Duke Humphrey's two retainers began to think of ways to save Joan of Arc as soon as they received the news from Duke Humphrey.
The two were originally young retainers in Humphrey's house. Humphrey saw that they had outstanding qualifications and trained them as his staff. They ate and drank in the house. Some time ago, Humphrey rebelled and his London mansion was occupied.
These two retainers were originally going to go with them, but Humphrey was cautious.
The two were young, and not many people knew about them. It might be better to stay in London as internal agents, which came in handy at this time.
Looking at the tower, the two of them were helpless. The tower was made of stone. Although there were some places on the surface where there was strength, it was still impossible to climb.
Just when the two were distressed, there was a muffled sound, as if something fell from a high place. The first reaction of the two was to hide their bodies and take advantage of the moonlight to look quietly, and saw a figure standing on the soft mud of the moat.
When he stood up, he had the figure of a woman.
The two looked at each other in shock, and quietly approached.
Joan of Arc slowly climbed up from the mud. At this time, her insides were tumbling, and a mouthful of blood spurted out uncontrollably.
Just now, Joan of Arc was trying to save herself in the tower cell. She relied on her physical strength to climb out of the window. She struggled to get her fingers stuck in the gaps in the stones, trying to find even a small foothold to climb down.
After crawling two steps with difficulty, Jeanne was exhausted all over. Her fingers and toes were so stiff that they were about to cramp. Her shoulder was in severe pain, and blood oozed from the wound that had just been bandaged, causing her unbearable pain.
In the end, she only climbed down a little distance before she couldn't hold on and fell.
During the brief moment when she fell from the sky, what appeared in Jeanne's mind was the scene of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, that ungodly prince, riding a white horse and meeting him for the first time.
God, will you save me?
Joan of Arc fell on the soft mud. Although the impact was huge, she never thought that she would survive. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, she became even more convinced that God was protecting her.
"I'm not dead, I'm not dead, God is protecting me." Joan of Arc actually laughed at this time.
Two figures slowly approached her, and Jeanne whispered warily: "Who?"
"Is this Your Excellency Joan of Arc? We were sent by Duke Humphrey to rescue you."
As soon as she heard about Duke Humphrey, Joan of Arc thought of Zhu Zhanyi. She naturally knew that Zhu Zhanyi and Duke Humphrey were now in an alliance and occupied a large area of land in the northern part of Ingeland.
"Is this what Minghaiwang means?"
The two nodded repeatedly, stepped on the wet soil, and soon fell in.
"Lord Joan of Arc, please leave quickly. You made a loud falling sound just now. Someone may come over to check the situation later."
At this time, the two of them looked up at the tower, still a little unbelievable that they survived after falling from such a high place. If they told others, they wouldn't believe it.
Joan of Arc finally ran out, and happened to meet the people who came to save her. As long as she followed them, there was a high probability that she could run out, but at this time she was stunned on the spot.
"Your Excellency Jeanne d'Arc, Your Excellency Jeanne d'Arc."
The two called to the stunned Jeanne and wanted to take her to escape quickly to avoid being discovered, but Jeanne was stunned on the spot.
The lights in the distance had already turned on. They must have discovered that Joan was missing and would look for her after a while. But at this time, Joan said: "You guys go."
"Ah?" Both of them were dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?
Joan of Arc looked at the window she climbed out of and murmured to herself with a smile: "Everything is God's arrangement. God is already blessing me. He has responded to my piety. I will repay God's gift.
I will remain here to spread God's mercy to all the foolish."
The two of them did not understand what Joan of Arc meant.
Joan of Arc felt that her immortality must be the blessing of God, and she could not just leave like this. She believed that God had heard all the unfair judgments against her, and she must have a more important mission, and she must bring God to justice.
Tell these ignorant people about your gifts and educate them.
This made the two of them stamp their feet anxiously, because there was mud under their feet, which almost caused them to fall into it.
Not far away, a fire lit up, and a group of people came over with torches. If they didn't run at this time, they would have no chance. The two of them didn't care much, so they pulled Joan of Arc and tried to run away, but Joan of Arc couldn't move.
