Chapter 1807 Murder in Paris

In Paris, France, the guard of honor of the royal family of Bourbon specially greeted the envoys from China and England outside the city.

Chu Yun's eldest son, Prince of Wales, and Prince Rupert visited France, the largest country in Europe, but this country was shocked. Archbishop Mazarin in red and Prince Condé personally went out of the city to greet him, which shows how much he attaches importance to it.

A small group of Model T cars appeared outside the city of Paris, with the flags of China and England planted on the front of the Model T cars.Behind the convoy, there is also a convoy consisting of dozens of cavalry.

Now that European countries have begun to import tin cars, the royal family no longer uses horse-drawn carriages to travel. On the contrary, using tin cars to travel is a manifestation of financial resources, and it is faster and safer.

The minister of the French royal family saw that the Englishmen also appeared in the envoys, and turned his head to his companions and said: "The Englishmen have been completely reduced to the servants of the Chinese. They are obviously the envoys of the Chinese, so they have to send someone to show their loyalty."

Archbishop Mazaran in red said quietly: "What followers, the three leaders of this envoy are basically relatives."

What he said is not wrong, Chu Lingyun is the elder brother of the Prince of Wales, and Prince Rupert is the nephew of Queen Sophia, although the relationship with Chu Lingyun is far away, it is still somewhat related.

This time, the three of them jointly went to France. In addition to inviting France to participate in the second World Expo, they obviously had a warning meaning to let France obediently maintain "free trade" and not think about causing trouble in Europe.

Five Model T cars stopped in front of the French honor guard and the occupants got out.

Prince Kong Dai whispered to the archbishop in red: "That person is Chu Lingyun."

Archbishop Mazaran in red went up to greet Chu Lingyun, the head of the envoy. Both sides complimented each other warmly on the surface, and then Mazaran invited the envoy to Paris.

Prince Condé looked at the envoys, and asked his old rival, Prince Rupert, "Did Sun Chuanting, who is stationed in England, come?"

In the eyes of Europeans, Sun Chuanting is a terrifying existence. He was active in a series of battles against Barbary pirates, expeditions to Egypt, English Civil War, expeditions to Constantinople, and expeditions to Paris.

In particular, he led the army to capture Paris, which is still deeply remembered by the people of the Kingdom of France.

Prince Kong Dai was defeated by Sun Chuanting, and he was a little surprised that Sun Chuanting did not appear in the envoy.

"Mr. Sun is in his [-]s this year. Years of battles have left a lot of trauma. He has retired and returned to his hometown to enjoy family happiness." Prince Rupert answered Prince Kong Dai's words, paying attention to his teacher-like Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting has served as the commander of the Far West Expeditionary Army for 20 years. He has made countless contributions and has long been a general of the Kyushu Army.

However, one day the hero will be twilight. Sun Chuanting resigned from his position as the commander of the Far West Dispatch Army, returned to the mainland to hang up his idle job, and lived a semi-retired life.

Now there is a newcomer serving as the commander of the Far West Dispatch Army, that is the second generation of officers who have been trained.

"I didn't expect Sun Chuanting, known as the 'Oriental Wizard', to leave Europe like this. I don't know if we can meet again one day." Prince Kong Dai felt a little regretful about the departure of this feared enemy.

"If you go to participate in the second World Expo they hold, maybe you can meet him in the eastern capital." Prince Rupert said.

"This World Expo...I can hardly imagine what new technology they will come up with. Rupert, will you go to the eastern capital to participate in the second World Expo this time?"

"I didn't go to participate the first time, but I should go the second time."

Prince Rupert answered Prince Condé's question and returned to his car.

The convoy of France and the envoys entered the city under the protection of cavalry, attracting many Parisians to watch.

"This is Paris, the largest city in continental Europe."

Chu Lingyun looked at the classicist and baroque buildings outside. Of course, this place cannot be compared with the capital, especially the capital that has begun to modernize, but it also has its own characteristics.

If it weren't for the expansion of the capital's culture, maybe Paris would become the cultural center of Europe.

In the city of Paris, there is a small house with more than a dozen citizens inside. Several all-metal spring wheel pistols, crossbows, and daggers are placed on the wooden table.

"The eldest son of the big man in the east is about to enter the city. If we can successfully assassinate him, then we can avenge the fall of Paris."

"The king and the archbishop advanced money to the financiers for the Spanish war and compensation for the war indemnity of the Chinese people, and allowed them to collect taxes and collect the country's income in exchange. The provinces were plundered and the people were exhausted!"

"We France has fallen behind. All this is due to the fault of the king and the archbishop. The king even abandoned Paris in the previous battle! We successfully assassinated the envoys from the east. Archbishop, let us France be reborn!"

"If this assassination is unsuccessful, we will all die. For the sake of Paris, everyone must be prepared to be executed."

More than a dozen people encouraged each other and prepared for the worst. Everyone was so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

Their assassination this time is extremely dangerous. It is an extremely dangerous operation to assassinate the embassy in full view of the citizens of Paris.

"Let's go." A dozen people picked up the wheel pistols, crossbows and daggers on the wooden table.

Before Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert led an expeditionary force to capture Paris, they had forged bridges with many Parisian rebels.

This time, for various purposes, an assassination operation is undercurrent.

The streets of Paris are very crowded, and the crowd of onlookers just provided cover.

Chu Lingyun didn't realize that an operation was going on against him.

When the convoy was passing through a section of the street, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the crowd. They held wheel guns and crossbows and shot at the Model T. With the sound, a big hole appeared in the body of the car!

The crowd of onlookers was in chaos, and there were panicked people everywhere!

"Protect the prince! Protect the ambassador!"

The cavalry who followed the convoy quickly took out their muskets or drew out their sabers, stood guard next to the Model T, and drove out the civilians who tried to get close to the car!

The red-clothed Archbishop Mazaran recovered after panicking, his face turned pale.

He never thought that there would be such an assassination. If the envoys from China, especially Chu Yun's son, had an accident, the other party might take advantage of the problem and capture Paris again. It would not be an unequal treaty!
