Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 But are you really willing to do this? "Justinian hesitated and asked for a moment. He didn't understand why this man would accept such harsh conditions. In the history of Byzantine emperors, entering the monastery meant saying goodbye to all secularism and becoming a loser in the power struggle. Why would Si swallow so easily? It was obvious that they had enough cards in hand to continue the negotiation.

　　 However, Muzfius asked in return: "Then are you really willing to become a mediocre little nobleman, and finally die on the battlefield to end your life?"

Muzfius’s question hit Justinian’s heart. He knew that he couldn’t make it out of his current small role, and that meant that it would be impossible for him to look for fragments of the ark. He stared at him. The man in front of him asked, "What do you mean?"

　　 "What do you mean?" Justinian realized what, looking at the man in front of him, he should have realized that this man could not be willing to be another's puppet.

　　 And he came here just waiting for Muzfius to say this.

"Mikhail's suspiciousness is essentially the same as Alexei Angeles. You did this because you asked me to leave his sight to accomplish other things, right." Chash Denny looked at Muzifius and asked.

　　 "I did not read you wrong as expected." Muzfius nodded, and Justinian did not disappoint him either. This man already had his own preparations, he was not so easy to be willing to become a puppet at the mercy of others, so he had done so before to put the bet on Justinian.

"But even if I go to the south, I am afraid that I will be under surveillance. What should I do?" Justinian hesitated, although as long as there is an army of his own, he will be promoted. However, Mikhail will inevitably have him Dread, Muzfius should also be aware of this.

"Only having one's own power is enough to contend with Mikhail. This requires long-sleeved talents. The commander of the border guards in the south is Mikhail's brother Theodor Dukas, and he takes advantage of the difference between them. Discord is the only chance." Muzfeus's calm appearance made Justinian also slightly surprised. It turned out that this man already had a plan that belonged to him.

"I understand." Justinian had no doubts about the contradiction between the two brothers. Historically, it was Theodore who assassinated Mikhail-Epirus completely inherited the Byzantine tradition of fighting in the same house. .

　　 Futile infighting also ruined their chance to enter Constantinople.

　　 "I beg you for everything, Justinian." Muzfius could not continue talking to Justinian, and there was an impatient knock on the door outside the door, and the guards were already waiting anxiously.

　　 "Take care of your majesty." Justinian gratefully knelt down on one knee and said goodbye to Muzfius.

　　 And at this time, the guards of Epirus also opened the door and asked Justinian to leave. The time had come.

　　 But Muzfius put his arms around Justinian’s kissing cheek, and gave the final blessing to Justinian.

But Justinian discovered that Muzfius took off his ring and put it into Justinian’s hand, and whispered in his ear: "Promise me one thing, help me find my family , Bring this thing to the Duke of Corinth and he will help you. I am not asking you to die. With it, you are enough to get the help of the nobles who are still loyal to me, even though I don’t know what their situation is now. Yes. But I believe you can do it."

　　 After speaking, the guards took Justinian out of the monastery half-duly, and looking at the tightly closed door, Justinian opened his palms.

　　 That is not an ordinary ring, but Muzfius's private seal, if it is really like that man, it will be of great benefit to him.

But Justinian did not expect the other party to give him such an entrustment. It is not so easy to find Muzfius’s family. Muzfius once told him that he would take his wife before leaving Constantinople. The woman was sent to Peloponnese, and now it is basically controlled by Boniface.

"No matter so much... now I can only take one step and see one step." Justinian mounted his horse. As a low-level officer, he could only go to his castle alone. He had to change his mind in Mikhail. Before leaving Rusnina.

　　 The south is now the Peloponnese. The remnant nobles of the Empire and the Latin invaders are intertwined. Although many Byzantine nobles succumbed to Boniface, they were not willing to surrender. That's Justinian's chance. If you can make a fortune there, it will be enough to fight Mikhail.

　　 On the other side, Mikhail Dukas’ brother Theodor Dukas received an edict from his brother.

　　Looking at the order given to himself from above~www.ltnovel.com~Theodore couldn't help but sneered, furiously, "It's ridiculous, he really thinks he is the emperor?"

　　 By his side, the ministers belonged to him and the generals did not dare to speak. The contradiction between Mikhail and Theodore had existed for many years, and it had been an open secret.

　　 Had it not been for Theodor's military talent to hold a variety of soldiers, Mikhail would have already attacked him with medicine.

　　 Now, Mikhail also issued a harsh order, asking Theodor to lead the army to recover the Peloponnese.

"What are you kidding me, I can take down the entire Peloponnese with my own people?" Although he holds a heavy hand, there are only four thousand heavy infantry and less than three thousand Turkic cavalry. The princes of Achaia and the Principality of Athens are already very reluctant, and facing their overlord Boniface, they hit the rocks with pebbles.

　　 This is undoubtedly his brother deliberately doing it, clearly trying to suppress himself.

　　 Theodor's son Romanus persuaded his father to calm down his anger, "But we can't openly refuse the father, otherwise Mikhail must use this as an excuse to continue to weaken. Let's take a long view."

　　 The other generals also quickly persuaded, hoping that Count Theodor would not act impulsively.

　　 "Then what do you guys do now?" The helpless man couldn't help covering his painful forehead, and his semi-independent status in Agrinon would not be guaranteed.

　　 "Maybe we can make some deals with Boniface." Romanus on the side suddenly said an unexpected name, which surprised Theodor subconsciously.

　　 "What are you kidding?" The man almost said in a stern tone. Watching his son say such a rebellious thing, Romanus quickly lowered his head when he saw his father's anger.
