"I'm sure you've already guessed who I am, but let me introduce myself first." On the premise of not **, the woman expressed a friendly attitude towards Barot and Chun Guixiang, and then introduced herself: "I am the wife of Cruxiu and the queen of this country, and my name is Joan of Arc in the language of your conversation." ”

Hearing the other party's introduction, Barot seemed to think of something, and he looked up and down the princess who called herself "Joan of Arc" with contemplative eyes.

Noticing his appearance, Su Dongpo was a little curious about what he was thinking, but compared to these, it seemed that there were more important things to be solved now.

Facing Balott's gaze, Joan of Arc seemed to guess something, she didn't care much, but the bodyguards behind her couldn't turn a blind eye, as soon as they noticed Balot's gaze, they immediately stepped forward to stop between the two, their faces were not very friendly, and they looked like they were going to fight if they didn't agree with each other.

Unexpectedly, Su Dongpo's eyelids jumped twice, and he clearly understood that the atmosphere was very bad, so he hurriedly pushed Barot's shoulder, and then the other party who realized his gaffe coughed dryly, and said: "I take the liberty to ask, I don't know what is the relationship between you and the historical saint 'Joan of Arc'?" ”

Joan of Arc asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that?" ”

Barot replied truthfully: "To tell you the truth, it's not just your name, I think your appearance is seven or eight points similar to the 'Joan of Arc' left in the church." ”

Joan of Arc shook her head and said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Barot, I don't have anything to do with Joan of Arc, but I just happen to have a similar name and appearance." ”

Barot seemed to be smiling: "The princess said that she was laughing, it was me who was rude, and I should be the one who should apologize." ”

Jeanne d'Arc smiled noncommittally, she did not continue on the topic, and changed the subject: "In order to prevent a riot, I will trouble the two of you to call me by my surname 'Mary'. ”

"It's ......," Barot hesitated and didn't compromise, "Not very well. ”

Not only him, but even the bodyguards who followed Joan of Arc disagreed: "Imperial Princess, this can't be ......"

Joan of Arc waved his hand and motioned for the bodyguards to step back, still smiling and saying, "There's nothing wrong with it, after all, everyone in this country knows my name, if you call me the princess or Joan of Arc, I'm afraid it will cause a commotion in the country." ”

"This ......," Barot still hesitated, but then he compromised: "Okay." ”

After confirming his attitude, Joan of Arc turned his head to look at Su Dongpo again.

Su Dongpo didn't say anything about this, he spread his hands and said with an indifferent attitude that he didn't stick to these.

After introducing themselves and reaching a certain consensus, because of the presence of the bodyguards, there were some things that Barot and Su Dongpo were difficult to talk about, and they only said a few polite words to Joan of Arc to each other, and then left the room together.

After that, Joan of Arc's reaction was nothing out of the ordinary, like a tour guide, explaining the characteristics of the night scenery and the places that confirmed the prosperity of the kingdom, as well as the famous dishes of the capital.

Free sightseeing like this was originally very rare for Su Dongpo, but for him who was still living in an ordinary family not long ago, this kind of extravagant living habits made him feel uncomfortable, and the sightseeing was better, seeing a table full of luxurious seafood and other delicacies, he didn't have much appetite, so he just ate some out of politeness.

Thankfully, he wasn't the only one who did this, Joan of Arc and Barot didn't eat much, and they just ate a little to fill each other's up.

After supper, the time was almost ten calls in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the leisure time of the rest, the vigilance of those bodyguards was also relatively relaxed, and Su Dongpo, who was discussing the plan, just made a look, Barot instantly understood what they meant, nodded in response, and the two acted separately.

The plan is also simple, that is, Barot temporarily lured away the bodyguards, and then took advantage of this gap to sneak into Joan of Arc's room from the pre-planned route.

Originally, Su Dongpo was worried about whether there would be any accidents, but fortunately, these seemed to be unfounded, and things went unexpectedly smoothly, so he slipped into Joan of Arc's room without much effort.

As soon as she entered the room, Joan of Arc was still vigilant, and even prepared to attack: "Who is it?!" ”

When she confirmed that the person who came was Su Dongpo, she was relieved and didn't seem surprised.

Speaking of the other party's reactions, Su Dongpo finally made sure that he and Barot were right this time.

Speaking of which, this is indeed a big gamble, after all, it is just the conjecture of the two of them from beginning to end, if the bet is wrong in the end, then the position of the two people who are already in an embarrassing situation is even more delicate, and the best situation is at least that they can't stay in this country, and the bad point may be charged with some crimes, and it is difficult to say what will become of it then.

Having said that, out of caution, Su Dongpo still kept a certain distance from Joan of Arc.

And in the conversation after that, although it was Joan of Arc who opened his mouth first, the other party did not say it directly, but pretended to be stupid: "Little brother Su Dongpo came to me, I don't know what happened?" ”

This ambiguous tone really has to make people suspicious.

