In the end, the "Sardinian officer" of Jiang Tian's party was led to an ancient and luxurious mansion in the city; the ceremonial officer whose face was covered with white powder could not hide the wrinkles, then slightly turned sideways and said: "Mr. , please wait here and enjoy it!"

As the gate carved into many water nymphs surrounds the legend of the beautiful boy, it quietly opened from the inside out; immediately revealing the depth of the courtyard covered by the light veil curtain inside.Under the large green shade, it is covered with gauze curtains and curtains of various colors.

And behind these gauze curtains and curtains, there are many graceful figures lying, sitting, standing, or leaning against each other.And after these gauze curtains and curtains were lifted slowly by the breeze, various furniture, furnishings and decorations in the oriental Arabian style were exposed.

And among these furniture, furnishings, and decorations, there are women wearing various exotic gauze and long skirts, but it seems that they are not wearing anything, so that the inner skin is faintly visible, full of charming and charming. Allure and the hormonal scent of blood rushing.

However, most of these women's eyes look blurred, out of focus, or simply sluggish and dull; like beautiful and seductive dolls; under the carefully decorated faces, they are full of decadence, despair, and even walking dead. lifeless.

Only when the outer door is opened and visitors come, will they look up like stagnant water.And some women stood up like conditioned reflexes, like packaged goods on the shelves, mechanically showing their graceful postures and postures.

It's just that there are scars and bruises on the skin that can't be covered by the veil; it shows that they are not willing to be a part of it.There is also no obvious wind and dust that has been greeted and sent away for a long time. Maybe they were just other people's wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters before.

In other words, this courtyard full of women is the only survivor in the city.On the inside, there are mosaics and embossed decorations, and in some other building rooms, there are even continuous movements of people Xuanyin during the day, obviously someone has been hanging around here for a long time.

At the moment when the gate slammed shut, Jiang Tian suddenly winked; the inheritance knights and guard company around him, and officers disguised as officers rushed into it.Short screams and women's exclamations sounded from time to time; the courtyard was cleared in a short time.

However, in the process of this raid and killing, there were not without unexpected surprises; for example, including the leaders of the two strongest armies among the royalist forces in the city; there were dozens of orthodox soldiers who stayed here for days The general was also dealt with by the way.

Then, Jiang Tian and his party, who were rearmed from head to toe, after ensuring that the main entrance was sealed; also jumped out of the wall one after another from the unnoticed rear of the courtyard.Go to the temporary royal court and the general headquarters of the orthodox army established by the puppet government of the country, and the commercial union where it is located.

That's right, the seat of the Puppet Protectorate Government is not the city hall in the traditional sense, but the commercial union in the city.On the one hand, this is because the predecessor of Montpellier in history was born between the Iberian Peninsula and the ancient Roman Empire, a commercial town on the only way to land.

Therefore, the commercial union is the largest building in the city.On the other hand, it was the remnants of the local liberals and Republicans who persisted in the city hall and cathedral in the inner city until the end; they were set on fire by the invincible and frenzied royalist army.

Although there was a slight deviation from the expected plan, the Marquis de Sade, who was a high-level pimp, had no plans to meet them immediately; instead, he was sent here to be entertained.But it did not prevent Jiang Tian, ​​who had already entered the city, from actively looking for fighters according to the situation.

After only half a sound, the king's flag with white irises fluttering and the golden horseshoe flag of the orthodox army, the main building of the commercial union, the huge dome known as the "Great Round Hall", appeared in front of Jiang Tian and his party; The trading floor has changed dramatically.

There were scarlet carpets stretching inwards on the stone stairs, vertical banners embroidered with family crests and coats of arms hanging on the outer wall; /Pennants and banners of knighthood; and armored soldiers standing with halberds.

There are also the heralds in rich gowns with embroidered ribbons and slender rapiers, and feather caps; there are attendants in button-down gowns, short crotch and stockings; standing in rows on the steps Or in the porch; it looks like something majestic and similar.

But this time Jiang Tian didn't intend to rush in; he just waited on the street for a while, and saw several warning fireworks rising from the direction of the city gate in the distance.This also means that the follow-up troops have arrived and completed the initial blockade, and the city gate no longer hides and starts to attack.

