"This is the most famous parade ground in New Orleans. In 1719, the earliest pioneers of the French settled here with my ancestors. The first cornerstone laid is here. This is the holy place of the French faith, so Earlier, it was called the Place of Worship. It was not renamed the Parade Ground until you Spaniards came."

　　 On the bustling military parade, Carmen led Noya and Wang standing among the flocks of pigeons, and accompanied an Indian guide to tour the scenery of New Orleans.

　　The tourism industry is a new thing in the world, and it is far from forming a mature industry. Naturally, it is impossible to have a real professional "guide", but the shopping guide for sales has never been absent from the history of mankind.

　　 That's why I have this tour in front of me.

　　 Early in the morning, Carmen took Noya and Wang to seven antique shops. As an aristocratic lady who loved colonial culture and had too much money to burn, he successfully got a special treat from the owner of the antique shop.

　　 This Indian named Chakuku Chili is the slave of the owner of the antique shop. He is very eloquent, and he is treasured of all the history and secrets since the opening of New Orleans.

　　 The boss entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, asking him to fully stimulate the curiosity of the ladies and the pride of the Spanish, and to support Carmen's money bag, so that she can buy as many old New Orleans collections as possible in the store.

　　 Of course, Carmen won’t disappoint Mr. Chakuku, and interrupted as soon as he finished speaking: “Mr. Kiri, is the wooden cross in your store the first one placed in the church?”

　　 "No, no, noble lady. It is not the earliest cross, but it is definitely the most meaningful one. Have you heard of the parade ground scam in 1968?"

　　 "The time when my compatriot punished the French fanatic?"

"That's it! That night when the blood was stained with Mississippi, the coup leader Gudariel escaped into the church for a time under the protection of the French who were attending the banquet." Chakuku sighed pretentiously. "At that time He was badly wounded and covered in blood. It was heard that when the Spanish asked the priest to open the door of the church, he had died holding the cross in his arms. The blood on his body was soaked in the wood texture, and he couldn't wash it well."

"The governor felt that the cross stained with the blood of a madman was a blasphemy and insult to God, so he ordered people to replace it with a brand new cross, and the replaced one was bought by the owner at a high price and became the treasure of our shop. "

　　 "It's an exciting story..." Carmen sighed, "Mr. Kiri, how much does your town store's treasure cost?"

　　 Chakuku's expression froze.

　　 As far as he knows, his master bought the cross at a price of fifty pounds. It is reasonable to say that after so many years, and burdened with this heavy and tragic history, the price of the cross should have risen sharply.

　　 But no one in the white is willing to buy a blood-stained wooden cross, this thing has actually been smashed in his hands long ago, and it is almost decayed.

　　 Is this inventory thrown away at a very low price when Carmen is impulsive? Or is it to satisfy her illusion about the treasure of the town shop and to blame her at a high price?

　　After thinking about it, Chakuku decided to go.

　　 "Madam, that cross carries too many things, and the owner bought it for a hundred pounds. More than ten years have passed..."

　　 "Twenty pounds."

　　 "The deal! The cross is yours," Chakuku said quickly.

Carmen covered his mouth and snickered: "By the way, I haven't introduced you to my companion, Noya and Ya. Noya is my sister. She is hopelessly in love with this gentleman from the Qing Dynasty. , Has made preparations to hold the wedding under the witness of God."

"That's great!" Chakuku happily expressed his blessings to Wang Ye and Noah. "Miss Noah, your vision is unique. The yellow-skinned man is naturally gentler than every white-skinned man, and he is informed and interesting. The important thing is that you also found a handsome gentleman from the mysterious East, even the secular cannot condemn you for this."

　　 "Thanks...Thank you...Thank you!" Noah was so shy that she flushed all over, wishing to find a pit and get in.

　　 At this time, Wang also stood up suddenly, blocking Chakuku and Noya without a trace.

"Mr. Qili, you are wrong. The gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty are often regarded as heretics by the stubborn white people because of their beliefs. Amitabha, Immeasurable Tianzun, they are used to treat the Qing people as infidels. Set up barriers between love."

　　 "Then what should you do?"

"Love can't be obscured by despicable!" Wang also raised his arms. "We have a saying in the East, called expediency. Did you know? I have successfully lied to Noya's parents and convinced them that I am a **** believer. The Indian is still a young chief of a powerful tribe."

