After Qin Dong chased into the special passage, those palace guards, palace maids and eunuchs were terrified, and the commander of the guards knew that it was not a way to run like this, and Qin Dong would catch up with them sooner or later, so someone had to lead the team to stop Qin Dong, leaving four guards to continue to protect Emperor Marcian and Empress Pulkaria back to the palace, and he returned with dozens of palace guards to block Qin Dong's pursuit.

Marcian is a military general, to be honest, he really wants to go back to fight Qin Dong to the death, as an emperor, he was chased so wolf, it would be embarrassing to say it, but he didn't dare, if he was still twenty years younger, he would definitely have the guts and courage to return to fight Qin Dong, but now that he is fifty-seven years old, it is a little difficult to ride a horse, let alone do it with others. After watching the guard commander return with people to stop Qin Dong, he immediately said to the others: "Let's hurry up, hurry back to the palace, whoever is that, you go back first to convey my will, and order the Praetorian Guards to come and escort immediately!" ”

"Yes, my majesty!" The named guard said yes and ran briskly forward.

Qin Dong took a big stride and ran after him, and after a while, he met the commander of the guards with dozens of guards coming to intercept him, Qin Dong rushed over with a big sword and slashed without saying a word.

At this time, Qin Dong didn't need to retain his strength, in the blink of an eye, blood flowed all over the passage, and even the walls were full of blood, after slashing and slashing, Qin Dong glanced back at the headless corpse of the guard, and rushed forward again, he had to catch up with Marcian, and capture him alive.

Due to the presence of Queen Pulkaria, this woman's body is not good. It couldn't go fast, so Marcian and the others didn't go far before they were caught up by Qin Dong.

The chief eunuch was frightened half to death, and immediately pointed to the only three remaining guards and shouted, "You three quickly stop him!" Stop him! ”

After receiving the order, the three guards turned around and stopped Qin Dong. Qin Dong swung his sword and quickly slashed a few times, hacking the three guards who blocked the road to death in three or two strokes, and more than ten meters in front of him were Marcian and Pulkaria and other people.

At such a close distance, even if an angel descended, he couldn't stop Qin Dong from catching Marcian, Marcian also knew that he couldn't run away, he didn't expect that he would fall to this step, if he caught Qin Dong in the first place, he would kill him. This will not happen now, and they all blame themselves for calculating this and that, and in the end, they will calculate themselves. I really regret not being at the beginning.

"Hey, kid, come home with me!" Qin Dong gasped and walked over with a big sword and made a joke.

Marcian and Pulkaria and the other eunuchs and ladies did not find this funny at all. The eunuchs and palace maids had already been paralyzed by fright. The others were no better, and Marcian felt that he should face it bravely as an emperor at this time, and he forced himself to calm down: "The person you want is me, let them go!" ”

Marcian's words surprised Pulkaria, she didn't expect Marcian to think not of his own safety at this time, but of them, she and Marcian were only husband and wife in name, and they were also political opponents. Even if they make money together during this time, it can't erase the fact that they are people from two political camps. Marxian didn't abandon them and flee regardless of them, but stayed by himself and let Qin Dong let them go, maybe this is a man's responsibility, right?

Qin Dong looked at Marcian's side and behind him, and just glanced at the other eunuchs and maids, but his gaze stayed on Pulkaria, although this woman was in her fifties, the years didn't seem to have left any traces on her face, and through the clothes and headdresses and other items on this woman's body, Qin Dong instantly judged the identity of this woman.

He stepped forward and took two steps to bow to Pulkaria's chest, then got up and said, "Presumably this is Her Royal Highness the former eldest princess and the respected current Empress of the Eastern Roman Empire, Her Majesty Pulkaria, right?" Qin Dong, the commander of the southeastern border defense area of the Balkan region of the Great Hun Empire, respects you! ”

Qin Dong still admires this woman very much, think about the current era, whether it is the East or the West, the status of women is very low, Pulkaria has controlled the power of the Eastern Roman Empire for more than thirty years as a daughter, and she is only the sister of the previous emperor Theodosius II, she is not inferior to her aunt Plasidia, the Empress Dowager of the Western Roman Empire.

