Chapter 22 The Temptation of Money
When the night was completely shrouded above the city of Saumur, and a small curved moon in the sky struggled to poke its head out from among the clouds, Yang Yi quietly opened the window of the room, and then jumped downstairs carefully.
The backyard of Grandet's house is a rather large one. There are not many flowers and plants in the yard, because Nanon has opened up a lot of ground for growing some vegetables that he usually eats.The yard is divided in two by a low archway in the middle, through the small gate there is a stone bench on the left, and beside it is a dilapidated stable, which belonged to the previous owner of the house, Grand. Mr. Tai used it to make a warehouse, some old but reluctant to throw away furniture items were placed in it, and the firewood for winter was also placed in it.
Yang Yi quietly walked to the warehouse, there was a small door over there, presumably it used to be used for horses to enter and exit, this door has been closed since Mr. Grandet bought the house, but the city of Saumur There were probably no thieves, so although the door was closed, it was only locked with an iron latch, and it was not closed with a lock or chain, so it was very convenient to go out.
The weather is good tonight. Yang Yi plans to go to the forest behind Anjou Castle to bask in the moonlight and absorb the magic power. If there is no fog and the temperature cools down in the second half of the night, he plans to stay there all night.He carefully opened the small door as quietly as possible, and then quickly rushed into the dark alley through the crack of the door. To be honest, these old houses in Saumer City always reminded him of the magic world. Diagon Alley, they are all the same old.
Duke Louis lay sideways on the bed and looked at the book in his hand. He couldn't sleep at such a quiet night, because once he closed his eyes, his soul would be bound by nightmares.When he was in Paris, he would always hang out at various banquets and salons at night, having fun until the early hours of the morning, and laying down on the bed after exhausting himself, so that he could sleep until dawn.On nights without any entertainment, he would find an interesting book to read all night like this, and he would not fall asleep until his eyes were so sore.
But Duke Louis was a little restless tonight. He remembered the conversation with Yang Yi when he walked in the afternoon. Undoubtedly, the prey that was good at escaping made him feel more interested, but Yang Yi's firm denial of his feelings still made him Displeased.Since he became the Duke of Anjou, no one has violated his will openly, even the king has to give him some courtesy.In such a quiet night, all emotions will be magnified several times, and the mild displeasure during the day becomes extremely irritating at this time, and this negative emotion keeps expanding, making Duke Louis Thinking of those many experiences related to darkness in the past.
The expression of Duke Louis gradually became ferocious. He bared his teeth and let out gasps in his throat, like an angry beast. His dark blue eyes seemed to turn bright red under the red light of the fireplace. It looked like a raging fire was burning in those pupils.His appearance was so terrifying, which showed how much hatred he harbored in his heart. He suddenly looked at the vanity mirror opposite the bed. He was startled by his own appearance in the mirror, but he saw himself His face in the mirror raised his eyebrows maliciously and smiled slyly.
Sometimes Duke Louis couldn't control his bloodthirsty emotions. He knew that he would take revenge one day for those who harmed his family.He will use all kinds of cruel punishments to impose on them, let them try the pain of his family members who died unjustly.Every time he thinks of that scene, he will quickly suppress himself, just like tonight.But even though he has calmed down his mind, his mind is already filled with the images of his loved ones who died in pain, as well as those bloody pictures. He has no sleepiness at all. Go or cover up these painful thoughts, or he'll have no peace tonight.
Thinking of this, Duke Louis stood up from the bed and quickly changed into a black hunting suit. He tied his long hair with a black ribbon, put on the boots most suitable for running, and fastened his sharp dagger on his waist. Then he took off the bow and arrow hanging on the wall and got out of the window, and jumped from the third floor to the ground by stepping on the decorative statues on the wall.His hunting dogs were scattered in the woods by him. He never fully trusted the vigilance of those well-trained servants. A person who approaches furtively.
In the forest at night, there are always some mysterious and ferocious animals hiding quietly in the dark. Once something invades their territory, these animals will attack unceremoniously.This is a time that is most suitable for hunting and least suitable for humans to come and go. Yang Yi wanders in it but does not feel the slightest fear. He has already applied medicine to make the smell disappear. He will not be in any danger from large animals eating.
Going forward in the dark forest where you can hardly see your fingers, actually Yang Yi feels more comfortable, because in this forest where he is alone at this moment, the darkness will cover up everything that people don't want to show in front of others during the day Yang Yi can show his fragility and sadness without any scruples.
