34. The roots of the French Revolution that you don't know (1)

Time: 1667

Location: Marseille, France

Just at the end of last year, the British and Dutch ended the war and re-divided the sphere of influence. Although the maritime hegemony between Britain and the Netherlands still did not end, peace was temporarily ushered in the world.

The New Han Empire in the East devoted itself to its full development, while enhancing national strength and strengthening control over the new territory.

The Qing Dynasty obtained a large number of people that could be exploited through war. The shaving orders that would have fallen on the heads of the Han people in history all fell on the verbs of the people they stolen from Tsarist Russia. The people of Tsarist Russia in this era obviously did not have the spirit of resistance of the Han people, nor did they have the future great sentiment of "liberating all mankind" after having a spiritual mentor, and obediently accepted the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Tsarist Russia turned a blind eye to this, but stepped up its preparations. It spent the last of 66 years in the chaos of war around the world.

However, the war between the world has subsided, and the struggles within the world have quietly focused on France.

Today, the Catholic forces in Marseille welcomed Cardinal Wells Martin, a major figure from the Vatican. His arrival made the Catholic forces in Marseille start to take action and prepare to hunt the evil witch, that is, Astrid.

As an intelligence agency stationed in Europe, looking back at the Donggu Chamber of Commerce, relying on its connections in the church, it easily learned the news. The Ling brothers looked solemn when they learned the news. No matter from which perspective, the target of the church hunting was definitely Lily picked up by Xiao Yi. Lily and the other party's goals were very consistent. In order to seek credit from their superiors, the local church leader also issued a commission to the part of the work in Donggu because of the efficiency of the chamber of commerce in the past.

Originally, if it weren't for Xiao Yi's incident, the two brothers would definitely take action immediately. After all, the life and death of a witch did not conflict with their mission. But now, when their own people have established a deep relationship with the existence of the most likely goal, based on the idea of ​​the interests of compatriots in the New Han Empire, and also hope to have both organizational interests, at most it would be a failure of the task and would not affect the relationship with the church. On the one hand, the two brothers took over the church's task in a false way, and on the other hand, they began to contact Xiao Yi, preparing to transfer Xiao Yi and Lily to Paris, and then fully assist the church in searching for non-existent targets in Marseille.

The next day, looking back, the Donggu Chamber of Commerce regularly sent high-priced luxury goods to Paris, which supplied high-priced luxury goods to high-ranking churches and nobles, and there was a little more weight in the cargo box loaded with luxury goods. In order not to be suspicious, Xiao Yi and Lily were stuffed into the cargo box (Xiao and the girl pressed all kinds of edge balls in the small space without placing them), and quietly went to Paris under the protection of the French army specially sent to escort goods.

The Ling brothers called the new Han soldiers who came to Europe in the same period as Xiao Yi disguised themselves as Xiao Yi and continued the work that Xiao Yi was originally responsible for. In order to be perfect, they often used practice methods to eliminate the specific memory of Lily for the work-related methods of Xiao Yi. Then they looked back at the part of the work-related work in the Donggu Chamber of Commerce and began to actively play the role of the helper of the church.

A few days later, Wells Martin angrily threw furniture in the room arranged by the Marseille church. Under the intense search he presided over, Marseille did not react at all. He clearly sensed the existence of Jin Qiangwei. If she was not injured, Marseille would have been dead for a long time under her anger. He had long been planning how to calm Jin Qiangwei's anger while running away. After all, Jin Qiangwei had never seen him directly in Marseille, and he had turned around. Instead of letting him throw things to vent his anger in Marseille, which was safe and sound like now.

The only confirmable result is that Jin Qiangwei is in very poor condition, so she dare not show up directly. For Wells Martin, this is an opportunity to use his own geographical advantage to lead the other Qiangwei to kill Jin Qiangwei; he really didn't want to give up. "Damn it! Where is Jin Qiangwei hiding? It's obviously blocking Marseille! There must be something missing!" He punched the table hard, and at this time, the church staff pushed the door and came in.

"Is there any news about that cunning witch?" Wells Martin stared at the church monks who came in with blood, making the other party nervous immediately. "Sir! We have blocked Marseille as your instructions, and the nobles and merchants are also very involved. Recently, except for our partner, the devout church of the Ling brothers, who organized a convoy to transport luxury goods to Paris, as usual, no one or organization left Marseille.

"By the way! It must be that convoy! Why don't you stop the search??" The monk showed a embarrassed expression. "We have searched strictly, but we did not find any suspicious existence like a witch. There is no problem with using magical detection. In addition, the cargo contained goods designated by the princes and nobles in Paris and the adults of our church... Our local church has no right to stop..." The implication is clear, and the local church is unwilling to offend the superior department.

Wells Martin almost frowned, "Is Paris? OK! OK!" He shouted three times, Wells Martin left the room without any stop, slammed the door and left...

"I really don't know how such a guy sat in the position of Cardinal, like a fool!!" When Wells Martin walked away, the monk began to complain and pack up the room. The Marseille blockade ended on the same day.

A few days later, a carriage belonging to the church was driving on the road from Marseille to Paris. However, although there was only one person in the carriage, if you were in the carriage, you could find that the carriage was very lively.

"Oh! Our Lord Wells is so brave. The pig's knot was over. He discovered the current state of Jin Qiangwei. To be honest, when Marseille was blocked, I was going to help you pick up bones the next day!" A female voice rang in the carriage with teasing.

"You cowards! If Jin Qiangwei hadn't been lucky, I would have succeeded!! Where would you turn to appear?" Wells Martin suppressed his great anger. Jin Qiangwei's escape made him not relieved yet.

