Chapter 364: **Countess
Along the way, the citizens of Constantinople cursed while smashing things, and the tone was extremely vicious, which showed how much they resented Clepisaeus, and despite the Hun soldiers standing guard along the way, there was a small commotion, but it quickly subsided.
When he arrived at Constantine Square, Qin Dong dismounted and walked up to the chair behind the guillotine and sat down, and Clepisaeus was tied up and put on the guillotine to face all the citizens.
"Son of a bitch, Crepisaus, kill him!" Cursing and noise continued until noon, when the citizens were stopped by the soldiers several times when they stormed the cordon. When the execution arrived, a former Constantinople official who had defected to the front and loudly announced the guilt of Clepisaus, so that everyone knew that the time for the execution was coming.
Sure enough, after the officials announced the crime of Clepisaeus, Qin Dong stood up and loudly announced the execution, and the shirtless executioner with a large knife in both hands waved the knife and cut it off, a big head rolled to the ground, Qin Dong immediately got up and rode away, and the soldiers also withdrew, and the citizens who had been impatient for a long time rushed up and tore the body of Clepizaus to pieces.
After the events of Clepisaus, the citizens of Constantinople calmed down again, the market began to prosper, and the maritime trade was also active, and the Eastern Empire still wanted to recover Constantinople, so the merchants and ships that came out of Constantinople were allowed to go, and the naval fleet of the Eastern Empire in the Sea of Marmara could only cruise overseas, and did not dare to approach the waters of Constantinople, where the naval fleet of the Huns patrolled. Although the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu's naval fleet still needs to be improved, in the coastal waters, they are not afraid of the naval fleet of the Eastern Empire. There is the cover of the arrow tower on the sea wall, and the Hun soldiers who defended the coastal defense have installed large bed crossbows on the arrow tower, and a large number of trebuchets and ballistae are also installed on the top of the sea wall and the arrow tower, which are all sharp weapons for defending the city, and the naval fleet of the Eastern Empire does not dare to approach lightly, so they can only wander in the distance.
Qin Dong didn't think about attacking the Asia Minor Peninsula now, and with his current strength, he could only occupy so much territory. If you have more, you will not be able to catch it, and as for the rest of the Eastern Empire, you will conquer it when it is stronger in the future. And now that the Eastern Empire has gathered a large army and built fortifications across the strait next to Constantinople, it will not be easy to fight it in one fell swoop.
Constantinople had settled down, and the townspeople did not show any hostility towards the city's new masters, after all, the Huns not only did not harm them. And when they were starving, they also gave food to help. And killed the culprit, which made them very fond of the new masters, and even began to support, especially the slaves and commoners, because Qin Dong promulgated the abolition of slavery and a series of policies to benefit the people in Constantinople as always, so that the slaves were restored to their free status, and the commoners were benefited, and these people have been faithfully used by Qin Dong to rule the city. As for the nobles of the former Eastern Empire, who were just imaginary and powerless, they no longer had any strength or right to speak against them, but many of these nobles still maintained an unwelcome attitude towards the Xiongnu troops entering the city that night. Many people have been killed, and many people have been arrested, and they have not been released until now.
On this day, Qin Dong was processing the official document sent from Saidika, and the secretary came in to report: "My lord, there is a young lady outside who claims to be Count Meknejelina who asks to see you, I don't know if you see it or not?" ”
"Nope!" Qin Dong waved his hand to let the secretary go out without thinking about it, and scolded in his heart, what count and marquis, are these nobles of Constantinople still valuable?
The secretary bowed and said, "Yes, my lord! "Then he went out and went out.
Qin Dong's mind was suddenly a little familiar with the name of this earl, and he hurriedly said, "Wait, what did you just say about this earl's name?" Meck....Nirvana....What Count? ”
The secretary said, "Count Mekne, Count Gerina! ”
"A beautiful young lady? In your thirties? ”
When the secretary heard this, he looked at Qin Dong's eyes with a strange expression, and affirmed: "Yes, the king!" ”
"You go and invite her in, arrange to wait in the living room, and say hello!"
"Yes!"
After Qin Dong finished handling the matter at hand, he got up and went to the living room, only to see a young lady wearing a purple and breastless court dress leaning against the window and watching the birds pecking outside.
Qin Dongtong Guò observed the side of this noble lady's face and affirmed that this woman was the countess he met when he came to Constantinople a few years ago, and this woman was also the head of the intelligence team of the black network organization in Constantinople, and her boss was Liu San's general Mole.
"Ahem!" Qin Dong coughed and reminded Meknejielina that someone was coming.
