ps: It's okay to ask for a ticket! Sorry, the title is wrong, urgently start contacting the editor for revision

Ten minutes later, the Northumberland family was ready to go.

Because the Earl of Warwick is a soldier, his personality has always been very strong, so he is also true at home, and no one dares to disobey him.

Looking at the Countess standing beside him, as well as several adult sons and daughters-in-law, the Earl nodded with satisfaction.

"John, has Robert not come back yet? Why don't we wait! ”

The Countess was a young lady from a country knighthood, and even though she had become a countess, she was as plain as ever, and had a soft personality, which matched the hard character of the Earl of Warwick.

Glancing at his wife, the Earl of Warwick shook his head and said:

"Anna, don't wait for him, he's in His Majesty's guard camp, safe!"

Hearing her husband say this, Madame Anna's heart was broken, even if she was ignorant, she knew that her husband must be in great trouble if he ran away overnight, otherwise with his status as a dignified earl, would he still have to escape?

"Okay, Anna, don't worry, Robert will be fine, let's go first!"

The Earl put his right hand on Lady Anna's shoulder and whispered comfort in her ear.

"Well, well, I'm fine, it's okay, let's go!"

Lady Anna wiped the corners of her reddened eyes and said softly.

"Departure - Northumberland!" With a shout from the Earl of Warwick, the five carriages that had been lightly loaded on the road set sail for the London docks, five miles away.

There, a medium-sized merchant ship was waiting for the Earl of Warwick at the docks.

Northumberland is the northernmost county of England, with Newcastle as its capital, the North Sea to the east and Scotland to the north, and the home of the Earl of Warwick.

Historically, the Earl of Warwick would also crown himself Duke of Northumberland.

So when Guy and his party arrived at the Earl's Court, they saw an empty room and two corpses.

Lifting the linen covering the corpses, Guy's eyes kept looking at the two young corpses lying on the ground, and he didn't say a word.

After looking at it for about ten seconds, he reached out and pulled the flax up, covering the bloody corpse on his face.

"Alas! Bury them well! Guy said calmly.

For Guy, since becoming the leader of the Darkblade, there are several lives in the reports that come to him every month.

For these, for Guy, he was used to it.

"Boss, we've found rutted marks in the carriage!"

A retribution broke the atmosphere of sadness.

"Okay, everyone chase with me!" Guy was overjoyed when he heard the news.

Thanks to the weather in London, it hasn't been raining for an hour, and you can still see the ruts on the road.

And so the mighty army began to chase after the Earl of Warwick's convoy again, only to force the captives, who had just been beaten, and now had to run long distances again.

In a few moments, Guy found that the pampered captives were out of breath after running less than a mile, and at once slowed down the pace of the whole army.

"Tren, you find dozens of people to escort these merchants back!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! Tren grimaced, reluctantly agreeing.

Guy also has his own thoughts in doing this, and Tren did well today, but not too dazzling, after all, he is just a small vice-captain.

After about twenty minutes, Guy finally followed the carriage trail to the London docks.

However, Guy only saw five carriages parked empty on the docks, and the scattered dock workers passed by with envy.

Just as he was approaching, an officer who appeared to be in charge of the docks approached.

"Hey! You untouchables, don't you want to die? ”

"This is the noble lord's thing, don't approach!"

The official does not seem to have a big official position, but his attitude is quite arrogant, and his expression is very arrogant.

"We are members of the Star Chamber Court, and we are ordered to track down the key culprits, I ask you, what about the owners of these carriages?"

Seeing this, he didn't want to waste any more time, Guy directly picked up the waist card and asked the little official.

Since Edward established the Dark Blade, he was afraid that the Dark Blade would not have a deterrent power, so it was much more convenient to nominally attach the Dark Blade to the door of the Star Chamber Court, which was full of deterrence.

"This, this, I'm so embarrassed! I didn't expect your lords to come, I'm Cade, the tax collector here, and this, the main adults are dressed very strangely! ”

The little official stammered a little, looking at Guy in disbelief, but the timidity on his face could not be stopped.

"Well, I'll just ask you, where has the owner of these carriages, the Earl of Warwick, gone?"

Guy didn't bother to care what was going on in his mind, he just wanted to know where his target, the Earl of Warwick, had gone!

"This, half an hour ago, the Earl of Warwick came to the docks and said that he was going to Southampton, so he left on a merchant ship!"

The tax collector looked at Guy with some fear, and told the details one by one.

