I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

"This is impossible!"

Philippa immediately retorted: "Are you saying that the entire French nobility is acting to deceive us? This is unrealistic!"

"The French nobles did not lie to England. They really do hate me. They are not pretending. My relationship with the royal family is only known to me and a few people in the royal family."

Philippa still found it hard to imagine if what Xu Siling said was true.

That means Xu Siling and John colluded to deceive Fagui.

I couldn't think of any reason why Xu Siling and John did this.

Could it be that Xu Siling and John have been designing for England for the past six months?
All of this is just for England to see?

There aren’t so many schemes in reality, but there are a lot of coincidences.

"I know you can't figure it out, Philippa." Xu Siling spread her hands indifferently, "Because in everyone's eyes, it's a fact that I stole Philip VI's fiancée. That's John's father. How could I have such a good relationship with John?"

"Yes, I really can't figure it out."

"There is one thing you have to understand. My relationship with Philip VI, the former King of France, was indeed not good. Even worse, it was terrible. Even if he died, I would never forget him. But that doesn't mean that my relationship with his son is bad."

Philippa was stunned: "Like... us?"

"Your analogy is very good, Philippa, I like it very much." Xu Siling smiled, "My relationship with Edward has never been good. I killed his favorite minister. If I was not useful to him, he would not show an expression that he liked me very much. But no matter how bad my relationship with Edward is, will it affect my relationship with you, Philippa? Do you hate me because I am unwilling to be loyal to England?"

Philippa subconsciously said that she just hated Xu Siling.

But just as the words were about to come out of my stomach, I found that I couldn't say them at all.

Deep down, she never hated Xu Siling.

How can you say such insincere words?

"Your analogy is really good. As long as you can accept it, you will understand that my bad relationship with Philip VI does not affect my good relationship with John."

"The death of the former King of France."

"It was John and I who cooperated. He wanted to speak for me, but it was best for him not to speak at that time." Xu Siling spread her hands. "As for me and the Saint? Of course, we followed this plan to set a trap for the whole of England. And now I am here with my soldiers, all of whom are safe and sound in England, which proves that this trap has fallen on England!"

Philippa sat on the stone with her head bowed, holding the bowl in her hands, lost in thought.

He didn't expect that he had such a good impression of Knight Raya, but the other party was a guy who planned rebellion and framed England.

The emotions are extremely complicated.

"So why did you kidnap Queen Isabella?"

"Philippa, Isabella is Blanche's aunt. Because she wrote to me, I came all the way to rescue her and take her away. Isn't this a great story?"

Philippa was lost in thought.

Xu Siling immediately understood that Isabella had no idea about writing letters to Xu Siling to win her over.

Poor Queen of England.

Then Xu Siling told him everything about the letter Isabella wrote to him on behalf of her son Edward.

Philippa was shocked: "So, you are going to rebel with Queen Isabella?!"

"Of course, she has a very good status. Not only is she Blanche's aunt, but she is also one of the few people in the Capetian dynasty. Compared to you, she is a very useful woman."

Philippa held the bowl tightly and lowered her head. After a long silence, she finally asked.

"So Xu, what are you going to do to me? You told me all your secrets and plans."

"What can I do to you?" Xu Siling laughed again, "You are the Queen of England, what can I do to you? After I have told you this, I will have someone send you back to a safe place."

"You want to let me go? I know everything!"

"After the plan is implemented, there is no need to hide it. I even hope you can help me make it bigger so that the whole of England and France will know about it."

Philippa was not stupid and understood immediately.

As soon as Xu Siling rebelled in England he began looting.

The first thing to be affected was the morale of the English soldiers.

Because they once said that Xu Siling had committed treason and even rebelled against her own lord, the Saint, and rejected the Saint's identity.

Xu Siling's looting in England will dispel this unsubstantiated "rumor".

The morale of the French soldiers would also be boosted when they learned that Xu Siling did not rebel!

So Xu Siling was right. He wished someone would tell the whole world about his plans and affairs.

