After a long time of pleasantries, a Q&A session ensued, all of whom wanted to know why Garian had left Paris and what he had been through during that time.

From the very beginning, Baudelaire and Hugo's eyes were focused on Balanchi, and it was impossible for the veterans of the Wind and Moon Field not to know this lady, and Hugo even danced with him.

Madame Balanchi, the most popular courtesan in Paris, disappeared almost at the same time after Garián's disappearance. Then came the news that his husband, Sir Fred, had revoked his title of nobility, and although no one had linked the two events at the time, it was very suspicious in retrospect.

Hugo and Baudelaire's eyes were focused on the two of them at the same time, and Podla clasped his hands in front of his chest, although his expression was excited, it was difficult to hide the bloodshot eyes that had not slept for several days.

He was still very excited, because he didn't expect the long-missing Garion to appear in front of him in such a dramatic way, Baudelaire said excitedly, "Thank God, you finally appeared." Garian, you don't know how much has happened since you left Paris. Napoleon III has now investigated and it has become clear that all rumours about you are malicious slander and rumours, and that the initiator, Sir Fred, has been severely punished. ”

He was relieved when he heard this "good news", and it seemed that he was not on the blacklist of the Paris government.

He suddenly remembered the previous incident about Bodin in Dele Cruz, so he hurriedly asked, "By the way, what happened to the previous incident about the commemoration of Congressman Bodan?" ”

Baudelaire glanced hesitantly at Dumas, who sighed and said slowly, "Although his lawyer is willing to fight for him, the damned Imperial government has sentenced him to a year in prison. But fortunately, more than half a year has passed now, and he should be able to be released around January next year. ”

"Okay, then I'll be relieved."

"Now it's your turn to explain."

Baudelaire pointed at him and Balanchi, and asked, "Why did you both escape from Paris together, and is there any secret in between?" ”

Garion glanced at Lady Balanchi and said with a smile, "It's a long story, so I'd better explain it slowly." ”

So Galian sorted out the ins and outs of the two of them, including his dealings with Sir Fred, his secrets with Dele Cruz, and his connection to the Bodin incident.

After speaking, he drank a cup of coffee with a dry mouth.

After listening to Galian's account, all of them showed shocked expressions, including Hugo.

The events he experienced were so bizarre that he didn't even dare to make them up.

Hugo really liked this handsome, talented and experienced young man more and more. looked at his daughter's serious and reverent expression, and made up his mind to turn him into his son-in-law.

However, because he was not sure about the relationship between him and Balanchi, he had to deliberately ask sideways, "So Lord Garrian and Lady Balanchi are now considered a legal husband and wife?" ”

Hearing Hugo's question, Adei glared at him fiercely and secretly kicked him.

But Hugo pretended not to care, deliberately ignored his daughter, and continued to ask, "After all, he escaped from Paris with you, so there is ...... between you."

Garion was just about to answer and explain, but Mrs. Balanchi answered first, vetoing the relationship between the two, "No, we are not really husband and wife, we have been pretending to be wives. After all, if a man and a woman appear in a strange country, if they are not husband and wife, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others. ”

Garion frowned, not quite understanding what Balanchi wanted to do, and the other party just made a smile and signaled to Garion not to worry.

At the end of this brief conversation, the two ladies Balanchi and Aldai went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, leaving the four men to continue their discussion of Paris.

After Hugo was expelled, he had not returned to Paris for a long time, and when he heard that Napoleon the Younger was still firmly in control of the power in France, and forced people in the direction of dire straits, he couldn't help but say angrily, "This damn little Napoleon, in order to stabilize the domestic environment as soon as possible, listened to his rhetoric and sent one of his officers to the position of president, but he went directly to launch a coup d'état, used force to expel the Republican parliamentarians from the Bourbon Palace, and abolished the laws we formulated, Turning the Second Republic into a veritable Second French Empire. ”

Hugo recalled the years when he fought against Napoleon the Younger, and said with emotion, "But I did not stop fighting for a moment, and one day the emperor and the nobles will be driven out of the territory of France." ”

"But Your Excellency Hugo, writing a book can't save the French."

