The estate that Queen Mary paid to Sara was not far from the port of Marseille, and it looked like a land of five or six miles.

Zhao Hongyu After they left Marseille, they entered a sycamore forest.

In summer, the foliage of the plane trees is luxuriant, just enough to block out the hot sun.

Some light spilled through the gaps in the leaves, and a little bit of light added a touch of mood to the woods.

From time to time, hares jumped in the forest, but they did not arouse Zhao Hongyu's idea.

Now Zhao Hongyu's mind is all on that manor.

"Well, the scenery here is not bad."

Sitting on the horse, Zhao Hongyu watched and felt the scenery of this sycamore forest, and said his opinion to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan responded with a smile: "What Your Highness said is that the scenery here is indeed good, and it is completely different from the Americas and China. Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that France was really bad in this era, it would still be a good place to live. ”

Woohoo!

Zhao Hongyu's eight dogs kept running back and forth around him, and they seemed very excited.

Yes, after sailing at sea for so long, it was very difficult to hold back in Lisbon.

Now that they have finally disembarked and stepped onto land, how can they not be happy.

Dogs also have feelings of joy, anger and sorrow.

"Look at how suffocating these guys is, it's really enough." , Zhao Hongyu glanced at the dogs around him and said to Wang Shan.

These dogs stretched out their long tongues, their eyes were blazing, although they were running, they were always around Zhao Hongyu, and they would not run around.

Even if there are hares not far away, they will not forget the existence of their owners.

These are like the hounds of a calf, and they are very human.

Zhao Hongyu and the others sat on their horses, and did not urge the mounts under their crotches to run, because behind them were eight hundred genetic human janissaries.

These genetic people are the Praetorian Guards. They lined up in two queues, following Zhao Hongyu and them with neat steps. On their shoulders, they carried flintlock pistols and all loaded with bayonets in case of accidents.

"You say, what will be the reaction of the French to us taking the Janissaries to take over the manor. You must know that in this era, the number of people fighting in European countries is generally not very large, and more than 10,000 people are in the sky, and we can start a small war. ”

Zhao Hongyu lowered his voice and asked Wang Shan.

After Wang Shan smiled, he said to Zhao Hongyu: "If you want to come to the French, you won't have much reaction." It's understandable that you have more guards around you for your honorable status. After all, you're representing an empire, and security isn't a big deal. ”

In Wang Shan's opinion, His Royal Highness's worries were completely superfluous, after all, his identity was here.

And the French in the Americas, they still need those goods of the Song Empire.

Therefore, the French will not make a big fuss about this issue and make a big deal about it.

"Your Highness, don't forget. The French need our goods from the Americas. If I offend you, the French will not be able to find such a lucrative product. Even if they want to go to the East or India, they have to see if the Dutch agree. Besides, there are the British, not. ”

Wang Shan is stiff with the French. That's been a long time coming.

After Zhao Hongyu pondered for a while when he heard this, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

As Wang Shan said, the French should not care if they have 800 Praetorian Guards.

Besides. He didn't show any ill will towards France, so he should be fine.

"I don't know how they're doing now." At this time, Sara shook the reins. After letting the mount come to Zhao Hongyu's side, she said worriedly.

Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu stopped talking and slowly stepped back.

"I don't think you have to worry about their lives, just because after Queen Mary releases them immediately after you marry me, their lives should be arranged very well, at most their range of activities is smaller, after all, they are under house arrest."

Zhao Hongyu thought about it and replied to Sarah.

"Hopefully."

Sara couldn't do anything about it, so she could only hope that Mary would be nice to them and not let the women suffer too much.

Either way, the fact that these women were released from the dungeon and could live on a manor house was a huge difference.

The harsh punishments in Europe at this time make people shudder just thinking about it.

"It's almost here, everyone's in good spirits."

After a while, the silhouette of a building loomed in front of them, and it was supposed to be their destination.

Therefore, Wang Shan shouted.

Ooh!

Hundreds of genetic people responded in unison.

Suddenly, a knight came in front of him.

The knight wore a French broad-brimmed felt hat, a small half-length black cloak, and carried a rapier and four short muskets around his waist.

The standard French musketeer is dressed like the guard.

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand in front of his forehead, and after watching for a while, he secretly said in his heart.

"Stop!"

The knight stopped when they were still more than fifty meters away from Zhao Hongyu and them, and then raised his hand and made a gesture to stop Zhao Hongyu and them from continuing to advance.

"Who are you? Private estates here, you can no longer move forward. ”

This knight told the truth, and to stop Zhao Hongyu, they themselves had no bottom in their hearts. Because of Zhao Hongyu, there are a lot of them, but he has to do it head-on.

"We are from the American continent, this is the countess of the Samuel family, and we are here to take over the estate."

Wang Shan shook the reins and rode over, and replied opposite the knight.

What, from the Americas.

As a royal musketeer, this knight was no stranger to the Americas.

In particular, he understood better why the queen of this manor would be used to live for several widows.

Shocked and incredulous.

Yes, although he knew a little bit of secret, he did not expect that the Americans would actually come to France.

You know, there is an Atlantic Ocean in between.

"Don't be stunned, lead the way. I don't want it long. Your Queen Mary will be here in person or in person. ”

Wang Shan raised his chin at the knight and said to him.

In such a situation, this knight is really not good at refusing anything.