At the same time, in a closed hall filled with strong oriental fragrances and aphrodisiacs; the Chief Minister of the Southern Temporary Royal Court/Guardian Protectorate, Marquis de Sade, the ad hoc generalissimo; Several female bodies covered in scars climbed up.

As a playboy and pimp who was born in the Provence area, but is quite famous in the capital; he actually has no foundation and background in the royalist faction in the south; after fleeing to the south to escape disaster, he only has a title And a good skin.

But this does not prevent him from continuing to give full play to his strengths and advantages; as a friend of the royal family, he used tiger skin as a banner to re-establish his value and status in the southern royal party.Therefore, he was quickly elected as the leader of a small faction among the many royalist forces.

Then, by hooking up with many women with status, he influenced their fathers and brothers, even their husbands and lovers.The lower half of the body's own power contributed to the alliance of several royalist factions between the province of Herault and the province of Odd, and was also pushed to the top under the game of all parties.

After being pushed to this position, he can't help but breed more ambitions and ideas; he is also unwilling to be just a nominal leader, convener, and coordinator; he wants more rights that are well-deserved and matching strength; So, he also planned a series of conspiracies.

Let those local old-fashioned families and powerful nobles who want to hide behind the scenes to manipulate the situation have accidents or die one after another; Divide and incapacitate it.

Then, with money, fame, power, and even religious dispensations and exemptions; the old ministries and subordinates of these old families and powerful aristocrats were drawn out; Promise and draw cakes for them.

And the intervention and interference from the Sardinian Kingdom on the sea brought him a great turning point and assistance; he was able to give full play to the excellent eloquence (sweet talk) and mediation skills impregnated by the diplomat family; Admiral of Ding's army.

Not only did they ask for a large amount of supplies and weapons that were not expected, they even persuaded the other party to send a combat company of the Sardinian Navy to join the royalist party in the province and have been besieging the provincial capital of Mongolia for several months. Go to the battle of Pierre.

Then, he used the support and assistance of the Kingdom of Sardinia as an important bargaining chip to further suppress and exclude members of the armed groups and factions who did not obey him; Reopen a new situation.

Therefore, the capture of Montpellier, the final provincial capital, became the brightest moment in his life.For, with the prospect of a big victory over the great city, he finally killed the leader of the opposition who had been trying to challenge him, and suppressed his henchmen.

Then, through the establishment of the temporary royal court in the south and the banner of the orthodox army, officials were appointed to make wishes and soldiers were plundered; most of the soldiers were grateful and praised their names; / Grand Marshal, more and more well-deserved.

Although he does not have any ability to govern the country, nor does he have any experience in leading the army; but through the tactics and tactics he has experienced in the capital court, he is still able to win over and control with ease, and many people with corresponding talents and specialties work hard for him and drive .

Or from a certain point of view, their lonely, empty, depressed wives, daughters and sisters are the best potential eyeliners for the Marquis de Sade.Therefore, he did not hesitate to hold one after another feast, and used all kinds of extremely joyful means to further deepen their relationship with each other.

Therefore, in formal occasions during the day, they are the dignified ministers, officials, generals, and officers in the temporary royal court; at night, they are partners regardless of each other, who can exchange playmates and spouses, and find the end of happiness together Another close alliance...

However, ever since he escaped from the capital and met that lord again, the sense of disharmony and crisis that hadn't appeared for a long time made him wake up at the scene of the feast.He immediately rang the bell to call for his personal attendant; however, there was no response from the outside where there should be someone waiting.

He couldn't help moving his somewhat numb and sore body, and stepped over the entangled bodies to the secret door of the inner room.When he reappeared in a corner of the large courtyard wearing a robe; he also smelled the blood spreading in the air, as well as the scorching smell of fireworks floating in the distance.

The next moment, he saw with his own eyes the body of a heavily armed sentry falling from the gray tile roof of the towering marble main building.The other soldiers on duty outside the courtyard didn't even notice or discover anything; they didn't panic until he rushed in front of them.

"I order you to lay down all your responsibilities and escort me to the camp of the crusaders in the city at once;" Marquis Sade immediately ordered: "At the same time, sound the alarm, there are enemies invading the royal court, and order everyone to do whatever it takes. , capture or destroy it..."
