Chapter VII.

Stoke was sent back to his bedroom, and although he was treated in a way that other prisoners did not enjoy, Blanca sent guards to keep a close watch on him, and every time he entered the bedroom, the guards locked the door and led a vicious military dog to guard the door.

Whenever he went to sleep, Stoke would toss and turn in bed, unable to fall asleep, and the actual sleep time added up to only three hours. He thought carefully about what Isabel had said, but he could not deduce what she meant.

The next day, Isabel writes down the plan to woo Stoke on a note and gives it to Blanca to follow suit. After reading it, Blanca agreed, and sent someone to send some new clothes to Stoke early in the morning, and also took away his old clothes, so that Stoke had to wear these new clothes for the sake of his own image.

The morning was supposed to be time for Isabel to rest, but instead of resting, she came to Stoker's door. She concluded from the sound of footsteps walking back and forth in the room that Stoker's heart was restless. So, she knocked on the door a few times, and the footsteps in the room stopped.

"Who is it?" Stoke asked.

"It's me. Isabel replied.

"What are you doing again?"

"I think you're boring alone, and I'd like to walk you outside, if you will. ”

"You accompany me, you are a great hero of the country, come to accompany me as a prisoner, don't you think it will damage your heroic image?"

"Aren't you also a hero in the hearts of the British? A hero must be a hero, there is no distinction between high and low, and in my heart, you are not a prisoner. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Actually, I really admire your perseverance, Blanca tortured you repeatedly, and you didn't tell your secrets, which is difficult for ordinary people to do, and it would be a pity for someone like you to die if he died. ”

"You have deprived me of my freedom, and I am no different from a dead man. ”

"I don't think so. ”

"And what do you want?"

Isabel asked the guards to open the door, "Mr. Brown, the door is open, you can come out now, I'll be waiting for you in the square." ”

Stoke didn't respond, he sat on the bed, facing the open door, and after thinking about it for ten minutes, he finally got up and walked out of the room, and was guided by the guards to the square. He saw Isabel walking towards the gate, so he followed, but was stopped by the guards and the vicious dogs guarding the gate, and after some persuasion by Isabel, the guards let him go. In order to prevent him from cheating, he was always accompanied by two guards and two vicious dogs.

It was the first time Stoke had stepped out of the gates since he entered the Tomahawk Prison, and for him, there was undoubtedly a sense of freshness in the air outside the prison, and it was a great blessing to be able to get out of the prison gates. He took a deep breath and looked out at the locals who were toiling in the morning light in the distance.

The eastern sky was fiery red, the sun was about to rise, Isabel was about to endure the threat of the sun, but fortunately she wore a dragon leather coat, a hat and a mask every day, covering herself tightly, and in the face of the rising sun, she instinctively turned her back to the east to prevent the sun from shining through the gaps in the mask, thus sunburning her eyes.

The sun rose quickly, and instantly covered the earth with a layer of gold, making the people working in joy and joy.

Isabel's muscles and skin also began to react sensitively under the sturdy dragon skin coat, and her blood was boiling. She'd already had the same reaction before, so this time she seemed calm, and if she moved too much, she would be noticed by Stoker. She stared at her lanky figure projected on the ground, and couldn't help but pull down the wide brim of her hat.

Stoker thought she was strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Isabel let out a long breath, pretending to be a little uncomfortable, she rubbed her heart, "I'm a little unwell, can you walk with me?"

Stoke thought for a moment, and felt that there was nothing suspicious about her, "Okay, where to go?"

"Just walk around". She then turned and raised her chin to Blanca, who was keeping an eye on Stoke from the battlements, signaling him to go ahead.

Blanca nodded in response, and then ordered the guards to take a group of prisoners to the execution ground to be shot. When the iron doors on the shady side of Tomahawk Castle rumbled open, Stoke couldn't help but look back, and when he saw some soldiers carrying a group of prisoners coming this way, he couldn't help but stop and ask Isabel, "What happened to those prisoners?"

Isabel shielded her hand from the side of the sun, "Over the years, there have been a lot of prisoners here, they have taken up too many prison rooms, Blanca is going to execute a batch, don't worry, there are no of your compatriots in it, they are all murderers and soldiers who have escaped." ”

Stoke waited until the prisoners passed in front of his eyes before he moved his steps to try to identify them, but the prisoners were covered with sacks, making it impossible for him to identify them. A vicious dog led by a soldier stared at him with a fierce face, barking from time to time.

