I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Xu Siling wasted her energy on Philippa but got nothing in return.

He wanted to curse, but he wasn't particularly angry.

Women are like this, whether in modern times or in the Middle Ages.

He had just left the palace and went to the hotel to find Porter and others, asking them to get ready to set off to the Channel port to pick up people tomorrow, and then arranged for a few other people to find a place to stay outside of London.

When his executioner soldiers arrived in London, England in batches, they naturally could not live in the hotels in the city of London as they did now.

Not to mention that when there are too many people, they will be ostracized by many people.

More importantly, it would be better if the executioner soldiers' armor and other equipment were exposed less to the British.

They came to England with a very clear purpose, which was to kill Edward III's Pi Yanzi.

Of course, this metaphor is really a metaphor, not a physical one.

Yesterday, the couple of women were sent to Xu Siling as a gift.

Xu Siling knew that this was a gesture of goodwill from Edward III, and even if they did not enjoy it, they should accept it as a token of courtesy.

But he just refused.

People always say that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

But for Xu Siling, as long as you are strong enough, you are your eternal interest.

He didn't need to look at Edward III.

Edward III said that he looked down on Xu Siling, and his need for Xu Siling was only to win the public opinion war between Britain and France and to gain a foothold for his own claims in this war.

But facing the powerful Xu Siling, which king would not be willing to take her for himself?
Edward III may be a petty king, but if he cannot tolerate Xu Siling's arrogance, then there is really no need for the two of them to talk about anything else. He believes that Edward III will bow his head again.

In fact, Edward III did bow his head again.

But Xu Siling didn't know that Edward III was planning to send his wife to Xu Siling's arms.

If Xu Siling knew about this, she would probably think that her head was still in France and she was confused.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that people with status in the Middle Ages were moral.

This makes John even more special.

The news that Queen Philippa threw herself into Xu Siling's arms and cried soon reached the ears of Edward III.

Edward, who knew about this, snorted coldly.

"Bitch, you're playing hard to get. It's obvious that you have a crush on Knight Raya."

The minister standing by was unaware of the situation and frowned uncomfortably.

"Your Majesty, you should restrain Knight Raya and not let him act recklessly in the palace any longer."

"It's okay, let him make a fuss, he won't get into any trouble anyway."

"But he even dared to hug the queen."

"It won't cost you anything to hug her. And I heard that my daughter Isabella also has a crush on Knight Raya?"

“It’s true that there are rumors.”

"Try to see if Knight Raya likes my daughter."

"what?"

Edward III rolled his eyes and said, "He doesn't like the woman I gave him. I'll give him one he likes eventually!"

The minister really wanted to complain, why is it necessary to have a woman to win over someone?

But when I think about it, I feel there is nothing wrong with it.

In terms of status and position, Xu Siling is actually not much worse.

As for the title of nobility, in France, as long as he is willing to bow his head and stop being crazy and causing trouble, as the perfect knight of punishment of the Saint, what can he want?
Not to mention gold, silver and jewelry.

As for Xu Siling's seizure of Blanche in the French Palace, everyone knew that he was lustful and loved beautiful women.

If you want to win him over, you can only start with women.

Edward III stroked his chin and said to himself, "He has been in London for so long, and I have never seen him touch a woman. How can he hold back? Do you think he likes men?"

The minister felt a chill: "It shouldn't be"

"Too."

Far away in the town of Raya in France.

The public opinion storm is quite big.

The people of Raya are quite talkative about the manor.

But Fei'er didn't say anything, and didn't even have any control over the manor family, just letting them do what they wanted.

In the eyes of the people of Raya, Xu Siling, as a perfect knight, has committed treason, and his estate and soldiers should be controlled.

But Fei'er didn't do that, and as Fei'er's believers, everyone didn't dare to say anything.

Chris then helped build the manor castle without doing much else.

As her belly grew bigger and Charlie returned to Paris, Blanche had nothing to do every day.

He wrote a diary every day, recording his thoughts and waiting for Xu Siling to come back and share them with him.

Fei'er had less and less time to go to Tamuburg, Delamisburg and the other three places.

He spent more time in Raya Town, and seemed to be planning something secretly.

