087. Xiliang enters the imperial capital and begs for thieves on the eighteenth road
In the third month of Norway, little Arie was injured all over his body.
The injuries on the body can be good, but the psychological injuries are difficult to heal in this life.
On this day, before dawn, his eyelids moved a few times, and then he got up.
The body has already responded, and when the time comes, you have to get up, clean the animal shed, and when it is later, you have to go to fetch water and mow the grass.
I can't rest until the sun goes down.
Slaves in Norway were treated far more harshly than slaves elsewhere.
He got up early in the morning and worked for four hours in a row before he could change into a bowl of black porridge.
Human life is not worth much in the eyes of the Vikings, anyway, as long as they go south to rob once, there are many slaves, especially such weak children, who may die at any time.
As noon passed, little Ali was fetching water when he suddenly saw his little daughter walking over, followed by another boy slave.
The boy had just arrived, and because he was dressed magnificently and identified as the son of a nobleman, he was treated as a slave but was given preferential treatment, because in this way he could claim more money when he was redeemed.
The boy came from the Dutch region and was the successor of a knight.
The Netherlands were separated from the Kingdom of Denmark and spoke the language.
Danish Viking is ninety-and-a-half similar to Norwegian Viking, so boys can communicate without any problems.
Xiao Ali glanced at the two of them, and silently carried water back and forth.
Originally, the girl and the boy walked and walked, occasionally talking, and they were all right.
But because the boy didn't bully and didn't know how terrible the Vikings were, he suddenly asked, "Nosha, I'll test you a riddle, what is the last thing a person does before he dies?"
The girl liked to guess riddles, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Help." ”
"Haha, you're so stupid, no, naturally swallow your last breath."
The boy was very proud, but when he heard this, Nosha said disdainfully, "Really? Okay, you come with me. ”
Nossa took the boy to the well where little Ali was drawing water.
At this time, Xiao Ali was ready to drag his tired body and continue to come back to carry water, just in time to face this scene.
Nossa then fingered, "Hey, what's in there?"
"Water."
Then the little girl smiled.
"Nosa, you're smiling so beautifully."
syllable
The girl pushes the little boy down hard!
The boy lost his center of gravity and immediately fell.
Fortunately, the well was not deep, and the Vikings around saw it, and immediately rushed over to pull the little boy up, this water is to be drunk, naturally it cannot be polluted.
When the boy was pulled up, he was in shock.
But Nosha said, "You just fell and almost died, you shouted to save me, not to swallow your last breath, you lost, you are not qualified to be my friend, from now on, you are also a dog, before your father redeems you, you will give me the same to sleep in the stable." ”
Nossa snorted and left.
She is not afraid of heaven and earth, because she has a father, and even the king of Norway is her uncle.
In Norway, she is a princess.
She was so brutal at such a young age that many Viking adults were afraid to provoke her.
Little Arri witnessed all this, and her disgust with Nosa grew stronger day by day.
And Jersey, a Dutch boy who was just as scared, trembled all over his body when he got up.
That night, he was thrown into the stables and chained.
"Dogs."
In the evening, Noza, led by the servants, took the pony from the stable, and played with it.
She also scolded Charlemagne and Jersey before leaving.
The cold, dark environment, and the bugs the size of his thumb, made Jersey nervous.
He cried and cried, but Charlemagne did not persuade him, because soon someone would come and teach him how to be a dog.
Half an hour later, Jersey was beaten by a slave who was more than a year old, and his mouth was swollen and he couldn't speak.
The next day, Jersey had a high fever.
But Nossa had no idea of healing, and she said to the servant who returned, "If you die, you will exchange the corpse for money." ”
The world in which a person lives affects his or her whole life.
The Viking region is barren, and there is a lot of land that grows sand no matter what you plant, you can only grow sand.
Snatching, violence, persecution.
These past events are regarded as the great feats of the ancestors and are passed down from generation to generation.
There are some terrible totems, such as Thor's hammer, Odin's spear, this kind of holy totem.
It is even necessary to kill many people in order to get permission to tattoo on the body.
What Nosha saw was that after the elders took back the slaves, they tortured them at will.
The good-looking slave girls impregnated them.
The sturdy male slaves let them die of fatigue.
This is the Viking tradition.
Eight more days passed, and there was still no news of my father.
At this time, Jersey knew that he could only rely on himself, and his father would not necessarily come to redeem him.
