Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 727 Action
Because there was still some time before it got dark, Liang En and the others decided to go around and collect some information, while waiting for the dark to pass the time.

However, considering that his Asian appearance is a bit eye-catching in this era, Liang En kept his hat down and walked behind without saying a word, while Joan was in charge of communicating with the people around him.

After walking around for a few minutes, they found themselves near a magnificent palace complex, but unlike ordinary palace complexes, the surroundings of this palace complex looked messy.

In front of a normal palace, there are often a large number of guards, all kinds of gorgeous decorations, exquisite carriages and gorgeously dressed nobles coming and going.

But there is nothing around this palace, everything that represents the nobility and the majesty of the so-called royal family does not exist. There are only groups of ordinary people walking around in simple clothes and holding various weapons.

This situation also brought a lot of convenience to Liang En and the others. It took only half an hour to blend in with a group of fellow villagers who came to Lorraine like Joan of Arc, and used the seven-euro bottle of low-grade brandy they carried with them. Everyone got familiar.

Because these militiamen did not have a unified command, and there were not even a few recognized leaders, so under the influence of alcohol, everyone quickly told all about the recent situation.

According to these people, the French King Louis 16 absconded from the palace yesterday, but luckily everyone intercepted the king in Valencia and brought his family back to Paris.

"It seems that the people or things we need to rescue next should be related to the Louis XVI family." Liang En said with a sigh, "The other party is currently guarded by the National Guard, but it is not easy for us to get close to the other party. difficulty."

The reason why he said it is not difficult is very simple, because the other party is currently being held in the Tuileries Palace, and such a palace is very difficult for non-professionals to fully defend.

So for Liang En and the others who possessed special powers, infiltrating into such a palace was not so difficult.

Because now the streets are full of national guards from all over the country, and they don't know each other very well.So Liang En and the others easily blended into the crowd and completed the investigation.

As they had guessed before, the guards were not well defended. Except for the entrance, there were only a few sporadic fixed sentries and patrols in the corridor guarding against the windows on the side of the main road.

Perhaps due to the lack of sufficient professional commanders, these patrol posts have many obvious dead ends. If you follow the outer wall, it is easy to climb up from the outside.

On the contrary, the ordinary members of the National Self-Defense Forces around are a little troublesome, because they move randomly in the surrounding streets, so the biggest danger when climbing the wall may come from them.

After all, everyone was very nervous at this time, so once I was discovered, I would probably be greeted by bullets, and Liang En felt that he could not guarantee the safety of Joan of Arc and himself in that situation.

"These National Self-Defense Forces are indeed very troublesome. After all, the randomness caused by non-professionals makes people have too much uncertainty when breaking through their defense line."

After turning around, the two of Liang En and the others got together and began to discuss the night's action plan. The biggest problem facing him now was the National Guard that almost crowded the surrounding streets.

On the one hand, purely from the mission point of view, alarming this group of people may end up being chased and killed by people all over Paris, which evolved into a situation similar to what Zhao Yun encountered in Changbanpo in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

You must know that from a realistic point of view, Zhao Yun's place in Changbanpo in the novel is a legend because it is almost impossible to be replicated. Liang En feels that even if he has extraordinary power, it is impossible to guarantee this.

On the other hand, from the perspective of Liang En and Joan of Arc, these National Self-Defense Forces are obviously more in line with the development of history, and at the same time they are in line with Liang En's three views, so even if this is just a fragment of history, they are not very willing to defend these national self-defense forces. The army is dead.

"I thought you would support the royal family." After hearing Joan's point of view, Liang En raised his eyebrows in surprise, "After all, you were loyal to the king back then."

"No, I was loyal to France back then. I was loyal to the king only because the king at that time was indeed the representative of France." Joan shook her head with a smile and said, "This Louis 16 can no longer represent France."

According to her, she will only stand on the side that represents France in this situation, and now the National Guard is obviously more representative of France than Louis 16,

"You're right, this group of people is really troublesome to deal with, but it's not without flaws." Joan of Arc pointed to the National Guard who were making noise on the street and sharing drinks and food at the same time. .

"This group of people is not an official army, so they still retain the habits of civilians in many cases. For example, I found that they would drink freely, and no one was in charge of guarding while eating."

"So I guess they shouldn't be staring at them like they are now at night, and they probably just spread out to find a place to sleep. At that time, our chance will come."

It has to be said that as a former Marshal of France, Joan of Arc has a very keen observation of the army. As the sky gradually dimmed, the number of people on the street gradually decreased.

These militiamen began to walk towards some food supply places, and some people began to get into the temporary tents on the side of the road to rest, all in all, they looked messy.

After 8 o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, and there was no one on the bustling streets during the day.Only a few people were left wandering the streets.

"You're right. The situation has indeed changed. We can act now." Liang En looked at the empty street and nodded, then he and Joan escaped from their previous hiding place and headed towards the Tuileries Palace The direction ran over.

The two are now wearing dark blue trench coats with hoods.The reason why black is not chosen is because pure black clothing has a clear silhouette in the night and is easier to be spotted.

Without attracting anyone's attention, they quickly crossed the streets around the palace, but they didn't go in the direction of the Tuileries, but in the direction of the Louvre further east.

As they had imagined before, this group of National Guards focused on the direction of the Tuileries where Louis 16's family was imprisoned, and the Louvre had only a small number of guards.

So they easily climbed up the outer wall of the outer podium of the Louvre, and then quickly bent and trot along the roof of the building toward the target location in the west.

Although the National Self-Defense Forces set up some sentries on the roof because of the background of the military commander, the uneven quality of the soldiers caused huge loopholes in the surveillance network at the commanding heights.

Liang En and the others easily crossed the most dangerous area with the help of the plants and decorations around the flower gallery connecting the Tuileries Palace and the Louvre, and then came to the blind spot of the guards of the Tuileries Palace.

"Okay, the first step has been successful, and now it's time for the second step." After arriving at the first rest point in the reservation, Liang En said in a low voice while taking out tools from the space. "The target is on the third floor, and the guards are at the door."
