On this morning, Qin Dong and others appeared again in the city of Constantinople, and were immediately discovered by the official, and Empress Pulkaria immediately ordered the city guards to impose martial law after receiving the news, clean up the streets, and prevent idle people from appearing on the streets to cause unnecessary trouble.

The emperor was in the hands of Qin Dong and others, and the generals and soldiers of the city guards did not dare to act rashly, and cleared all the streets leading to the golden city gate in the west, and also prevented someone from deliberately coming out to stir up the situation and provoke Qin Dong and others to kill the emperor impulsively.

Qin Dong and the others swaggered out of Constantinople in this way, and the empress Pulkaria and the officials who had already arrived stood on the city gate tower and watched Qin Dong and the others walk out of the last city gate.

The whole team stopped, Qin Dong sorted out the formation of the team, asked everyone to turn around and face the direction of Constantinople, and then raised his head and shouted: "Respected Empress Xià, Qin Dong still has a reluctant request, I hope Your Majesty can agree, I heard that the night before yesterday Alpas sent a large army to search the whole city and arrested many Orientals, and now these Orientals are all locked up in prison, I hope Your Majesty can hand over these Orientals to me and take them back, This matter should be a very simple thing for Majesty, right? I'm just waiting here, and I hope to see all the captured people here before noon! ”

After listening to Qin Dong's words, Pulkaria turned her head to look at the commander of the guards and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

The commander of the Guards nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, almost all the Orientals in the whole city have been arrested, and there are nearly six thousand men, women, and children. Because there were too many things in the past two days, the ministers almost forgot about this matter, and were about to let them go after the people below left! ”

Pulkaria nodded, "Order all those people to be brought here from prison immediately!" ”

"Yes. My Majesty! The commander of the Guards gave the order after an answer.

The entourage guards on Qin Dong's side began to sit on the ground in a neat formation one by one, and only a few of the guards who were guarding the emperor's carriage were still standing around the carriage with knife handles in their hands, preventing anyone from suddenly coming to rescue the emperor.

Qin Dong called Alfald to his side and ordered: "You send a few people to find Pethius and the others, and ask him to bring a few people to carry gold coins to contact the people sent by Father Anatorius, bring back a thousand sets of cavalry armor, pay eight thousand gold coins, and place them in the woods ten miles east of the town of Erme." and inform Balhan that he should come and join us with his troops of archers, and that he would raise the banner of his lord along the way."

Alfald saluted, "Okay." My lord, I'll arrange it! ”

Several of the entourage guards who had delivered the order galloped away on horseback, and it was only a little more than an hour later. And he saw a puff of smoke and dust on the west side. The ground began to shake, and it was the cavalry in motion.

Qin Dong and his subordinates knew that it was Balkhand who came to join with the archers, but they scared the queen Pulkaria and other ministers who were sitting on the city gate tower enough, and the beacon tower on the hill in the distance began to emit billowing smoke, and one by one the beacon towers were ignited, and then a long horn of the whole city was also sounded in the city, and the whole Constantinople was in a hurry. Constantinople, which had been very quiet, was noisy at this time, and the streets were full of citizens scurrying around. More citizens are carrying cloth bags and running to the grain and oil store.

People carried cloth bags and ran to the grain and oil store, shouting: "The Huns are coming, the Huns are going to besiege the city, run, run!" ”

Chaos, complete chaos, eight years ago the Huns overnight under more than 70 cities, suddenly under the city of Constantinople, the unsuspecting citizens of Constantinople were scared half to death, there were not many soldiers and horses in the city at that time, Theodosius II could only recruit mercenaries to help defend the city, that night Emperor Theodosius II was also ready to leave Constantinople by ship from the south, after eight years, the Huns came to the city of Constantinople again, fear invaded the hearts of the citizens again.

The law and order situation was very bad, and those unemployed vagrants and ruffians began to take advantage of the chaos at this time to go to the streets to smash and loot everywhere, killing people and setting fires. Traitor.

