Sending Dr. Zhang away, the old man Huvis asked the servant to squeeze the juice from a few oranges according to Dr. Zhang's instructions, and then prepare the straw. After the servant left the room, the old man sat down on the sofa with an unhappy expression. He didn't like the sour taste of citrus, especially now that his teeth had gone bad.

But the feeling of the body is not bad, although it is only a while after the injection of the drug, the old man can faintly feel a certain change. Just as he was about to close his eyes, the curtain leading to the balcony shook, and a man stepped out from behind. The old man was startled, and then saw that this person was Altai. Leaning back on the sofa easily, the old man asked mockingly, "Did that little girl hire you to kill me?" ”

The questions of the old patron did not stop Altai, he walked to the sofa in front of the largest nobleman in Ankara and sat down, and then said: "She will not do this?" ”

The old man continued to say sarcastically: "The people of Constantinople like to hurt people with hidden arrows, but that little girl is from Constantinople. ”

"I'm just here to tell you not to make a move on Sheila." Altai tells about his purpose.

"Oh? That little girl isn't your client? After speaking, the old man nodded again, "That's right, she's so poor, how can she afford to hire you." Presumably someone richer wants you to protect her. ”

Speaking of his own judgment, the old man remembered how he had hired Altai. At that time, the old man wanted to get rid of a local nobleman, so he openly showed favor to the nobleman and secretly hired Altai to assassinate the nobleman. To this day, the nobles will still say that the old man is okay when he mentions the unsolved case, but he did not take away an important piece of land when the nobleman was in danger. In fact, the old man waited for three years and finally got his wish and bought the land.

Altai had the same thing in mind, as an Assassin he didn't care who he was going to assassinate. With the money from Europa, Eltai will also protect Sheila's safety, and he warns the old man again, "Huweis, I have already said that you are not allowed to make a move against Sheila. ”

"Don't worry, Altai. I'm not going to shoot at her. When I am cured, you help me tell Sheila that I am ready to support her in the candidacy of Ankara for the head of the state. ”

"Why?" Altai did not have the slightest reassurance about the old fox.

"I have malaria, but I'm afraid I won't live long, and I will work hard to be elected as a patriarch for the sake of my family. If the doctor is as miraculous as the legend goes, I begin to believe that I can live longer, Sheila is a foreigner, and she cannot stay in Ankara. The patriarch of Ankara at the time of the next Senate elections will definitely be me. ”

Altai felt that this reason made sense, but he was still wary of the old man. He even suspected that the old man was preparing to wipe out Sheila and Altai as well?

Looking at Altai's expression, the old man said in an exaggerated tone that hated iron but not steel: "Altai, you are a smart man. This Senate must be a Colosseum. Those who are high above throw gladiators and beasts into it, serving who will be the final victor. Yes, whoever can kill a lion will become a hero, and the spectators in the Colosseum will see more likely that the lions tear the weak to pieces. I don't want to be a hero, Sheila's little girl is eager to try. Since she helped me live a few more years, why don't I applaud her struggle from the stands? ”

"You don't seem to thank her for saving your life." Altai scoffed.

The old man sneered, "Hehe, Altai, don't tell that little girl that she has the ability to get acquainted with such a powerful doctor, she is also using more powerful power." If I really want to thank anyone, I'd rather thank the provinces of Europa, they are the ones who have power. I decided to help the little girl who supported them, and I guess I am grateful enough. ”

As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door, and then the voice of the servant came, "Master, the citrus has been pickled." ”

The old man shouted outside the door, "Wait and come." ”

Then he lowered his voice and said, "How about it, would you like to have some dessert together?" ”

Altai stood up and shook his head, he walked to the windowsill. I heard the old man laugh and say, "Please say hello to the people behind Greece on my behalf." If you have the chance, I will invite them to visit me. ”

Altai threw up the curtains to cover his figure, and when the curtains fell, no one could be seen again. The old man leaned back on the sofa and sighed, and shouted to the door, "Send something in." This damn weather, this damn malaria. These damn it! ”

The effect of the treatment was very good, and the old man Huweis's malaria was quickly cured. Although he did not attend the banquet of the eastern nobles later, he had people come to the banquet to inform the nobles that the old man was going to recuperate for a period of time to recover his body. He supported Sheila's candidacy for the head of the Ankara region.

This news caused quite a stir in Ankara, and the news even quickly reached Constantinople. Sheila's candidacy was initially treated as a joke among the nobles, and it was not when Tiberius strongly opposed it, and Tiberius's ignorance of power was ridiculed as a laughing stock among the nobles. The nobles knew that scholars were sometimes strange, but they did not expect that the famous Lord Tiberius would have such a naïve side.

