After coming out of the palace, Isabella asked Wen Sili in the carriage: "Where are we going?"
"The_city." Wen Sili said concisely and concisely.
Isabella looked surprised.
"London City (the_city)" and "London" are two different concepts. The City of London is a special autonomous territory within the city of London. When the Romans established the Province of Britain more than two thousand years ago, it was in the city of London today.
The central area established its own ruling center, built a strong wall, built a public bathroom and toilet drainage system based on the standards of Roman cities, and implemented a Roman-style classical republic.
Later, Rome fell, but the city of London, covering an area of about one square mile, remained and gradually became the most affluent and advanced town in the entire Britain. About 900 to a thousand years ago, William the Conqueror ruled Britain and started modern Britain.
history, and then the conqueror suddenly found that with his crude weapons and equipment, it was almost impossible to capture the city of London, which was well-defended by walls and covered an area of one mile and was well-equipped with troops.
So William and the head of the City of London reached an agreement, and on the basis that the City of London recognized William's royal power, it also recognized the autonomy of the City of London.
Today's London actually developed from Westminster, a small village next to the City of London. When Westminster wrapped up the old London City Dominion, the British called this big thing "London".
And the small autonomous territory inside is called "the_city", which is the city of London.
How special is this autonomous territory? It has its own laws, manages its own taxes, has its own police system and parliament. Even the King of England must obtain permission from the Mayor of London to enter the territory of the City of London.
At the same time, this small city has accumulated huge wealth through two thousand years of accumulation. Through this wealth, it can control the political situation of Britain.
It helped Cromwell come to power, and then when Cromwell failed to meet its demands, it instigated the consul's divine troops to rebel, prompting his downfall.
Others, such as the Reformation of the Established Church, the Restoration of Charles and the Rose Revolution, are all closely related to the huge wealth held by this small town of only one square mile.
Because of this, the first thing a new British king does when he ascends the throne is to go to London to visit the city's parliament and mayor. Isabella also once entered the ancient city wall that was reinforced with runes and engravings.
Dealing with those old men. But that was a long, long time ago.
For so long after she became queen, she never set foot in this mysterious city within a city protected by a solid wall.
No wonder she was so shocked when she heard about the destination.
"You mean, the big criminal is hiding in London?"
"It is not accurate to say that he is hiding, because many people know that he is in the city, but no one will tell the British government the news." Wen Sili looked unwilling to say more, "Many people have long wanted to hide in Hanover.
The flag of the dynasty was replaced by the flag of the City of London, but your Majesty, your ancestors and ministers did a great job in making the Union Jack deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and completely shattered their ideas."
As soon as Wen Sili finished speaking, the carriage stopped. The coachman opened the small window in the front of the carriage and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I...I don't dare to enter that city, so..."
"No problem," Wen Sili answered on her behalf, "I'll drive next."
She put her hand on the carriage door, but did not open it. Instead, she turned back and pointed at the small box placed in the corner of the carriage and said to Isabella: "If you are bored alone, just eat some snacks. I heard your supervisor say that you
I didn’t eat a bite of breakfast.”
"Because there have been a lot of things since this morning. In order to form an alliance with Germany, I have a lot of problems to solve."
Isabella said, taking the box and opening it...
"Oh, the cake smells so delicious, thank you, Wen Sili."

After getting off the carriage, the first thing that caught Isabella's eyes was the huge church. On the lintel of this ancient building, whose design was subtly different from ordinary churches, was the coat of arms of the City of London.
And above the coat of arms, near the triangular tip of the church gable, there is a symbol like an eye drawn.
The all-seeing eye.
Isabella looked up at those eyes, and couldn't help but recall the scene when she visited the city just after she ascended the throne. At that time, she was made uncomfortable by those eyes, and she always felt like something was looking down on her.
Now this feeling hit me again, giving Isabella goosebumps on her back.
At this time, at the top of the church stairs, the girl who seemed to be waiting for Isabella spoke.
"Oh, Your Majesty the Queen, I am truly honored to have you here."
Isabella squinted her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her carefully. Perhaps because she was wearing a black skirt that looked like mourning clothes, the girl looked mature, and the undisguised cunning on her face was even more...
It was completely inconsistent with her young girl's face. However, her blood-red eyes complemented her expression perfectly, exuding a creepy evil smell.
Isabella changed her mind at that time. Her intuition told her that she could not cooperate with the person in front of her. The person in front of her was an absolute evil person, whether as a monarch, a knight who cared about the country and the people, or as a pregnant woman.
Ordinary people with a sense of justice should never join forces with such people.
"Moriarty, I want to arrest you!" Isabella said, planning to unfold the amplifying wings hidden under her skirt.
"Hahaha, I knew you would say that."
Isabella was about to pounce on the girl who was laughing wildly, but found that the amplifying wings could not be opened. At first, she thought it was caught by the skirt, and was about to tear the skirt to pieces, but she couldn't find the strength.
