The structure and defense of the prison, Qin Dongtong Guò has a general understanding these days, if you want to escape, you must break through from the outside, it is basically impossible to escape from the inside, and if you break through from the outside, you must break through to the underground cell within a quarter of an hour to take Qin Dong away, otherwise you will be blocked in the prison by a large number of troops, because there is a military camp of the Guards not far away, and you can definitely arrive within a quarter of an hour.

After coming to this conclusion, Qin Dong was very disappointed, according to the structure of the prison, it is basically impossible for his men to break through to the dungeon within a quarter of an hour, the internal structure of the prison is suitable for defense, a few bows can guard the long corridor leading to the dungeon, and there are about three hundred soldiers in the entire prison, after all, most of the prisoners in the entire Constantinople are held here, and these three hundred soldiers are not dead.

Even with the help of outsiders, Qin Dongtong found that it was impossible to escape in a short period of time, unless there was an accident that weakened the prison's defenses.

After coming to such a conclusion, Qin Dong was very frustrated, but he did not get depressed, since he couldn't escape from the ground, it was okay to find a way from the underground, that is, to dig a tunnel.

However, there is a great risk in digging tunnels, although Constantinople is on the seashore, but the soil here is not loose, and the seashore can be built with walls, can its soil be loose? Because the soil is hard, it takes a long time to dig a tunnel from the outside to enter the prison or dig directly into the dungeon, Qin Dong roughly estimated that according to the amount of work, it will take at least a month and a half to dig through. But will anything happen during this time? What if in the middle of this, official Constantinople wants to kill himself? So wasn't the previous work of digging tunnels in vain?

Qin Dong didn't sleep all night, so he sat cross-legged on a chair high above the water surface of the dungeon and thought about this problem, weighing a lot before he made up his mind to dig a tunnel. Haven't others thought of digging tunnels? Someone must have thought of using the method of digging tunnels to help the people in the prison escape, the key is that ordinary people do not have so many manpower, and Qin Dong has manpower, not to mention a hundred archers hidden outside the city, that is, more than seventy guards in the city can complete this work, and this job does not require many, many people, but it cannot be only a few people. These 70 or so people can take turns to dig, so that the work efficiency can be improved, and other prisoners can be accompliced even if they are outside. How many people can there be? Two or three at most, two or three people until when? Who has that good patience?

After deciding, Qin Dong began to prepare, and he wanted to inform his sworn brother Liu Yang, who was outside, and his subordinates Peteus and Afald. There is also the bull's nose of Charlie Cao.

He tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes. Without pen and ink, you can only bite your fingers and write some traditional Chinese characters in regular script with blood, this cloth will be sent to Liu Yang's hands by the jailers who dig out the dung, and only Liu Yang can understand the Chinese characters, even if the prison or the official gets this cloth, it is not easy to recognize the words on it and then translate it, after all, there are not many people who can read Chinese in Constantinople, and others may not know that it is written in Chinese.

in Constantinople and throughout the Eastern Roman Empire. The official language is Latin, but Greek is more widely spoken. After the Middle Ages, Greek was used as a stepping stone to enter the upper class, and if a nobleman did not know Greek, he would be laughed off.

In the afternoon, Qin Dong was lying in the open space of the prison basking in the sun in the last quarter of the wind time, and the dung jailer still pushed the dung cart past him, he suddenly got up and stuffed the cloth ball that had been prepared into the pocket of the dung jailer at a very fast speed, and the dung jailer seemed to be aware, but he didn't say anything, and pushed the dung cart away unhurriedly as usual.

After that, Qin Dong waited for the news, and finally in the afternoon of the next day, the dung jailer also passed by him and threw a cloth ball, Qin Dong quietly put away the cloth ball, and after returning to the dungeon, he unfolded the cloth ball, only to see the cloth group written on it: "Brother Xian, your letter, brother has received it, brother has already informed your subordinates, let one of his cadres and others dig the tunnel with all their might, in order to get the good brother out of the cage as soon as possible, see the light of day again, every qiē is good, don't worry about the good brother, take care, brother and others look forward to getting together with the good brother as soon as possible, brother, Feihong!" ”

After reading this secret letter, Qin Dong breathed a sigh of relief, the only thing he was worried about was that the secret letter could not be delivered to Liu Yang, and now that he received Liu Yang's reply, his heart finally landed.

As the days passed, Qin Dong stabilized himself on the prison side, and almost had three hours of time outside every day, which made his body not deteriorate because of the dark and damp environment for a long time, but gradually got better because he had enough time to train, because the prison food was not very good, so that his body could not completely recover to its previous state, which made him a little anxious, and he sometimes kept shouting in the dungeon: I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat. This kind of life without meat soon came to an end, and it was because of one person.

"Hahaha, Father, I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't think that you have become the patriarch of the diocese of Constantinople, great, then I can walk sideways in Constantinople in the future?" Soma, who had been in Constantinople for so long, finally met Father Anadolius who had returned from Jerusalem today, and she muttered with joy.

Father Anatorius was Soma's godfather, Soma often studied with Anatorius during his studies at the monastery, and the two talked almost nothing, and the relationship was better than that of his own father and daughter, and Anatorius also loved Soma very much.

Anatorius was also glad to see Soma, but he was often troubled by her mischievousness, and after hearing what Soma said, he said nervously: "Oh, my dear goddaughter of Soma, you must not hold back your godfather! Look at the godfather's beard is all white, and he can't stand the toss you have done before! Come, let the godfather see, my dear Soma has grown up and is more beautiful and charming than ever! ”

Soma showed a rare look of shame, but soon lost this expression, and changed the subject: "Godfather." Don't make fun of me, by the way, do you know about the 'Eight Hundred Slaughter'? ”

"Of course. I don't think there are many people in the entire empire who don't know about the 'Eight Hundred Slaughter' now, right? What are you doing for this? Anatorius wondered.

