Chapter 2632: Runaway princess

On the contrary, if you take the initiative to seduce the emperor, and even if the other party is only polite, it would not be cruel to refuse, so half-push and half-link together...
what? This……
With a little regret, the countess went to Bethlehem to take up her post with her adopted daughter Ruby. On the first day she received an invitation from Princess Audrey to enter the palace for the appointment.
With the help of Audrey, the "little fan girl", the generous and hospitable countess quickly opened up in Bethlehem's social circle, but unfortunately this is only a superficial view, and her work has not progressed for a long time.
The Crown Prince of Colofa, who is in charge of the foreign affairs of the Canaanite government, is known as the "Nine-Tailed Fox" in the international diplomatic community, which shows his behavior.
The prince of Colofa was very cautious about the disputes in the New World. He has yet to openly support the colonial people’s pursuit of independence. He is very concerned about reselling arms to the New World in private. The subject of each meeting with the countess is the patience of bringing goods and bargaining. Comparable to the aunt of the vegetable market, she has to care about every copper plate, and the countess's mentality is about to collapse!
Make money, not shabby!
Even the crown prince of Canaan has sharpened his head and drilled into the eyes of money. It is no wonder that there is such a joke circulating around the world: "The greatest contribution the Canaanites have made to human civilization is the invention of'loan usury'. "
While Mrs. Josephine was thinking hard about how to break the deadlock, the "silly white sweet" Princess came to her door and confided her inner distress.
After hearing her complaint, Mrs. Josephine had an idea and thought of a good idea that had the best of both worlds.
In order to avoid falling off the conversation and arousing the antipathy of the Canaan royal family, she was not good to persuade Audrey to run away from home, so she told Ruby to bring a deck of cards and invite Audrey to play cards to relieve her boredom.
Canaan has such a ethos, down to the common people, up to the royal family and nobles, cards must be played with a little bit of color, and no bet games will be played with you.
Mrs. Josephine went to the country to follow the customs, often organizing card games in her living room, inviting the ladies and wives of the wealthy families of Bethlehem to play cards and take the opportunity to inquire about intelligence.
In today's hand, only she and Ruby played with Audrey. The mother and daughter were not very lucky, especially the poor "Miss Ruby", the cards were not going well, and the skills of playing cards were also poor. They lost all of their pocket money within an hour.
"Ruby, I have no bargaining chips!"
Little Lori dropped the card in frustration.
"My luck just picked up, don't run away."
Mrs. Josephine seemed to be addicted to cards.
"Ruby, I can lend you money."
Audrey grabbed a handful of gold coins and handed it over.
"Ruby, I have principles and don't borrow loan sharks!"
"Miss Ruby" was very spine, touched her storage bag, and took out the scroll box from it.
"There is a scroll of'Advanced Teleportation' here, and it can be used as a bet, is it okay?"
Ok? Advanced teleportation? !
Her Royal Highness’s ears suddenly stood up, her eyes lighted up, she rubbed her palms, smiled and said to Ruby: "Okay, use this scroll as a bargaining chip! Come on, Ruby, work harder, I have a foreboding of you Can win back with the profit!"
"Yeah! Ruby, I have the same premonition!" Little Lori draws the cards confidently, "Luck takes turns, I can't just lose forever, right?"
However, it turns out that "Miss Ruby" is still too young.
In less than ten minutes, she also lost the last bet.
If Audrey had a godly help, she would draw good cards in succession, and when the game ended, she would return the money she won to Ruby, who was hit hard, and only laughed at the scroll of Little Lolita.
Back at the palace, Audrey sent away the maid, packed up her bags, and left a letter to her parents and brother-in-law, stating that she was going to the New World to find the runaway brother Holden, then she pulled the scroll and turned it into A golden light soared into the sky, and after a few seconds, it was directly transmitted to the free port on the other side of the ocean.
...
On October 2, 1626, Audrey got in touch with her friend Hailar on the first day she came to Freeport.
After the two girlfriends met, Audrey followed Hailar to the Continental Army’s camp. What she saw was a scene of turmoil, mountains of trash, and sewage. It was in contrast to the sight of a neat army in her imagination, somewhat a little bit different. Disappointed.
"Thirty or forty thousand soldiers crowded into this small port city. Every day, just eating and drinking Lazard will produce countless garbage. It is not easy to maintain this. At least there has not been an outbreak of infectious diseases in the military camp."
Hailar covered his mouth as soon as he finished speaking, as if he was worried that he would be right.
Audrey held her nose, adjusted her emotions a bit, and asked her girlfriends worriedly: "My dear, the conditions of the Continental Army are more difficult than I thought. I found that many soldiers didn't even have a set of uniforms, and they ran barefoot. Come and go, let alone firearms and ammunition."
"Yes, our troops are short of food and clothing. They all rely on the sea brothers to risk looting the Feizhen transport ship to supply supplies. At present, only one-third of the soldiers are equipped with firearms. It can only be used like this."
Hailar sighed, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of sadness.
"The conditions are so difficult, it's too difficult to win the well-equipped Fei's army." Audrey told the truth.
"That's true, there is one thing to say, our Continental Army has not won many battles since its establishment." Hailar was a little embarrassed, "From New Avalon to Midgard, and then to Freeport, we continue to lose battles. The enemy chased us like a hare chasing a rabbit. It's too bullying!"
"This is not a long-term solution." Audrey frowned. "Winter is coming soon, at least you have to tidy up the winter equipment before the frost. How cold is Midgard's winter? Clearly, without winter clothes to keep you warm, let alone fighting, a heavy snowfall can freeze people alive!"
"You said that we all understand it, but unfortunately there is no way."
Hailar spread both hands, his face full of helplessness.
"To tell you the truth, although the winter uniform is very important, it is not the most pressing problem facing the Continental Army."
"What could be more serious than the freezing of a soldier?"
"At least until mid-November, you can make do without winter clothes, but before that, the Continental Army and Freeport are still there, so you have to put a question mark first."
"My dear, what do you mean by this?" Audrey looked confused.
Hailar gave a wry smile and took her hand towards the headquarters.
"You probably don't know yet. Most of our soldiers only signed short-term service contracts. A large number of soldiers' contracts will expire at the end of this month. If you can't get a new contract, the troops will disband and go home!"
