The sun never sets rose

The bonfire lit up brightly, exuding a steady stream of heat in the cold early winter night. Jiang Xinyan and Mary sat by the fire with their hands tied behind their backs, listening to the crackling of the firewood, and smelling the smell of meat in their noses.

- Goo~

Awkward……

Looking at the few people sitting around another bonfire eating barbecue and drinking not far away, Jiang Xinyan desperately hoped that they would stutter, because she was going crazy from hunger.

Who else is more unlucky than her?You can get caught wherever you go.

"hungry?"

Mary's voice came from behind, it was very weak, no emotion could be heard.

"Uh-huh."

"Hey, you guys." She yelled at those people, they all turned their heads, and she said in her usual commanding tone: "Bring some food."

Not only the men, Jiang Xinyan was also stunned.

She didn't expect Mary to just...give orders?They are hostages now, shouldn't they be a little self-conscious.

Pretending not to understand French, she asked in a low voice, "What did you say to them?"

"Get something to eat."

"Oh…"

As soon as the words were finished, one of them with a beard came over with a big cake in his hand, squatted in front of them, broke it in half, and put it to his mouth.

Jiang Xinyan was stunned...

The flatbread should be made of flour, but it was a bit hard and cold. She was so hungry that she didn't care so much, and she ate it hungrily, but Mary didn't eat it. Instead, she continued to order him: "Take water."

Then the bearded man brought the kettle again.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Not hungry."

The bearded man stared at Jiang Xinyan's face thoughtfully, an imperceptible lewd|smile flashed in his eyes, and then turned to ask Mary, "Is she from England?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Such thin skin and tender flesh... Tsk tsk." The beard touched his chin, his eyes lingering on Jiang Xinyan. He felt that this woman's appearance was a bit exotic, but since she spoke English, she should be from England.

Mary suddenly became vigilant and glared at him: "What do you want to do? I warn you, it's best not to think of her."

"Oh? Who can make Her Majesty the Queen so nervous? You can't protect yourself, hahaha... I think this English woman has a good appearance, and she must have a good taste..."

On the surface, Jiang Xinyan pretended not to understand, but was terrified in his heart, staring at his beard stupidly, then at Mary, and whispered, "What are you talking about?"

No one paid attention to her, the bearded man turned around and yelled, waved, and the other four got up and walked over. He winked, and two of them pulled Jiang Xinyan up by the waist.

"Let go of me...! Help...! Mmm..." Her mouth was covered, and she could only whine from her throat. She was carried by two muscular men and thrown into the tent.

Mary was held down by the other two people and shouted sharply, "Don't you understand me? Or do you mean that you don't want Prince Condé to come out alive?"

Behind the light, the smile on the bearded face was ferocious and terrifying, like a gloomy ghost. He pinched Mary's chin and said viciously: "If there is something wrong with His Royal Highness, let alone you and this woman, the entire Valu The Wa royal family will be buried with them!"

The struggling shadow of Jiang Xinyan was cast on the wall of the tent, and there was a faint whimper of despair and helplessness, as well as the sound of fabric being torn. Mary took a deep breath and calmed down: "I assure you, Prince Kong Dai will be completely safe. I return to you sadly. This arrest is not to intensify the conflict between us, but to negotiate peace. His Majesty the King will issue an amnesty soon, allowing you Protestants to carry out free religious activities and give you the preferential treatment you deserve. "

The expression of the bearded man was a little subtle, as if he was considering the credibility. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when the movement in the tent suddenly stopped.

"what?"

The muscular man nodded cautiously.

"I'll go and have a look." The bearded Hu let go of Mary, got up and got into the tent.

Jiang Xinyan was lying in the tent like a dead dog, his mouth was stuffed with a torn skirt, his face was flushed red, his messy black hair was stuck to his face with tears and sweat, he was crying convulsively from fear, and his outer skirt was covered with tears. It was torn to pieces, leaving only the thin white petticoat and corset, barely covering the knees, revealing a pair of slender and smooth calves.

The bearded man opened the curtain and came in, glanced at the muscular man who was standing next to him with his bare upper body, and asked, "What's going on?"

"She... in her hand..."