Soma smiled mysteriously: "Because I know him, and I've been with him for more than half a month!" ”

"Oh, really?" When Anatorius heard this, he was greatly interested, and hurriedly pulled Soma to sit down, poured two more glasses of wine, put one in front of Soma, and said, "Tell the godfather about this man, what kind of person is he?" ”

Anadorius was too curious about Qin Dong. Four years earlier, he had been elevated to the position of Patriarch of the Diocese of Constantinople, the Patriarch of a parish and recognized as the nominal highest clergy of the Orthodox Church. He is the spiritual leader and main spokesman of the Orthodox Church. But there is no authority over the other patriarchs or the other 14 autonomous churches.

The position of Patriarch of Constantinople (or ecumenical Patriarch) during this period was not appointed by the Byzantine Emperor, but was elected by the clergy below, although previous emperors were very supportive of the Patriarch of Constantinople, which led to the increasing position of the Patriarch of Constantinople. It was not until the Council of Kalcedon in 451 AD that the Patriarchate of Constantinople (including Asia Minor and Thrace) was formally established. It also established Constantinople's position in the local church after Rome.

But in the Middle Ages, the patriarchs of Constantinople were completely subject to the emperors of the Byzantine Empire, which ultimately rendered their position insignificant. Successive emperors often interfered in the affairs of the Church, and they could effectively depose the patriarch at will. Many emperors even appointed eunuchs to the position of patriarch. In contrast, the Holy See became a powerful force independent and independent of secular rulers. After the Russian Orthodox Church became the largest church in the Orthodox world, the most important figure in the Orthodox Church was the Moscow Patriarch.

Anatorius is a clergyman, and of course he knows the difference between gods and humans, and a normal person can kill eight hundred people in an hour. Did it hurt more than 500 people? This was absolutely impossible, so he was sure that Qin Dong must not be a normal person. Is there really a God in this world? This question is probably only known to God, out of a person like Qin Dong, he thinks that he should study Qin Dong well, and after Soma said that he knew Qin Dong, his mind became active.

Soma then used her clever speech to tell what happened to her and Qin Dong during this time, and said it in a thrilling and exciting way. The tide rose and aroused great interest in Anatorius.

After Soma finished speaking, he said, "Priest, don't you think that a person like Qin Dong is a masterpiece of God? Or is he a man sent by God to the mortal world? Don't you want to talk to him personally? ”

After hearing this, Anatorius's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh, and said in his heart: Yes, no matter whether Qin Dong is a human or a god, I can use this opportunity to publicize it, expand the influence of the sect, and seek more fame for myself.

After thinking of using Qin Dong as his own idea to expand the influence of the sect and add bricks to his throne, Anatorius nodded and said, "Well, Soma, you are right, he must be God's masterpiece, and only God can make a mortal have such great power, I think I should go and meet this person!" ”

"I'll lead you, I know where he's being held!" Soma finally says what she really does.

Anadorius actually knew Soma's intentions for a long time, but he didn't wear it, he followed Soma's words and asked, "You know? Where is he being held? ”

"Southern District Jail!"

Anadolius thought for a moment and said, "I think I should go and meet His Majesty the Emperor!" Soma, you're waiting for me here, the wine in the cupboard, you can drink as much as you want, but I hope you're not drunk when I come back."

Soma was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed: "Of course, I will never get drunk!" ”

……

The Royal Palace, the Great Hall.

The construction of the Royal Palace of Constantinople began in 330 AD and was expanded several times to form a palace complex over a hundred years between the Hippodrome and the Hagia Sophia.

Emperor Marcian was very happy to see Anatorius, and after he was put on the throne of the emperor, the empress Pulkaria and the powerful minister Alpas kept controlling him, and it was Anatorius, the patriarch of Constantinople, who gave him a lot of support, and in the process of gradually gaining power, Anatorius gave him a lot of help.

After the ceremony, Marcian asked kindly, "Father, when did you come back?" ”

Anatorius replied: "Your Majesty, I have just returned, and on the way back I heard from the disciples about something, I heard that an Oriental named Qin Dong killed 800 city guards in Constantinople and wounded more than 500 people, is this true?" ”

"Of course it's true, why did the priest come and ask about it just after he came back?" Marcian wondered.

"Majesty!" Anatorius saluted, and then said: "I think so, although Qin Dong has caused such heavy casualties to my imperial army, but you can't ignore his own combat effectiveness, as far as I know, Qin Dong's father was an Oriental, and later settled here and married a woman named Caroline and gave birth to Qin Dong, so he is a citizen of the empire!" ”

Confused by Anatorius, Marcian asked, "Father, what exactly do you want to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, I want to say that until now, he is still your subject! And he was still arrested because of the person Mueller, who is also the empress's person...... Your Majesty, think about it, if Qin Dong leads an army to conquer other enemy armies as your general, he alone can make the enemy fearful, and the enemy loses the courage to fight as long as he sees him, what place in this world can you not conquer? ”

Marcian now understood that what Anadolius meant was that a killing god like Qin Dong could be recruited, because Qin Dong was still a resident of Constantinople and a subject of the emperor, and the emperor could recruit him, and he was obliged to serve the emperor as a citizen of the empire, and Qin Dong could not be used by the empress because of Muller, and Qin Dong could only choose to be loyal to the emperor if he wanted to live, Marcian nodded and said: "The priest is reasonable, why don't you go and contact him first?" Try his idea? ”

Anadolius bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty has a life, Anadolius is happy to serve!" ”

The two glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time, Anatorius originally came to see Qin Dong, but he didn't say it himself, of course the emperor also saw it, and he said it for him, and he was happy to fulfill him. (To be continued......)
