On the vast blue sea, several merchant ships loaded with goods are moving, schools of fish are swimming happily in the water, and there are three or five seagulls flying and hovering in the sky.

And the small waves stirred up by the layers on the sea are like white lotuses, and the leisurely clouds in the sky are floating aimlessly in the air.

A knight in a blue robe stood at the bow of the ship, looking out into the distance of Constantinople, which was gradually becoming clearer, and several knights in the same company slowly walked up, their mouths wide open silently expressing their shock.

At this time, you can imagine those who have never seen Constantinople looking up at it with their eyes fixed on it, with its tall walls, the majestic towers that surround the city, the ornate palaces and huge churches at the top.

When merchant ships landed in the Galata business district on the northern outskirts of the city, these Jerusalemites entered the great city.

"You have not seen such splendid buildings in any city since the creation of the world!" The leading knight exclaimed.

"If the city could be planted with the holy cross, the name of God would be glorified and glorified, and the throne of the Pope would be honoured and benefited......"

"Guy, you're crazy, you're not ashamed to speak out here, if the Romans hear it, our mission may end before it has even begun!"

One of the blue-robed knights grabbed the hand of the man who spoke and scolded angrily, this man's inattention made the knight a little worried about whether the mission could be successfully completed.

"Barrian, you must know that I am the official envoy of the kingdom, you better respect me!"

Guy unceremoniously pushed the old knight away, his unruly face could not see the respect due to the important ministers of the kingdom, and the arrogance of the French knight was not pulled down at all.

A group of knights with the banner of the Roman eagle drove from afar, led by a court eunuch who was none other than Licinius, who came to lead them to turn over and dismount, and bowed slightly.

"I greetings to the envoys from Jerusalem, His Majesty the Emperor has heard of your arrival, and has set up a banquet in the court to wash away the dust for you."

"So what are you waiting for! We'll go over now! Guy's frivolous behavior displeased the eunuch, and he felt even more disgusted with the rumored Franks.

……

……

……

In the evening, the court feast of Constantinople begins, and the waiters who come and go carry trays of delicacies on their shoulders.

In the luxurious hall, the lights are bright, the guests gather, the glamorous Greek dancers are fragrant, and the wine between the beams and pillars is fragrant, which makes people intoxicated.

Alexios was also at the feast, and he frequently raised his glass to greet Guy of Lusignan and Barian of Ibeline, and the two messengers from the Celestial Dynasty poured a few glasses of wine, already slightly drunk.

The two sides saluted each other and chatted with some unnutritious empty words, until the emperor saw that the time was almost up, clapped his hands gently, the dancers and waiters pushed down, and the inconsequential guests also dispersed consciously, and it was time to get to the point.

Alexios raised his glass and drank it down, putting his glass down before asking.

"Since the death of the Emperor and King Amalek, our two countries have not interacted with each other for almost four years, and now the great King of Jerusalem has sent an envoy to my court, presumably there is something important!"

Barian looked at Guy and wanted to stand up and reply, but Guy took over directly: "Your Majesty the Emperor is right!" His Majesty King Baldwin has sent us in the hope of continuing our alliance with the King.

Then everyone fights Saladin together! As long as Your Majesty sends troops, and the power of our kingdom, we will be able to clear the infidels soon, and Egypt, Syria, and Baghdad will all return to the arms of God! ”

Alexios looked at this noble knight with a big tongue, his flushed face was not a little ashamed, and he was ashamed to say that he wanted to defeat Saladin, if he didn't know the background of this person, the emperor might have responded directly.

"If His Majesty King Baldwin said this, I would have answered it immediately, but you, are not qualified enough!"

The emperor looked at the already somewhat drunk man with contempt, and directly rejected his arrogant proposal, if he really did what he said, it would definitely be a huge disaster.

The Emperor was sure that they would be slaughtered by the Saracen cavalry in the desert, just as this fool did in history!

"What do you mean! Yes! With his tongue wide open, Guy directly overturned the table where the wine and food were placed, and glared at the emperor angrily, his movements were so great that the guards around him had already surrounded him.

What Alexios didn't expect was that this man's wine was so bad, and just what he wanted to say, Barian on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

He stepped forward and punched Guy in the face, causing Guy to blossom in the face and bleed profusely, and the man fell to the ground and fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, Prince Guy lost his temper when he was drunk, and I apologized to you on his behalf!"

"No, my lord, you don't have to be like this, I have always had good intentions towards the King of Jerusalem and I believe that there will be no rift in the friendship between the two countries!"

The Emperor had great respect for the Guardian of the Holy Land, a man who was not inferior to Baldwind in the Ring of Knighthood, and if he had succeeded to the throne, Jerusalem would not have fallen.

But with a playful smile, Alexios looked at Guy who was dragged out upside down.

"I remember that Prince Guy was married to Princess Sibylla last year, and now that you are a member of the royal family, you will not be reprimanded by King Baldwin!"

Barian didn't intend to hide anything from the Roman emperor, and it was a fact that everyone knew.

"Prince Guy was loved by Madame Agnes and married Princess Sibylla, but His Majesty the Emperor, the king of Jerusalem is His Majesty Baldwin, and the heir to Jerusalem is His Royal Highness Baldwin Jr., the nephew of His Majesty the King!"

Alexios understood, and Barian understood what he said to him, the Knights Hospitaller led by him were the king's faction, and they supported Baldwin Jr. to ascend the throne, and Guy as an outsider, although he was the husband of the royal sister, but his people were not recognized by the original faction in Jerusalem.

The Emperor crossed his hands over his chest and pondered for a while, and Barian said that he still meant to clear up his relationship with Guy, so he could continue to talk to him.

"My lord, although today's dinner is disappointing, but I see that your lord is familiar at first sight, let's go for a walk in the back garden of the palace!"

Alexios initiates a separate invitation, and he also wants to get up close and personal with the guardian of the Holy Land to see this brave knight.

"Of course, Your Majesty, I would also like to have a good conversation with Your Majesty, and His Majesty King Baldwin wants me to bring you his greetings!"

Barian bowed slightly, and put his right hand on his chest in salute.

As the two stepped into the back garden, the hall fell silent.
