Chapter 2106 The opportunity cannot be lost, it will never come again
[Raki, I have arrived at Tower Bridge, where should the keys be sent? ——Morton]
After sending the email, Morton slowed down and stopped temporarily by the bridge, pretending to be a pedestrian watching the river view. He held the guardrail with both hands and watched the cruise ships passing by on the river.
Not long after, the phone dinged and a new email came through.
[The bridge tower on the side of the Tower of London, the highest floor, in front of the picture window facing the Tower of London.——Raki]
Tower Bridge was built in 1886. It is the first bridge from the mouth of the Thames River. It is known as the "Main Gate of London". It is built across the Thames River. The upper layer is for pedestrians to pass, and the lower layer is for vehicles to pass.
There are two main towers erected on the bridge, with stairs for people to go up and down. It also has exhibition halls, museums, and bars, which also allow visitors to climb up and take a long view, and enjoy the scenery of the upper and lower reaches of the Thames River.
The Tower of London is located on the river bank on one side and can be reached after exiting the Tower Bridge. It is actually a palace and a fortress building. It was built much earlier than the Tower Bridge. It was built as early as the 11th century.
Morton quickly arrived at the bridge tower near the Tower of London. He went up the stairs one by one. When he reached the highest floor, he walked to the picture window and looked at the view of the Thames. He was about to take out his mobile phone to send a message.
When I received the email, I saw half a white cigarette butt falling outside the window.
This is……
"Ding dong!"
New email: [Don’t alert anyone, climb out the window.——Raki]
The two main towers of Tower Bridge in London have white marble tops and five small spiers, which look like two crowns from a distance.
Chi Feichi stood at the edge of the top of the slope. After sending the email, he put his mobile phone and the necklace he had taken off in advance into a fire-proof and water-repellent bag, pulled out the lanyard, hung it around his neck, and put it under his clothes.
You may fall into the water soon, so be sure to collect your important belongings in advance.
When the tourists were not paying attention, Morton opened the viewing window and looked up to see the figure in black leaning against the sloping roof.
Is it any wonder that his colleagues said that Lark was missing and actually on the roof of Tower Bridge...
Chi Feichi held up Lark's disguise, lowered his eyes and looked at Morton, then looked at the Tower of London on the river bank.
Morton walked along the narrow outer window sill, and when he got closer, he said, "Why did you choose the place on the top of the tower? Climbing so high is very dangerous."
On the high tower, the strong wind blowing in the face was not blocked by the building, and the clothes and hair of the two people were constantly blowing.
"This kind of place is not considered dangerous for us, right?" Chi Fei hissed, "Have you brought the key?"
"Bring it here," Moton took out two keys from his pants pocket and handed them to Chi Feichi, "I'm sorry, I finally asked for leave for a walk, but I ended up having to climb up and down at such a high place again.
I couldn’t help but complain.”
Chi Feichi took the key and put it into his coat pocket, "Thank you for your hard work."
Morton knew that being polite was of no use at all. Even if they were planning to kill people, these guys didn't mind being polite, but he couldn't pretend not to hear it, "It's nothing, but are these two keys very important?"
"
"There may be something hidden inside that I've always wanted to know." Chi Feichi hissed and looked at the Tower of London again.
"Lark, do you know anything about the Tower of London? This fortress has stood on the Thames River for centuries." Morton also looked at the Tower of London. Thinking of the bug he had placed on his body, his heart beat a little faster. He pretended to sigh casually,
"First it was the king's residence, then it was the king's accommodation before boarding the plane, then it became the last residence of the royal family members before their death, and then it became a tourist attraction..."
He wanted to deliver a message to his superiors - Lark was here alone on the top of the tower.
Even if there is an organized spy nearby, they are on the Tower Bridge below. They also have manpower below. On their territory, their manpower will not be less than that organization's manpower. And looking out from here, the surroundings are clear, and there is no suitable sniper.
He did not find any snipers nearby...
Their people could have sneaked into the tower. Before the people of the organization discovered the abnormality, some of them would guard all the windows leading to the roof, and some of them would climb out of the windows and surround Lark.
It's just that although this place is hidden, it can be easily surrounded. Why would Lark choose to meet him here?
Was it his recent cooperation that made Lark relax his guard, or was it... a trap?
If they try to capture Lark, if they fail, he will have no way to lurk anymore, but if he doesn't try, he won't be willing to watch such a good opportunity slip away.
Chi Feichi looked at the Tower of London silently and said nothing.
Of course he knew that the Tower of London also housed a flock of crows with broken wings.
Fei Mo had already gone to the Tower of London to explore, and luckily he came out with all his beards and tail. When he received Fei Mo's message, he was really worried that Fei Mo would be caught, have his wings clipped and locked up.
"It contains the treasure house, mint, and armory from back then," Morton smiled bitterly in his heart. He chose to stay here and chat with Lark. He had clearly made a decision long ago, "Of course, there is also the notorious prison...
"
His decision was—catch!
Even if this was Lark's test of him, everything would be conducive to their capture of Lark. Here, he really couldn't think of how Lark could run away if he was surrounded.
As long as they can capture Lark, they may be able to obtain more information about that organization than if he had been lurking for three to five years.
He has been lurking for three to five years, and he is probably in a position like Lark where he can direct operations and clean up undercover agents for the organization, right?
