I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Before dawn.

Philippa woke up in her bedroom.

I don't know why, ever since her husband Edward III left the city of London and headed south to the Channel ports.

From that moment on, she felt a sense of restlessness in her heart.

This unrest is not a crisis.

It's a desire that's stirring.

To put it simply, my mind is full of Xu Siling's shadow.

Philippa was an extremely conservative woman. She didn't think she would betray Edward, and she had never even thought about it.

When Edward was in London, the two did not sleep together, but they met often, and Philippa would continue to do things as a wife or queen.

But Edward's departure made Philippa feel as if her shackles were broken.

I tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Because the war was imminent, Xu Siling's wolf riders also came to England. As the commander of the soldiers, he could no longer live in the palace. She had not met Xu Siling for a long time.

Philippa had thought about leaving London and going to the soldiers' camp to meet Xu Siling.

But such behavior was too obviously purposeful, especially since her husband was watching her in the palace. It was inappropriate in any way.

"Do you want to meet Xu today?"

"Not impossible. By the way, I'd like to ask when he plans to lead his troops to the Strait Port. Once he sets a date, I'll see him off."

Philippa thought so and got up to change her clothes.

But as I walked, I felt it was a bit deliberate.

"My husband has just left for only two days, and I went straight to Xu. Isn't that a bad idea?"

“Why don’t I go to the manor to see Queen Isabella first, and then ‘by the way’ visit Xu after meeting Queen Isabella.”

“Well, that’s the right idea.”

He called the servant to arrange the carriage.

After packing up, Philippa left the palace in a carriage without even having breakfast.

Women in the Middle Ages always got up early.

For example, Queen Isabella had to get up and wash her face before dawn every day.

So Philippa was not worried that her visit to the manor would disturb Isabella's rest.

Philippa felt much happier when she thought about meeting Xu Siling today.

As for the war with France?

To be honest, Philippa has had little say since the Battle of Crécy.

Edward was reluctant to mention such official matters to her, and she was obedient and stopped asking about them.

Slowly leaving the city of London and heading towards the manor outside the city.

The sun is slightly bright.

She opened the curtains, looked at the morning light, and felt that today would be a good day.

Just as she was about to lower the curtains, she suddenly felt a noise on the ground and her eyes narrowed.

"what happened."

The family knights were experienced, and they knew by the sound of it that there were a large number of cavalrymen on board!

"Your Majesty, there are cavalrymen charging in this direction. It seems to be the direction of Knight Raya's camp."

Philippa had never expected Xu Siling to rebel, and wondered, "Is Xu practicing something? Why don't we go to the camp and take a look first?"

The knight was a little suspicious: "Queen, I think something is wrong. I suggest we retreat to London first."

Before Philippa could think about her reaction, the vibration of the ground became stronger and stronger.

It was obvious that the so-called cavalry was conducting a large-scale raid and transfer, which was not an ordinary exercise.

Even though Philippa realized it belatedly, she felt something was wrong.

"us."

However, before Philippa could make a decision, Xu Siling's wolf knights had already appeared in sight.

The cavalry were clearly divided into various teams and charged in an extremely orderly manner.

He was wearing fish-scale armor and a cloak with the Siling family emblem fluttering behind him, and his horse was also wearing armor.

Despite carrying such heavy armor, the horse's running speed was not restricted much.

The speed is so fast that it is outrageous.

The knight narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, "It's Knight Raya's troops! No, Queen, we have to move back to London City now! Knight Raya may have changed!"

The knight signaled the coachman to turn the carriage around.

But the wolf riders also noticed Philippa's carriage.

"There's a carriage over there, and there's a knight. What should I do?"

Potter narrowed his eyes. "Look at the flag. It's the palace carriage. If I'm not mistaken, the person sitting inside should be Queen Philippa."

Lu An, who was running on the side, asked excitedly: "Want to rob?"

"Luan, don't forget your mission. You are going to kidnap Queen Isabella."

After Ella had eliminated all the men in the family, all those who could lift a sword were transported to England.

As the number of people increased, many batches of soldiers were promoted.

Porter was even promoted to the same captain position as Luan, Anton and Terry.

