Historically, the English executed Joan of Arc and showed his temptation for a while, but immediately afterwards, the French royal family gathered a large number of small and medium-sized nobles and ordinary civilians by using the gimmick of "revenge for Joan of Arc" and also ignited the entire country.

The sad soldiers will win!

After the English killed Joan of Arc, they did not get the result they imagined - the determination to dismantle the Gauls' resistance, but instead aroused the public anger of the whole country of France. The combat effectiveness that a country with unity, can not be overestimated.

Eventually, they were driven back to the English Channel.

It is not difficult for Bai Zhou to imagine that if Xi Qin dared to execute Joan of Arc so openly, then what would be returned would be the anger of a nation.

Bai Zhou and Xi Qin could not afford this kind of anger, and there was no need to bear it.

Therefore, when Bai Zhou learned that the purpose of the French royal envoy came to negotiate was to use the hands of the Western Qin people to get rid of Joan of Arc, he believed that there was no need to continue this conversation.

Because, no matter what price the French offer, even if they set up words, Bai Zhou would not agree to their request.

The basis for cooperation between the two sides does not exist - the Western Qin people wanted Joan of Arc as commander and led French soldiers to attack Burgundy, thereby supporting Western Qin from the side; but the French royal family hoped that Joan of Arc, a woman who could only produce negative value to them now, would die sooner, the better.

One wants Joan of Arc to live and the other wants Joan of Arc to die, there is no possibility of reaching an agreement in this negotiation.

Moreover, when Bai Zhou asked himself that he could not be so cruel to make an innocent woman a victim of the political struggle of men.

Although those who have accomplished great things can be killed, if all the relatives are killed, even if they have gained a great fortune, who will share this joy with? What's more, killing Joan of Arc would have had too much conflict with Bai Zhou's original plan.

Therefore, Bai Zhou didn't mind continuing to "play" with the messenger, and by the way, he would make some things happen, so that Joan of Arc, who was hiding beside him, would see clearly how the royal family she was loyal to was preparing to repay her.

Of course, there was an unexpected surprise in the end. The French were willing to pay a deposit of 70,000, which was something that Bai Zhou could not have expected in advance. And Bai Zhou naturally would not mind losing the money. Anyway, there was no evidence. Moreover, even if the French royal family suffered a secret loss, they would not dare to make a statement everywhere. Otherwise, everyone would know what kind of dirty means did the king they were loyal to to treat a national hero who saved France.

As soon as he saw several messengers away, Bai Zhou had not had time to sit down, he saw Joan of Arc walking out from behind a curtain in the house.

This scared Bai Zhou. Although it was Bai Zhou who ordered Mi Chuan to arrange for Joan of Arc to come here to "listen" to see the despicable face of the French royal family, he did not expect that Joan of Arc was in this room. Originally, Bai Zhou thought Mi Chuan would arrange for Joan of Arc to go next door. After all, the medieval houses were still of this kind of wooden, and there was no sound insulation at all.

But unexpectedly, Joan of Arc was in this house, which made Bai Zhou admire the woman's concentration. If he had been ordinary people, if he heard such a conversation about being betrayed and betrayed, he would definitely rush out to question it clearly.

However, there is no doubt that looking at Joan of Arc's clenched fists and his pale face, I personally know that she is on the verge of mental instability, and she has to hold it back and fails to burst out.

Suddenly, somehow, Bai Zhou regretted what he did just now.

The most tragic thing in the world is the collapse of faith, and the second is the betrayal of the closest relatives.

No one wants to be a bargaining item on the table, no matter how expensive it is.

Joan of Arc has always believed that the royal family would do its best to rescue her back home. Although she and the current King of Dharma Charles VII were not close, they were definitely in the same comrade-in-arms who supported each other in the same trenches. At the critical moment of France's life and death, Joan of Arc stood up and helped Charles, who was still the prince at that time, successfully ascended the throne and crowned him, and became the King of Dharma.

Their relationship at that time was not an exaggeration to use fish and water as metaphors.

Therefore, if it were not for what he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears, Joan of Arc would never believe that the Dharma King would actually want his own life. Could it be that God has really abandoned himself?

"Are they sent by the Dharma King?" Joan of Arc gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and asked word by word.

In fact, she already knew the answer, but this simple woman was unwilling to believe, nor could she believe that all this was true. She would rather believe that this was deliberately arranged by Bai Zhou with "sincere intentions".

Bai Zhou did not answer, the facts were right in front of everyone. This was not a question of whether he believed it or not. Moreover, if Joan of Arc insisted on not believing it, no matter how much Bai Zhou said, it would be in vain.

