Chapter 158: News Returns

In the cool morning light, in the king's tent of the Chinese army's tent, the king was enjoying his meal after breaking through the castle, I don't know whether it was a supper or breakfast, and the king was enjoying the food when suddenly someone stood outside the tent and came forward to disturb him.

"Your Majesty, excuse me!" A voice came from outside the tent, disturbing the king's eating, and the king put down his knife and fork and shouted to the man outside the tent, "Come in, Loclis, and I hope you will give me a good answer for disturbing my eating." ”

Loclis bowed slightly and came in through the curtain opened by the chamberlain, turned the screen, and reported to King Richard: "Good morning, my Majesty the King, the outer scouts have brought back a messenger, who has brought news of the main lords of Paris. ”

His Majesty Richard the Lionheart was half a pork chop, and with his right hand, which was covered with a ring of jewels, he took a cherry tomato from his plate and poured it into his bearded mouth. Hearing the words of the Earl of Nottington, he immediately stopped the movement of his hand.

The king stretched out his hand to the Earl of Nottington and said to him, "Bring the people in, I want to know the conversation between them, and go and bring them quickly." ”

The Earl of Nottington nodded yes, turned and left the tent and went out. After being assassinated many times during the ten years of war, King Richard I of England made it a rule that no one but the noble knights and the knightly attendants on duty could approach the King's Tent for any reason.

It was for this reason that the Lord Earl of Nottington trotted all the way down the hill and called the messengers who had been stopped outside by the guards, and conveyed the king's order to summon them with a few of the guards, and returned to the king's tent with a few messengers.

The Earl of Nottington bowed and bowed to the king's whisper in the king's tent, "His Majesty's messenger has arrived. ”

"Let them in, I want to know what good news my cardinal has brought me." His Majesty's voice came from the tent, and he entered the tent with three messengers bowed his head to meet His Majesty King Richard.

His Majesty King Richard, who was standing in front of a leather map looking at the strategic map on it, immediately turned his head and made a nostalgic gesture to the three messengers who were kneeling and saluting: "Arise, my child, and tell me, what good news my Lord has brought me?" ”

The three messengers did not dare to actually get up on the spot. The Earl of Nottington handed the letter to the king, who waved them up again and confirmed the wax-sealed insignia on the letter. Unwrapping the outer coating, the real stack of letters was unfolded.

The leader of the three messengers stood up and bowed his head to answer the king's question: "Your Majesty the King, the cardinal wants you to march quickly and reach Paris as soon as possible within a few days, the cardinal has taken full control of Paris, just wait for you to be crowned later......"

"Hahahaha! Is this letter true? The messenger who informed the kings of the countries about the coronation was already on the way? Just waiting for our army to march into the city of Paris? It would be great if that were the case. My cardinal was really nice to me. ”

The king's cry of joy interrupted the messenger's words, and his brother became excited, and his beard and long golden hair swayed in the wind, like a lion, and he was particularly excited at this moment, for he had arranged for the king to go to France simply to stabilize the people, and wait for him to lead his army to conquer the whole of France.

But before leaving, he simply told him about the plan that was almost impossible or even crazy, but what he didn't expect was that this crazy plan succeeded. It turned out that after the king simply returned to the port of London, England, he was warmly received by the king, and he even obtained a church priesthood for him.

Hearing of the death of the King of France, King Richard, who was politically sensitive enough, immediately decided to send him to Paris to lobby the people, at least not to let them establish the successor of the next king until he led his troops into Paris.

However, before leaving, the king met the king at night. Under the guidance of the guards, he entered the palace to meet the king, and remembered that the king was sitting in the main seat of the castle hall at that time, and the king was simply taken in by the guards and brought in to meet His Majesty.

When the king saw Wang Jian coming in, he immediately gave up continuing to study the matching sword in his hand, and asked Wang Jian very enthusiastically: "You came to let Renault, do you have anything I need to do for you?" Hear them tell me, do you have some advice for me? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I do have something to tell you, may I ask you something?" After the king simply entered the main hall, he still saluted the king in a proper manner, regardless of his identity as a cardinal, and then stood aside and asked solemnly.

His Majesty seemed to be very surprised by such a question, and took it very seriously, and put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard at his waist. Without thinking, he looked at Wang and smiled simply, "Of course, you can also ask me any questions you want." ”

And this answer is exactly what he expected, and he said: "Your Majesty, I want to know what the country and the army are doing now. Why does it seem that the army is massively massing, haven't they been fighting for a whole decade? ”

Faced with the king's simple and knowing advisor, the king's affairs seemed to arouse interest, and he wanted to know what he would say next, so he replied in a proper manner: "The kingdom is preparing to take over the conquest of France. I can't just gather troops in England, and I ordered the Normandy Territory in France to gather troops as well. ”

Wang Jian was pleased with the king's answer, and immediately continued his question: "My dear majesty, may I make a suggestion to you?" Questions about our next aspect of the war. ”

The king understood that he had come here to say this for the sake of what he wanted to say next, and was naturally willing to listen to him, so the king nodded and did not speak, motioning for him to continue. And Wang Jian was very satisfied with his attitude. It's like a plan and a plan you want to implement......

The king saw the letter at this moment and heard the messenger's words, and could not help but sigh with emotion, such a plan that he had no hope at the beginning had really succeeded, although he had received an advance report that he had begun to control the whole of Paris, but the king never believed it.

This time, however, not only did he receive a simple written letter from the king, but at the same time, his own trusted messenger brought the news that he had successfully taken control of Paris and awaited his rapid advance, so that His Majesty could not continue to hesitate.

