At this moment, although Gawain was expressionless on the side, Ademar was obviously extremely embarrassed, he wanted to pull out of the other party's hands clenched a little fiercely, but Bohemond was even more emotional, pulling the poor old man's hand tighter, like an iron tong, his red beard kept rubbing against the back of Ademar's hand, and his mouth said quickly, tears came out of his eyes, which made his words fluctuate and intermittent, very thrilling power, "Before, my nephew and I, To welcome the army from the mountains of Marash, and to provide all the food and supplies, is to admire your impartiality. yes, now you are in front of me, I am on your knees, and by the oath I have made to all the holy apostles of Heaven, I treat you as if you were a father, and you say today that the General Senate should go to Raymond, as long as your lips are opened and closed for a moment, I will never shirk such a resolution, even if my heart is bitter, but I do not say"

"Let go, please let go" Ademar gritted his teeth, laughing, angry, and could only writhe in place.

Bohemond had just let go of his hand, but he grabbed his leg again, and wept even louder, "Father, oh my father, I accept, accept all your promises, just as I will not reject the gospel of the Lord, so please at least comfort me?" Please, because I think of Brad, who died in battle. ”

The crowd suddenly stirred, and Raymond was so angry that his face turned purple, he didn't expect this person to play a rogue trick in a grand manner, and directly splash sewage on his personal relationship with the priesthood, covering people's eyes and ears. "Damn, this offspring of the Normandy cooper, scoundrel, stinking rascal!" Lord Raymond read this sentence inwardly without stuttering.

There was a great commotion from the crowd, and Gawain hurriedly took out the inscription, which was stamped with the seals of him, Tetisius, and Bohemond, "Please be decent to the Duke of Apulia, this signature and seal clearly indicate that you have participated in the Imperial Council of Cardinals, and now you are elected for the position of the Council of Cardinals of the Catholic Church, and it is not appropriate for you to hold both positions at the same time." ”

"Shut up!" Bohemond gritted his teeth and did not give an inch, "Aren't you also the Grand Duke of the Empire at the same time, and also the prefect of the Holy Priesthood?" ”

"Mine is not in conflict, the Grand Duke is my imperial official position, and the Holy Rank is my divine character." After saying that, Gawain also drew a cross on his chest with an excited attitude, and shouted loudly, "Crimes will be handed over to the government to punish, and sins will be handed over to the church to cleanse them. ”

"Your sin is to have taken away the daughter of the Emperor of Greece, and to take off your false cross, for it is stained with the blood of a pure virgin whom you have defiled." Bohemond shouted a loud accusation, and then buried himself in the bed of the embarrassed Ardmar, snot and tears, and frightened the monks beside him, including Peter, to draw crosses and beg for forgiveness in a loud voice.

Baldwin, Theognes, Werner, and others all rushed up to administer justice to Gawain, and to draw out the unscrupulous Duke of Apulia, while many Norman knights pounced on them, and the two sides fought without question. "But, damn it!" At this time, Raymond really could not contain his little temper, and joined the war group in grief and indignation, and folded his arms to beat Bohemond who had come to stir up the situation--all the lords and knights of different positions were once again noisy and beaten around the violator, and all kinds of utensils were rushed back and forth by the chaotic footsteps, and fell from the platform to the ground, making a chaotic noise, accompanied by the angry shouts of each person.

With a bang, Ademar, who was so angry that his face turned blue and trembled, was torn into several pieces, the largest piece was held in Bohemond's hand, and behind him, Baldwin and the others had already pulled him and dragged him three or four feet away from the floor.

"Enough!" Ademar raised his cane high and slammed it against the candlestick in front of the holy table, shattering it to pieces, and it was only in this shock that the people stopped. At this moment Ademar gasped and saw the crowd, except for Godfrey, the only one standing outside the circle, the Count of Flanders.

"My dear Robert, my most gentle and discreet child, he will keep unconditionally what Bohemond said about me, and then I tell you that the General Military Staff will give neither to the Provençals nor to the Apulians - I will give it to Robert of Flanders, and that's it." With that, Admar stepped forward, snatched the fragments of the cross from the hands of Bohemond, who was sitting on the floor, and left the scene in a rage.

In the evening, in the camp of the Normans, Bohemond continued to sit in front of the rough wooden dining table, cutting meat in large chunks with a dagger, and the puzzled Tanfred spread his hands and said, "Why is this so, uncle? Didn't you say that you were willing to follow Gawain's arrangement? Why should he run for the thankless office of the General Military Staff now, if a weak and rude guy like Raymond wants it, give it to him. ”

Bohemond sneered, wiped his hands with a napkin, and then delivered a scroll of letters to Tancred's hand by the candlelight, "Send this letter out at once, but remember not to be a fool and give it to the Pisians to transport to Apulia—I don't trust that the eight-clawed spider like Gawain will not spy on our letters." ”

"This!" Tankred was amazed, and after reading it, he rubbed the letterhead, "Uncle, you actually want to impeach Admar and Gawain before the Holy Crown?" ”

"Yes, my uncle sent a letter from Palermo, on a Pisan ship, and he said that this is also what His Majesty himself intended - now that the situation of the pilgrims is coming to an end, according to His Majesty's wishes, and then the whole pilgrim contingent will be given a 'patriarch' who will be responsible for the whole diocese of Al-Quds and Antioch in the future, and it is obvious that there will be more supervision and restraint, but this person cannot be Ademar, and the Holy See is ready to recall him." After speaking, Bohemond shook the tip of his knife in front of the bridge of his nose, "Information and intelligence are particularly important, so I have given in on the surface, but I have the advantage in the bigger picture, that is, in the letters, I impeached Ademar, Gawain and Raymond, and privately conferred the sacred office, which has reached the point of ignoring the authority of the Holy See." ”

"The Holy See today happens to be a man who likes to be suspicious, and if Admar achieves great glory during his expedition to the Holy Land, it will be detrimental to his prestige." Tancred will.

"The next letter, then, is to Bishop Dembell of Pisa." Bohemond grinned his teeth and smiled. (To be continued.) )
