A week later, the doors of Reims Cathedral finally opened, and the great bishop of Gers, who was in the church, had to surrender to Wilhelm because of lack of water.

Seeing the Norman soldiers swarming in, William pointed forward with the horsewhip in his right hand and said to Duke Rodrigo: "Lord Rhodes, please be sure to lead someone to capture Henry I, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find him." ”

Based on the information at hand, William could be sure that Henry I was indeed in Reims, and he could be sure that the other party was still active in Reims after William's siege of Reims.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will capture Henry I and bring it to you." Rodrigo nodded solemnly in promise.

Subsequently, Duke Rodrigo led the headquarters of the Second Legion and the accompanying militia to launch a carpet search of Reims City, and at the same time, he also blocked the entrances and exits of Reims City together with Duke Richard and Duke Andrew, to ensure that Henry I would not escape during this period.

However, in the following days, neither Duke Rodrigo, nor Richard and others brought any good news to William, and Henry I disappeared as if he had disappeared from the world.

"It is impossible, Henry I was not alone, his young queen Anna. Rurik and his young son, Prince Philip, were both in Reims, and they couldn't have disappeared into thin air. William said to Rodrigo and Richard in front of him.

"Your Majesty, may I interrogate Archbishop Reims, Bishop Charlon, and Priest Priest, who must know something, and may be able to find out the whereabouts of Henry I from their mouths." Duke Richard opened his mouth to suggest.

"emmm......" William mused, pondering the pros and cons of the matter, and there was no doubt that the interrogation of the Archbishop of Reims and the bishop priests would cause another uproar, causing displeasure to the Holy See and the Pope, and probably with extremely serious consequences.

William then looked at Duke Rodrigo, he found that Rods was a little anxious and a little eager to speak, it seems that he did not want William to do this, as a fervent Christian, Rodrigo did not want to see William and the church break out again.

Richard and Andrew, on the other hand, looked indifferent and did not seem to take the consequences of angering the Church to heart, which is also reasonable, they were both Normans, never devout Catholics, and did not pay any attention to the orders of the Church.

"Lord Richard, my lords, this matter is still left to me, you better go back and put your army in order quickly, in three days, I will lead my army south to Troyes and Sens, completely wipe out the Duchy of Champagne, and fight the Duke of Burgundy, you must be fully prepared." William shook his head slightly and ordered everyone.

"Your Majesty." The people were ordered to retreat and leave.

The reason why William was so eager to hunt down King Henry I of France was to end the war as soon as possible and prevent other countries and princes from entering the war under the pretext of entering the war.

After only a month was wasted in Reims, there was little time left for William to look for Henry I, who had to conquer the Kingdom of France before other nations and princes entered the war, at least to occupy the unexpected central and northern parts of France in early Aquitaine and Toulouse.

Since Richard, Rodrigo and others had searched Lance and could not find any trace of Henry I, it was clear that Henry I had left William before he launched an attack on Lance, and William had some speculation as to his whereabouts.

Henry I was able to acquire nothing more than the Dijon court of the Duke of Burgundy, the Bordeaux court of the Duke of Aquitaine, the Nassau court of the Emperor Shine, and the Isle of Zealand of the King of Denmark.

Among them, Henry I is less likely to flee to the Duke of Burgundy and the Duke of Aquitaine, because he and his half-brother, the Duke of Burgundy, Robert I. Capet had been at odds with the fact that he was at risk of being killed if he fled to Dijon, and to the Duchy of Aquitaine was of no avail, and Duke William VIII was busy dealing with rebellions within the duchy and threats from the Normans and Castiles, and there was no room to help Henry I.

Among the remaining two possibilities, the escape to the court of Emperor Henry III of the HRE is the most likely, and William remembers that two years ago, King Henry I of France and Emperor Henry III of the HRE had made an alliance in Reims and reached some agreement, presumably that there would be no war with Hungary, and Henry III would definitely send troops to help him deal with William.

As for the possibility of a trip to Denmark, Denmark and Norway have always coveted English land, and their kings, Swain II and Harald, are also ambitious, and they are unlikely to pass up this opportunity.

Thinking of these, William could only sigh that there were many similarities between Henry I and Liu Bei Liu Ran in the Three Kingdoms era, they were both long-sleeved and good at dancing, loved to make friends with strong men, and he himself was also very good at things, ambitious and unwilling to be lonely.

At the same time, Henry I also had the spirit of perseverance, he was defeated by William three times in the past ten years, and took a lot of land from him, even Paris, but he still did not give up, from Paris to Reims, and then from Reims to other places, he still insisted on fighting against William.

Henry I was also very difficult in history, he invaded Normandy twice, was defeated by William and then made a comeback, it can be said that his life was a life of fighting with the Normans, until his death, he still did not give up, and the battle with the Normans continued to the next generation of Philip I.

Rao is William has given up hope of continuing to search for Henry I, but he still asks Archbishop Gerbo and others about the whereabouts of King Henry.

Originally, he had lost his expectations, but he didn't expect his common sense to get a good harvest.

Unlike the French Church, which was hostile to William, the Baron of Châtillon, the archdiocese of Reims. Morality. Chartyon revealed to William the whereabouts of Henry I and his family.

"Sure enough, I went to Emperor Shinra's court in Nassau to ask for help, it seems that I still have to prepare early, even if he can't ask for the full help of Henry I, even if he gets the help of some of the princes of the HRE Empire and joins the war, it will be extremely troublesome." William thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, apart from His Majesty Henry taking Prince Philip to the HRE court, Her Majesty Queen Anna remains in the women's convent of Reims." Guy. Morality. "Queen Anna is a rare young and beautiful woman!" said with a flattering expression. ”

"Got it, Baron Châtillon, I'll think carefully about your affairs, and I won't treat you badly, go down." William nodded expressionlessly.

William didn't want to bother with this flatterer, and after getting the information he wanted, he waved away Baron Guy of Chatillon.