The father had six children.
And the Vikings often like to ask for huge ransoms, some nobles will refuse bitterly, and even do not want to make a deal, anyway, the nobles are in the territory, want to find a woman to have a child, is it not easy?
This is the cruel idea of other religious and cultural aristocrats around the Viking world in order to deal with the cruel Vikings.
Half a month after Jersey was thrown into the stable, he recovered and began to learn from Charlemagne.
Charlemagne pretended to be dumb, while Jersey loved to talk.
After knowing that Charlemagne was mute and also a slave.
He relieved himself and spoke to Charlemagne.
After all, Jersey is still a child, and his psychological quality is far less strong than Charlemagne's, and he often cries during meals.
"My father's name is Ta Dao, and he is a very good Dutch knight, and he has participated in the top tournament in the south.
Do you know, the south is so prosperous, there are more horses than people on the streets, and there are big boats in the south, and when you ride them, they are not at all short and cold like dragon boats, and they are the best areas in the world......
Jersey was talking about what his father had told him about the peninsula.
As a former Milan jousting quarter-finalist, Tadao often bragged to his children, Jersey still can't remember, and in this difficult environment, he often talks about it intermittently.
Charlemagne didn't care what he said, as long as he was done, he always rested immediately, otherwise this kind of labor would crush his body.
Another half of the month has passed.
Jersey's eyes lost their brilliance, and he knew that his father would not come to redeem him when this life was over.
He began to hate, he hated his father, he hated his mother, he hated the Vikings, and he hated himself.
He began to flatter Noza.
He would even lie on the ground and learn to bark when he was in Nossalai to please his owner.
Noza likes obedient dogs, and always gives him a bite of black bread to eat.
For Charlemagne, Nosa also often beats and scolds.
But Charlemagne was dumb, and there was just enough reason not to scream.
The days in the Viking stable, day by day, deepened his revenge even more.
One hundred and seventeen days after being captured.
Charlemagne noticed that something was wrong with his body.
The reason is in the black porridge, and Jersey is the same, the spirit has become more and more sluggish.
One day, Nossa told them, "I added animal blood and Viking secret medicine to your porridge every day, but I didn't expect both dogs to survive." I'm going to make you berserkers, dogs first, and berserkers second, of course. ”
The Vikings trained berserkers, some from an early age.
Most of those who have been cultivated since childhood are slaves, and most of them will feed this medicine, which will gradually make the person who takes the medicine lose his memory and have confusion in his brain.
They are then taken to the Viking altar, where they are brainwashed day and night, and some of them forget everything in their minds, and eventually become killing machines.
Xiao Ali can't fight back, and he can't scold back.
Jersey slander barks.
As two dogs, Nosa was satisfied.
Since the king of Norway had given his father a larger land near the altar, Nosa told his father to let the dogs go too, and later become a tool of the Vikings.
As soon as the two boys heard about this, they were handcuffed and taken away by a group of Viking men.
After more than 20 days of forcible detention, Charlemagne and a group of children from Jersey were taken to a high mountain in the northern interior of Norway.
There is nothing here except snow and birds.
There are also unidentified wooden statues, stone statues, and shrines.
Being mute, Charlemagne was forced to dictate Viking and memorize all Valhalla myths.
In the mountains, he saw a nine-foot-tall statue of the Viking god Odin.
He saw countless bones in the mountains, and he saw tattooed Viking warriors and priests who drank blood.
Little Ali was forced to drink medicine, listen to the scriptures, and kill wild beasts.
The phrase he heard the most was, "Ragnarok."
There will be a man, wielding the power of fire, who will destroy everything.
This is the divine revelation of the ancient high priest, who is believed to be a hero among the berserkers.
Rannal, the god of thunder, wields a unicorn spear and was once considered a hero of the apocalypse.
But he killed his own people and traveled south to become a noble of light, and his blood was no longer pure, and he had been excluded.
Charlemagne came to the valley and went through all kinds of torture.
This process lasted for half a year.
He was delirious and confused.
Slowly, he began to forget a lot of things, everything about his father in his head, he forgot many, many things.
But there are still some things in mind, and I remember that I want to take revenge.
After that, he had a new name, "Stone".
for he is like a pebble, smelly and hard.
This was given to him by the priest, and little Arri was very resistant to pain.
Occasionally, little Arry could see the girl coming. She's here to be trained by the Shieldmaid.
