At that moment, Zhang Yanling told the Almeida father and daughter some other things to pay attention to. For example, this kind of thing must be done by forming gangs and gathering everyone's strength. This time when returning to Franchi Country, Prince William's enemies must be united to work together.
People like Prince William naturally have many enemies. Once these people have the opportunity to take action, they will not hesitate.
In addition, in view of the situation in France, Zhang Yanling suggested that Almeida seek the support of the Holy See, which would provide an additional layer of guarantee. During this period, Zhang Yanling captured many clergy, including the local bishop, Father Markel.
He is an important figure in the Holy See, one of the eight bishops of the Holy See of France, and the right-hand man of Archbishop Kyle. Knowing that this person has such a profound background, it is natural that he cannot but make use of him.
Fortunately, Almeida had no previous problems with Father Markle, so she might be able to take advantage of this relationship.
In addition, Zhang Yanling also came up with some other ideas. When she learned that Prince William was a lecherous person, Zhang Yanling asked Almeida to immediately spread the news that Prince William was having an affair with Manuel's woman after she returned to the country.
To add fuel to the flames, Zhang Yanling told Almeida that it didn't matter whether the news was true or false, just spread it. As long as the news was unfavorable to Prince William, even if it was fabrication or rumor, it could be spread secretly and openly.
The Almeidas really opened their eyes tonight. Although it is not groundless that Prince William is trying to usurp the throne, it is probably the truth. However, they use all kinds of non-existent evidence to fabricate and even create rumors and frame up, and they use all possible means.
The means achieved the goal of exposing and overthrowing him, but it was far beyond the understanding of the father and daughter.
It would not be unfair at all to say that the means and methods Zhang Yanling told us were despicable and shameless. However, the exquisiteness of their interconnection cannot but be breathtaking.
Finally, Zhang Yanling said: "Mr. Almeida, Helena. Starting tonight, the plan will officially start. After it starts, there can be no flaws. Although I actually don't think it is a wise thing for you to return to China.
But I respect your choice. If you decide to do this, then you must be careful and follow my instructions."
Almeida said solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Duke, I must go back. This matter must also be resolved. Even if I die, I will die in the Franco Kingdom. I, Almeida, cannot bear the name of treason, nor can I let it go.
If Prince William usurps the throne, I can't sit back and watch my family being slaughtered by them. However, the only thing I worry about is harming Helena. Otherwise, Helena should stay and don't go back with me to take risks."
Helena shook her head and said: "Since my father wants to go back, my daughter will follow you back to complete this matter. Although it is dangerous, my father has limited mobility, so many things must be done by me. I must go back and face this matter with my father. I
I believe that the Duke’s plan will definitely succeed. If it really fails... there’s nothing we can do about it. If my father, mother, and the entire family are dead, what’s the point of my life?”
Almeida nodded slightly. Zhang Yanling sighed and said nothing.
Helena looked at Zhang Yanling and said: "Duke, don't worry about me. I will definitely come back alive. After this incident, I will come back to you. From now on, I will follow you to the ends of the world, to the Ming Empire, and everywhere.
A place where I will never leave you again. If I die, just forget about me."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Since you are determined to do this, what else do I have to say. As long as you follow my plan, I believe it will be successful. Then, starting from tomorrow, you will not be able to live here. You have to live here until
Go to the church and live with the other prisoners."
Helena said in astonishment: "Why?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Don't you think it's strange in the eyes of others that you can still live here and move freely? After you live in the church, tell the other prisoners and Father Markle that they
, just say that I want to force you to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, so I deliberately treat you better. But you refuse
Absolutely, I will drive you to live in the church. You can even make me worse. For example, I covet your beauty, Helena, and want to force you to submit, so why should I be courteous to your father and daughter?
.In short, we must make them believe that there is a reason for the preferential treatment you have received these days, and dispel their doubts."
Helena suddenly realized. Zhang Yanling's plan from now on is to solve these problems from the beginning. Otherwise, the plan will fail from the beginning. These details are extremely important.
"After you go to the church, you tell Markle and the captives that I will kill them all and make them feel desperate. Only when these people are desperate and you save them and escape from here, will they respond to
You will be more grateful. You will also believe in what you say more."
"...By the way, your departure must also be a secret escape. Of course, I will arrange the time and days for you to leave smoothly. At the military port pier, one of your warships will be repaired soon, and it will be ready by then.
Stop at the cliffside pier on the west side of the military port. Al
After Lord Meda returns, he tells them that you will find a way to escape with them. After three days, I will give people a chance to allow you to escape smoothly. You can just go to the port and board the ship to escape. What happens after that,
You can only rely on yourselves."
Zhang Yanling frowned and said while thinking.
Helena's eyes filled with tears. She looked at Zhang Yanling and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Duke, you are so considerate for us. Helena is so lucky to meet the Duke. He is so considerate for me and my father.
.How can I repay this?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Maybe this is fate. I, a Ming man, believe in fate."
Almeida said in a deep voice: "Duke Zhang, since your Ming Empire wants to dominate the ocean, you should hope that I, the Folangji, will have internal strife so that you can benefit from it. You don't have any other purpose for helping me, right?
?”
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Can't Sir Almeida see my purpose? I love your daughter and I do this entirely because of her. Besides, what Sir Almeida said is too small.