On the basket of the city gate, the ministers spared their lives, and immediately built yì Queen Pulkaria to return to the palace to temporarily avoid the edge of the Huns, in fact, they themselves were afraid to death, Pulkaria was indeed very afraid, she immediately went down the steps, just got up and was about to leave, she saw a big flag appear in the distance, and then the Hun cavalry appeared, a strange and familiar shout, the figure of the Hun cavalry appeared in the sight of Pulkaria and all the ministers, pointed felt hats, a pair of sheepskin with half of the bare arms, although the temperature in August was a little high, but the Huns were still dressed in sheepskin, and their long knives were constantly wheeled over their heads.

"Hun cavalry, really Hun cavalry, run!" A eunuch on the gate tower couldn't help but scream in fright.

Pulkaria was furious, and immediately shouted: "Bold, disturb the morale of the army at the critical moment, come here, drag this dead eunuch down and cut it down!" ”

"Yes, my majesty!" Several Praetorian guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the eunuch down, and the eunuch was so frightened that he kept screaming.

Balhan's archers' cavalry troops finally appeared, and the number was only a hundred, but because there were nearly three or four hundred horses, the momentum was still very large, but a closer look revealed that this cavalry only had more horses, but the number was very small.

The chief eunuch soon discovered this problem, and he immediately reported: "Dear Empress Xià, you see that the number of cavalry of the Huns is not bad, they only have more horses, and the number is only about a hundred!" ”

"Oh? Is it? When Pulkaria heard the chief eunuch say this, she immediately looked carefully, and sure enough, she turned her head to look at the ministers around her, and sneered at the moment: "Hmph, all of them are important ministers of the empire, and they were scared by this small group of Hun cavalry of about 100 people, don't tell others in the future that I know you, I can't afford to lose this face!" ”

The ministers were all flushed with shame, and they were eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. Immediately after that, Pulkaria said, "What's going on in the city? Could it be that the Hun cavalry of about 100 people had not yet started the war, and the courage of the whole of Constantinople was gone? Where is the commander of the city guards? Immediately ordered him to lead his troops to suppress the riots in the city as quickly as possible. For those ruffians who smash and loot and burn, catch one and kill one by one, and show no mercy! ”

The chief eunuch immediately said, "Obey." My Majesty! ”

Balhan led the team to come quickly, and after a while, he met with Qin Dong, Balhan turned over and dismounted and saluted: "My lord, Balhan led the team to converge, please allow you to join the ranks!" ”

Qin Dong stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Okay, get up, let the brothers be in the ranks!" ”

"Yes. My lord! ”

After Balhan let the archers join the ranks, Qin Dong asked him about the training in the past two months, and Balhan said that everything was smooth. The training did not end a day, and because they were hiding in the forest to the north, almost no one noticed that the soldiers had improved their riding and archery skills and other skills in the past two months.

It didn't take long. Another cavalryman came from the west and reported to Qin Dong that Peteus had brought people to buy back a thousand sets of armor. They are waiting in the small town of Omer.

Everything has been completed, just wait for the five thousand arrested Orientals to come out of the city, with those more than 5,000 Orientals, the number of Orientals under Qin Dong has suddenly increased, and there must be many literate people among them, as long as those people are organized and let them teach, they can live for a few years. There will definitely be a large number of literate people in the territory, and being able to read and write means that there is culture. And with culture, we can create a zào civilization.

When Qin Dong, Liu Yang, Afard, Balhan and others were talking, someone on the opposite city wall called Qin Dong to answer, Qin Dong received the report of his soldiers, got up and walked to the city gate, stopped at a stone's throw and shouted: "What does Her Majesty the Empress have to say?" ”

Pulkaria said loudly: "Qin Dong, what do you mean by this? Why are there so many soldiers and horses under my city? Do you want to attack me Constantinople? ”

Qin Dong laughed: "Your Majesty the Honorable Empress Xià misunderstood, this is just my escort team, we are going back today, they will come over to join us, if I have the heart to attack Constantinople, I am afraid that I don't have to wait until now, Your Majesty the Empress Xià don't worry, you hand over the five thousand Orientals to me, I will naturally leave with my people!" ”

Pulkaria snorted: "It's better to be like this, don't think that you can run rampant in my empire, if it weren't for the emperor's majesty in your hands, this palace would definitely chop you into meat sauce today to vent the hatred in your heart!" Wait for the five thousand people to leave the city, you and your people will get out of the city immediately, don't stay in the territory of our empire, if you let this palace know that you and your people are plundering in my empire, this palace will not let you have a good time! ”