She is an aristocrat, and she is protected when she goes in and out.
Shield maidens from all over Norway went to the other side of the valley to practice.
Sometimes, these berserkers will be ordered to serve as the sparring partner of the shield girl.
The so-called sparring is that the little shield girls are angry and beaten.
Sometimes the priests gave the little shield girls weapons, and even killed and wounded the sparring partners.
This went on for a long time.
Once, Xiao Ali was slashed in the thigh by a small shield girl, because when he was making a move, he instinctively ran away from the attack, causing the shield girl to knock the weapon out of her hand.
So, the little shield girl took advantage of Xiao Ali's turn and cut his leg with a sword.
Fortunately, it scratched some skin, not arteries, otherwise Little Ali would never have woken up.
The days in the valley were far more cruel than being a dog in a stable, but because he could learn martial arts, Xiao Ali persevered.
The Vikings' heavy sword onslaught, resistance training, plus enough food.
Little Arri's muscles are strengthening all over his body.
During this time, his willpower became stronger, and he also remembered some things about his father again.
But he didn't remember his father's face and name yet.
But revenge has been imprinted in the blood and bones.
The Vikings also had their own intelligence network, and it was the Vikings who supported each other.
In the valley, Arri the Younger heard a lot of information for the priests.
"The Black Prince defeated Ronais, and the Queen was killed, but the Queen was left with a premature baby, which was used by Ronay to call for rebellion."
"The Franks killed more than 300 Danish Viking pirates in the Normandy region, used the pirates' heads as wine glasses, returned them to the Vikings, and announced that if they dared to invade again, the French army would send troops north, and this year's Danish Vikings would usher in a cold winter."
"The righteous king of Poland in the south, rule the whole territory, destroy the Kingdom of Bohemia, and reward twenty-four nobles in one go."
"The Rus' supported a young sheep herder named Ivan, and they found revelation in the boy, and they also found a golden sheep in the flock!"
"When the Byzantine Emperor died, the Ouchi servant Misulu re-embraced the new emperor and recruited the Balkan princes into the castle to resist the eastern military princes.
Among them, the army led by the dragon knight Vlad and the Balkan Rose was called the Western Liang Army.
Xiliang is because the Balkans were once war-torn and desolate, and the nobles of Junbao laughingly called it a barren and desolate place.
It is a regional derogatory term.
Similar to the barbarian name given to the Vikings.
The Xiliang army got the eunuch's internal response, and quickly advanced into Junbao, annexed Junbao's troops, and controlled the power.
Vlad became one of the five regents (all five kings) and Rose doubled as the guardian of the Balkans.
The Imperial Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre and the Patriarch launched an order to fight against thieves, and a total of more than a dozen military marquis responded.
Most of them are lords of the East, and their territory is located east of many checkpoints in Junbao. Hence the name Kwantung Army.
"The Ottomans defeated the Abbasids."
"Rannal, the Viking god of thunder in Bavaria, defeats the army from Swabia."
"The yellow-haired king of Swabia is seriously ill, and his grandson Kai is about to ascend the throne."
"A new kingdom has emerged on the Italian peninsula, and there is a kingdom called Italy, and the rulers are the Chaman family."
This information is actually not comprehensive, and the lords of the peninsula have more information.
This information was collected by Vikings who went south from all over the country, grabbing and collecting.
It doesn't necessarily happen at the same time, and some of it even happened last year.
But at each Viking convention, they shared with each other and eventually brought the news to the valley.
Hearing the Italian peninsula, little Arri's head moved.
But then he didn't think of anything, and when he heard Charman's name again, he didn't react much.
Most of the new information had already been known to the priests through other channels.
There was only information about Italy, and the priests did not know.
However, the priest of this place did not care, he paid more attention to the major affairs of Byzantium.
For the Vikings, Byzantium was Rome.
After all, nothing is trivial in Rome.
......
Brush!
If I can cut Bran, let me break this stone.
This scene woke Edwin again, and in the morning, he got up to practice his sword.
If the situation is turbulent today, he wants to rush for time.
But as soon as he woke up, Helen beside him immediately opened his eyes and held him down.
"Sleep again."
"No, I want to practice swords, and I have to inspect the nobles later, now the empire is in chaos, the eunuchs are in chaos, I need to concentrate on government affairs."
"What are you anxious about? That neighbor of yours, sooner or later, will be cleaned up, he is really crazy, and he is recognized as killing the priest!"
