Belfort's success was even beyond Bai Zhou's own expectations. According to his original idea, he thought it would take more verbalism and even pay a certain price to get the other party to agree to send someone to take him to find their duke, especially when he found Claude's attributes. Although he did not have a "political sense of smell" and "emotional intelligence", it was obvious that a guy with low loyalty but not bad ability would not have a low IQ. This means that this would be a very difficult opponent, whether at the negotiating table or on the battlefield. Bai Zhou couldn't help but start to sympathize with Claude. I think that if the two of Betans insisted on sending troops, they would not have been so rash with Claude's ability.

However, it was mainly because Bai Zhou underestimated the identity of Betton and Dassault. There was no comparison between a count with only titles and an earl who came out of an old family, and Betton and Dassault belonged to the latter. As Bai Zhou said at the time, Claude was indeed not qualified to discuss the "freedom" of these two people. Of course, when Bai Zhou said this, he just wanted to find some initiative in negotiations, but he did not expect to hit Claude's weakness.

Claude believed that Xi Qin just wanted to get rid of these two nobles as soon as possible, so he casually told them to meet Duke John directly. If Bai Zhou did not redeem Joan of Arc, he would definitely not run so far. One is that it is unsafe, and the other is that it is unnecessary. He could wait until the war is over before making plans. Perhaps the subsequent war would also cause a general of Xi Qin to be captured, and then "equivalent exchange" could be conducted.

But in fact, Bai Zhou was reluctant to go directly to see the Duke of Burgundy, so he naturally agreed to Claude's proposal immediately, and Claude had to eat this, which was not considered a boring loss.

Of course, when Bai Zhou came to Belfort this time, he wanted to know whether these Burgundians knew their true identities. After all, he appeared on the battlefield, especially at the beginning, he had a not-so-friendly negotiation with Betton. If the opponent knew his true identities, it would be hard to say what would happen. But now it seems that even if someone had seen him in that battle and escaped by chance, he would only think that he was a person with a relatively prominent identity. This outstanding identity was also applicable to the fourth brother of the Duke of Switzerland.

"Duke..." The famous black wizard from later generations rode his horse to Bai Zhou and said softly.

"Let's call me Bo Chen directly. Remember, on the way, my name is Bo Chen." Although Giles' voice was very low, Bo Zhou looked at the Burgundy communications soldier who was still leading the way, and decided to remind Giles.

"Yes, it's my negligence." Giles also understood that he had just been a little rash: "Bai Chen, is it important to redeem Joan of Arc this time?"

"Not big, to be honest, there is only a little hope." Bai Zhou has been riding a horse for less than a short life in later generations. However, is this comfortable? Bai Zhou would rather squeeze into the bus. After experiencing a brief curiosity, he found that if he needed to rush on the road in the future, he had to rely on such a thing. Even if he stopped his chest and patted it, he said that this was a treasure horse that was one in a million, and Bai Zhou could not help but fall into deep resentment.

"What, why is this happening!" After hearing what Bai Zhou said, Giles screamed in surprise, and attracted the eyes of the Burgundian soldiers who led the way, but Giles didn't care about so much at this time.

Originally, he came to Basel without much hope. With a letter from a mercenary leader, he came to find a person he had never heard of, a nation that only existed in the mouths of bards. This was an unreliable decision.

But what happened later made Giles feel that this time might be successful and hopeful. Because the young nobleman also understood his own situation and the help that rescued Joan of Arc would bring to him, this premise made cooperation possible. At the same time, he was the duke personally enthroned by Barbarossa, with a large fiefdom, a strong armed force, and captured two Burgundian nobles. In addition, Belford and his party went so smoothly, how did Giles calculate that it would be a sure thing to redeem Joan of Arc this time.

The reason he asked this just now was that he felt a little bit like a dream, and he urgently needed someone to help determine whether he was in a dream. Just like a snail ant tribe in later generations who suddenly found that he bought five million in the lottery. Then his first reaction was to ask others, is this true? Then he made people feel distressed and determined whether he was in a dream.

But Bai Zhou's answer ruthlessly shattered the dream. How could this make Giles accept it calmly?

"If you don't want this little hope to be shattered, I'll ask you to be quiet." This is Bai Zhou's own neglect. His principle is that he never tells lies to his allies, even if it's only temporary, in terms of cooperation between the two sides. Of course, if necessary, he can't tell the truth. But he didn't expect Giles to react so much, but Bai Zhou didn't regret it. After all, he has such a big reaction now. God knows that if Joan of Arc is unable to exchange for the end, this guy will dare to make a fuss. Considering that this gentleman could torture 300 innocent children in history, if he was given a wooden pole that was long enough, he might really dare to poke God's chrysanthemum.

But Giles is not that crazy yet. After hearing Bai Zhou's words, he really calmed down, but his face was really not very good-looking. It seemed that he wanted Bai Zhou to explain to him.

Anyway, there is nothing to do, just follow ahead and hurry up. Bai Zhou explained to him: "As long as Duke John is not stupid, he should know what kind of losses it will cause to him if Joan of Arc is released."

"But I'm sure he dare not do anything to Joan of Arc." Giles said with a frown.

"I believe it too." Similarly, unless the Duke of John, flour on his left head and water on his right head, he knew that Joan of Arc was not worth killing in France and Burgundy: "But he could hand over Joan of Arc to the English."

"This... But Joan of Arc was captured in the battle with Burgundy on behalf of the French royal family. How could he hand it over to a third party?" Giles was not sure. He was just comforting himself when he said this. Because he was also worried about this situation the most. Once Joan of Arc fell into the hands of the English, the English would not care about her appeal among the French people.

Bai Zhou pointed to himself: "Don't forget that we are also third parties, and the English can also be considered Burgundy's allies, and we are Burgundy's enemies."

Giles was silent, as if he also understood the truth and the difficulties of Bai Zhou.

"But don't worry, even for myself, I will do my best." Bai Zhou can only say this now to comfort the baron.

"Thank you." Gilles fell into silence again.
