After An Ning returned from the National Salvation Committee, Christina happened to have just attended a tea party.
She immediately came up to him and asked with concern: "How is it?"
"We were originally going to send people to arrest Barras, but before sending people, Robespierre wrote a message telling Danton about this. As a result, Danton came over aggressively and had a big quarrel with Robespierre.
Fight." An Ning told his wife what just happened with a look of helplessness.
Christina opened her mouth: "How could this happen? Did what she did to prevent the two of them from breaking up actually lead to a breakup between the two of them?"
"No, I forced my way in to smooth things over for the two of them, at least temporarily avoiding this situation." An Ning paused, remembered the family crest, and asked Christina, "What do you think of the design of our family's crest?"
How about being a knight who attacks windmills?"
Cristina was even more shocked: "Don Quixote? Why? Why do you use Don Quixote as your coat of arms?"
An Ning: "Because I launch another attack against a huge enemy that only exists in my imagination."
While talking, An Ning thought mockingly to herself: Maybe she is not a time traveler at all, but just imagined a world that does not exist.
I don't know any "real history", everything is just an illusion. As long as I get a little black Tai Sui, I will become a pure person of this era.
It seems that I am obsessed with thinking this way.
Christie looked at An Ning tenderly: "No matter what you fight, I will be by your side."
An Ning silently hugged Christina.
I don't know why, but the melody of "The Lonely Warrior" suddenly sounded in An Ning's mind at this moment.
He is not a lone brave man, fighting in an unknown place against a huge enemy that even his wife cannot explain clearly.
Thinking this, An Ning tightened her arms.
Christina couldn't breathe and murmured: "Andy, breathe..."
An Ning kissed her, making her even more breathless.
After a moment, he let go of his fiancée and wiped his mouth gently.
Christina gasped for air and complained: "The new corset I wore today is very tight. I almost fainted when you hugged me just now!"
An Ning: "Who made your chest muscles so exaggerated? If you were like Napoleon's sister, there would be absolutely no problem."

Paulina was cutting the cake when she suddenly sneezed so loudly that the cream on the cake flew away and sprayed all over Napoleon's face across the table.
Napoleon was startled: "I'll go! Your sneeze is so generous, you are worthy of being my sister."

After finishing the love talk, An Ning felt much better.
It seems that nibbling on my fiancée more can help resolve mental internal friction.
Cristina was still on the previous topic: "But what are you fighting against? As a French national salvation hero, using Don Quixote as your family emblem may lead to all kinds of unnecessary speculations. And it is not consistent with heraldry.
study."
An Ning: "That's all I said, forget it. Did you go to the tea party?"
Christina shrugged: "I went. By the way, I heard an interesting news. The Chateau Malmaison has canceled the scheduled salon and tea party today."
An Ning: "Oh?"
"And today a lady sent a message to invite Madame Beauharnais, but she didn't get a single reply."
An Ning frowned: "Josephine—I mean, has Madame Beauharnais heard the news?"
Christina: "It's not like I just heard the news in the morning, because the gardener I arranged at the Chateau Malmaison didn't see her today. Maybe she went out to find Paul Barras at night."
An Ning: "It's possible."
At this time, An Ning had some hope in her heart: maybe Barras would misjudge the situation and make a profit, which would be much easier.

Josephine Beauharnais met her lover Paul Barras.
Barras looked at his old lover in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Then he immediately became alert: "Something happened in Paris?"
Josephine: "Have you received the letter I sent you? I asked Charles to deliver it yesterday. He should have arrived today."
Barras frowned. Although most men in this era would not have any objections to their lover having another woman, Paul Barras was one of those people who didn't really like this kind of thing.
But he didn't care too much about this matter, but shook his head solemnly: "No, I didn't receive the letter, and I didn't see Lieutenant Charles."
Josephine: "Oh no, my premonition came true and I was intercepted."
Barras: "Maybe he opened the letter and saw the contents, and then went to seek refuge with others."
"He won't, he must have been intercepted." Josephine didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so she continued to push the topic, "I wrote in the letter that Danton and Robespierre would inevitably split over time, and also
"Writing about Frost's fiancée's botched spying skills, and a few other inconsequential details, who do you think was most likely to intercept this letter?"
Barras had a sullen face: "That's too many. I have many enemies in Paris. It doesn't matter who intercepted it. What matters is our reaction."
Josephine: "Yes, let's run away now. I still have relatives in Austria and went to Austria..."
"No!" Barras flatly refused, "Once I run away, I will never be able to come back to France, unless the Bourbons are restored. The important thing at this time is to find someone who can protect me."
Barras paced back and forth, muttering as he walked: "Go to Frost? He has the ability to protect me, he certainly does, but he doesn't like to engage in political struggles. Unless I can prove that I have sufficient military ability, otherwise he will
They won’t protect me, never!”
Josephine suggested: "How about giving Dandong a try? Dandong might be able to lend a helping hand! He is tired of the endless killings and has gradually become the leader of those in the parliament who advocate an end to the terrorist policy."
Barras shook his head: "Dandong is the most likely to protect me, but he is not strong enough and may not be able to protect me. No, no, it is very important to make the right choice at this time. I need to find someone who is upright and will not
Justice is given to those who are shaken by their emotions.”
Josephine seemed to have guessed what Barras was going to say next, and shook her head repeatedly: "No! You are crazy! That man wants to send fifty people to the guillotine every day!"
Barras said firmly: "Do you still have a copy of the letter? Or can you copy almost the content of the letter?
"I'm going to go to Robespierre to tell him the content of the letter in person and convince him that the letter is not that important! Only in this way can the matter be prevented from deteriorating further!"
