This little girl is obviously going to move the wedding ceremony that was originally planned to be completed in the city of Nicaea to Sinop Castle.

Gawain folded the paper, then turned around and coughed lightly, "Anna, look at me, look at the cloak and robe that covers my body, the cloak was given by your father, but the robe is still your gift, as well as armor and helmet, and feather ornaments, you are my patron, my first mistress now." I have sworn allegiance to you in the holy palace—and now you look into my eyes, and there will be no hesitation, just as I did when I saw the ciphertext you sent from the Brachna Palace. So, what you say you should do in Sinop, then do it. ”

scared to death, anyway, Gawain urgently adopted the strategy of "advancing and retreating", it depends on how Anna reacts, and then makes a decision. So Gawain added later, "But, Anna, are you ready to ride a spear?" ”

"Oh, you already have wrinkles when you look up." Anna didn't answer directly, put on a surprised expression, and pointed her hand at Gawain's forehead, "But the look of the eyes is still very charming, like the tide of the Helis Strait, no wonder many girls and women can't hold back their love." Then the soft little mouth took it and kissed it with Gawain, this kind of girl's kiss in the flower season, constantly exuding a lilac-like fragrance, which will not make people feel tired, but it will also give rise to greater greed, it is simply magnetic, even Gawain can't help but indulge in it, and slowly closed his eyes, but Anna's fingers are still gently scratching his eyelids and eyelids. After a long time, Gawain felt that something was wrong, so he opened his eyes, but saw that at a very close distance, Anna's deer-like eyes were always open, looking at him mischievously and defiantly. With a crescent-like smile.

"Don't use any spear to pierce the walls to intimidate me, besides, I just wanted to say what to do with the city and the Paulineans after the surrender of Sinop soon?" Anna then sat coquettishly in Gawain's arms, deliberately making Wen Mu everywhere again.

"You can't stay long. For Kabeamia, it is mainly coercion and deception, so that she will open the way for us to escape. Now that your father's army is still concentrated in the area of Dollilahim, and can guess the next route of your father's endeavor - he is most interested in the rich plains of Bithynia (to the north) and the equally rich plains of Mysia and Lydia (to the south), which are the most dense areas of manpower and taxation, so that the men and officials are not in a hurry to ascend to the barren and dilapidated Anatolian plateau in the center for the time being, and should be content to hold on to the key to the land of Dorilaem. In short, it is to hold the center and open its wings. ”

"Good analysis, big barbarian, so your speed is very fast now, and your father's men may still be gathering in the area of Shkadari."

"So we have to hurry"

The next day, a brand-new tent was erected on the meadow on the banks of the Karasu River, and Kabeamiya brought her confidants, elders, and confidential officials. Sitting in a small boat, I came to the tent. Ask Gawain for a strike and peace talks.

Several Saxon warriors stopped the others at the door, signaling that only the Archon of the Golden Hand could enter.

"Could it be that Gawain is going to play a game of cat and mouse again?" Kabeamia felt that the past was unbearable to look back on, and the future was bleak.

But she could only walk in hard, and the female consul wore a Saracen-style robe, her hair was pulled up, and she looked very capable and alert. She didn't want to give Gawain the impression that she was depressed, so as to give the other party a chance.

When Kabeamia walked in, she looked up and couldn't help but be stunned: in the middle of the entire enclosed tent, there were Byzantine high-legged seats. The chair symbolized the authority of the one sitting on it, but it was not Gawain—the tall, blue-eyed brute stood on the left, but with the sword of phosphorus and fire that terrified her; On the right is a dressed girl who is very energetic, but a lock of forehead has been cut off, Cabeamia subconsciously touched herself, and her cheek hair was also deliberately cut off, in order not to forget the humiliation brought by Gawain.

On both sides of the seat are military servants, generals, confidential officers, etc. holding crosses, flags, and axes, and finally sitting on it is a very quiet girl, with a very elegant and beautiful posture, with a hoop-like crown, obliquely draped in a Roman shawl with diamonds, and her brown eyes are very clear, but her cheeks are obviously blown by the wind, and she looks a little plateau red.

No one spoke, not even the Archon herself stayed for a long time, looking at the petite girl sitting in the high chair, and then at Gawain.

"Gawain, is this your daughter?" After a long time, Kabeamia asked Nahan.

"Presumptuous!" Agnes, who was standing, shouted angrily at the same time as the bartender Staulachos, "This is Your Excellency the princess of the empire, and she is also the guarantor of the entire Dalian team. ”

"What is Her Royal Highness the Princess doing? Also mixed with the barracks. Kabeamiya questioned him bluntly, without any politeness.

