King's Landing in France

Chapter 303 Clever Balas
After An Ning came back from the National Salvation Committee, it happened that Christina had just attended a tea party.

She immediately came up to him and asked with concern, "What's the matter?"

"We were going to send people to arrest Barras, but before sending people, Robespierre wrote a message to tell Danton about it, but Danton came over aggressively and had a big fight with Robespierre. fight." An Ning told his wife what happened just now with a helpless face.

Christina opened her mouth: "How could it be like this? Did the things you did to prevent the two break up, but instead lead to the break between the two?"

"No, I forced my way in to smooth things over for the two of you, at least temporarily avoiding this situation." An Ning paused, remembering the family emblem, and asked Christina, "What do you think of the design of our family's coat of arms? How about being a knight attacking a windmill?"

Christina was even more shocked: "Don Quixote? Why? Why use Don Quixote as your coat of arms?"

An Ning: "Because I am attacking a huge enemy that only exists in my imagination."

While speaking, An Ning thought mockingly: Maybe he is not a time traveler at all, but just fantasized about a world that does not exist.

I don't know what "real history" is, everything is just an illusion, as long as I just blacken Tai Sui, I will become a pure person of this era.

It seems that I have this kind of thinking.

Christie looked at An Ning tenderly: "No matter what you are fighting with, I will be by your side."

An Ning hugged Christina silently.

For some reason, the melody of "The Lonely Brave" suddenly sounded in An Ning's mind at this moment.

Isn't he a lone brave man, fighting against a huge enemy that even his wife can't tell in an unknown place.

Thinking of this, An Ning tightened her arms.

Christina murmured because she couldn't breathe, "Andy, breathe..."

An Ning followed suit and kissed her, making her unable to breathe even more.

After a while, he let go of his fiancee and wiped his mouth lightly.

Christina panted heavily, complaining while panting: "The new corset I'm wearing today is very tight, I almost passed out when you hugged me just now!"

An Ning: "Who made your chest muscles so exaggerated. If you are like Napoleon's sister, you will definitely have no problem."

Paulina was trying to fix the cake when she sneezed so loudly that the cream on the top of the cake was blown away and sprayed Napoleon on the other side of the table.

Napoleon was startled: "I'll go! You're too bold to sneeze, you deserve to be my sister."

After the love talk, An Ning's mood improved a lot.

It seems that chewing on the fiancée more will help solve the internal friction.

Christina is still on the last topic: "But what are you going to fight against? As the national salvation hero of France, you use Don Quixote as the family emblem, which may cause all kinds of unnecessary conjectures. And it does not conform to the coat of arms. study."

An Ning: "That's all I said, forget about it. Did you go to the tea party?"

Christina shrugged: "Go. By the way, I heard an interesting news that Malmaison Castle canceled the scheduled salon and tea party today."

An Ning: "Oh?"

"And a lady sent a message today to invite Madame Beauharnay, but there was no reply."

An Ning frowned: "Josephine—I mean, Madame Beauharnay has already heard the news?"

Christina: "It doesn't seem like I just heard the news in the morning, because the gardener I arranged at Malmaison Castle didn't see her today, maybe she went out at night to find Paul Ballas."

An Ning: "There is a possibility."

At this time, An Ning had a little hope in his heart: Maybe Balas would misjudge the situation and make a profit, which would save a lot of trouble.

Josephine Beauharnet meets her lover Paul Barras.

Ballas looked at his old lover in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Then he immediately became alert: "Has something happened in Paris?"

Josephine: "Did you get the letter I sent you? I asked Charles to send it yesterday. He should be here today anyway."

Ballas frowned. Although most men in this era would not have any opinion on their lover and another woman, Paul Ballas belonged to the type who didn't like such things very much.

But he didn't think too much about it, but shook his head solemnly: "No, I didn't receive the letter, and I didn't see Lieutenant Charles."

Josephine: "It's bad, my premonition came true and was intercepted."

Ballas: "Maybe he opened the letter and saw what was inside, and then went to seek refuge with others."

"He won't, he must have been intercepted." Josephine didn't want to get entangled in this matter anymore, so she continued to advance the topic, "I wrote in my letter that Danton and Robespierre would inevitably split up in time, and Who do you think is most likely to intercept this letter, after writing about Frost's fiancée's botched snooping skills, and other inconsequences?"

Ballas said with a gloomy face: "That's too much. I have many enemies in Paris. It doesn't matter who intercepts, what matters is our reaction."

Josephine: "Yes, let's run now, I have relatives in Austria, and I went to Austria..."

"No!" Barras categorically refused, "Once I run away, I will never return to France unless Bourbon is restored. The important thing at this time is to find someone who can protect me."

Barras paced up and down, muttering, "To Frost? He's capable of bailing me out, sure, but he doesn't like politics, and unless I can prove I've got enough military talent, he's Won't protect me, never!"

Josephine suggested: "Why don't you give Danton a try? Danton should probably lend a helping hand! He's tired of endless killings, and has gradually become the leader of those in the parliament who advocate stopping the terror policy."

Barras shook his head: "Dandong is the most likely to protect me, but he is not strong enough, so he may not be able to protect me. No, no, it is very important to make a correct choice at this time. I need to find someone who is upright and will not Justice is for those shaken by emotions."

Josephine seemed to have guessed what Ballas was going to say next, and shook her head again and again: "No! You are crazy! That person sends fifty people to the guillotine every day!"

But Ballas said firmly: "Do you still have a copy of the letter? Or can you make a copy of the letter's content?
"I'm going to Robespierre, tell him the contents of the letter, and convince him that the letter is not that important! Only in this way can we avoid further deterioration of the matter!"