Most of the daytime time was spent on deploying troops, and he also summoned many nobles from the earldom to go to Raya Town to discuss preparations for the national war.

Ella packed up the prepared armor plates, weapons and equipment in batches, and signaled the executioner soldiers to go to the Calais Fortress in the northwestern France in batches according to the date of the planned message.

She rarely appeared in public.

It wasn't that she didn't want to hide.

But Farina has also been very busy recently.

The materials and supplies Xu Siling requested included not only weapons and armor, but also witches' potions.

From treating chronic diseases to various poisons.

Of course, what is needed more is the poison that could be applied to the crossbow arrows last time.

If an arrow scratches the wound and bleeds, it will cause local paralysis after a while, and if it is not treated for a long time, it will become ulcerated.

Xu Siling likes this medicine.

The poison does not necessarily have to be fatal. The best thing is to make the person half-dead or lose the ability to fight.

Most witches are middle-aged women, and their mobility is not as agile as that of their family members.

In order for the plan to be implemented normally, Farina had to return to Jocasta to help.

Speed ​​up the production of medicines.

Ella felt a little strange as she watched the number of people in the manor gradually decrease.

In the eyes of others, what Manor did was treason.

Xu Siling's soldiers were leaving France and preparing to go to England.

Many people reported to Fei'er, but they were all suppressed by Fei'er.

Many female members of the family wanted to leave Raya Town with their husbands or sons. They didn't mind betraying France. They wanted to live in England with the men in their family.

Many people cannot accept the fact that they have to be separated from the men in their families in two countries.

This is not the Crusades after all.

Ella calmed the women's minds.

To be honest, she also wanted to go to England. Even if something happened, she could die beside her husband. For a woman, this was also a sense of belonging. But Ella couldn't be selfish. Xu Siling gave everything at home to her. Only she knew the contents of the letter.

She had to hold on.

Ella's mood was conflicted. She now hoped that the war would start soon so that Xu Siling could come back after the war and the manor would no longer have to endure such rumors.

But if a war breaks out, no matter who goes to the battlefield, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Xu Siling is certainly strong, but being strong doesn’t mean there won’t be accidents on the battlefield.

Those who drown will always learn to swim.

But there is no turning back.

"I hope my husband is doing well in England."

Six days later.

The palace bathhouse.

Edward III and Xu Siling were taking a bath in a large bathhouse.

The two of them were in it and were honest with each other.

"It's so comfortable. Every time at this time, I can't help but praise Fier Raya. If it weren't for her, I really couldn't build such a big bathhouse, and taking a bath every day would be a luxury."

"The Saint did a lot of good things."

After Philippa threw herself into Xu Siling's arms.

Philippa never contacted Xu Siling again, as if she was trying to avoid suspicion.

But Edward III didn't care and sent women to Xu Siling one after another.

Until Xu Siling had no choice but to accept Isabella, the daughter of Edward III, as his wife.

Of course nothing happened between him and Isabella.

But he learned a lot from Chris, and used many of his methods on Isabella, trying to develop this woman who had no feminine morals.

Isabella was surprised and resisted at first, but then she lost herself in it. After settling in London, she came to the palace to look for Xu Siling almost every day and night.

Edward III was pleased to see this happen.

Afterwards, the two sides began to have some simple contact, and now they are even taking a bath together.

In the words of Edward III.

The two men were frank with each other. They had no armor or weapons on, and there were few outsiders in the bathhouse.

If Xu Siling wanted to, he could kill himself in the bathhouse.

But Xu Siling did not do so, which means that Xu Siling did have the idea of ​​becoming a vassal of England.

This undoubtedly increased Edward III's confidence in Xu Siling.

"Then the worst thing your saint did was to write a letter to denounce you and then stand on the side of the French royal family?"

"That was the Saint's choice, it has nothing to do with good or bad. Choosing France doesn't mean the Saint is bad, and even if she chooses you, it doesn't mean it will be good."

Xu Siling's tone was still arrogant and she did not take the French and English royal families seriously.

After Edward III accepted Xu Siling's personality, he did not get angry.

"I heard that your people are coming to England in batches."

"Of course, it's easier for me to do it."

