Chapter 91: The Prince's Armor

When it was time to burn down the palace, people who were dissatisfied with themselves had already emerged, General Parmanuel changed from appreciating the nine daughters of Mel to ignoring the women's ceremony, and all the veterans in the army looked at Jiu'er strangely, even Perdiccas, Ptolemy, Cosimarcos, ignored Jiu'er, only the soldiers who advocated burning the palace saw Jiu'er as a relative, in their eyes, Mo Jiu became a hero who burned the palace, the more so, the more panicked Jiu'er became.

Mo Jiu didn't explain too much, if she didn't want to burn down the palace at all, it was the emperor who misunderstood, and she would inevitably shift the responsibility for burning the palace to Alexander the Great, and the burning of Persepolis was the most regrettable thing in Alexander's life, just like Jiu'er's overlord burning Afang Palace, so that future generations would not regret it.

Let Jiu'er bear a little infamy for the emperor, and let Jiu'er be this bad guy is also a "hero".

In this life, it turned out that she Jiu'er "played" a negative role, and finally found her own position, Mo Jiu teased herself in her heart.

But in my heart is indescribable bitterness, the road of this life will become more and more difficult to walk, and there are thorny undercurrents everywhere.

The soldiers carried torches and piled flammable olive oil, wood, cloth, and everything that could be burned on the periphery of the palace.

After a while, I heard the crackling of crackling, the rumble of the collapse of the stone pillars, and the cheers of the soldiers, "Revenge!" Avenge! ”

Persepolis became a sea of fire, Mo Jiu looked at the sea of fire in front of him expressionlessly, and witnessed the destruction of this magnificent palace that countless descendants yearn for, which can be regarded as an "honor", unconsciously, the corners of Jiu'er's mouth actually hooked up a smile, it was a helpless smile.

Mo Jiu felt a sharp blade-like gaze staring at him fiercely, and looking sideways, it was Seleucus's cold gaze.

Jiu'er smiled at General Sai and said in his heart: My general, you should hate me from now on.

It's okay, it's the best ending.

The palace had been burned, and the legions embarked on a journey to continue the crusade, first after Darius III of Medea, and at the same time Alexander ordered a part of the allied army to disband, let them go home with full pay, and gave each of them an additional reward of 2,000 talons, of course, there were those who were willing to stay and continue to earn salaries, the emperor welcomed, so that some of the old and infirm soldiers "retired" and went home, and Alexander ordered the Guards to escort these soldiers home.

Most of the soldiers remained, and Alexander reorganized them into the rest of the troops; The Emperor ordered Parmanuel to escort the Persian treasure and give it to Hapalas, who was in charge of the finances in the rear of the empire.

The Emperor then pursued Darius III with lightly armed troops, leaving Parmanuel's son Nicanor to follow as closely as possible. As a result, Darius III was killed by his cronies on the way, and when Alexander arrived, he saw only the body of Darius III, so Alexander the Great ordered Darius III to be sent back to the royal tomb in Persepolis for burial.

At this point, the Persian Empire, which was the first in history to dominate Asia, Africa and Europe and was strong for several centuries, collapsed, and the Persian Empire, which had huge wealth, was buried at the hands of Darius III.

In fact, Darius III was not at fault in any other way except that he was militarily weak and incompetent, and of course he led the invincible Persian Empire on the road to destruction, which he could not explain to his ancestors; He was too arrogant on the battlefield, brought all the harem family members to the battlefield to watch the battle, and fled the battlefield alone after defeating regardless of the safety of his mother, wife, and children, which he could not compare with the emperor.

The 500,000 mighty army of Persia was completely destroyed, and in the case of an unclear situation, the undead army that was facing the battle in front of him was abandoned, and he fled, leaving the elite army who worked for the empire to fight alone, and so many bright young men in their prime died tragically under the incompetence of the commander, this emperor should be killed.

Thinking of those handsome undead army boys on the battlefield, it makes people cry.

However, Darius's ending was quite perfect, the emperor transported his body back to the imperial tomb to live with his ancestors, his mother and wife were well arranged by Alexander, and Darius III's children were well raised and educated by Alexander, and enjoyed the same treatment as in the palace.

The next day, Alexander received a report from the spies in front of him that Perthas, who had killed Darius III, had proclaimed himself Artherxes and had set himself king.

The Emperor ordered the Greek legions to continue the pursuit of Perthas.

Unfortunately, during the march, General Nicano fell ill and died, and Alexander was very sad, and of course even more sad was Nicano's father, Parmanuel.

At this time, the rear came to report that Aria supervised the rebellion, so the legion marched quickly, and traveled 600 terraces in two days, exhausting many horses, and the result was doomed, the rebels were killed, and those who escaped were captured.

In terms of leading troops to fight, Alexander was completely a desperate Saburo and created countless marching miracles.

The army then advanced towards the area of Zarangaya.

In the barracks in this area, Philotas found Mo Jiu, and invited Alexander the Great, in front of all the soldiers, he turned his face again, this general, the speed of turning his face is indeed faster than turning the book.

