Since Christmas Eve, it has been snowing slowly in Austria, and it didn't warm up in most areas until after the New Year.

On the western border of the empire, because it is at the foot of the Alps, it still snows from time to time. The same is true of Feldkirch, a small town on the border between Austria and Switzerland.

The snow-capped Alps hover in front of this town like a giant dragon. The thick mountains give the town a sense of tranquility and stability. This small town at the foot of the Alps welcomed the arrival of 1827 with an eternal calm.

During the long snowy night, several ordinary carriages without any signs came to the edge of this quiet town.

The carriage stopped quietly outside a country hut. After confirming that there were no watchers around, all the people inside came out and sneaked in sneakily.

The fireplace was lit quickly, and the group of people leaned against the fireplace to keep warm, finally waking themselves up from the biting chill.

There is no doubt that Aigron is among them-of course, he has already changed the ripped skirt and put on a set of ordinary clothes.

In order to avoid possible tracking and escape before the entire Austrian border was under martial law, Aigron has been rushing to the Swiss border non-stop since meeting with Louis, Chanel and the others. After several days of turbulence, they finally arrived In this small town, he was exhausted at the moment.

After roasting for a while, his stiff body finally regained a lot of energy, and then he looked at the people around him. The men were all okay, but Chanel's face was as pale as white paper at the moment, and there was not much blood visible. .

Chanel has been serving people since she was a child and has a strong body, but she is about to reach her limit at this time, and Aigron feels distressed when she sees it.

If Teresa was here, she would definitely not be able to bear it... A strange thought suddenly flashed in the young man's mind.

Forget it... Now that we are here, what else is there to think about? He dismissed the thought at once.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we need to rest here for one night." His cousin Louis, who also recovered his energy at this time, said in a low voice, "We can't sneak into Switzerland in front of the guards, we can only sneak into Switzerland through secrets." The route, walking through the narrow trails in the mountains, means that we have to abandon the carriage and escape, and it also means that we need to wait for a good day."

"Is the route safe?" Aigron asked.

"It's very safe. That's the route that the smugglers secretly discovered. We came to Austria through this route." A young man next to Louis replied. "Your Majesty, this is the last section of the road. As long as we cross it, we will pass through the Alps, escape from this country, and come to Bregenz in Switzerland. It will be much easier then."

He looked a bit like both Louie and Aigron in features, but more so than their faces were their eyes—the kind of ambitious, defiant eyes eager to put the world under their feet.

He is the younger brother of the former Dutch King Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte, Charles-Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, another cousin of Aigron.

In the eyes of most people, this young man is just a kid about his own age, and they won't take it seriously, but Aigron won't—because he knows that his cousin was in the original On the historical line, after decades of struggle, the long-cherished wish of the Bonaparte family to return to the throne was truly realized.

He first took advantage of the east wind of the 1848 revolution to become the president of the Second French Republic through election, and then eliminated the opposition step by step, and officially became the emperor of the Second French Empire in 1852.

And after that, he sat on the throne for 18 years,

Including the 4 years as president, the total rule is 22 years, which is longer than both Louis XVI and Napoleon himself. In that turbulent era, it is definitely close to a miracle to be able to achieve this, and it is definitely not a fluke. of.

Of course, in this world line, he is now definitely his subject.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, right now he can only face himself respectfully.

[The names of these two brothers are so similar, and I did not find out how they are different from each other after checking the information, so... I decided on my own. The elder brother is called Louis, and the younger brother (Na San in the original history) is called Charlie, because There are protagonists, and they all consciously don't use the 'Napoleon' self-proclaimed title.

As for why it is not called Shire...I always feel that it is weird to call the third person Shire, the author is a bit out of play...]

"In this case, let's rest for one night first." Aigron made a decision, and then looked at the brothers. "However, after dawn tomorrow, no matter what the weather is, we have to leave, we can't delay!"

The two brothers looked at each other, and Louis nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty, may God bless us with good weather tomorrow."

Traveling through the Alps in bad weather is really not a good idea, but right now there is no other better way than to bite the bullet and try.

They are racing against time.

After escaping from Vienna, according to the plan, someone was in charge of spreading suspicion and ran directly to the southern Italian border. Although he didn't dare to hope that he could completely deceive the Austrians, he could at least serve as a distraction.

They had to take advantage of this gap to escape, and no matter what happened, nothing could stop him.

Aigron didn't talk to them too much, he knew it was not a good time to chat.

After roasting for a while, he stood up straight away.

"Okay, let's rest early and leave as soon as the sun clears tomorrow."