"what?"

"Little Chief! I'm going to meet Noah's parents in three days, but I don't know anything about Indians. Mr. Killey, are you willing to help me? Look, I can persuade Ms. Carmen to pay more for the cross. The right price."

　　 Qili looked at the oriental gentleman of the same skin color in front of him blankly, and vaguely felt that perhaps pretending to be an Indian was the main purpose of these three people's publicity in the antique shop.

　　 "This...I don't care, but is it really okay for you to deceive the female parent in this way?"

"No problem, no problem! Daqing is separated from the New World by many oceans. As long as I visit the church and get married, she will be my Daqing's wife. It's impossible to see my mother's family again. So, don't worry!"

"rest assured?"

"rest assured!"

　　 Chakuku worshiped and admired, it turns out that love... is really a crazy thing.

　　……

　　 Time goes by, three days in a row.

　　 At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is murderous and arson.

Today is the day when the big plan begins. Lorraine sits boredly on a tall oak tree like the previous few days, with his legs crossed, his head supported, his eyes half-squinted, and he is looking through the prosperous branches and leaves. A peaceful French barracks not far away.

　　 This is the Baton Rouge Legion, but as the sky darkens into the night, there is no longer a snake-like crowd outside the camp. The night is silent, and the birds and beasts are arguing.

　　 Lorraine was already quite familiar with such a scene.

　　Because the Earl established a ranking system similar to that of later hospitals and banks for the smugglers who applied for the job, every merchant who was willing to apply for the job will receive a number plate to determine the order in which they line up.

Only in the event of missing or overdue numbers, the subsequent businessmen will have the possibility to make up for the number, and the overdue businessmen will postpone the number with the number, and will not waste the previous days of boring waiting because of a momentary error. .

　　 Queuing is useless, not arranging and not working. Under the strength of the earl, everyone can strictly guard the legion’s closing time, opening and closing, and closing.

　　 The long line determines that the earl will never lack manpower.

　　 The battle on the front line is not tense. According to Lorraine’s observations, only about 500 people will be recruited every day to supplement battle damage, which is roughly equivalent to the manpower provided by ten smugglers. Apart from these lucky ones, all others can do is patience.

　　 In addition, Lorraine also determined one of the most important things, that is the count's work and rest.

　　 Every gentleman will try his best to create a stable work and rest for himself, in order to ensure the good looks of the next day, Earl is no exception.

　　If Lorraine’s pocket watch did not move the needle excessively, the time for the Earl to leave the camp tonight is not far away...

　　 Thinking of this, Lorraine sighed, and lowered his body again, almost completely lying on the branch ~lightnovelpub.net~ like a tree lizard wrapped in black skin, completely blending into the night, and it was hard to see at a glance.

　　 There was a rustling noise behind him.

　　 Lorraine followed the voice and looked back, seeing Henna in a black coat descending into the wind, landing firmly on the tree behind him.

　　The lightness of the action and the indifferent expression make people really feel handsome.

　　 He glanced at his feet depressedly: "Isn't this the tallest tree nearby..."

"Yes."

　　 "Then how did you get down from above every time? Could Assassin still fly?"

　　 "I didn't learn it." In this way, Hina acquiesced to the existence of Assassin's Flying Heaven, and then shook her hand, withdrew the sling from the branch, carefully retracted her pocket, "Earl is out."

"now?"

　　 "I made some movement. He is looking for illegal intruders in the barracks. If I guess right, he will stay there for at most 20 minutes. After that, he will give up searching and leave the barracks."

　　 "Riding in the carriage like the other day?"

"the same."

　　 "If this is the case, we will do things separately."

　　 After finishing this sentence, Lorraine turned over and jumped off the branches, tapped his feet repeatedly on the horizontal branches, and landed on the ground in just a few breaths, and ran away along the straight road outside the barracks.

　　 ran for nearly two kilometers, he stopped, and joined the sailors and sailors who had been ambushing in the woods.

　　 Karen greeted him from the forest, and suppressed his voice nervously: "Captain, the meat ticket is here?"

　　 Lorraine adjusted her breathing lightly: "Henna will hang a bunch of acorns outside the car in a while, that thing is very conspicuous in the night. So rest assured, you will definitely not miss it."