Qin Dong's self-reported home made Marcian and Pulkaria shocked, and the other palace maids and eunuchs were even more unbearable, they had already heard of the cruelty of the Huns, Marcian and Pulkaria were surprised: "Aren't you from the East?" How did you become a Huns? ”

Qin Dong smiled: "I'm from the East, and now I'm an official of the Huns, that's all!" Well, since His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, Qin Dong can't help but give face, His Majesty the Queen, you and the other eunuchs and palace maids can go, Your Majesty the Emperor must go with me, if you want His Majesty the Emperor to come back safe and sound, you must prepare 10,000 pounds of gold, 10,000 sets of cavalry armor and a full set of weapons and equipment, 1 million pounds of wheat, 200,000 pounds of pig iron, 200,000 Luo feet of cloth, 500 craftsmen of all kinds, 1,000 women over fifteen years old, and 1,000 women under thirty, that's all! After the preparations are made, send them to the border outside the city of Dimit, and I will naturally send someone to receive them when the time comes! ”

"What? You, you robber, you are more robber than a robber! Pulkaria screamed angrily after hearing the ransom demanded by Qin Dong.

Qin Dong smiled and said, "Honorable Empress Xià, no matter what, Emperor Xià is also your husband, your husband is now captured by me, do you want to do your best to rescue him?" Otherwise, how would you, as a wife and empress, account to the subjects of the entire empire? If you don't get your husband back, what will your subjects think of you? We are a bitter cold place, and the emperor is also old, I'm afraid I can't stay there for a long time, if we get sick, we don't have a good doctor, so it's best for the queen to do it as quickly as possible according to my requirements, in addition, I'm afraid I will have to bother the imperial army to escort us, after all, there are too many bandits on the way back. It's too insecure, my esteemed Empress Xià, your faithful servant Qin Dong is here to take his leave. We hope you take care! ”

After Qin Dong finished speaking, he grabbed Marcian, slashed his neck with a palm and knocked him unconscious, and turned around and left on his broad shoulders.

"Ah, my majesty, what can I do about this, the villain is guilty, the villain is guilty......." Qin Dong left. The chief eunuch threw himself on his knees and cried.

Pulkaria watched Qin Dong's back disappear behind the passage, and heard the cry of the chief eunuch in the chamberlain, which was when she was in an extremely bad mood and depressed. Immediately said angrily: "Enough, don't howl, if you are loyal, why didn't you swear to protect the emperor just now?" Get up for me! Go back to the palace immediately. Convene the ministers to discuss the rescue of His Majesty the Emperor. Convey the will of the palace, as long as Qin Dong goes, a qiē city and checkpoint must not be blocked, if the emperor is hurt because of someone, the palace must let him not die well! ”

The chief eunuch immediately stopped crying and immediately responded: "Yes, the villain will convey your will immediately!" ”

Although Marcian is only Pulkaria's nominal husband, Marcian is her façade after all. Yu Gong, she must save him. If Marcian dies in an accident, she must find another husband to inherit the throne, otherwise the Western Roman Empire will come over to take over the throne, she is already in her fifties, and she really can't afford to find another husband, so she would rather spend more money, doesn't Qin Dong just want money and equipment? Just give it to him, the empire is huge, and this little thing can still be taken out. However, Qin Dong did ask for a lot of ransom, when Breda hit the city of Constantinople, he only needed 6,000 pounds of gold in compensation, but if it was really compared, Qin Dong's chips were much bigger, after all, the emperor was arrested by him.

For selfishness, Pulkaria also wants to save Marsian, if it wasn't for Marcian just now, it is likely that she Pulkaria will also be taken away by Qin Dong, it is reasonable that she should be grateful to him, and at that time, the emperor and empress of the empire have been taken captive, the entire empire has no leader, and the regime has fallen into a power vacuum, and then the whole empire will be in chaos, followed by warlords everywhere, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that the subjects of the entire empire will no longer be able to raise their heads, and the emperor and empress have been taken captive, Do the subjects of the empire eat dry food? Don't you be laughed off by the surrounding neighboring countries?

The emperor and empress are the supreme heads of the empire, if they are all taken captive, it already means that the country is hopeless, and even their own emperor and empress can't protect them, what else can they do? The people of the Empire, who had always considered themselves to be the legitimate subjects of the Roman Empire, could only resent and even hate the regime.

