Lafayette, who was sitting at the top, accidentally broke a plate. He pointed at the person in front of him with an excited face and asked with a trembling voice:
"What did you say? Say it again!"
"Your Excellency Lafayette, the Second Army and the Third Army have been defeated by the French army. The commander of the Third Army, Lord Giggs, only led less than ten people back to Lyon, while the other troops returned to Lyon less than
Thousands of people"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lafayette was stunned. He did not expect that the two lines of defense he deployed in the north would be defeated in such a short period of time. Originally, in his plan, this
The two lines of defense had to last for more than a month no matter what, but now they actually failed in a week. In such a short period of time, he could not achieve his original plan of consuming the strength of the French army.
"Any news from Robles?"
"Sir, we did not find Mr. Robles among the people who came back. According to inquiries, Mr. Robles may have given his life for our cause!"
Robles is actually dead? Lafayette is a little unbelievable. Robles is a representative of capitalism among the rebels, and although Robles seems to be at odds with Giggs, it is because of Robles' help that
Only then can Lafayette get the capitalists in Lyon to support him. Once Robles dies and the rebels on the front line are defeated, if the French army approaches the city, Lafayette realizes that the capitalists in the city must
Will become a wallflower.
After thinking for a while, Lafayette forced a smile on his face and said to the man in front of him:
"Willanton, don't worry, we still have 40,000 troops in Enlaize Town. We just received news from Bethany yesterday that he has captured Enleze Town. If Bethany is allowed to rush back now,
By then we still have hope of keeping Lyon!"
Lafayette's words seemed to comfort Willanton and himself, but just when Lafayette finished speaking, a hurried figure broke into the hall.
"Your Excellency Lafayette, I'm sorry, I just received the news that Your Excellency Bertan's troops in Enleize Town have been completely wiped out by the French army Napoleon, and now Enleize Town has been reoccupied by the French army!"
Boom! This news made Lafayette feel as if his head was going to explode.
"you.................."
Lafayette only felt that his vision went dark. Then everything seemed to be upside down.
"Your Excellency Lafayette, are you okay? Someone come quickly!"
A burst of noise reached Lafayette's ears. He tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't.
Just when the city of Lyon was in chaos due to the defeat of the two armies, Crich and Napoleon's army were steadily approaching Lyon. However, due to Lafayette's sudden coma, no defensive measures were organized in the city of Lyon.
.............................
"His Majesty................."
"Shush, Buell, hush."
After hearing William's order, the anxious Buell had no choice but to hold back his words and squatted quietly beside Napoleon. After a while, Napoleon said happily "Here we come." Buell looked at it and said,
I saw a wild deer appearing in the sight of the two of them at some point.
At this moment, William was lying on the grass holding a musket, and his eyes were aimed at the uninvited guest who suddenly broke in.
"Bang!"
There was a gunshot, and I saw that the lead bullet had hit the deer's belly. The poor wild deer was knocked to the ground directly. Just when William stood up and was about to walk over to pick up his trophy, he saw the deer.
The deer got up again, then dragged its injured body and ran away as if by divine help.
"Quick, Buer, let the guards follow. I must catch this wild deer today!"
As he spoke, William quickly chased in the direction where the wild deer was escaping.
"Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please slow down! ... Guards, where are the guards! Your Majesty, please wait for me!"
When Buer saw William running away, he had no choice but to follow him in stride. It was pitiful that he was already in his fifties, but he had to run hard in the forest.
At Buer's call, a group of guards also appeared. After seeing Buer's figure, they quickly chased after him.
At this moment, they were in a small forest north of Potsdam.
William, who was dealing with government affairs yesterday, suddenly felt a wave of irritability. The recent series of events not only killed an unknown number of William's brain cells, but also made William feel depressed. After writing several wrong words one after another,
.William decided to go out and relax, so today's hunting trip took place.
Of course, William did not bring Christine and the others out this time, or in other words, William's hunting was completely kept secret from them. William knew that if he brought those girls out, he would never be able to be clean.
, which is inconsistent with my original intention.
One of the reasons why I went to this forest is that it is not very far from Potsdam. It only takes three hours by horse. Another reason is that I heard that there are a lot of wild deer in this forest, so
William will only appear here today.