The prisoners were taken to the execution ground, where the dead man's pit had already been dug. A hundred meters away, there were some local residents who had come to watch the execution. As he prepared to carry out the execution, Stoke feared that his own compatriots were inside, so he closed his eyes. It was only after a chaotic burst of gunfire that he opened his eyes slightly. It wasn't until after the soldiers had left that he hurried to the pit of the dead, and lifted the sacks on the dead men's heads one by one, only to find that there were no of his own compatriots in them, that he let out a long breath, and his tense face instantly showed a relaxed smile.

"You can rest assured this time, right?" said Isabel.

Stoke stepped out of the dead man's pit and patted the dirt on his pants, "If my compatriot died, I wouldn't let you go." ”

"You can walk with me this time. ”

"No problem, but you don't want to know about my state secrets. ”

"I'm not going to know, the more I know, the more I have on my mind. ”

"When did you start hating Napoleon?"

"Ever since his victory at the Battle of Oztritz, I have felt that Europe will not be at peace without this man. ”

"It won't be long before you too become its allies. ”

"Stoker, I ask you, if I give you the opportunity to return to England, will you still make me an enemy?"

"You let me go back to England, it's impossible, I don't believe it, you must have another purpose, I'd better stay in Tomahawk Fort Prison honestly. ”

"Listen to me, Stoker, our enemy is Napoleon, we need not be so suspicious, as long as you can return to England smoothly, we can unite against Napoleon. ”

"Napoleon is a mortal enemy of England, but Denmark is an ally of Napoleon, and even if you want to rebel against Napoleon, your king will not agree. ”

"If my king does not agree, I join England. ”

Stoke looked around, "Isabel, you have to be careful of what you just said, this is not a joke, if you don't get it right, you will die, beware of others reporting you." ”

"Only you know what I say, and if you don't say it, no one will say it. I don't think you will say it either, because your worst enemy is Napoleon, not me. Napoleon wants to destroy you, and I'm helping you, so I want to let you go back to China, hoping that you will be able to recognize friend and foe. ”

"Even if you want to let me out, can that hungry wolf who specializes in 'gnawing the bones of the god of death' promise you?"

"Naturally, he won't agree, but I can find a way to let you out. ”

"You're testing me for 'trying to escape', right?"

"Stoker, I've gotten it all to this point, do you think I'm lying to you? I didn't expect you to say that, I thought you were a hero, it seems that I looked away, you only deserve to be in prison, you are afraid of Napoleon, you are afraid that once you return home, you will accept a new mission, for you, the Tomahawk prison is your only refuge, right? How could King George choose a timid person like you to be the elite of the country, according to this, the people of your military exploration department and military medical department are just some cowards who rely on professional bastards. With that, Isabel turned and walked away.

Stoke quickly caught up with him and offered a friendly hand to him, "Isabel, you're wrong, I'm not what you think." ”

Isabel didn't mean to stop, but quickened her pace, "I think you'd better go back to prison and stay honest, I'm going back to Copenhagen, goodbye." ”

"Isabel, please listen to me. Stoke grabbed her, "Listen to me." ”

"That's it, there's nothing more to say, I'm wasting my tongue. ”

"If you really oppose Napoleon, please come back to England with me, the current situation, only the British navy in the whole of Europe can compete with Napoleon, plus there is the English Channel as a natural barrier, the French army will not easily hit Britain, it is a pity for a famous person like you to stay in Denmark. ”

"I once killed a high-ranking British officer, and King George will not forgive me, even if he forgives me, the people of the Military Exploration Department and the Military Medical Department will not forgive me, and the British Royal Navy will not forgive me. I swore to my king that I would be loyal to him, and that if I were gone, I would be called a traitor, so I could not go anywhere, and I hoped that you would reach London without a hitch, and that one day we might fight Napoleon together. ”

"After hearing your words, I was really moved, what do you want me to do?"

"I'll look for the right moment to let you out. ”

"What if I'm gone and Blanca asks you for someone?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I won't leave him any evidence, you just have to go back to China with confidence. ”

"It's full of Blanca's minions, how can I escape?"

"I'll take the opportunity to help you get out. ”

"I thank you in advance. Actually, I am an officer of the British Military Medical Department's spy team in Northern Europe, and I have a lot of weight in our team, and when I return home, I will tell King George the truth and ask him to forgive you. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

"You're welcome!"

Stoke finally took the bait, and Isabel's plan came true step by step. Kept in the dark, Stoke always believed that Isabel would help him escape and fulfill his promise to fight Napoleon together, but he did not know that he was stepping into the trap that Isabel had carefully dug for him. In order to make the plan run smoothly, Blanca removed the blockade of the coast.

As the days passed, Stoke remained under house arrest, but he showed no signs of impatience, but seemed more patient, as if waiting for Isabel to rescue him. Isabel and Blanca, however, have been spying on his every move.

Finally, one day, from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, came the news of the death of King Christian VII and the accession of a new king, Frederick VI.

