Chapter 45: Sweet Scheme

After hanging the curtain, Dai Duo immediately spoke, slightly bared her teeth, frowned in disgust, bit her ruddy lip, and thought secretly, "This Turkic lowly man with no nose seems to be desperate for the imperial brother." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Then she lost any interest, got up and whispered that her body was not in harmony today, and after saying that, she retreated to the inner room.

When Brenus saw his wife leaving, he immediately continued to smile, "I will continue to provide the servants and cavalry at the request of General Tetisius, and I will not let you fall into unnecessary suspicion and scandal." ”

When the two counts of the foolish departed with Tetisius. In the inner chamber, Dedot was furious, and she said to Breñus, "Now the empire is in great difficulty, my father's position is beginning to be shaken by the defeat of several wars, and the lowly tribes (Slavs) of Dalmatia, Great Bulgaria, and Bosnia are rebelling one after another. In the event of an accident on our father's throne, we must have the power to protect ourselves. ”

"What......" Brenus lowered his voice, although he also liked to gather intelligence from all sides of the empire, but he took a respectful attitude towards real power and intrigues, which was also the family's motto, "try to keep the glory of staying away from the maelstrom", which is the same as Mesadini and Prani.

But now the wife's words have been pointed to clearly, "Self-preservation is always a euphemism for usurpation, because when the empire can only elect one emperor, self-preservation is either rebellion or rebellion." ”

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Brenus's forehead, and he hurriedly took two steps back, but the petite Daido took two steps forward and pressed himself tightly, "I envy and envy my sister, she now has a kingdom and can give orders unhindered. We should also have, preferably, to occupy all of Panphilia and Opshkin, where the treasury and the soldiers are very rich, so that John could not compete with us in the Peloponnese alone—the curse of the empire, and all qualified emperors should be produced in Asia Minor. ”

"Emperor......" Brenus muttered, leaning against the wall, "I never thought of such a question. ”

Dai Duo's eyebrows were raised, and her hands were clasped in front of her chest, "Now it's not that you don't have ambition at all, it's that I'm happy or not." John was so ugly, so dark, that I even sometimes suspected that he was not a descendant of the Komnenos, but a lowly wild species. Once I thought that the throne of the future empire would be tainted by him, I couldn't bear it, originally my sister was gone, and I thought my parents should like me, but now John has a territory, and he also has an army and slaves loyal to him, and his power is unshakable. What awaits me in the future must be a life in the convent - I can now understand why my sister left Gawain in the first place. ”

"Do you want it, do you really want it?"

"You're such a selfish man!" Before Brenus could finish speaking, Dai Duo suddenly raised her eyebrows, and her originally beautiful little face became hideous, "Selfish, selfish!" She shouted this terrible word three times in a row, "In the future, when John ascends to the throne, you think that with the power of the Brenus family, you can keep your current prosperity and wealth, but you are wrong, John will be reused in the future as a lowly slave like Tetitius, and we will be deposed and alienated, and we may live a claustrophobic life in the abbey and country grange for the rest of our lives." I don't want this at all, I want to be like my sister, don't be so selfish, think about me, think about your wife, you didn't put your marriage into the hands of the Lord, then you have to fulfill such a contract, don't be so selfish. With her eyes half-open, she repeated the pleading, and busily bewitched and troubled, and she stood on tiptoe to hook her husband's neck, muttering and kissing the tip of his nose, beard, neck, and lips, and exhaling a gaudy and gentle breath, like a little woman in the market begging to please a man in the hope of getting a cheap jewelry.

Brenus was teased and gasped, he put his hand around his wife's delicate and delicate body, but Deduo seized this opportunity to make trouble, she complained and was angry, pushing her husband to prevent him from succeeding, this is a woman's tactic, even if Deduo does not have a master in this regard, but she is smart enough to control her husband well, "You should also think about your children...... If there is no security, Our Lady will be frightened by my worries and will never bless...... Don't be so selfish, my husband, my dear little husband...... I find you particularly charming tonight, let me get a child and make him the master of the future Rome. ”

On the couch after the tie, the satisfied Dai Duo was attached to her husband's ear, still gently biting and coquettish the earlobe, while Brenus, who was supposed to enter the sage mode, had dark eyes, was sleepy, and had no ability to think about anything, so he could only agree to Dai Duo's request, "Once, when I was in Gawain's camp, he promised me that once the court changed, he would fully support our couple. ”

"It's just a wolf's promise, and I can't trust it at all."

"But what about agreeing with Gawain to divide this plateau equally with Seleucia as the boundary? Wolves always need meat. When he said this, even Brenus himself was taken aback.

Dai Duo pouted and laughed like a little water demon, leaned on her husband's chest, and gently swirled her husband's useless organ with her fingers, "Yes, that's what makes you powerful." That Raymond was made Count of Laudisia, apparently because his father wanted to plant a wedge here, because he could not trust the other Roman generals and nobles, and was afraid that they would collude with us. ”

After speaking, Dai Duo said very mischievously that it was not enough, so she covered herself with a soft futon, wrapped herself around her body like a little warrior on the battlefield, turned over and lay on her husband's body, and began to ask for it again.

In the days that followed, the horses of the Emperor and the pilgrims advanced inexorably—likewise, when General Theodoro's banner of the Black Madonna and a large number of foot riders appeared at the New Caesarea Pass in the Pontus Mountains, and Amasia in the south was in a panic, the Grand Emir Merrick, who was sitting in the palace, began to feel the gravity of the matter, "I occupy Ankara and Konya, but thus the front is also stretched, and now the pagan donkey-like mongrels are storming me from four directions. All the way from Paphragonia, all the way to Ankara, all the way from the New Caesarea Gate, and the road to the 'octopus spider' of Cilicia, I don't know where he might strike. ”

Merrick's courtiers all gathered together and looked at the Sarnadilands chess in front of the emir, "What should I do now?" Then he chanted Tianzhu's poem, "Soldiers are like carriages, how to arrange the soldiers of the four armies?" (To be continued.) )