The two had no choice but to leave her and run away.
She is now like a woman who firmly believes in investment fraud. She just believes that she will get a return, and a huge return.
There are two kinds of people in this world that you can't wake up even if you beat them to death. One is the middle-aged man who is tired and pretends to be asleep. The other is the woman who firmly believes that she can make money by investing.
A group of Ingeland soldiers found Joan of Arc on the river bed. She was covered in mud, but she stood there looking at these people with the eyes of a loser, which made her feel a little less confident.
The soldiers who looked at her with such righteous and awe-inspiring eyes felt a little scared. Most of them were religious believers. The psychological pressure of imprisoning and trying such a woman was actually quite high.
Joan of Arc just stood there and surrendered. The guards came forward and tied her up with a rope. Joan of Arc said righteously: "On behalf of God, I forgive you for your sins and your evil deeds. You can tie me up and judge me."
God will hear me and guide me to the right path."
The two people who were hiding in the dark to save Jeanne looked anxious and had no choice. They were definitely no match for this guard, so they had to evacuate first. They were very upset for missing such a good opportunity.
Lady Catherine was alarmed by Joan's escape from prison, and early in the morning Lady Catherine came to the tower where Joan was imprisoned.
The original window was now sealed, and the entire cell was even darker, even if the light was on during the day and night.
The whole body was so dirty that it couldn't be cleaned, and it really exuded a fishy smell. Lady Catherine couldn't help pinching her nose, with a look of disgust on her face.
"You have been judged guilty by the Holy See, why are you running away? You have betrayed your faith, how can you have the nerve to say that you have received an oracle, a false saint, it is really ridiculous." Catherine sneered as soon as she opened her mouth.
Joan of Arc was not angry but said calmly: "Your trial is not fair. I ask the Holy See for a new trial and I ask to see the Pope."
"You are not qualified."
"You can never make me give in. God will eventually guide me. Even if I die in the darkness, God will lead me to heaven. But you are different. No matter how beautiful you are in clothes and decorated with flowers, your souls
Still a slave to the devil."
Lady Catherine was furious, not because of Joan's few words, but because of Joan's attitude. She originally came with a condescending attitude towards interrogating prisoners, and Joan had experienced the torture yesterday,
It must have lost its momentum.
But now Joan of Arc still raised her head proudly and spoke her thoughts with a righteous face, which made her extremely angry.
She should beg for mercy from herself, she is just a prisoner, a defeated general, and a prisoner.
The angry Lady Catherine glared at Joan of Arc. She hated this stubborn woman and shouted: "Come here, cut off all her hair. Don't you want to cut it short and become a man? Cut it all off for me."
Already."
Joan of Arc was unable to resist and was caught by the soldiers. One person used scissors to cut off Joan of Arc's hair completely, and finally it became a short and short haircut.
Joan of Arc's appearance at this time made Lady Catherine burst out laughing: "Saint of France, who can call you a saint with your appearance now?"
"Someone came and took off her clothes for me."
She was only wearing a thin prison uniform, but the guards tore her clothes into pieces.
Joan of Arc's figure is stronger than that of ordinary girls. After all, she rides horses and fights all year round, so her figure is well-proportioned and her muscles are quite beautiful.
Lady Catherine was even more jealous when she saw her almost perfect body.
The men are watching from the side, this is the saint of France.
"Drag her out for me. I want everyone to see the true appearance of the saint of France. I will cover her body with mud, smear her cheeks with excrement, and parade her in the streets."
Joan of Arc huddled in the corner, trying to cover her body as much as possible, but the soldiers took her out. She was just a teenage girl who attached great importance to her chastity. To be humiliated like this, she
Finally cried.
She prayed silently, hoping that her God would hear her and save her from humiliation.
But countless sludge and feces were thrown at her. She didn't dare to open her eyes, closed her mouth tightly, and didn't even dare to breathe. When she couldn't hold it in any longer, she took a breath and felt countless stinking things pouring out of her.