Since the other party didn't go straight in, out of caution, Su Dongpo first thought about it before speaking: "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious, do you have anything to say to us, Imperial Princess?" ”

This time Joan of Arc was blunt: "Are you doubting Your Majesty? ”

Su Dongpo's mood was a little delicate, but on the surface, he still greeted him with a smile: "The imperial concubine thinks too much, I'm just curious, and I don't doubt His Highness's meaning." ”

Seeing that Su Dongpo was young but an old god was there, Joan of Arc couldn't help laughing, but maybe because of her higher education, there was only softness in her smile, but there was no ridiculous faux pas.

It is precisely because of her attitude that Su Dongpo's thoughts are very subtle, and he can't afford to have a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

And she only chuckled twice, then put away her smile, and said kindly: "Actually, I do have something to say to you when I come to you this time." ”

Thinking that it might be related to Moriel Domon's whereabouts, Su Dongpo's heart was occupied by joy and curiosity, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm: "If the imperial concubine has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, if you can't mention it to others, I promise to keep your mouth shut." ”

"I have something I want to ask you for help with......"

When the conversation with Joan of Arc ended, Su Dongpo did not stay in this room for long, and before those bodyguards found out, he secretly left the room, and soon after Barot received instructions, he simply perfunctory bodyguards came back.

The tour did not end with this episode, after Joan of Arc and Barot led him to enjoy the night view in other places, the most beautiful of which was another tower in the center of the capital, standing on the top of the tower, not only could you see the prosperity of the city, but also the astronomical telescope in the tower.

They didn't have much interest in Su Dongpo and Barot, but because it was Joan of Arc who took the lead, they didn't want to be too perfunctory, so the two still observed each other for a while.

Time passed quickly during the sightseeing, and before they knew it, it was already late at night, because it was already late, so they did not continue shopping, but returned to the hotel with Joan of Arc's pick-up.

As for the other party, Joan of Arc, as the imperial concubine, did not stay, but returned to the hotel under the escort of bodyguards.

Seeing Joan of Arc's luxury car go away, Su Dongpo and Balot, who were in the hotel room, closed the curtains and left the window.

Later, because there were still important matters to discuss, out of caution, in order to prevent being bugged while leaving the hotel, they still searched every corner of the room for the first time.

As a result, the two of them did not find anything in the room for surveillance, such as bugging devices.

After confirming this, Su Dongpo and Barot returned to the living room and had a discussion about what happened today.

Barot: "What do you think about today's events?" ”

always used this sentence to emphasize the host-guest position, Su Dongpo was naturally very dissatisfied: "Don't give me this set every time, otherwise I think we will go our separate ways." ”

The corners of Barot's mouth twitched a few times, he was a decisive person, and at this time he was not blindly insisting on the "active" position: "Then what do you want to know?" ”

The other party's compromise seemed to be expected, and Su Dongpo randomly answered and asked: "What do you think of the king Kluxiu?" ”

"Very suspicious." Barot pondered for a moment, but then suddenly changed his words, "Although I want to say this, from today's conversation, from any point of view, he thinks in the interests of the country, and he can't find any flaws at all, so I think he should have nothing to do with Morrilldomon." ”

Su Dongpo sneered: "It seems that our positions are still inconsistent!" ”

Barot was puzzled: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Su Dongpo went straight to the point: "What else can it be, today's conversation between you is obviously that the king has the upper hand, but he doesn't have any extortion, don't you think it's very suspicious?" ”

"I thought you were trying to say something, but that's what it is." Barot looked relieved and explained: "It's no secret, there are quite a few powerful families behind our church, and they have some trade contacts with this country, and the reason why Kruxiu didn't investigate too deeply, I think it may be because of their pressure, so they have some scruples." ”

Although this made sense, Su Dongpo couldn't help but feel suspicious: "That's it?" ”

Barot spread his hands and put on an innocent look: "You also know that I am only responsible for fighting, and I am not in charge of these interests at all, so even if you ask me so, I can't give you a positive answer." ”

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Su Dongpo didn't want to stiffen the relationship: "I don't know the interests of your church, so it's better to treat it as such for the time being." ”

Barot smiled and said noncommittally, "Aside from this, do you think there is anything strange about it?" If you have one, you can say it. ”

Su Dongpo shook his head: "The others are probably as you said, I don't think there is anything suspicious." ”

Speaking of which, Barot seemed to think of something, and his words changed: "Speaking of which, you went to see Princess Joan of Arc today, I don't know what she told you?" ”

Su Dongpo didn't mean to hide it: "She asked me to help her with something." ”

Barot's eyes narrowed slightly: "She asked you?" ”

From his eyes, Su Dongpo saw his intentions, and changed his words to emphasize again: "To be exact, it's not me, but us." ”

Barot asked curiously, "Since I'm also the object of the request, then you should be able to tell me about this, right?" ”

At nine o'clock the next morning, the princess of Joan of Arc came to the hotel room again surrounded by several bodyguards, and its purpose and intention are self-evident, it is nothing more than to continue the previous sightseeing, after all, last night because it was dark can only enjoy the night view, and there are some special foods, and there are not so many restrictions during the day.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this plan, but because of the previous request of Princess Joan of Arc, today's trip did not go as scheduled.

As for the content of this request, it is not difficult to say, but it is the opposite to say that it is simple.