After hearing the voice, Meknejielina hurriedly turned around, saw Qin Dong coming in and hurriedly saluted: "Meknejielina has seen the king!" ”
Qin Dong stepped forward and helped Meknejie Lina up with a smile: "It's been four years, but the earl is still so radiant and beautiful!" ”
Meknejielina showed a look of joy on her face after hearing the flattery in Qin Dong's words, and hurriedly said: "The king is more powerful and majestic than four years ago, when I first saw the king, the king was still a slave in the arena, and his identity in the Xiongnu was only a centurion, and in just four years, the king became the actual controller of the entire Xiongnu Empire, and he has the power to dominate the world and look down on all beings."
"Hahaha......" Qin Dong laughed happily, and then began to talk with Meknejielina.
The two of them chatted happily, drinking red wine, chatting over and over again about the affairs of the city of Constantinople and the gossip news of the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Empire, women are often more interested in this aspect than men gossip, and Meknejelina couldn't keep her mouth shut when she said it.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Qin Dong asked Meknejie Lina to stay and have dinner together, and took the time to tell the guards to arrange dinner to make it a little more sumptuous. Of course, Meknejielina can't help this, she has something to do, and now the thing has not been done. Of course you can't go.
The dinner was very rich, Qin Dong and Mekne Jielina sat at both ends of the rectangular dining table, the table was full of exquisite dishes and red wine, and the light of the candles in the candlestick illuminated the surroundings, this was the candlelight dinner, which made a little strange atmosphere, which was also something that Qin Dong did not expect. But for Mekne, Gerina, it's red. Bare. Nude hints that she is in a state of spring love while eating fine food. On the one hand, he secretly sent Qiu Bo to Qin Dong.
Qin Dong has not touched a woman for so long, although this woman is thirty years old, she is well maintained, and she has the charm of a mature lady. The fire in Qin Dong's body was hooked out at once.
"The King. What kind of dish is this, and why does it taste so good? After eating such a delicacy, I am afraid that I will not want to eat anything else in the future," Meknejielina said in a greasy voice.
Qin Dong said with a smile: "This is simple, this king can let the chef teach the skills of making these dishes to Madame's chef, and Madame can eat these delicious dishes every day!" ”
"Really? That's so much to the king, the king is kind to me, I will never forget it for the rest of my life! ”
Ghost believes! Qin Dong secretly said in his heart, twelve out of ten sentences of such a woman are lies. He smiled, took a sip of red wine, and asked, "The Earl must have come to see this king today." It's been so long, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable to hold it in my heart, say it, those who can help will definitely help, and those who can't help can only say sorry! ”
After hearing this, Meknejielina put down her knife and fork, wiped her red sexy lips and said, "Okay, it is true that there is something that the king wants to fulfill, didn't the king's soldiers arrest some officials and nobles?" There are a few people in it who are my friends, and I would like to ask the king to let them go, after all, it has been so long, and now that the king has issued a decree abolishing slavery and co-opting their private armies, these people have completely no power to threaten the king and your rule, what else do you have to worry about? If you let them go, you can show the world the king's big heart, don't you? ”
In fact, for these people, Qin Dong has long wanted to let them go, there is no need to kill them, and it is not conducive to rebellion and surrender to other Roman nobles in the future, there is no threat to them, but he has been too busy to forget about this matter during this time, how to say that Meknezylina also helped a lot in the process of taking out Constantinople four years ago, and now Meknejielina came to intercede, Qin Dong was also happy to sell her face, and pushed the boat down the river to release the person, and returned her favor.
Qin Dong thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, since Madame personally came to intercede, this king can't help but give Madame this face, but there is one thing I ask Madame to tell those people, let them go, but they can't leave Constantinople for a short time, they must go to the city hall every Monday to report to the mayor's questioning, if any of them are found to oppose the rule of this king, engage in acts that subvert the rule of this king, and endanger the society and citizens, their fate will be the same as that of Clepisaus!" ”
Meknezelina nodded, "Okay, King, I'll bring these!" ”
Qin Dong said again: "Madame, as an active figure in the aristocratic circle of Constantinople, I would like to ask Madame for a favor to help this king monitor the actions of the old and young in the former Eastern Empire, if there is any abnormal situation, please report to this king or the mayor in time, in return, this king will write to our country's big single Yu, canonize Mrs. as a first-class earl of our country, and the title is 'Rose', this title must be very compatible with Madame, I don't know if Madame is still satisfied?" ”
It is very difficult to obtain the title, this is the same no matter where it is, the reason why Qin Dong did this is one as an exchange condition, and the other is to repay the favor of this woman who saved him back then. Meknejielina showed surprise on her face, this is simply a pie falling from the sky, now she is not only the count of the Eastern Empire, but also the count of rose of the Hun Empire, whether it is in the Hun Empire or the Eastern Empire, she hurriedly said: "Thank you for the grace of the king!" Then he blushed and said, "King, I'm a little drunk, I don't know if I can borrow the king's bed to rest for the night?" ”
"Of course!" Qin Dong laughed and walked over to Mekne, Jielina, picked her up, and walked to the bedroom. (To be continued......)
