be for them.
"Mr. Major, go, go immediately, I'm afraid the situation will be beyond our expectations!"
The Lord Earl glanced at the commander of Scotland, took Major Theo, and hurried away.
Even if the Scots resisted more and more, but in the end, the English army was outnumbered, and under the order of the Earl, there was soon a crack in the Scottish army.
The Earl's group quickly took advantage of this good opportunity and broke into the castle.
Holding the blood-dripping weapon, the Earl and his party entered the castle, and the maids and servants who passed along the way clearly knew what time it was, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but they did not meet a trace of resistance.
For the jewels and minions along the way, they did not stop and went straight to the goal.
Led by Major Theo, everyone soon arrived at Queen Mary's bedroom.
I saw that the two gates inlaid with agate and precious stones were closed, and they looked very tight.
The Earl glanced at it, and his expression became more and more solemn.
At the Earl's signal, two sturdy soldiers began to pound the gate with their flesh.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Three times in a row, the door that looked difficult was knocked open at once, and it seemed to be a kind of project, and it was useless.
Major Dio couldn't help but look at it with contempt in his heart, but his face was still expressionless.
And Count Wilson didn't stop for a moment, and walked straight in.
Seeing this, Major Dio also walked in, and by the way, kicked a few French soldiers who were about to buckle the jewel from the door.
When you walk into the bedroom, you will be greeted by the huge fireplace, which looks spectacular.
Then, the gleaming dressing table in the bedroom, a dazzling array of jewelry and cosmetics, aroused the interest of many people.
On the side, the gorgeous and warm huge beds were there, the goose down quilts were still lifted, but their owners were nowhere to be seen.
In view of this, Count Wilson and Major Dio could not help but look disappointed in their hearts.
But Earl Wilson did not give up, as a member of the nobles, he understood the mentality of those nobles very well, and also knew the permanent secret passage locations of some nobles.
I saw that he ordered someone to lift the huge bed, or lift the sheets, but unfortunately, it was a normal bed.
Then the Earl looked closely at the great fireplace, as if searching for some mechanism, but again to no avail.
Now not only him, but even those soldiers are also depressed one by one, they know that this time they are afraid that they will return in vain, and the greatest credit is actually gone.
Major Theo, on the other hand, made a new discovery, and when he walked into the dresser, he felt something abnormal, and he could not remember where it was.
As he turned his gaze to the messy bed, he suddenly remembered that something was wrong.
The dresser was too neat, and the jewelry and cosmetics were neatly placed one by one, which was too normal.
I saw him approach the dresser, squatted down, and kept groping for something on the surface of the dresser with his hands, and finally, behind the dresser, he felt a button, and without thinking about it, Dio pressed it directly.
Immediately, the dresser moved some distance to the right, and in front of them was a cave.
It was pitch black, there was no light inside, and there was a hint of danger in it, and the Earl glanced up, except for the long staircase, there was a blur ahead.
Everyone was silent for a while, looked at each other, and couldn't help but retreat in their hearts.
In this unfamiliar black hole secret passage, who knows what traps and dangers await them, and Queen Mary and her party are also inside, if they ambush them, they will all have to see God and his old man.
The hesitation of the crowd was seen by Earl Wilson one by one, but he did not hesitate, go in, must go in.
In fact, Edward had already been angry with him before, and he had to catch Queen Mary and reunite their mother and daughter, which was a requirement he had to fulfill.
And Edward's reward is also very rich, His Excellency the Earl will be history, and His Excellency the Marquis is his future title.
And most importantly, it was a great thing that Edward allowed his nephew to inherit his marquisate title.
Prior to that, after the establishment of the Tudor royal family, since the War of the Red and White Roses was caused by the excessive power of the nobility, from Henry VII onwards, the succession to the title of nobility in England was generally in the direct blood family, and it was impossible to inherit the title of nephew and niece.
This method did work, and in the decades since the establishment of the Tudor dynasty, there were as many as a dozen nobles with no heirs, that is, nobles above the baron were canceled by God's arrangement.
But even though the nobles have worked hard, the heirs are getting thinner and thinner.
"Let's go! Everyone goes in together, and everyone is rewarded with ten pounds after that! ”
For the sake of the inheritance of his title and the longevity of the family, Lord Earl can only fight.
The Earl's heart was crossed, and after saying these words of encouragement, he immediately took the lead and walked in first.
The English and French soldiers, who had been stirred up by the reward, followed suit, and Major Theo could only shake his head and follow with a wry smile.
His task was basically completed, and there was no need to fight so hard, but everyone went, and he didn't want to offend Count Wilson, so he knew this, but he still translated the words of Lord Earl, and the French soldiers were willing to follow.
Circling around, following the footprints, Earl Wilson and the others walked slowly, their spirits clenched, and their eyes had to keep an eye on their feet and surroundings at all times, for fear that there would be some mechanism.
From time to time, they had to wade through the water, crossing some places that had collapsed, and after half an hour, even though they were in good health, they still couldn't eat, and they couldn't get tired.
Just as they were about to rest, the Earl seemed to hear a woman speak, and his heart could not help but be overjoyed.
After signaling everyone to speak softly, the Earl deployed everyone to quietly surround him.
Queen Mary, who was resting, looked at the soldiers who surrounded her, but her expression was stunned.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother! Our Majesty the King and the Queen are waiting for you in London, so bitter! ”
