"Where's Lydia? Where is she locked up?" Wu Zhao stepped into her Netherfield apartment, stretched out her hand to let Sarah untie the black cloak on her shoulders, and turned her head to ask Qingniang, "Don't be too Well, here's a nose-to-face thing."

Qing Niang pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, it's locked in the basement——I didn't know that Netherfield actually has a basement."

"I might as well meet Miss Bingley when I came here, she asked a few questions." Qing Niang took the cloak and hung it on the hanger, and said casually, "I said Peng Qi sprained her ankle, so she believed it."

"Don't worry about her. Caroline thinks she's smart, but she's actually not very careful. It's easy to fool." Wu Zhao sat down on the sofa, stretched her waist, and said leisurely, "It's over. I You can also rest for two days."

"I still have things to do!" Hearing this, Qing Niang handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I'm going to London in a few days, and I have to prepare everything for the dance. You still have to socialize and have a tea party." , are very annoying."

Wu Zhao frowned, "It's annoying enough, but unfortunately I can't hide this time."

Sara smiled and came up, "That's good too. You are always too lazy to meet people. Isn't it good to meet other little girls? I remember that there is still a little girl who is persistent and sends letters from London every month." ! That is to say, we came here this month, so I don’t know if the letter has arrived yet?”

"That's a fun kid." Wu Zhao listened, and also thought of the little girl Yasha that Georgiana met in the girls' school, and thought it was funny when she thought about her serious face writing to herself, " Is she the same age as me? Then I should be able to see her this year."

"Yes," Sara laughed, "I remember that Asha is the adopted daughter of a lord? Her adoptive parents are very kind old people with a gentle temper."

Wu Zhao nodded and said nothing.

Qingniang was about to come over to persuade Wu Zhao to go to bed early, but there was a hasty knock on the door, accompanied by the panting voice of the gatekeeper, "Miss, miss! Mr. Darcy, please hurry to the hall! I have something to say ! Both Mr. and Miss Bingley have passed."

Wu Zhao glanced at Qingniang and Sara in surprise, and saw that they both shook their heads. She knew it was an urgent matter, so she didn't wait any longer. She hadn't changed the clothes on her left and right, so she hurriedly grabbed a coat and opened it with her hand. door.

"What's going on? Please explain clearly." Wu Zhao asked as he hurried downstairs.

The maid also looked a little worried, but she really didn't know the truth, so she could only search for something, "Just say it's urgent, and let the people below pack their bags."

packing luggage?Wu Zhao frowned secretly, it seems that the matter is quite urgent?

"Brother, what's the matter?" Wu Zhao hurried down from the third floor, took a shortcut and turned into the lobby where Darcy was, and asked anxiously as soon as he entered the door, "Why did you pack your luggage?"

In the hall, Bingley and Caroline were looking sleepy, as if they had been woken up from the bed, and both of them were lying on the sofa with a blanket, rubbing their eyes.

Darcy sat alone in front of the fireplace, he looked up at Wu Zhao, and said in a deep voice, "The war has broken out."

"What? What!" Wu Zhao

Before she had time to speak, Caroline was terrified, and stood up in a panic, hugging the blanket, "War?"

Bentley was also taken aback, but at least he maintained his demeanor and asked, "Where is the war with?"

Caroline swallowed her saliva, and asked fearfully: "Is, is it the war in the Far East? That's still far away from us..."

While speaking, Wu Zhao had already walked to Darcy's side. After a little thought, she figured it out—the war in the Far East had already begun, and it didn't break out in the mainland. How could Darcy be so anxious?

If there really is a war...Wu Zhao squeezed his wrist thoughtfully, and asked tentatively, "A war with the First French Empire? Did Napoleon cross the sea?"

"Lang!" There was a crisp sound, and it turned out that Caroline accidentally broke the teacup on the table. At this time, she couldn't care about anything else, looked at Darcy earnestly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Oh, no Yes, isn't it, dear Darcy, tell me it's not true!"

Darcy frowned and glanced at her, ignored Caroline, turned his head and said to Wu Zhao in a deep voice, "You guessed right—but now it's just a small-scale friction, not on the scale of a war."

"However, if Napoleon really started the war, it won't be far away on a large scale." Stuart's cold voice came from the stairs, "That is a lunatic with a relentless heart. The Anti-French Alliance has already lost five times, and we can't lose the sixth." time."

"I have to go back to London." Stuart came down slowly from the stairs, squatted in front of Wu Zhao, and looked into her eyes tenderly, "For safety's sake, come back with me? In London, I promise, Even if Napoleon's army comes in, you'll be the safest."

Wu Zhao looked at him quietly, and before he could reply, he heard Darcy cough heavily in dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "You don't need to protect me—it's more dangerous to get close to you! Don't Forget, you are the son of the Field Marshal!"

Darcy deliberately pointed out Stuart's identity, and emphasized: "If you really lose the battle and attack London once, can you still have a good time?"

"No." Stuart was not angry when he was disturbed, but smiled, "That's what I said, but in this battle, the loser may not necessarily be the alliance—France wages wars too frequently, soldiers, treasury The people, the people, do not have enough rest, and the defeat will happen sooner or later."

