Chapter 207: Return

It was only the day after Consdante's accident that Novgorod's guards arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This was not due to the obstruction of the Novgorod nobility, but to the demands of Berhis, and the attack on Consdante, in his opinion, could not rule out the possibility of Novgorod's internal response. Consité Dante was in danger at any time if something went wrong, so Bercis chose to have Dukeyat, stationed in Pskov, lead a trusted personal guard to protect them. As for where Constance Dante was, only they knew.

"Your Excellency Dukaiat, we are now 30 miles away from Temir Town." Heavy locomotives drove on the road, and on them were heavily armed soldiers. They are hand-picked by Berheath, and because of this they can be absolutely trusted.

"Full speed ahead, be sure to arrive by noon." Dikaiat said. They had to hurry now, the town was in a remote place, it was completely defenseless, and it would be very dangerous if it was discovered.

"Understood!" Having received the order, everyone quickened the march.

……

"What the hell is going on? Can't you even get it yourself? An old man came out of the room, looked at Solzhenitsyn who had been waiting in the living room for a long time, and asked.

At this time in the city of Novgorod, martial law was still in force. The nobles were already irritated, and although they did not need to be forbidden to leave the House as before, they felt that the city of Novgorod in which they were located was like a prison, a prison open only to them. However, the angry nobles were helpless.

"Likarov." Solzhenitsyn said respectfully, although everyone knew that he was the speaker of the noble council and wielded great power. But in fact, he is the spokesperson for the old man in front of him. Every time Solzhenitsyn took action, he was allowed by Lykalov, and this time he came to be able to ask for the opinion of the other side.

"Archduke Consdante seems to have been attacked, and the Poles did it."

"Hmm." Hearing what Solzhenitsyn said, Lykarov didn't have any expression on his face and just nodded, as if it was just an ordinary thing, and he didn't care at all.

"Anything else? I don't think you're going to come to me for this. Lykalov asked.

"Yes." And Solzhenitsyn nodded, "But His Excellency Berhiss seems to be wary of us, and even put Novgorod on alert. What did he seem to be suspicious of? ”

He was skeptical...... It seems that so do you, my child......" he meant in his words.

"So you seem to have some suspicions, don't you?" Lykarov apparently also heard Solzhenitsyn's words.

“…… It is true that Consdante rarely leaves the city of Novgorod, and if it is said that he could be kidnapped by the Poles and the Romanovs, I can only say - it is a coincidence! Solzhenitsyn's face was not good-looking, because he had a premonition.

"Perhaps!" But on Lykarov's face, Solzhenitsyn could not find any flaws, although the old man answered surprisingly calmly, but other than that, Solzhenitsyn did not have any evidence, and more importantly, Lykarlov was his mentor.

"There's one thing I want to ask you...... Why did you ask me to convince others to make Constance Dante Grand Duke in the first place? You should know that he is even more difficult to control than Alexander. In fact, three years earlier, he himself had opposed Constance Dante's accession to the position of Grand Duke. But it was precisely because of this old man's insistence that Solzhenitsyn was able to pass the proposal against the consensus.

Only now, although he believes that Conseidante's ability can bring Novgorod to strength, he can't believe that Conseidante is a safe existence.

"Constance Dante?" Lykarov was slightly distracted, "It's true that he's hard to control, but he's far easier to deal with than Alexander." Because he lacks ambition! Or rather, he wasn't interested in Ross. In the circumstances, he was the best choice. ”

"And now?" Immediately, Solzhenitsyn asked. "Do you mean no, since Novgorod no longer needs him, do you think that you can abandon him at any time?"

"Solzhenitsyn! Pay attention to your attitude and remember who you're talking to! "Solzhenitsyn's questioning became more and more explicit, and Lykarov, even an old fool, could hear Solzhenitsyn's suspicion of him, and he had to speak out as a warning." I said that Consité and Dante were not a threat to Ross, and that I had no reason to cooperate with the Poles. Besides, Cons Dante won't stay here for too long."

"What do you mean?" Solzhenitsyn was a little puzzled, and he didn't fully believe Lykarov's words, but he said that Constance Dante wouldn't stay here for long, which made him have to be a little concerned.

"The situation in the East makes it impossible for them to stay here any longer." Those Orientals stayed here so that Consei-Dante would have enough strength when he could go back, and for three years, there was no reason for them to stay. "Now, do you still doubt me?"

"No, Lykarov, I didn't mean to do that. At least for now, the presence of Constance Dante is much more important. Solzhenitsyn understood that in the current situation, both the West and the East were hostile to Novgorod's expansion, and that was why they really needed a strong monarch.

"That's nature, I'm the same as you. There's nothing wrong with that. Lykarov calmly replied that the two men had invisibly cracked in the past three years, and they both knew that the tacit understanding between the two sides did not seem to be what it used to be, and the reason for this was known only to themselves.

……

"How's it going? How long will those people have to wait? ”

In the small town of Temir, the inhabitants are still talking about it, and because of their dissatisfaction with the mayor, it is natural that the uninvited guests of Constance Dante are not welcome. They were whispering in the square in front of the town in the morning.

They are full of resentment, especially when they are brought here by Skop to continue to be used as coolies.

"What do you all want to do? Hurry up and get everything ready to eat and drink. Later, the people from Novgorod will come, and if you have any places where you are not well received, you will wait for me one by one! "Skop is still a menacing lackey, and the more he does this, the more the townspeople look down on him. Of course, no one will like such a villain with his whiskers.