While looking at the fast running wild deer, William cursed in his heart
"Is this a deer that has been shot with a gun? I can't tell at all. Is this gun a parallel import or does the wild deer belong to Brother Xinchun? Or maybe I just saw it wrong and didn't hit it at all?"
However, seeing the blood flowing from the wild deer on the grass, William rejected his last idea.
After a while, William followed the wild deer and appeared in an open field. Just when William felt that the light suddenly opened up in front of him, he saw the wild deer rushing towards a group of people who seemed to be having a picnic.
In this situation, when they saw the wild deer delivered to their door, the group of people who were having a picnic naturally needless to say. Three people with weapons immediately appeared among the group of people and aimed at the wild deer.
"Bang, bang, bang!" With three gunshots, the wild deer fell to the ground.
After the wild deer fell, the three men who had just fired immediately walked up to the wild deer and shouted loudly.
"Come on, everyone, this is a big guy. Today I'll let you have a taste of my craftsmanship!"
As soon as this voice finished speaking, the group of people laughed. Seeing this, William had to bite the bullet and walked up.
"Sir, this deer is my prey. I have been chasing it for a long time just now. I hope you can return the prey to me."
William's words made the man who spoke at the beginning burst into laughter. He looked at William for a moment and said contemptuously:
"A kid who ran away from nowhere dares to come here and run wild. We killed this deer. If you say it is your prey, then you can show us the evidence. If you don't have any evidence, what can you say?"
Before William could argue, he saw a few more people dressed as attendants coming from the group. These attendants walked to the wild deer, and then laboriously carried the wild deer to a wooden table not far away.
Perhaps seeing that William's clothes did not look like ordinary people, the man said again:
"Boy, I killed that deer, that's my trophy, don't even think about it."
Well, after hearing what this person said, William gave up his original idea. This person was a brat and didn't take himself seriously at all, although William knew that this person didn't know his identity, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for him to be like this
attitude, but it was precisely because of this attitude that William was very unhappy.
Since William came to power, who has not addressed himself as "Your Majesty", and under such circumstances, seeing someone violating his dignity, how could William give in?
"I said, let's leave the matter of the wild deer aside. It doesn't matter if I leave it to you, but please understand that I am not a brat. Please call me Your Excellency!"
"Haha, boy, you are really funny. I haven't seen a little guy like you for a long time."
As he spoke, the man raised his right hand and put it on William's shoulder, then rolled his eyes as if he had thought of some idea.
"Boy, you injured my deer just now and I haven't settled the score with you yet. You have to know that I have raised that deer since I was a child, so I definitely have feelings for it. Come on, look at how you dress up.
Man, I, Hui Ande, am quite famous in this area, how about you pay me a few thousand silver coins and I just treat this matter as a matter of course?"
Looking at the man in front of him who claimed to be Hui Ande, William suddenly felt dumbfounded. The man in front of him was only in his early twenties, but he seemed so skilled in blackmail, and he was obviously already a veteran.
"Hui Ande, you are bullying me again. Why didn't I know that you had a deer at home, and that the deer was obviously injured, and was chased here by your Excellency? Even if you don't give the deer to this Excellency,
, but you can’t blackmail people like this!”
Hui Ande glanced behind him and saw a young girl standing up and speaking out. He glanced contemptuously and said
"I asked who dared to meddle in my business, but it turned out to be you, Isabella. This is a matter between me and this kid. You have no business to interfere, so don't meddle!"
With that said, Hui Ande turned his attention to William again and said:
"Boy, you have to know that my patience is limited. If you can't take out the silver coins, then you can't even think of leaving here today."
Hearing this, William wanted to tease Hui Ande, but he saw a frightened expression on William's face and said:
"Your Excellency Hui'ande, I went out hunting by myself today. I didn't bring that much money with me, so if you ask me to go home and get the money first, I'll give it to you immediately after I get the money."
Hearing what William said, Hui Ande curled his lips disdainfully and said:
"You think I'm stupid? If I really let you go home, you would have run away and there would be no trace of you."
With that said, Hui Ande looked William up and down again, and suddenly he saw something very interesting on William's waist. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com