Yang Yi kept walking like this until he entered the depths of the forest, he found a small piece of grass surrounded by tall old trees with flowers in full bloom, where the magic elements were very abundant, so he stopped He stepped down and sat cross-legged, starting tonight's meditation.
Duke Louis walked quietly through the trees. His harvest was good, and the backs of the two hounds following him were already full of prey.Smiling in satisfaction, he put away his bow, arrow and dagger, and planned to leave the forest. These prey were enough for him to eat wild game for several days.
At this time, a black hunting dog that had been exploring the way ahead ran back to Duke Louis. It was digging the land in one direction, which meant that it had found something that should not appear in the forest in that direction.Duke Louis licked his lips and ran to that place after the hound, perhaps he would not be idle tonight.
It is impossible for Yang Yi to fall into meditation completely in such a dangerous place, so he soon noticed the unusual sound of branches breaking, and opened his eyes vigilantly to observe around.
When the sound of the branch breaking became clearer, an arrow shot from right in front of Yang Yi, and he immediately turned his head to avoid it, only to find two big guys with green eyes flashing towards him from both sides, He rolled back hastily, drawing a pistol from his bracelet.As he had expected, there was a big one behind him as he rolled back, and he raised his pistol to aim and pull the trigger.
"Stop!"
There was a hasty cry, and the three big guys immediately fell to the ground obediently, which saved their lives. Yang Yi gasped and got up from the ground, pointing the gun in his hand at the place where the sound came from.
"Sidney, I didn't know you liked this forest so much that you would sleep in its arms at night." Duke Louis stood on the branch of a big tree and looked down at Yang Yi.
"Why are you here?" Yang Yi asked, why are there so many people in the forest at night.
"I should ask you, why did you appear in my forest on such a night?" Duke Louis asked with a smile, jumping down from the tree. "What kind of treasure is here that attracts you to enter here again and again, what kind of secret is here, this really makes me curious. Do you suggest telling me, Sidney?"
"If I told you that I just wanted to catch a red fox here and make a beautiful scarf for the winter, you probably wouldn't believe me." Anyway, he had already been caught, so Yang Yi simply played a rogue.
"No, dear, I think the fiery red fur of the red fox will definitely set off your beautiful face more perfectly." Duke Louis said, "Just right, I caught a beautiful red fox tonight, I miss you Will definitely like it."
A red fox as big as a little red lamb was thrown in front of Yang Yi. There was no scar on the fox's body, but there were only two bloody black holes where the eyes had been.Yang Yi glanced at Duke Louis, who was smiling very kindly and attentively, and just wanted to scold him as a pervert.
Charles is not a capable young man. He spent the first twenty years of his life in pleasure, so that his father's sudden death brought him more concern about how to be good for his future. Flustered instead of sad about his father's death, he even resented his father for owed so much debt.Charles knew very well that his uncle didn't like him, and judging by the appearance of Grandet's family, they didn't have any money to help him pay off his debts. He felt that his future was dark, and he really didn't look like the wilderness that went to India Where to join the army and fight for the future with life.
At this time, the letter from Adrian de Bourbon was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for him, so even if his relationship with Adrian de Bourbon was just a familiar face they met at several banquets He is also willing to believe him, in fact, it is better to say that he believes in his surname, De Bourbon. Although this surname has declined a lot now, it still plays an important role in the nobility.
The De Bourbon family established the Bourbon dynasty more than 300 years ago, and their side branch owners have always been named the Prince of Condé, and their title became the Duke of Bourbon more than 100 years ago, and this continued until the time of Napoleon I. Condé The last generation of the male family was executed. After that, the title of Kong Dai's heir became a marquis. The current marquis belongs to Louis Charles Orleans.
This Adrian de Bourbon, who wrote to Charles, is a collateral of the collateral line left by Prince Condé. His father was only a small viscount, so he has always thought that he can own the Bourbon. He is proud of his surname, and he has always been able to please the Marquis of Orleans, and Charles feels that he has a good chance of being enshrined as an earl in the future.
So the next morning when Nanon woke up, Charles dressed up and went out under Nanon's strange eyes. His destination was naturally the only hotel in Saumur.
The backyard of Grandet's house is a rather large one. There are not many flowers and plants in the yard, because Nanon has opened up a lot of ground for growing some vegetables that he usually eats.The yard is divided in two by a low archway in the middle, through the small gate there is a stone bench on the left, and beside it is a dilapidated stable, which belonged to the previous owner of the house, Grand.
