037. North Italy One United Front (1) 4400 words

And Su En looked at the servants beside his father, the tears of his wife, and ten months later, his son was born with a birthmark similar to his father's back.

They all let themselves be in pain and anger.

Originally, he wanted to forget it, but one day when he went to Norwegian last year, he heard rumors in the field that his father had a tryst with his wife.

Maybe it's true, maybe it's fake, and Soun starts to get drunk.

Every time I enter the palace, I look at my son, who is loved by my father and held on his lap.

Suan wanted to escape London.

Gradually, rumors of his disagreement with his father spread.

After William, who was far away in Scotland, took control, he began to send people to contact Sune.

Su En was reluctant to do so, but William secretly sent a large number of people to spread rumors that Su En wanted to rebel, as well as the woman who slept with her son on her long legs.

Even if they are as close as father and son, in the whirlpool of the royal court, between women and the succession to the throne, the relationship between father and son is gradually estranged.

Suan and Longlegs began to be suspicious.

When the name of "Black Prince Qiong'an" was called, it was rumored that the king was going to depose Su En.

He finally went to the opposite side of his father.

"Father, don't blame me, you forced me! Do you know how much pain I have......"

Soun wiped away the tears that had fallen from the letter.

He wrote all the king's forces in a letter, and sent messengers to deliver them to Scotland.

In this battle, the long legs have a high chance of losing, and they may be captured, and they may flee back to their homeland.

But even if he returned to London, Suan would convene a meeting of nobles, personally negotiate peace with William, let William withdraw from the army, and force his father to retire by virtue of protecting London.

Of course, England has since been a dependency of Scotland.

But Su En thought to himself, they are all red and white roses of the same family, so who wins and who loses?

Titles come and go, he can't control so much, he can no longer see his father summon his wife to the palace at will.

I couldn't let myself smile at my unidentified son anymore.

Everybody was thinking about it.

Two days later, the Black Prince was also supported by Viscount Meng Gao.

Be prepared to save yourself.

Outside the London Palace, there is a small harbor where you can dock your boats.

Viscount Meng Gao and the Black Prince were observing the terrain.

Leary also followed, and he got a fake ancient sword, the most widely imitated style, recorded in the portrait of the "sword in the stone" pattern, and also got a little light stone powder, and painted it on the sword.

Then the sword was sealed, wrapped in cloth, and tied with a thick rope, which was attached to the bottom of a certain hull, and secretly lowered into the water.

"Your Highness, tomorrow you will come here to inspect the ships.

After this time, our people will shout that they have found a treasure in the sea, and we will pour fire and water into the lake first, and form a strange scene, and when the crowd gathers, you will take advantage of the chaos and no one will see it, take the sword, open the package, and hold it high.

A sword coated with light stone powder will emit a brilliant light.

At this time, our people will shout that this is the sword in the stone, and they will say that King Arthur's sword has been found by you!

Spread the word and let all believe it.

Then we'll take London down!"

"Do you have to do it? Meng Gao?"

"Your Highness, don't be soft-hearted, if it weren't for the last time, we accidentally discovered that Scottish spies had infiltrated London, and even entered the palace, we wouldn't have known that His Highness Su En had dealings with them.

You also saw the letter last time, it was a conspiracy between His Royal Highness Su En and William.

Since that day, I have sent people to monitor the people around His Highness, and the day before yesterday they sent a message out, but I intercepted them on the way.

I haven't shown you the letter yet, but you'll agree with my proposal after reading it. ”

MENG Gao. Dan took out the secret letter with his old hand.

The more the black prince looked at it, the more uncomfortable his face became.

"Brother Wang really wants to kill me and sacrifice it to William!"

"You almost shot William with an arrow the last time you defeated him, he is a man who has revenge." Meng Gao said again, "Your Highness, you know my loyalty to Your Majesty and you, and everything I do is for the long-term future of England. ”

"Then you intercepted the letter, and the secret envoy can't send it out, Brother Wang must know?"

"No, I still let the messenger send the letter out, because the family of this envoy has been controlled by me and Lery, and his parents and children are in our hands.

And stole me to take the secret letter, imitate the penmanship, and wrote a fake letter.

In my letter, I pretended to be His Highness Suan, saying that because of the rebellion of the nobles in the east and London at the same time, His Majesty had transferred half of his troops and abandoned the east to protect London.

If William believed it, he would definitely storm His Majesty, and even divide his troops to besiege the east, which was completely fine, and His Majesty had gathered heavy troops in Wales, and the chances of defeat were very small. ”

Meng Gao saw Qiong An fall into deep thought, pressed Qiong An's shoulders with both hands, and stared straight at him, "If you don't do it first, I'm afraid that we will die in a dream!"

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Qiong An made a sad look, but where Meng Gao couldn't see, his expression immediately returned to calm.

The fact that Brother Wang wanted to kill himself made his brother's affection a lot less.

The next morning, on the originally calm lake, Qiong'an arrived on horseback.

