Chapter 80: Balsin Returns to Rhodes
Mo Jiu rode forward to chase after the king's cavalry team.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......" Jiu'er shouted to Alexander.
His Majesty turned around and slowed down, and Seleucus looked helplessly at the king's side at the frizzy Nine of the Nine Daughters of Mer.
Even Bar Xin, who was following Alexander's side, shook her head helplessly, what a noble status the royal maid is, how can it be such a character, it is not inconsistent with the identity, it is not compatible with the side at all.
"Is there anything going on with the Imperial Maiden?" His Majesty said mildly with a smile.
"Queen Statela I has had a hard time marching all the way, so let me escort her back to Persepolis first, where I will join Your Majesty." Jiu'er took a deep breath, but it was time to catch up with His Majesty's team.
"This is separated from Persepolis by several city-states that we have not yet conquered, such as Babylon, Susa, and Euxiri, and now that we are facing one of the most difficult and important battles in history, you will go to Persepolis and wait for your own king? Is the king's royal maid exhausted? If our battle with Darius does not go well at this time, are you not in danger? Alexander couldn't help but laugh, tilting his head to meet Seleucus' gaze and smiling again.
"How can it not be smooth, the history books record it clearly, and what goes well can't go any further." Mo Jiu muttered to himself.
"What? What book does it say...... What the? Ptolemy on the right side of the Emperor looked at the Nine Maidens of Mercer suspiciously.
"Oh, yes...... It is the hexagram that shows that the emperor is an undefeated emperor, with only victory, no defeat. Mo Jiu looked at Alexander affirmatively, and waved his small fist.
Jiu'er didn't panic at this point, Alexander is a veritable god of war, in the past and in the future, a total of thirteen years of war, hundreds of battles, large and small, never lost.
"Your Majesty will not let Queen Statela I return to the capital, and the reason why he brought Darius's family with him was to force Darius to come out to meet him and prevent the king of Persia from escaping." Seleucus explained helplessly.
It seems that Jiu'er's wishful thinking has come to naught, and he has to find another way to find Xuanye's whereabouts.
"But," Alexander said, looking at the Nine Daughters of Mel.
Is there still a chance? Jiu'er stared at the emperor's eyes, and his warm gaze calmed Jiu'er's anxious mood.
"However, Mo Jiu's words reminded the king that it was too hard for women to run around on the battlefield," Mo Jiu nodded vigorously, and Alexander just cherished women.
"Send this king's lovely son back to Rhode Island now, and let her wait there for the news of this king's conquest of the world."
The corners of Jiu'er's mouth twitched, it turned out that it was Sister Bal Xin who cherished her, and Bai was happy.
"The maid in front of the palace, Bal Xin will be escorted by you, and you can rest assured that you are in this king." Although the tone is gentle, it is a royal decree that cannot be changed.
Let the Nine Daughters of Melbl send Barshin back to Rhode Island? Although Rhodes has now been conquered by Alexander and incorporated into Greek territory, Jiu'er still has to go to Xuanye, and she can't go to Rhodes with her sister.
"I beg your pardon, the Emperor, I can't go to Rhodes, but I promise that Sister Bar Xin will return to Rhodes safely."
The generals present all looked at the Nine Maidens of Moor, in fact, Jiu'er also understood that going to Rhode Island would be much safer than fighting with the Emperor, but Jiu'er couldn't leave the mission now.
Mo Jiu pondered for a moment and came up with a way to deal with it, "Your Majesty, just now, just now I had a premonition that there would be a total lunar eclipse in two days, and this total lunar eclipse is difficult to distinguish, so I must wait by Your Majesty's side." "The ancients were very superstitious, and there is no better reason for this.
Historical records record that there was a total lunar eclipse before the last head-to-head confrontation between Alexander and Darius, and Alexander trusted the Nine Daughters of Melmer very much, and His Majesty would never hesitate as long as the Nine Sons said that something would happen.
"Then let the brunette Clitus escort Barshin back to Rhode Island."
"Your Majesty, I don't want to go back to Rhode Island, I want to follow you." Sister Barcin's sister looked at Alexander delicately.
"Ke'er people, listen to the king's words, I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be, in order to ensure the safety of you and our children, you must go back."
What the? Is Balcin's sister pregnant? Jiu'er's heart moved, although she knew that there would be a day, but when she heard that she was pregnant, Jiu'er was still a little inexplicably jealous, and then sighed long, everyone who has a lover can stay together happily and leave the crystallization of love. Why is he so miserable, and none of the love tribulations in several lifetimes have achieved positive results.
Bar Cin did not resist the Emperor, and finally had to agree to return to Rhodes.
Before leaving, Bal Xin called Mo Jiu aside and gave Jiu'er a parting hug, "Sister, my sister left you today, I don't know when I will see my sister again, thank you for your companionship and understanding of my sister these days, I didn't look down on my sister because of my uncertain position, General Sai is a great general by the emperor's side, and one day he will marry you." My sister is not around, you must take care of yourself. We'll see you tomorrow. ”
Hiding in Bal Xin's arms, Jiu'er smiled bitterly, in fact, Sister Bal Xin didn't know that Jiu'er and her, as well as His Majesty, would be goodbye forever.
In the past few days, Mo Jiu has seen Alexander's love for Bal Xin, and also felt Bal Xin's sister's deep affection for the Emperor.
