Hearing this, Wright was a little confused, he first asked for warmth, cared about the recovery of His Excellency the head of the camp, and then leaned over and asked in a low voice, "But Her Royal Highness the Princess's edict is only to ask ten people in the Guardian Brigade, without asking too much, and if you add more people, does this mean tampering with Your Highness without permission?" ”

And Melo, who was still hanging from his arms, took Wright with his other hand, and said very kindly, "Don't be stupid, battalion officer, now everyone knows that because of the matter of the new brigade, Gawain and Her Royal Highness the Princess in Purple have a little unpleasant quarrel - yes, yes, they are married, and they will soon get back together sweetly, just like my wife in Italy, with whom I often quarrel in letters!" But we still love each other. Therefore, as His Excellency Gawain's subordinates, we must not further widen the gap between the two brigades. ”

"Do you mean that if the soldiers of the new brigade are only selected to serve as escorts this time, then the Red Hand Brigade will be dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness the princess and General Stratigues?" After all, Wright is extremely intelligent and understands interpersonal relationships, and instantly understands what the other party is referring to.

With a "teachable" expression, Melo nodded, "Remember, to learn to be flexible, one brigade soldier can stand outside the porch while another brigade soldier stands in front of the hall door, isn't that okay?" ”

Wright's strength is precisely that he is "too good at being flexible", and Weisat. Merlot was also of Greek origin, and had long been tempered like a human spirit, and there was no barrier to communication between the two - only the upright and simple Dorus stood at the door, and saw that Wright had drawn fifteen soldiers from other camps and handed them all to him, "Double security is better, because there are still some leftovers from the previous Dalian army in the mosque, locked in the cabinet in the alcove." ”

And so subsequently. Dorus led two teams of twenty-five soldiers to the mosque on Ju Ri Day, and when the formalities were completed, the sun had sunk over there, and the hexagonal stone pagoda was gilded with a solemn and charming layer of gold.

Ten elite soldiers from the Guardian Brigade, armed with torches. Standing in front of the entrance and window of the temple, Dorus led fifteen soldiers of the Red Hand Brigade into the hospital hall formed by a colonnade, and in front of the entrance to Anna's room, several female physicians held curtains and stayed behind the columns.

At this time, Anna was holding her cheeks and playing with Goethehild with the fifteen-flag inside. Agnes stood aside, Anna's luck in rolling the dice today was very good, she had won several games in a row, and the corners of her mouth showed a happy look, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the first Dugelius of the Guardian Brigade and the flag officer Dolus. Lord Lambert, you have arrived with your guard. ”

"Ah, that's good. Dear Goethehilde. Don't be surprised, after all, the whole neighborhood is still at war. Even if it's a woman's dinner, you have to do a good job of security, right? "Anna twisted the chess piece, so high-sounding.

Goethehild smiled and said he deserved it.

"It is rumored that Dorus has come in to meet me, and that Grana Ai and the female physicians will continue to stay at the door and wait until the female archon arrives."

"It turned out that the female doctors were holding curtains. Is it for this - first to make a gesture of invitation, and then, when the leader of the heresy comes, to put up a curtain of isolation and take the opportunity to search the other party's body? If that Kabeamia can't hold her breath, there are only three ways. One was to flee on horseback, which was in Anna's arms; The second is to carry a weapon for self-defense, in case it is found, it also gives Anna the truth; The third is that the female consul came to the meeting calmly, even if she could see Anna safely, but she would have to go through the shame of being searched, and in the future momentum, she would undoubtedly be suppressed by Anna - sure enough, people said that the men and women from the Komnenos family were very treacherous, and Anna had completely inherited her father's talents. Goethehild held the chess pieces, stared at the chessboard, and looked at the petite and silent princess in purple opposite, "Oh no, now is not the time to sigh, I have to see the opportunity to act and mediate." ”

Then, the curtain was lifted, and Dorus stepped in with four soldiers, curtsimming respectfully to the princess and lady.

"Good work, Dorus. Lambert, you will continue to be the fastest promoted general in the future. Tonight's security work will also bother you. Anna admonished, and then she yawned disapphantly, "The time is almost up, why hasn't Kabeamia arrived yet?" Then she kept knocking the dice on the board.

After saying that, there was no sound in the whole hall, except for the sound of the tapping, again and again, with a terrible and terrifying feeling, and Goethehild was a little restless—Agnes turned to Dorus with a slightly dissatisfied tone, and said, "You take your soldiers and go to the pagan school over there. ”

Before he could finish speaking, before Dorus could reply, a soldier in a cloak and a helmet next to him suddenly bowed down and let out a woman's cry.