What is not difficult is that Barot's approach is the same as yesterday, just trying to lure Princess Joan of Arc's bodyguard away, this first step is quite smooth, and the second step is Su Dongpo replaces the original bodyguard and accompanies Princess Joan of Arc to play in the city.

The play referred to here is Joan of Arc temporarily stepping down as a tour guide and a princess, and playing in the city without restraint.

It's not that hard, after all, it's been successfully implemented today.

Without the care of the bodyguards, without the pressure of the identity of the imperial concubine, Joan of Arc is like an ordinary girl, happily playing in the city, and also buying all kinds of clothes in some stores, that unrestrained appearance, not to mention pedestrians who don't know their identity, even Su Dongpo is very skeptical, whether this person is really the imperial princess of this country, after all, this is completely different from the impression that Joan of Arc gave before.

According to the original expectation, it should not be too long to be free and easy to do like this, after all, Joan of Arc is the princess of this country, and the situation is different from yesterday, she is not in the room, and the bodyguards must have noticed her disappearance, and the news will be very popular when it spreads.

However, this was not the case, and it was not until he returned to the hotel to meet Barot that he realized that the reason why what had happened today did not cause much movement was because Crusius had acquiesced in it.

Of course, as the king, Kruxiu has doubts about Su Dongpo's strength, to put it simply, Barot and these bodyguards are all not far away to monitor him and Joan of Arc.

As a result of being counter-routine, Su Dongpo was still a little unhappy in his heart, but fortunately, it should not be a bad thing at least if things can go smoothly, and after today's matter is over, his efforts have not been in vain.

Joan of Arc: "Thank you today, and I won't forget the kindness I promised you." ”

Although it is only a verbal promise, and no one can say whether the other party will fulfill the promise in the future, but this sentence alone is believed to be of great help in the future actions in this country.

Soon after this incident, that is, less than an hour after Joan of Arc returned, Su Dongpo and Barot received another summons from Rhodes III "Cruxiu", as for the reason for this summons, it was actually very simple, that is, their gamble today had an effect.

According to Crusius, after the princess returned to the palace, because she helped to speak, it was a kind of reward for the efforts of the two, and Crusius said in advance that the matter of the forces behind Joelsen Baimon had been resolved, that is, they had restored their freedom in the country.

This was originally good news for Su Dongpo and Balot, but what no one expected was that Cruxiu suddenly provided Morieldomon's whereabouts, but this was not good news, roughly Morieldomon took a plane in the capital this morning, and the destination was other countries outside the border.

According to Crucius, his country happened to have close trade ties with its destination, so he asked the contact country to pay more attention to it, but unfortunately it still failed, the plane fell halfway, no one survived the plane, and they did not find any trace of Morriel Domon.

On the surface, Su Dongpo believed it, but in his heart he was suspicious of Cruxiu, until after returning to the hotel, Barot contacted the people in the church and asked them to check whether this was true.

The results of the investigation are almost the same as what Crusius said, not only that, because all the signs indicate that the murderer is the only one who cannot be traced, Morrilldomon has now become one of the "terrorists" wanted in this country, and by the way, Cruxiu seized this opportunity to push the crime and death of Joelsen Baimon on him, and it is because of this that Su Dongpo and Barot were able to get free in advance.

Of course, since Kruxiu had betrayed his favor in the name of Joan of Arc, it was naturally impossible for him to inform Su Dongpo and Barot of these details, and the second half of the information was a conjecture made by the two of them based on the information they had obtained so far, and all kinds of indications of this information showed that this was also true.

But even so, Su Dongpo, who was emotionally lost, still had a hint of luck: "Is there really no way to find Moriel Domon's whereabouts?" ”

Barot looked apologetic, "I'm really sorry, our people have tried their best, but they still haven't found any clues." ”

Su Dongpo was very unwilling, but he was really helpless, so he fell headlong on the bed after losing most of his fighting spirit: "Then what are you going to do next?" And I continue to go elsewhere in the pursuit of Moriel Domon? Or did they part ways? ”

"Well......" Barot, who couldn't make up his mind, didn't seem to be decided, he hesitated and pondered for a moment before speaking: "If you really want to continue to track down Morieldomon's whereabouts, I have a good idea. ”

Su Dongpo, who was surprised, immediately sat up from the bed: "What idea?" ”

Barot smiled and replied, "If you want to find Morieldomon, I recommend that you go to a well-known place, and I happen to know of such a place. ”

After Su Dongpo calmed down after being surprised, he vaguely noticed that there was something wrong with this matter, and he was not in a hurry to respond immediately.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and after carefully observing it, he said without warning: "Is this your purpose?" ”

The result was a big surprise to Barot.

According to the original expectation, he thought that Su Dongpo, who had lost his goal and fighting spirit, should fall into a state of decadence, and then lose his ability to judge, but what he didn't expect was that his purpose was still seen through.

felt a slight headache, but Barot did not admit his guilt, and defended: "This skillful is a misunderstanding, I just said my advice, and I didn't mean to calculate you." ”

Su Dongpo would not have believed this kind of one-sided statement, not to mention that Barot's expression had a similar wavering reaction, which was naturally even more impossible.