When a new king ascends the throne, there will inevitably be certain changes in the court. Just when Isabel was confused about whether she could continue to be reused, the news came that the new king had ordered her to return to Copenhagen to receive the new generation of the highest license badge, which showed that the new king was also full of trust in her and would definitely use her. The new king trusted her so much that she would not be able to refuse, let alone go to thank her personally. As a result, she had no choice but to move forward with her original plan.

In order to make sure that the plan was foolproof, Isabel disguised Stoke as a Danish Royal Guard and boarded the fleet back to Copenhagen, hoping that he would be able to return to England by boat from Copenhagen.

Previously, Isabel had an agreement with Blanca, and if Stoke could be successfully taken for herself, all the credit would go to Blanca alone. Therefore, the greedy Blanca feared that Isabel would take the great credit for herself, so she went on the ship with Isabel on the pretext of "going to swear allegiance to the new king in person", hoping to show herself in front of the new king when she arrived in Copenhagen, so as to get promoted.

When the fleet arrived at the port of Copenhagen and everyone disembarked, Isabel asked Stoke to disguise himself as a merchant while the soldiers were unprepared, and then board a merchant ship bound for London, England. In order to grasp Stoker's whereabouts after returning home, Blanca had already arranged eyeliner on the ship, which would follow Stoke all the time. Isabel watched the merchant ship leave before she breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, Blanca came to her and said with admiration: "I admire you for your resourcefulness." The old king has really chosen the right man, and if he lives, he will be happy for you. Your plan is perfect, you first let me block the coastline, and then deliberately let the two prisoners escape, and when the fugitives learn that the coastline of Amae Island is blocked, they will inevitably not be able to leave, and they will lurk in the nearby towns, peeking at the situation of Tomahawk Castle, trying to gather more information. On that day, you knew that there would be a lot of locals going to watch the execution, and the two fugitives would also be in there to watch, so you asked me to execute a group of masked prisoners in front of Stoker, the purpose of which was to make the two fugitives mistakenly think that Stoke had betrayed his compatriots, and after the execution, you deliberately appeared close to Stoker, which made the two fugitives believe that Stoke had betrayed the country. Next, you asked me to lift the blockade of the coast, in order to allow the fugitives to leave Denmark and find an opportunity to return to England to expose the news of Stoker's 'mutiny' to the Order. When the fugitive has almost returned to England, you are about to let Stoke go, and it happens that the new king has ordered you to go back, which gives you the opportunity to let Stoke go in advance, and your plan is not only advanced, but also more labor-free. When you arrive at the port of Copenhagen, you will find a chance for Stoke to slip away, but he does not know that he has become an enemy of the country, and when he returns home, he will inevitably go to jail or even be executed. ”

"Then he can serve us. ”

"I guess your next step is to go to London yourself, right?"

"Why?"

"Your plan is to make Stoke our man and used by us. Now that the British Detective Department and the Military Medical Department are basically aware of his 'defection,' it is inevitable that he will not be recognized as a traitor when he returns home, and if he is arrested or killed, will your plan not come to naught? ”

"You're right. My plan went well, and it wouldn't have gone smoothly without your help, so the credit is yours alone. ”

"Thank you! You have created a series of illusions that have deceived Stoker, and even deceived everyone in the Military Exploration Department and the Military Medical Department, such a vicious scheme, it is difficult for Stoke not to rebel!"

"The new king has just ascended the throne, and if you can successfully turn Stoke against him and learn some secrets from the British, the king will definitely promote you. ”

"Thanks to you. ”

"Let's go, don't keep the king in a hurry. ”

The two entered the palace in a carriage and, led by the guards, to the king's office, where they met the new king, Frederick VI, and swore allegiance. Isabel had come on orders, and Blanca had come uninvited, and it was obvious that he had come to pat the king, and the king had already seen it, so he rewarded him with a thousand gold coins, and promoted him to lieutenant colonel, and continued to be in charge of the Tomahawk Castle prison, so that he did not take great pains in vain.

The old king supported Isabel, and the new king supported her, and in order to avoid attracting the calculations and jealousy of the vile villains, the king kept her in office and let everyone else step down.

Now, the king has finally taken out the new generation of the Supreme License Badge and personally placed it in Isabel's hands, hoping that she will continue to serve the country and keep the powerful enemies out of the country. And the one that the old king gave her can only be kept as a souvenir.

Since Isabel always wore a mask, others could not see her face, and she was so prominent that it cast a veil of mystery on the impression of others, and at the same time, it was inevitable that it would arouse the king's inner mystery, curiosity, and even lust. So Frederick VI decided on the spot that he would have dinner with her in the evening. (To be continued.) )