There is a time to be together, but there is no time to be separated.
Human things are like this, good times always fly fast; is like Jiu'er's third son, just such a short period of beauty, which has caused Mo Jiu to reminisce for several generations.
"Sister, don't worry, I will take care of myself, and you must also take care of yourself and the baby in your belly." Jiu'er gently stroked Bal Xin's belly, a line of tears came out of her eyes, and she quickly turned around and wiped it secretly.
Only Mo Jiu knew that the child was only a few years old, and eight years later, in the succession war, the ghost-eyed boy Cassander fixed the life of the "baby" at the age of seven.
Seeing Bal Xin caressing her stomach with happiness on her face, Jiu'er really wanted time to stop at this moment forever.
"Sister, take care of Your Majesty for me!" Bal Xin looked at Mo Jiu with reluctance in her eyes, her charming eyes flashed with a little light, Jiu'er knew that her sister was a hundred reluctant to give up on Her Majesty, so a beautiful man surrounded by light, who would be willing to leave half a step.
Jiu'er held Bal Xin's sister's hand tightly, this beautiful woman who recognized herself as her sister was Jiu'er's first sister in her life, with her, Jiu'er could open her heart without scruples, and even lean on her sister's arms to be coquettish, every time she held hands with her, Mo Jiu's heart would be inexplicably warm, and it seemed to be fused with Bal Xin's blood, and there was a feeling of huddle for warmth.
"As long as you are here, my sister believes that Your Majesty will be safe."
Bal Xin's last sentence seemed to pierce Jiu'er's heart, Mo Jiu held his sister's hand and shrank it, 'As long as Jiu'er is here, Your Majesty will definitely be safe', what a ridiculous inference, what an ironic parting message.
Mo Jiu is the one who came to take His Majesty's life, and the final outcome of this encounter may be because of the appearance of Jiu'er, in a sense, the king lived for a year.
"Barcin, I'm sorry."
Mo Jiu held back his tears, left the last sentence in his heart, raised his horsewhip fiercely, and galloped in the direction of the legion.
Jiu'er is not a person from this era, she Mo Jiu is here for the third son, and the rest of the people have nothing to do with Jiu'er.
I don't know if I dare not look at Bal Xin's trusting eyes, or if Jiu'er is really an emotionless person.
The war horse carried Mo Jiutou and ran forward without looking back.
Bal Xin, who was left behind her, looked at the decisive back of the nine daughters of Moore in confusion.
She would never know what was really going on in the heart of this royal maid Mo Erjiu, who was loved by Bal Xin's own sister at this time.
Clitus sent Barshin back to Rhodes, and Alexander didn't show much reluctance.
He was always lukewarm to women, probably because he hadn't met anyone who haunted Alexander's dreams.
The Greek legions marched all the way to Darius III, but the next afternoon the soldiers crossed the turbulent Tigris River and spent the night repairing on the opposite bank of Tigris.
The lunar eclipse arrived as scheduled, and Alexander was once again impressed by the Nine Daughters of Melburn.
Jiu'er pretended to keep the promise made two days ago and never left His Majesty's side, and Arestander's sharp eyes made Mo Jiu feel that he seemed to know all the secrets of Jiu'er; Arestand then divined the auspiciousness of the total lunar eclipse for the Emperor, and the result of the divination was that His Majesty would surely win a great victory.
Such a perfect divination result lifted the morale of the soldiers, and they were eager to find Darius III for a happy war.
On the fourth day of the river crossing, Alexander had the old general Parman march in battle formation behind with his baggage troops, and the emperor himself advanced at full speed with his fellow cavalry, royal squadrons, and scouts.
Alexander in a state of battle is as majestic as a god, no one dares to disobey his orders, the nine daughters of Mel followed Parmaneuux's team, did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary, the embarrassed eyes of the old general Parmanuel beside him couldn't help but glance at everyone in the team, it seemed that tens of thousands of soldiers under his control were under his supervision, this tall and strong, strong old general, for the emperor's crusade to the east.
Mo Jiu humbly followed behind the old general, and remembered Li Bai's sentence: The array is exhausted, and the fog in the camp is empty.
No matter what era Jiu'er is, he should be full of respect in the face of such a brave and good old general who has fought all his life.
"Imperial Maiden, I heard that you were a student of the poet Pinda, and that you were a witch in Syria before you became a teacher. This is not surprising, witchcraft is prevalent in Syria, and witches are also common, but since they are witches, why would they worship a poet as a teacher? ”
This question caught Mo Jiu off guard, it was so long ago, Jiu'er thought that no one would remember her miscellaneous "life experience" anymore.
This Parmanuel had just worshipped him, and he gave Jiu'er such a problem.
Mo Jiu paused and replied lightly, "Because I like poetry." ”
"Oh, how come I've never heard you sing poetry?"
After chasing after him, they all say that people are old and treacherous, and this old man is really difficult to deal with.
If you don't show some real skills, you can't deter him, Jiu'er, a clansman from the country of poetry, is there still a lack of poetry?
Jiu'er rolled up the wide sleeves of his robe, looking like he was doing a big job, the wide sleeves were too loose and slipped down, Jiu'er smiled dryly, and peeked at the old general Parmanuel who was smiling slightly, this old man was much calmer than his disgusted son Philotas.