"It has been half a year since she left her in the East, but she has not reappeared yet. When facing you, you still have to take the method of running away. The golden rose has also fallen to the ground. However, it is an irrefutable fact that the injury is very serious. So let's compete fairly in Paris!" This is an elegant female voice, but the meaning of teasing is so obvious.

"The female fox who only confuses men! She can only hide in the dark corner to plot against some things that are there or not!" Wells Martin retorted.

"Okay! You guys! I'll quit this hunt!" This is a rough male voice with a strong Arabic accent.

"Hmph! A wise judgment! Heresy! If you dare to appear in Paris, I don't mind killing you both public and private!" Wells Martin showed a vicious smile.

"Hmph! It's not certain who dies! I wish you all the time to be killed by the reverse and I can share your 'rose plant' with Jin Qiangwei!" Then the male voice with an Arab accent completely disappeared.

"The wailing cry of the dog!!" Wells Martin didn't care at all, and made a sneering voice, then asked, "I haven't heard the opinions of the 'businessman'. Did he give up?"

"You guessed it wrong. He has arrived in Paris! I guess he is not interested in participating in this meaningless discussion. He is starting to look for Golden Rose with red eyes! And I am about to arrive in Paris! I guess the female fox is too. So look back and see our dear Bishop!" The calm in the carriage was restored...

Afterwards, Wells looked furious and disappeared into the carriage.

Location: Outside the outskirts of Paris, looking back at the industry - Nectar Vineyard

In a manor bought by Donggu in the outskirts of Paris, Xiao Yi took Lily to the hiding place arranged by the Ling brothers. This is a vineyard run by Donggu Chamber of Commerce that specializes in the production of wine materials.

"Lily! We're at the new home!" Xiao Yi took Lily's hand and walked into the new residence. However, since the girl was stuffed into a luxury carriage with Xiao Yi, she became very interested in the jade products found in the same carriage and could not be separated. In the end, Xiao Yi had to pay for the jade product out of her own pocket. By the way, after seeing this jade product, Xiao Yi was also surprised. I wonder if there was an omission in the management. A piece of extremely high-quality "spiritual jade" that was originally impossible to export was actually made into products and sent to Europe... Are the customs blind? It seems that she is going to write a report back.

However, the matter of the public is one thing. For Xiao Yi himself, this is undoubtedly a gift from God. "Spiritual Jade" is different from ordinary jade. It is a few existences that can nourish the soul after wearing it. It is generally used to assist in practice. The raw stone can stabilize and nourish the soul of the wearer during practice. What's more, this piece of spiritual jade is obviously processed by practitioners. This is only the research institutions of the New Han Dynasty and major practice sects can acquire the materials to allocate quotas, and even intelligence departments like them cannot be allocated.

As for the reasons, one is that they cannot use it, because if they are hurt by souls, and they are really serious, and they are not dead, they can return to China for treatment. The other is that the country does not want any materials that are conducive to the creation of strong people to flow overseas. Therefore, in addition to spiritual jade, the list of prohibited exports has gradually listed a full list of the thickness equivalent to the later "Xinhua Dictionary" of the "Xinhua Dictionary" in the future, regardless of whether the quantity is scarce, just like monopolizing oriental specialties.

Therefore, Ling Tianyi did not propose to use Lingyu during treatment. One reason was that Lily was an outsider after all, and the other reason was that she did not know whether she was an enemy or a friend after being cured. Even the treatment of her body was for Xiao Yi's sake.

Location: Quanzhou, Fujian

Zhang Ling has already combined with Lisia Novis, who joined the New Man, and has put down his hatred, focused on being the master of the family, and has also begun to become a researcher in Yin Yu's "Ru Mo" research room. However, his wife is in a very bad mood recently. The specific reason seems to be that her wife illegally sent to her friend Alein, who is far away in the UK, and the gift made with high-quality spiritual jade, carefully made with her husband, was used as a commodity by the careless New Man in charge of shipping. She didn't know where to send this thing to the New Man's sphere of influence. The couple had entrusted a lot of relationships and finally got put on the ship. Now it's just like Yunshen is in charge of shipping...

Now Lisia is in depression; and Zhang Ling is also in depression. The New Han Empire will not pay for this matter. The friend who was allowed to send Lingyu on the ship was severely punished the next day. Both of them were suspected of smuggling important materials and were tortured by the relevant departments for a long time before they were spared. Now both are in a state of burning out. As for the second mailing, even Lisia, who was naturally out of control, would never mention it. It can be seen that the New Han management of important materials is so strict. The couple said that they should review the "New Han Law".

Although Lisia kept saying, "Is it so serious?", the final result proved that the new reshuffle of the rose association in Europe caused by this piece of spiritual jade.

Location: France

It has been several weeks since I arrived in Paris. Xiao Yi and Lily's life is simple and calm, but full of warmth. Looking back at Donggu, Donggu rarely uses force to complete tasks. Their connections can basically make most of the missions complete without bloodshed. Instead, it comes from the church and nobles. Looking back at Donggu, when he was driving the most force, Xiao Yi, who was particularly cared for, was very idle, so he had a lot of time to accompany Lily. He started the dishes he would cook every day in the past six months, although in the East, "June"

"Ziyuan is far away from the kitchen", but under the impact of the new ideas and coincidence of the new Han Dynasty, Xiao Yi, who had participated in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts examination, can now cook skillfully. It should be said that he is worthy of being a human environmental adaptability? He did not notice at all that Lily looked at him, and there was a trace of complexity that was not previously complicated. It was definitely not the emotions that Lily showed by the mental age that Lily showed now, but this expression quickly disappeared, and Lily's pure eyes were restored. He shouted, "Xiao! Get up to eat!" and completely returned to the behavior of a three-year-old child...
