Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Can you assure me that you will do everything you can to protect her, Lord Justinian?" The old man lowered his voice and said to Justinian, but his gaze fell on his solemn expression at the moment. Antonia seemed to be watching the scenery on the deck not far away.

"Of course I can guarantee this. Please rest assured, Mr. Christopher!" Justinian agreed without hesitation. What about the outside? If it's just to avoid the marriage forced on her by her brother, I think it should be enough for shelter with your strength, right?"

Everything before has shown that Christopher has a transcendent status as a Genoa in Genoa. This is not difficult. Although he agreed to the other party, Justinian still expressed his doubts and looked at the deck not far Asked the Genoese girl.

In this regard, the one-eyed old man did not answer directly, but shook his head and said: "Some things are not that simple, and the specific reason will be that one day when Antonia is willing to tell you, you will naturally know. Now you just need to be clear. In this regard, as long as you protect her, you will receive unprecedented support, enough to solve the dilemma you are facing now. This is a great deal, isn't it?"

"You are always such a trader, so who wants to believe you? But despite this, I will keep my promise. It's just to pay back the favors. I don't want to and have no ability to involve in other things. That's it." Seeing and asking nothing, Justinian didn't continue to ask, but he didn't want to involve too much. He has a hunch that there are too many doubts about Antonia. Although it seems irrelevant now, it always makes Justinian feel that it is not that simple.

However, Christopher chuckled lightly at this time and said: "One day you will find that some people in the market need to get along better, because they will clearly price everything, instead of being like others, you will never know what is in their hearts. What is hidden? On the surface, when talking and laughing, you smash your bones and **** your marrow behind your back. And now, do you have any other options, Justinian? Without our help, you will always enter this eternal city."

While Christopher spoke, the group finally arrived at the city of Constantinople. When the magnificent city fell into the eye, even if it was not the first time they had seen it, people couldn't help but admire the greatness of this city. Although both the north and south sides of Constantinople are close to the sea, the height of the two sections of the city wall is only 12 to 15 meters, but this makes the whole city located on the hill behind the city wall even more impressive. Denny and they can see the Holy Palace complex, racing arena, Hagia Sophia, and various magnificent buildings in the city. However, at this time, a striking scar is particularly eye-catching. It is a piece of rubble left by the fire two years ago. When the Crusaders besieged the city, the Venetian merchants took the opportunity to retaliate and attacked here, making a large area. The coastal city was turned into a piece of white land, and it is still the same as the rubble of the original. After all, wanting to repair the weak Latin empire is no different from idiotic dreams.

However, when this situation and scene fell into the eyes, it still made people feel quite uneasy, especially the other members of the Vadarutai legion on the ship, many of whom had experienced the fall of Constantinople. And when two years later, when I came back here again to see this scene, everyone subconsciously clenched their fists.

And Justinian was silently looking at this eternal city, even though he was deeply traumatized, but he understood that, as Christopher said, even such a weak Constantinople, with his Power, even other forces that the Byzantine Empire participated in, could not be recovered in a short time. They are bound to usher in the baptism of blood and fire, and he must get external help, but whether it is the Dukas brothers or the Genoese, the price for them to drive is too high, and he has no intention of continuing to cooperate with them who have a ghost in their hearts. The only people who can be trusted seem to be Antonia and Christopher. But Justinian is very curious, why they have such confidence to make such a promise. Now in the entire Balkans, although the strength of the Latins has suffered a heavy blow, but Henry of Flanders has stabilized the situation. It is not that simple for such a generation of British lord to deal with. With the power that Justinian currently possesses, he has no confidence in the capital to fight the opponent.

"They are here!" Suddenly, the one-eyed old man said ~www.readwn.com~ At this moment, a battleship sailed out of the Golden Horn in the distance, and we saw the Venetian flag of San Marco and Genoa from a distance. The flag of Saint George of the people. At this moment, the main harbor roads here have been completely controlled by Italian merchants. Therefore, all passing ships must be inspected strictly by people from both sides before they can be released. In this narrow waterway, only a small amount of force is enough to hold all those who covet Constantinople.

In the same way, this is tantamount to putting the lives of Justinian and his subordinates in his hands. If their identities are exposed, there will be no Genoese shelter, even if the Vadarutais are no matter how tough they are There are also lambs to be slaughtered at sea.

"What should I do now? Even if Andrea is released, I'm afraid he won't be willing to cooperate! And the Venetians before him will not let it go."

Although there was only a brief contact, Justinian knew very well that Andrea had the same temper as his sister, and it was difficult for him to give in. And since he has rejected the opponent, it is impossible to pass safely. Justinian can only hope Christopher and them at this time, because of a little carelessness, the entire fleet and even Galata's Genoa Everyone will be their enemy.

But Christopher smiled slightly and said, "You can rest assured of this, we naturally already have a way to deal with it--"

"What have you been discussing just now, mystery?" At this moment, a sweet voice came from behind, and Justinian subconsciously turned his head and saw a slender and heroic young man in a cashmere robe. Standing behind Justinian.

And this situation can't help but frighten Justinian. Who is this person in front of him who is not Andrea Doria? !
