Chapter 55: The Heroine Jeanne

Zhu Yunwen's team was very professional, and quickly formulated a set of plans, ready to drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger, take the opportunity to weaken the power of the princes, and complete the reduction of the domain. However, the situation on the ground is more complicated than they thought.

Before the plan had even begun, the nobles reacted violently. The fourth uncle, Philip, rebelled directly and called over. The Parisians had always disliked the king and did not want to resist at all, so they immediately surrendered the city, and the royal family fled to Orleans in the south.

Zhu Yunwen and others were also in the city at the time, but his running skills have always been not bad, and he already has sufficient experience.

Before, he had noticed that the townspeople seemed to be dissatisfied with the king and that the city did not seem to be safe, so he prepared in advance.

When the turmoil broke out, Zhu Yunwen took out the priest's outfit that had been prepared long ago and dressed up as a monk. At night, he set a fire to the dung heaps on the street, and then decisively ran away. The Burgundians searched around the city, but in the end they could not catch him.

The princess was pregnant at this time and was resting in a manor outside the city, when Zhu Yunwen came here to meet the princess and a few cronies. At this time, the road to Orleans had been blocked by the Burgundian army, and in a hurry, everyone could only see the stitches, bypass the patrols and rebels, and flee in the direction of the HRE.

In a pro-French village called Donremi, the group was helped by the villagers to hide and repair temporarily. The princess gave birth to a baby girl here, and Zhu Yunwen named her Zhu Youzhen.

A few months later, the front line gradually stabilized, and Zhu Yunwen prepared to go south to Orleans to find a renunciation with the exiled royal family. Qi Tai dissuaded him, thinking that if he took the initiative to find it at this time, he would be used as a scapegoat by the royal family, and even end up in the wrong end.

Zhu Yunwen hesitated, and the group discussed it and decided to go their separate ways. Zhu Yunwen temporarily canonized Zhu Youzhen as the lord of Joan of Arc, and Bai Qitai as the young master, staying to take care of the children; With Huang Zicheng as the messenger, holding a letter of symbols, he made a detour to Shenluo and sent an envoy to Dadu to seek support; The princess went south with her.

After that, Zhu Yunwen took the princess and borrowed a donkey cart from the villagers to patrol Orleans.

Not long after arriving in Orleans, as Qi Tai expected, Zhu Yunwen fell out with several major nobles of the royal family. The Duke of Orleans accused Zhu Yunwen of being the culprit and imprisoned him.

However, the Duke of Burgundy did not take Zhu Yunwen seriously at all, and was not satisfied with the current results, and refused to make concessions to the royal family for the sake of Zhu Yunwen. Soon after, the Duke of Orleans was assassinated by Assassins sent by the Burgundians, and chaos reigned in the court.

Zhu Yunwen took the opportunity to persuade the jailers and promised them that after he turned over, everyone would have a big official to do. The jailers had never seen this kind of co-optation, and they were blown away by him. When the jailer saw that there was no one to take care of him, he secretly let him go.

As the father-in-law of the Duke of Orleans, the Count of Armagnac was elected to restore order. After being busy and calming everyone, he found that Zhu Yunwen didn't know when he had run away.

The earl counted the time and suspected that Zhu Yunwen had something to do with the assassination and a series of chaos that followed, so he hurriedly sent people to search for him. However, Zhu Yunwen had already run away, and the pursuers even found the poems he left on the wall in the hostel in the town outside the city, mocking the French nobles for being stupid and arrogant, and saying that they must fight back and teach them a lesson.

The court nobles were divided, and some of them were so angry that they had to catch Zhu Yunwen. Others could not tell whether he was blowing it or not, believing that there were too many enemies and that it was useless to blame him, and that the fool of Orleans had offended him purely to shirk his responsibility.

Count Armagnac could only go to the princess, ask her to declare Zhu Yunwen a false believer, let the church rule that the marriage was null and void, and try to find out the whereabouts of the child from her.

The princess agreed to terminate the marriage, but insisted that she herself did not know where the children were. Because Zhu Yunwen is a very vigilant person, everyone has also seen how capable this person is. He must have transferred the child a long time ago.

While they hesitated, the princess secretly sent her trusted servants to Dongremi Village, and asked Qi Tai to quickly take the child and run. In order to prevent him from disobeying his warning, he also asked the servant to bring the seal letter that Zhu Yunwen had forgotten when he fled in a hurry, and ordered him to move immediately after seeing it.

But the royal family and nobles are not stupid, and her every move has long been monitored. This child also has the right of inheritance, which will give other forces a reason to interfere, so the Count of Armagnac and the queen have agreed that they must be controlled first in any case, so as not to have further troubles.

The destination was on the border of the HRE, and he had to pass through several Burgundian-controlled areas, and it was impossible to send the royal army to arrest him directly, so the count sent a team of mercenaries, posing as bandits, to arrest people.

Of course, at this time, there is actually no difference between mercenaries and bandits, so as long as they don't bring the royal flag, others can't tell the difference. The mercenaries followed the servant and found that he was indeed walking towards the village, so they made their way to the end.

Following them to the vicinity of the village of Donremi, the mercenaries decided that the target's situation was beyond doubt and prepared to start the operation. They formed a formation and followed the road towards the village.

There was a small river next to the village, where the mercenaries were going to cross the river and enter the village to arrest people, and the people were very excited to think that they could make a fortune by taking advantage of the situation. However, at the head of the small bridge on the river, there stood abruptly a man in a cloak.

In this wilderness, three watches in the middle of the night, think about it, you know, there will be no ordinary people, inexplicably running and standing here alone. The mercenary captain became vigilant and loudly questioned her about who she was and what she was doing here. At the same time, gesturing and asking a few cronies and veterans to go around and see if there is anyone in ambush.

The man took off his hood, revealing short blond hair, which turned out to be a woman. She said that her name was Jeanne and she studied under the Egyptian Tomb School. On my way home from the south to visit relatives, I happened to pass through here. A Seris merchant from the "Jin Yiwei" trading house told him that there were people here who wanted to plot against innocent children, so he asked her to do justice and expel the bandits.

The captain of the mercenary asked everyone who had heard of this chamber of commerce, and everyone said that they had never been impressed. The largest Oriental trading house in Marseille is the official background of the Purple Horde. They are in the business of currency exchange, so most of the mercenaries, it would be good to know this one.

A few of his men came back one after another, saying they didn't see anyone else.

The captain thinks that this "Jin Yiwei" has never been seen before. Running to such an unfamiliar place, he actually hired only one woman, he must be a little miscellaneous fish character with no common sense. When you encounter this kind of fat sheep, you don't eat it for nothing. It just so happened that the young woman still had a little bit of a look, so she grabbed it together and shared it with the brothers.

The captain then shouted, let everyone work hard, and the lord was greatly rewarded, and then took the lead and rushed forward.
