Eagle Byzantium

Behind the curtain, Dido was immediately speechless, showing her teeth slightly, frowning with disgust, biting her rosy lips, thinking to herself, "This lowly Turk without a nose seems to be working hard for my brother." Then she lost all interest, stood up and whispered that she was not feeling well today, and then she retreated to the inner room.

Brennus saw his wife leave, and immediately continued to smile, "Completely follow the request of General Taitius, I will continue to provide military servants and cavalry, and I will resolutely not let you fall into unnecessary suspicion and scandal."

When the two earls left with Taitius, they were very unhappy. In the inner room, Dido was furious. She said to Brenus, "The empire is in a very difficult situation now. My father's position has begun to shake due to the failure of several wars. The humble tribes (Slavs) in Dalmatia, Greater Bulgaria and Bosnia are rebelling one after another. Once something unexpected happens to my father's throne, we must have the power to protect ourselves."

"What..." Brenus lowered his voice. Although he also liked to collect intelligence from all sides of the empire, he kept a distance from real power and conspiracy. This was also the family's legacy, "Try to keep the honor of staying away from the vortex", which was the same as the famous families such as Mesadini and Plani.

But now his wife's words were very clear, "Self-preservation is always a euphemism for usurpation, because when the empire can only elect one emperor, self-preservation is either rebellion or treason."

Brenus' forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he hurriedly took two steps back, but the petite Dido took two steps forward and pressed him tightly, "I envy my sister, she now has a kingdom and can issue orders unimpeded. We should also have it, and it would be best if we occupied the entire Pamphylia and Opshikin, where the finances and taxes and soldiers are very rich, so that John can't compete with us in the Peloponnese alone - the curse of the empire, all the cooperation All emperors should come from Asia Minor."

"Emperor..." Brennus whispered, leaning against the wall, "I have never thought about such a question."

Dido raised her eyebrows and covered her chest with her hands, "Now it's not that you have no ambition, it's that I am happy or not. John is so ugly and dark, I even sometimes suspect that he is not a descendant of the Komnenos family, but a lowly bastard. Once I think about the future throne of the empire being tainted by him, I can't stand it. Originally, my sister had left, and I thought my parents should like me, but now John has a territory, an army loyal to him and Slaves, power is unshakable. What awaits me in the future is definitely a life in a monastery - now, I can actually understand why my sister left with Gawain. "

"Do you want it, do you really want it?"

"You are such a selfish man!" Before Brennus finished speaking, Dido suddenly raised her eyebrows, and her originally beautiful face became hideous, "Selfish, selfish!" She shouted this terrible word three times, "When John ascends the throne in the future, you think that you can keep your current wealth and prosperity with the power of the Brennus family, but you are wrong, John will use Taitius in the future Such a lowly slave, and we will be deposed and alienated, and may live a secluded life in a monastery or a country farm for the rest of our lives. I don't want this at all, I want to be like my sister, please don't be so selfish, think about me, think about your wife, you didn't hand the marriage over to the Lord, then you have to fulfill such a contract, don't be so selfish. "Dido half-opened her eyes, kept repeating her plea, busy bewitching and making things difficult, she tiptoed to hook her husband's neck, murmured and kissed her husband's nose, beard, neck and lips, exhaling a gorgeous and gentle breath, like a little woman in the market begging to please a man, hoping to get a cheap jewelry.

Brenus was so aroused that he kept panting. He put his arms around his wife's delicate and soft body, but Dido took this opportunity to make a fuss. She complained and was angry, pushing her husband to prevent him from succeeding. This is a woman's tactic. Even if Dido has no master in this regard, she is smart and has already controlled her husband very well. "You should also think about your child... If there is no guarantee, the Virgin Mary will never bless you because of my fear... Don't be so selfish, my husband, my dear little husband... I think you are particularly charming tonight, let me have a child, let him be the future of Rome 's master. "

On the couch after the cuddling, Dido, contented, pressed against her husband's ear, still nibbling the earlobe coquettishly, while Brenus, who was supposed to enter the sage mode, had dark eyes and was very sleepy. He had no ability to think about anything, and finally agreed to Dido's request, "Once, when I was in Gawain's tent, he promised me that if there was a change in the court, he would fully support us. "

"That was just the promise of the wolf, and it cannot be trusted at all. "

"But what about the agreement with Gawain to divide the plateau equally with Seleucia as the boundary? Wolves always need meat. "When these words came out, even Brenus himself was extremely surprised.

Dido smiled like a little water fairy, leaning on her husband's chest, gently twisting his organ that was the same as a woman's but had no function with her fingers, "Isn't that right? This is called courage. That Raymond was named the Great Count of Laodicea. It's obvious that my father wanted to plant a wedge here, because he didn't trust other Roman generals and nobles, and was afraid that they would collude with us."

After saying that, Dido said very naughtily that she wanted more, but it was not enough, so she wrapped herself in a soft quilt like a little warrior on the battlefield, turned over and lay on her husband's body, and began to ask for it again.

In the following days, the various armies and horses of the emperor and pilgrims were advancing unstoppably forward - similarly, when General Theodoro's Black Madonna banner and large cavalry appeared in New Caesarea in the Pontus Mountains At the sub-pass, Amasya in the south was in panic. The Great Emir Merik, who was sitting in the palace, began to feel the seriousness of the matter, "I occupy Ankara and Konya, but the front has also been stretched, and now the donkey-like bastards of the pagans are attacking me from four directions - all the way from Paphlagonia, all the way to Ankara, All the way from the New Caesarea Gate, there is also the 'Eight-clawed Spider' in Cilicia. I can't figure out the direction in which he may attack."

Merrick's courtiers gathered around and looked at the Chartlands chess piece in front of the emir, "What should I do now?" Then he recited Tianzhu's poem, "Soldiers are like chariots, how should the soldiers of the four armies be arranged?" (Unfinished) To be continued~^~)