"Tell me, all this is fake, all this is a lie!"

Tears slid down Joan of Arc's cheeks, and his closed eyes could not block many tears. This woman who has always been strong and who has always shown men's clothing finally cried like a child at this moment. At this moment, Bai Zhou felt that the person in front of him was a living person, not the Valkyrie who had been rendered almost as gods as the later generations.

"This is all lies, lies!" Joan of Arc shouted at the top of his lungs, choking. At this moment, everything seemed to have collapsed, and in an instant, without any preparation, it collapsed completely. It seemed that she could never find a friend or partner who could trust and rely on. This feeling was undoubtedly the most terrifying.

No one is not afraid of loneliness. Even no matter how rebellious a person is, he longs from the bottom of his heart that someone can truly love and understand himself, let alone Joan of Arc, who is only twenty years old and is still as old as a flower.

Fiora took two steps forward, hugged Joan of Arc tightly, and buried her head in front of her chest. It seemed that she was the only one in this hall that could understand Joan of Arc's feelings.

They were all pitiful people, but one has found spiritual support now, while the other has completely disappeared.

Joan of Arc no longer showed his strong appearance in front of others. He cried like a child or a child who had lost his mother.

It took a long time, and the sobs gradually stopped, and Fiora's clothes were already wet.

"Do you need a hand towel?" Fiora saw that Joan of Arc finally raised her head, her eyes were red. Obviously, her mental state is still not stable now.

"Thank you, no need." Joan of Arc saw that Fiora was wet with a large piece of clothes, and seemed to realize that he had just lost his composure. "Sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. In fact, we have a responsibility to cause this current result. I hope you don't blame us." Fiola exonerated Bai Zhou. After all, although Fiola was talking about "we", everyone knows that all this was directed by Bai Zhou.

The words Mengshan gave to Bai Zhou just now were just avoiding the French, so Fiola could hear them clearly. At that time, Fiola didn't know what Bai Zhou had plans, but she understood everything after that.

"You did nothing wrong, I understand." Joan of Arc wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and there was a hint of sadness in his voice. Then, she turned her head and said to Bai Zhou: "Thank you, Lord Duke."

Of course, Bai Zhou knew what Joan of Arc's "thank you" mean, but he was really embarrassed to say "no thank you". After all, from a personal perspective, if he had not been for his own selfishness, he would not have let Joan of Arc appear here at all. I believe she also understood this.

Joan of Arc then took a few deep breaths, as if he was calming down his mood.

"Well, don't worry, you are absolutely safe here. I promise not to hurt you, nor will the French hurt you, no matter how much they paid." Bai Zhou scratched his head, although he believed that Joan of Arc could hear that he was just shining the messenger just now and wanted to trick some money, and there was absolutely no intention to hurt her. But with Joan of Arc's current mental state, Bai Zhou was indeed afraid that she would be off-putting.

"I understand that if the adults really want to 'sell' me, they will not be able to arrange me here. After listening to your conversation." Joan of Arc showed a bitter smile, his voice faintly hoarse: "But I didn't expect that I was only worth 100,000 gold coins."

Bai Zhou thought that the price is no longer low. After all, although your value is more than 100,000 gold coins, for the people of the Western Qin Dynasty, killing you is just a raise of your hand. If the matter is done more neatly, it can even make you disappear without realizing it. If the price given by the French royal family is equivalent to the value you can create, then Bai Zhou has to doubt what the other party’s head is made of.

"What do you plan to do in the future?" Bai Zhou decided not to mess with these meaningless topics. Now it seems that Joan of Arc has no particularly outstanding performance, that is, he can continue to communicate with Joan of Arc in a substantial way without worrying too much about any unpredictable consequences if he accidentally stimulates her.

To be honest, this woman is more fragile than she imagined and stronger than she imagined.

"I don't know." Joan of Arc told the truth. In fact, returning to France is a good choice. First of all, the royal family will definitely not dare to make things difficult for Joan of Arc on the surface. Secondly, there are many nobles who have deep friendship with Joan of Arc, who can take care of her and prevent her from being plotted against.

For example, Giles, who has not yet heard of it, would not believe that if he would agree to the royal family to hurt Joan of Arc in the future, Bai Zhou would not believe it.

But then again, France has become Joan of Arc's sadness. What can she do when she goes back? Could it be that she will hide under the wings of others for the rest of her life and be obedient to the people? With Joan of Arc's character, she will definitely not be able to fight. However, the result of the struggle will be both defeated by the royal family at most.
