When he received Napoleon's summons, Simmond was looking at the group of people standing in front of him with a headache "Symond, we've been friends for so many years, you won't embarrass us old friends for this little thing!"
A figure put his hand on Simmond's shoulder as if it was very intimate and said happily, he had also seen Napoleon's summons just now, but he was not alarmed, because this time the leader of the team was his childhood friend and friend for decades.
"Cayman, I didn't expect you to join the Brittany club, are you crazy?"
Symond shook off Kelman's hand on his shoulder and said loudly, and when he heard his words, Kelman spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
Just now, Simmond received a report from his subordinates that he had spotted a large group of people suddenly coming out of the ground not far from here, and after receiving the news, Simmond immediately rushed to the scene.
In that clearing, the Brittany Club and others who had just emerged from the ground were being guarded by the soldiers of the First Legion, and Simond roughly glanced at them and found that many of them were people he knew, such as the Cayman in front of him.
When he saw Simond coming, Kelman hurriedly shouted Simmond's name, and when Symond turned his head, Kelman walked up to him with a smile, and so the above scene was born.
"Simmond, you don't know, my family doesn't have much assets now, if you agree to the tax increase of His Majesty the King, the bankruptcy of the family is imminent, and I am not as high as you who don't worry about eating and drinking."
"Kelman.
What are you talking about, didn't I just borrow you two thousand francs last month?
” "Oh.
Simond, you know, I've not had a lot of luck lately, and I'm going to see God for five days at Boardman's house for two thousand francs, damn Boardman!
” As he spoke, Cayman cursed Boardman loudly, and when he heard this, Simmond was almost jumping to his feet.
The Boardman mentioned by Cayman was a gangster who had wandered into the streets of Paris, but for some reason he was favored by Bishop Chevis Chevais. became a watchdog in the hands of Chevis and after being protected by Chevis this Boardman developed a lot of industry in Paris, and 50% of the casinos in Paris have been acquired by Boardman, if it weren't for the fact that the remaining casinos have a strong background behind them and can compete with Chevis , Boardman can even swallow up the entire gambling industry in Paris.
But even so, it accounts for 50% of the gambling industry in Paris.
The profits are also considerable, and Boardman bought a villa with a huge area in the center of Paris, which is actually the largest gambling club in the whole of Paris, as long as you have money, then in the club you are God!
Simmond's salary is only a little more than 30,000 francs a year, although it seems like a lot.
But there are a lot of members of Simmond's family, and in order to maintain the dignity of the nobility, the annual expenses are also a huge amount, and even the two thousand francs lent to Cashman were secretly lent to Cashman by Simmond without telling his wife, but who knew that Cashman actually sent the money to the casino after changing hands.
"Kelman.
That's two thousand francs!
Do you know that this money is enough for an ordinary civilian to live for a year, and do you want me to talk about the situation in your own family?
Your wife has cried to me many times.
If it weren't for the fact that you're my friend, you think I'd lend you money!
Kaileman, you have disappointed me so much!
” "Simmond!
You get so much salary a year, and I only borrow five thousand francs from you, and you push and shout with me, and if I hadn't come to your house several times, you wouldn't have borrowed me even two thousand francs, would you be your friend like that?
” "Kelman, you're hopeless!"
"Simmond, I won't talk to you that much, either you let us go this time, or we don't even have to be friends!"
Cayman's attitude made the anger in Simmond's heart almost reach its peak, but looking at the empty sleeve on the right side of his friend's shirt, Simmond's heart was filled with sadness.
Originally, Simmond and Cayman grew up in the same neighborhood, and they were both born in the same year.
The friendship between the two families can be traced back to their grandfather's generation, and the two have formed a deep friendship since childhood, and the two were admitted to the Royal Army Academy together, and then both graduated with honors, as if God had arranged for them, and the two entered the same army after graduation.
In 1759, when the Seven Years' War was in full swing, the army of Symond and Kelman, who were twenty years old, was sent to the front line of the war.
