Chapter 3 Scout Alfonso in action

When Alfonso reached the palace gates, there was already a large crowd of people gathered here, and the queen and his two sisters were there, waiting for him.

He stepped forward quickly, looked around, and asked, "Mother, I didn't see His Majesty, hasn't he come yet?" ”

Isabella showed disgust when she heard this: "Don't ask him in front of me in the future, he won't leave, I don't know which lover (male) house to go to, everyone is here, let's go now." ”

Hearing the queen's order, the whole team moved, although it was exile, but the team was not small at all. There were more than thirty carriages alone.

Eight of them were full of gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, which were the majority of the queen's private coffers, on which she depended for her livelihood and the recovery of Spain.

The eight carriages, as well as six carriages of the royal family and their close servants, walked in the middle, while the other wagons carrying food and grain and grass were a little further back, and the Guards, numbering more than 200 people, protected them on horseback.

No wonder the queen was not nervous at all, as long as Prim did not want to bear the charge of killing the king, he could not attack the convoy, and the other robbers with ideas were no match for the guard.

Politely declining the Queen's offer to ride in the same carriage, Alfonso returned to his carriage, a standard court carriage with a lot of space and no bumps in the walk.

As he passed through the streets of Madrid, he opened the window with some curiosity, although he had inherited memories, he himself had not personally experienced the customs of 19th-century Europe, in fact, he had not been out of the palace for a month.

But when Alfonso saw the fearful and delighted faces of the people of Madrid about their convoy, he felt a deep sting, and his dislike for his own people was indeed a little overwhelming, even if they were more aimed at Isabella.

Closing the window, Alfonso, who was in a somewhat depressed mood, took out the Bible and read it, which he could only pass the time in the 19th century, when there was no means of entertainment.

In addition, it is indeed necessary to make up for the knowledge of the Bible, and setting up a pious personality can add weight to his return to the Spanish throne in the future, and the predecessor Alfonso is also a private person who does not revere God very much, and he can only make up for it on his own.

……

The next day, Alfonso couldn't stand to stay in the carriage all the time.

Taking advantage of the break, he walked to Isabella's carriage, and before he could get near he heard the queen's voice: "Our heavenly Father, may your name be exalted, and your ......"

Alfonso was not surprised, the queen did not know how many times a day to pray, he waited quietly outside the car, and did not push the door in until the prayer was over.

"What's the matter, Alfonso, do you miss your mother, or is there something wrong?" Isabella was a little pleased to see him coming, and asked that in the carriage were the queen and a priest she did not know.

"Mom, I want to ride a horse to protect you, and I don't want to stay in the carriage all the time." Alfonso got straight to the point.

"How can you be, you're only 11 years old, and we're going to pass through the traitor's control zone now...", the queen subconsciously refused.

"11 years old is not young, Mom, you officially ruled at the age of 13, you can control a kingdom at the age of 13, can't I control a horse at the age of 11? And you've seen my martial arts before, trust me! ”

The queen was about to refuse, Alfonso got into her arms and arched twice, she really couldn't stand her son's coquettishness, so she had to say helplessly: "Eh... Well, well, you can go and ask Diego for a pony, be careful not to fall, and do what you can. In fact, she subconsciously didn't think there would be any danger.

"Thank you, Mom, you're so nice." Alfonso had achieved his goal, and was happy to kiss her, but he gave up on the plan when he looked at the thick powder.

After getting out of the carriage, he ran to tell Diego, the captain of the guard, about it, and the other party also happily assigned him a slightly smaller Andalusian horse, after all, he also taught Alfonso martial arts, and he knew what level he was.

Alfonso was a little nervous on his horse, this was his first time riding, but thanks to his predecessor's memory and strong physical fitness, he was a skilled rider in less than half a day.

He then asked Diego for the position of a convoy scout, and followed another veteran scout to patrol the convoy, learning some reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance knowledge along the way.

……

A week later, two riders were standing in front of a forest, both looking a little nervous.

"Your Highness, this kind of terrain is the most vulnerable to ambushes, the forest road is not easy to walk, the convoy will be very long, they only need to ambush one unit in the front and back of the car, so that we can't take care of each other." It was the old scout Lucio, the second son of a baron, who joined the army at the age of 17 and has now served in the Guards for more than 20 years.

Alfonso also looked solemn, he had basically learned the knowledge of scouts this week, and naturally knew that the convoy would be quite dangerous to cross this kind of terrain.

He also had political considerations, and after crossing the forest, he arrived in Bilbao, the large city of the Basque Country, from which they would take a boat to France.

If a hostile force wants to assassinate the Queen, this is their last chance, and the calm along the way makes this a lot more likely!

"I hope it's okay......" After thinking about it, they decided to wait for the other three teams of scouts to converge, a total of 8 people to go in together, if there is really danger, it will not be easy to be eaten quietly.

In a short time, the other six people were at the entrance of the forest.

Alfonso's status was the most noble, but he ceded command to Lucio, "Lucio, you have the most experience, please give orders." ”

Lucio glanced at the seven people around him, and finally swallowed the "Then please Your Highness, you go back first".

Coughing lightly, Lucio said, "Then Pablo and Raul, you two go to the left side of the line, Mario, you two............ His Royal Highness is in the middle, don't be too far apart, let's not take the right path, pass through the woods on the right, let's act. ”

Alfonso was a little depressed, the other party didn't give him a chance to refute, in fact, this week's military career made his strength soar, and his height has grown to 1.5 meters, and he is confident that he can fight 1.5 against ordinary guards.

Moreover, his eyesight and hearing are far beyond ordinary people, and if he is allowed to walk on the periphery, he will definitely be able to better spot the enemy.

The eight of them slowly advanced in the forest, and everyone felt that something was wrong, such a large forest actually didn't hear any birdsong, and the silence was terrifying!

"There must be a problem! Everyone should pay attention, and immediately withdraw and report after confirming that there is an enemy, of course, if you can, estimate the size of the enemy first. Lucio lowered his voice and spoke to the crowd.