Entered the nasal cavity.
In an instant, I was convulsed and vomited.
The soldiers pulled Joan out, who was lying limply on the ground, locked her in a cage on a donkey cart, and then paraded her through the streets.
A stinking donkey cart was walking slowly on the main street of London. The ladies who were having their usual afternoon tea pinched their noses and pointed at it with a sneer.
"Is this the French saint?"
"What a saint, French women are all slutty and dirty whores."
"You said she was a woman leading troops to fight, how could so many people follow her?"
"I heard that she is good at riding horses. She must be very good at riding. Maybe all the men in France have learned how to do it."
"That's a lot of people, haha."
Their wanton detractors laughed at Joan of Arc, and the voices on both sides of the street were loud. Some words and fragments kept pouring into Joan of Arc's ears. Joan of Arc felt that she had suffered endless humiliation, and she wanted to die in anger.
.
But she felt that committing suicide was against God's will.
She stared blankly at the sky: "God, will you come to save me? Is everything your arrangement?"
She regretted not running away last night. She didn't understand why she had to suffer such humiliation since God allowed her to live. The groggy Joan was exhausted and slept in a cage.
Bang
Something hit her on the forehead, and the pain was very strong. When she woke up, she realized that it was the people of Yinggelan who were throwing stones and mud at her.
These people hated Joan because their sons and husbands died on the battlefields of France. Joan could see their heartfelt hatred, which was completely different from Lady Catherine's jealousy of her.
The Lamb of God bore the wrath of the world on his behalf because people dared not bear to grudge God.
The bruised Joan of Arc was brought back to the cage after the parade. She was still huddled in the corner. Lady Catherine watched her changes with satisfaction and let out a sharp laugh: "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, every day from now on."
I took Joan of Arc on a parade every day, just like today."
Covered in mud, Joan fainted again. In her dream, she went to the holy heaven. In her dream, she saw a pure angel, but an oriental long sword passed by, and only the young prince stood face to face with her.
, the two of them said nothing.
…
Zhu Zhanzhen received the news about Joan of Arc and shook his head helplessly: "So, if you want to believe it, just believe it. There are not so many messy things, and there is no such thing as heresy."
The humanistic heritage of a nation can actually be seen from its local religion. If the nation is barbaric and hypocritical, then the religion will also be barbaric and hypocritical. If the nation is gentle and kind, then the religion will also be gentle and kind. Put aside those glamorous disguises and take a look.
The real part inside.
At this time, Zhu Zhanzhen had already boarded the warship. He was planning to return to Suez to have a look. The troops left here still sent people to closely monitor Duke Humphrey.
Duke Humphrey came to see Zhu Zhanchen off and said, "I don't know how long it will take for His Highness to leave this time."
"It won't take long. We mainly go to see the progress of the canal. Once the main canal is opened, our warships can enter the Mediterranean in large numbers and then go to Ingeland. At that time, Duke Humphrey will become the Regent of Ingeland again.
When a minister."
Humphrey had a flattering smile. When he first learned that Zhu Zhanzhen and others were digging a canal, he couldn't help but be shocked. They could actually do such a huge project connecting two days of sea, and they were able to do it.
Yinggelan, who can fight with his own hands, has no power to fight back. What if he waits until the canal is really dug?
This also made him very happy that he was on Zhu Zhanzhen's side.
"Duke Humphrey, continue to send people to find ways to rescue Joan of Arc."
Duke Humphrey was a little embarrassed: "But, Your Highness, because of what happened before, it is probably very difficult to rescue Joan of Arc now."
"Think of a way. According to the news, they will take Joan of Arc to some cemetery for trial in a month. I don't understand your rules. As long as people are alive, there is always a chance. Duke Humphrey, prove your worth.
The time has come."
"Yes...yes...Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanzhen then boarded a warship heading for Suez City. This time he only left two warships, and the main force stayed in Liverpool City to avoid anything happening.
There is only one reason why Zhu Zhanzhen is so anxious to go back, and that is that the Suez Canal is about to be opened.