Bran eventually turned against Fernando and secretly killed the Visionary Priest.
But not once was it all annihilated.
After the news was gone, the clergy of the Order in Venice joined forces with the disgruntled nobles and launched a rebellion to rob the Franks when the Grand Duke went to the Alps to inspect the mountain people.
After the Priesthood entered Mount Piri, they cooperated with the local mountain people who believed in the Illusion Troupe to seal the mountain road.
But the other lords of the valley were afraid of getting into trouble, so they surrounded them with their backhands and informed the south.
Bran was furious, and said to his lords in the north,
"It took God seven days to create the world, to save people, I will give you six days, within six days, if you don't find your grandfather, you will end up at your own convenience."
Six days!
The tidal army stormed Mount Piri at the entrance, and finally the priests, who could not stand the pressure, let the Grand Duke go, and begged for his life.
It was supposed to end there, but a few fanatical priests held out to the end at the entrance to Mount Piri.
and set fire to the mountains, and they will all perish.
A large number of innocent mountain people and ordinary clergymen were accidentally killed in this incident, and the number reached as many as 1,000.
Afterwards, the only remaining phantom priest fled from the exit snow mountain area and went to another place, bitterly denouncing Bran's crimes, saying that he was the reincarnation of the demon king.
Burn Piri Mountain, the sixth day demon king.
These ten words became the fatal reason for the opponents to launch the siege network.
Even the Kingdom of Quds refused to cooperate with Bran and sent a bishopric.
Some lords, who had been neutral and wait-and-see, also stopped sending people to Rome and asked him to hand over the three artifacts.
In this regard, Bran chose to be just to the end.
In the middle of Rome and the city of Klin, near the lake, another city was built, and it was named Azuchi City, which means to stabilize the land.
......
"His grandfather was held narrowly by the clergy, and I can understand that if you or the bear are caught and your life is at risk, I will still do so."
"Really? Then do it again. ”
Helen overwhelmed her husband and demanded it three more times.
She's a witch, and she's the woman Edwin can't live without.
After three times, Edwin's iron body was also a little irresistible.
Leaving the bed, Edwin practiced his sword, ate, and had meetings.
In the afternoon, he was doing business with the ministers, how to face the next changes.
The military advisor Shu Duode said, "The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, divided for a long time, Rome inherited the Greek monarchy, and then divided into two, Xiluo has long been gone, only I violet is still there, more than 20 lines of the purple emperor, tonight I watch the stars, there is only one sentence." ”
"Da Zi is finished!"
It's over!
Since the military advisor said so, Edwin continued, "Then let's join the Kwantung Army?"
"We belong to Shehir, and since the sword of Orthodoxy is in his hands, he will spread the word that Shehir will be the lord of the more than ten army marquis of the thieves, and use him to fight against the Balkans.
If he is afraid and hands over the sword of Orthodoxy, then his prestige and dominance will be greatly reduced, if he is not afraid, he will inevitably be pushed to power and become the leader of the alliance, but Xie Xier is a straw bag, in this way, the right to command more than ten military marquis, as the first military minister, His Royal Highness, can naturally be taken. ”
So, the wind spread.
Originally, the Western Liang Army wanted to stabilize Xie Xier, but the Western Liang Army was an alliance of five kings and had five army leaders.
Some of the military leaders thought that Shehir was going to rebel and forced Rose to send a warning letter.
The letter backfired, and Shehir finally agreed to lead his troops north to help Sheji.
He had the sword of Orthodoxy and was supposed to be the leader of the alliance.
But he is afraid that if he fails, he will become the target of public criticism?
So he gave the position of the leader of the alliance to the peninsula of Asia Minor in the east, one is also of purple blood, can be called his cousin's military marquis, and he is the deputy leader of the alliance.
This is pie in the sky, and the military marquis of the East, Gatir, immediately agreed, waving the big flag.
The Kwantung Army expanded even more.
The sword of Orthodoxy is like the emperor's jade seal, Gatil. Komnenos wanted to use it to command the crowd.
But Shehir did not give.
Gatil was well aware of the prestige of Edvenna, the little giant of the East China Sea, and wanted to recruit him, but Shehir thought that he could reduce the power of the people of Mikawa, so he agreed.
But the giant is also a purple royal family, a spiritual symbol.
As the princes of the Purple Chamber, it seems inappropriate to agree that the people of Mikawa have such a title.
