Chapter Forty-Seven: Antipater, the Prison Lord

Returning to his eastern hall, it may be that Philotas reported to Alexander about the ambush of Mo Jiu, and His Majesty King Alexander ordered the whole army to conduct a self-examination, and Jiu'er sent two more male attendants with strong martial arts.

Philotas is really hard to distinguish between good and evil, and he didn't reveal to His Majesty Jiu'er's unexpected performance on the chariot that day, although he was still as "talkative" as ever, but his eyes were obviously a lot calmer in the past two days.

In the blink of an eye, it was the early winter season, the girls prepared a thick wool cloak for Jiu'er, the dormitory was covered with a gorgeous Persian carpet, and the walls were also hung with thick tapestries, the whole room gave people a warm feeling, Jiu'er sat by the small stove every day and tasted the beautiful beer of ancient Greece, the small day was very comfortable, and the mood was better.

Hephaestion hasn't come to chat with Mo Jiu for a few days, he is a general who cares about people, being with him makes Jiu'er feel like a brother, Hephaestion must be out with General Perdicas to collect food and salary for the Eastern Crusade, Hephaestion is a capable reserve general, as long as he is there, Macedonia has never lacked food, and the logistics are properly arranged.

A general named Amintas has been out to gather troops for the expedition, Jiu'er is in a hurry every time he sees him, Amintas, who has just returned to Pera in the past few days, has set off to reconnoiter the "enemy situation" in various parts of West Asia, this middle-aged general, medium build, short mustache, brown curly hair, deep and small eyes, at first glance is a clever person.

Jiu'er has met a lot of legion generals in the capital of Pera during these days, and it really looks like he is going to be stationed here for more than ten years, and the generals have a good impression of this royal maid from Syria, and Mo Jiu, who is lively and humorous and a little big, has won a lot of praise from the generals.

These days, Alexander had done enough preliminary work for the crusade, and carried out the predetermined plan step by step in an orderly manner.

The martial arts that Seleucus taught to Jiu'er have almost learned, and he has returned to his original attitude of not mixing any emotions with Mo Jiu.

Seleucus and Jiu'er said something when they hugged each other and cried in the martial arts training ground that day, which made Jiu'er understand why General Seleucus was calm and secretly concerned about him, on the battlefield of Thebes, Mo Jiu must have shouted the name of the overlord in a drowsy state, so Seleucus has always been very conflicted in his heart.

It turned out that Mo Jiu came from Egypt, and his first foothold was the battlefield of Thebes, but for some reason, there was no memory of Jiu'er there.

Today is rare to be idle, Mo Jiu opened the girls, sat on the ground in his own dormitory, his hands were enchanted, and a thin layer of aura covered Jiu'er in it, these days, Jiu'er felt that there was always some surging dark power around him to monitor himself, using the enchantment to avoid the eyes and ears of others, today she wanted to see Xuanye's situation, Mo Jiukou recited a spell, and got in touch with the bird spirit on Xuanye's side, in a moment, now the talisman in Mo Jiu's bedroom has a white light flashing, and the next Persian court mirror image appeared in front of Mo Jiu's eyes, This should be Xuanye's dormitory, there was a rapid gasp from the mirror side, the bed was scattered with messy clothes, and two naked people were there....

Frightened, Jiu'er hurriedly covered his eyes, and scolded in his heart: This Xuanye, if you don't want a face in broad daylight, no wonder he will go to his mother-in-law to divinate Chunmeng, he is not a good bird in the first place.

Jiu'er hurriedly withdrew the charm, it seems that he is living quite nourishing there, and he doesn't need to care about himself, so be it.

Mo Jiu got up and threw himself into bed, sometimes he really wanted to be like that kid in Xuanye, learn to be at ease with what happened and enjoy life.

Lying on the bed, Mo Jiu suddenly remembered Mother-in-law Nipa, who hadn't seen each other for two centuries, and it was her mother-in-law who led her to the past life, how could she disappear for so long?

"Miss, General Antipater wants to see you." As soon as he lay on the bed, Ling'er reported outside, Mo Jiu sat up from the bed, he has a personal life, even if he wants to be as idle as Xuanye, no one has to disturb him.

Of course, her Mo Jiuyi's ability, people like this are generally very busy, unlike Xuanye, what can she do, don't you have to live a "comfortable" life, thinking of this, Mo Jiu had a comforting smile on his face.

"Miss, General Antipater wants to see you, have you seen it yet, let me know?"

Ignoring Ling'er's report for a while, Ling'er reminded again, and Jiu'er woke up and hurriedly replied: "Hurry up and invite the old general in." ”

Antipater is a well-respected minister of the prison state of Macedonia, a domineering old general, Mo Jiu occasionally sees him in the court, basically never spoke, what can I do to see her today?

Jiu'er walked out of the dormitory and came to the hall of the east hall, and from the open door of the hall, Mo Jiu saw an old man with a burly figure and a faint luster like a copper plate shining towards the hall.

The old man has deep eye sockets, a pair of brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and three locks of mustache on the side of his mouth, this is the majestic and capable Macedonian general Antipater, the 62-year-old old general, in His Majesty's expedition to Asia, suppressed the rebellion of powerful Athens and Sparta, and of course he also has a fighting eldest son - Cassander.

