The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

No abnormality occurred in the next three days. The circus performing in the town also left the town on the third day after Princess Louise Henriette went to go elsewhere. Baron Carl Gustav Wrangel was still a little worried. He sent a soldier to follow the circus. When the soldier returned, he reported that the circus had settled in another town and performed as before. , Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel really let go of his mind.

"Perhaps it is really too careful." The Baron thought.

A week passed quickly. On this day, Princess Louise Henriette, as always, offered to go outside and let the wind go.

In this regard, Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel agreed with a smile: "Of course, of course. Your Royal Highness, you are free here. In fact, you don’t need to be so polite. If you want to go out, please Just say it loosely."

For the baron's generous "limited freedom", Princess Louise Henriette gave a princess gift to express her gratitude.

Just as Princess Louise Henriette turned and left the baron's office, Baron Karl Gustave Wrangel suddenly stopped her.

"Your Royal Highness," Baron Karl Gustaf Wrangel called.

Princess Louise Henriette's body trembled undetectably. A cold sweat broke out on her back. At this time the princess was really worried, worried that Baron Carl Gustav Wrangel would suddenly make fun of her right to go out.

"Your Royal Highness," Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel called again. He smiled and walked behind Princess Louise Henriette: "It's just right, I don't have anything important to deal with today. Why don't I walk with you."

Princess Louise Henriette turned her head, and her expression was full of joy at this time, as if it were something she couldn't ask for.

"Of course it's fine, Lord Baron."

Therefore, the baron ordered Hosson to arrange the carriage and the accompanying guard of honor, and the group left Devinsk Castle mightily.

In the carriage, Princess Louise Henriette gently soothed Prince Frederick in her arms. She stretched out a hand with silk gloves and raised a curtain slightly. The princess wanted to see the scenery outside, but the Swedish heavy-armored pistol cavalry guarding on both sides had already blocked the carriage window tightly. Princess Louise Henriette could not see anything except the black horse under the knight's seat and his shiny knight armor.

Today I am following myself, in addition to Hosson’s team, there are also several Swedish heavy armored pistol knights under the command of Baron Karl Gustaf Wrangel.

"Under such tight protection, whether those people can still get me." Princess Louise Henriette couldn't help but worry a little.

What worries the princess even more is that Baron Carl Gustav Wrangel suddenly accompanied him this time. Was it a sudden accident or discovered some clue? If it is the latter, then the warriors who came to save themselves may have been exposed.

Princess Louise Henriette withdrew her hand. Although she was worried inside, the princess still had that quiet expression on her face, without showing any strange expression. She looked at the sleeping prince in the swaddling prince and smiled slightly, her whole body showing the brilliance of motherhood.

As the princess retracted his hand, Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel also slightly opened the window of the carriage, and he shouted to the heavy-armored pistol cavalry who blocked the window: "Slow down or go further."

The heavily armored pistol cavalry heard the baron's order and hurriedly slowed down the horse and dropped himself behind the carriage.

"Your Excellency, you are not like this, he is just doing his duty." Princess Louise Henriette cast her eyes on the baron's face and spoke for the cavalryman.

Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel said: "No, your Royal Highness. I am educating him. Of course he is not wrong in performing his duties, but if a soldier does not know what he says, he will only execute orders dogmatically. , Then soldiers can only be soldiers forever."

"Your Lord Baron really doesn't look like a German."

"I'm just not a stubborn German. Did the princess thought I was an old and stubborn."

When the baron said so, Princess Louise Henriette couldn't help but chuckle.

After another ten minutes or so, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down-the town arrived.

The carriage door was opened, and the baron jumped out of the carriage, he stood on the side of the carriage gracefully, and then gracefully extended a hand.

Princess Louise Henriette put a hand on the back of the baron's, and got out of the carriage.

Since today's town is not a market day, there are a lot fewer people than the previous week.

Princess Louise Henriette walked slowly, as she always did. She looked left and right, picking up a novel item from time to time and looking at it carefully.

The baron and Huo Song followed closely behind the princess. But in order not to let the princess feel restrained, the guards were all taken ten steps away by the baron.

Princess Louise Henriette put down a string of pearl necklaces in her hand. She turned her head and said to the Baron: "Your Excellency, if it were not for me to know that your country is engaged in a protracted war with Poland, Tsarist Russia, and Denmark, I really don’t I dare to believe that I am in a country at war."

Baron Carl Gustav Wrangel took this as a princess's praise to King Carl X for his ability to govern the country. He was happy to take this opportunity to turn the princess into a fan of King Karl X.

"Yes, our King Karl X is not only a military genius, but also an expert in governing the country. His wisdom is as many as the stars in the sky, and every idea can convince his subjects. And his Generosity is also world-famous. For example, your husband chooses the emperor's honor. In order for the friendship between the two to last forever, your majesty even gave him half of Poland."

As he said, the baron stretched out a finger to tease Prince Frederick's face: "Little prince, you will be the master of Prussia and Greater Poland and Lesser Poland in the future."

Unexpectedly, the teasing of Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel not only did not make the little prince happy, but made him cry.

The Baron was embarrassed for a while. Where the fingers that had touched the little prince's face were stiff, neither would it be retracted, nor would it not be retracted.

Princess Louise Henriette shook her son gently, coaxing the little prince back.

At this moment, a horse seller came over with a dozen horses.

Princess Louise Henriette hugged the little prince and hurriedly hid to the right side of the road, while Baron Karl Gustave Wrangel stood on the other side of the road.

