And just when the situation was becoming tense, under the city walls, a Moscow nobleman came to the city gate on a horse and said in a loud voice: "Novgorodians, we are here as guests, why don't you go out of the city to greet you?" ”

Solzhenitsyn was slightly stunned, but still responded: "With all due respect, Your Excellency, Novgorod only welcomes real guests, and Your Excellency and the army behind you may not be able to convince us. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info If it is possible to let the Grand Duke Varyag meet with me, so that the misunderstanding may be resolved. "This is just a polite refusal, the Grand Duke of Varyag is already eighty-seven years old this year, how could he come here, Solzhenitsyn is just talking, but Novgorod is still ready to use force with the Muscovites.

Hearing Solzhenitsyn's reply, he saw the nobleman sneering slightly, as if he had expected the other party to say this.

"Since this is the case, then please let the Grand Duke of Novgorod come out for a while, and our Grand Duke has something to discuss."

What the?!

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that the old guy in Varyag had actually rushed over from his lair? The frightened aristocrats watched as a carriage slowly approached and stopped on the edge of the drawbridge.

And the nobleman said: "The Grand Duke is in the car, and we will give you only half an hour to reply." We're not here for sightseeing. His words were full of menace.

The aristocrats who looked at each other did not know what to do, and the Muscovites at this time were clearly trying to see the dagger.

"Wait, Your Excellency. Our Grand Duke Alexander resigned not so long ago, and now there is no Grand Duke in Novgorod at all, if I can, how about I come and talk to Grand Duke Varyag? Solzhenitsyn hurriedly said, he didn't expect the other party to make such a request, after all, Consdante was not a real Grand Duke and was not familiar with Novgorod at all.

But he was answered by the nobleman's ridicule, "Are you the Grand Duke?" Even if there is no Grand Duke now, don't you even have a candidate for so long? Even temporarily, if our Grand Duke does not see the Grand Duke of Novgorod after half an hour, then at your own risk. ”

As soon as the nobleman's words fell, for a moment, all the Moscow soldiers behind him were loaded, and the mecha also pulled out the oriental-style scimitar at his waist.

The Great War is imminent!

"Damn it, fight with them, it's a big deal! Let their cannon kill the wagon, and let their Grand Duke go to hell! Suddenly, a member of parliament roared excitedly.

"Are you crazy.? If the Varyag had three long and two short, the whole of Novgorod would be buried with him! Solzhenitsyn whispered a rant at the absurdity of the congressman.

"Then let's send someone over, maybe there's a turnaround." Suddenly, Patriarch Iwirumo said coldly.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Consitine again, and it was obvious that they could only hope for this young man, and since Varyag wanted to see their archduke, then let's see him. As Ivelumo said, there may be a turnaround.

And Constance Dante also knew that he had no choice now, although he did not know what Moscow's intentions were, but the situation was undoubtedly dangerous.

"Solzhenitsyn, now you have to let me go." Constance Dante took the initiative to stand up, and this is the only way to go.

Solzhenitsyn, however, was a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to nod.

The Novgorod gates slowly opened, and Dukeyat followed Consdante out of the gate on horseback, and then the gate closed tightly, which made him even more uneasy. The drawbridge was slowly lowered, but Constance Dante seemed very calm and urged the horse to the carriage.

And De Keyat was about to follow, but—

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the frightened horse jumped up and nearly threw Dukeyat down. The horse's feet were left with deep bullet marks.

I saw that the nobleman blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the short gun, and said coldly: "Only the Grand Duke can enter, and the rest will stop!" ”

It's too much of a deception!

The angry parliamentarians, though unwilling, can only accept this reality.

And Ducayat looked helplessly at Constance, Dante was just a small person, so he was not a human at all, Consciente looked at him and said, "You go down first!" I won't have a problem. Constance Dante dismounted his horse and walked to the splendid carriage. There was no one in front of the carriage, not even the groom had gone away, but it was unknown what was inside the carriage.

Constance Dante had no choice but to board the carriage.

And under the watchful eyes of both sides, Consdante walked into the carriage alone, especially the Novgorodians, who watched it all nervously, as if war would break out at any moment.

And Constance Dante opened the car door, and it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he still walked in, after all, the Grand Duke meant little to Novgorod, and the kidnapping of Cons. Dante would not do Moscow any good.

Thinking so, Constance Dante's forehead suddenly cooled, something hard and cold against him, and he smelled gunpowder.

It's a short gun! Constance Dante's heart tightened, but he did not act rashly.

"We're meeting again, Constance!" The sudden light illuminated the faces of the people in front of him, and this really surprised Constance.

Sitting in the carriage was not the supposedly old Duke Varyag, but Alexander in the prime of life!?

What's going on here? Constance, who felt that his brain was not enough, was also speechless in surprise.

"I forgot to introduce myself, Lone is the new Grand Duke of Moscow, Alexander Neusky, His Royal Highness the Honorable Knight King, oh no, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Consdante." Alexander smiled and retracted his short slapstick, as if it had just been a joke.

"Aren't you going to explain, His Highness the Grand Duke of Moscow?" Constance Dante asked calmly, although he was shocked in his heart, but Alexander would definitely not be "happy" for himself when he appeared at this time.

"Quite simply, I did the task given to me by my father, weakened the Teutonic Knights and Novgorod in ten years, successfully took his place, and that's it." Alexander said lightly, and this finally made Consitine understand why this man resigned from his knighthood after the end of the Battle of Chud Lake, Alexander, who had been fighting with the nobles all along, should not be like this, it turned out that he was the one who wanted to be.

"Seems like you know everything about who I am and everything I have now?" Consid's Dante's voice grew colder.

But Alexander had an indifferent attitude, "Of course, this is what I prepared before, but they don't know, so Your Highness, you can rest assured, for a talented knight like you, Moscow is also very interested, so this time I also want to make a deal with Your Highness, I don't know if you are willing." ”

"What?" Consdor Dante looked at Alexander in front of him warily, this man was so terrible, for ten years, the nobles of Novgorod did not even notice his identity at all, but let him take advantage of the opportunity to expand his strength. But now that Constance Dante still has a trump card, it seems that Alexander does not know who he really is, and this may be able to make a difference.

Regardless, Constance Dante decided to hear what the other man was trying to do. (To be continued.) )
