Chapter 448: Never Put Your Life in the Hands of Others

Constantinople.

"His Royal Highness."

"Come in."

As Zhu Zhan's voice sounded, Xing Kuan pushed open the door and walked in, and after a simple check and confirmation of his identity by Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping, Xing Kuan walked to Zhu Zhan's side, leaned over and said something in Zhu Zhan's ear.

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanyan raised his head in a little surprise, and seemed to be very surprised.

"So she walked out of the Pyrenees on her own, without your help?"

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, yes!" Xing Kuan lowered his head and determined Zhu Zhanyan's question.

"Hehe, you can ......" Zhu Zhanyan leaned back in his chair, laughing with a little satisfaction, but also a little surprised.

Joan of Arc would run, which he had long expected.

Zhu Zhanyan does not believe in such nonsense as "those who have received revelations from the Lord", and he never believes them.

He has had a special experience, although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, but deep down he does not deny their existence, he can only say that although he does not believe in them, he respects them.

However, from ancient times to the present, those so-called legends and supernatural phenomena, Zhu Zhanyan does not believe in them.

Not only did he not believe it, but he also believed that more than 99% of it was a lie made up by people for the sake of desire.

For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guangze Township of the Qin Dynasty rebelled, stuffing strips of cloth in the belly of the fish and imitating the fox to shout "Da Chuxing, Chen Shengwang" and other things.

Therefore, for Joan of Arc, "the person who has been inspired by the Lord", Zhu Zhan Yan believes that it is also the behavior of human beings, driven by desire, to take advantage of the ignorance and so-called supernatural precedent of people in this era.

As to who the mastermind and implementer of this "man who has received the revelation of the Lord" is, it can only be said that there are only a few possibilities.

First, Joan of Arc did.

Under this speculation, Joan of Arc is a very ambitious person in his own right, and in this way he gains power and ultimately realizes his desires.

Second, the Holy See or the royal family did it.

Consolidate his position through such a "man who has received the revelation of the Lord", after all, the Kingdom of France was in turmoil at that time, and even Charles VII had to hide with his mother-in-law.

However, Zhu Zhanyan felt that this possibility was not very large, because if it was the court or the royal family, it would be completely possible to select such a "person who has been inspired by the Lord" in the Holy See or the royal family, instead of using Joan of Arc.

But none of this matters, because in Zhu Zhan's view, whether it is Joan of Arc, the Holy See or the royal family, they are all wastes on the chessboard in the end, and sooner or later they will be cleared out.

"But......" Xing Kuan's face was full of wanting to speak, and he wanted to say but was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyan's brows furrowed.

Xing Kuan will have this reaction, which proves that something must be out of control, but seeing that he was not in a hurry when he came, it means that the degree of loss of control is not large.

"Those Ah San ......" Xing Kuan hesitated a little, leaned over and explained in Zhu Zhanyan's ear.

"Hmph......" Zhu Zhanyan sneered twice when he heard this.

"I have known for a long time that those Ah San are restless masters, but I didn't expect that I couldn't control my crotch in just two years, and I wasted what I did in Barihei......"

"But it doesn't matter......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at Xing Kuan.

"Send a message to Yolanda of Aragon, telling her that I had Jeanne d'Arc take her to the Kingdom of France, in order to see what was going on in the Kingdom of Aragon, especially near the Loire."

"However, now those Ah San are out of my control, let her help me deal with them!"

"Yes!" Xing Kuan bowed and received the order.

There are advantages and disadvantages to Zhu Zhanyan's approach, but on the whole, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

The good thing is that if he does this, he will be able to explain the reason why this ten thousand Asans appeared in Zaragoza, so as not to leave the handle to Yolanda.

After all, it's not a good thing to do it to an ally, although Yolanda must also understand Zhu Zhanyan's true purpose, but sometimes, you can't tear your face on the surface, but in fact, you can't tear your face.

In addition, Zhu Zhanyan can also solve these disobedient Ah San by the way, it will be bad sooner or later for a disobedient person like this to stay in the army, rather than waiting until he goes to the battlefield to do bad things, it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

As for the disadvantages......

First of all, this matter will label Zhu Zhanyan as a lax emperor, but Zhu Zhanyan doesn't care, anyway, his reputation is already rotten, and it doesn't matter if he has anything else, he doesn't have to worry if he has more lice and doesn't bite more debts.

Moreover, if this label of the Imperial Majesty is not strict, it may also be beneficial in the future, such as making the enemy despise, or maybe making the enemy wait for the Ming army to make the same mistake at some point.

This situation is very rare, but it is not impossible to be absent, it belongs to the kind that does not matter, and it is better to have it, which is the icing on the cake.

Also, this incident may make people realize that the Ming army is not a monolithic problem.

But this is not a big problem, because Zhu Zhanyan knows that these Ah San will only dare to do anything wrong after they are temporarily out of his control, and they will not dare to mess around under their own hands.

