At this time, a guard soldier suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in, with a certain terrifying tone, "The emperor's official has arrived!" ”

"Don't panic, what kind of character is the Qin official? What is the purpose? George quickly calmed the scene.

"Now it is known that the great eunuch of the court, Little Bird Nicode, brought ashore from Nicomedia by ship with only ten cavalrymen, and he also entrusted the detachment of the Frontier to convey the emperor's letter to you in advance." After the soldier finished speaking, he handed the piece into the hands of the warden master.

"What do you think?" The warden questioned Kabeamia and his lieutenant, Cranmer.

Then the two agreed that, as the emperor said in his letter, the eunuch had come to the army to offer condolences, and he had brought a lot of gold and silver to reward the soldiers, and all the procedures were very normal, and we did not need to panic too much, and we should not be too alarmed, because the emperor had just defeated the Pechenegs in the north, so he hoped that the warden would gain a foothold in Minor, and the emperor continued to advance with the army to Epirus to deal with the Normans.

"And we took this opportunity to establish ourselves in Nicaea and Trabizon, and by the way a large number of Tevris followers marched south in Thrace and laid siege to Constantinople. Force Alexios to abdicate, and then you will be the Emperor, Your Excellency the Warden. Cranmer said excitedly.

"Well, Asia Minor is the foundation of the empire, Komnenos and the Ducasse family are from there, but no one understands my hard work, since I don't understand, then I will do it independently, the imperial throne and the purple lion palace have always been inhabited by capable people, I have obtained the heart of the army, and I have won the hearts of the believers and people of the entire Minor, and I have met the qualifications for the shield, not to mention that I still have the legal system in the imperial capital." Finally, George added the last sentence,

"There is no such thing as a successful rebellion in this world, because if the rebellion succeeds, who would dare to call it a 'rebellion'?"

The next day, the jubilant Commander Theognes rode out of the barracks, and after about twenty miles of travel, saw the caravan with the curtains and flags, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said to the great eunuch of the court, Nickdemia, "Your Excellency the Warden has set up a battle in the barracks to welcome the arrival of the Grand Eunuch." ”

"You've worked hard, Your Excellency. To tell you the truth, I have been walking in this wilderness for many days, and the Indian rosewood boxes in the vehicle are full of treasures from the warden and the soldiers. The "little bird" who sat on his shoulder looked kindly, and then pointed out the box to the captor Theognes to look at.

Diognis smiled innocently, then straddled his horse, turned his horse's head, and automatically escorted himself beside the convoy of eunuchs, and walked slowly towards the camp by the lake of Nicaea in the setting sun.

One by one, the trumpets sounded, "Gawain, put on the helmet and put on the chain mail, the Red Guards will take on the duties of the guard of honor in front of the camp gate, and welcome the arrival of the great eunuch." Hearing this, Gawain immediately got busy, and then the sixth column in which he was, lined up with the rest of the guard warriors, stood by the trench in front of the camp gate.

When the eunuch came to the camp gate with his shoulders on his shoulder, at the sound of the welcoming trumpet, the old man's eyes swept towards the ranks of the Red Hand Guards, and he stretched out his withered fingers, crossed over the heads of many people, and fell directly on Gawain, who was standing in the sixth column and wearing a nose helmet under the military flag. Gawain, come here. ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were secretly pointing at him, Gawain met the cold light that shot out of the big eunuch's swollen eyes, and felt that his shoulders were exploding, this old guy was so terrifying, not only could he remember him in thousands of chances, but also remember his name so clearly, and he could also recognize himself at a glance among these two hundred and eighty people.

"Yes." Gao Wen was neither salty nor light, lifted the nose guard on his hat and helmet, and then walked out of the queue without hurrying, stood in front of the eunuch, and welcomed the head of the royal wardrobe.

"Follow me, you and I are old friends, and you will be temporarily transferred as a guard." The eunuch craned his shoulders and laughed like a bird, and then Gawain walked with Theognes on his shoulders and into the barracks, which was lined with thousands of soldiers and flags.

At the same time, at the camp gate, on the mule cart, which was advancing to the cheers of the soldiers, a man dressed as a guard jumped down very quickly, and stood in front of Farov without knowing it.

"Your Excellency Imperial Brother!" Farov was surprised and said nothing.

Result Isaac. Komnenos stepped forward and knocked on Farov's armor, and the other party immediately understood and stopped making a sound.

Soon, all the soldiers in the barracks opened the rosewood box sent by the eunuch, which was full of glittering treasures and gold coins, and immediately cheered through the camp, and in the camp of the chief warden, the eunuch was in a good mood to raise the emperor's edict. Pararogus immediately knelt down with his staff, "Your Majesty is determined to bestow on you the newly created title 'Sebastoprat'. ”

George looked up with a furrowed brow, his expression full of confusion, because he really didn't understand the meaning of the title.

Then the eunuch gave an explanation, and told the warden clearly, "This title and rank are higher than those of Caesar and Augustus, as evidenced by the edict of His Majesty." ”

Just as the warden was about to thank the grace, the eunuch added, "Then, does the Emperor hope that His Excellency Sebastoprat will lead an army to the aid of the imperial capital and Gallipoli in time to exterminate the Zahas bandits?" ”

"Please bear with me, the goal of the army now is to continue to recover Trabizon and Anatolia, so please bear with your Majesty for the time being, Zahas is just a disease of ringworm."

Gawain's fingers moved suddenly, and he felt the rosary hanging from the Sword of Phosphorus Fire make a low chirp that only he could feel, and he felt some kind of uneasiness permeating the entire tent. Then his eyes looked around the tent, and most of them, including the captors, were still unaware.

Nikedemia's face froze, his hand slowly raised, and then he suddenly touched his chest, turning into a smiling expression, "That's the case, I will show it to Your Majesty." Then he quietly handed George a small note.

The warden quickly looked at it, and the word "hometown" was written on it, and then he understood, stood up with a smile, and replied clearly to the eunuch, "Some of the fattest estates in Paphlagonia that have just been recovered have long been donated to you and your nephew. ”

"When people get old, they always want to return to their hometown." The Grand Eunuch laughed again, and then he pushed the boat down the river, "Finally, the Emperor needs you to swear loyalty to His Majesty in a monastery to ensure that you are responsible for the title you have been given, and you know that there must be such a ceremony, which is stipulated in the ancient book of etiquette. ”

"There is no monastery in the barracks, but there are on the outskirts of the city, and I will call the guards to protect you and I will go together." George wasn't stupid either.
