The news was naturally kept secret.

Duke Baptiste's expression was hurried, and he quickly and calmly summoned his members to discuss in a low voice.Jane Eyre and the Darcy brothers and sisters took the opportunity to want to leave, but were first rejected by Duke Baptiste, and then compromised in the eyes of Mr. Darcy.Jane Eyre didn't know what deal they had reached. In short, they followed Mr. Faulkner smoothly, and hurried from the dim interior passage of the theater to the back door of the theater.

Mr. Darcy let Jane Eyre and Georgiana walk in front of him, and Mr. Faulkner walked in the front with a candle.This path seems to be where Jane Eyre's curiosity lies, countless gears and hemp ropes are running, making mechanical clicking sounds.In the darkness, the candlelight in Mr. Faulkner's hand was flickering, and the shadows of several people were cast on the wall for a long time.Gradually, the singing on the stage gradually drifted in. Calista was singing a sad monologue. Her singing came from all directions and echoed in the narrow tunnel.

They continued to walk forward, and gradually the lever on the left hand side saw the light, the male protagonist's sad singing voice and the gorgeous female voice were intertwined, this is the back panel of the stage, Jane Eyre saw from the gap, Their steps moved closer and closer rhythmically, and then were violently torn apart.The sound of orchestral music and drums was deafening, and the wooden floors and walls of the hallway were hummed with shock.With the sudden end of a straight HighE tone, the audience warmly gave endless applause.

Mr. Faulkner quickened his pace, Jane Eyre and Georgiana trotted up, and the sound of hurried footsteps and heavy panting echoed in the aisle.After walking for a long time, the lights ahead became brighter and brighter.Here is a door, and a few candles are burning on the wall beside the door.Mr. Faulkner lowered the latch on the door. He poked his head out, looked left and right, and then turned back to motion for them to follow.

The heavy door was slowly opened, and several people crawled out one by one from the musty-smelling corridor.In front of him was the back door of the theater. Li Wen had already received the news and stopped the carriage here to wait.Jane Eyre turned her head and found that the passage door they passed was a huge statue of the Virgin Mary.Mr. Faulkner wiped his sweat and said goodbye in a hurry: "I will send you here, I wish you a safe journey!"

Jane Eyre thanked again and again, and Mr. Darcy took her to the car. She suddenly thought of Eugenie and Mr. Rochester, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Excuse me, do you know Miss Grandet? She was in the hall just now. ..."

"Here I am!" Eugenie's voice came from another painting, the portrait was slowly opened, and Eugenie and Mr. Rochester jumped out from the aisle following a girl in a tight tutu.

"I insist that the Duke send someone to meet them, Janet, hurry up and get in the carriage, our time is very urgent." Mr. Darcy simply explained, Jane Eyre nodded, lifted her wide skirt, and climbed into the carriage .As soon as he sat down, Li Wen drove the carriage.Eugenie did not go with them, and Jane Eyre turned her head anxiously. Mr. Darcy replied: "Mr. Rochester is capable of protecting her and Miss Warren. He has stayed in Paris for a long time, and he has his own way."

Jane Eyre sighed and nodded.

Li Wen's carriage was driving very fast, Jane Eyre and Georgiana were holding on to the handrail tightly.After bumping for a while, the horse neighed suddenly and stopped suddenly.Jane Eyre fell on Mr. Darcy's body and almost stared at her: "What's wrong?"

Li Wen knocked on the baffle of the back seat: "Mr. Darcy! It's the military police! The military police stopped us!"

Mr. Darcy's pupils shrank for a while, and he patted Jane Eyre's hand comfortingly, calmly took out a pistol//gun from his pocket, loaded it, and fixed it behind his back.He opened the door and stepped out. Just as Jane Eyre wanted to check the situation through the crack of the door, he closed the door smoothly.

Georgiana was terrified, and Jane Eyre hugged her vigorously and patted the back of her head comfortingly.There was a burst of chattering human voices and the sound of metal clashing outside, and Georgiana's tears flowed down uncontrollably, wetting the collar on Jane Eyre's chest.

Fortunately, the most feared fight did not happen.Mr. Darcy negotiated with the military police calmly. Jane Eyre could not hear their conversation clearly, but judging from their polite tone and even light-hearted jokes, it shouldn't be a big problem.After a while, the car door was opened, and Mr. Darcy said in a relaxed tone: "Look, there are my wife and sister in the car, and there are no rebels as you said." His gray-blue eyes and Jane Eyre met her, with a smile on her lips.

The next second, an officer in armor with a bayonet in his hand poked his head in and inspected the left and right.Most of his face was covered by the iron net, and Jane Eyre couldn't see his face clearly.His knife was scratched under the seat, and after checking that there was no one he was looking for, he inserted the knife back into the scabbard.

"Excuse me, ma'am and miss, I'm just on business."

With a smile on her face, Jane Eyre nodded at him: "Sir, I understand your work. It's just that we are not the person you are looking for."

