King's Landing in France

"Do you...have friendship with the general?"

"A little bit, but..." Saint-Just didn't continue.

Josephine knew what was left unsaid: but I knew Robespierre very well.

Josephine seemed to ask casually: "Where is Mr. Robespierre? He should be the general's best friend, why didn't he come to the general's ball?"

Saint-Just: "Robespierre doesn't like this kind of occasion very much. He should still be at home revising tomorrow's proposal draft. Alright, let me invite you, Your Excellency the General!"

Chapter 290 The Archangel of Revolution

An Ning is also evaluating Josephine who came to touch her suddenly.

Napoleon: "The hostess of Malmaison Castle is as beautiful as the rumors say."

An Ning looked at Napoleon in surprise: "You don't want that lady or madam in Milan anymore?"

La Salle: "Andy, what you said is wrong, men should be merciful."

"That's right. When you arrived in a city in Italy, you went to find the widow. Massena told me that you ran out of the widow's house with your trousers up when Vuksevich attacked in the morning." An Ning didn't hesitate. Tucao Road.

Napoleon didn't miss this opportunity immediately, and began to taunt La Salle: "There is such a thing, what a faux pas, La Salle."

La Salle didn't care: "If you think that you can pay me back in this way, you are thinking too much. I am a hussar, and we hussars are shameless."

Murat coughed.

Napoleon: "Look, someone disagrees with your statement! Murat, come here and evaluate your predecessor's remarks!"

La Salle used to be the commander of the cavalry unit directly under the Anning Command, which is almost the same as Murat's current position, so there is a senior saying.

Murat came over anxiously: "Uh, I just had phlegm, not because I have any opinion on what Colonel Lasalle said."

Lasalle: "Mura, tell him, don't we hussars drink and eat meat everywhere we go, and then find women?"

Murat looked embarrassed: "Uh... this thing actually varies from person to person..."

"He doesn't agree with your statement!" Napoleon laughed, "so it's not the hussars who are shameless, but you."

Lasalle shrugged: "But I am the best among the hussars, and I am the representative of the hussars!"

Napoleon: "You can only speak for yourself!"

An Ning looked at the two PVPs under her command. Paulina suddenly came over, pulled his sleeve and asked, "Are they always like this?"

An Ning: "It's always like this, I'm used to it. Our headquarters has several daily routines. One is La Salle's bragging, and then Napoleon attacks him, and the other is Berthier's maid outfit."

Not far behind An Ning came Berthier's cough.

Paulina: "Well... I thought the headquarters of a general like you would be more... more..."

"A little more high-end? Nothing, my officers, my soldiers, and I are usually like old friends."

An Ning was notoriously unassuming, and when he walked in the team, junior soldiers would greet him or complain to him from time to time.

As long as it is not when everyone is shouting long live, An Ning and the soldiers are indeed like friends.

Paulina showed a longing expression: "Really? Great, I also want to serve in such a headquarters."

"You will have a chance. You should have two years left to study in Brienne, and another year to study at the Military Academy in Paris. After you come out, you can join the army and serve. I promise to transfer you to my headquarters. .”

After An Ning patted her chest, she realized that the words seemed to have another meaning. She hurriedly turned her head to look at Christina, but Christina had already gone to greet other people. She was the hostess of the ball and had many tasks.

After making sure that she hadn't misunderstood her fiancée, An Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she turned her head back, she saw Polina's shining eyes.

Paulina: "What's the battlefield like? I heard you drink on the battlefield and watch your troops crush the enemy!"

An Ning: "Uh, that's right. I think the appearance of the enemy being wiped out is the best appetizer."

In fact, An Ning got into this habit only half-heartedly, not because he really wanted to pretend.It's like liberating the Bastille. The real situation is that he was carried in by the crowd in the chaos. He himself just went to check in the famous historical scene as a history enthusiast that day.

However, things are already like this, so we can only make a fake show for real. It seems that when An Ning tells people about the Bastille, he will insist that he personally organized and directed the attack that day, and personally fired artillery to collapse the Bastille. the city gates, and was the first to enter the Bastille.

