Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 43: Old friend

"Didn't I tell you to stay alive?" As soon as I entered the stockade, the **** killings had already told Justinian, and the Albanians had completely ignored the words he had ordered yesterday.

"It's not enough to take down the stockade, people down the mountain! Where are we going to catch you in the dark?" Bogdani, with a rough face, didn't care, even though he already knew the identity of Justinian in front of him was extraordinary. , But he still used to call him Chief Yamashita as before.

Justinian didn't care about this either. He glanced at the messy stockade. Obviously, although the Arnarians said it was easy, what they experienced yesterday was undoubtedly a **** battle. Mikhail was more cautious than he expected. In such a place, a squadron of three hundred people was stationed. It is unrealistic to be able to take down the mountain people who have overfulfilled the task.

While the two were arguing, a riot came from behind the crowd, and the mountain people of the Qingshigang tribe who occupied the city were walking towards here with a captive.

Seeing this scene, Bogdani grinned and asked Justinian for his credit: "Hey, you are always satisfied now, people from the mountain!"

At a glance, Justinian was a little surprised when he saw the captive who had been **** by Wuhuada. It can only be said that this person was not torn to pieces by the Albanians last night. It was really lucky.

The captured prisoner was sent in front of Justinian, and the two sides had a face-to-face encounter, and both Justinian and the other party subconsciously made a surprised voice.

"It's you!"

"Are you Simeon?" Even though he hadn't seen him for a long time, Justinian still remembered the other party. The prisoner in front of him was the general who received him for the first time in Epirus. The last time the two sides met was when he regained Corfu on his way to Rusnina two years ago.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." After ordering people to clean the battlefield and arrange a clean room, Justinian entertained the captured General Simien.

汜减B xwx.*co汜. Sacrifice such as xindingdianxsw.net sacrifice such as. "I didn't expect to meet again in this way, Justinian... Your Excellency." Simeon, who was a captive, obviously did not expect to be treated like this, and said with a somewhat formal expression.

"After all, I haven't seen you for a long time." Justinian got up to pour a glass of wine for him and was shocked, walked to the window for a moment in a daze, and suddenly asked: "How about little John, His Excellency Simeon? I have never had time to ask, how is he doing well by your side?” The brief thoughts brought Justinian to the time when he first came to this world, when he fled with the blind emperor Muzfeus. When he arrived in Constantinople, he met the rebels, and was entrusted to bring the little John, who was an orphan, to Epirus and his uncle Simien. Although there is no intersection between the two sides, I can't help feeling sigh in retrospect at this moment.

On the other side, Simeon took a sip from his glass, calmed down a bit, nodded and replied: "It's been a long time, and that kid John has been talking about you. He has been talking about joining the army before, so I So he arranged for him to enter the army and stay at Rusnina, but he did not come with me this time."

"That's it!" After learning about it, Justinian nodded, "Then I have nothing to worry about."

Hearing the cold voice of the young man in front of him, Simeon's heart slammed, and the warmth that had risen in his drunk belly instantly dissipated. He raised his head cautiously to look at Justinian's back looking out the window, and asked, "Why do you have to do this, Lord Justinian?"

"What are you doing?" Justinian asked rhetorically.

Unknown courage, Simeon boldly said to Justinian: "Rebel against your Majesty Mikhail! Everyone knows that the blind emperor Muzfius is no longer suitable for sitting on the throne. As Noah of Epirus, His Majesty Mikhail, who has the blood of Dukas, can save the entire empire."

"Really, I don't think so. When did the rise and fall of Rome all depend on the blood of a person? If that were the case, Constantinople would not have fallen." Justinian said slightly. Retorted playfully.

Mi He Mi. "But if His Majesty Mikhail is unworthy, what qualifications does Muzfius, the already useless usurper, have?" Simeon asked unwillingly.

Justinian shook his head, put down the wine glass in his hand, and walked to the other person with a calm face, "You are right, but I never said that I will help His Majesty Muzfius restore and deal with Mihai. Erdukas himself is just a favor." Rubbing the ring on his finger that was originally given to him by the other party, Justinian did not conceal his true thoughts. If I was grateful to the emperor when I first went to Moria, Justinian has completely lost his original idea. After defeating Mikhail and annexing all Epirus, he will give that People are free, but obviously it is impossible to return power to the other party. This is not a question of conscience, but an inevitable choice of mature rulers. At this moment, Simeon in front of him thought he was just for restoration, UU reading www.uukanshu. com can't help making him feel a little ridiculous.

And then General Epirus, who had just recalled from the opponent's words, was stunned for a while, looked at Justinian in disbelief, and stammered: "You are fighting for the throne?!" In Himi En's opinion, Justinian’s thoughts are almost crazy. It should be noted that the emperor of the Roman Empire has undergone several changes and disputes over the past few hundred years. Mu Ning, which family is not deeply rooted. But Justinian in front of him, although he did gain recognition from the nobility through the status of Moria’s despot, he was essentially a nouveau riche in the countryside in the eyes of the nobleman. He had no background at all. Now he wants to aspire to the throne. , It is ridiculous.

From the opponent's reaction, Justinian understood Simeon's thoughts, which was completely in his expectation. He didn't hide anything anymore, "Yes. Your Excellency Simeon, your family is actually of civilian origin. Little John mentioned to me before that it was your grandfather's generation that was promoted to the military by virtue of the military merits of fighting against the Bulgarians. Nobility. So you should be clear about the ills of the empire! In these centuries, the peasants who worked hard in Rome have only been exploited and squeezed in exchange for heavy taxes and never-ending wars. God really abandoned them. Are we? Our people hate us. They would rather be ruled by Turks and Latins than being proud of Romans. People born in the purple room have long forgotten the teachings of their ancestors and are emperors. Only by responding to the wishes of the people will he be called by the people, and never do the opposite."

"Now, I want to ask you, would you let me correct all this, Lord Simeon?"