"Leave it to my people. It's wrong not to eat the meat that's right in your mouth."

Potter motioned to the captain of the squad on one side and pointed his sword at Philippa's carriage.

The small team immediately understood and led their teammates to leave the main group.

Porter also made arrangements and followed in person.

If this happened to any other army, it would be chaos.

But in Xu Siling's troops, each team has the right to make their own judgment and actions.

This was impossible for other troops in the Middle Ages.

Therefore, Xu Siling's wolf riders are more adaptable when facing various situations.

Philippa and her group saw a small group of cavalry coming towards them.

They retreated in a hurry, trying to return to the city of London.

But the wolf riders' horses, dragging fully armed soldiers wearing armor, actually ran faster than the knights who were not wearing any armor.

Soon the team intercepted the carriage and prevented it from leaving.

Philippa didn't bring any guard knights on this trip, and the only force she could use was the knight in front of her.

There were only two servants and a groom holding a dagger accompanying him.

The knight broke out in a cold sweat, but still stood up, but the wolf riders had already surrounded them.

The soldiers in the city of London looked down on Xu Siling's wolf riders.

Mainly because of their identity as executioners.

But now that he was facing the wolf rider, the knight felt a little powerless.

"What are you going to do? This is the queen's carriage!"

The team leader looked at Potter who had followed and waited for him to speak.

Potter ignored the knight and shouted directly to the carriage.

"Queen Philippa, I would like you to come with us."

Philippa lifted the curtains again. She had seen Potter before. He was the soldier who followed Xu Siling closely when she first came to England. "What is Xu going to do? And..." Philippa looked into the distance. Xu Siling's wolf cavalry was basically heading towards Queen Isabella's manor. "Are you going to rebel against the king?"

"Rebellion?" Potter laughed. "Never."

"There's none?"

The knight interrupted angrily at this time: "If it's not rebellion, then what are you doing now!"

Potter frowned: "I'm talking to the Queen, what does it have to do with you?"

With a wave of his hand, the wolf knight drew his weapon and approached the knight.

Philippa exclaimed, “Stop it!”

Unfortunately, the wolf knights didn't listen to her at all.

The knight fought hard on his horse, but he was not even wearing full armor today. How could he resist when he was surrounded by several fully armored soldiers?
In particular, the Wolf Riders trained the most in coordinating flanking attacks, pursuing combined attacks and quick kills, in order to narrow the gap in individual strength.

To Philippa's horror, the knight was finally knocked to the ground by several consecutive blows.

The wolf rider dismounted without hesitation, took out his dagger and stabbed it into the knight's throat.

"What on earth do you want to do!"

"I'd like you to come with us."

"Did Xu ask you to do this? He clearly didn't rebel."

"Queen, you are wrong." Potter shook his head. "I said that we did not rebel. That is because we never swore allegiance. Since we did not swear allegiance, how can we talk about rebellion?"

Philippa was stunned.

In this way, Philippa was kidnapped, the remaining grooms were killed, and the servants were let go.

He didn't care at all that the servants brought back the news that the queen had been kidnapped.

Philippa felt uneasy. She was not a stupid woman, but she had been away from government affairs for too long and had not used her brain enough.

Seeing this scene, she more or less understood what Xu Siling was doing.

Pretend to be loyal and bide your time.

When Edward leads his troops out of London, it will be Xu Siling's best opportunity to take action.

But she didn't expect that she was so stupid that she ended up saying it right in someone else's mouth.

She looked very upset.

Philippa thought Potter would take her to the manor to meet her, but unexpectedly he did not. Instead, he bypassed the manor and went up a road.

"Aren't you going to attack the manor? Why are you going this way?"

Philippa knew that her identity was a good thing and that Potter would not do anything to her, so she mustered up the courage to ask.

"My mission is not in the manor. Naturally, our other brothers will be responsible for robbing the manor."

"Then where are we going now?"

"Logically, I shouldn't reveal so much to the Queen, but considering your relationship with Lady Siling, I think it should be okay." Porter explained with a smile, "We are going to head north. As for what we are going to do? You will know later. Now I will send you to Lady Siling first."

Philippa asked a few more questions, and Potter answered them incoherently.

Go back if you can, it’s not a big deal anyway.