Prime Minister Alpas just broke out when the riot just happened, under the protection of several guards, he withdrew from the ordinary passage with the audience, he originally wanted to follow the emperor from the special passage, but when he saw Qin Dong actually kill directly to the emperor's stand, he decisively chose to run with the ordinary audience.

The first thing he did when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion was to send someone to inquire about the news of the palace, there was no need to worry about this, he had eyeliner in the palace, and the news came quickly, after getting the news that Emperor Marcian was taken away by Qin Dong, Alpas was shocked, but he quickly calmed down, he planned a plan, he quickly thought it through, he immediately issued an order to impose martial law and search in the whole city on the grounds that the emperor was abducted by death row prisoners, as the prime minister, the administrative power is in his hands, Moreover, both father and son were well-known ministers, and there were many generals in the army who were his men, so this order made the city guards have to obey the order.

Soon after his order was issued, a loud trumpet sounded in the city of Constantinople, and upon hearing this trumpet, the golden gates and some military gates to the west were immediately shut, and soon the seaside gates to the piers to the east, south, and north were also quickly closed.

In addition to the city guards, which is responsible for law and order, there are also the guards and the royal guards, among which the guards are the largest in number and have strong combat effectiveness, the royal guards are only responsible for the security of the palace, and the number is small, and there are two standing armies also stationed in the city, which are the seventh and ninth legions, both of which are field legions, a total of more than 13,000 people, all of which are controlled by the prime minister Alpas.

After receiving Alpas's order, the Seventh and Ninth Legions quickly came out of the barracks and began to impose martial law in the city, and surrounded the Colosseum from four directions, south, south, and north, and gradually narrowed the encirclement.

But it was said that Qin Dong carried Marsian back to the exit passage under the emperor's stand, and that Alphard and the others were engaged in a fierce battle with the guards and soldiers of the gladiatorial arena, and when Qin Dong ran out of the special passage, he was immediately seen by one of the entourage guards, and immediately said: "The lord is out, the lord is out!" ”

Alfard, who was directing the battle, immediately shouted: "Protect your lordship, let's retreat!" ”

The guards in the front row, armed with large swords, immediately retreated, and the archers in the back fired a few more rounds of arrows at the soldiers on the racecourse before calmly withdrawing.

"Are you alright, sir?" Alfald saw that Qin Dong was covered in blood, and hurriedly asked.

Qin Dong smiled: "It's okay, these are the blood of those palace guards, look who I brought back, this is the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Marcian, come, look, take a good look at what the emperor looks like, I think this is the first time you have seen the emperor's dignity!" ”

Alphard and dozens of entourage guards were overjoyed when they heard this, and the excitement that followed was extraordinary, this is the emperor, these dozens of them actually captured the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, it was too exciting! Alfald and dozens of entourage guards were overwhelmed with excitement.

Qin Dong handed over the unconscious Marcian to Alfald and instructed him to take care of Marcian and not to go on any business trips, and then asked, "What about the others?" ”

Alfald asked a few of his attendants to carry Marcian on his shoulder, and he replied, "Lord Liu Yang and his men are guarding the exit for us outside, and Master Pethius and Charlie Cao have already gone out of the city gate with non-combatants, and they are waiting for us outside the city!" ”

"Okay" Qin Dong raised his big sword and said: "Let's go, let's join Brother Liu Yang, and then quickly go out of the city!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The group quickly got out of the gladiatorial arena, and sure enough, they saw Liu Yang holding a long knife and guarding the exit with more than 30 followers, and there was no one on the street outside, and the sky was beginning to darken at this time, and it was about to get dark.

"Big brother!"

"Virtuous brother!"

When the brothers met, they were naturally overjoyed, Qin Dong and Liu Yang hugged each other, and Qin Dong said: "Big brother, this place is not suitable for a long time, we still take advantage of the fact that the army in the city has not been ordered, and immediately kill out of the city, so as not to be blocked in the city!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Then Liu Yang also knew that Qin Dong had caught Marcian, so he was naturally surprised, no matter what, with the emperor in his hands, their safety should be no problem, but this kind of thing is not good, if someone wants the emperor to die, they may not admit that it is the emperor Marcian in their hands.