Xu Siling even knew that Pope Innocent VI of Avignon had openly rebelled and rejected Fei'er's identity.

To be honest, this made Xu Siling very annoyed.

With just a few words, the Pope directly rejected all the efforts and hard work he and Fei'er had put in over a long period of time.

He wished he could pick up the Sword of Dawn and chop off the Pope's head.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible now, this is not his plan.

"Philippa, I'll have someone take you away later."

Just as the two men stood up, soldiers came over in the distance, escorting a woman.

Upon closer inspection, isn’t she Queen Isabella?

There were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but her gaze was still sharp and determined, and her hair was full of silver strands.

She wore a white veil on her head and was dressed very simply and solemnly, without any fancy outfit.

But when she saw Philippa and Xu Siling standing together, her eyes suddenly became filled with anger!

"Philippa, you joined forces with the Knights of Raya to rebel against England, and you actually betrayed your husband!"

Philippa didn't react immediately.

Xu Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.

No wonder Isabella had such wild thoughts.

He and Philippa have always had a close relationship during this period of time. Now Philippa suddenly appears in this place and stands next to Xu Siling very naturally. How can Isabella not think too much?

"I have not betrayed England, nor have I betrayed Edward."

"You still want to quibble? You are such an immoral woman!"

Xu Siling couldn't help but interrupt: "That's not right, Queen Isabella. Not to mention Edward's promiscuous nature, even you have had a lover, although you had to have a lover because of other factors. But I think that anyone can blame Philippa, but you and Edward, you shouldn't say this."

Philippa's heart suddenly warmed up. It was the first time she felt someone stood up for her.

"Knight Raya, what on earth do you want to do now? I tell you, Edward and the English soldiers are gaining the upper hand in French territory! It's only a matter of time before France loses. Do you want to be a dishonest person?!"

"Really? This is different from the news I got. The Black Prince did break through the southern part of France like no one was around, but this is the plan of John and I. We only need a few soldiers to hold him back, and our focus is on Calais. Look, the Channel ports have been blocked for so long and we can't send soldiers to Calais for reinforcement. You can see how difficult this battle is for you."

Isabella's expression was cold and solemn, and her eyes were fierce.

"Your decision disappoints me!"

"I am disappointed in you, Isabella. As a Frenchman, and known as the She-Wolf of France, you actually chose England instead of France at this time. You have really thrown away your previous persistence."

"You don't understand anything."

"Of course I don't understand, but I understand that England should lose this battle." Xu Siling waved his hand casually. Isabella was just a tool to him and there was nothing to talk about.

He turned to look at Philippa and spoke softly.

"I'll arrange for someone to send you off."

Philippa was not ready to leave, and immediately asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Why? Of course it's killing people." Xu Siling said coldly, "I'm not playing house, I'm not acting with anyone, Philippa. If I choose to do this, someone has to die, but I believe that the person who dies will not be a French person, at least in this land."

"You want to plunder the north?"

"almost."

"Aren't you afraid that if you let me go back, I'll tell others about your plan and arrange for them to intercept and kill me?"

"Don't be afraid. Look at the soldiers around me. England is currently fighting on three fronts. Where in England is there a troop of a decent size that can intercept and kill me?"

"But as long as Edward returns from the port with his troops!"

Xu Siling patted Philippa's shoulder lightly, which was rare. "I don't care. Not to mention whether he can intercept me, even if he can, the number of people is not enough, not even enough for me to eat. If he is willing to put his troops on me, won't it indirectly reduce the reinforcements of Calais and speed up the progress of my French siege? As long as John controls Calais, how long will it take for the French troops to set foot on the land of England?"

Philippa stared, "You are gambling with your life! You are stalling for time with your life!"

Xu Siling narrowed her eyes: "You firmly believe that Edward will come back with his troops to encircle and suppress me."