After he got up and left, Chanel also stood up immediately, wanting to serve Aigron to sleep as usual.

"Your Majesty..." Louis walked to Aigron's side and whispered to him, "Now is the critical moment, you'd better save your energy..."

Wait, do you think I can't help being in heat at a time like this?

Aegron couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

"I'll pay attention, Louie." Instead of getting angry, he patted his cousin on the shoulder.

Then, Aigron took Chanel to a bedroom.

Compared with Schönbrunn Palace, the furnishings here are naturally very simple, and because there is no heating appliance, it is uncomfortably cold, but Aigron doesn't care.

Aigron lit the candlestick in the room, and Chanel made the bed for Aigron as usual, and Aigron walked to the window and looked into the distance.

It was already night now, and darkness had enveloped the entire world, even if it was the snow-covered Alps, it was impossible for him to see it now. But in his illusory field of vision, those continuous mountain peaks seemed to be revealing the faintly visible outlines to him.

Here is very close to the border, as long as you continue to move forward, through the Alps, you can escape the country and come to Bregenz in Switzerland.

The first destination of their trip is Switzerland.

Why Switzerland?

First of all, this is the place where the mother of the two brothers, Princess Odance, lives in seclusion. The two Louis brothers are relatively familiar with this place, and they have enough connections and resources to help him live in seclusion temporarily. He can find the first and most important shelter.

Second, after 1815, Switzerland became a permanent neutral country at the Vienna Peace Conference. However, historically speaking, various major powers have often turned their backs on their promises and treated treaties as waste paper, so the so-called "permanent neutral country" cannot be called reliable, but at least the status of this permanent neutral country is placed here. The order is obedient, and of course it will not completely follow the French king's wishes.

Therefore, even if the Swiss government finds out that there are clues that he has absconded, it is impossible to use all the power of the country to arrest him, so he will have a breathing room and can calmly implement the next plan.

Moreover, Switzerland and France are also neighboring countries, and I can pass the news to France as soon as possible to encourage those remaining supporters in France——

He didn't dare to expect them to launch an armed uprising right now, and he didn't need them to do so. He just needed to boost their morale and strengthen their confidence. He believed that he could easily do this.

King Charles X of France lost the hearts of the people by going against the grain. He will have a lot of opportunities to buy people's hearts in the future. There is no rush at this moment. Let's stabilize the team now.

"Your Majesty, it's packed..." While he was still thinking, Chanel whispered to him, "You can rest now."

Since escaping, Chanel has taken the initiative to change her name to her master, and it can be seen that she calls this more smoothly.

"Okay, thank you, Chanel." Aigron interrupted his thoughts and prepared to go to bed.

He was lying on the bed, and Chanel was going to sleep on the bedside.

"Shanel, isn't it cold?" Aigron asked.

"It's okay, Your Majesty..." Chanel shook her head, but her pale face just revealed the opposite fact.

"Then, I'm cold, let's hug and sleep, it will be warmer." Aigron ordered, and then opened his arms to her.

"Your Majesty..." Chanel was surprised and delighted, but also a little hesitant. "I'm filthy all over now, I don't deserve to be near you..."

"Okay, hurry up." Aigron ordered impatiently, and then hugged the shy Chanel into his arms.

He doesn't have any evil desires. On the one hand, he knows that this is not the time to have fun; on the other hand, as Chanel said, it is impossible for him to have any desires due to sanitary conditions-both of them have been there for several days. There was no shower, and Chanel didn't even have a chance to change clothes. Both of them smelled a little bad.

He just wanted to use this method to comfort Chanel and give himself some warm encouragement by the way.

The girl in his arms had long golden hair that was once shining, but now it was a bit dim because of the oil, but at this moment, in his eyes, it was more dazzling than gold.

She tried her best to help her escape, and she didn't even cry out during the bumps along the way. How can this kind of loyalty compare to gold?

The surroundings were completely silent, and all the hustle and bustle of the world seemed to be swallowed by the wind and snow, leaving only the slight breathing of two people.

To be honest, among the "loyal ministers and filial sons" in this line, the only person he really puts all his trust in is Chanel.

"Chanel, thank you for putting in so much effort for me. The opportunity for me to repay you with practical actions instead of verbal promises is about to come." He whispered to Chanel, "After I fell to the bottom, If you are by my side, then as long as I am prosperous one day, you will definitely have a place in the empire. To put it in a vulgar way, you are not a buddy, you are a shareholder. No matter what kind of business I make, I will give a copy for you."

