"What are you talking about?!" Dmitri thought whether there was a problem with his ears, and Brother Sergius told him with his firm eyes that it was true.

"They actually distributed food to us, which is a weird thing!" Dmitry shook his head, bewildered by the purpose of the rebels in the city. Is it to dissolve the riots in the lower city? That would be too costly! Their purpose is to incite the riots of the people at the bottom to take this opportunity to disturb the sight of the rebels, so as to safely **** Princess Ajelina mother and daughter away from Agrignon, but this is not a good signal now.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Compared with the doctor's guess, the monk's thoughts went a step further, and the expression on his face became much lower. "This is the first kind of conjecture I said before, and this is the best for us, and the other possibility is the worst for us."

"There is a second guess? Could it be that they have any attempt to fail?" Looking at the church ceremonies that fled in a hurry today, Dr. Dmitry didn't think the rebels could do any tricks. They had already been right after losing their prestige. The city was starting to lose control. In his opinion, he only needed the next time to find a breakthrough to send the princess, mother and daughter and the crusaders of Thessaly to converge. By then, the end of the rebels would come.

Sergius shook his head and said coldly: "Since ancient times, people who hold violence in their hands have adhered to a principle. If they can't solve the problem, they can solve the problem. In our land, this method has already been used. It’s not uncommon. When they have realized that normal means cannot be effective, they will do whatever it takes to do whatever it takes."

"You mean...?!" Dmitri was shocked after hearing what Sergius said. At the entire dining table, everyone was quiet at this time, silent. Although the mad monk didn't say it clearly, what he said made the people here subconsciously horrified.

"Monk, you mean that they are ready to do it--" Princess Ajelena didn't say any more, because she was afraid that she would say that horrible word.

But Sergius did not have such scruples, affirming the speculation of others and said: "They may be working on this place tonight and cleaning the entire Lower City."

"Do they really dare to do this?" Dr. Dmitry, who couldn't believe it, stood up! Although I didn't want to believe it, the anger in my chest couldn't suppress the chill in my heart.

The mad monk continued: "If it is really my second guess, then these foods are only the last supper, and the purpose is only to temporarily stabilize the residents in the slums, just like the Emperor Justinian hundreds of years ago. To appease the blue and green parties and remove their favored officials, stepping back is just to better raise the butcher knife in their hands."

"But even if the rebels want to suppress the Nika riot, where did they come from?" Even the Emperor Justinian had to wait for the famous general Belisarius to return to Constantinople to implement the plan. The rebels in the city are nothing but a mob of horrified birds. It is not easy to slaughter a city.

However, Sergius reminded him: "Don't forget that Emperor Justinian relied not only on the eastern border guards under Belisarius, but also on the Herulian mercenaries led by Mondous. It was not only the few cronies cultivated by Romanus in the city that the coup d’état was launched to win Agrinon—how did the navy of His Royal Highness the Prince be completely annihilated in Corfu?"

"Genoese... **** it. I completely forgot about these merchants who can mess up the water by giving money." Thinking of this, Dmitry also realized that it was not good. After all, he left the whirlpool of power struggle very early. Living peacefully under Hendry's protection for more than a decade has completely deprived him of his sensitivity to threats.

"Then what should we do now?" The doctor who realized that the situation might get worse was sweating anxiously, and the only thing he could count on was the mad monk in front of him.

Sergius was silent at this time, but his eyes were on Princess Ajelena, who had been sitting on the opposite side, who had been silent. In fact, he had been waiting for her to make a statement. But from beginning to end, apart from the first few words that Princess Ajelena said, the rest of the discussion was only between him and Doctor Dmitry, which made the monk a little disappointed.

There was a long silence, just when Sergius thought there would be no results and was ready to give up, the silent princess spoke.

"If you are going to leave today, can you guarantee Irina's safety, monk?"

"I swear to use my life to protect your Royal Highness's integrity and to send her safely out of Agrinon." The monk solemnly promised Agelina, kneeling down on one knee and pressing her heart with her hand.

The occurrence of this scene confuses both Dmitri and Zoe.

"What did you mean, monk?" Zoe asked, looking at Sergius.

The mad monk took a deep breath and gave a difficult answer: "Tonight the rebels are bound to take action, and I can only take one person away. If I take other people, the defender of the city whom I bought. I will doubt that the identity of the Royal Highness will inevitably be revealed at that time. Originally, I was planning to rescue the two Highnesses twice in a few days, but time does not matter, there is no room for perfection. I can only take one person away."

As soon as he said this, the room was silent for a while, and everyone knew what his words meant.

"I won't go, Mom, I won't go anywhere except here!"

As if afraid of losing her mother immediately, Irina subconsciously grasped Princess Ajelena's hand tightly. But Irina found out that her mother hadn't embraced herself in her arms as she did in the past. On the contrary, her mother broke away from herself. Her eyes were no longer as gentle as they used to be, and her expression was no longer as loving as before. At this time, Princess Ajelena got rid of the last trace of warmth in her eyes.

Her gaze made the Demetrius and Brother Sergius present a tremor. Sergius got up first, and Zoe pulled her husband’s sleeves. At this time, The parting of a mother and daughter may take a little time and space.

"Remember, Irina, you have the blood of Dukas, the blood of me and your father. You are born the heir of Agrinon, and you can never be weaker in your words and deeds, because No one else can protect you, not even me! You must live bravely and with dignity. I have never spoiled you so much that I never thought of planning for the worst, but God always likes it Teasing our lives. You must not stay here, otherwise, I would rather die now, lest I see you being abused and abused in front of me."

"Mom—" Looking at her mother, Queen Irina couldn't help but choked up, who was obviously unable to accept such a change.

