ps: Chapter 1, there is another chapter around twelve o’clock, ask for tickets, please subscribe
At this time, Dio and Earl Wellington supported each other, and led dozens of sturdy soldiers to enter the castle to search for Queen Mary.
While boosting morale, the grim-faced middle-aged man leading the Scottish guards seemed to know their purpose, and his eyes were fixed on the moving Earl Wilson.
The head-like man turned his head and muttered to the guards wearing ethnic plaid skirts beside him, but Earl Wilson felt that the resisting Scottish army became more brave, and blocked the exit position regardless of casualties.
The constant shouting in the mouth of the Scottish guards, the morale of Goldman Sachs is getting higher and higher.
In the era of cold weapons, what the two armies want to see is basically morale, and the army with higher morale has a greater advantage.
The Earl felt that they could not do what they wanted. The longer the delay, the more troublesome it would be for them.
"Mr. Major, go, go immediately, I'm afraid the situation will be beyond our expectations!"
The Earl glanced at the Scottish commander, pulled Major Dio, and walked hurriedly.
Even though the Scots resisted more and more powerfully, but in the end it was the English army that had a large number of troops. Under the order of the Earl, the Scottish army soon showed a crack.
The Earl and his team quickly took advantage of this good opportunity and broke into the castle.
Holding the blood-dripping weapon, after the Earl and his party entered the castle, the maids and servants who passed by along the way obviously knew when it was, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. They did not encounter any resistance.
For the jewels and servants along the way, they didn't stop for the next step, and went straight to the goal.
Led by Major Dio, everyone soon came to Queen Mary's bedroom.
I saw that the two doors inlaid with agate and gemstones were closed tightly, and they looked very tight.
Lord Earl took a look, and his expression became more and more serious.
Under the earl's signal, two sturdy soldiers began to hit the gate with their bodies.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three times in a row, the seemingly difficult door was knocked open at once.
Major Dio couldn't help but feel contemptuous, but his face was still expressionless.
Earl Wellington walked in without stopping his eyes.
Major Dio also walked in when he saw this, and kicked a few French soldiers who were about to knock the gem off the door by the way.
Walking into the bedroom, the huge fireplace is what impresses the eye, which looks spectacular.
Then, the glittering dressing table in the bedroom, the dazzling array of jewelry and cosmetics, aroused the interest of many people.
Besides, gorgeous yet cozy huge beds were placed there, the goose down quilts were still lifted, but their owners were nowhere to be seen.
In view of this, Earl Wellington and Major Dio couldn't help but look disappointed.
But Earl Wellington did not give up. As a member of the nobles, he understood the mentality of those nobles very well, and he also knew the positions of some secret passages established by the nobles.
He ordered people to lift up the huge bed, or lift the sheets, but unfortunately, this is a normal bed.
Now it's not just him, even the soldiers are downcast. They know that this time they are afraid of returning in vain, and the greatest credit has actually escaped.
But Major Dio made a new discovery. When he walked into the dressing table, he felt a little abnormal, but he couldn't remember where it was for a while.
Through thinking, when his gaze turned to the messy bed, he suddenly remembered something abnormal.
The dressing table is too neat, and the jewelry and cosmetics are neatly placed one by one, which is too normal.
I saw him approaching the dressing table, squatting down, groping for something on the surface of the dressing table with his hands, finally, behind the dressing table, he felt a button, and Dio pressed it without thinking.
Immediately, the dressing table moved directly to the right for a certain distance, and what appeared in front of them was a cave.
It was pitch black, with no light inside, revealing a hint of danger. The Earl looked up, and except for the long stairs, the front was blurred.
Everyone fell silent for a while, looked at each other, and couldn't help but shrink back.
This can't help everyone to be timid. In this unfamiliar black hole secret passage, who knows what traps and dangers are waiting for them. Besides, Queen Mary and her party are also inside. If they ambush, they may all see God He is old.
Earl Wellington saw everyone's hesitation, but he didn't hesitate. Go in, you must go in.
In fact, Edward had already gotten through with him before, capturing Queen Mary and reuniting their mother and daughter. This was a requirement he had to fulfill.
Edward's reward is also very generous. His Excellency the Earl will become history, and His Excellency the Marquis will be his future title.
And most importantly, Edward allowed his nephew to inherit his title of Marquis, which is a great thing.
Before that, after the establishment of the Tudor royal family, in view of the fact that the War of the Red and White Roses was caused by the excessive power of the nobility, starting from Henry VII, the right to inherit the title of nobility in England generally belonged to the direct blood relatives, such as nephews and nieces. it's out of the question.
This method really worked. In the decades since the establishment of the Tudor Dynasty, there were as many as a dozen extinct nobles. That is to say, under the arrangement of God, the titles of nobles above the baron were cancelled.
But even though the nobles have worked very hard, their descendants are getting weaker and weaker.
"Let's go! Let's go in together, and everyone will be rewarded with ten pounds!"
The earl can only fight for the inheritance of his title and the longevity of the family.
The earl was heartbroken, and after saying these words of encouragement, he immediately took the lead and walked in first.
After being aroused by the reward, the English and French soldiers also followed. Major Dio could only shake his head and followed with a wry smile.
His mission is basically completed, so there is no need to fight so hard, but everyone has gone, and he doesn't want to offend Earl Wilson, so he knows this, so he translates the words of the Earl, so that the French soldiers are willing to follow .
Walking around, following the footprints, the Earl of Wellington and others walked slowly, their spirits collapsed tightly, and their eyes were always paying attention to their feet and surroundings, for fear of any traps.
From time to time, they had to wade into the water and cross some collapsed places. After half an hour, even though they were in good health, they still couldn't eat and were too tired.
Just as they were about to rest, the Earl seemed to hear a woman talking, and couldn't help but feel happy.
After signaling to everyone to whisper, the Earl arranged for everyone to quietly surround him.
The Queen Mother Mary, who was resting, looked at the soldiers surrounding her, but she was taken aback.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother! Our Majesty the King and the Queen are waiting for you in London so hard!"