Jiu'er stood innocently in front of everyone, coldly watching what was going to happen next.

Philotas held up a piece of armor and asked loudly to the Nine Daughters of Mercer in front of the soldiers, "Whose armor do you say this armor belongs to?" ”

It was Xuanye's armor, Jiu'er remembered very well that this armor had been hidden in the suitcase of the army by himself, how did Philotas find it?

Jiu'er glanced at Philotas, who couldn't admit that he was killed at this time, bit his lip and said, "How do I know.... It's not mine. ”

Mo Jiu doesn't lie, and he feels that he is not confident enough.

"This is what I found from your suitcase, an armor of a Persian prince, you said that you are a royal maid from Macedonia, what are you doing hiding a Persian armor?"

The soldiers around him stared at the female priest tightly, and at this time they were all waiting for Jiu'er's answer.

"Who can prove that this is mine, who turned it out of my box?" Jiu'er coughed dryly, obviously still weak.

"Don't change the subject, it doesn't matter who turned this armor out, the important thing is that someone saw that during the battle on the Granicus River, you talked with the owner of this armor for a long time, and then you disappeared for two years, and finally suddenly appeared in the desert, how do you explain? Who are you and what are your intentions? ”

Philotas's words pointed out the direction to Mo Jiu, Arestander, it must be this "old thing", except for Ling'er and Fei'er, only he saw Mo Jiu and Xuanye meet in the Granicus River, this person is really difficult, and he is making bad things behind his back, it seems that Jiu'er will be even more passive if he doesn't make a move.

Mo Jiu cleared his throat and said loudly, "First of all, this armor is not mine, who wants to frame me and stand up to me." ”

Mo Jiu knew that it must be Arestander, he would never stand up, and such an old fox would definitely not put himself in the sun for others to pay attention to.

"If you don't come out, you're planting; To answer your second question, General, why am I missing? I have to ask you this, how did you protect the important people of the empire as a commander of the guards, when I was kidnapped by unknown people, and I finally got rid of them and returned to the legion, and you still doubt me. Mo Jiu, who calmed down, took a bite.

"Hijacking, why haven't I heard you say anything about it?" Philotas continued to ask.

"I'm afraid of causing trouble to the emperor, it's all in the past, so don't mention it. Thanks to my cleverness, I ran out. "It's normal for a few bandits to pop up in the era of war and chaos, and this reason is also sufficient.

"Why did they kidnap you? Besides, your martial arts are so strong, who can hijack you? Philotas still didn't believe Jiu'er's words.

"I'm as beautiful as a flower, people have taken a fancy to me, what's wrong? My martial arts are strong, and the other party's martial arts are even higher, and there are many people. Jiu'er pouted, half-closed her eyes and began to flaunt cheekiness.

"Forget it, don't always make these little things out of nothing, I believe that the royal maid, he will never do anything harmful to the king." The lifesaver finally spoke. After sinking for so long before speaking, the Great Emperor must have had doubts about Jiu'er for a moment just now.

When everyone saw that the Emperor was reproachful, they all shut up, and Philotas went back to his bedchamber in a huff.

As Jiu'er was about to turn around and return to her bedchamber, Seleucus gently patted Jiu'er's arm and motioned for her to stay.

Jiu'er sighed helplessly, it seems that there is still one level to pass.

The people who watched the excitement were all dispersed, leaving only Seleucus and Alexander, the good old man Ptolemy and Hephaestion and the generals were not in the barracks at this time when they went out on errands these days, if they were in that situation just now, they might have said a few words for Jiu'er, especially Hephaestion would definitely believe Jiu'er.

Looking at the cold Seleucus and Alexander the Great, whose face was gentle but clear-eyed, Jiu'er felt a little nervous.

The intentions of these two are obvious, they are not satisfied with Jiu'er's answer just now, although the king has relieved himself, but he wants to know the truth of the matter.

Seleucus just looked at the female priest and didn't speak, Alexander smiled gently, and patted the female priest on the shoulder, "Our imperial priestess is a woman with a secret, from the first Japanese king of your legion, I remember that the first time I saw the female shrine on the battlefield of Thebes was this king, this king wanted to kill them all, but at that time you were a little drowsy, and said a lot of interesting things, this king didn't understand, so let Seleucus stay with you and ask for clarification......"

"Your Majesty, you mean that you were the first to see me?" Jiu'er meant that the emperor was the first person to see her in this life, and Mo Jiu was a little incoherent for a while.

Alexander was a little surprised by Jiu'er's words: "What is the meaning of female worship?" Didn't the king understand? ”

"I mean you were the first to spot me on the battlefield?"

"yes, don't you remember?" Instead, it was Alexander who was asking Mo Jiu.

Jiu'er thought that the first person to see her in this life was Seleucus, but she didn't expect it to be the emperor.

Just like a newborn kitten and puppy, the object that he saw for the first time when he opened his eyes always had a special feeling, Jiu'er smiled and asked: "Emperor, what did Mo Jiu say at that time?" ”
