Chapter 681

December 18 is destined to be a full day.

New York has been receiving waves of climax since the morning, and Lorraine's schedule is really full.

In the morning, I watched the grand event of Wall Street on the discount day at the dukov chamber of Commerce, turned to St. Mark's church at noon to prepare for the wedding, confronted the security department in the afternoon, and practiced for varkiri in the evening.

Everyone except Lorraine and Carmen of Drake chamber of commerce took the East after Pierce's wedding. Including Pierce, who had just become a married man, everyone had to rush to Bermuda to attend the 1788 annual Drake conference, which began on Christmas Eve.

Mercury manor private pier.

Valkiri is preparing to sail. Lorraine, Wang Ye and bell say goodbye at the dock.

"Wang Ye." Lorraine regretted, "I didn't expect so many things to happen before I came. If nothing happens, we may not be able to attend your wedding and practice it for you. See you next time. We should wait until the annual meeting."

Wang also smiled: "friends between gentlemen are as light as water. Mountains and rivers are always long. Captain, since the future is long, you and I don't need children's gestures."

"Chinese is really getting better and better." Lorraine was teased by Wang and patted him on the arm angrily. "Asia is far away. Even if it's an annual meeting, you and Eddie can't attend it every year."

"Probably send representatives to the meeting? If so, you must bring Miss Shi next year. I'll make up a banquet for you."

"A gentleman's word!"

"It's hard to catch up!"

After saying goodbye to Wang, Lorraine frowned and looked at Bell.

"I'll leave Valkyrie to you for the time being," he said. "The guys' families are on the ship. Anyway, send them safely back to Miami. This time you have full power, do what you want, and don't hesitate."

"I can do much better than you in running away." bell squeezed a grimace. "It's only a few days' voyage. Even if the Freemasons have great powers and mobilized warships from the whole Caribbean to encircle and suppress us at sea, I won't hold you back."

Lorraine nodded, "I believe you."

"You can always trust me." bell thought, took out his shotgun and shot it in Lorraine's hand. "Dublin, the only thing I brought out from the Royal Navy is my lucky charm... Be careful."

Lorraine solemnly put the gun into his back waist and pretended to be relaxed: "just catch mice. Even mice with a loud reputation will not be Viking's opponent."

Valkiri set sail and sailed south in the night.

They will drive from the East River into the upper New York Bay, then cross the Strait, turn east from the lower New York Bay, abandon the mature coastal route, and use the remote land route that is difficult to control their whereabouts to the island of Santa Diana.

Throughout the crew of the varkiri, this strange route was temporarily opened. Only Lorin or bell navigation can be flexible.

At the same time, it is valkiri's blessing to have two world-class pilots. In contrast, the Masonic society, which originally did not belong to the war profession, even if it had military members, but wanted to predict and intercept accurately, the risk decreased by at least 60%.

Considering bell night airlines, valkiri's risk can be reduced by another 20%.

Watching valkiri fade into the night, Lorraine took a long breath.

Carmen smiled: "the baggage has been sent away. Are you ready for a big fight, my captain?"

Lorraine couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"You know that if you weren't for the revolving door meeting, you would be the one I most want to withdraw this time..."

Carmen couldn't hide his curiosity: "do you really think the Freemasons would launch an all-out war?"

"I don't know." Lorraine spread his hand. "Our former opponents were either the kingdom or the pirates. Their deeds can be found. Even in the most dangerous environment, we can deduce in advance and know the worst situation."

"This time the situation is not necessarily sinister, but the secret society is a strange enemy. We are not familiar with their actions, do not know their bottom line and rely on. It is false to hear. In order not to regret today's negligence in the future, I would rather treat them as the most powerful scoundrels."

"The most powerful scoundrel..." Carmen said twice. "I see. When you reach a consensus with Minister Hamilton, I will go to the minister's house to bother for a few days and never increase the burden of work, can I?"

"Stay with Alexander for a few days..." Lorraine tasted this sentence sadly. "It sounds really unpleasant..."

……

At night, Lorraine's last trip today is to visit the doctor.

The disease is not a disease, but an injury. Although the United States did not disclose the actual injury after Hamilton's assassination, Lorraine guessed that the two throwing knives lost one in one. The one in the should be stuck in the left shoulder, not deep, but it just looks more serious.

Lorraine was sure of his intuition, so he prepared pig shoulder, the famous black forest smoked ham.

When the carriage drove to the Federal Hall on Wall Street, edre showed Lorraine's business card and filled in the visitor registration.

Immediately, a sentry on duty rushed to the government hall from the back door. Another sentry boarded the bus, took the reins from edley's hand and drove to the other courtyard of the official residence from the other side of the road.

Lorraine thinks they forgot security.

After all, this is the political confidant of the United States, and many people work overtime at night. If a visit like Lorraine with a knife and a gun hurts any gentleman in Chinese clothes in the wall, it should be a great blow to American politics.

However, there was no security check.

Drive for a moment. Through the courtyard, around the parliament, strolled on a grassy hill, and soon came to a simple three story building.

Outside the door stood a middle-aged lady dressed in simple clothes. She was short and slightly fat. She was wearing a long blue and white home dress and a broken flower scarf wrapped in her gray hair. For a moment, people couldn't tell whether it was a maid or a lady.

Lorraine dared not neglect and got off immediately.

The woman stood outside the door and looked at Lorraine and smiled, "is that Mr. Drake? I'm Martha, Martha Dandridge Washington."

Martha Washington, the first lady of the United States, once a famous rich widow in Virginia, married Washington, one year younger, more than a year after the death of her ex husband. It is said that the husband and wife are harmonious and emotional.

Lorraine did not expect that the first lady, who should be 56 years old, could really see the 56 year old's appearance. She hurried up and stroked her chest.

"Lorraine, Lorraine Jonathan Drake, from Tavistock, England, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Washington."

Mrs. Washington smiled kindly and generously: "I've heard a lot about you. The children of the noble Baron Tavistock's family are always against their brothers and have done a lot for George."

From this sentence alone, Lorraine could tell that she was an insider of Edward KENWAY. The feelings and trust of the Washington couple far exceeded Lorraine's knowledge from the intelligence. Lorraine couldn't help but be broken by Mrs. Washington's frankness.

"You are an excellent first lady," Lorraine said from the bottom of her heart.

"If it's true, I'll be very happy," said his wife. "Mr. President, maybe I don't know. I don't understand politics and try my best to maintain social relations. Unlike elites like you and Alexander, who can help George, I'm not a worthy leader, madam."

"I heard that queen Sophie is not involved in political affairs, but this does not prevent her from having more enthusiastic love in Great Britain than his Majesty George III." Lorraine retorted. "On the contrary, it is well known that Queen Mary is the real helmsman of Fontainebleau, but her negative parity has never subsided, and few civilians regard her as their mother."

"It can be seen that politics has never been a necessary ability to investigate a leader's wife. You are a kind person, which is the well-being of America. You don't have to belittle yourself."

"This is the most beautiful compliment I heard when I came to New York." Mrs. Washington took the initiative to take Lorraine's arm. "George is still dealing with affairs in the government office. Are you here to see Alexander? Come in and let the coachman come in to warm up."

"Yes." Lorraine was more respectful than obedient. "Is Alexander okay? I heard he was badly hurt?"

"Injury... OK." Mrs. Washington rarely showed a cramped expression, "but he seemed very angry from the beginning of the injury. When George decided to lock him in the guest room, he became even more angry..."