Now he was also a hero of England, and many recognized him and saluted.

In addition to the people arranged by Meng Gao, there are also other Kingdom ships that are loading and unloading.

When Joan appeared, he shouted to all the sailors in the harbor, "Now that the war is raging, I will patrol the ships to avoid any enemy from entering." ”

As he spoke, Qiong An began to inspect the boats, waiting for the others to walk to the boat arranged by Meng Gao.

The arranged sailors secretly set the water surface on fire.

As the crowd screamed, Joan ordered the fire to be extinguished, and at the same time pulled up the cloth sword tied under the ship.

Subsequently, it was the same as the script arranged by Meng Gao.

"Treasure found!"

"There is something in the sea, in the hands of His Highness Qiong'an!"

The deliberate guidance of the sailors drew everyone's attention, and then Joan opened the cloth and held it high in the air.

The upper part of the fake stone sword was rubbed with stone powder and oil, and when the sun shone it, it gave birth to heat, and then it ignited, and the sword body burst into flames.

The hilt of the sword is made of specially constructed stones to prevent the fire and temperature from reaching his hands, which is a trick of folk jugglers, but Qiong'an, who held the fire sword high, deceived many people, and he heard more and more exclamations in both ears.

"The sword emerges from the lake, it is a sword in the stone!"

"The sword in the stone has appeared!"

"King Arthur has appeared."

These lines were shouted by Meng Gao's men, and Joan fell to her knees on one knee in the boat, looked at the sky and saluted King Arthur, and asked, "O Holy King of England, I, Joan. Lancaster, for guidance on where the kingdom is headed?"

First Qiong An knelt down, then Meng Gao's men, and then the people on the periphery

Hundreds of people saw it.

Joan pretended to be inspired by God, and after a while, he got up and looked at the crowd, "I have been enlightened!" There are traitors in the kingdom!"

At the same time, Viscount Meng Gao also took Su En's letter to William and took it to the English court.

Originally, the palace minister didn't believe it, but after seeing the letter, and Meng Gao presented more evidence, and even brought the family members of the secret envoy to the front.

The penmanship and seal on the letter, as well as the tone, as a former teacher of the prince, Gong believed it.

So he signed an arrest warrant and immediately convened a temporary meeting of nobles.

On this day, the atmosphere on the streets of London was unusual.

As soon as the decree signed by the palace minister was in hand, Meng Gao followed Leri and immediately marched to the palace with the cavalry.

Before noon, nearly 400 people surrounded the palace.

Meng Gao shouted outside for Su En to come out.

Suehan, who was signing the decree inside, saw this scene from the high platform.

He immediately ordered that all entrances to the palace be sealed.

Seeing that Suan's men were about to resist, Joan immediately ordered to charge.

At this time, there were only more than sixty guards in the palace, and they could not resist the premeditated Qiong'an side, and the main gate was immediately breached.

At this time, the long-legged second son, Olessi, was also in the palace.

When the accident happened, he hadn't figured out what was wrong?

When he heard that Qiong'an was leading troops to attack the palace gate, he immediately brought in the guards who were loyal to him to protect him.

He also turned his back on his father, for fear that he would be found out by Qiong'an, and he wanted to flee out.

Just when he escaped from a no-man's path behind the palace gate near the royal forest, he happened to run into his brother Su En.

The two brothers were so frightened that they didn't speak.

A cold arrow was fired.

The arrow hit Olesi in the thigh, and Suhn shouted at the guards to protect him.

Joan's men suddenly appeared, surrounding both princes.

"Brother Wang, where are you going?"

Joan was wearing a visor, and only his eyes could be seen.

Olesie shouted in pain, "I won't fight, you let me go!" We are the same mother, Brother Wang. ”

"I'm not going to do anything, I just want you to see me think about England and listen to me more." Joan Road.

"Listen to you, listen to you."

Olesi saw Joan walking slowly, and became more and more frightened.

But at this time, Su En, who was injured by the arrow, suddenly endured the pain, pulled out the short sword on his waist and stabbed Qiong'an in the heart.

Shocked and angry, Joan swung her sword over.

After this sword flashed, Su En's waist was broken, and the blood couldn't stop flowing, and after a while, he fell down, completely unresponsive.

"Brother Wang! You killed Brother Wang!"

Olesie pointed at Joan, his face full of disbelief.

"Me!"

Joan dropped her sword on the ground and looked at the sword in her hand, as well as Olesi and her men.

"If I tell my father, you will be beheaded and hanged, you 'family killer'!"

This sentence made Qiong'an vicious.

He looked at the trail behind him, and no one came.

This is a path connecting the forest outside that I told the two brothers after I found it when I was a child.

He used to play here with the two royal brothers.

Can ...... now

Joan was angry and took her sword and stabbed at Olesi.

His martial arts are superb, from the Knights to England, he has been in battle many times, and his strength and self-confidence are not comparable to the two princes who are pampered.