The muscular man pointed at Jiang Xinyan. He had taken off his clothes and was about to have a good time, but he saw the ring.

Suspicious eyes swept over Jiang Xinyan's hand, and the bearded man squatted down and grabbed her wrist bone, and looked closer. On his index finger was a gold and copper ring engraved with a red dragon and lion pattern, which was the coat of arms of the English royal family.

"Queen Elizabeth?"

They looked at each other in dismay, and their expressions became dignified in unison.

The Huguenots, who believe in Protestantism, have been secretly funded by the King of England since the start of the civil war. Their leader, Prince Condé, also maintains close ties with England. Protestant forces for more support.

So this little girl belongs to the King of England?Protestant?Is that one of your own?

Awkward……

How could my own people mix with Mary, a Catholic.

"Are you a Protestant under the king's command?" He glanced at her suspiciously.

Jiang Xinyan was gasping for breath, and her confused mind suddenly woke up when she noticed their reaction. Suddenly, she nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Queen Elizabeth granted me this coat of arms, allowing me to thoroughly investigate the pro-French faction in the country. Party matters, but when I was on a mission more than a month ago, I was accidentally caught by Mary's people..."

The frequency of her heartbeat was rising, and she was crying to cover up her nervousness at the moment. In fact, she should have thought that Elizabeth could not have cultivated her own power in France. After all, this is an era full of spies and assassinations, and the situation is the same in all countries.

Looking at the reactions of these people, it is a bit like the relationship with the "Congregational Church" in Scottish affairs. She remembered that Elizabeth would officially and publicly intervene in the religious wars in France, but it was a pity that she didn't get any benefits. This is a later story .

The bearded eyes became more and more serious: "Oh? Why did she arrest you?"

"Because I found out the pro-French faction in England. They were ordered by the Duke of Guise to secretly massacre Protestants in the most cruel way."

"Who are they?" The bearded voice gritted his teeth.

Geese, it's Geese again...

"The Duke of Norfolk, and the ambassador to France, Slokmodo, account for about half of the Privy Council." Jiang Xinyan finally turned his eyes, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and looked straight into his eyes: "Before Christmas Mary's people are about to stage a coup in London, and if I don't return before then, His Majesty's life will be in danger."

Out of selfishness, she didn't tell about Olo's father, and occasionally made up nonsense so that she believed it. Faith can kill or save life here.

"Oh, she still wants to overthrow Elizabeth's rule?" The bearded man sneered, full of disdain for Mary. "There won't be any storms. She even needs to rely on other countries' troops to protect her own country."

The so-called Queen of Scots is just a mascot-like existence. She has no power, confidants or army in her own country. She relies entirely on her marriage with France to protect herself. Now because of the struggle between the Queen Mother of Medici and the Duke of Guise, this protection It's so fragile again.

"We have reached a consensus with the English government. As long as Elizabeth is willing to send troops to support His Royal Highness, we will offer Havre in exchange for Calais. Didn't she always want that piece of land?"

Jiang Xinyan was a little confused. She knew that Elizabeth really wanted to regain Calais. The two countries had fought for that piece of land many times, but they were about to intervene so soon...?

If it is true, then she must hurry back and warn Elizabeth not to intervene in the religious civil war in France...

"Wait, wait until we replace His Royal Highness, and then clean up the members of the Guise family." As he said, the bearded man took off his cloak and threw it on her, covering her neck to her ankles. "I offended you just now, sorry."

With lingering fear in her heart, she grabbed the cloak and put it on, enduring the strong man's body odor. The wide suede cloth wrapped her thin body, and she was able to breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.

"Can you take me back to England?"

"Of course, but after the business is settled." He was referring to the exchange of Mary for Prince Condé, the leader is the soul, more important than anything else.

Sometimes Jiang Xinyan admires the spirit of Europeans. For the sake of faith, dignity, and honor, it may be related to their chivalry tradition. European kings are not only good at literature and art, but also have high military value in war. It is normal to go to the battlefield in person.

Thinking of her Elizabeth again...

Although the bearded man generally believed Jiang Xinyan's words, he didn't completely let her go, but he didn't tie her up any more, and let her sleep in one of the tents. Mary was even more miserable, tied up under a tree, and by Two guards.

