Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Yes! Lord Justinian." Arslan and the others nodded immediately. Despite the rush, the troops have been resting in Turnovo for a few days. It is not very difficult to start the next day. It's just that some of the spoils they had obtained in the previous wars had to be discarded, although it was a pity, but they could only endure the pain.

On the other hand, Justinian's brows have been frowning since just now, he has not confided everything to other people-that is, they are in a hidden crisis at this moment. On the surface, the civil war in the entire Kingdom of Bulgaria ended because of them, but the Bolgarians were obviously not grateful at all, but were always on guard with speculations. If you continue to stay here, there will be danger at any time, and the same rash actions will also make the opponents famous.

At this moment, Justinian's ears still echoed the words Ivan Assen said before parting with him.

"As a pre-parting advice, be careful with Connaught, he is not as simple as it seems. Don't die in his hands before I come back and settle the old account with you!"

"Why is he killing me?"

"Do you really think I killed His Majesty Kaloyan?"

"Isn't it? That night, I passed you when I went to the Tsar's Tooth Tent. My memory and eyesight are not so bad. What's more, isn't the person who blamed me is yours?"

"The people under my hand really wanted to use you as a scapegoat, but the person who killed my uncle was indeed not me, because I was actually the one who was framed! There was an emergency at the time. If it weren't for the tooth tent, I would always be there. The person who fell into death that day was me."

"So according to what you said, there was someone else who assassinated Czaroyan?"

"What do you say? The person who can do something like that is naturally the one who gets the most benefit afterwards-and whether it is me or Borill, we will not be excluded from the supreme power, whether it is me or Bolier, what the result of the previous battle was. It is completely different. The Palatonaon nobles completely defeated the Thelmium nobles. On the surface, the brat Bolier sat on the throne, but it is another person who really holds the power of the tsar... if you are Me, Justinian, who would you suspect?"

"You mean Connaughtin?"

"This is what you said. Actually, you have already doubted it in your own heart. Why did Connaughtin, who had never been known before, justify you and clear your suspicion. That's why you chose to let me go, but Be careful, even if you do this, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to retreat from here next. This time, you won’t have the chance to get out inexplicably like the last time."

Although the other party’s words at parting were extremely harsh and full of gloat, deep down, Justinian didn’t think that Ivan Assen’s words were meant to provoke discord. In Thessaloniki, he was actually early. Already suspicious, and reminiscing about what happened later, Justinian had to be wary of the Earl of Connaught.

In any case, it is undoubtedly a very unwise choice to continue to stay in this place of right and wrong, and the reason why he left Macedonia to go here is mainly to go to Moldova to catch someone before the Venetian. In Bulgaria he undoubtedly wasted too much. Much time.

Now, if there is any good news in front of Justinian, it was passed by Antonia, who had been missing since he got here after he just ended the Bulgarian civil war not long ago. The news, and the content of the letter surprised and delighted him-if what the Genoese girl said is true, then the key to whether they can safely get out of here tomorrow depends entirely on this.

For some reason, thinking of this, there was a rare peace in Justinian's heart at this time. So far, there have been too many things that made him feel incredible about that girl, but it must be admitted that the delicate girl has a lot of agility and composure that men can't match. If you are not very sure, I believe Antonia will never write this letter to herself.

As the war in Bulgaria subsided, the news soon spread to other surrounding countries that had been eyeing them. No one thought that a large-scale civil war of nobles would come to an end in just a few months, and the rapid progress made many people stunned. And this naturally made their wishful thinking that they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob completely failed, especially the Latin Empire, which had always been fighting hard.

After the death of Tsar Karajan, who has always been a huge threat to the north, the Latins in Constantinople can be said to be a nationwide celebration. Especially when the Bulgarian army withdrew from Thrace and Macedonia, the Latins succeeded in regaining the territories lost during the time of Emperor Baldwin, and were able to divide part of the territory of the Kingdom of Thessalonika, the heritage of Boniface.

But just when the Latins were gearing up to give back to the Bulgarian country that was in civil strife, the news of the end of the civil war left the Latin nobles dumbfounded, and they didn't recover at all.

"What, so fast?!"

"This is not good news. Everyone, being able to quell a rebellion in such a short period of time may mean that a new czar with an iron fist will hang his sword in the north. The top of his head."

"Then our original plan..."

"It is no longer a wise move to attack Bulgaria at this time. It is important to know that the land of poor mountains and rivers was also given the opportunity to chew the Romans at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. We are afraid that we will continue to march at this moment. The mistakes of Anastasius I."

The nobles nodded one after another, already denying the original idea of ​​plundering by fire in their hearts. After all, the previous fiasco at Adrianople has given many people a psychological shadow, and no one would think that Bulgaria is a character that can be easily dealt with. Not to mention that at this time, Epirus annexed the entire Macedonia to the west of them~www.readwn.com~ has become their greatest enemy in front of the Latin Empire.

"So, what about Your Majesty Henry? Your Majesty, what should he do next?" asked a nobleman.

Under the leadership of the new emperor, this foreign empire finally gradually gained a foothold. On the other side of the strait, they succeeded in making the Lascaris family of Nicaea surrender and become their vassal. In this city, they are in the Venetians. With the aid of, they began to suppress all opposition forces in an orderly manner-maybe in a few decades, they could become the true masters of Constantinople, and even become a veritable Roman Empire.

Therefore, in the current situation, the nobles are very concerned about the current plan of their emperor.

However, one of the nobles shook his head, "Our majesty is very simple these days-as for what he intends to do... No one knows. But it seems that the Venetian who went to Moldova recently brought The news has been received, and now His Majesty Henry has completely focused on that matter instead of dealing with Bulgaria’s problems."

"What news?" Upon learning this, the Latin nobles present couldn't help but become curious. It is hard to imagine that there will be more important and good things that will distract their Majesty Henry.

On the other side, the nobleman who understood the inside story was pretending to be mysterious, and then slowly moved his lips and slowly said: "It is said that they finally found the long-lost Patriarch Peter of Constantinople in Moldova. The tenth is on the trail, and they are about to take him back to Constantinople as soon as they find him."

As soon as the news was uttered, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves of waves. The Latin aristocrats who were originally just a little curious changed their faces at the same time, so that they couldn't believe their ears.

"The Patriarch of Constantinople?!"
