Chapter 86: Blonde and Grey Hair?

"I don't care about that kind of thing, I can give more flags to the barracks at any time, and see the giant man eating in my tent - ah, I'm sorry, forget you can't see it." Gawain pointed to Dim, who was munching on the side of the stake, and then stood in front of Nika very oppressively, "Your soldiers thought he was dead, but no, sooner or later, this giant will carry my banner to the top of your city, and you and your five sons will be destroyed alike." ”

"Don't be such a grand duke, it seems that the oath you made with your father is child's play." Prince John bravely stopped Gawain in front of him, even if he wanted to see Gawain's forehead, it was very difficult.

His subtext was: Don't forget, in a year's time, you will have to hand over Seleucia and Cilicia, unless you are as discreditless as the competitive hooligans of the imperial capital, "The wicked and perfidious are doomed to perdition." John added this earnestly.

Gao Wen condescended, looking at the dark-skinned prince, and the fine forehead lines wrinkled slightly, "Yes, you are right, I should follow the spirit of the contract - since I said it, then I will do it." Now that all five Callegos have arrived, I will also withdraw the siege of this fortress. ”

Under the tree, after exchanging vows, Nika took her five untied sons and asked them to step on their horses one after another, "Sooner or later we will return to Sith City and the Valley of the Mutt!" In a year's time, if you dare to continue to disobey Your Majesty, we will be the vanguard, sweeping the whole territory and sweeping you into the Sea of Cyprus. The five Callegos turned their heads at the same time and cursed viciously at Gawain, who was standing there.

Gawain brought his index and middle fingers together and held them in front of his forehead. Says that he will remember the oath of the five Callegos, "Now your two youngest brothers. Having inherited the Ducasse surname, Anna and I would treat us like our own sons. Take good care of him, and hope that the halls and fireplaces of the castle of Muth and the castle of Sith will be loved. ”

In the cold shade of the poplar tree, Gawain walked up to his shoulder, half-knelt down, and stretched out his long right arm, and Agnes stood intently behind him, taking on the role of "overseer", and Gawain was the first to be taken over by Madame Chesser. walked out, and then half knelt down and hugged the Grand Duke and kissed lightly, and whispered, "Inglina is very sad. ”

"Not blonde, it seems to be Merlot's wife." The little sunfish muttered silently behind him. While she was still waiting for the widow to come out, Madame Chiser walked up to her with her skirt through the shadow of the poplar tree, "Gray-haired girl, Ingrid must have mistaken your identity just now. You can't be a princess in purple. ”

Agnes laughed, "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that I can't be a princess, just like you can't be blonde, so how stupid can this Lady Mesadini be?" ”

But she wasn't done with it. His arm, held by Mrs. Chise, was lifted upside down and dragged upside down to the poplar forest. "Hey, hey. What are you doing, what are you going to do to the princess in purple! ”

"Since it's not a princess. If you are not a relevant person, don't stare at others. Qi Se said very sternly, dragging the little sunfish out of the screaming and screaming for many yards, and only in the shadow of the swaying tree, Gawain still had a look of persistence and guilt, half kneeling in front of his shoulder, stretching his arms, and never getting up.

"It's over, now Gawain's evil spear-riding ribbon is going to float again." In Agnes' vision, the scene quickly shrank away

After nightfall, the little sunfish heard the gossip from the guards, and the blonde widow finally got off her shoulder, hugged the Grand Duke and cried, "Anyway, I have to tell Anna the news." Agnes wrote a short letter in Latin, for she felt that it was safe, and the more esoteric the text, the less it would be seen, and then she found the Brotherhood rider with a leather cylinder at the gate of the barracks, which was about to be opened, and was actually a temporary postman, preparing to go to Seleucia, "This is a secret letter from the Grand Duke to the Princess in Purple, do not lose it and open it." Agnes's words were solemn, and the postman knew the princess's royal officer, and after saluting on horseback, he carefully loaded the letter, and then whipped his whip and headed for Seleucia, and if the horses were to run with all their might, it would be an hour's work.

When the cavalry galloped into the acropolis courtyard guarded by the guards with the token in hand, he took out Agnes's secret letter before the bonfire, threw it in an arc, and threw it into the outstretched hand of the guard in front of the colonnade on the second floor, and then the guard jumped up the stairs and was stopped by the fat eunuch at the staircase on the third floor, "To Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Hmph, as expected." In the small worship room, after Anna flattened the letter on the reading platform, she glanced at it a few times, and then walked to the window, in the dark sea and night, the galleys and galleons indicating the flame were rising on the side of the military port, and one by one, slowly entering the moored position, the noisy shouts of the sailors were slow, passing each other on the sea, "The besieging army of Alalmanburg has returned" At this moment, the fat eunuch walked to the porch with the silk curtain, "Your Royal Highness, there are two brocade brothers in charge of the post, I ask for your reception, They said that in the sorting letters, important messages were found from the city of Antioch. ”

"Huh?" With this question in mind, Anna slowly sat down on a chair behind another silk curtain in the dormitory.

Moments later, two members of the Brotherhood, dressed in close-fitting robes and pinned with a silver "croc" badge on their chests, knelt before the princess, holding sealed letters.

Because Seleucia is now the only maritime transit port controlled by pilgrims, many private messages sent back to their hometowns by lords were sent here, and then brought back and sent by passing merchant ships.

And Anna secretly instructed the municipal secretary to find in the pile of letters, the person of high status, "to capture key and valuable information". Not only did the princess do what the princess wanted, but he also used the art of forgeryβ€”with fake seals, delicate paper cutters, aged paper, etc., and about twenty people were in charge of the task: sending the envelopes to the secret room, brazenly opening them and reading them, and then "sealing" them as they were, and sending them back to the Franks or Italy.

"Which lord?"

"Count Stephen of Blois."

"To whom?"

"To his wife, Lady Adella of Blois."

Anna tilted her head a little disappointed, it seemed that it was the Brotherhood agents who invited her for credit, Adela was the youngest daughter of William the Conqueror, and she served as regent of the territory after Stephen's expedition, which was commonplace in the land of the Franks, and what could be worth noting about an ordinary letter to his wife?

But the next words of one of the brotherhoods brought Anna to her senses," said Count Stephen in his letter, speaking of the great difficulties that the pilgrims had encountered under the city of Antioch, and that the Turkic pagans of Mosul and Khorasan in the coming year might organize an unusually powerful offensive for Yaji. Xiyang relieved the siege. (To be continued.) )