Not to mention, these Ah San's families are still in the Delhi Sultan, if they really dare to rebel against the water, it would be really good, and they would have a reason to carry out a purge of the Delhi Sultan.

After all, rebellion in the army is a capital crime, and it is a joint offense, at least three clans, and more than nine clans.

"Alright." Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head.

"Tell Qian Yong to prepare to leave for Venice and gather with the soldiers of the Uszangdu Division who came to support this time."

"Yes!"

……

The capital of the Grand Duchy of Mosk, Mosk.

Zhu Sanfeng wiped the blood on the saber very lovingly, and only after making sure that there were no blood stains on it did he put it into the scabbard.

"General Zhu, does this person have to be kept?" Chen Mao scratched his head and looked at Yuri, who was tied up by five flowers on the ground.

"His Royal Highness has instructed that he and Vasily II must always have one, and at the moment we have not found his brother Vasily II, so we can only send him back."

As he spoke, Zhu Sanfeng glanced at Yuri on the ground again.

"I don't want to carry this burden with me, but I can't help it."

……

Yuri, who was lying on the ground, struggled violently and spit out a few words, but Zhu Sanfeng didn't understand it.

"What is he talking about?" Chen Mao frowned and looked at Zheng Heng, who had come to the European battlefield with him.

However, Zheng Heng couldn't understand either, so he could only spread his hands helplessly.

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Sanfeng waved his hand and threw the silk cloth he had just used to wipe the saber in his hand into Yuri's face.

"Let people take it."

"I wish the general ......"

Just as Zhu Sanfeng was about to leave, the guard sent to her by Zhu Zhanyan spoke.

"The translator just said that this Yuri was saying that he had a way to get his life."

"Oh?" Zhu Sanfeng's face was filled with an expression of interest.

"Let the translator come over."

"Yes!" Zhu Sanfeng's guard bowed, and then beckoned to the translator not far away.

"I wish the general." After the translation, he first bowed and then began to explain.

"This man said he was hiding a man who could exchange his life."

"Hmm." Zhu Sanfeng nodded when he heard this.

"You ask him, who is it?"

The translator bowed, and then whispered a few words to Yuri, who also replied in a hurry.

"I wish the general." After listening to Yuri's words, the interpreter turned around.

"This man said that he hid his brother in the secret room, and said that it was because he did not yet have full control of the current Grand Duchy of Mosk, so there were many things that he ordered in his brother's name, so he kept his brother."

"You ask him." Zhu Sanfeng frowned when he heard this.

"As far as I know, his brother Vasily II must have fled to the Golden Horde, but I didn't see his brother in the capital of the Golden Horde, so his brother should have fled or been taken away by someone else."

"So, I don't think his word can be trusted unless I am allowed to see his brother."

"Yes." The translator bowed, then turned his head and relayed Zhu Sanfeng's words.

Yuri said a few words in a hurry, and chrysalis on the ground several times, as if trying to stand up, but without success.

"Congratulations to the general." The translator turned his head to look at Zhu Sanfeng.

"He said the chamber was here, and he could get people out right now."

……

Zhu Sanfeng looked around when he heard this, and then looked down at Yuri on the ground, his brows furrowed.

After a few breaths, Zhu Sanfeng seemed to have thought about it, and bowed his chin to the guard next to him.

Soon, Yuri on the ground was untied, and after bowing to Zhu Sanfeng repeatedly, he looked at Zhu Sanfeng cautiously and pointed to the saber on her waist.

Zhu Sanfeng didn't say anything, and directly signaled to her guards.

Yuri took the knife and walked to the back wall under the guard of the two guards, then slashed the knife against the wall before carefully returning the knife to the guards.

Zhu Sanfeng looked at the wall, with a look of understanding on his face, and walked over.

The silk mural on the wall was originally a single piece, and it was supposed to be glued to the wall with an adhesive such as paste, but after Yuri slashed it with a knife, the gaps that had been hidden by the strokes were revealed.

Zhu Sanfeng nodded at the two guards.

I saw the two guards tie Yuri up again with their hands and feet, and then carefully pushed open the door on the wall and walked in.

After a while, the two guards went and returned.

"General Huizhu, there is a small secret room at the bottom, and it is a dead room, there is no exit, there are three men, two women and five people in it, one of them is a man and a woman who are older, like parents, and the other two men and one woman are younger, they should be children."

"According to the information and portraits we have obtained before, the older man should be the former Grand Duke Vasily II of the Grand Duchy of Mosk."

Zhu Sanfeng nodded when he heard this, and then turned around and left directly.

It's just that before leaving, Zhu Sanfeng waved his hand.

Soon, a terrible howl came from the room that had belonged only to Grand Duke Mosk.

After a while, the people inside walked out one by one, and at the end of the line, a dead man was dragged out.

It is none other than the current ruler of the Grand Duchy of Mosk, Yuri Dmitrievich.
