"The Greeks are indeed a rich people." Looking at the golden coins in the Emperor's box, Baldwin said in surprise.

"Don't touch Baldwin, remember that money and poison are the hands of this emperor, and we can only pray to the priest to come on this trip, not only to subdue the emperor, but also to take care of ourselves." Godfrey knocked Baldwin's arm off the money, and then said this with a little trepidation.

In the camp of the Dalian team, in the crimson tent, Gawain once again put on the white silk robe given by the emperor, and looked at the other white robe that the Holy See had given him for baptism with some tears and laughter. But it was obviously Alexios who sent a more high-end texture, woven from high-grade Corinthian silk, smooth and soft, like wearing skin that once breathed, "Damn, Alexios, sooner or later I will take back the property that should belong to Ingrid, and I can't let her produce some second- and third-rate silk in Bari City forever." Gawain secretly made up his mind, and then in front of the mirror, he no longer covered himself with the red cloak given by Yudoxia, but put on the white robe, and pinned it with the gold medal given by the emperor, and inside was the simple (compared to the emperor) holy armor sent by Anna, and finally put on the wrist armor sent by Muzafiadin Din, and then walked out of the tent door.

Outside, the soldiers of the Dalian Brigade had begun to gather around the grill in their respective tents, waiting for the hot fish to be cut into plates, mixed into a large portion of wheat porridge, and brought from the company's kitchen to dispel the cold and fasting that had been accumulated for many days. Show off your skills against the infidels. There are also chaplains with the army, already boasting in front of the soldiers. What the Holy City and the Holy Sepulchre are like, some will say. In Solomon's temple in that city, there was a imprisoned demon on every pillar, and it was said that there was a mysterious mechanism inside, and if you sent pork in, you could pull sausages directly, and when you poured wheat flour, you could take out bread cubes directly.

In greetings, Gawain greeted the soldiers and members of the Brotherhood, and he went to see the kitchen. He went to visit the wounded in the previous battle, "Recuperate with the army, there should be no more bloody battles, and if you want to fight in the future, it will be against the infidels of Asia and Syria." Sitting in front of a sergeant's couch whose eye had been wounded by a cluster of arrows from the emperor's army, Gawain shook the other's hand and whispered comfort.

"Even if you die, you won't have any regrets." The sergeant, with blood gauze over his eyes, laughed. replied.

"Presiding, Presiding!" Gawain, who was riding in front of the camp gate, Gottschalke, who came out of the slanted thorn, was clutching his reins and shouting incessantly. "Leave the camp to me in peace, I, 30,000 pilgrims, whatever happens. will follow you loyally. ”

"You should be more interested in the Holy City."

"No, go to the Holy City. It's not just about getting there. The city of God should be located on earth. This is the grandest dream of my life. The monk poured out excitedly.

Then, almost all the lords and civilians in the camp poured into the hills and hillsides, and watched the priesthood on horseback, under the escort of several brotherhoods and guard warriors, cross the snowy fields and come to the gate of St. Atkins.

Yagfi stood at the end of the corridor with a group of samurai and looked at him, "Please dismount and take your sword." ”

In the Brachna Palace, on the road leading to the hall of the river, Anna and Dedot, both dressed at the entrance, first came from the shoulders of Marlena and John, and the chief lady of the court who got off the car went with her adopted son, looked at Anna with contempt like a defeated dog, and walked in without saying a word, of course, Anna did not have any expression on her face.

Empress Irene sent a maid to refuse to attend the Emperor's meeting with Gawain on the grounds of "ill health", but both the Emperor and she allowed Gawain to go to her chamber for an unusual audience if he wished, but to keep "a considerable distance" - this was added by Emperor Komnenos, who guarded Gawain's every move like a thief, although he was now beginning to appreciate him a little, and began to woo him in a Byzantine manner.

In the middle of the hall, Anna once again took her sister Dedo's hand, obeyed her old position, and sat behind the emperor's throne, "Gawain is not dead, and you should both breathe a sigh of relief when you know this." When the two daughters walked to the curtain, Alexios, wearing the crown, seemed to say this to Anna on purpose.

"Yes father, I am relieved for the Empire." Anna whispered yes, then sat down and said no more.

Soon after, Anna heard the sound of her boots on the floor again, the sound felt familiar and comfortable to her, just like the time when she listened to Gawain busy outside through the candle flame and the curtain after she had a high fever, which reduced the pain and anxiety, and how similar it was to that time!

The eldest princess's fingers lightly touched the slightly swaying silk curtain, looking at the marble stone pillars, the big brute with short brown hair, still wearing the holy armor she sent, wearing the heroic white robe given by her father, with a gentle and faint smile, walked over step by step, pulling the fingertips of the eldest princess, she did this as if she could touch the hair of the big barbarian, "Sister, is that him?" It doesn't seem like an uneducated brute, and it's not as terrifying as the red-haired one before," and at this time, Dedo also leaned over, put her hands on Anna's lap, and asked quietly.

Anna lowered her eyes and looked at her sister's pupils, she could easily judge that Dedo was completely fond of it, and her father Alexios was not so much arranging this as asking Dedo to observe Gawain, but telling herself: Marry Brenus with peace of mind, and Gawain's affairs have nothing to do with you from now on.

There is no connection, like the glory of her mother and uncle's Ducasse family, and it is gone?

Anna slowly lowered her fingers, and then smiled at Dai Duo, with her best efforts, "Well, yes, how could Anna find a rough and uneducated person to be the other party's main guarantor?" ”

Alexios, who was on the throne in front, seemed to hear Anna's inner sigh behind him, and couldn't help but smile proudly, it seems that everything is playing out according to his own mind and planned script, which is really good.

When the messenger of the great eunuch was completed, looking at Gawain, who was kneeling on one knee in the center of the hall, the emperor spoke, "O Gawain, I grant you the post of Governor of the march of Asia and the Grand Duke of the Armenian Military District (this Armenia does not refer to the seat of the Armenian state, but to the Byzantine military district established in the area of the Pontus Mountains, and its garrison is ' Armenian Legion', similar to the rank of the Thracepine Military Region established in southwestern Asia Minor, in the official system, you are equivalent to Bohemond's deputy, but you do not have to follow his orders, but act on my orders, and I order you to march towards Paphragonia and Trabizon after conquering Nicaea.
