Robert Althorp, a lawyer in London, doesn't seem shy about letting others know about his travel to other counties. On the contrary, he went about his rebellious rhetoric with great fanfare, and he wished that God Almighty, and the nobles and people of England and Wales throughout England and Wales, could hear his indignation against Henry VIII.

As a result, Isabelle Walton didn't use any kind of stealing intel to get the intel she wanted from the dinner table. Of course, in England and Europe at this time, I am afraid that there is not one or two nobles who know what "intelligence" is.

"Your Excellency, do you mean that Mr. Althorp, at dinner with His Highness, told you personally where he would go next?" Francis asked incredulously.

"That's right. After drinking two glasses of fine French wine, this fellow was going to invite me to go with him to the counties to lobby the nobles of the north. Isabel spoke as she was engrossed in studying a map of the North that lay out in front of her.

Perhaps he was so preoccupied with the route and timing of the round trip that he didn't notice the change in the expressions on Francis's faces. Staring at the large area on the map to the west and southwest of Richmond County, and looking up to ask Francis, Isabel noticed that the four men were snickering at her.

Isabel looked back and forth at the four guys, frowned slightly, and said, "Jazz, what are you looking at?" Is my face funny? ”

Francis looked at the others, stifled a smile, and said, "Your Excellency, it seems that Mr. Althorp's trip to the north will not only gain the support of the noble army, but also a simple and enviable love. ”

Isabel reflected on the meaning of his words, and remembered what she had just said, and couldn't help but shake her head amusefully and said, "Quiet! Stop laughing, it's just an invitation. ”

The four men put away their smiles, and she pointed to the area on the map and asked Francis, "You said just now that if you want to go to Lancaster Castle, you have to go through the Yorkshire Highlands?" ”

Francis got up and walked over to Isabel and pointed to the map and said, "Your Excellency, I remember as if there were three roads through the Yorkshire Highlands to Lancaster Castle. ”

At this time, a prospective knight also came over and stared at the map and said, "Francis, do you remember?" On one occasion we plundered a few priests who had gone to Westmoreland near the village of Ravenstonedale. After we succeeded, we returned to the county from Kirby Stephen Village through the Tan Shan Gorge. ”

"Well, that road you're talking about is too far from Lancaster Castle. Not only does it take a lot of time to travel, but you may also encounter danger when you enter the Tan Shan Canyon alone. Francis shook his head.

"Danger? Francis, Tan Mountain Canyon is the territory of His Highness, who dares to plunder or kill people at will in His Highness's territory? The would-be knight retorted.

"Alright, don't fight." Isabel stopped the two of them, and pointed to the middle of the Yorkshire Highlands and said, "Look here, Francis. This is the village of Askerig, and it should be the village of Hoth if you go down the road. If you follow the road all the way to the west, will you be able to cross the highlands of Gunkershire? ”

Francis nodded and said, "Your Excellency, I remember, it seems that this road does indeed pass through the high ground. It's just that few people will take this road because the village of Howth is the only one in this place. If you go all the way west, you'll have to cross a large uninhabited clearing. ”

Those present knew very well what it meant to be an "uninhabited open space". Meadows with weeds, weeds, horses, and oats, streams flowing through the area, and highlands named after "river names + valleys" can be seen everywhere, this uninhabited open space serves only three purposes: one is pasture, the other is a battlefield, and the third is a place where thieves raid passers-by.

In later generations, the Yorkshire Dales, one of England and Wales' 12 national parks, was transformed into a large amount of uninhabited open space that still existed here. The valley is home to campsites, motels and small villages built in stone from the 16th century onwards, making it ideal for families to camp on their own roads.

At the moment, however, the Yorkshire Highlands are not the national parks of northern England that one might imagine. Isabel clasped her hands to her chest and put her right cheek in her right hand and thought, "I remember that Lord Lancashire came to Nottingham Castle from the direction of Leben Town every year when he came to attend His Highness's hunting season. ”

Francis looked at the small town named Leben, which was on the map southwest of Richmond County, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency." The road should also reach Lancaster Castle, but it still takes a little more time to get there. ”

With her hands propped on the table, Isabel made her decision: "Francis, tomorrow you lead Mr. Althop from the direction of Leben Town towards Lancaster Castle. I'll take it after you set out, and that's the route I chose. ”

When her finger poked at the village of Hoth on the map, Francis hurriedly whispered: "Your Excellency, it is true that taking this road can reduce the time on the road, but you may encounter many dangers if you go alone, especially after sunset. ”

"Francis, we are members of the 'Blackfriars'. If we don't even dare to go to these uninhabited open spaces, the comfortable life of the guards in Nottingham Castle will stay with us until we are killed by thieves with a sword. ”

"Your Excellency, if you must take this path, it is best to bring a few more guards with you." A would-be knight said to Isabel with concern.

"I'll accompany Your Excellency alone." From the direction of the door of the parlor came a low, powerful voice.

When they looked back, Sir Augustin Walton, dressed in civilian clothes and with a knight's sword hanging from his waist, was standing inside the door. Isabel shook her head and walked in her father's direction. When he came to Jazz, he stared at his father's serious face and said, "Sir, what are you doing here?" ”

Augustine glanced at Francis and the others, who saluted him, and said, "Sir Francis, I have something to ask your Excellency. ”

A few men nodded and stopped paying attention to them, and Isabel followed Augustine to the open space outside the door of the drawing room, and Sir said, "Isabel, if you still regard me as a father, don't refuse your family's help to you again." ”

Isabel drew her knight's sword, held it in front of her and admired it, and said, "Sir, Uncle Sam once said, 'He who has no desire to take risks will gain nothing.'" 'What do you think?' ”

Augustine nodded and said, "I agree." As I abide by the knightly creed, I can sacrifice everything to defend the honor of knighthood. ”

"Sir, I think the honor of a knight is a noble act, but it must not involve family and loved ones."

"Isabel, I'm glad you think so. However, I am also a knight who never forgets his duty! ”

When Isabel lowered her sword, she said, "Father, did you know that the Portuguese and Spaniards began their colonial raids on Asia, Africa, and the Americas as early as the 15th century. Nineteen years ago, Portuguese trading ships sailed into the ports of the ancient civilization empire (China), which coexisted with the Inca Empire, to engage in illegal trade and piracy.

Then, she said enviously: "These greedy and money-loving Portuguese, explorers, pirates, illiterates, murderers, and thieves, want to steal the Emperor's coastal territories as their colonial strongholds?!" ”
