Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

The man on the horse wore ornate mage robes.He lightly jumped off the horse, looked at the coat of arms of the Pope on the carriage, and said, "Is this the bishop? I am the teacher of the French crown prince, Gioni Pallas from Rome."

"Good morning, Mr. Gioni Pallas, how did you rest yesterday, are those lazy servants negligent?" Bishop of Avignon poked his head out of the car window.

"Your hospitality is meticulous, and may the Seven Saints bless you with health!" Gioni Pallas said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is about to leave for Tarascon, and I would like to bid farewell to you."

"Arrogant boy, if you want to thank you, why don't you come in person?" The bishop, who didn't like the French, snorted secretly.

After some politeness, the two parties will separate from each other.One enters the Pope's Palace, and the other advances towards the city gate.

The name was so long that Mr. Wang Taizi, who was once complained by Ma Youfu, rode back to the team and came to a pale and gloomy boy.

After experiencing the hot air balloon in Reims, Dauphin Louis returned to Dauphine.In the past half a year, he has grown a little, and his ability to cast spells has also improved, but his body is still thin, and he looks sick and can't live to be 20 years old.

No wonder Charles VII was worried, he had already started to look for other heirs in advance, and made arrangements for this.

"Teacher, did you find anything unusual?" Louis asked.

The Greek sneered and said, "There are other people in the carriage. Seeing how sneaky they are, they must be lawbreakers."

"It looks bright and majestic, but it's actually damp and dark. Which one of these people in the Holy See is not like this?" Louis curled his lips and said in a low voice, "We don't care about the activities of those priests. I want to ask, has the corpse been disposed of? "

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The corpse and the relics have all been destroyed by me with the acid ball." Gioni Pallas said.

Louis showed a reassuring smile, and then said disdainfully: "That whore Agnès also wants to recruit her cousin to the court and continue to seduce father, how can I allow it!"

At that time, when Louis lived alone in a small castle in the south, and could not feel his father's love a few times a year, Charles VII often had a good time with Agnès in the castle of Chinon, forgetting about his wife and daughter's political affairs. clean and dry.

He has an extreme dislike for the chief mistress of the royal family.Therefore, after inquiring information, knowing that Agnès sent a messenger to Provence and invited her cousin to work in the Louvre, she took advantage of the opportunity to go to Provence to intercept the messenger on the way, and then sent the messenger to the Menelles family. The invitation letter is destroyed.

This is why Antoinette waited for a long time without waiting for the invitation letter from the royal family.

Chapter 340 The Crown Prince Who Sends Assists

For the Chinese, the class of "servant" in the European aristocratic circle is often easily confused with "servant".

The native Ma Youfu before being pierced by the soul almost died because of this mistake after drifting to Europe.

At that time, he was invited to attend the noble banquet for the first time, and he was fascinated by all kinds of hot and unrestrained "foreign women" who were all dressed up.

However, growing up in a maritime merchant family, he still behaves properly. He doesn't want to act recklessly and offend powerful people.Therefore, Ma Youfu did not pretend to speak to those noble ladies, but chose a maid beside the Duchess of Mantua.

At that time, he didn't know much about the local culture, and he only inferred according to the common sense of Chinese people, the maid, isn't it the maid next to the lady, the kind who signed the contract of prostitution, and played casually.

As a result, after he managed to escape with his life from an assassination on the street, he found out that the maid he had engaged in was a countess!

With lingering fears in his heart, Ma Youfu was afraid that the earl with lush green grass on his head who could raise horses would not give up, and would continue to hunt him down, so he decided to flee Italy.I just received an invitation from King Charles VII of France, so I set off to go north.

Then, it is the story of being traversed by the modern soul.

Whether it is the servants of male nobles or the maids of female nobles, they are usually served by nobles with lower backgrounds. The relationship between the two parties can be teacher and student, elder and junior, boss and subordinate, or just friends, but Not master and slave.Its actual meaning is probably closer to the "female officer" in the Chinese context.

Therefore, it is not a simple matter for a young aristocratic woman to serve as a maid in the royal court, and it is necessary to go through a series of ceremonial procedures.

Although King II couldn't wait to announce the news that his daughter would soon climb the high branch of Valois after receiving Agnès' affirmative reply, Antoinette also had to receive a formal invitation letter with the seal of the French royal family. To leave for Paris.

And after Prince Louis intercepted and killed the messenger, not to mention completely messing up the incident, at least it greatly delayed the time for another "witch" to go to the Louvre.

"Your Highness, destroying that letter is only the first step. What are you going to do next?" Gioni Pallas asked.

The Greeks boasted that they had a hundred ways to prevent a mere knight's daughter from entering the royal court.However, as the crown prince's teacher, he still decided to let the students do it by themselves this time.

The future king of a country cannot always rely on himself to make suggestions.

