Eagle Flag of Epirus

Looking at Ioannis who was leaving angrily, Odoxia frowned slightly, and his inner anxiety was all over his face. Obviously, there are powerful enemies outside and there are nobles who are guilty and guilty. The heavy burdens are all on her. If others can't bear it, this empress who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside is still struggling to support her.

"Your Excellency Baptiste, can we really make it to Justinian's return?" Odoxia asked the Latin man weakly, unable to hide his exhaustion. From the initial hopefulness to the delay in getting news from the trapped lonely city, the emperor was also a little desperate at this time, and a voice in her heart had been quietly whispering to tempt her to give up quickly.

Without waiting for Baptiste to answer her question, Antonia’s rhetorical question awakened the confused Odoxia, "All of us are qualified to doubt whether Justinian abandoned us, Your Highness. But only Do you really think so?"

The words of the Genoese girl were so embarrassing that Odoxia was a little bit embarrassed. Yes, if it weren’t for the fledgling young man back then, maybe he would still be the caged bird in the palm of Leos Grace’s palm without knowing it. If he hadn’t appeared in time at that time, both himself and his daughter in Tripolis would be harmed. At the hands of the rebels. These are all the true confession of her true feelings during the night talks with Antonia, but now she has forgotten because of the momentary vacillation.

"Thank you, Antonia." The empress thanked the girl sincerely to her heart.

Others on the side were also surprised that the words of the Genoese girl had such a miraculous effect. Odoxia, who had been so depressed just now, swept away from the haze in his eyes, and became resolute again.

"Your Excellency Baptiste, Your Excellency Arslan." Odoxia turned to look at the other two people behind him, and said: "I need you to seize the time to strengthen the city defense and prepare for the next battle." The emperor understood after she recovered. The enemies outside the city will never give up easily, and after the fierce battle on the first day, they can't take it lightly.

But at this time, Baptiste, who had been holding his words in his heart, stepped forward and whispered: "These things can be temporarily slowed down, Your Highness, I think it's time for us to implement that plan."

Subtract BXwX.C*o汜. "Plan?" Looking at the pretendingly mysterious Latin, Odoxia was slightly startled, and didn't figure out what it meant.

Sacrifice such as 75zhongwen.com sacrifice such as. Antonia, who had already heard what the other party meant, lowered her voice to the emperor beside her and said, "We are going to take you to meet someone, Your Highness!"

…

…

Thessaloniki under the curtain of night, freed from the fierce battle during the day, the rare peace shrouded in the night sky. Compared with the bright lights in the upper city where the nobles lived, the dirty alleys where the civilians were curled up were crowded and dim. Apart from the howling of wild cats, there was no other movement on the street.

In the middle of the night, a horse-drawn carriage quietly drove over the stone bridge at the junction of the upper and lower urban areas, and deliberately turned into a shanty town extending in all directions. After several more bends, the horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of a small hotel. . The driver was dressed in disguise. At first glance, he looked like a coachman. No one would have imagined that the driver was Sir Baptiste, the city official of Thessaloniki. I saw him knock on the door panel cautiously, as if he was screaming with the people inside. And then I don't know how long it took before this humble tavern slowly opened the door. At this end, Baptiste also opened the carriage, and the people inside walked out, and walked into the tavern without stopping after getting off the carriage.

"Here is...?" Looking at this strange environment, Odoxia took off the hood that shielded her identity and looked confused. Until now, the two of Baptiste and Antonia who brought her here still did not tell her. Who came to see this trip.

"Your Royal Highness!" A hoarse voice came from a dark corner in the tavern. Odoxia followed the prestige and saw an old man carrying an oil lamp walk out of the corridor and salute her.

"Gui'an!"

"Gui'an, are you?" Obviously the person in front of him knew him, but Odoxia didn't know what was going on for a while. Could it be that Antonia brought them here just to see him?

The old man also saw the puzzling of the emperor in front of him, so he said: "It seems that His Royal Highness has forgotten me... I am the former head of the Vadarutai Garrison, Semiius."

When the old man said the name, Odoxia let out a cry of surprise. Of course, she still remembers the old man who had been in the imperial court. She was trusted by her parents, but she didn’t expect to see her for a few years. Now the other party has become A humble rickety old man.

Semiius looked at the emperor’s surprised reaction and gave a wry smile. After returning from the tribe led by Bulgaria, he chose to retreat because of the pain and handed over the Vadarutai Guard to the young tribe. It's no wonder that His Royal Highness can't recognize himself. Semiius didn't care, and said, "His Royal Highness, the person you want to see is inside." After that, the old man leaned aside and pointed to the deep corridor where he came under the light of the oil lamp in his hand. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Looking at this situation and this scene, although I still don’t understand what’s going on, accompanied by Sir Antonia and Sir Baptiste, Odosia chose to follow Semiius through the promenade. Arrived in front of a room.

"His Royal Highness, please also meet with the people inside alone." Semiius said.

After looking at Antonia's affirmative gaze behind her, the emperor, who took a breath, also let go of all her worries and agreed to go in alone.

The door to the room was slowly opened, and Odoxia stepped into the room that was not too spacious, and at a glance she saw that someone inside was already waiting for her with her back turned.

It was the same old man's voice, but compared to the previous Semiius, the tone was obviously stronger and stronger.

"It's been a long time, Your Highness Odoxia!"

The old man with his back to the emperor slowly got up and faced Odoxia and showed his true face. He was dressed in the white robe of a priest, even though it was not very visible in the dim candlelight, but Odoxia Ya still recognized each other.

"John...Grand Master?!"

Mi He Mi. Standing in front of him is the unknown Orthodox patriarch John X after the fall of Constantinople, who was born and baptized by himself, Odosia would never admit his mistake. But when she saw each other, her confusion and surprise quickly turned into anger.

"Why are you here?" Odoxia, who questioned, was obviously unfriendly to the appearance of the Grand Master in front of him.

And John X seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He faintly replied: "I understand your feelings, Your Highness, but I have already been to Thessaloniki, and now I am the only one who can solve your plight. "