Garion pierced Hugo's self-disguise, and he said calmly, "Revolution can, which is why I sympathize with and help those revolutionary parties, I respect and admire these people." ”

"Garion, come over here."

Hugo stood up, and Garion followed with great interest, and it can be said that it is the supreme honor to be able to chat with the French literary leaders at close range.

"What's wrong? Your Excellency Hugo. ”

The two stood on the windowsill, and Hugo specially closed the glass door behind him. Downstairs is a bustling street, and the small balcony is like a towering cliff, trapping the two of them in the London night.

Hugo was leaning against the marble fence, he turned his head to look at the young man beside him, and asked softly, "I have a question for you, very important." This question is related to...... Everything after me. ”

"Okay."

Garion also put on a serious look, he saw Hugo put on a serious look, he would say something important to him, but he didn't expect the other party's first sentence to make him stunned on the spot.

"What do you think of my daughter?"

Garian was stunned.

"Huh?"

Hugo said solemnly, "Answer seriously! ”

"That's good."

"And when are you going to get married?"

"Huh?"

This time Garion was completely confused, didn't the old man call him here to explain something important? Why did an inexplicable topic suddenly arise.

"I'm sorry, Lord Hugo, I didn't understand what you're saying?"

Garion wants the other to repeat it.

"I'm old."

Hugo sighed and said slowly, "Now that there is only such a daughter, I want to choose an excellent son-in-law to inherit my career, to be honest, I have heard of your great deeds from many mouths before I met you. To be honest, I never thought that a young man could do this, I can't, Balzac can't, and the others are even worse. ”

Hugo also smiled mysteriously and said to Garion, "As for that courtesan Balanchi, as long as you marry my daughter, the rest will be settled, and she can continue to follow you." I'm also a man, and I've had experience in this area, so you're much more dedicated than me. I am afraid that the woman who had a leg with me back then would not be able to sit in a Paris Opera house, and my wife may not have any complaints in private......"

"Wait."

Garion made a pause gesture, he interrupted the other party's reminiscences of the love history, then touched the sweat on his forehead, and asked hesitantly, "Your Excellency Hugo, am I considered to be the successor of you?" ”

"How?"

Hugo thought that Garion was not happy, so he instantly lowered his face and asked, "Is it wronged to be my son-in-law?" ”

"No, it's not ......"

"Alright."

Hugo waved his hand and said, "If you are willing to marry my daughter, the British royal family will hold a banquet next, and I will take you to it when the time comes." This will quickly make you famous in London. ”

He looked at the young man in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Think about it, I look forward to your reply." ”

At this time, another person searching for Garion's whereabouts also appeared.

Sir Fred groped his way through the streets like a ghost, and if it weren't for those peculiar eyes, almost no one would have believed that this unshaven man was the noble Sir of the past.

In his opinion, the adulterers of Garion and Balanchi** conspired to kill him miserably, and even caused him to be unable to mix in Paris. Thankfully, the large sum of francs he paid finally got him useful information: the dog man and woman were hiding in London.

He stood in front of the dim street lamp, the cigarette in his hand, and once again he returned in vain, and fell into the streets of London. In the pocket of his coat was a second-hand revolver bought locally, which was rusty but still capable of killing his enemies with a single shot.

By the time he learned of Jia'an's whereabouts from the Daily Telegraph and found his mansion, it was empty. It's like a sudden evaporation, leaving no footprints.

Unconvinced, Fred dropped his cigarette butt and wrapped his clothes tightly on his way to the inn, where six bullets would not hesitate to hit him when he searched for Garion's whereabouts again.

It was the only thought in the mind of an Avenger.

Garion must die.

As he passed by the newspaper, he stopped and pulled a shilling out of his pocket to buy a copy of The Times. However, when he saw the headline in The Times, he was intrigued by the news about the British royal family inviting celebrities to a banquet.

Suddenly he had a strange thought, grabbed the newspaper and stared at every word on it, afraid that he would miss any detail.

"Will he be at the banquet too?"