On the surface, he was looking at Mary, but in fact he was also paying close attention to Jiang Xinyan in the tent.

The night was thick, and after the bonfire was extinguished, a pile of unburned branches was left behind, and the surroundings fell into an eerie tranquility.Jiang Xinyan lay in the tent holding his breath to listen to the movement, got up quietly, parted the door curtain a little, and caught a glimpse of the two muscular men guarding Mary sitting by the tree trunk, snoring in their sleep.

Her eyes adapted to the darkness, her eyes fell on the dagger pinned to the side of the trousers of the muscular man, and she roughly judged the possibility of stealing it, her brain suddenly became excited, and she couldn't control the trembling of her body and hands...

Mao bent over and carefully moved to the side of the muscular man, held her breath and waited for a while, but there was no movement, she reached out to touch the hem of the man's pants, and pulled it out bit by bit.When her fingertips touched the cold and sharp metal edge, she couldn't help but tremble, and she put the blade across the man's neck, gesturing.

Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, almost jumping out of her throat. She was sweating profusely in the heat of winter, and she didn't know how to do it after making gestures for a long time.

Suddenly, the muscular man tilted his head, half-opened his eyes in a daze, and Jiang Xinyan was frightened, he raised his hand and stabbed down hard, only to hear a "poof", the sharp dagger sank into the flesh, and the man widened instantly Eyes, both hands tried to clasp her wrist, but she didn't cry out, and her body went limp after a while.

she killed...

This idea flashed in her mind, but her body did the opposite. She pulled out the dagger forcefully, a large amount of warm blood rushed all over her face like a fountain, and she stabbed twice as if to vent her anger. It's some kind of stimulation, getting more and more exciting.

The other muscular man didn't wake up. After Jiang Xinyan was sure that the one in his hand was dead, he rushed over without saying a word, one knife, two knife, three knife...

Mary was awakened by this slight movement, and only opened her eyes when she saw a bloody woman rushing towards her with a dagger, her instinctive reaction was to shout, Jiang Xinyan quickly covered her mouth, and lowered her voice: "It's me... Your Majesty...don't shout..."

"..."

After she calmed down and regained her senses, Mary saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, gasped heavily in shock, and nodded. "Are you okay? They..."

"Shh."

Jiang Xinyan motioned her to stop talking, cut the rope swiftly, and handed the dagger from another muscular man to Mary, pointing to the two tents: "There are three more, you can't go far if you don't kill them, listen to me , poke | the neck, use your breastfeeding strength, come."

When she was learning human anatomy, Olo told her the location of the carotid artery. If she cut it, blood would splatter two meters away and she would die within a few minutes.

I didn't expect to apply what I learned at this time...

Mary froze for a moment, looked at her in shock, but without much hesitation, carefully lifted her skirt and stood up. As soon as she got close to the tent, a head slowly emerged from the door curtain. It was a bearded beard who had been awakened. stupid…

However, before she could react, Jiang Xinyan rushed over like a mad dog, and the bloody dagger pierced the bearded neck quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and only heard a scream, which alarmed the two muscular men in the nearby tent .

"Mary, hurry up!"

"Oh... well..."

A muscular man had just climbed out of the tent, his neck felt cold, and then there was severe pain. Mary pulled out the dagger tremblingly, but was thrown to the ground by the other who climbed out, screaming uncontrollably.

"Ah...! Help..."

The dagger fell, and Mary was pressed to the ground and strangled her neck. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and her voice became hoarse intermittently.Jiang Xinyan strenuously kicked away the half-dead man who was still holding her beard, rushed behind the muscular man and stabbed him in the side of the neck with a knife, and pierced through...

"Run!"

Watching the muscular man fall stiffly, Jiang Xinyan didn't care to pull out the dagger, pulled up Mary who was lying on the ground panting, stumbled towards the horses tied to the tree trunk, casually untied the ropes of two of them, turned over and climbed go up.

"Can you tell the direction? Where are we going?"

Mary nodded and pulled the rein while coughing: "This is not far from the main road, follow me."

"it is good."
