"It seems that this Andrew is indeed very stubborn, and he still intends to be a poor sour dog, shaking his head and tail to show favor to his former master." Sitting in his room, Cicedes unbridled and sarcastically mocked Andrew, revealing his true attitude towards Andrew.

Soon it was time for the meal, as an upper-class person, the Cicedes family was not only pursuing delicious food, but also safety, and being able to live for lunch or dinner in the morning, in other words, narcissistic words: It is a pity that such a good guy died in vain.

I saw the taster standing tremblingly in front of the food, this is a woman, with the blood of the eastern peoples, black hair, black eyes, I don't know if it is because the taster has eaten a lot of delicious things, which makes her look a little round, just in line with the aesthetics of the Greeks.

She was nervous, she was a newcomer, but it was the nervousness alone that caught Cicedes' attention.

Looking at this stunner from the Eastern Desert, Cicedes couldn't help the heat in his heart, and only saw a trace of strong desire flash in his expression, but it was like a meteor flashing by.

I saw him stand up and swagger to the side of this taster, of course, he was a nobleman, and in this little world of his own, everything around him, whether it was a guard or a waiter, was his slave.

"What a pity it would be for such a beautiful thing to accidentally disappear!" Standing in front of the food, the taster could see how frightened she was at this time.

Cicedes looked at the woman as if admiring a budding flower, and his expression was full of greed.

I saw him smiling lewdly, reaching out and picking up the fork with only two prongs, inserting a piece of meat, handing it to the taster's mouth, and sneering: "Often, only the nobles"

"Eat, this is a delicacy that only nobles can afford, and poor untouchables have never seen a delicacy!" Cicedes' smile became more and more hideous, as if torturing the innocent beauty in front of him had become his pleasure, and it was time to take a good breath of the evil anger of being "wronged" by Andrew.

Even this delicacy did not make the woman show any greedy look, on the contrary, she showed fear.

It's a delicacy, but if you whisper it in your ear, "If you eat it, you'll die." "Then these things are no longer tempting delicacies, but poisons with a sweet taste.

The poor woman trembled with fear, her eyes widened as she looked at the food that was placed in her mouth, and her breathing became rapid.

Seeing her frightened appearance, Cicedes couldn't help laughing, "Hurry up, eat it, I'm already hungry!" ”

Cicedes urged, and shoved the poor woman's mouth with a fork in his hand.

The woman also struggled a few times, and finally couldn't resist Cicedes' roughness, opened her mouth, and asked Cicedes to stuff the food into her mouth.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Cicedes grinned with his teeth, as if it had become his pleasure to torture the defenseless woman.

"My lord! My lord! ”

At this time, only a guard was heard running in from outside, and he was in such a hurry that he rushed in and rudely interrupted Cicedes' torment.

"Oh, damn it, what's the matter!"

This frightened Sicedes trembled violently, and only then the scream of the taster was heard, and the sharp fork pierced her lip.

Cicedes was angry, he turned his head and glared at the soldier who was now in front of him, but he was at a loss, and threatened: "You'd better bring me good enough news, or I'll make you worse than dead!" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord!" The soldier said tremblingly, and then carefully handed over the parchment letter in his hand, and continued: "This is a letter from the province, an emergency. ”

"Alright! All right! Cicedes said impatiently, put down his fork, and came over and snatched the parchment letter from the soldier's hand, opened it roughly, and read it carefully.

"This, this!"

Looking at the contents of the letter, Cicedes' hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Robbers, bandits!" Cicedes' breathing became more and more rapid, and he slammed the parchment in his hand to the ground, and then felt that he was still angry, so he jumped up and stomped on it hard.

"Damn it, damn it, these damn bandits!"

At this time, Cicedes turned to look at the soldier delivering the letter beside him, "You are from Ankara, you should know the situation at that time." ”

"Yes, yes, sir!" The soldier hesitated for a moment, then said, "The bandits of Isuriya have gathered at the border of the province for some unknown reason, and they are numbering in the thousands, and I don't know exactly what they are for, but it is clear that they are coming for us. ”

"Hordes of robbers, and convoys passing through my territory......" Cicedes quickly came to his senses in his rage, and he seemed to find a corresponding connection in them.

"It has to be like this, it has to be like this!" It dawned on Cicedes that he slammed the table, which made it difficult to hide his excitement.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Cicedes was no longer in the mood to eat, he waved his hand and shouted to the waiter beside him: "What are you still doing in a daze, now, go clean up!" ”

"My lord, where are we going?"

"This is not the place we can stay anymore!" Cicedes said coldly: "Flavis. Luga, a lowly slave, must have colluded with the Isurian bandits, and they are now going to put pressure on both sides. When Luga returns to Constantinople, he will surely arrest me secretly. ”

The guards hurriedly began to prepare, and at this time, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he grabbed the soldier who delivered the letter and said: "Now, I want you to go back immediately, tell the garrison dukes of my various cities, don't care about anything, as long as you see the chariot escorted by heavy troops, immediately send troops to surround and kill them!" ”

However, by the time Sicedes gave this order, Luga's chariot had already marched along the northern part of Cappadocia towards Constantinople, so if the dukes of the garrisons of Cappadocia had received this order, Luga would have entered the Golden Horn and returned to Constantinople.

On the rocking carriage, Lickinia took advantage of the boring time, so she asked Luga: "What are you going to do with Cicedes?" ”

"He shouldn't exist anymore." Luga said very decisively, "At least in the subsequent deployment period, this uncertainty must be eliminated first, and at least Cappadocia should not become a big problem in Asia Minor." ”

In Andrew's villa, Andrew no longer knows what to do, and while he is struggling between loyalty and betrayal, he only hears a knock at the door.

The maid ran to open the door, but was violently pushed open just as the door was opened a gap.

The maid screamed and fell to the ground, and when she looked up, she saw a large number of soldiers rushing in, and they didn't care about the maid, but bypassed them and rushed inside.