The second prince also died, and his throat was sealed by a sword.

Joan then ordered that both princes' men be killed.

He brought twenty men, but the two princes had only eight, and they were surrounded again, and none of them could escape.

In the end, there were 16 of his 20 men left, and all 8 of Brother Wang's men were killed.

But Qiong'an's heart still couldn't calm down, he was afraid of failure.

He said to his subordinates with red eyes, "Brother Olessi found out that Brother Suen wanted to escape, so help me stop it, between the two brothers, they didn't both die, understand?"

Qiong'an's subordinates nodded one after another, anyway, he followed the prince, and now that the two princes are dead, isn't Prince Qiong'an the only crown prince?

As long as you keep it a secret, you can get many benefits.

"Your Highness is right, the two princes fought against the sword, and unfortunately both died."

Seeing that his subordinates nodded, Joan ordered the corpse to be brought back.

But that night, when the sixteen were having dinner and sitting in their dreams, first one of them suddenly fell drunk, and then, like dominoes, all of them fell, and never woke up again......

That night, the princess, who had returned from her mother's house in another county, saw that the palace was in chaos, and the two princes had become corpses, covered with mourning cloths.

She cried red eyes, and when she heard Joan's words, she immediately passed out.

When she woke up, Joan was by her side, she raised her palm angrily and slapped Joan in the face, but her weak strength didn't even leave a single palm print, "I shouldn't, shouldn't, give birth to you, a cursed child!"

Joan performed the last courtesy of her life to her mother, then turned and went out, never saying a word to her mother again.

Su En is dead, and his henchmen are dug up to find more evidence of alleged collaborators.

And the second prince was commended as a hero for his righteous act of killing his relatives.

Joan immediately regrouped and marched in London.

He was so scared now, he didn't know what his father would do if he knew the truth?

He wanted to convince more people that he was King Arthur, that he had a sword in stone, and he said to Meng Gao, "Quickly, let all the people of England regard me as the embodiment of the Holy King." ”

In this way, Joan was granted more and more things related to Arthur, including bizarre rumors that when he was born, the appearance of a holy angel appeared above the palace......

……

William's face was grazed by arrows and flying stones, and the court physician bandaged it and listened carefully to the king's wrath.

"Su An, this dog mongrel, dare to give me false information!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, your wounds will be inflamed."

"Tap!"

"Your Majesty, we have lost too many people, what should we do now? I think it's better to withdraw from the army, and fight again, it's winter, and we will be even more tired when we return home. ”

"What troops to retreat, continue to increase troops!"

"But our treasury is about to bottom, and the opposition of merchants and nobles is getting louder and louder."

"Against? When I win the battle, who of them will dare to say anything? If you don't have any money, you should borrow it from the church and let the church pay taxes. ”

"But the Church monks are priesthood, spokesmen of the Father on earth."

"Do you think it's still the same as before? Now there is the Apostolic See in Rome, there is also Venice, there is still the Holy City, and if they do not pay taxes and provoke me to anger, I will also stand on my own!"

The Scots have the brutal blood genes of the Vikings

Although he guessed that William was angry, it also scared the nobles enough.

"I tell you, businessmen don't even want their children and relatives for money, do you believe them to say that they don't have money?

There are also nobles, as nobles, they must be more sympathetic to the difficulties of the sovereign, collect the tax income of the following year first, transfer the wounded soldiers back to the country to recuperate, and get another batch. ”

William is like a gambler who doesn't admit defeat, and he will continue to gamble until he and one of the long legs die.

Welsh territory, in the midst of a strong stone fortress.

The long legs bite the steak, use the wine as water, and pour it in large gulps

The three nobles who followed him on his expedition were also the same.

The four of them had just gone through a fierce battle, and William, who was on the other side of the army, didn't know what was wrong, and chose to launch a night attack last night.

After a night of hard fighting, Long Legs repelled his hand.

"Your Majesty, we can't burn everyone who dies in Suge."

"Yes, you smell it, the air is still filled with the stench of corpses, maybe tomorrow when you look, these Scots are running back with their tails between their legs."

"Now if only there were a woman, Lao Tzu could come to him eighteen times."

"Haha, you old thing."

But the long-legged and his subordinates were happy for less than a day, and the next morning, in his sleep, he received a letter from London.

It was written by the palace minister.

"My King, a faithful servant of England, the Hand of the King...... Here's something to tell you, His Highness Su En collaborated with William, and has now been corrected, and His Royal Highness O'Lessi, the second law enforcer, ......"

When he saw this letter, his long legs were dizzy, and the strength of the wine that had not yet completely subsided made him have a headache and fainted.

The north is in full swing, and Bran on the peninsula is not idle.

When Durham set sail, it was just before Long Legs was ready to go out into the army.

So Durham didn't know that there was chaos in the north right now.

At this time, he was following Bran to meet with nobles from all over the peninsula.

Officially joined Bran's "Northern Italy United Front".