"Because." Philippa subconsciously felt that she shouldn't say it, but after thinking about it, she finally said it: "My husband is indeed a man with corrupt morals, but he is a filial son, and he loves Queen Isabella very much. You may find it hard to believe this fact. After all, my husband once pushed Queen Isabella off the regency."

"No, I believe it."

"what?"

"Philippa, you have never lied to me, so I trust you. Unfortunately, I have lied to you many times."

This sentence is also a lie.

Because Xu Siling knew from history that Edward was a filial son. When Edward knew that he had kidnapped Queen Isabella, he would most likely put aside everything and transfer his troops to encircle and suppress him first.

That's why Xu Siling was so determined to kidnap Isabella.

But to put it another way, if you can win Philippa's heart, why not do it?

"Xu you.!"

"Well, I'm afraid our relationship has to end now. You don't want to be misunderstood by others, so I'll have someone send you away."

Philippa was led to turn around and walk a few steps. In the end, she made some decision and ran back in a confused state.

"what happened?"

"Can I stay?"

Xu Siling was surprised: "Why do you want to stay?"

"I don't know. Maybe. I'm afraid that you will win. If France is going to win, it shouldn't be wrong for me to do this, right?"

Philippa lied, even though she was typically not a liar.

But Xu Siling didn't mind.

He accepted it with a smile.

"You better think about it carefully. If you stay with me, England might misunderstand you."

"Not necessarily. London already knows that I was kidnapped. If I go back safely, I'm afraid I'll be easily suspected. If I stay with you, they will just think I was kidnapped."

"And Isabella?"

Philippa obviously didn't want to talk about her mother-in-law and shook her head.

"You can follow me if you want, don't worry, but we are running very fast, I'm afraid your body can't bear it."

"Don't underestimate me. I accompanied Edward during the Battle of Crécy!"

Xu Siling knows this.

The soldiers pushed Isabella over, which meant that the main force had regrouped.

He rests here at a fixed place, and everything is planned.

There happened to be an English town nearby, the kind without walls, like many villages gathered together to form a town.

It is an extremely easy target to attack.

Philippa and Isabella were treated differently in the army.

Isabella was a typical imprisoned person, while Philippa was like a member of the army, free to roam around without any hindrance.

This scene further confirmed for Isabella the fact that Philippa had rebelled.

They simply set up a camp here, regrouped the soldiers, and after leaving fifty soldiers behind, all the rest went out to plunder the town.

Xu Siling was not prepared to follow the expedition. He stood on a rock and looked at his team of soldiers.

Shout loudly.

"You all remember this! I've said this before, but I don't mind saying it again!"

"Everyone in this world is about to die. It can be said that we are born in this world to die! But France is eternal. In other words, you will also be eternal!"

"Plunder everything in sight and kill any enemy that resists!"

Philippa, who was listening nearby, was horrified and quietly interrupted.

"Xu, are you serious? Didn't you say that as a saint's army, you would never wantonly kill civilians?"

Xu Siling couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "That's different. Before in France, no matter how we fought, it was a civil war, but now it's a war between two countries."

"No, it's the same. We are all believers of the Lord and the Lord's people." Philippa felt that her words were frivolous and had no credibility at all.

She didn't even think that her few words could make Xu Siling change her mind.

Just when she gave up.

Xu Siling smiled and said, “Well, I’ll change it and listen to Queen Philippa’s advice.”

"Kill all enemies who resist! As for the civilians who don't resist, let them hide in their houses."

"Yes!"

Philippa was shocked. She didn't expect Xu Siling to really listen to her! She felt strange inside.

Just as the troops were preparing to attack, Xu Siling called out to Terry and said something in his ear.

Terry understood immediately and nodded in response with a smile.

Xu Siling mounted her horse and went for a walk (to add BUFF), signaling the soldiers left behind to take good care of Philippa.

Philippa watched Xu Siling easily change the battle order because of her few words. She felt extremely complicated and sat down in a random place in the camp to rest.

I was in a daze for a long time.

Until the sky was filled with cries of pain and thick smoke of looting. (End of this chapter)
