Godfrey, who was lying on a stretcher and accompanying the army, kept expressing his gratitude to the Lady Doctor of Grana for his meticulous treatment, "It is a pity that you are already married to an Orthodox believer, otherwise I would introduce you to the most honorable knight in the procession." ”

"No, I'm just an ordinary person, not a big dowry, so I think it's very appropriate for General Stratigues to marry me to an engineer, and I don't dare to have any other transgressions." Granaia expressed gratitude for the Duke's generosity and benevolence, and politely declined it.

"In the future, when I take down the holy land, I will give it to you and your wife." Godfrey's soldiers marched in the direction of Lamprun Castle with banners, and the Duke made the following promise to the female physician, and Granay only smiled and did not take it to heart.

The city of Lamprun, which was located on the high ridge, was covered with deep clouds, and many horsemen with banners poured out from all over the winding mountain road, galloping at a gallop, which disturbed Godfrey's avant-garde cavalry - the Frankish Gauls had always been such a people, brave and heroic, but also prone to mediocrity.

The two groups of cavalry began to confront each other across the river and shallows, but neither force was used, but the civilians accompanying them were frightened by the exaggerated words of their own avant-garde cavalry, and thought that they were being ambushed by unknown horse bandits or Turkic troops, so they shouted and dragged their luggage and cattle and ran all over the mountains and valleys to escape.

"I am Haarlem, the Commander-in-Command of General Orson Lord, the owner of Lamprun Castle, and I am here on the orders of His Excellency Grand Duke Gawain, and Baldwin, King of Adana. Greetings to all pilgrims! "Soon, in the cavalry line on the opposite bank. The leading officer shouted.

As a result, the cries of the civilians soon turned into earth-shaking cheers.

Godfrey on a stretcher. Lying on the rush grass laid below, he moved twice when he heard such words, and inadvertently showed a proud and smug smile, and he also heard, Haarlem. Herthomis assured him, the hermit Peter, and Hugh, "The two noble Excellencies are in the city of Adana, waiting for your arrival. ”

Stay until you have crossed the Lamprun Castle. The pilgrims entering the region of Cilicia could not help but look with envy at the territory occupied by Gawain and Baldwin—every land and water route, there was a rich market town, where all kinds of people cultivated, traded, and worked, the tall walls of Tarsus, and its towers, which were more than ten feet high, could be seen from far away, and the river was full of ships with canisters, filled with a variety of food and goods—their cavalry. They rode tall horses and adorned themselves with the riches they had gained from defeating the Turks: the hilts of their swords were inlaid with gold and silver, their cloaks were embroidered with silk threads, and they wielded sharp weapons. Compared with the performance of other pilgrim warriors, it is simply imposing.

Just two or three months ago, these two were compared to other lords. It is not yet possible to see the distinction, but now they have a huge fortune. Already above everyone else, Gawain had won the high position of Grand Duke of the Roman Empire - but the two in Adana did not show any domineering. They used ships and convoys to bring a large amount of grain and daily necessities, and the prices were very low, so everyone was only amazed and envious, but very few people were jealous.

At this moment in the church of Adana City, people's emotions were quickly aroused by another thing worthy of ecstasy: after more than a dozen careful and repeated treatments, Mrs. Goldchild's malaria finally began to slowly subside.

Anna cried happily, took Madame's still pale and weak hand, and lay on the edge of the couch and kept wiping away her tears, and the outside was filled with improvised wooden frames with artemisia grass, like a staghorn grating laid on the battlefield, and constantly burning smoke, not allowing any mosquitoes to penetrate in.

Goethehilde, who continued to lie on the couch, slowly blushed a little on his face, which was a sign that her body was gradually struggling back from the brink of death and beginning to recover, "It's not over, in addition to careful conditioning, this winter and the beginning of next spring, we still have to adhere to this treatment." Gawain's tall figure, standing outside the curtain on the porch, said to the lady, Anna, and the maids inside, "Again, Anna, you now have a heavier burden on your shoulders, and in addition to taking care of Zephelim's estate, you must also take care of your best friend and sister in this city." Baldwin and I are going to join Lord Godfrey on the unbelievers of the Holy Land. ”

"Leave it all to me, Gawain, the economic interests of the land of Cicilicia are more important, I will take care of it and will not let you down." Anna is fully assured.

Outside, Gao Wen turned and left, in the front hall and side hall, the people who gave the oil to the artemisia grass were still busy all the time, the autumn sun was exceptionally brilliant and warm, and in the courtyard of the post house in front, Baldwin was setting up a place to welcome his brother.

At this moment, Goethehild saw that Gawain was far away, and also took away the maid beside him, and then mysteriously discharged a bunch of keys under the pillow, and whispered to the smiling Anna beside him, "Hey, little Nizi, now is a good time for you to be alone with Gawain, Agnes is not there, the consul is not there, and Gawain's blonde Varyag widow in Bari is not there—before you go to Antioch, for the Lord's sake, you have to seize the difficult opportunity like a Jewish merchant to seize a coin." ”

was told that she had hit the heart, and Anna took the key shyly and in trepidation, "This is?" ”

"On the banks of the Adana River, there is a manor called 'Pemblock', which was originally the property of the Turkic lords, but was later taken possession by Baldwin, and changed its name in honor of my hometown. There are mills, fountains, and a few beautiful orchards and gardens, and it's still a few days before Lord Godfrey arrives, and you go and get it done. ”

Then Anna was even more uneasy, she hung her head, flushed to the base of her ears, looked at the tips of her boots, and said nothing.

Goetheheard quickly guessed, and she attached herself to Anna's ear and asked a few cordial questions, and Anna replied a few times, and the lady, who was recovering her beauty and charm, shook her head, "What good way can you find with an ignorant girl like Agnes?" In the end, according to your method, there is no good effect except to anger Gawain and push him to the side of the female fox like the female archon. ”

Then Mrs. Baldwin said mysteriously and earnestly, "Listen, Purple Princess, though you are very clever, but you are so bad at dealing with men, do you think that such an abominable and stubborn, smelly and proud brute like a creature will come to the pen and eat your grass by itself?" No, you have to tame them with delicious food, with barbed sticks, and with them. (To be continued.) )