Anyway, the Bastille was demolished and turned into the Place de la Bastille, and it was really chaotic at the time, and no one could point out An Ning's mistake.

The version that An Ning said is similar to the version of the legend in Paris.

The only difference is that Anning's version does not have Voltaire.

People in Paris are now convinced that Mr. Voltaire is not actually dead. The one in the Pantheon is a fake. The evil King Louis XVI imprisoned Mr. Voltaire in the Bastille, and was rescued by the people who rushed into the Bastille Out.

The 99-year-old Mr. Voltaire is still living in seclusion somewhere, looking at the republic established under his ideological guidance with relief.

An Ning unconsciously witnessed the formation of an unofficial history.

Who would have thought that the source of this legend was that when mobilizing the masses, it was mentioned that Voltaire was also imprisoned in the Bastille, but some people did not understand what the past perfect tense is?

Paulina interrupted An Ning's thoughts: "You really like to be lost in thought, and you will wander away from time to time."

Napoleon: "People with active thinking are like this. They can't tell which switch has been triggered, and they will go out of their minds."

An Ning: "My thinking is more divergent. So what were you talking about?"

Paulina: "I'm asking about your life in Brienne."

An Ning: "You want to know this. In Brienne, your brother was discriminated against by the French nobles all day long, saying that he came from a poor village in Corsica. Then because I was a cobbler, they also looked down on me. So the two of us became a duo of brothers and sisters."

Napoleon laughed, "Yes, but that was a blessing in disguise for me."

"Well, where are those nobles who looked down on you before?"

An Ning and Napoleon looked at each other, and then laughed together.

Paulina looked puzzled: "What are you happy about?"

La Salle explained: "Little sister Paulina, what era is it now? Of course those nobles are on the guillotine. Some of them run fast and now go to foreign countries. But it doesn't matter, we will always catch them back !"

An Ning: "The nobles, one good thing is that they can run faster than anyone else."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Ning saw Saint-Just walking towards her from the group that Josephine Beauharney was in.

Because he was deeply impressed by the "Archangel of Revolution" in many French films, An Ning specifically took the opportunity to get to know this newly emerging orator in the Jacobin school.

Just like in the historical records, there is no doubt about Saint-Just's enthusiasm for the revolution. He hit it off with Robespierre, who was also dedicated to revolution, and is now Robespierre's most trusted person.

Seeing Robespierre's confidant coming towards her, An Ning must give face to her old friend, so she stopped chatting and waited for him to come.

Chapter 291 The dance begins

St. Just was a few steps away from An Ning, so he opened his arms directly: "Your Excellency General Frost, Maximilian asked me to apologize to you. He can't come to your ball today."

An Ning is speechless, my relationship with Robespierre is no closer than your kid, why pretend.So he sneered and said, "When he had dinner with me yesterday, he already told me that he would not come today."

Saint-Just was directly embarrassed.

Christina shook her head, probably speechless about An Ning's domineering president-style social interaction.

Paulina, on the other hand, watched the interaction between An Ning and Saint Just curiously, probably guessing the relationship between the two.

Saint Just quickly adjusted his expression, and said to An Ning: "So he said it, but out of etiquette, he still asked me to say sorry to you today."

An Ning: "I see. I hope you have a good time at the dance."

Saint-Just: "Of course, I will. By the way, Miss Beauharne over there asked me to invite you to her tea party. It will be tomorrow afternoon!"

An Ning pursed his lips, and he knew that Saint Just came here to make a request for Josephine.

Although just going to a tea party doesn't seem like a big deal, but in An Ning's current status, just going to a tea party is enough to have substantial benefits.

I went to the castle of Malmaison to attend the tea party by myself, and rumors would spread in Paris, saying that he had an affair with Madam Beauharnay, and a shrewd socialite like Josephine would immediately turn these rumors to his advantage thing.

An Ning didn't want to go.

Even if Saint-Just was Robespierre's confidant, he should go for Robespierre's sake, but An Ning still didn't want to go.

What's more, with An Ning's understanding of Robespierre, he doesn't care about such things at all.

