The next day, the wind and snow decreased. This enables Chechen and ah Yuqi to move smoothly towards Werner.
During this period, they also met several groups of Swedish patrols. But the appearance of ah Yuqi and other Tatars dispelled the patrol''s doubts about them - they didn''t even stop to ask ah Yuqi and others.
On the second day, they completely entered the territory of the Republic of Poland. Here, they met Pedro and others who had been waiting here. Princess Louise Henriette wept with joy when she learned that her son Frederick had safely arrived in Werner and was waiting for her mother at the Marshal''s house.
When Pedro saw the unkempt Prince boguslav tied to the horse, Pedro happily walked over and jokingly saluted the Prince: "dear prince, if you have any needs, please tell me. Your request is the imperial edict to me."
With that, Pedro smiled to himself.
But soon, Pedro couldn''t laugh. Because Chechen told him that in order to repay ah Yuqi, he promised to pay him 50000 tales and find gun craftsmen for him.
Hearing this astronomical figure, Pedro was devastated. He covered his face with his hand and put it down for a long time.
"Can you make it cheaper?"
This is the first thing he said to Chechen after he knew the news.
Facing the money fan uncle, Chechen reluctantly shook his head.
Money is just a number for today''s Cherchen.
The news that Chechen saved Princess Yisi Henriette and captured Prince boguslav soon reached Werner.
At the Marshal''s house, marshal lubaomatsky was pleased to say to mikhau raziwiu, Colonel mikhau vorodyavsky, mayor Anjie kemitz, Colonel Jeri kharzki and others:
"Look, our hero is coming back soon! Look what great achievements he has made. If one day we recover miatelsk, everything should be attributed to his bravery and resourcefulness. Yes, it should be attributed to him; I would like to announce this publicly in front of the army for the first time. Everyone! You should thank aleval Chechen, because if it weren''t for him, we would I don''t know how many people will die when attacking Mia jersk! "
They didn''t know that Chechen had captured Prince bogusslav. When they heard the marshal say so, they looked at each other.
After a while, mihau raziwiu stood up.
"Marshal, why do you say that? Did he catch bogusslav alive?"
Marshal lubaumatsky laughed.
"Yes, yes. He just captured Prince bogusslav alive."
"Hooray! Hooray! Alvar Chechen!" dozens of voices cheered.
Everyone was very happy because it was really good news.
The general command, headed by lubomatsky, had drawn up a plan to attack miyagilsk after the ice and snow melted in the early spring of next year and pull out the last stronghold of Karl X in Lithuania and the largest traitor of the Republic.
At that time, according to the calculation of the general command, the Republic needed to pay a heavy price of at least three or four thousand people killed in the war and nearly ten thousand injured in order to completely eliminate boguslav and resist the rescue of braue vichinsburg, even under the favorable conditions of the field war. But now, Prince bogusslav is captured. As long as he is forced to write an imperial edict, the defenders of miatelsk will have to surrender.
"Hooray, hooray!"
Cheers continued to thunder in the Marshal''s house.
But just then, mihau raziweu suddenly fell to his knees.
"Marshal!" the imperial dining officer of the Republic burst into tears.
The crowd stopped cheering and looked at him puzzled.
Lubaumatsky was also puzzled. Mihau raziwiud looked high. He couldn''t let him kneel for a long time. LV baomatsky went up to help the imperial dining officer up.
But Mikhail raziwiu''s legs did not move.
"Oh, mihaw, if you have anything to say, why do you do such a big gift!" the marshal advised.
The imperial dining officer raised his head. He said with tears: "marshal, boguslav''s crime of betraying the country and seeking glory is unforgivable. For the sake of my dedication to the Republic, spare his life."
The royal food officer miha''u raziweu is brave and resolute, generous and generous, and devoted to his country. He is deeply respected by the soldiers. Moreover, when the whole of Lithuania fell into the hands of Czarist Russia and the kingdom of Sweden, yanush and boguslav betrayed their country for glory. He resisted alone in neshviye day, and he despised yanush''s persuasion, refused to surrender the enemy and put the country above the family. Its great contribution is unmatched in Lithuania except for sapega.
Therefore, of course, some people will listen to what he is saying now. What''s more, no one wants to offend such a powerful and famous official like him.
In short, as soon as his words were spoken, people came out to support him.
Of course, lubaomatsky also wanted to show kindness to the imperial dining officer. He said to him, "of course I can''t bear to break the orthodoxy of the razeviu family. Please rest assured that I will talk to the king. As for Chechen, it''s not difficult for me to persuade him to return the prince to you."
"I will not hesitate even if I am asked to lose my property," mihau raziweu vowed.
On the day when Cherchen arrived in Werner, lubaumatsky personally took all the generals to meet him at the gate of the city. Before Che Chen got out of the carriage, the imperial dining officer stepped forward and asked, "count aleval, where is my cousin? Have you killed him?"
"I didn''t kill him!" Chechen replied, "look, isn''t that him, on that horse!"
At the time of saying this, a Kalmyk had removed the fur from boguslav under the sign of Ayuki.