But Princess Ajelena whispered in her ear: "No more tears, Irina! After leaving here with Brother Sergius, the princes of Thessaly will support you as their monarch. At that time you will be in power. At that time, there will be people who will fear you, will love you, and more people will covet you and your land. At that time, stop making mistakes like father and mother and open your eyes. Know everyone and don't trust anyone."

The words of the princess were filled with endless regret and pain. They were only spoken to Irina, who was still young. Maybe it would turn into a seed of strength or a poisonous bitter fruit, but Ajelena It is impossible to predict the future. There was no time to be wasted. At this time, in order to avoid suspicion, the couples Sergius and Dmitri stood outside and waited. The princess simply confessed her daughter a few more words.

Ajelena took her daughter to stand up, looked at Sergius who was waiting outside the door and said, "Franker, my daughter will be handed over to you."

Entering from the door, Sergius promised: "Please don’t worry, I will use my life as a guarantee, and I will definitely send His Highness out of the city safely. I have already bought the guards of Haicheng and go out by sea. Drive along the coast, keeping the land in sight all the way until we reach Patras. From there, we cross the strait to Thessaly without being spotted on the way."

"What should I do if I run into an enemy?"

"I hired two ships, and I sat separately with His Royal Highness Irina. If found, I will split up and use my life to cover His Highness's departure. Please rest assured on this point, I am willing to take me against The promise of God makes a vow."

The monk's firm words gave Ajelena a satisfactory answer, and Irina Dukas still couldn't help sobbing while watching her mother. The Dmitries on the side consoled them: "Don’t worry, my lord, the princess just said the worst result. We will always be there to protect the safety of my lord. Maybe we can meet again soon. ."

"I hope things are really as you said." Brother Sergius said, these days, due to his identity, he has always been indifferent in the relationship, but this time he stepped forward and gave it to him. The blessed hug of the Dmitry couple. The couple was also taken aback, then looked at each other and smiled, accepting the rare human touch of the mad monk.

Although everyone talks about beautiful expectations, they all understand that the road ahead is obstructive and long.

"Send me a letter to my child! I have never disconnected from him in these two years. I don't think I will write to him again. Maybe he will be driven crazy in the army!" Dmitry laughed Hehe took out the prepared envelope from the cabinet, which was originally given to his son after he was preparing to put down the rebellion, but now he can only ask Sergius to do it for him.

The mad monk looked at the slightly trembling hand holding the envelope, did not say anything, and accepted the final entrustment given to him by the Dmitrys.

...

Night finally fell on the land of Agriñon. When the last cart of food was distributed, the cursing slum people also scattered in the gathering square, leaving only the mess on the ground.

But none of them knew that the shadows were approaching them step by step. The garrison that was in charge of public security was disbanded and replaced by soldiers in brown armor and dark green uniforms. They seemed to have fallen from the sky, and they lined up close to them. In the Xiacheng district between the main streets, everyone waited quietly, but they were holding ignited torches and flammable objects, just waiting for the final order to be issued.

And standing in front of the quiet street in the dark, the young nobleman who led them did not give orders for a long time.

"Romans, the time you and we said before has come, when will you start?" The Kuman mercenary leader behind him reminded.

At this time, Romanus finally opened his eyes that had been closed. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he was crushed by the words of his teacher Muswar-they would not be kind to you. Thanks, they only prostrate in the power in your hands!

"Do it!" Romanus ordered.

The leader of the Kuman mercenary behind licked his lips, his eyes showed the light of killing, and once again confirmed: "Don't forget what you promised us before, it should still count, Romans!"

"This is natural, you are still useful to me, and I have no reason to lie to you." Looking at the Kuman slave he bought from a Genoese businessman, Romanus replied impatiently.

The Kuman nodded. Although he and the people under his hand were not willing to be instructed to do work by the Roman in front of him, the overweight offered by the other party really made it difficult for them to refuse. In addition to promising their freedom, Romanus promised that they would divide the spoils at will in the subsequent looting and massacre, which was much better than the castrates who were originally sold to Egypt as the Saracens.

"Let's release the arrow!"

With an order, the arrows shot by the Kuman archer were sent to the homes of the unprepared slum dwellers. The garbage piled up on the roof of the street was instantly ignited by the turpentine kerosene entrapped on the arrow, turning into a raging fire. The fire ignited the dark night, and the panicked people fled from their homes, but the bows and arrows shot by the waiting archers moved their bodies to dance, and the blood stained the brick wall behind them. A moment later, Kuman The shoes of the mercenaries stepped on their bodies, and the people who followed sprayed flammable rosin and sulfur on them, and kicked those who hadn't died back into the fire with their feet.

"They want to kill us! They want to kill us!" Weeping and shouting, the slum people who realized something yelled, but it was too late, and people were horrified to find that the roads on the street were blocked~www. readwn.com~ Can't just wait to die like this! "Someone roars, and when people are forced to desperation, they will burst out with a beast-like will to survive. Since they can't escape, then they can't wait for death like this.

A group of brawny men in the slums picked up everything they could use as weapons around them—shovels, hammers, and even rolling pins, but they were not facing the church guards who were panicking during the day, but a group of Kumans who were already vicious. Mercenary. The grinning Kumans opened their bows and shot arrows easily. The bowstrings were pulled apart infrequently, but they accurately shot the poor people who were trying to resist. The gangsters in the Xiacheng district would only rush, or even not. Pounced in front of the opponent and was shot to the ground.

The mercenaries approached steadily, the shooter in the front was responsible for suppressing, and those who followed were responsible for inspecting the corpse. If not dead, they would patch a thorn in the heart, and then put it in oil and burn it. The frightened people realized that this was an unequal battle. Some of the panicked people knelt and offered all their belongings, including the relief food that Jin Tiangang took away, but they couldn’t stop those Kumans from being proficient. The killing operation.