But wars are always unfortunate, and in battle, in order to cover Symond, Kelman's right arm was hit by the artillery of the pursuing enemy, and his right hand was broken.
Despite Simond's numerous attempts to comfort his friend, Cayman left the army in disgrace, and when Simond returned to Paris, there was less of a sincere and sunny young officer in the world, and more of a gentleman who was addicted to gambling and alcohol all day.
The originally wealthy Cayman family was gradually dragged to the brink of bankruptcy by Cayman.
Looking at his friend's emaciated body, Simmond's heart was unbearable for a while, he subconsciously sighed and said: "Kaileman, you go, but I won't let them go here."
But what Simmond didn't expect was that after listening to her words, Kelman was furious "Simmond, don't you know what kind of person I, Cayman, are?
You have forgotten when I abandoned my comrades-in-arms even on the Hanover front, and now everyone here is my comrades-in-arms, I was able to cover you back then, and I can also cover everyone here today!
” Kelman's voice thundered around Simmond, and the otherwise quiet meadow suddenly resounded with a cacophony, including the members of the Brittany Club who were being escorted, and some of the agitated members even applauded Kelman's remarks despite the current state of detention.
At this time, Cayman seemed to have returned to that youthful and brilliant era, and his body suddenly appeared with a temperament that made Simond very familiar, and at this moment Cayman seemed to have become the friend and man that Simmond would never forget!
"Kelman, when we fought together for the royal family in Hanover, and now that you are in collusion with these rebels, have you forgotten the oath we made when we joined the army together?"
"Simond, you have been deceived by those bastards, our King has never cared about our life or death, his energy is all about how to create his playthings, do you know that France is now in a precarious situation, and the people can't even eat black bread!
Simmond, I have decided, I will fight for the people of France!
” "Kelman......
You..

You...
You're just crazy!
No one here is allowed to leave today!
” Seeing Cayman so unappreciative, Simmond was about to be mad, although he really wanted to let them all leave as Cayman said, the birthstone Simmond still had a family, Napoleon's actions were allowed by Mary, and in order not to slip through the net, Mary even let herself, the count, cooperate with Napoleon, the viscount, if he let these people go here today, then Simmond is sure that he will be imprisoned in the Bastille tomorrow!
He didn't dare and couldn't take that risk.
"Cayman, I don't want to embarrass you, if you want to leave, I can open the net, but I have to hand over the people here to the royal family, and you are also from the family, I hope you can understand me, I'm sorry!"
Saying that, Simmond lowered his head, his words were full of guilt, to Kelman, how could Simmond not feel guilty.
"Haha, this is the Simmond I know, and it's my blessing to be able to make friends like you in my life."
As he spoke, Kelman's mouth was close to Simmond's ear, and he whispered: "I have hidden twenty thousand francs in my study at home, and I have prepared to leave it for Selena and Frank, and if I go in, you must take it out and give it to them."
The Sylina and Frank that Kelman was talking about were his wife and son, and after saying that, Kelman walked back to his original position and sat there silently.
Before Simmond could ask questions, a number of torches suddenly lit up around the meadow, and in the light of one of them, Simmond recognized Napoleon as the one in charge.
Walking briskly in front of Symond, Napoleon looked at the crowd of people gathered in the grass guarded by the soldiers, and his face was very happy "Simond, you have done a good job, although not all Breton rebels here, but presumably their backbone has been captured by us, and I will tell the Queen for your credit."
Without waiting for Simmond to express his gratitude, Napoleon said in a loud voice: "Immediately escort these people back to that club, the royal guards continue to search the surrounding area, and make sure that no one is spared!"
"Be honest....
Come on!
” There were men and women, old and young, as if everyone knew their fate, and the sound of sobbing began to spread through the procession, but at odds with the dull atmosphere around him was the smile on Cayman's face as he walked past Simmond "Goodbye, my brother!"
A whisper reminded Simmond of how many green years there were between the two, but time could never go back!
