"I lied to me..."

What was going on? Justinian's whole body was cold and he didn't know what happened for a moment...

The inexplicable words that the Turkic warriors said to him before, as well as the current situation, were a bit too much for Justinian. He was trying hard to get some information from his original body.

The angry Turkic warrior threw Justinian aside and roared: "Alexis, if you dare to touch us, the Sultan will let you die without a burial place! Don't forget that the army outside this castle is not something that your mobs can resist." He understood that they were in desperate situation at this time, but they were still harsh. Because there were hundreds of Turkic warriors outside, the headed Turks hoped that Alex III could surrender.

However, Justinian, who was standing by, knew it was futile and said coldly: "Since he had done this, it means he had a way to escape unstoppable. I'm right, His Majesty Alexe?" At this moment, he also took off his disguise and looked at the Turks who fell into the trap because of greed and did not hide their mockery at all.

"You dare to say this to me, you damn slave!" The furious Turkic warrior pulled out his waist knife, and his forehead was bulging with blue veins. Unfortunately, his hands were trembling slightly exposed to Justinian's sight.

"He said it's right. It's easy for me to kill you. When the outsiders notice that you are already cold." The old man outside the door sneered in a sinister tone. Alexa III was still standing there and it seemed that he was in a hurry to leave.

Hearing such an answer, the Turkic people also turned pale.

Justinian smiled contemptuously, and the broken memory of the body was slightly closed in the moment. He finally remembered that he was not only a servant of Alexe III but also a detailed work placed by the Turks here. He monitored Alexe III's every move, so he was at a loss just now. The original Master Justinian seemed to have a certain identity, so these Turks were somewhat afraid.

However, if you can't get rid of this, everything has nothing to do with me. Justinian's brain quickly thought about it and wanted to find a glimmer of hope.

"Are you going to leave here and go to Thesaly and finally escape to Epirus, Your Majesty." Justinian, who had taken a deep breath, decided to take a gamble, shouted out to the door.

“…”

After a silence, not only Alexa III, but even the Turkic warriors looked at the boy strangely. From the beginning, he seemed to have become a different person. It was really confusing to say these words to Alexa III.

"How could you know? I remember that no one of me revealed this." Alex III asked with a gloomy face, not denied it. He did not expect that what Justinian said was exactly what he planned not long ago, but only he himself knew it.

Justinian was also nervous at this time, and he could only use this method to delay time and find opportunities.

Justinian said: "If what I said is true, I would recommend that you give up your plan and go to Thessali to the Latins. It may be safer to go to the current emperor of the Odor. At least the help of the Turks is necessary, and it will be better for you to go to Nicea. I hope you can let us go as if it had not happened, just as it was a misunderstanding."

"That usurper of Theodor?! Do you know how ridiculous you said? Do you think this would scare me? Although you guessed it rightly, none of you will escape from here today." Alexe III's words were full of hostility, and this old man didn't believe anything. He was very angry, both Muzfius and his son-in-law Theodor's usurpation made him very angry, but Justinian actually asked him to take the initiative to surrender, accidentally touching his reverse scale.

His attitude of not getting into the air also made Justinian frown and said, "Do you just want to fall into the trap and destroy yourself? Even if you are lucky enough to arrive at Epirus, I am afraid that Count Mikhail may not welcome you. As the king fled without fighting, you will be a hot potato wherever you go. It is wise to cooperate with the Sultanate of Roma to regain the throne."

Now Justinian can only use his eloquence step by step to convince the other party. What he said was not groundless. According to history, Alexe III was indeed redeemed by Epirus and sent to Nicaea. However, Alexe III was so suspicious that Justinian was not sure to convince the other party. Moreover, the price was also huge. If history was greatly changed, his only gold finger would be greatly reduced. However, living now is the most important thing, and it is not necessary to control much.

His words seemed to work. After a while, Alex III outside the door finally spoke, "I can consider what you said."

As soon as this said, not only Justinian was surprised, but he thought he would have to pay a greater price to convince the other party. Even the Turkic warriors were ecstatic. They were very nervous just now, afraid that the other party would leave and starve them to death.

But before Alexe III finished speaking, he continued, "But I have something to say to Justinian alone, and let the rest retreat to the back. Otherwise, everything will be free."

The conditions proposed by Alexei made everyone stunned. Not only the Turkic people who looked at each other could not even guess what the old fox was thinking.

But since the other party insisted on such a request, everyone in the secret room had to do this. Anyway, they couldn't cause any trouble, so they could only hope that Justinian could successfully negotiate with Alexa III.

The Turks retreated to the innermost part of the secret room, while Justinian was close to the iron gate.

"As you said, your majesty, can we continue the negotiations next?"

"Are you sure they have retreated to the back?" Alexe III asked in a low voice, "If not, you will be responsible for the consequences." Then the old man's voice fell, which made Justinian unable to figure out what this sinister guy was selling in the gourd.

He nodded and replied in a voice that could only be heard by Alexe III: "Yes, I'm sure, then can we negotiate?"

Behind Justinian, a group of Turkic warriors were waiting impatiently.

"Can you really believe that kid? He won't collude with that old guy."

"If the damn old guy goes out, I will definitely tear him to pieces."

They whispered with gritted teeth, but they could only wait like this, and instead, Justinian, the slave, became their hope.

On the other side, Alex III, who received Justinian's reply, did not reply immediately. Justinian could only vaguely hear the sound of the old man opposite him gasping.

Suddenly, Alexa's old and subtle voice sounded again. "Next, erect your ears, and if you still want to survive, listen to my instructions without moving. I'll count three times—"

"one!"

"two!"

The sudden change made Justinian completely at a loss, but he had no time to hesitate.

"Let's go down!" Alexe III roared suddenly, and this time the sound was so loud that everyone in the secret room could hear it clearly.

The Turkic warriors stood there completely confused because of the sudden roar, but Justinian immediately felt a huge sense of threat. Almost at the same time, Justinian reacted and leaned down and pressed tightly on the ground.

The next second, the sound of opening and closing of the machine came from his ears, which made Justinian feel creepy.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish..."

"What..." The sudden-defying Turkic exclaimed was interrupted as soon as it came out of her mouth.

The storm-like arrow clusters flew from the walls on both sides of the secret room. The unprepared Turks had no time to react and opened their eyes wide to welcome the whistling rain of arrows. The screams of arrow clusters pierced into their bodies one after another. It was the most terrifying scene Justinian had seen in his life and the most terrifying sound he had ever heard. He lay on the ground, closed his eyes and covered his ears without daring to move. He once again underestimated the horror of the old man, and he was almost a little bit more likely to die here. Thinking of this, Justinian's spine was cold.

I don’t know how long it took, but from time to time, crossbow arrows bounced and fell beside Justinian. The rain of arrows gradually stopped, and not only screamed, but also stopped breathing of the Turks.

"Click"

The secret door also bounced open at this time. Justinian, who was trembling, raised his head with difficulty. He saw a pair of poisonous snake eyes looking at him without emotion. (To be continued)