The real change began with the dispatch of a female diplomat by the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is talked about in various aristocratic groups. When the female diplomats of the Great Song Dynasty, the Empress of Western Rome, and Sheila stood together and talked cordially, the nobles already felt that something was completely wrong.

In just half a month, the nobles of Ankara, an important city in the east, supported Sheila, and at the tea party in the aristocratic circle attended by the Leo family, many people congratulated the Leo family with a mocking tone. Cicelius' fiancée's aunt didn't want to listen to this, and she said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Cicelius has returned to Constantinople and will be married in five days. We hope you will all attend. ”

"Cicelius has become a military judge, what is the future of this young man?" Some nobles couldn't help but ask.

The nobles were silent for a moment. When the Eastern Roman Emperor rebuilt his legions, he was quite jealous of the great nobles, and he tried to deny the power of the great nobles to enter the army. At that time, no one among the great nobles wanted their children to join the army, and the choices made by both sides back then had already shown results. The food crisis led directly to the total confrontation between Baselus' legions and the great nobles. Cicelius was clearly on the side of the legion, and the nobles knew it. Even so, Cicelius' choice at the time of the intensification of the conflict made the nobles feel that this man was much stronger than the mob.

Seeing that the other nobles were silent, the noblewoman of the Leo family spoke again, "I am going to tell Sheila when I see her that the Leo family is willing to support her. ”

Someone replied: "But old man Tiberius said that if women were allowed to run, he would let the selection committee strike." This sounds like worry, and the reluctance to participate in it is also very obvious.

Someone immediately objected, "Tiberius has already come up with a plan, does he have to carry it out?" ”

This point of view caused the nobles to nod their heads in agreement. Old man Tiberius was annoying in many places, and the fact that he was powerless to stop Sheila also proved that the old man had no real power. As for the claim that the selection committee should stop working, it is even more inexplicable. Did the old man really think that the nobles could be manipulated by him?

Eventually, the nobles offered to attend Cicelius' wedding, and they were equally concerned about whether Sheila would return to attend the wedding. The noblewoman of the Leo family said, "They have a good relationship between brother and sister. ”

On the day of the wedding of Sheila's brother Cicelius, there was a drizzle in the sky. Fortunately, the cathedral is large enough, and although there are many people attending the ceremony, it can barely be stopped. The bishop asked: "Is there anyone against this holy wedding?" But the door was pushed open.

The timing and the sound of pushing the door startled many people, and it was not uncommon for such things to happen at aristocratic weddings. There are those who are exposed by their husbands or wives because they conceal their previous marriage history, and more are hot-blooded mistresses or mistresses who rush in and angrily reprimand the negative person. Anyway, everyone looked at the door. I saw that Sheila was wearing a travel dress, which was wet, and she pulled down her hood, and her hair was also pressed and somewhat out of shape. The appearance of this hurried dress is similar to that of a wild girl.

But Sheila's face was full of joy, and although she didn't shout when she saw her brother, she waved vigorously to him. Cicelius on the stage also smiled and waved to his sister. Seeing such a performance, many nobles remembered the statement about the deep affection of the brother and sister. Now that my brother is a judge of the legion, my sister may want to run for the senator. The marriage between the Clysius family, which is a minor nobleman, and the Leo family, an old nobleman, is really interesting.

Seeing that no one had come to object, the bishop continued solemnly declared, "I hereby declare that you have been married. ”

There was applause below, and Sheila applauded enthusiastically, not caring at all that many people were looking at her.

The banquet has its own banquet hall, and when her brother Cicelius appeared with her sister-in-law, Sheila, who was already dressed up a little, jumped up and hugged her brother and sister-in-law. Cicelius laughed, "You've finally arrived and seen the most important part." I'm worried you won't be able to catch up. ”

"I'm worried too, I didn't expect the ship to break down halfway." Sheila said excitedly.

"And how did you catch up?" Cicelius was curious.

"There's a ship coming from behind, and I'm going to ask the captain to signal me to transfer to that ship."

"And after that?"

"Then they set up a crane and lifted me from the boat."

"Hahahaha," Cicelius laughed, "well, you've really worked hard. ”

After talking to her brother, Sheila said to her sister-in-law again: "Sister-in-law, you will take care of my brother in the future." ”

Looking at the sister-in-law's free and easy appearance, the daughter of the Leo family could only smile and say, "I will do my best." ”

Of course, the newlyweds can't let the sister-in-law be alone, and many people are still anxious to meet the sister-in-law. So the couple continued to go deeper into the ballroom to pay homage to the elders. A group of nobles took the opportunity to surround Sheila and start a new conversation.