The horse seller walked through the middle of the street. More than ten horses separated the princess from the baron.

Baron Karl Gustaf Wrangel looked through his horse to Princess Louise Henriette, who was standing opposite him. His sixth sense, which has been tempered through many battles, made him feel danger instinctively.

If at this time Princess Louise Henriette jumped on a horse...

Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel's hair was standing up, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Stop!" the baron roared.

Immediately afterwards, Baron Carl Gustav Wrangel propped one hand on the back of a brown horse. He jumped from the back of the horse like a hurdle and landed on Louise Henrière. In front of Princess Te.

Even though Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel is in his fifty-year-old, his skill is still vigorous.

The Swedish guards and heavy-armored pistols also surrounded the horse seller and his horse as if they were facing an enemy.

Princess Louise Henriette was standing there holding the prince, and she looked at the baron who fell in front of her with a mocking smile for the first time.

The baron could feel that the princess was mocking his hypocrisy and making fuss.

Baron Karl Gustaf Wrangel couldn't help but blush.

At this moment, the horse dealer begged for mercy from the people who surrounded him: "My army masters, I am a businessman who keeps himself safe!"

The voice was clear and sweet, just like a female voice.

No, the horse dealer is a woman.

When she raised her head, Huo Song recognized him as a woman.

"Baron, this guy is a woman." Huo Song exclaimed.

Baron Carl Gustav Wrangel was upset when he heard the words. He once again believed that his instincts did not lie to him-it is rare for a woman to sell horses, let alone being so young-she must be a spy.

Baron Carl Gustave Wrangel walked up to the woman. In order to save face in front of Princess Louise Henriette, the baron said to her with a vicious expression: "Say, who sent you? Coming!"

The woman looked at the baron’s face, and she said to the baron: "Your Excellency, I know you."

Huo Song, who was on the side, thought that the "female spy" was trying to get close to it and procrastinate for time, so he pushed her and threatened her to stop talking nonsense.

But the woman was unmoved. She stepped back, looked at Baron Karl Gustaf Wrangel, and gave a salute to the Swedish army.

"Your Excellency," she said, "you forgot. My name is Christine. I used to work in the court army of King Carl X. I prepared all the wine for your Majesty's banquet."

Hearing what the woman said, Baron Karl Gustaf Wrangel thought for a while, but he couldn't remember that there was a quartermaster named Christine in the court of King Karl X.

Seeing that the baron still didn't believe in herself, the woman claiming to be Christine took out another badge in her pocket.

Huo Song grabbed the badge from Christine's hand. He took a closer look, and it was indeed the badge worn by the quartermaster who served in the Swedish army.

"Baron, there is nothing wrong." Huo Song confirmed.

"Is it another Oolong?" Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel became a little unconfident. He thought about it and seized another "hole" in it.

Since this Christine claimed to be a quartermaster of the army, how could he become a horse dealer? It stands to reason that although the quartermaster's position is not high, there is a lot of oil and water, and most people would rather stay in this position without being promoted. This is the strange thing about the Baron.

To this question, Christine answered: "Dear Baron, I was originally sent by the great King Carl X to serve under the Grand Duke of Transylvania John II Lakoc. Grand Duke Kochi was out of luck. He was defeated by Marshal Lupaomatzki of Poland and reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire. As a last resort, I followed the remnants of the Grand Duke and fled to Transylvania. Unexpectedly, we were halfway there. It was again ambushed by Stefan Czarnetsky. The Grand Duke’s army had almost no resistance and was quickly defeated. 2000 carts full of loot were also lost. At that time I knew they were not good enough, so I secretly stole a group of military horses, and then took advantage of the night black wind to escape from their army. I pretended to be a horse dealer and hid all the way to Tibet, and then sold horses to earn a living without being entangled, and then returned to my motherland."

The baron knew the bad luck of Grand Duke Rakoke. He also knew that after that, the remnant of the Grand Duke was caught up again by Czarnetski. This time, the Grand Duke desperately begged for peace and paid up to 300,000 talers to the Polish army ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ But only three days later, the Tatars who fought for the Republic of Poland caught up with the over 10,000 unarmed Transylvanians who had been disarmed. They were all defeated and taken into slavery. Grand Duke Rakóchi was only spared.

The ruler of Transylvania vividly deduced what is meant by stealing chickens.

After listening to Christine's words, Princess Louise Henriette on the side couldn't help but laugh. Just now Baron Carl Gustav Wrangel said about how generous and righteous Carl X was to his allies, but he was immediately slapped in the face.

The baron knew what Princess Louise Henriette was laughing at. He waved his hand and motioned to Christine-the nasty guy who made him lose face feels away.

Huo Song and the Swedish guard gave way. But Christine came back without taking a few steps. She hesitated and walked to the baron's side, and whispered: "Respected Baron, I hope to continue to work for Your Majesty. I don't know if you can..."

Although Christine looks pretty, but because Christine stays with horses for a long time, he smells of horse dung. It was not obvious that she was far away just now, and now when she approached Baron Karl Gustav Wrangel, the baron did not stop using a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose. Because it is too smelly.

In the heart of the Baron, he also hated deserters like Christine. So the Baron waved his hand again and again, motioning to Huo Song and the others to pull Christine away.

The two Swedish guards hesitated to grab Christine's arm and wanted to pull her away.

Christine, who was being pulled away backwards, yelled unwillingly: "Baron, Baron, please be merciful. I am willing to give you all these horses. I beg you to give me another opportunity to serve His Majesty the King."
