In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Byzantine heavy cavalry, dressed in heavy armor and armed with more than three meters of Cambes riding spears, arrogantly drove around the hotel. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

The old nobles who had just experienced a coup d'état, and the elders and nobles who came to sell the land immediately turned pale with fright when they saw this big battle, trembling and wanting to hide to the side, and several blackmailed officers of the N generation also shivered smartly.

The fear lasted until the cavalry cracked, clad in full white gold armor, covered with numerous medals of honor, and the high feathered helmets emitted a scarlet color in the sun.

This guy's name is Leo. Taku vaguely, Emperor Consul's most loyal lackey, imperial consul, general with full responsibility for the defense of Constantinople, a while ago, the rebellion of the co-ruling emperor Theodosius was suppressed by him, and according to legend, the emperor's brother Theodosius was cut into several pieces by him with a knight's sword.

At such a sensitive time, it was really fatal for so many of his people to gather here, and in the midst of the fear of a large number of Byzantine nobles shrinking back, Leo dismounted, and walked towards the hotel with a gloomy face and heavy boots under the sword of several guards.

The second generation of several officers who were blackmailing saw this killing god coming towards him and others, and they were almost not frightened, but in the end, they were nobles, and their heads were better than ordinary people, and with a roll of their eyes, the guy in the lead immediately ran over with a high shout.

"General! Checkmate! This Fujian people want to gather a crowd to rebel! Your subordinates found out in time, and just as they were about to bring them to justice, you came......"

Syllable~

Leo's iron glove slapped him directly, and in the stunned eyes of many Byzantine nobles, the poor young officer, who had never been in battle, flew out like a kite.

Wu Yuanqing and Leonti couldn't help but show a heartfelt sneer.

Seeing his head spit out a mouthful of bloody white teeth and foaming at the mouth like a snake with cramps on the ground, several second-generation officers were stupid, their dyed blonde hair was completely **** with sweat all of a sudden, and the remaining four sons and brothers all knelt down one after another, kowtowing their heads.

Seeing this, Leo didn't continue to act aggressively, and directly waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, arrest these bastards who disrupt the transaction." ”

The wolf-like ironclad cavalry rushed forward, dragging the stupid boy and the unlucky ghost who was foaming on the ground and turned to leave, without any mud and water, and the Byzantine general himself turned around and left, turned over and led the man backwards, and Leonti, who chased him out and wanted to say something about the scene, was embarrassed, and spat on Leo's back stupidly.

"Whoever wants to sell land next, hurry up, our brother has a limited amount of time."

Not at all like the senators, but like villains, Leonti's vicious voice made a group of nobles who were anxiously selling their land suddenly wake up, even if Leo didn't let out a fart, the meaning of protecting Leonti was also clear at a glance, and the relieved Byzantine landlords flocked forward.

Ignoring the lively scene of selling land, leaning leisurely on the second floor of the hotel, Hou Jie's eyes never left the back of General Leo who led his troops away in the distance, don't look at him coming over to stand up for Wu Yuanqing, in fact, it is also a matter of interest, Wu Yuanqing and Leonti promised to receive the land directly counted as two floors to him, as for whether he can keep it? That general doesn't have confidence in himself?

Although the annexation of land is a cooperative relationship for the time being, Leo is a loyal lackey of the Byzantine emperor, otherwise Constans would not be at ease to leave him to guard Constantinople when he fled and planned to move the capital.

But at present, Hou Jie didn't see any weakness from him, this person is loyal, cold-blooded, fearless, and not greedy, if it weren't for Wu Yuanqing's proposal, he could use the expropriated land as a military cantonment to supply food to the defenders of Constantinople, and this person would not agree to act as a protective umbrella.

The tricky enemy made Hou Jie frown, and at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, making Hou Jie's scalp numb and looking back.

"Zhonghujun, everything you want is ready!"

It's still that cold mask, but since he and Wu Yuanqing went to the peach-colored Roman baths yesterday, Li Que has been in a bad mood, and she is working against herself everywhere, seeing her holding her arms and holding her bag high, Hou Jie can't help but smile helplessly.

"Let's go, then!"

In later generations, there was foreign exchange, at this time, there was also Fujian, silk, porcelain, spices, gold, silver and copper coins, Fujian had a wealth of about 300,000 dinars in Constantinople, but even if the land here fell to the price of cabbage, the land near fertile Constantinople was still worth at least one million dinars, and the money could only buy about three layers.

Fortunately, Wu Yuanqing's wanton acquisition attracted a few fools to follow suit, and as long as the support was enough for these few days, it was enough for Hou Jie to carry out his next plan, and making money was not the purpose of coming here, so he ordered a few guards to take care of the property and Wu Yuanqing in the hotel, hire a few small guys, and bring a lot of strange things, Hou Jie led the blind old man Li Que out again.

It's really a person who relies on clothes, just yesterday he just mixed into the Orthodox bishopric of Constantinople, changed into the big red robe of the preparatory bishop, and then equipped with "artifacts", all kinds of "faith bonus" cross decorations, and also held a staff with a silver cross staff in his hand, Paul is really mixed up like a dog, he never dreamed that he, a Syrian priest, and mixed with the bishop, although he is only a preparatory bishop, has no rights.