So Gatil gave another title.
In the East, the tiger is the one who can defeat the lion.
At this time, the people of Mikawa occupied the far river again.
As a result, Gatil called Edwin the "Jiangdong Tiger".
The other princes, after several battles and saw the power of the Mikawa people, thought that he was the god of war.
Calling him "Little Overlord", this nickname is the prestige that Alexios the Great of the Purple Chamber once obtained.
Xiliang entered the imperial capital and begged for the thief eighteen roads.
Among them, there was a merchant who sold straw sandals, with two ears hanging down his shoulders, his hands over his knees, his eyes could take care of his ears, his face was like a crown of jade, and his body was like grease.
He scattered all his wealth, found two brothers, and dragged a group of homeless people on the road.
Along the way he claimed to be the great-grandson of Justinian after Constantine......
Anyway, it is the ancestral dignitary, after the big man who once had purple blood flowing.
Calculate the family chart, he can still make up for it, and let today's young Purple Emperor call him uncle.
His name is Liupei. Komnenos.
Liu Pei wanted to be the Purple Emperor when he was a child, because he often dreamed that he was riding in the Purple Emperor's car.
A few years ago, because of the invasion of the Ottomans and Timur.
Asia Minor was full of smoke.
Liupei joined the army at that time, and relied on the money he made to join the army, and finally got a small fortune and became a straw shoe merchant.
However, "it is not my desire to get rich, but I want to wear a purple robe."
Three years and three years, he waited from the age of twenty-two to the age of twenty-eight, and finally waited for this opportunity.
The crowd is competing for deer, and the world is in chaos.
Liupei's two brothers are both of Oriental steppe ancestry and have amazing force.
Liupei has been in the market for six years, and he has discovered one thing.
A person must have a selling point and a personality. That's what makes people impressed.
He has nothing, even this bloodline, and he is only ridiculed for the majority, thinking that he is high.
So, in the end, he was constantly fighting in Asia Minor, and chose an alternative "benevolence and righteousness" as a selling point.
He wants to achieve the word benevolence and righteousness to the extreme, and use the signboard of benevolence and righteousness to start.
The empire is in turmoil, there are wars everywhere, and bandits are everywhere.
Liupei quickly gathered a small force and marched all the way to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.
On the way, his third brother, a handsome fierce man who could write elegant Latin characters in one hand, asked.
"Big brother, I heard that the Xiliang Army is all one to ten, and the dragon knight Vlad led by one has a title."
"I know, Vlad among men, what's so terrible, I don't think he's as good as you, and not as good as that Edwina.
I have inquired clearly, the Kwantung Army will be stationed outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and we will go to vote for the White Horse Army God, one of the princes...... In front of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, the world will know the skills of our three brothers.
By the way, let me tell you, nobility is the most important reputation, and I have made up a good story. ”
"What's the story?" The second-in-line, a red-faced man asked.
"I made up a story that we met in Taoyuan, fought for several days, were inseparable, and finally became brothers...... I have thought about your origins, second brother, you are a knight from the east, and your territory is close to the Ottomans, because your hometown fell, and after killing many Ottoman thieves, you fell to me.
Third brother, you are proficient in music and literature, so you can say that your ancestor was once a certain patriarch in the east of the empire......"
Liupei has Lingyunzhi in his heart and marches towards the Tiger Prison.
Along the way, he muttered a few words......
The Purple Emperor raised his sword into the castle,
The scorching red sun rises to the heavens,
Constantine became the ruler,
Justinian Heaven,
Alas, the emperor was treacherous,
The purple veins fell to the west and mourned,
The eunuchs have no intention of causing turmoil,
The Xiliang thieves are based in the temple.
......
Tiger Prison Pass!
I'm here to stay!
Edwin swallowed the river in a fit of anger, and the little overlord of Jiangdong led an army of 10,000 sailors, with the twelve heroes of the river, and went upstream.
The Western Liang Army Rose controls the empire, using Vlad as a sword.
Gatir became the leader of the Kwantung Army.
In this battle, almost all the people who had a little fame in the empire came out.
This year, according to the Byzantine Roman calendar, was the fifteenth Purple Emperor - Alexios the Great,
The recompilation of the 189th year of the Orthodox calendar.
".189 years".
In the history of Byzantium, the most splendid and magnificent people's hearts, the Purple Chamber of the Three Kingdoms, finally came to welcome.
