Sir D'Eon, the French spy king, is a legend in the world spy war history. Being a spy, known as the spy king, has its own advantages.
D'Eon's full name is Charles Zine, Viva Luis Andrei, Dimodi D'Eon de Beaumont. He was born in the lowest aristocratic family in donnelly.
D'Eon is an excellent student at school. While other students are still learning Latin alphabet, he is already learning Latin law. He was only a child, but he got a doctorate in law. One of his papers on French finance shocked the French academic community.
D'Eon is short, with long eyelashes and handsome face, like a girl, but he is an excellent swordsman. In his hometown, his classmates elected him as the captain of the fencing school.
1750, D'Eon came to Paris with great ambition. At that time, French King Louis XV was discussing D'Eon's famous papers with his ministers. The French king said to the minister, "This D'Eon seems very clever. We should use people as smart as the Minister of Finance. " "The minister nodded. At that time, the French treasury was in debt for years, and the days were getting worse and worse. So, D'Eon was called into the palace.
The king of France looked at him with amazement. Is this innocent young man with a young face like a girl actually a famous doctor of law and financial expert? This is beyond his imagination.
Yes
However, after a few minutes of conversation, it turns out that D'Eon is not an idle person. The king of France was surprised.
Louis XV suddenly felt that it was too much for him to let such an outstanding talent as D'Eon stay in the Ministry of Finance to manage finance and economics. He wants to give him a more important position. The French king resigned his minister and said to D'Eon alone, "I want you to complete an extremely important secret task for France."
It turned out that at that time, the French king found an amazing news: his old enemy King George II was preparing to form an alliance with Russia, which would make Britain stronger and become a great threat to France.
The French king stepped back and said to D'Eon, "You must go to Russia and talk to Czar Elizabeth alone. The Russians can't know that you are my special envoy. When you have a chance to meet the czar alone, give her a letter I wrote. "
In addition, the king of France gave D'Eon a password, and asked him to try to give it to the female czar for secret communication between Russia and France.
Shortly after being disguised as a woman, a carriage left Paris, and a few days later, it has arrived in the German city of anhalt.
When the carriage entered anhalt City, a charming girl got off the carriage: "Miss Mia de Beaumont". No one will think that "she" is D'Eon.
With him is an elderly Frenchman, Byron Douglas from Sweden. He claims to be Miss Mia's uncle, but in fact he is D'Eon's reliable assistant. Douglas went around saying that he was a leather and mining businessman. If asked, he explained, "I hope to visit some Bohemian mines before going home, and maybe even see the huge leather market in Russia, but my trip is entirely for health reasons." He coughed for a while.
They stole the show, waved goodbye and walked north.
They always carry two things. One is the studded tortoise shell snuff bottle that Douglas carefully put in his pocket, and the other is the little book that Miss Mia takes with her everywhere. This snuff bottle has a secret compartment, which contains the communication code, while the sheepskin cover of that little book contains a personal letter from Louis XV to the female czar.
After a long journey through the Senecio Plain, they finally reached St. Petersburg, the Russian capital.
St Petersburg is full of foreign spies. Professional and amateur aristocrats who had fun at the dance were also collecting information. Russian Prime Minister Peter Rochev knew there were many spies, but he didn't arrest all of them. Instead, he set up a Russian spy organization to closely monitor all foreigners and deny them access to the female czar. He even set up spies in the court to monitor the czar's every move. He didn't trust her, because the female czar was addicted to a dissolute and shameless life and didn't care about state affairs, so Pistochev wouldn't let her get in touch with Britain.
Beauty in Paris caused a sensation in St. Petersburg and also attracted the attention of Pistochev. He ordered the secret agents to find out the origin and details as soon as possible. One night, when the young lady was attacked, four agents suddenly broke into Douglas and his niece's apartment. Three of them broke into Douglas' room after breaking into the house. Douglas, who was put on the bed by three people, struggled to jump out of bed, fought back with his fists and tried his best to defend himself, but with his bare hands, he could not compete with the three knife-wielding agents.