The old general's voice was like a bell, and the voice had already reached Mo Jiu's ears before he entered the inner hall, "Haha, the female worshipper..." ”

Mo Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, not to mention her Mo Jiu, even His Majesty Alexander also has great respect for the old general, Mo Jiu did not dare to slack off, his face was full of smiles, "Old General Antipater, you can torture the juniors, it should be me to visit you, but you are entangled in government affairs, and I don't want to bother." ”

Mo Jiu motioned for the old general to enter the hall and take a seat.

Antipater waved his hand, "The Nine Daughters of Mer, I have been observing you these days, and I have found that you are a very special person, as if you are neither an enemy nor a friend, the old man is not wrong." ”

Jiu'er smiled and nodded, they all said that people are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, the old saying is right, it was actually seen through by this old man, it seems that he is still a little tender.

"My visit today has nothing to do with Macedonia, I just want to chat with you, if the Nine Daughters of Moore are not busy, let's go to the courtyard and have a casual chat?" It's rare for this majestic general to be able to speak to himself in such a peaceful tone, Mo Jiu is a model of respecting the old and loving the young, so let's say a few words.

Jiu'er waved his hand to signal Ling'er to drink, the ancient Greeks drank alcohol, and the best drink to entertain guests was beer, and there were more than 70 kinds of beer at that time.

Mo Jiu followed the old general to chat casually in the courtyard, Ling'er came with two large glasses of barley beer, Mo Jiu took the wine glass, raised the wine glass with a white porcelain gilt base and signaled to drink first as a respect, I don't know if the etiquette at that time was like this, anyway, it was all drinking, just drink it in her Mo Jiu's way.

"The lady is so bold that she doesn't even use a straw." The old general Antipater smiled at Jiu'er, who smiled back embarrassedly, forgetting on a whim that this drink called beer should be drunk with a straw in the cup at this moment.

Jiu'er picked up the straw and took a small sip, it was really awkward to drink beer with a straw for the first time.

"It's nice to be young, always doing something interesting." The old general smiled lovingly.

This old general is very different from the Antipater that Jiu'er saw in the temple, less proud and more like an old grandfather next door talking to himself.

"Old general, we've been talking about family things for so long, just say what you have to do, you are so busy, you will never run here for no reason to chat with me as a yellow-haired girl."

Jiu'er's ancient and modern Chinese and foreign language style, listening to the old general Huo Ran laughed: "I didn't misread you, refreshing, then I'll say it directly, my Antipater family is sparsely populated, and at the age of 47, my wife gave birth to my first son, which is Cassander, have you seen it?" ”

Antipater looked sideways at Mo Jiu, Jiu'er nodded his head, a 47-year-old son was considered an old son at that time, no wonder Cassander was so arrogant.

"This child has been smart and wise since he was a child, proficient in martial arts, and at the age of 15, he fought with his old man and made many achievements."

Jiu'er looked at the old man who wanted to praise his son with all the words and words, and said in his heart: These are the biological parents.

"Lord Prisoner, Major General Cassander, is indeed a young hero, otherworldly, and I have noticed him since I first met him." Jiu'er is telling the truth, this young man can't pay attention to it, the key is that he always provokes himself.

"Yes, but people who are too good will have weaknesses, this is the purpose of the old man chatting with you today," Lord Jian Guo paused, and Mo Jiu looked at him in surprise, curious about what the old general was going to say next, since he was so good, what else was there to worry about.

"This child, too competitive, every day thinking about surpassing His Majesty the King, so that the old man is very worried, now he is young, His Majesty will not care about him, but my son's character will inevitably give birth to something in the future, knowing that the female ceremonial lord is good at predicting the future, today the old man will ask the female ceremonial adult to foreshadow the future for my son, in case there is any danger, I can take the necessary remedial measures in advance."

After going around in a big circle, Mo Jiu finally understood his intention of coming here today, Jiu'er let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This is easy to do, please Ling Gongzi come to my mansion, and I will give him a divination for the future." ”

Antipater must not have expected Jiu'er to agree to his request so easily, you must know that as a royal maid, except for the orders of His Majesty the King, Mo Jiu generally does not give divination to anyone in private.

"Cassander, come in."

It turns out that this boy is waiting at the gate of the temple.

Hearing the old general's call, Mo Jiu first froze for a moment, then the corners of his mouth raised, and he stepped forward and said to the old general: "Lord Jianguo, you see that you are too polite, let Ling Gongzi wait at the door for so long, why didn't you let him come in with you." Jiu'er pretended to be disgusted.

"If you ask someone to do something, you have to look like you are asking someone to do something, and it should be for him to wait for a while." The tutoring is quite strict.

Dressed in the aqua blue Ionian Heaton robe, Cassander, walked over from the entrance of the hall, with a disdainful expression, Mo Jiu knew in his heart that he must have been escorted by his father, otherwise with his arrogance, he would never come to Mo Jiu to divinate any future.

"It's time to give a salute to the female priestess."

Mo Jiu wanted to bow to him, but while Antipater was not paying attention, Jiu'er raised his eyebrows, made a look, and signaled Cassander to be honest.

"Just ask Major General Cassander and the old general to come in with me." Jiu'er smiled at the old general Antipater and made a gesture of please.