But Potter kept silent about the secret of the design plan.

Amid Philippa's worry, Team Porter reunited with the troops and found Xu Siling.

But the main force did not stop. Although Xu Siling was surprised by Philippa's appearance, his plan was in progress and it would be wrong to let the main force stop to talk.

They kept running until they reached the first destination in their plan and then stopped to rest.

Philippa was brought before Xu Siling.

Xu Siling was drinking a bowl of water when she saw Philippa with a strange expression on her face and was being forced over by several soldiers.

"What are you doing? The queen is a gentle French woman, she won't run away."

Upon hearing this, the wolf knights dispersed a few steps and no longer put pressure on Philippa.

The first thing Philippa said when she stepped forward was a question.

"Xu, I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical. Are you worthy of the king's trust?"

"Oh no, Queen, my cousin is the one who loves to betray other people's trust, such as yours. Aren't you used to it?"

Philippa was furious. She felt that she had trusted the wrong person: "This is different! This is my own business, but how could you do this? You are so stupid!"

"I'm stupid?" Xu Siling was surprised.

"England and France are already at war. In France, you are already a traitor. The king has even spread the news that you want to deny the identity of Saint Raya. You can't survive in France at all!"

"I know that if this matter had not been in progress, my cousin would not have left me in London without any worries." Xu Siling responded with a smile, "He has not gone south to the Channel port because he is afraid that I might rebel. But when he announced that I would reject the Saint's identity, he thought that I had no way out and naturally left without any worries."

"Then why are you doing this!"

"But who told you that I have committed treason?"

"What do you mean?"

Xu Siling held the bowl and walked slowly to Queen Philippa, looking up and down at the charming woman in front of her.

Philippa was several years older than he.

You can see that both her figure and face show signs of aging.

But it does not hinder the mature feminine charm she brings.

Especially since Xu Siling had been in England for so long and had spent so much time with Philippa, it was difficult for either of them to harbor any resentment towards each other.

Even Philippa tried hard to muster up some disgust for Xu Siling, but no matter how hard she tried, she found it difficult to do so.

"It seems we rushed too fast. Look at how pale the queen's face is."

Xu Siling handed the bowl she had drunk from to Philippa.

Philippa turned her head away: "I don't want to drink!"

"You want to know what I'm going to do? Drink it and I'll tell you." Xu Siling then added, "Of course, you can choose not to drink it. I'm too lazy to tell you anyway."

"you!"

Xu Siling knew Philippa too well, or rather, he knew too well how to handle women like Philippa.

One who can tolerate her husband's promiscuity in the palace, endure humiliation from her mother-in-law, and endure disrespect from her children.

This type of woman always accepts everything that comes her way.

Be nice to her and she will bear it.

But if you want her to be obedient, the best way is to put pressure on her and let her choose.

Just as Xu Siling had expected, Philippa hesitated for a long time before taking the bowl.

She felt that she also needed to calm down and drank some water.

"You can say it now."

"of course."

Xu Siling took Philippa to a big rock by the roadside and sat down.

"It's simple. I didn't commit treason, and I didn't betray my saint. This trip to England was all my plan."

Philippa's face was full of disbelief. "You said you were trying to discredit yourself in order to gain our trust and then come to England?"

"It's not a smear campaign. My reputation in France is not particularly good to begin with. It's just that the Saint is part of the plan. You know, her identity means that no one dares to believe what she says. Since the people of France believe that I have betrayed, what about you English people?"

Philippa thought of something and trembled: "So, you joined forces with Saint Raya just for this? No, your approach will not be recognized by the French nobles, especially since your unfriendship with the royal family must be true, compared to your threat to the French Crown Prince in the territory."

Xu Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stopped calling her the queen: "Philippa, you are the first person I took the initiative to explain this to."

"What's the meaning."

"I have no enmity with John, the King of France. The so-called blackmail against the Crown Prince Charles is even more ridiculous. I am Charles's teacher. Why should I blackmail him? He just follows me to learn swordsmanship. John and I are brothers, and his wife and I are also friends. Therefore, the rumors that I have an enmity with the Valois family are false."

Philippa's expression is extremely interesting (end of this chapter)
