After Hughes confirmed the accuracy of the news, he began to think of a feasible method. Fortunately, James also wrote in his heart the secret code for the exchange of news between the Duke of York and the Duke of Norton, and added a token, otherwise he would not know what to do.

When he came outside the villa, the carriage was already blocking the road, so Hughes had no choice but to get out of the carriage and walk. It seems that many people are rushing towards Duke Norton today.Take out the invitation letter and hand it over to the guard at the door. After a rigorous inspection, the guard checked whether Hughes was carrying any dangerous items. After making sure that everything was fine, the guard let Hughes in, and he was the only one. People, and the servants who came with them are not allowed to go in. Hughes saw that the people who went in first left the servants outside, so he did as well.It seems that the current situation in London is really not good. Ordinarily, the Duke of Easton would never be able to do such a big thing, but judging by the current situation, there may be something hidden in it, and the searches in the past were not so big Strictly, even the invited guests have to be searched. This is not the practice in the past. It seems that he should be cautious.

After entering, the servant led Hughes to the party hall. Sure enough, Duke Norton was not just on vacation. How could he invite so many people on vacation? I just don’t know what the purpose is. Let’s see, my purpose is Find an opportunity to talk to Duke Norton, pass on the situation in Birmingham to him, and the task will be completed.

Holding a glass of red wine, Hughes walked around in a social manner. Duke Norton hadn't appeared yet, listening to the people around him chatting, but they were all smart people, and they just said some romantic things. Not at all, it seems that there is no useful news here, so we can only wait for Duke Norton to appear.Quiet wine tasting. Even though there were so many nobles at the scene, they were not familiar with them, and they were not of his class who could blend in. Be patient, Duke Norton finally appeared.

As soon as Duke Norton appeared, people stopped talking and saluted Duke Norton one after another.Duke Norton smiled calmly, showing no anxiety about his son's disappearance, he was really good at nourishing his energy.Duke Norton was surrounded by the crowd, and Hughes couldn't squeeze through. Even if he squeezed in, he couldn't tell the matter after asking the public.

When there were fewer people around Duke Norton, Hughes slowly walked over with the wine, thinking about the idea in his heart, he couldn't help crying and laughing, he must succeed this time.

Duke Norton was probably a little careless today, or something. Anyway, Hughes was not unhappy when he came to toast in front of him. After all, not everyone is qualified to come, but the others came in through relationships like Hughes Many people regretted seeing Hughes being able to get close to Duke Norton. Why didn't they take action? It's a good opportunity. Now they are all ready to make a move, but Hughes' next actions directly make them all want Hughes killed.Because Hughes didn't know what was going on, and accidentally spilled wine on Duke Norton's clothes. Let alone close contact now, the atmosphere around him suddenly froze, and there were other nobles looking at them naked. His contempt is like saying: Sure enough, he is an upstart, so he can't get on the stage.They really wanted to kill Hughes, and they were extremely aggrieved and angry.

After Hughes spilled the wine, even though it was his own plan, he still panicked. Fortunately, he didn't completely panic.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me." Before the others recovered, Hughes hurriedly apologized to Duke Norton, and kept wiping the place where he was splashed, because the place where the splash happened to be his sleeve, so Hughes took the opportunity to put the token of the Duke of York into the hands of Duke Norton. It was a little rabbit carved out of wood. The knife was a bit rough, but after the owner often played with it, the rough rabbit was already very smooth.When Hughes first got it, he didn't believe it was a token, but in fact he was.

Duke Norton froze for a moment when Hughes' wine spilled on him, and wanted to get angry, when would he encounter such a situation, besides, this vacation was also requested by the king, and he was still worried about his own son, He is just a son, still so outstanding, but now his whereabouts are unknown, because the group of guards failed to protect him.

Just about to scold, ask the servant to throw this idiot out, and find out who gave him the invitation letter, really can't handle it, but then something was stuffed into the palm of his hand, he lowered his head, his eyes fixed , staring at Hughes closely, as if to stare Hughes out of a hole.It was a long time to say this time, but it only happened in an instant. All the people present knew was that Duke Norton was sensible and generous, and he didn't care about it.

When everyone reacted, Duke Norton had already gone down to change clothes. As for the man who spilled the wine and was taken out by the servants, he should have been thrown out. The rest of the people were gloating, just worried that Duke Norton would I'm in a bad mood because of this episode.

"Tell me, how did you get this rabbit?" Duke Norton stared closely at Hughes, with deep expectation and tyranny in his eyes.Hopefully it's good news, otherwise he wouldn't mind destroying them all.

"Your Excellency, the Duke of York asked someone to bring it here." He also took out the letter written by the Duke of York and handed it to Duke Norton. It's on.

"This letter has to be soaked in ink to get the real letter, so please wait a moment, Lord Duke." After speaking, Hughes began to process the letter. Although Duke Norton was in a hurry, he could still wait for this moment. Kind of curious what Hughes said about ink, but now is not the time to ask that.

Hughes quickly finished the letter and handed it to Duke Norton. After reading the letter, the Duke said to Hughes: "Tell me what you know."

Then Hughes told everything he knew about the Duke of York and Birmingham, including the appearance of a traitor among the Duke of York's cronies.

Listening to Hughes' narration, Duke Norton's face kept changing, and it was best to relax.After receiving the news that the Duke of York was fine, Duke Norton's attitude towards Hughes was much better. He asked Hughes to stay here temporarily and talk about it later.

"You should stay here now, and I will ask someone to arrange it." Duke Norton said with a gentle expression.

"Okay, my lord duke, please trouble my lord duke." Hughes knew that this was inevitable, and didn't feel any humiliation, so he followed the servant down, and his task was considered completed.

The remaining Duke Norton couldn't hold back his anger any longer at this moment. With a big wave of his hand, he swept everything on the table to the ground. After taking a few breaths, he called people in. After being rescued safely, he slowly returned with revenge.He stared fiercely ahead, as if the enemy was right in front of him.

Not to mention what the Duke of Norton did, but Hughes lived in the Heights. The matter in London was not dealt with by Hughes, and it became more and more serious, but Hughes couldn't help it. Compared with the Duke, his little property is a godsend. ?

James went back to that country again, and this time, messages about James wanting to stay and settle there were flying all over the sky, and of course it was only limited to the countryside.As for the news about the Duke of York in Birmingham, even this rural place knows about it. One can imagine how busy the rumors are, and how busy those forces who want to find the Duke of York will be.

James snickered in his heart, get busy, get busy, he won’t have time to monitor him when he’s busy, and he’s still thinking about whether to release some false news to confuse them, but after thinking about it, he decided not to, so as not to cause extra complications and be investigated It won't be good when it arrives. Depending on the day, the letter should have been received in London. I don't know how long it will take for Hughes to see Duke Norton.

Bennett's house

Mrs. Bennet looked out of the window melancholy. This state has lasted for a month, because James has not written to her for a month. In Mrs. Nate's heart, either something happened to James, or he was hooked up by a bad woman outside.It is also to blame for James' good image all the time.

After getting rid of Jane who was a human body pillow, she breathed a sigh of relief. My mother's skills have improved again. I really can't stand it.