The signal has been sent out. It's an opportunity that cannot be missed. Before his colleagues come around, he must hold Luck back, relax Luck's vigilance, and try not to let Luck discover anything unusual in the bridge tower.
After making up his mind, Morton took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, randomly took one out and bit it. He was going to enjoy the scenery and smoke a cigarette here. Lack couldn't rush him away. If Luck was ready to leave, he would
He also had to find a way to hold Lark back, "There are instruments of torture, a guillotine, and a legendary haunted room. When it comes to the Tower of London, it always seems to remind people of Mary I, the person from whom the name of the cocktail 'Bloody Mary' comes."
-The Tudor Queen…”
Chi Feichi guessed Morton's plan, looked at the white buildings of the Tower of London, and cooperated to delay time, hissing, "I think her father Henry VIII has a deeper relationship with the Tower of London than Mary I.
."
The only connection between Mary Tudor and the Tower of London was that she imprisoned her half-sister in the Tower.
The reason why people remember this period of history is probably because her sister later became the famous "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth I.
Mary Tudor's life can be compared to a human tragedy.
Mary's mother was originally a Spanish princess who married Henry VIII, the then King of England, and became queen. However, because she did not give birth to a son, Henry VIII forced her to divorce.
Henry VIII then married his mistress Anne Boleyn. From then on, Mary Tudor was no longer the eldest princess, but was classified as an illegitimate daughter by Henry VIII. She also became a servant of her half-sister and could only be
Known as 'Miss Mary Tudor', not Princess Mary, she was not allowed to see her mother, and was not even allowed to attend her mother's funeral after her death.
At the same time, when Mary was still a little princess, Henry VIII frequently discussed marriage with the princes of various European countries. Those men either thought that Mary was too young and could not afford to wait, or refused to engage because of political reasons. After that, Mary, who had a stepmother,
She was classified as an 'illegitimate daughter', and no one wanted to marry her. She was single until she was in her thirties.
When Mary ascended the throne, she was nearly forty years old. At that time, someone wanted to marry her, but she wanted to marry her supporter and cousin, Emperor Charles V of Spain.
Charles V was indeed a supporter of Mary, but he did not intend to continue his marriage after his wife's death, and he felt that he was too old in his fifties, so he recommended his son to rule on his behalf.
Later, Mary married her cousin's son...
In those years, the royal families of various European countries always had this troublesome relationship between incestuous marriages.
In the married life of a young married woman, Mary's husband respected her, but it was not love between a man and a woman, and Mary married him just to have an heir.
Unfortunately, Mary had false pregnancies many times and was ridiculed by the court. She still did not go through all the hardships to give birth to a son. She was not even able to give birth to a child. In the end, she had to pass the throne to her half-sister Elizabeth.
The grievances and grievances back then were inevitably due to religious factors.
Due to her mother's influence, Mary was a Catholic. The Protestantism converted by her stepmother and biological father classified her as an illegitimate daughter and did not recognize her parents' marriage. Therefore, after she ascended the throne, she restored the old Catholicism and ordered three hundred people to be burned to death.
Several Protestants, including the archbishop who annulled her parents' marriage.
After Mary came to power, this large-scale revenge on her father, half-sister, and Protestant believers also earned her the title of "Bloody Mary".
Unfortunately, in the end, Mary could only pass the throne to her sister who believed in Protestantism, and could no longer hinder the development of Protestantism. It was impossible to say whether the counterattack was successful or failed in her life.
And compared to Mary I who imprisoned her sister in the Tower of London, there are many more stories about Henry VIII and the Tower of London.
Henry VIII had six queens in his lifetime.
After abandoning Mary I's mother, Henry VIII married his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Because Anne Boleyn failed to give Henry VIII a son, Henry VIII set his sights on Anne's ladies-in-waiting.
Later, Henry VIII imprisoned Anne in the Tower of London on the grounds that she was having an affair with her brother.
Within a year, Anne was beheaded, and her execution took place in the Tower of London.
Henry VIII immediately declared his marriage invalid, and together with Anne's lady-in-waiting, she finally gave birth to her son Edward Tudor, who later became Edward VI. Less than half a month after giving birth, the lady-in-waiting died due to childbirth.
The mattress is so hot.
After that, Henry VIII married another princess from a small country. Because he didn't like her appearance, Henry VIII once again declared his marriage invalid and divorced the princess from a small country.
Later, Henry VIII married his fifth wife, Catherine Howard. After the marriage, Catherine had an extramarital affair with a minister and was imprisoned in the Tower of London Prison by Henry VIII and hanged.
Until Henry VIII’s sixth wife...
At that time, Henry VIII was older, in poor health, and had a bad temper. Fortunately, his sixth wife gave in at the right time and finally survived.
In addition, Henry VIII's sister Jane Gray was pushed to the throne after Edward VI due to political and religious reasons. She only reigned for nine days and was deposed due to political and religious reasons. Parliament supported Henry VIII's daughter Mary.
As Queen, 16-year-old Jane Gray was imprisoned in the Tower of London and soon secretly executed.
The two wives were executed in the Tower of London, the sister was executed in the Tower of London, and one daughter imprisoned the other daughter in the Tower of London...
Speaking of the Tower of London, it was difficult for him not to think of Henry VIII and the absurd history of England in those years.