"Your soldiers, I remember others called them wolf riders, and they have a pretty good record. But I'm curious."

"Cousin, please tell me."

"I saw them pulling in batches of goods. My soldiers said there were a lot of weapons and armor. Could you please bring a few sets for me to see?"

Xu Siling did not refuse immediately: "There is no rush. I have to wait until all my people are here. I will give you a full military parade and show you the demeanor of my soldiers!"

"Military review? Good idea." Edward III looked at the rising white mist and asked tentatively, "Xu, have you considered my proposal?"

"What are you talking about?" Xu Siling pretended to be confused.

"On behalf of England, help me identify your saint and deny her words. You know, the war between me and France will not be delayed for much longer. My people in Calais wrote to tell me that France's actions have been getting more and more intense recently, and they have been sending people to compress the Calais front. I can't delay this. I arranged for my son, the Black Prince, to go to several places in England to coordinate and gather troops."

"Black Prince, I heard that your son is very outstanding, cousin." Xu Siling laughed.

"Don't interrupt me. There's plenty of time for you to discuss things." Edward III narrowed his eyes. "I don't have much time for you to think about it. You can give me an answer. At least let me know what you think."

"What can I get?"

Edward III did not get angry but laughed instead. He was not afraid of Xu Siling negotiating conditions, but he was afraid that Xu Siling would not open his mouth.

"Whatever you want, you can get it in England. Status, position, women, gold, silver and jewelry, everything! Even if you see a woman you like on the street, you won't commit a crime if you strip her naked and sleep with her right there!"

Xu Siling was full of complaints. In the eyes of outsiders, how lustful must he be? He turned into a teddy bear when he saw a woman?

"I heard that there is only one duke in England now."

In England, unlike in France, the title of duke is only held by members of the royal family. Unlike in France, no one outside the royal family can be a duke.

There is only one Duke of England now, the Black Prince.

In 1337 he was created Duke of Cornwall.

Edward III raised his eyebrows, marveling at Xu Siling's greed, but he did not hesitate too much.

"No problem, when the war is over, I will give you the status of Duke!"

Is this not a typical verbal check?
The war was over. If he didn't know history, the war between Britain and France would have lasted for a hundred years, and he would have believed this nonsense.

Of course, now with the emergence of Xu Siling, it remains to be seen whether the Hundred Years' War between England and France can last for a hundred years.

"can."

"what else."

"I need autonomy for the entire territory. I want to be like my saint, without having to pay taxes."

Edward III's eyebrows trembled greatly.

Territorial autonomy is bullshit. You are a duke, so of course you are in charge of your territory.

But to be like Phil, without having to pay royal taxes, is a bit...
But remember, this is not the time to confirm a verbal check.

"That's fine, but the only territory that doesn't pay taxes is your direct jurisdiction, not the others. I still rely on these nobles for my livelihood."

"Cousin, you are so stingy. When we conquer France, the territory of France is so large, will you still worry about money?"

Edward III lectured him like an elder, "This is different. When you are a king, you have to consider a lot. After conquering France, you also have to consider development. It is impossible to have only income and no output. If I really conquer France, I will have to spend a lot of energy and money. Isn't it too early for us to talk about this? Hahahaha! It's you, after all. When I am with you, I can't help but think about the possibility of conquering France."

Seeing that Xu Siling didn't say anything else, Edward let go.

"Okay! As long as you're happy, I promise you, your territory won't have to pay any taxes!"

Anyway, the principality is very large, so we can negotiate when the time comes.

It’s called a duchy, but it would be fine if the territory was less.

Xu Siling smiled: "Actually, I don't have too many requests."

Edward breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Xu Siling asked for it again, he couldn't give it to her.

"It's been weird lately. I haven't seen the queen come to talk to me. What happened between my cousin and the queen?"

Do you really not know or do you pretend not to know?

Edward III was unsure, and he basically didn't care about Philippa. Even if Philippa really wanted to have a tryst with Xu Siling at night, he couldn't do anything about it.

But he thought of something and grinned.

"How about you take care of Philippa for me? You may not know that she and I are in a cold war and haven't spoken to each other for several days." (End of this chapter)