Darcy glared at him, but he couldn't say anything frustrating at this moment, so he had to bear it.

"Forget it, Gina, although I don't agree with letting Stuart protect you, it's a good choice to go to London." Darcy turned to look at Wu Zhao, and said seriously, "We don't have enough manpower here. With so many people, I really don’t feel relieved if anyone has any intentions of cheating—you’re going to prepare for the dance anyway, why don’t you go to London earlier?”

"Fitz is right." Stuart rarely echoed. "Although war broke out, at least there will be no large-scale friction in winter, which is not conducive to naval warfare. This year's dance will still be held."

Wu Zhao shrugged indifferently, and agreed, "It's just a vacation, I can do it—but let me tell Eliza?"

Not thinking about it, Darcy shook his head and said, "I can't make it in time, I'm going to set off tonight—I still want to check the routes of those ships—let Qing Niang or Sarah stay, and tell the Bennett family tomorrow. .”

He glanced at the basement suggestively, and said cryptically, "You can borrow something from the Bennett's house. Tell me about it tomorrow. I think Mrs. Bennett will be very happy."

Wu Zhao smiled and nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere among the three of them was quite relaxed, but it was not so good at Bingley. From the beginning, Caroline kept urging Bingley to go back to London, and even screamed, "In this country place, even Everyone is dead and no one will know! Today, today we are going back to London!"

Bingley glanced at Caroline in embarrassment, took a deep breath, and begged Darcy, "Fitz, can you take Caroline back? I'll leave tomorrow—I must say goodbye to Miss Bennett." ah!"

He scratched his hair in distress, and said in a muffled voice, "If I leave today and just send someone to deliver a letter to her, and I don't know when I will be back, there will definitely be rumors about Meryton in the future!"

"You also often remind me that I should think more about Jane and be considerate of her situation..."

Wu Zhao couldn't help but glanced at Bingley, and wondered to himself, why did Charles change so much?How did you know to say goodbye to Jane?Remember Jane's embarrassment?

It dawned on me when I heard the last sentence—it turned out to be Darcy's reminder.

However, it is not bad to be able to listen to persuasion and change.

Wu Zhao then smiled and said: "Yes, I promise for my brother, I will lend the horse to Caroline—tomorrow, tomorrow you and Qing Niang will go to Longborn in person and tell Jane and Eliza about the matter, I think She will understand you."

Caroline nodded again and again, walking with Wu Zhao meant that she could walk with Darcy, she couldn't wish for it!

——She hasn't given up on Darcy yet, and she doesn't know where the courage comes from.Darcy's apparent reluctance did not dampen Caroline's enthusiasm.

Bentley breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed gratefully to Wu Zhao, "You have helped me a lot!"

Wu Zhao smiled and waved his hands, "You're welcome, I'll just do it conveniently."

Looking at Elizabeth and Darcy's appearance, Wu Zhao knew that they were only a layer away from the window paper. Jane is Elizabeth's older sister, and helping her is equivalent to helping the Darcy family—the Bennett family has a bad reputation. Well, not good for yourself.

After discussing in the hall for less than half an hour, a servant came up to report that the carriage had been driven and the luggage had been packed.

Darcy immediately sent Wu Zhao to the carriage, but he and Stuart rode fast, fearing that there would be some delay.

Wu Zhao asked Sarah to accompany him to London first, but left Qingniang to handle the affairs here.

Oh, and I forgot about a girl, Peng Qi.The little girl discussed it for a long time after returning home, and a few days later came over to express her determination to Wu Zhao in a low voice, vowing to follow her for the rest of her life.

This time Wu Zhao simply took her with him.

It was the first time for Peng Qi to sit in such a luxurious carriage. Even though she was only leaning on the small cushion at the door, she seemed very satisfied. From time to time, she secretly looked at the decoration of the carriage.

The clear eyes were full of surprise.

"Little girl!" Wu Zhao threw a snack at her, smiled and motioned for her to catch it, and then asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful! It's beautiful!" Peng Qi hurriedly caught the piece of snack, held it carefully in her hands, and said embarrassedly, "I was dumbfounded. I've never seen it like this in a carriage. I've seen it before. There are at most two long wooden boards inside the carriage, or a few seats, how can there be so many decorations!"

Seeing Wu Zhao smiling, she became more courageous, her eyes full of longing and curiosity about the future, "Miss, we just passed by like this, will there be no place to live?"

Peng Qi became worried while talking, "It's broken, I went in such a hurry, I must have not prepared the house!"

Sarah couldn't help laughing, reached out and touched her head, and replied in a gentle voice: "Why? The Darcy family also has a mansion in London. Even if the master doesn't go there, it will be cleaned up. What's more, miss I planned to go to London after a few days, and it was already ready there."

Peng Qi'an calmed down, but she still couldn't help being curious, her eyes were slightly distracted, "Miss, what is London like? Is it more prosperous and grand than Meryton Town?"

Wu Zhao smiled slightly and said, "You will know tomorrow."
