C311 Pierre on the Road (1/2)
The process of Pierre being thrown into the prison of Ivborg was so simple that it was hard to tell, there was no trial or even a scene in court, it was only a verbal order from the high officials of the empire that he was escorted to the island by heavily armed soldiers.
Pierre had been in custody for nearly a month, and for the first three days he had been dragging the iron gate and shouting at the warden that he had been wrongly accused, but three days later, after his period of anger had passed, the rational Pierre had done an intelligence analysis for himself.
's betrayal could only prove that those shameless officials were determined to make him bear the blame. The intelligence officer knew very well what kind of temper Napoleon had, no one dared to face the emperor's anger, so for the sake of their own lives and position, Pierre would not care.
Pierre, who had thought everything through, calmed down. He knew very well that being held in the prison at Eiffborg was not the end, and that one day he would be thrown out of the cell and tied to the gallows.
The emperor and the other high-ranking officials needed a 'useless trash' to divert the attention of the people. Now, it seemed that he was a very good candidate.
Now that there was not much time left, Pierre began to think back to more than thirty years of his life, thinking that he had nothing to show off to God. Although he was a little bit of a prodigy but his career had not progressed by even a little bit. Although he had experienced countless women, his true love could be counted on.
After thinking about it, only Fang Guan's figure had been lingering in his mind. Humans! Only when he had a premonition of his own death would he know what he really wanted in his heart.
”Fuck the Emperor, fuck the France, fuck their gold medal intelligence officer, all I want is Fang Guan! If I still have the chance, I will leave this damn country and travel to the distant east, I want to pursue the love that I truly want!”
Countless times Pierre sat on his bed and looked out through the iron window at the world outside, muttering these words over and over, but he also knew very well that this so-called escape was nothing more than an extravagant hope.
Perhaps in the next second, the iron gate would be pushed open and a group of vicious soldiers would rush out and hang them. But today, a terrifying knocking sound finally came from the door. This was not the time for food delivery, and at this time, no one had any luck.
”Pitiful fellow, you're actually crying. There's a chance in front of you right now. As long as you grasp it, you will naturally be able to leave this hell …”
A cold voice, emotionless but seductive, came from behind the iron gate, and Pierre stood up, but just as he was about to agree, a thought flashed through his mind and he fell silent.
”Your eyes are unfamiliar to me, but I remember your voice …” If my guess is not wrong, ten years ago, I heard your voice before. You are Xie Lifu's subordinate, Ge Lasi! ”
”Huh?” A low exclamation came from outside the door, ”Amazing, indeed amazing. I've seen people who can't forget, but I've never seen anyone who can't. No wonder people say that you're a genius …” That's right, ten years ago when you were drinking with my boss, Lieutenant Xie Lifu, I once gave you money as a gift … ”
Pierre sneered and said, ”Then there is nothing wrong with it. That night, I spent the last silver coin on the stripper, so we were no longer able to pay for the wine. You were the one who ended up helping us when we bumped into each other …” At that time, I was dozing off while leaning on the counter, while you and Xie Lifu were talking about work behind me. ”
After a moment of silence, Ge Lasi continued, ”Since you already know my identity, I don't need to beat around the bush anymore …”
”Wine!” Do you have any wine? ”Before we get down to business, give me some wine, otherwise I won't talk about anything else …” Pierre interrupted him.
The iron window's railings weren't really tight, so it shouldn't be a problem to stuff a bottle of red wine inside, but Ge Lasi happened to bring a bottle with him. Pierre took the glass of wine and without a word raised his head and took a big gulp.
”Oh, God, how wonderful... You don't have to say anymore, I can probably guess your motive for coming here. Other than this brain, I don't have anything valuable. Did he send a telegram for you to come to me? ”
”Smart. Talking to smart people is fun … ”Prison guard, open the door …” The sound of keys clanging could be heard outside the door, followed by the opening of the iron gate. Two bright mining lamps lit up the entire dungeon.
The rolls of newspapers, as well as the documents that were laid out on the table, made Ge Lasi even have the guards leave. These information were all top secret, little guards did not have the qualifications to look at them.
”Analyze it, I need your answer. There are still three bottles of red wine here. Wait until I finish drinking the red wine, then I'll get the results …” If you are successful, Sir Xie Lifu will help you get rid of your crimes. ”
”Hehe, purge the crime? I'm afraid I'll be washed from gray to black again! ” Although Pierre's mouth was filled with mockery, his hands and eyes did not stop. He quickly looked through the information in the newspaper and his face became more and more serious.
As time passed by, bottle after bottle of red wine was drunk. When the fourth bottle of red wine was opened, Pierre let out a long sigh, ”We lost, France completely lost, the Emperor was already tied up, the enemies in the dark were very, very tight, you guys have already missed the best time to react …”