"Her Royal Highness has traveled to the castle of Castamonou, the place where the great royal family arose, for she is going to write a great tome about the glory of Komnenos." Gawain replied in place of Anna.

Then Anna coughed lightly, and then pointed at Gawain, who said to the consuless, "In the battle of Amaslah, your army has been defeated again, and there must be no garrison in Sinop City, so in order to avoid needless killing and looting, we have submitted to you a detailed plan for peace under the auspices of the guarantor." Then Anna said in a very quiet tone, "But this heretical leader of the Paulicians, from the mountains of Cappadocia, does he know written Greek?" ”

Immediately, the female consul saw the sight of Gawain bowing down respectfully and talking intimately with the girl in a low voice, and her anger rose, and she stepped forward to fetch the copy that Wright was holding, "The Konama where I was born has a Greek school!" ”

"What, you want me to be a hostage, and take eight hundred believers with you, to be the vanguard of your attack on Trabzon?" After reading the first article, the female consul found it difficult to accept it, and immediately raised a defense, "I think this is too harsh, and now I propose a plan that the true believers hand over the keys to the gates of Sinop, Amesus, and Gangara, but you are not allowed to forcibly occupy or loot the villages and cultivated lands of the believers in the provinces. In addition, believers who wish to leave can leave freely by boat in Sinop. ”

"What you proposed, as the guarantor of the Dalian team and Gao Wen, I can fully promise to protect it, and these terms of kindness are also under the peace plan, so don't excite the female consul." Anna smiled and made a gesture hoping that Kabeamia would calm down.

"I didn't expect you to be a 'Gazi' or 'Atrilas' (the former is Saracen's name for the frontier warriors, the latter is from Eastern Rome), but I didn't expect you to be a guy who bends his knees in front of such a beautiful heretical girl. I misread you Gawain, the ideal country that you are ashamed of in your mouth is led by women, right? Kabeamiya looked at Gawain with her black eyes and sharp eyebrows, and said in Turkic that she knew that Anna would not learn this "vulgar" nomadic language.

"Isn't the Paulianism now also led by women? And there is a shortage of men like me, right, dear holy sister. Gawain also responded with a little flirtation in Turkic language, but the other party's slightly dark cheeks were flushed, so he could only quickly avoid his eyes and stare at what Anna said.

After reading, Cabeamiya closed her eyes, took two deep breaths, and then said to Anna, who was waiting for an answer, "Guides and troops to advance Paphragonia and Trabzon can be provided, and we are willing to surrender to the emperor, resettle and even emigrate, but I am the commander of the entire believers, and I cannot act as a vanguard." ”

"Once the Paulineites surrender at this time, they will disappear immediately, and what is the point of your commander." Anna suddenly stood up and forced her eyes to look at the consul, in a slightly hoarse but sweet voice, in fluent and elegant Greek, "But as long as you can personally lead the believers and make meritorious deeds in the battle on horseback, perhaps my father, who is also the Supreme Emperor of Rome, will have some pity for your evil deeds that have hindered the empire in Durazzo, Nicaea, etc., and then through my intercession with Gawain, you may be able to re-establish a settlement for you and your followers in the border regions of Trabzon or Thrace, and you can still be a veritable consul." , though perhaps only a few thousand, but Julius. Didn't Caesar say that he would rather be first in the wilderness of the countryside than second in the bustling city of Rome? ”

Before Cabeamia could speak, several warriors stretched out their hands to "isolate" her backwards—for Anna was in front of her, pacing, and continuing to say, "If a man wants to succeed and build a temple of honor and power, courage, determination, fortune, and fame are the four indispensable pillars that sustain them all." But this is not your time, the Republic of Tevris is still a few embers that have not yet been formed, your temple has collapsed, and perhaps there is still a pillar of courage, but what can be done except a ruin? So Archon, you have to know the times. There is a famous saying that even the most stupid peace is better than the best war, but I can change it now—Your Excellency, do you want to accept war with the Empire, or with Theodoro. As for Gabrias's war, be sure to make your choice at this moment. ”

"I want to speak directly to His Majesty the Emperor." Kabeamia has not given up her last hope.

"My father is in Nicaea, commanding the great march to Anatolia, Bithynia, and Pamphylia, and has given carte blanche to the advance party Gawain and me, but he has specifically instructed that if he cannot negotiate with the heretics, he will cut off the heads of all the believers and pile them up in front of the restored castle of Castamonu." Anna's tone below was obviously very threatening.

"Holy sister, so I have long advised you to surrender, why flee all the way here to sign the alliance under the city." Over there, Gawain shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, helping in Turkic dialect.

"Shut up, who is your holy sister!" Kabeamia gritted her teeth, but she was helpless, so she could only bow her head and express her acceptance of the conditions of this "imperial princess". (To be continued.) )