Louis was clearly prepared, and immediately replied: "After arriving at Tarascon Castle, I will find King Jean II and give him some advice..."

The other party was also an aristocrat, and it was not appropriate to use simple and direct violence to solve the problem in a place where extravagance and flashiness prevailed in Provence, where various gatherings were held every now and then.

If the most beautiful maiden of Provence, or even the Menelles family, died suddenly one day, rumors would surely spread rapidly through the aristocratic social circle.At that time, Louis does not guarantee that he can stay out of it.

As a future strategist, the French monarch known as the "Spider King", although Louis is young, he already has an understanding of political stratagems, so naturally he will not do things that are very risky and may affect his reputation.

He said: "I will provide enough benefits to buy Jean II, so that he will voluntarily give up his plan to send his daughter to Paris. I am just a country manor owner, and the cost will not be too much. Whether it is money or title, I will not give up. You can give it to him."

"This is a wise choice." Gioni Pallas nodded and smiled.

The cavalry team of the Dauphin of France left Avignon in a mighty way, went down the Rhone River, and arrived in Tarascon at noon.

This noble guest was immediately warmly welcomed and took the main seat at the noon banquet.

"Uncle René, why is your complexion not so good? May the Seven Saints bless your health." Louis looked at René I with a tired face and sunken eye sockets, and said with concern.

"Recently, he often discusses with the Marquis of La Manche how to exterminate the undead at sea, which affects his rest." Isabel on the side explained.

After the quarrel last night, although the couple did not completely reconcile, they at least appeared to be as harmonious as ever on the surface.

René I nodded, and said with a guilty smile in his heart: "Yes, there are always various troubles in Provence recently."

The reason why he was tired was because he had indulged too much on Endy last night, and he didn't die until early morning, and his body was almost hollowed out.

However, although the body was tired, René I was in a very happy mood.Last night's experience made him realize for the first time that boys can also be so beautiful and cute... The soft and light body, the timid panting sound, and the fragrance emanating from the body are all so intoxicating.

What the ancient Greek sages said is true, women are just reproductive tools, only men can have sincere love!

When René I was thinking about how to continue his private meeting with Endy in the future, Louis asked again: "Uncle, why didn't you see the Marquis of La Manche? This year I only met him once in Reims before the start of the Paris campaign. I have long been looking forward to meeting this hero who has brought countless victories and glory to France."

After the Battle of Chalon, Louis had a "carry-on grandfather" in his body.Under its teachings, the crown prince has matured a lot. Although he still regards Ma Youfu as his rival in love, at least he will no longer be like a wayward child who will go against Ma Youfu regardless of everything. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and then puts on a disguise for himself.

The person he most wanted to see was, of course, the saintly sister who was like the sun, illuminating his gloomy life back then.

"The Marquis of La Manche, Mr. Donatello of the Court of Purification, and Lady Duris, the three of them went to the southeast in the morning. The castle of the undead brought by the confluence of the celestial and spheres is haunting the sea, and we need to find its trace , there is no good way for the time being, only to use a dragnet search. So they are going to Marseilles to contact the Maritime Guild and organize a fleet." René I explained.

Seeing Louis showing a regretful expression, Isabelle said in relief: "Don't worry, little Louis, tonight is Marguerite's official birthday banquet, or the championship award ceremony of the Knight Tournament. The Marquis of La Manche will definitely come back. I also want to Dame Duris will compete once, and I hope to have this opportunity."

It is rare for Isabel to meet a female warrior whose strength is comparable to her own, and the soul of the knight who fell asleep due to family ties has also begun to wake up.

Hope rekindled in Louis' heart.

At the banquet, he also specially summoned the Menelles family.

Although Antoinette's face was a bit haggard, it still did not damage her beauty, but instead added a bit of pitiful temperament, which made Louis nod secretly.

If he hadn't only had the holy lady in his heart, he couldn't help being tempted.

"Little servant! Don't be distracted by beauty, focus on your goal!"

A cold and old voice sounded in his mind, which shocked Louis and brought him back to his senses.

But Antoinette's parents didn't impress him much.A cunning, cowardly, shrewd, greedy, and vulgar low-level noble couple.

The only thing that surprised him was that Jean II had good luck in the past two days. Not only did he join the Crescent Knights, he was also promoted to Baron.

"It seems that the cost of buying will increase, but for the peace of the palace and the happiness of my mother, I must not let Antoinette go to Paris!" Louis became more determined.

Now that Agnes is pregnant, she hasn't spent the night with Charles VII for a long time.The Fawang, who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, does not have much appetite for other farm dishes, and this time is in a window period.But if Antoinette arrives in Paris, with her beauty, she can definitely fill Agnès' vacancy very quickly.

When the time comes, the two sisters join hands, and the royal court may never have peace.

