Catherine walked into Chechen''s camp. His hand clenched his hat tightly, revealing his inner tension.
As soon as she saw Cherchen, Catherine grabbed Cherchen''s arms and said, "Cherchen, I have something to ask you."
Chechen knew that what Catherine wanted to ask must be about Helena, so he nodded and said:
"I know what you''re asking.".
"How is she?" said Catherine.
"After Smolensk surrendered, Helena and his father became prisoners, and they were escorted to Moscow. Helena suffered a lot in Moscow," Cherchen said.
Catherine burst into tears when she heard that her beloved had not only been captured by the Russians, but also been escorted to Moscow.
"I''m going to save her, I''m going to save her," muttered Catherine. But he also knew that it was a dream to save a man from Moscow thousands of miles away only by his own strength.
At this time, a sentence from Chechen made Catherine seem to enter the infinite light from the night.
"We have saved her. If there is no accident, you can meet soon."
Che Chen said.
Catherine held Chechen''s hand in tears. He couldn''t believe it and asked, "Chechen, Chechen. My dear benefactor and friend. Is what you said true? Please don''t deceive a person who has lost the hope of survival. For for him, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"How could we lie to you? Your Helena and his father are on their way to Polotsk now. They are accompanied by the mayor of Polotsk, Anjie kemitz," interposed Pedro.
"Did the respectable Anjie kemidz save Helena?" seeing that Pedro said the same, Catherine no longer doubted. He is now full of joy to see Helena.
"Yes or no. you don''t know that when Yakov cherkaski attacked Polotsk, Anjie kemitz was seriously injured and couldn''t command the battle. In the end, we defeated Yakov cherkaski''s 5000 army with my nephew Chechen''s bravery and my intelligence. We also captured thousands of prisoners. We redeemed your liver with these prisoners "Yes," said Pedro, not ashamed to take a lot of credit to himself.
Catherine took Pedro''s words seriously. He shook Pedro''s hands excitedly and said gratefully, "Christ is on earth. From now on, if one day I forget the great kindness of you and your nephew, it will make me die."
Pedro was a little embarrassed by the words of gratitude.
"Catherine, if you really want to be grateful, I think you should be most grateful not for me and my uncle, but for the wife of Anjie kemitz, miss OLINA bilevich. It was she who advocated exchanging those captives for the fiordo father and daughter. And I only made a small contribution." Cherchen felt that if Catherine wanted to be grateful, We should be most grateful to orina bilevich. Although the purpose of miss OLINA''s exchange for Helena is to prevent Anjie from falling into Yakov''s trick, her behavior actually benefits Catherine. As for his uncle''s greedy work, since Pedro''s words have been exported, Chechen can''t dismantle his uncle''s platform in front of outsiders, so he had to count all his credit on his uncle.
"I''ll appreciate your kindness. Will the patroness come to Polotsk, too? I want to thank her face to face," said Catherine happily, and his joy was beyond words.
"Orina didn''t come. She stayed in Polotsk''s position as agent for Anjie."
"What a pity," said Catherine, disappointed.
"Oh, that''s right. Catherine, how did you play for boguslav in miatelsk?"
It is really strange that Catherine did not return to her motherland after fleeing Smolensk, but stayed and worked for Prince bogusslav.
"Maybe this is God''s arrangement. If I don''t stay, maybe I won''t have a chance to see Helena again in my life." Catherine attributed her stay to God''s will.
It turned out that after fleeing Smolensk, Catherine and nahan parted hands. With the familiarity with the terrain and rising day and night. Catherine escaped the Cossack''s siege smoothly and stole a horse from them. Katherine drank well water when she was thirsty all the way, stole the farmer''s potatoes when she was hungry, and finally let him get to miyagilsk. Here, Catherine had planned to sell her horses and collect the money for a ticket to return to her motherland by boat. But it also happened that on the day he arrived at the jetty in Damia, a ship from England docked at the jetty. Dressed in Scottish mercenaries, they were persecuted by the traitor Cromwell in England and had to flee here. From the mouth of the mercenaries, Catherine learned that Cromwell not only dispersed the parliament, but also called himself the protector. The persecution of the former royalists is also more and more serious day by day.
As a result, it was impossible for Catherine, who was born in the royalist family, to return home.
When Catherine was at a loss, the head of the group of mercenaries invited Catherine to join her mercenary regiment and work for Prince bogusslav. He also said that Prince bogusslav would soon send troops to support Smolensk.
It was Catherine''s dream to join the army, fight back to Smolensk and save her beloved Helena. Since there was no hope of returning home, Catherine agreed without hesitation.
Even more coincidentally, Catherine was favored by an old nobleman in the court of boguslav. The old nobleman had no children, so he accepted Catherine as his adopted son and became the servant of Prince bogusslav with the recommendation of the old nobleman.
"Then we waited so long in Smolensk, why didn''t we see any reinforcements?" Pedro was a little strange. Since the two princes of razeviu had sent troops to rescue Smolensk, Prince yanush was defeated, but why didn''t boguslav arrive.
"I''m not very clear about that. The first time he sent troops, his royal highness retreated when he heard that the great prince was defeated; the second time, the Czarist Russian army appeared near miatelsk, and the prince had to deploy miatelsk''s defense," said Catherine.
"But it''s not like fighting here. I don''t think that Prince bogusslav still has leisure to go out with his friends?" Pedro was very upset at the thought of bogusslav''s face to his nephew at the dock today.
"His Royal Highness has tens of thousands of troops. The Czar Russia''s troops are not so much to attack miatelsk as to organize the prince to rescue Werner. Of course, he won''t pay attention to the prince. Sightseeing shows his Royal Highness''s contempt for the enemy." Catherine explained bogusslav''s behavior.
But Chechen felt that these behaviors of boguslav were somewhat unreasonable.