So An Ning opened her mouth to refuse, but Christina snapped it up and said, "My fiancé doesn't like this kind of thing very much, can I do it for me?"

Saint-Just said with a smile: "Of course, yes, Your Excellency, General, will definitely be busy with military affairs. We still have a war with four countries to fight!"

At this time, the music started.

Christina: "It's time, we're going to lead the first dance, are you ready?"

An Ning: "I am always ready, the question is are you ready?"

Christina smiled: "Please be gentle when stepping on my feet."

"It's beyond my control." An Ning shrugged, then took the arm of his fiancée, and walked towards the dance floor openly.

Because the master was going to lead the dance, Saint-Just, who wanted to say something, had no choice but to shut up—you can't stop others from performing their master's duties, right?

After An Ning entered the dance floor, Napoleon asked La Salle, "Do you have a goal tonight?"

Lasalle smiled wickedly, then turned to Polina and said, "Dear Miss Bonaparte, may I have the honor to ask you to dance?"

Napoleon stepped forward to hold La Salle's hand: "I am very happy."

La Salle: ?

Napoleon: "My name is Bonaparte too."

"But you are not a miss."

"I can be!"

"Huh? Then I want to see it!"

Then the two of them screamed and went to the dance floor.

Paulina looked at the two blankly, and then met Saint-Just's eyes, so Saint-Just pushed forward: "Miss Bonaparte, may I have the honor to ask you to dance?"

Polina asked seriously: "I'm a girl, is that okay?"

St. Just was embarrassed: "What?"

Paulina: "Don't you want to find a man to dance with? Like my brother and La Salle. I thought you took me for a man, after all, I was wearing a military uniform and I had no breasts."

Saint-Just: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just want to dance with girls..."

Paulina: "But now the music has passed the prelude, the dance etiquette I learned, shouldn't I be able to enter the dance floor at this time?"

Saint-Just could only smile awkwardly: "Then I'll take my leave, I wish you a good time, miss."

Then Saint-Just turned and walked towards Josephine.

Josephine might be waiting for St. Just's result, so she actually rejected all the dancing invitations, and just waited for St. Just's return.

This is very rare. After all, Josephine is the queen of the ball, and she was absolutely indispensable on the dance floor in the past.

As soon as St. Just approached Josephine, she couldn't wait to ask, "Is it done?"

"Half done, Miss Tollestier agrees to attend your tea party."

Josephine bit her lip, watching Frost and Christina circling on the dance floor.At this time, Christina's expression was not very good, and Frost had stepped on her skirt more than once.

Josephine: "Forget it, I'll try to invite Napoleon Bonaparte, and that La Salle, he looks like a libertine who likes to play at balls."

Saint-Just: "Indeed, that La Salle looks like a standard hussar, and these people like that."

He paused, and continued to say to Josephine: "Also, I tried to invite Napoleon Bonaparte's sister to dance, but she refused in a wonderful way."

Josephine looked at St. Just in surprise: "Are there any women who refuse your dance invitation?"

After all, Saint-Just is the "Archangel of the Revolution". He is really handsome. Many aristocratic ladies can't walk when they see him, just like being stuck on the floor by 502.

St. Just stroked his hair, and said helplessly: "Maybe that Miss Bonaparte only has eyes for General Frost."

Josephine's teeth were gritted with hatred: "This Napoleon, it can't be seen that he is still a scheming guy, actually let his sister seduce Frost and stop the lover's position."

In this day and age, having a lover outside of marriage is not a big deal at all, and sometimes it is even made public. For example, Queen Mary of France has a Swedish count Felsen as her lover. Frequent meeting with Louis XVI.

I didn't see any reaction from Louis XVI. Of course, this may be because the locks are too fun.

So in Josephine's understanding, Napoleon introduced his sister to Frost in order to ask his sister to be Frost's lover and gain benefits for himself.

Josephine: "Maybe I have a lot to chat with this scheming Napoleon."

Then she muttered again: "But how am I going to make Napoleon dance with me?"

After all, women in this era cannot invite men to dance, they can only accept invitations.

Saint-Just looked at Josephine's thoughts, with a complicated expression on his face.