The opportunity to march into Paris and be crowned king is at hand, and anyone has to think about it, and His Majesty feels that his future is more important, and seems to be a little inclined to march steadily towards Paris.

Although the messenger had seen the good situation in Paris in his favour for the king, he had always been obedient to the king's decision. He didn't dare to say anything deeply, only hoping that the letter from the cardinal, who was held by the king, would have a certain effect.

However, he did know the king well enough, and although the king saw the letter, and was very excited about its contents and what the messenger himself had described, he did not look at himself again. He didn't look at the letter again, but just rolled it up again and held it in his hand.

The king looked back at the hanging map, thought for a moment, waved his hand at the crowd, and asked the count to send the messenger out......

Robin Hood and the others were carrying arrows, heading towards the camp with the arrows they had just consumed in the battle. After a battle, the castle was easily captured, and the king ordered the king's camp to be moved to the back of the hill where the castle was located.

At this time, Robin Hood and the others, who were paying attention to the situation of the king's tent, saw the king's guard leading three messengers out of the central tent where the noble knights lived, and walked towards the camp behind.

Robin Hood looked at them, knowing in his heart that this was the turning point of the next battle and the next task, he looked at his brothers beside him, and waved his hand to signal Xiao Han to follow and see the situation.

This is also an unexpected gain, after all, Wang simply didn't expect that Xiao Han could still follow Robin Hood's gang in order to really learn superb archery, and what he didn't expect was that Robin Hood didn't really run away and was still in King Richard's army.

Xiao Han nodded at them, and ran to the camp behind to determine the location of these people. If Wang simply took the path of completely detaching himself from the main plot of the movie in the real sense. So what Xiaohan is pursuing now is absolute archery.

Because his purpose is very clear, he is still following Robin Hood and the others, and after a period of contact, she has successfully penetrated the interior of Robin Hood's small group. Now these people have completely applied him as their own, and they no longer have a sense of detachment from him as before.

Xiao Han followed behind the four men, and soon came to the vicinity of an ordinary camp, the king's army on this expedition to France was even larger than when he returned from the Crusades, with 30,000 archers and 10,000 men, plus 10,000 infantry, a full 50,000 ordinary troops, and 3,000 knights.

Therefore, the camp was large enough, and most of the troops led by the nobles were recruited similar to the government military system in the early Tang Dynasty, and each aristocratic class was responsible for leading various numbers of warriors according to their own titles and bringing them to be recruited.

Therefore, even a good commander like Richard the Lionheart could not eliminate the problem of faction separation, although he tried to control the entire camp by his own descendants. But because of the distrust between the nobles and the lack of harmonious relations, this camp is much larger than the normal camp of 50,000 people.

These three messengers were apparently members of King Richard's lineage, so their camp was arranged at the outermost periphery to enclose the entire camp to prevent the camp from happening. Xiao Han followed the three messengers and a member of the King's Guard for a long time before they reached their destination.

Squatting in the shadows to make sure that the three of them entered the camp to rest, after the members of the King's Guard left, Xiao Han did not leave directly as Robin Hood had arranged, he was a quirky participant after all, not Robin Hood's real little henchman.

Xiao Han took out a ring with the family emblem of Wang Jian's virtual identity that Wang Jianjian left for him when he was separated from Wang Jian's secret conversation, and Xiao Han took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and changed into the overcoat and armor that Wang Jianjian left him. He entered the messenger's tent as a bishop's brother.

The messengers were amazed at his arrival, but had to show respect when they saw the pattern on his robe, for they recognized it as the emblem of the cardinal's family, the second most powerful man in England.

Xiao Han saw that they were very nervous, so he took off the lock of the chain mail gauntlet, revealing his hands with sturdy thick leather gloves, signaling them not to be nervous, and walked around the narrow and aggrieved small tent, and then remembered to introduce himself.

Xiao Han shook his right hand with the ring, and deliberately showed the ring with the family crest on his hand to the three guys who didn't dare to look at him. The three guys were even more certain that this was a relative of the Bishop, and that he was a nobleman with a title himself.

"My lord doesn't know what to call Bishop Renault, and why it is late at night, uh no, it's early in the morning, I don't know what the three villains can offer you, and I don't know what the noble lord commands. If there's anything we want us to do, please speak up. ”

The leading herald messenger was indeed a delicate man, and he was very decent in every word and deed, that is, he expressed his purpose clearly, and he also appeared very humble and polite, to the point of impeccable, which made it very pleasant to talk to him.

Xiao Han obviously felt this person's ability, but he was not Wang Simple, and he didn't have the habit of receiving anything, although he felt that this person was very good at dealing with people and communicating with people, but he couldn't get up any love for talent.

"My brother, Cardinal, has crowned Renault, and now what? Has he already taken Paris? Xiao Han is accustomed to sitting on the street begging for a living, and his ability to observe faces and looks is unmatched, and he deliberately reveals a news that others cannot know to scare them.

His prestige was very successful, and he was really a central figure through the previous paragraph, which made several people have a further understanding of Xiao Drought and a more deferential attitude towards him, and the messenger quickly revealed what he and his party had seen and heard in Paris this time.

After listening to this, Xiao Han encouraged them a few words and left the camp, changed into the previous archer suit at the back of the people, and then turned back to the camp in his own direction. Go and send back to Robin Hood and the others what they heard.

Before they could be in the camp, the whole camp was brought to life by the king's call, and the whole army was about to be marched out. (To be continued.) )