"Why is this man like this?" Bonifazia frowned, looking at Skop's arrogant appearance, and was angry.

Not only him, but also Constance, Dante and others were treated unkindly by the residents of the town, and in their eyes, Constance, Dante and the mayor of the town were completely identical.

"The more small a place like this, the more rampant this kind of people are! Leave him alone. Berchis is not surprised, the world itself is like this, it is not black and white, the gloom composed of small people like Skop is the main theme, although you can find beauty, but because you are in the gloom and you desire the light. They are not evil, but they also make the world bleak.

At this time, Constance, Dante and Vivien also came out, and they came here, except for Berschis to reveal his identity, everything was kept secret.

"How's it going?" Constance, Dante asked, looking at Berchs.

"No problem, De Keyat brought someone in shortly after. Everything works fine. Berchis replied that he had been in contact with De Keyat not long ago, and that they were heading for it.

"That'll do." Constance Dante had a heart that could finally be put down, at least not worried about someone plotting against him, and although the night was very peaceful, they spent it in fear. The danger in Novgorod has not been eliminated for three years, and Consdany Dante has even been assassinated.

"It's time to go back, I'm really tired of this place, those nobles only remind me of those people in Constantinople back then." Constance Dante said quietly.

"And now those people are in Nicaea! I'm afraid you'll have to face them again when you go back. Vivien said on the side, of course she knew the sinister intentions of those people, but she had to remind Consitine that only by cooperating with those people could Constantinople be restored and the empire rebuilt.

"I understand that there are some things I have to bear, and I am not going to run away from them."

At this moment, the rumbling roar of the locomotive attracted people's attention, and everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

The townspeople were surprised, while Constance Dante was nervous.

When the Novgorod banner appeared in front of him, Consdantine could finally be completely relieved.

It's Decayat, it's they.

And when the townspeople saw the orderly army coming, everyone was silent. They didn't dare to say anything, let alone say anything inferior, and the weapons in the hands of those armies were the best way to deal with chewing tongues.

Constance Dante walked slowly, and they were all amazed that this unremarkable young man had been following Berthes in silence, and they had not even noticed, but now he stood up.

But something even more miraculous was yet to come, and the soldiers actually got out of the car respectfully and saluted the young man.

"Your Highness!"

Your Highness!? The moment they heard this name, the townspeople and Skop were shocked. I am afraid that there is no one else to be right for the title of "Your Highness" except the Grand Duke, and this young man is actually the supreme ruler of Novgorod.

"Hiss-" There was a sudden gasp.

In full view, Consité Dante walked up to the soldiers and calmly accepted their salute.

"You've worked hard." Consitor Dante said calmly, looking at these elite divisions that had been formed in the past three years, these people came from the countryside of Novgorod, and it could be said that there was no cunning atmosphere in the city.

"The Grand Duke was negligent on our part before." Dikeyat lowered his head and said that if he had acted immediately, the accident could have been avoided. As the head of the guard, he naturally blamed himself deeply. If it weren't for Cons Dante's promotion, I'm afraid that I would have been just a small role in my life.

And Constance Dante only smiled slightly, it was only a temporary idea, but this man became his most powerful subordinate. At the same time, it is also a trusted partner.

"You've done a great job, and if it weren't for the information you provided, I'm afraid I'd be really out of luck." A wry smile appeared on Constance Dante's face. Indeed, if it weren't for his timely interception of the Holy Roman Empire's message, Constance Dante might have been unlucky.

"Constance Dante...... Grand Duke ......" The startled Skop couldn't even speak clearly at this time, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually the Grand Duke of Novgorod, and he didn't expect it at all.

And the townspeople who had spoken ill of Constance Dante behind their backs were scared enough.

Constance Dante also saw this, and he walked over to the townspeople, and everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, and they did not know if it was possible that their tongue chewing had been heard by this inconspicuous and low-key Grand Duke.

"Thank you for your hospitality, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude." Constance Dante said politely.

And Si Kop hurriedly ran forward with a smile on his face, his eyes squeezed into two thin lines, and said flatteringly: "Dear Grand Duke, you can come here to make us shine, where can we accept such praise from you." ”

Although they were extremely disgusted with their mayor's face, the people of the town did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

But to complete surprise, Constance's Dante's voice suddenly froze, "I don't seem to have allowed you to speak, Mayor Mare!" ”

The startled "Grand Duke ......" Skop did not expect Constance Dante to use such a tone, and suddenly he found that the person standing in front of him was not an ordinary young man, but a figure who really stood at the pinnacle of power.

The trembling Si Koop was so frightened that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect this young man to have such momentum.

"I think your people seem to hate you, and by the way, we hate you." Belhis's grim voice rang out. "I think you'll be happy to get out of here. I remember you said that you thought of Novgorod. Now you can do it. ”

"But...... His Excellency Berchis ...... "Completely speechless Skop did not expect to be reversed in this way. "I'm treating you well!"

"However, you are short of the money I gave you, don't say that I didn't give you a chance." With that, Berchis suddenly drew his short knife and stabbed it.

"No—"

The clinking gold coins tumbled on the ground in the screams, and all the money he had hidden was scattered, and Bershis's knife only pierced his clothes. Rao was like this, and the iron-faced Si Koop was still so frightened that he almost fainted.

"I think you should remember what other things you've done yourself. At least your good time in Temir is over. Constance Dante walked over and announced the fall of the mayor, while the cheers of the townspeople rang out behind him.

"We can go back."

"Yes, Grand Duke!" (To be continued.) )