"Obviously!" He withdrew his weapon and waved to his subordinates, "Mr. Darcy, please go ahead! But you must leave as soon as possible, this place will be unstable soon!" Mr. Darcy shouted He agreed with a smile, and after shaking hands with the officer very politely, he said goodbye loudly and got into the car.

The carriage soon began to move again.

Georgiana bit her lower lip, her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into her brother's arms.Jane Eyre breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall of the car. Mr. Darcy stretched out his hand and pulled her close to him.

"The incident happened suddenly, but Duke Baptiste had already sent someone to monitor the movement there, and his people controlled the situation. Maybe tonight can pass smoothly, but tomorrow it will be impossible to hide it at all."

"Are we leaving France?"

"Better so, my dear."

Georgiana raised her head: "Where is Adele? Will she go back with us too?"

"It's hard to say, Mr. Rochester may not be willing to leave Miss Grandet...and Miss Grandet will definitely not choose to leave France." Mr. Darcy replied.

Jane Eyre and him looked at each other, confirming that he had also seen Mr. Rochester's mind.Where they can't see, the two may have made new progress.Jane Eyre didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy at this time.Mr. Rochester finally met his "little Jane Eyre", but at this embarrassing time, she might not be willing to leave him to take risks, and his thoughts... are unknown.

When she first met Miss Grandet, when she tentatively asked about the thorny place, Jane Eyre had a bold guess.And her calmness, rationality and tolerance also made this guess gradually clear and certain.That was the figure she had idolized since childhood, and she knew her intimately.Although I don't know how she entered this body, I can roughly understand that it has something to do with me, and it must also have something to do with what happened to "Eugenie Grandet".

Everyone in the carriage fell into silence. The carriage ran past the path by the river, and the far side of the river was not as quiet as usual.Jane Eyre opened the car window and was shocked by the sight before her, speechless.

Behind the low residential buildings in the distance, a huge flame was burning crazily.Orange flames lit up half of the sky, billowing thick smoke straight into the sky.Even across the incomparably wide river, they could faintly hear the panicked screams and cries on the other side of the river.The entire East District was illuminated by the fire, and it was unobstructed on the river.The scene on the river bank is connected with the flowing water.Like hell.

On the bridge, the gendarmes wore armor and rode tall horses, and the fire sticks formed a long line, and the fire snakes rushed to the opposite bank continuously.

Georgiana stared blankly.She is just a lady from a country gentleman's family. Although she has received a good education and read a lot of books, she probably understands the rules of the world.But those were the words on the book after all, such a purgatory-like scene was nakedly displayed in front of her eyes, she was so stimulated by the cruelty and madness that she couldn't speak.

Jane Eyre couldn't bear to close the curtain.

The carriage turned another corner, and the heat was left behind.

Li Wen rushed back to his residence in less than half the usual time.Lilith heard the sound of the carriage and ran out strangely.Jane Eyre didn't have time to explain, so she told her to pack her luggage as soon as possible and prepare to go back.After receiving the news, Lilith and the butler's wife didn't have time to ask why. After seeing the serious and nervous expressions of the masters, they moved out of the big box anxiously and sped up.Jane Eyre ran back to the room quickly, and changed into a suit of light clothes.

She strode to the desk and opened the drawer.Inside was the first draft of her second book, which she had not had time to hand over to M. Baudouin.She didn't have the idea of ​​going back so soon, even if she was alone, she was willing to stay - after all, she probably knew the course of history.She was indeed rebellious, but the thoughts she expressed happened to be in line with citizens.Although it will be used as a weapon, she knows that the person who holds this weapon will eventually win.

But she is not alone now.

Mr. Darcy has a special status. Although he is not an aristocrat or a capitalist, his assets are equivalent to half of Derbyshire, and he holds a lot of votes. Although France is far away from Britain, the turmoil here is bound to Burning across Europe, Britain also faces challenges.

She didn't want to go through this muddy water.

Jane Eyre put the manuscript in a box, gave it to the housekeeper, and asked her to hand it over to Mr. Baudouin in a few days.For Mr. Baudouin, Jane Eyre's thoughts are also very complicated.Her book was "forced" to become their weapon, and she herself was "forced" to become their weapon, but it is not a lie that he accepted her work at the beginning and then vigorously promoted it.

She packed a few pieces of clothes by herself, and went downstairs with the suitcase.As soon as she arrived downstairs, she heard the knock on the door. Lilith stopped her tidying up and looked at Jane Eyre in horror.

The knock on the door rang again.

Mr. Darcy put on his long coat, opened the safety catch of the pistol//gun, and walked quickly to the window.He turned sideways, opened a corner of the curtain slightly, squinted and looked towards the door, Jane Eyre held her breath.

Then he gave a relaxed smile.

He made a gesture, and Lilith opened the door after receiving the order.

"Mr. Briggs!?" She froze.

The author has something to say: Full attendance will be completed in February!

I hope that today, four years later, I can write a work that I am satisfied with hahhhh