Qin Dong laughed and said: "Your Majesty the Empress, you can rest assured, my army and I are different from other Hun armies, my army does not plunder ordinary civilians, how much money can they have?" If we want to rob your country's official mansions, nobles and those rich people, for example, this time I robbed your country's emperor Xià, it is enough for me and the army to eat for several years, this kind of robbery is simple, affordable, and has plenty of oil and water! Your Majesty, be careful, maybe I'll rob you next time, and I don't know if anyone is willing to ransom you back, hahahaha......."

"You, bastard, poof—" Pulkaria said angrily, opening her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and throwing her head back.

Frightened, the ministers and eunuchs and palace maids changed color in unison and said: "Your Majesty the Queen! ”

Now even the only queen who presides over the overall situation, Pulkariya, was so angry that Qin Dong vomited blood, which made the ministers and generals in chaos, and the palace doctor took a lot of effort to save the queen from waking up, and more than an hour had passed at this time.

When Pulkaria woke up, the ministers and generals breathed a sigh of relief, but Pulkaria was still a little weak, and she asked, "Have the five thousand men been sent out of the city?" ”

The chief eunuch said: "Your Majesty, the honorable queen, is being escorted over, it should be almost there!" ”

"This man is a devil, he is a devil, he doesn't play his cards according to common sense at all, you will always know what he is thinking, he will be the great enemy of my empire, any of you must be careful when you meet him in the future, Leo, is Leo here?" Pulkaria asked Leo after speaking.

Leo was not qualified to stand in front, he was standing behind, and when he heard the queen calling him, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, your humble and loyal servant Leo is here!" ”

Pulkaria said: "Leo, your Balkan province borders the southeast of the Xiongnu, and is directly Qindong's neighbor, you must be careful of him in the future, the border defense must be done well, and resolutely do not let him break into the Balkan province to plunder, but you can't take the initiative to provoke him, this time escort the ransom to the border to exchange for the emperor will be in contact with Qindong mainly with you, you must be exchanged for the emperor's majesty, and you must ensure the safety of the emperor's majesty!" ”

Leo saluted, "Yes, my majesty, you must take care of your health, your humble and loyal servant Leo is still waiting to serve you!" ”

It didn't take long for the more than 5,000 Orientals who were captured to be sent outside the city, and Qin Dong's men took over, and after reorganizing the team, Qin Dong said to Pulkaria: "Dear Empress Pulkaria, the Emperor will temporarily go to stay with me for a few days, I hope this journey will be safe and sound, your army had better help us clean up the bandits who disturb along the way, if there are bandits appearing, it will not be good to hurt the Emperor Majesty in the fight, In addition, it is best for the Empress to send the ransom I asked for to the border line east of Dirmit City, the Emperor is delicate, I am afraid that he will not be able to live in the bitter cold land of Saibei for a long time, Qin Dong will leave, I hope to see the Empress Majesty again in my lifetime, take care of your Majesty! ”

Qin Dong's words were not provocative and sarcastic, but every word carried a threat, from here to Dirmit, I am afraid that no one would dare to ignore the safety of the emperor and be unfavorable to Qin Dong and others, the queen Pulkaria on the city gate tower said coquettishly: "Qin Dong, the emperor is the body of ten thousand gold, I hope that before our ransom is served, the emperor can be best taken care of, your people are all rough men, I am afraid that you will not take good care of your majesty, I have two maids here, the most good at serving, I hope to send them over to take care of the Emperor's food and daily life! ”

Qin Dong knew that he and the others were now in the place of other people's henchmen, and if one was not good, they would all fall here, so it was better to be careful, so he immediately refused: "Your Majesty the Empress is too worried, I will find two docile women to serve the emperor, and I won't worry about Her Majesty the Queen!" Farewell"

After Qin Dong finished speaking, he shouted: "All turn back and go!" ”

"Hey, Qin, wait for me!" Soma's shouts came from behind, and Qin Dong looked back, and the kraft candy was sticking again. (To be continued......)