"Your Majesty..." Chanel was so moved by his emotional promise that he couldn't help closing his eyes and leaning against the young man's arms, "As long as I can be by your side, that is the greatest reward."

"Remember what I told you before? The hidden treasure." Eggron continued to ask.

"I remember." Chanel nodded.

"That treasure is on a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. I will find a way to take people there, and then the two of us will dig out the treasure." Aigron emphasized to her in a low voice, "It's the two of us!"

"Huh?" Chanel looked at Aigron in surprise. "You...you don't intend to let your highness know?"

"Yes, of course I have to hide it from them! My wealth can only be handled by people I can trust completely." Aigron replied without thinking, "Not only do I have to hide it from them, I also have to pretend to tell my elders who are still alive Relatives asked for sponsorship money."

"Why...?" Chanel was a little puzzled.

"If you want to start a career, the more money the better, isn't it?" Aigron replied with a sneer, "They relied on my father to make a fortune, even if the empire was defeated, they still saved a lot of furniture. The heirs of the empire, wouldn’t it be justifiable to ask for a little money for the restoration of the country? If they give, then I will repay them and give them the honor they deserve after I make a fortune in the future... If they are stingy and don’t give it, that’s fine, I will They can be ignored logically! From then on, they can no longer use the family to blackmail me!"

This is something that Aigron planned. He knows that his elders are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they fail to do so in the future, they will cause trouble for him, so he simply set the threshold first and ask them to sponsor him. Elders who are unwilling to sponsor It just happened to be included in another volume under the name of "Wuxin Restoring the Country".

"Your Majesty..." Chanel didn't know what to say, "Someone might say that you... say that you are a little unreasonable to the relatives of the family."

"I don't care what others say, I must first determine the status of the family - I will be the patriarch, and the supreme status. If I can't even rule a family, then what qualifications do I have to rule an empire?" Aigron resolutely Answer, "With my father's lesson, relatives should prove their loyalty to me. If they can't prove their loyalty, they are no different from the enemy. No elder can surpass me just by age!"

Then, he looked at Chanel again, and whispered to her, "What I told you is my most precious secret, Chanel, just listen to it in your heart, and don't reveal a word to others. "

"Yes." Chanel immediately agreed without hesitation.

After a moment of silence, Aigron expressed his plans for the next step.

"There is no doubt that if the treasure is unearthed, I will have no financial worries for a while, but the so-called treasure-no matter how expensive jewelry-is nothing more than dead things, and I can't use these dead things to give Others pay salary, I need cash, and it is a large amount of cash, which means I have to find a way to sell all these treasures at a high price, and the sooner the better, I cannot have energy alone, Chanel , I hope you will assist me in this matter."

"I will do it for you, Your Majesty..." Chanel nodded first, but hesitated, "However, if I am alone, I am alone, and I am afraid it will be difficult to meet your request..."

"Don't worry about this, I will find people who belong directly to me to cooperate with your work." Aigron nodded slightly, "I can't rely on Louis and the others for everything, otherwise, even if I take them out, I will still do nothing. Just a puppet."

Chanel nodded a little ignorantly.

Although His Highness said it easily, this kind of thing is very difficult when you think about it-it must be very difficult to find someone who can maintain absolute loyalty in the face of huge treasures. However, there are so many people loyal to the Bonaparte family, it should be possible to find them.

Wasn't someone telling His Highness about the treasure?

After explaining these things, the two finally fell silent.

At this time, the exhaustion caused by the bumps along the way finally made them slowly fall into sleep.

It was still windy and snowy outside the window, but at this moment, they were extremely warm with each other.

After an unknown amount of time, Aigron opened his eyes drowsily.

It was probably early morning now, and the sky was not yet bright.

He subconsciously looked towards the window.

But at this time, he could clearly see that there was already a large expanse of blue sky outside, with only a few white clouds as embellishments.

Accompanied by the call of the strong wind, red clouds and mist are slightly exposed among the towering peaks of the Alps, and the snow-capped mountains are wearing the holy veil, welcoming the golden dawn.

The sun is like a thin line, slowly moving forward, revealing the beautiful majesty of the mountains, the peaks that were originally windy all night, now shyly quiet down for the time being, watching helplessly The golden paintbrush dyed her coat even more dazzling.

The majestic mountain top is looming in the clouds and mist. From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is a long slope. At this time, a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the slope, like a white silk pouring down from the sky, connecting heaven and heaven. world.

So spectacular! So beautiful!

"It's a good weather..." Aigron looked at the magnificent scenery in the sky, and then smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty, God is indeed blessing you!" Chanel hugged the young man violently to vent her excitement.