Especially in this team, Sara herself is still there.

It is important to know that this manor is nominally the property of Sara herself, and was given to Sara by Queen Mary.

Therefore, he, the little captain of the musketeers, has no right to refuse a nobleman to go to her manor.

"Alright, you come with me."

The knight turned his horse's head and led the way.

"Looks like we're all right. The widows of Samu's family are really under house arrest. It's impossible for them to leave the manor, but I think it's better to get by than in prison. ”

Zhao Hongyu whispered to Sara from behind.

Sara nodded.

Ahead, from time to time, one or two musketeers appeared, and then the musketeer who appeared first explained to his companions.

These musketeers were hidden in the sycamore forest around the manor, apparently to prevent the women of the manor from escaping.

Soon, Zhao Hongyu and the others came to the manor. Came to the square of the manor.

The Genetic Guards began to set up tents under Wang Shan's orders, while Zhao Hongyu took Sara, Emma and Wang Shan into the two-story building of the manor.

"Aunt Sarah. You're finally back. ”

Zhao Hongyu and Sara, Emma and Wang Shan had just walked in, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl wearing a black puffy skirt and two big braids pounced on her from the corridor.

Emma looked at the girls with interest, then turned her head to look at the décor in the room.

Wang Shan had little interest in these. He followed behind Zhao Hongyu with a straight face, keeping his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking loyal.

An old woman, surrounded by several women of different ages. Walked from the end of the hallway.

"Madame!"

When she saw the old woman, Sarah's tears flowed down her face.

"Sarah, why are you back?"

The old woman was also a little excited when she saw Sarah.

She didn't know what she was doing when she came back, and although she was very happy, she was also worried.

Because the women who live here know that only Sara can live a good life when she is outside.

But now that Sara is back, isn't that a chance given to Mary?

The old woman was puzzled by this.

You must know that Sara is the pillar of the family now, and if it weren't for Sara, these women would have died in the dungeon long ago.

"I'm coming back with my husband to take over the manor, and I'm going to take you back at the same time."

Sara hugged the old woman for a while, then let go of her, then raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said goodbye to the old woman.

"Husband?"

As soon as Sara said this, all the women froze.

At this time, the old woman noticed Zhao Hongyu and Emma behind Sara, as well as Wang Shan.

Zhao Hongyu walked over at this time, nodded to the old woman and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Hongyu, and I am from the Song Empire in the Americas." Now Sara is my wife and the princess of the Song Empire. ”

Song Empire?

Princess?

The women obviously felt that their brains were not enough, and they were a little overwhelmed.

But the old woman was quick-witted, and soon she figured out everything that was going on.

It seems that he and the others were able to be released because Sara married this American...... Young man.

Although Sara was the widow of the Samuel family and inherited the title of the Samuel family, there was no law that said that she could not remarry.

Therefore, the old woman did not show any displeasure about Sara's marriage to Zhao Hongyu.

It's just that what the old woman didn't expect was that Zhao Hongyu looked too young.

Sara is much older than Zhao Hongyu, and she is with him...... That's a little too much, isn't it?

"Please, we don't know a lot of things yet, if you can, can you tell me about this old man." , The old woman turned sideways and brought Zhao Hongyu and them in, after all, it is always difficult to stand here and chat.

The women also showed curious looks, and some of the younger ones would peek at each other from time to time.

And they are also very interested in Emma, although the outfit is the same as Sarah, but Emma's appearance is not European at first glance.

"Sarah, do you know that we've been worried about you. When we were captured, we thought that something had happened to you in America, or Mary would not have used the Royal Guard Musketeers to arrest us and free those we had captured. ”

As she led the way, the old woman took Sarah's hand and told her what had happened since she left.

"Mother, you are right, I am indeed very dangerous in the Americas, and if I hadn't met him, I would have been killed by them in Quebec."

Later, after Sara poured herself out of Quebec, she told the old woman all the things that had happened to her.

The Quebec magistrates and military officials, as well as the threat and danger to Sarah, made the women breathe cold.

"These people were originally the subordinates of our territory who were anxious to take care of our wealth, but I didn't expect them to betray us for their own interests, and they also provoked a war with the Indians."

The old woman sighed.

"Mother, don't sigh, these people are all dead, at the hands of the Indians. Quebec was no longer able to defend at that time, but thanks to his help, it was able to retake Quebec. ”

When Sara talked about Zhao Hongyu, a flush flew on her face.

"How old is he?"

The old woman asked in a low voice.

Hearing the old woman ask this question, the women around her also pricked up their ears for fear of missing something.

The flush on Sarah's face intensified.

"Sixteen Years ......"

Do old cows eat tender grass?

Sara, your charm is undiminished, you can make such a stunned young man fall in love with you.

I'm so young, younger than me, Auntie.

For a moment, the woman lowered her voice and chattered to Sarah.

"Shut up, now is not the time to discuss this." , The old woman glanced back at Zhao Hongyu, who was not far behind her, and then scolded the women who were excited to gossip.

As soon as the old woman spoke, the women left and closed their mouths, but they all winked at Sarah, which obviously meant that they were talking to her at night.

"This ...... This one...... This age is a little younger, only sixteen years old. ”

After scolding the women around her who had turned into eight women, the old woman coughed for a while, thought about the wording, and then said something from her heart. (To be continued.) )
