Chapter 55
Zhu Yunqi's team is very professional, and quickly formulated a plan to drive away the wolves, take the opportunity to weaken the power of the princes, and complete the reduction of the vassal.However, the local situation is more complicated than they imagined.

Before the plan even started, the nobles reacted violently.The fourth uncle Philip directly rebelled and called.The Parisians have always disliked the king and did not want to resist at all. They immediately surrendered and the royal family fled to Orleans in the south in a hurry.

Zhu Yunqi and others were also in the city at the time, but his running skills have not been bad, and he already has enough experience.

Before, he found that the citizens seemed very dissatisfied with the king, and the city didn't seem safe, so he made preparations in advance.

When the turmoil broke out, Zhu Yunqi took out the priest's outfit he had prepared and dressed as a monk.At night, he set a fire, lit the dung piles on the street, and then resolutely took advantage of the chaos.The Burgundians scoured the city, but failed to catch him at last.

The princess was pregnant at this time and was resting in a manor outside the city. Zhu Yunwen came here to reunite with the princess and several cronies.At this time, the road to Orleans had been blocked by the Burgundian army. In a hurry, everyone could only see the needles, bypassing the patrols and rebels, and fled to the direction of Shinra.

In a pro-French village called Domremy, a group of people got help from the villagers and were able to hide for a while.The princess gave birth to a baby girl here, and Zhu Yunwen named her Zhu Youzhen.

A few months later, the front line gradually stabilized, and Zhu Yunqi prepared to go south to Orleans to join the wandering royal family.Qi Tai dissuaded him, thinking that if he took the initiative to look for him at this time, he would be used as a scapegoat by the royal family, and even end up as Chao Cuo.

Zhu Yunqi hesitated a little, the group discussed and decided to split up.Zhu Yunwen temporarily canonized Zhu Youzhen as the princess of Zhende, worshiped Qitai as the young master, and stayed to take care of the children; with Huang Zicheng as the envoy, holding a letter of amulet, he detoured to Shenluo and went to the capital to seek support; the princess went south with him.

Afterwards, Zhu Yunqi took the princess and borrowed a donkey cart from the villagers, and drove around Orleans.

Not long after arriving in Orleans, as expected by Qi Tai, Zhu Yunwen had a falling out with several major nobles of the royal family.The Duke of Orleans accused Zhu Yunqi of being the culprit and imprisoned him.

However, the Duke of Burgundy did not take Zhu Yunqi seriously at all, nor was he satisfied with the current results, and refused to make concessions to the royal family for Zhu Yunqi.Soon after, an assassin sent by the Burgundians assassinated the Duke of Orleans, causing chaos in the court.

Zhu Yunqi took the opportunity to persuade the jailers and promised them that after he turned himself over, everyone would have high-ranking officials.The jailers had never seen this kind of wooing before, and they were blown dizzy by him.Seeing that his superiors are not in charge now, the jailer secretly let him go.

As the father-in-law of the Duke of Orléans, the Count of Armagnac was elected to restore order.After busying around and appeasing everyone, he realized that Zhu Yunqi had run away at some point.

Counting the time, the count suspected that Zhu Yunqi was related to the assassination case and the series of chaos that followed, so he quickly sent people to search around.However, Zhu Yunwen had long since disappeared, and the pursuers even found the poem he left on the wall in a hotel in a small town outside the city, mocking the French aristocrats for their stupidity and arrogance, saying that he must call back and teach them a lesson.

The court nobles fell into a split, and some were so angry that they had to catch Zhu Yunqi.Others couldn't tell whether he was bragging or telling the truth, thinking that there were too many enemies now, and it was useless to hold him accountable, and that the fool in Orleans offended him purely to shirk responsibility.

Count Armagnac could only press the princess to ask her to announce that Zhu Yunqi was a false believer, let the church rule that the marriage was invalid, and tried to learn the whereabouts of the child from her.

The princess agreed to an end to the marriage, but always insisted that she herself did not know where the child was.Because Zhu Yunqi is a very vigilant person, and everyone has seen how well this person can run.He must have moved the child away long ago.

While they were hesitating, the princess secretly sent her trusted servants to Domremy Village, telling Qi Tai to take the child away quickly.In order to prevent him from disobeying his warning, he also asked the servant to bring the seal that Zhu Yunqi had forgotten when he fled in a hurry, and ordered him to move immediately after seeing it.

But the royal family and nobles are not stupid, her every move has long been monitored.This child also has the right to inherit, which will give other forces a reason to interfere. Therefore, the Earl of Armagnac and the queen have agreed to control it first in any case, so as to avoid further twists and turns.

The destination is on the border of Shenluo, and several Burgundy-controlled areas have to be passed through. It is impossible to send the royal army to capture them directly. Therefore, the earl sent a team of mercenaries, pretending to be bandits, to arrest people.

Of course, at this time, there is actually no difference between mercenaries and bandits, so as long as they don't wear the royal family flag, others can't tell the difference.The mercenaries followed the servant and found that he was indeed heading for that village, so they followed him all the way.

After following Domremy Village, the mercenaries believed that the target's situation was certain, and they were ready to take action.They spread out and marched along the road towards the village.

There was a small river next to the village. The mercenaries were going to cross the river here and enter the village to arrest people. They were very excited to think that they could take advantage of the situation to make an extra fortune.However, at the head of the small bridge on the river, a man in a cloak stood abruptly.

In this wilderness, in the middle of the night, if you think about it, you will know that there will be no ordinary people running here alone for no reason.The mercenary captain became vigilant and asked loudly who she was and what she was doing here.At the same time, he gestured to tell a few trusted veterans to look around to see if anyone was in ambush.

The man took off his hood, revealing short blond hair. It turned out to be a woman.She said that her name is Rangna, and she studied under the Ancient Tomb School of Egypt.On the way home from the south to visit relatives, I happened to pass by here.A Seris businessman from the "Jin Yiwei" firm told him that there are people here who want to plot against innocent children, so he asked her to be a hero and drive out these gangsters.

The mercenary captain asked everyone who had heard of this chamber of commerce, and everyone said they had no impression of it.The largest oriental firm in Marseille is "Yixiangrong" in the official background of the Purple Horde Khanate.They are in the currency exchange business, so most of the mercenaries know this one is not bad.

And several subordinates came back one after another, saying that they did not see anyone else.

The captain thought that this "Jin Yiwei" had never been seen before.Going to such an unfamiliar place and only hiring a woman, she must be a small fish with no common sense.When you encounter this kind of fat sheep, you will not eat it for nothing.It just so happened that the young woman looked pretty good, so she caught it together and shared it with the brothers.

The captain then shouted, let everyone work hard, Sir Alex was greatly rewarded, and then took the lead to rush up.

 I will still use this timed release function next time, otherwise I will not be able to post in time if there is something wrong.

  I am too unfamiliar with these functions of the platform...