The next moment she fell to her knees, and as her consciousness gradually drifted away, she tried her best to turn around, glared at Wen Sili who was standing behind her indifferently, and squeezed out a sentence: "Wen Sili, you are plotting against me..."
Then Isabella fainted.
Moriarty snapped her fingers, and the door of the Masonic church opened behind her, and a naked woman who looked exactly like Isabella walked out of the church.
"Take off her clothes and put them on, and everything will be fine as per the training."
"Leave it to me, I'm a professional, Professor." Fake Isabella said, adjusting the mask on her face, and began to instruct her men to take off the queen's clothes.
"Is it really okay?" Wen Sili looked worried, "No matter how lifelike the mask is, it is still fake?"
"That's why I need your help." Moriarty said indifferently, "Don't worry, it will be enough until Her Majesty the Queen gets married."
**
In the chaos, Isabella heard the heavy sound of something. The sound made her consciousness start to move again, and the black chaos around her gradually faded away.
Then she heard an unknown voice say: "Sir... this... is not good. If we are discovered, we will be finished. Professor, in this regard..."
"What are you afraid of," another Isabella said with a somewhat impressed voice, "She is the one who is going to marry me anyway, I just came to enjoy it in advance."
Isabella tried hard to recall the owner of the voice, and finally remembered that it seemed to belong to a certain Welsh nobleman who came to propose marriage...
When Isabella opened her eyes, there was only dim candlelight in the room, so she adapted without much effort, and then the face of the Welsh noble suddenly occupied most of her field of vision.
When proposing the marriage, Isabella thought that the aristocratic face was acceptable, but at this moment, she just felt that the big face so close to her was very disgusting...
"Oh, my Majesty, I can finally..."
With a crisp gunshot, the noble's heavenly spirit cap was completely overturned, and his brains were sprayed on Isabella's face. The corpse of the noble who lost his power fell on Isabella's supine body. After death,
His hand finally touched the breasts of the queen who had been longing for him.
And this made Isabella's stomach churn.
too disgusting.
"I told you," it was Moriarty's voice. Isabella's neck was fixed, unable to turn, so she couldn't see the devil, "I hate people who don't listen to me. Obedience brings
Efficiency, efficiency is the guarantee of success. Anyone who ignores my orders will be excluded."
Isabella heard the hammer cock of the revolver.
And the owner of the strange voice she heard at first cried out sadly: "I was forced to do so! Professor, I have been trying to dissuade you..."
The wailing stopped abruptly amid the sound of gunfire.
Then Wen Sili's voice came: "Kill him like this? Isn't this our important supporter?"
"That's right, so he made a will before his death and donated all his property to us."
"What about the marriage?"
"Just find another one. Anyway, our Majesty the Queen won't be able to find fault with her fiancé by then."
Isabella's heart tightened.
"What does this mean?" she asked subconsciously. At the same time, the body of the dead noble was being removed from her body by someone.
"Oh, Your Majesty, it turns out you're awake. Ah, this is really rude. What I just meant is that we will use some wonderful medicines for you to let you experience the beauty of a fairyland on earth, so you won't
No longer do you care about what kind of person you are pressing down on your crotch."
Moriarty's words made Isabella's heart tighten, and she yelled: "You can't do this!"
Almost at the same time, Wen Sili, who had been out of Isabella's field of vision, also said: "Hey, this is different from the plan."
"The plan has changed. After all, isn't it because you failed to persuade our great Queen to give up attacking China and concentrate on dealing with Germany? I am wiping your butt, dear Miss Wensley."
Wensley Churchill was silent. At this time, someone applied something cool and refreshing on Isabella's arm, and then the pain of the hard object piercing the skin tore the queen's nerves.
"No!"
Isabella struggled desperately, but was unable to break free from the locks that held her whole body.
"Strong exercise will speed up blood circulation and make the drug spread faster." Moriarty said proudly from the side.
Isabella suddenly stopped struggling and froze there, not daring to move, allowing some kind of liquid to be injected into her arm.
Fear gripped her heart tightly.
**
Wensley Churchill picked up a dumpling with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth.
"It tastes terrible." She muttered in a low voice. The reason why she whispered was not because this was a Chinese restaurant, but because she knew that her taste was affected by her mood and she could no longer judge the taste of food fairly.
At this time, a pure-accented English speaker suddenly came out from behind her.
"Of course you will find it unpalatable, Miss Wen Sili, how many Chinese restaurants have you visited in the past few days? If you order the same thing every time, you will naturally get tired of it."
Wen Sili did not look back, but continued to eat the dumplings that tasted like wax in her mouth, and then continued chewing to cover up her words.
"Are you the people I'm looking for?"
"It depends on who you are looking for."
Wen Sili only hesitated for a second, and then she decided to take a gamble.
"In my wallet, there is a pound note written in microscript with information that will definitely be of interest to your leader. I will go to King's Station later to catch the train to Wales and send out your best pickpockets.