Frightened, Anna immediately stood up from the chessboard, the chess pieces crackled and all fell to the ground, after all, she was a young girl, and Agnes was also in vain, she was also frightened and stood motionless, but Goethehild was braver, very decisive in front of the princess, and immediately asked, "What is your identity?" ”

With these words, Dorus and the other three soldiers were also shocked and grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Kabeamia, it's you!" Only then did Anna see the face of the woman who was lying down, how she had infiltrated the ranks of the Red Hand Brigade, and there was definitely someone inside who was helping to help.

"Please preside over justice for me, as a woman in troubled times, you can't control your fate no matter what." Kabeamia took off her cloak, revealing her beautiful black hair, tears rippling in her eyes, "It was not my intention to serve Gawain, but I was coerced by him, but I really didn't have the courage to say it before"

"Huh!?" The women present, even Anna herself, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as Cabeamia said this.

At the same dusk, eight or nine hundred cavalrymen, under the command of Gawain and Baldwin, came to the so-called "Cilician Gate", although the name is "The Gate", but it is actually a pass in the middle of the long and straight Taurus Mountains, and as long as you pass through this "Gate", you can drive long to the Cilician Plain, which is crisscrossed by rivers.

To Gawain's surprise, Baldwin, beside him, looked at the towering cliffs on both sides of the narrow path of the Cilician Gate, the dark gray rocks, and the blood-stained sunset, and involuntarily said, "The Gate of Judah has arrived." ”

Hearing this name, Gawain's brows tightened, "The Gate of Judah? ”

Baldwin replied in the affirmative, "In the mouth of the Franks, this is the name." ”

"What is the reason?"

"God knows." Baldwin shrugged.

So Gawain didn't want to ask more, so he waved his hand at the team behind, "Camp here tonight, pass through the pass tomorrow, go straight down the Sidenus River and the mountain pass, and aim at Tarsus." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain on horseback let out another huge sneeze.

At this time, in the room in the mosque of Juji, Anna's face was embarrassed, Goethechild's eyes were nervous, Agnes was at a loss, and Kabeamia, who was kneeling on the floor, was sobbing pitifully, and just about to say something, she was stopped by Anna's drink, "Stop, now is not the occasion to say this, Dorus, you quit!" Anna was annoyed.

It was only after Dorus and the other three soldiers had fled that Cabeamia continued in a low and mournful voice, "Wise and loving princess, according to the teachings of the Paulicians, as a consul of the Holy Descendants and leader of the good of the faithful, I am not allowed to have marriage, let alone physical relations and procreation—this is why in Asia Minor there have been many noble ladies who have supported our teachings, and women often have difficulty in enduring both kinds of suffering, as you know. But at the mouth of the Harris River, my twenty years of chastity for the Lord were destroyed by Gawain, who, on the grounds of negotiation with the Paulicians, offered to give me a fort and a field in the future."

"It's so pathetic." Goethehild also took the opportunity to sigh.

"Aren't these things promised to you by me and Gawain in advance, is that why you seduce Gawain?" Anna was still angry.

As a result, Cabeamia wept even more sadly, "You are at all at a loss, wise and loving princess, when Gawain tempted me so much, I did reply to her in the princess's present words, and I said that the peace talks sent by the Paulines were concluded with you, and not with Gawain—but, then, he forcibly took my hand and pressed me against the secluded grass of the mountains. ”

"That's enough, don't go on." Anna held her forehead, the chess pieces in her hand almost crushed, "Won't you resist?" ”

"You don't know how strong he is," said Kabeamia, crying.

"Won't you shout?"

"Yamafu is surrounded by his guard samurai, how can I ask for help?"

"Won't you use your status as a heretic to convince Gawain to dispel this idea?" Anna suddenly remembered.

And the eyes of the golden hand archon also rolled flexibly, and now he couldn't tell Gawain that he had secretly converted to Paul, so he immediately cried even more poignantly, "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't you know that when Gawain stabbed me in my body, he also claimed that he was punishing me on behalf of the Catholic and Orthodox churches, and wanted to leave me the mark of being conquered, woo woo-"

"With all due respect, when this kind of thing is encountered, it is difficult for us women to resist because of weakness. Just like that night, Gawain also forcibly took Your Royal Highness the Princess" Goethechild interrupted Anna's endless questioning in time.

"Okay, Gothhild, my sister, please don't go on, I see." Anna's face turned red and white, waving her hands and trembling teeth, begging the other party not to continue. (To be continued.) )
