Edinburgh is 410 miles away from London, which is 656 kilometers. For homing pigeons, it can fly 90 to 140 kilometers per hour. If you keep a constant speed, it takes less than six hours. The carrier pigeons all flew back to the Darkblade headquarters in London.

  The dark blade leader Guy, who got the news, didn't dare to delay for a moment. He rode his horse and galloped quickly on the streets of London.

  By this time, the sky in London had already brightened, and various shops had also started operating for the day.

  The road is also dotted with a lot of pedestrians. Seeing such presumptuous horse riders, they all give way in fear. Fortunately, the renovated London streets are very wide, otherwise they will suffer.

  The distance was not far, and after Guy accelerated, Guy came to Whitehall Palace in less than five minutes.

  The maid was very angry, and directly let the king's close minister into the Whitehall Palace, and sent someone to report.

   After getting Edward's permission, Guy really walked into the backyard and came to Edward's side.

  At this time, Edward was running in the morning, slowly running around the small yard.

  This body has been sick and weak since he was a child. Edward is not willing to be like history. He went to see God in his teens without a wife.

  So, he does running, sit-ups and other exercises every day, especially running, which is a must every day, and his body is gradually improving day by day.

   And behind his buttocks, the little Queen Lolita Marie followed, her two chubby little faces flickered, looking extremely cute.

Little Lolita has two upturned braids today. The red hair color gives people a sense of enthusiasm. On the braids, there is a small bell given to her by Edward. It jingles when she moves. When she runs, it will ring. Non-stop, very interesting.

  Edward ran nearly 20 laps, estimated to be four kilometers away, and then stopped, and Little Lolita also stopped, looking at Edward longingly.

   "Don't look at me, yours hasn't arrived yet! There are still two laps, come on!"

  Edward patted the little Lolita's fleshy butt, with a gloating expression on his face.

   "Hmph—Brother Edward will bully me!" Little Lolita continued to run panting after saying this, with a proud expression on her face, which seemed to indicate that such a distance would not hinder her.

  Edward smiled and was satisfied with his training methods. He believed that he had helped little Lolita develop perseverance.

   Immediately, I started stretching exercises. I just finished running and needed to let my body relax.

  At this time, he also saw Commander Gay with an anxious expression on his face. He felt that something important had happened in his heart, so he walked over immediately.

   Seeing Edward approaching, Guy was overjoyed, and said immediately: "Your Majesty, according to the news from Edinburgh, Edinburgh has been completely occupied by the Earl of Wellington with the help of the French army!"

   "All the Scottish nobles, including the Queen Mother, have basically been wiped out. Congratulations, Your Majesty, I'm afraid the King of Scotland will be added to your prefix!"

  Guy spoke quickly, but Edward took a while to fully understand that Scotland has become his own bowl of meat.

  Great joy welled up in Edward's heart, and there was also a joyful expression on his face.

   "Lucy, Lucy, hurry up and notify the Privy Council to hold an emergency meeting!"

  Edward gave loud orders to his little maid. In order to vent his anger, he ran to little Lolita and hugged her.

   Kissed her delicate face vigorously with her mouth, more than a dozen mouthfuls, making little loli drool all over her face.

   "Wooooow! Brother Edward, what are you doing? I can't breathe!" It's not that Edward has never kissed like this before, but it didn't take that long, which made little Lolita feel a little uncomfortable.

  Little Lori couldn't break free from Edward's embrace, so she just looked at him with aggrieved eyes.

  Edward reacted when he heard the voice, rubbed the little Lolita's soft butt, and then let her go.

   "Mary, we are happy to see your mother!"

  Edward hurriedly changed the topic, and with a bright smile, he said to the little Lolita who was wiping her saliva all the time.

   "Really? I'm so happy! I can see my mother, I can see my mother!"

  Little Lolita was stunned, her big eyes blinked, and her blue eyes were very beautiful.

   Immediately, he reacted, jumped up and down happily, and shouted.

   "Okay, okay, get ready, we will be in Edinburgh in a few days, to see your mother!"

  Edward took little Lolita's little hand, looked into his eyes, and said gently.

   "Oh!" Little Lolita nodded obediently, and ran back in a bouncing manner, fearing that she was going to tell Casey, Queen Mary's maid.

   After a while, under the service of Luna, Edward changed his clothes and put on the king's exclusive regular clothes.

   Immediately afterwards, at the meeting of the Privy Council, Edward told the ministers this happy thing, and then Edward gave orders again.

First of all, the Privy Council drafted a decree in the name of Edward, which was an order to summon the militia. A county militia closer to Scotland.

   Then, he was transferred from a dozen Privy Council ministers who did not have a strong sense of presence. He was preparing to handle Scotland's government affairs.

   Immediately afterwards, he went to Edinburgh with the English Navy, who was repairing in Portsmouth, to prevent the French from becoming angry and bringing the fleet to fight.

  After that, Edward began to prepare the 3,000 guards for a long journey. This time, he will go to Scotland in person, meet the Scottish nobles, and also meet the famous Queen Mother of Scotland.

  Three days later, everything was ready. Edward took the two sisters Lucy Luna, little Loli Mary, and a dozen boys and girls guards, plus a dozen Privy Council ministers and Darkblade leader Guy.

  Bringing Guy is to let him personally deploy a more rigorous spy branch in Scotland. By the way, he will command the various members of the Dark Blade in Scotland to see if they can help.

The 3,000-strong Guards and more than 2,000 civilians from around London came to help deliver food, grass and equipment under the inducement of Edward's heavy profit. Why use money? Because Edward's annual service time has been overdrawn, so only Can pay to hire.

This is a lot of money. Fortunately, the Hanseman sent the first deposit a few days ago, 100,000 pounds. Otherwise, Edward might have to sell the religious property confiscated by the Reformation like his father Henry VIII. I went to borrow money.

   Arrived at York, an important town in the north, where 3,000 militiamen gathered, plus 3,000 guards and 2,000 civilian husbands, a total of 8,000 people walked towards Edinburgh.