.Our Ming Empire was not called
We have the heart to dominate the world. However, we do not allow others to dominate and harm the interests of our Ming Empire. In fact, we do not regard other countries in the world as enemies, unless they think that we are their enemies, then
we really
They will become their enemies, and they are the kind of enemies that will give them nightmares. My Ming Dynasty does not want war, but we are not afraid of war. Your country of Franji, hehe, let me tell you something you don’t like to hear, is just a small country.
If you can be with me, Daming
It's okay to get along with each other in a friendly manner. If you think you are invincible, you will definitely bring humiliation to yourself. The seaport of Malacca is just the beginning. After you go back to see your king, you'd better make it clear to him. Cooperation is the only option, confrontation
Then it will turn into ashes and disappear.”
Almeida stared at Zhang Yanling and said nothing for a long time.
Zhang Yanling stood up and said: "It's getting late, I should go back."
Helena said to Almeida: "Father, I will send the Duke off."
Almeida was noncommittal, holding the glass and drinking sips, thinking without answering.
Zhang Yanling stood up and left, and Helena followed Zhang Yanling. The two came to the yard and walked slowly along the path between the grass.
The stars in the sky are as bright as a river of stars. The cool night breeze makes the flowers and trees rustle.
Zhang Yanling reached out and held Helena's palm, and Helena held her palm behind her back. The two held hands and walked aimlessly side by side without speaking. After a long time, the two sat down by the stone steps of the fountain in the yard.
.
"Helena, early tomorrow morning, I will send you to the church to guard you. I will not be able to meet and talk to you then. Therefore, I have to tell you some things alone. It is actually very dangerous for you to return to the country this time, and it is very likely that
You will encounter unexpected events. You should know this very well. I don’t want you to go back and take risks.
But I don’t want you to leave regrets. Your family and your father are precious things that you cherish. If it were me, I would make the same choice as you. So, I will no longer advise you to look back. However,
There are a few things you must do as I say." Zhang Yanling looked sideways at Helena's beautiful face and said softly.
"Okay, tell me, I will definitely obey your orders." Helena leaned her head on Zhang Yanling's shoulder and whispered.
"First, you must plan your route back home so as not to be intercepted by Alfonso's fleet. When passing through the coasts of Ceylon and the Jialan Empire, stay away from the coast at night. Don't make any mistakes."
"I understand, don't worry."
"Second, the first thing when you return to China is not to act in a hurry, but to protect yourself and ensure safety first. Only when you are safe can you act. Be cautious in everything and don't trust anyone unless you make sure they are trustworthy.
"
"clear."
"Third, do whatever you want. If you feel that danger is coming, don't hesitate and flee immediately. Don't try to turn the tide, and don't be confused. If you die with your father, it will not do anything good. Stay alive.
, there is hope. No one will blame you, and you have fulfilled your responsibility, so there is no need to feel guilty or self-blame."
"Okay...I listen to you."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Actually, you know these things in your heart, I just can't help but want to remind you. I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy. Maybe it's because I am too worried."
Helena hugged Zhang Yanling's neck and cried softly, her tears wet Zhang Yanling's neck.
"I'm scared too, dear Duke, I'm really scared. But I have to go back. If I die, you must remember me. Don't forget me. Don't forget me. Okay?"
Zhang Yanling gently stroked her back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't forget you. You won't die either. We have a saying in the Ming Dynasty that disasters last for thousands of years. Do you understand what it means?"
Helena looked up at Zhang Yanling, suddenly reached out and hit Zhang Yanling on the shoulder, and said angrily: "You say I am a disaster? You are such a bastard."
Zhang Yanling smiled in her ear and said: "You are a scourge. The scourge makes me confused. What kind of person am I, Zhang Yanling, to worry so much about you? I have never done that before. What you owe me will have to be paid back in the future. Don't do it."
I want to default on my debt."
Helena made a coquettish voice and suddenly got into Zhang Yanling's arms, twisting her body continuously. The warm fragrant nephrite rubbed Zhang Yanling's face and chest, making Zhang Yanling's whole body feel hot and difficult to control.
"Dear Lord Duke, why don't I dedicate myself to you. If I die, I won't have any regrets." Helena said in a daze.
Zhang Yanling pushed her away and said in a deep voice: "Keep your life alive and dedicate it to me after you return safely. But that's not possible now. If you die, you will have not repaid what you owe me. You won't feel at ease even if you die."
Helena smiled, straightened her hair and left Zhang Yanling's arms. She smiled and said: "Even if you want it now, I won't give it to you. I'm not a casual woman. I don't want you to despise me. Besides, this kind of place
How can it be possible? It must be in a big, quiet and beautiful house, on a big bed covered with velvet."
Zhang Yanling laughed and thought: It turns out that girls also have fantasies about this kind of thing, just like fantasizing about a dream wedding.
"I also ask you to promise me something. Your Excellency, Duke." Helena suddenly said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yanling asked.
Helena said: "Can you help me take care of Catherine? She is really pitiful. I don't want her to be a nun. She said she wants to be a nun."
Zhang Yanling sighed and said: "You are really a kind person. At this time, you are still meddling in other people's affairs. Don't worry, I will take good care of her. Just based on her behavior today, I will treat her well."
I happen to need an interpreter by my side, so it would be good for her to be my interpreter."
Helena smiled happily and said: "That's great, then I'll be relieved. Your Excellency, you are such a good person."
Zhang Yanling, who had a good guy card on her back, smiled helplessly. The two of them sat in the night talking nonsense, and they hugged and kissed each other goodbye until late at night.