All the people recognized at a glance that it was boguslav who was tied to the horse.
However, his manner is far different from the past. How ruthless the change of fate is! He, boguslav, was once one of the most prominent dignitaries of the Republic; Even a few days ago, he still dreamed of a enfeoffed principality, dominating and monopolizing one side; He, as the prince of the Holy Roman Empire, now looked tired and tied up like a pig.
The imperial dining officer covered his eyes with his hands and couldn''t bear to witness such a tragedy, because after all, it was a rajivel family who was so humiliated! Such an insult to a noble prince! What a shame for the family!
The imperial dining officer blushed with shame. As he ran to bogusslav to untie the rope for him, he shouted, "everyone, this is my brother, a person connected with my blood. For the sake of the motherland, I have neither spared life nor money. I am loyal and loyal to people. Please testify that if anyone dares to humiliate him again today, it is against me."
As soon as the imperial dining officer said this, several more officers, as well as the aides of the raziweu family, began to shout loudly: "yes, we don''t allow pagans to insult noble blood!"
"Take him from the Tatars!"
Obviously, they also regard ah Yuqi and others as Tatars.
The situation of mihau raziveu startled Pedro. Seeing that boguslav was about to be robbed, he quickly stopped the imperial dining officer.
"Your Excellency, this is our prisoner," cried Pedro.
The Royal dining officer looked at Pedro. He took a deep breath, and then tried to say in a calm tone: "what do you want? If it''s a ransom, I''ll pay it! If you can''t, I can write an oath."
The imperial dining officer said, regardless of whether Cherchen and Pedro answered or not, he not only kept moving on his hands. Even asked someone to help: "Your Excellency team leader voinivovich, send your people over quickly. If there is no other way, you might as well take him back with violence!"
That detonated the powder keg. Pedro hated his nephew for being hurt by boguslav. Later, he saw that boguslav''s brother wanted to rob people. He shouted, "who dares!"
At this roar, yelishei and others pulled out their sabers one after another. Although ah Yuqi and others didn''t know where they were, they were on the same road with Che Chen. At this time, they also pulled out their knives one after another.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Marshal lubaumatsky was greeting Princess Louise Henriette and expressing sympathy for Cherchen''s injury. At this time, all three heard the change behind.
LV baomatsky stepped forward first and stopped and said, "everyone, please be quiet! Your royal highness, according to the old tradition, count aleval has the right to dispose of prisoners of war. Therefore, if anyone wants to recapture prisoners from him, he should guarantee him!"
Prince mihau restrained his anger, calmed down, turned to Chechen and said, "sorry, sir. I was too angry just now. Please say, sir, what do you want?"
"Money, of course!" cried Pedro. He is still in pain for the 50000 tales. Now he has a chance to get them back.
The imperial dining officer nodded.
"No problem. Boguslav will fulfill his oath to you when he is free. How much do you want?"
"100000 tales!" Pedro reported an astronomical figure.
Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. While ah Yuqi and kardan Zeling looked at Pedro and a word came to mind: "profiteer."
"Well, then let me make an oath here." the imperial dining officer said, "I swear by the honor of the most sacred virgin and knight I believe in. Today, I will pay the 100000 tales I promised to you instead of my brother. If there is a breach of contract, you can settle with me, or even ask to deprive me of my honor and family wealth. Everyone here is a witness."
"That''s enough for me!" said Pedro happily. "But I''ll do it according to the king''s words."
"Thank you, Lord Pedro!" replied the imperial dining officer, "don''t worry, he won''t be free immediately. I will give him to the marshal according to law. He will always be a prisoner until the ransom is paid."
"That''s it!" said the marshal.
Pedro got the promise. He was about to untie the imperial food officer. Suddenly, Cherchen shouted, "wait!"
Mihau raziwiu turned his head. He asked, "what''s the matter, Lord Chechen? Don''t you count your uncle''s words?"
But listen to Che Chen''s answer: "of course not, imperial dining officer. Of course my uncle can represent me. But I have another request."
"You say, I will do it all."
Che Chen shook his head.
"Not to you, but to boguslav."
The imperial dining officer glanced at his cousin. He asked Che Chen, "what do you want my cousin to promise you?"
"Your royal dining official, your cousin once swore in the most vicious language that once he gets out of trouble and gets free, he and the raziweu family will retaliate against me and my companions..."
"I see." the imperial dining officer nodded, "I can swear again here. On behalf of the raziweu family, I promise that the raziweu family will never do anything to hurt count Chechen you and your companions."
"I''m relieved," said Chechen.
In doing so, Chechen is also on guard against unburned. After all, the raziweu family is deeply rooted in the Republic. For example, under the Royal dining official in front of him, he is still an important Minister of the Republic. Although Che Chen is sure that bogusslav will be severely punished after being taken to Warsaw, if he and his companions in the mercenary regiment are retaliated by other members of the raziweu family, although he is not afraid, it is not worth the loss to add such an enemy to himself after all.
Then he signaled that boguslav could be handed over to his royal highness.