As agreed, he led his stupid apprentice to wait at the corner of the street, and when he saw Hou Jie, Paul hurriedly and respectfully bent over: "The little one has seen the Zhonghu Army." ”

He knows that he is not a fart without Hou Jie, of course he has to tie up.

"Have you done what you were told?" At this time, Hou Jie is arrogant, he needs to have an attitude towards whomever he needs, Paul is definitely a greedy and lustful villain, and it is easy to get on his nose when he gives him a good face.

Hou Jie's question made Paul's face bitter, and he bent down sadly: "My lord, according to your instructions, I have already submitted the application for the selection of official bishops, but I have just joined the church, and the villain is already in a high position, and then such a monkey is in such a hurry to fight for power, is it too hostile, besides, the selection of official bishops, the villain does not have enough fame!" ”

Paul's originally compassionate and holy face was directly pulled into a bitter melon, but unfortunately Hou Jie didn't understand him at all, but arrogantly waved his sleeves directly and said: "The general's major affairs are the priority, otherwise, what use do you want?" ”

Paul hurriedly lowered his head respectfully again, seeing that the old boy's bitter gourd face was getting longer and longer, but the corners of Hou Jie's mouth couldn't help but show a weird smile.

"Not enough fame, right? Today Ben will help you mix up fame! ”

Dangdangdang~

The gongs that were originally prevalent in the Central Plains were also ringing in Byzantium, and a dozen or so hired Byzantines struck desperately a few times, and the Byzantine residents who were on pilgrimage to the Basilica of the Holy Apostles near the center of Constantinople couldn't help but be attracted by the bustle.

"It's Archbishop Paul!"

Mixed in the crowd of nursery, Paul's apprentice Ma Barbisi played a role at this time, yesterday one day, with the money bag given by Hou Jie, this Tianzhu boy tried his best, either to pay for people to see a doctor, or to pray together, or to accumulate virtue and do good, anyway, how to attract people's attention and how to come, it is not bad money, just one day, he followed the believers in Constantinople to mix up a small circle.

As soon as they saw the celebrities in their small circle admiring, the Constantinople crowd around them immediately became curious, gathered around, and asked curiously: "Little brother, do you know this bishop?" ”

"Of course!" Ma Barbisi's face was immediately full of reverence, as if he were a pilgrimage, and he looked at Paul, who was sitting cross-legged in the scorching sun under the strange gaze of everyone, full of saints, and for a while, whetted everyone's appetite, and this kid explained under the anxious urging of the believers in Constantinople.

"Archbishop Paul is my savior, and he is also the savior of dozens of people in our village!"

"That was still in Syria, that year, the Islamic cultists killed our hometown, arrested all our villagers, and wanted to kill their heads to worship their evil gods, oh, you don't know, such a thick blade has been attached to our necks, and the Arab barbarians are about to cut it down under the orders of the commander!"

The so-called childcare is to be able to blow, Ma Barbie's west mouth is like a river, the spitting star flies directly, the surrounding audience is stunned, and the people farther away nearby are also sticking their ears up, and the atmosphere is full.

"Just when I thought my life was on the line, guess what? Archbishop Paul appeared. ”

"The archbishop first reprimanded those Arab barbarian soldiers with righteous words, but how could those barbarians listen to the archbishop, after some arguments, the archbishop had no choice but to consult with the Arab barbarians and pray for us one last time, and this time the barbarians agreed."

"And guess what? As soon as the archbishop knelt down in prayer, a halo rose above his head, and the solemn and holy appearance was as if Christ had come, and all the Arab barbarians were stupid at once. ”

"Really?" Of course, the people around didn't believe it, and looked suspiciously at Paul, who was sitting on the rough stone at the entrance of the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles, sweating in the rich sun, and asked how much of an insult Ma Barbissi seemed to have been insulted, and slapped his thigh angrily: "What am I lying to you for?" Forget it, I guess Archbishop Paul is going to ask the Holy Spirit to appear in the world again, and you will see for yourselves in a moment! ”

More and more believers were attracted by the sound of gongs, and the story of Ma Barbisi became more and more bizarre, but hundreds of believers were all curious about Paul, and many people knew that there was a saint Archbishop Paul in Syria.

However, in the eyes of all the people, sitting on the big rough stone, the sweat on Paul's head was flowing down like a stream, just in front of him, a big fire was stirred and burned, in the curious onlookers of the crowd, Li Que commanded the congregation to carry a cauldron over, the pot was full of oil.

After a while, in the exclamation of the crowd, the oil pot crackled and boiled, and he raised his head suddenly, Paul's sweat was even more wet with half of his shoulders like rain, and he looked at the crowd of onlookers, and fell to his knees with a thud, and said highly.

"Christ!! Now that cults are rampant, and your followers are living in misery, and under the sword of the Arabs, and all beings are suffering, O suffering, exchange my suffering for your salvation, Christ, manifest thy spirit! ”