"Stinky bitch! So, can you send someone to catch up now! ”

After scolding, Guy looked at the tax collector in front of him with an expectant tone.

"This, sir! It is already dark at the moment, and the Earl of Warwick is probably out of port, and soon he will reach the sea along the Thames, and we will not be able to catch up! ”

"Then you send someone to chase it now, how do you know if you can't catch up if you don't chase it!"

Seeing the adults of the Star Chamber Court in front of him so messing around, the tax collector of the docks had a headache in his head.

At this time, he wanted to slap himself, blaming himself for being too talkative, purely for his own trouble.

"My lord, I'm so sorry, there is no boat at night!"

The tax collector said weakly, for fear that he would be arrested, after all, his foundation was not clean.

After hearing this, Guy felt that his eyes were full of stars, and he was about to explode!

"Let's go! Let's go back! Dropping these words, Guy turned around directly and walked away with a reluctant face.

"My lord, go slowly!" Looking at Guy's group of people who were gradually moving away, the tax collector gave a blessing in the back.

Guy's face trembled, revealing a laughing and crying expression.

And at this time, Andre, with the London militia, came to Hampton Court Palace on the banks of the Thames.

Looking at the good Hampton Court Palace, which was in the dark and quietly staying there, how could Militia Major Pryor not know that he had been deceived.

"Andrey, don't think that you are a servant of His Majesty the King, you can act recklessly, if something happens to the parliamentarians, you will be wanted by the London Guildhall!"

When they remembered that the parliamentarians knew that he was inadequate, the businessmen would surely remove him from his post, and perhaps bribe the judge to punish him.

With such a terrible scene in his heart, Pryor hated Andre who deceived him more and more.

Looking at Pryor's wolf-like eyes, as if he was going to tear himself alive, Andre couldn't help but shudder.

"My Major, it doesn't matter how much you hate me now, but you have to think about your current situation!"

"Those merchants of the London City Council will not let you go, a militia major who has turned his back on their interests!"

Listening to Andre talk about his dangerous situation, Andrei's face became more and more gray!

"But! There is a life in front of you, I don't know if you cherish it? ”

Andre's words directly hung Pryor's appetite and made him itch unbearably.

"Andrey, what do you mean by vitality?" Pryor swallowed and asked nervously.

"Your Majesty, your life is Your Majesty!" Andrei said word by word.

"Your Majesty?" Pryor was a little surprised.

"It's His Majesty, all London, the one who dares to mess with His Majesty!"

"Not only your life, but even your current position can be saved!"

Andre is like a seductive and criminal devil, seducing the wandering Pryor with a sweet wine.

"Good...... Let's do it! I pledge my allegiance to His Majesty the Great Edward! ”

"Tell me, then, how His Majesty will save me?"

Seeing Pryor's appointee, Andre finally smiled.

"Don't worry, my Mr. Major, you'll know tomorrow!"

After saying that, Andrei put on his hat and rode away directly on his horse.

Looking at Andre in the distance, Major Pryor had a complicated expression on his face.

Late at night, the noisy street during the day is like a gentle girl, full of a different kind of poetry, which is pleasing to the eye.

Whitehall House, at this time our honorable King of England did not sleep, or read, as usual, but admired the portrait of his grandfather, Henry VII.

Henry VII, who was on horseback, wore the armor of an ordinary general, but he still could not stop his royal majesty.

And in front of the horse, a group of local gentlemen bowed their heads and bowed to the king of England.

Just as Edward was about to be filled with emotion, Guy arrived.

"Your Majesty, London City Councillor Cromwell and seven others and their families have been arrested and have now been sent to the detention center of the Star Chamber Court!"

Guy said to Edward with some unnatural expression.

"Really? And what about the Earl of Warwick? Edward listened to Guy's tone and felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry for this, the old fox of the Earl of Warwick has escaped!"

Guy lowered his head and said in shame.

"When the credit is credited later, your credit will be nullified!"

When Edward heard the news, he spoke directly to Guy's face.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Guy reluctantly agreed.

"So, so many people, how much money did they copy in total?"

Edward asked directly without changing his face, and there was no trace of embarrassment in his tone.

"Your Majesty, according to calculations, we have received a total of 120,000 pounds, 30,000 acres of land deeds in various places, more than 100 shops, as well as banks, companies, real estate, etc., which have not yet been calculated!"

At the mention of this, Guy's eyebrows fluttered, this was a bonus for him.

"Very good, very good, reward you with a hundred pounds, and I'll send Luna to help you count them!"