Even if Agnès gave birth to a boy, Louis felt that his position as crown prince would be challenged to a certain extent.Louis also heard about the arrangements made by Charles VII.Although he didn't believe that an illegitimate child had the right to shake his position, it was always good to be careful.

He wants to kill any threat at the source.

After the luncheon, Louis invited King Jean II to have a drink at his residence. The reason he gave was that he wanted to know more details about the battle between Mayouf's guards and the undead that night at Menelles Manor.

Let the second generation not doubt him, but also secretly proud of being able to enter the eyes of the future French king.

As a result, when they arrived at Louis' guest room, the first question he asked was: "Baron of Arles, your daughter's beauty is comparable to that of Venus, so there must be many suitors."

The Second King was startled, and immediately began to be complacent, secretly saying: "As expected of my daughter, even the Crown Prince of France is tempted."

Of course, he also knows that he can't sell one woman to three, no one will be offended, and the highest bidder will win, which is the best solution.

So let the second honestly say: "There are some suitors, but after knowing that Antonia is going to serve as a maid in your father's court, they all quit decently."

"The Louvre is not a place where young girls can easily survive. Mademoiselle Menelles' beauty is both a weapon and an Achilles' heel."

"His Royal Highness, you can rest assured that with the help of the Marquis of Lamanche, Antonia will be able to live well." Jean II said in a showy tone.

"Oh, the Menelles family has a good relationship with the Marquis of La Manche?"

"Yes, I just recently helped the Marquis resettle a group of refugees. And in the future, he plans to build a new port at the mouth of the Rhone River, which is next to my fief..."

"In that case, why didn't you send your daughter to the Marquis? I think, with the charm of Miss Meneles, she will definitely be loved by the Marquis. He is also a man."

? ?

It made II almost doubt his ears.

Not only him, if Ma Youfu was present at this time, I am afraid that he would be very puzzled.

Why does this kid always give him assists?Not only did she sacrifice her own mother, but why did she even go all out to send her off to her own bed?

Chapter 340 Where is Yofu Ma?

After being surprised, the Second King thought for a while, and then thought of the crown prince's motive: he didn't want his daughter to threaten the queen's position.

Let the second world be in a dilemma.

Out of the consideration of maximizing interests, he certainly hopes to find a horse by riding a donkey, so that his daughter can maintain a good relationship with the Marquis of La Manche and Charles VII.It would be great if the two big men had a quarrel over Antonia's jealousy.At that time, her daughter will become the most famous woman in Europe, and as a father, he will be able to benefit from both ways.

It's just that, now facing the request of the French crown prince, does the second have the courage to refuse?

Louis did not force Jean II, but offered a generous condition: "Mr. Baron, if your daughter becomes Ma Youfu's lover, I can give you a total reward of [-] livres. Cash, land, Horses, jewelry, antiques...the choice is yours."

After being sent by Charles VII to manage the Dauphiné region, the crown prince suddenly became rich, spending tens of thousands without blinking an eye.And this amount of money is astronomical for Jean II, who has just become a baron.

"Ten thousand livres... enough for me to build four large villas in the Manor Menelles..."

The second king was so excited that he said, "Your Highness, of course I am willing to make friends with the Marquis, but he doesn't seem to be very interested in Antonia..."

"How is it possible? Any man would fall in love with Miss Menelles' beauty. The Marquis just has other things to do now, so he restrained his desire."

Louis chuckled, and put a glass bottle containing pink potion on the table: "After the banquet tonight, I will invite the Marquis of Lamanche and your daughter here. At that time, let your daughter take this Add the potion to the drink, and it will be done."

"This..." made II hesitate.

But when he saw Louis whose complexion suddenly became gloomy and majestic, his heart trembled, and he nodded involuntarily and said, "Okay, Your Highness, I will do as you say."

Louis smiled slightly: "Very good."

Threats and temptations finally made the Baron of Arles submit.When Antoinette really got into Mayouf's bed, the Menelles family would have no chance to regret it, and completely cut off the possibility of entering the royal court.

It only cost a little money to eliminate the potential threat to his crown prince and his mother, and Louis was very satisfied with his operation.

At six o'clock in the evening, the three of Ma Youfu returned to Tarascon Castle to attend the banquet.

Margaret de Anjou, the eldest of the three children of the Duke and Duchess of Anjou, will be ten years old today.After her birthday, the little girl will return to her hometown in Anjou with her grandmother Yolande from Provence, and begin to learn various knowledge and skills that noble women should master.

According to rumors, Charles VII intends to marry this little niece to Charles VI.Now that the political situation in England is chaotic, his plan is likely to interfere in the issue of Henry VI's successor in the future and interfere in England's internal affairs.Maybe in the future, there will be an opportunity for armed intervention in England.
