Chapter 35 Guests

"As you can see now, because we still abide by the contract, even if we suffer from war, we can have such peace in Nafplion." Baron Pierre looked at this bustling city with a little intoxication.

City, turned around and took a deep look at Justinian and said meaningfully.

"I think you should know best, Your Excellency Justinian, such peace is rare everywhere nowadays. After the misfortune happened in your country, it is precisely because we abide by the contract with the emperors that Greece here is

Only then can the people live and work in peace and contentment without being harassed and suffering from being exiled in a foreign land. Similarly, we have reached an agreement with the Achaean princes to remain neutral, so everyone here can avoid being devastated by war. And all of this has only one premise:

It’s the observance of the contract.”

His words were obviously implying something to Justinian, but unfortunately, the young man named Justinian in front of him still looked as usual, and he only heard Justinian say casually:

"It is indeed valuable peace, but the right to enjoy peace sometimes cannot be decided by oneself. Most of the time it is often not in one's own hands. For the so-called contract to be effective, it requires more than just compliance. It also comes from signing.

The power that is in the hands of those who hold it.”

As soon as he said this, Pierre, who was still smiling before the time came, froze slightly. It was obvious that Justinian heard what he meant, but he directly rejected him in this way.

This obviously made the man feel very uncomfortable for a while, but the noble character still made Pierre finally choose to calm down and take Justinian and his party to the municipal residence of Nafplion. Other Pisa nobles also

They were all waiting there, preparing to host a banquet to entertain the arrival of Justinian and others.

I saw the ceremonial guard passing by, and the residents in the city also moved out of the way. People pointed and looked at the scene in front of them. It was obvious that they did not know about Justinian's arrival before, although many people knew what happened in the south——

The Latins were worried and the Greeks were rejoicing, but neither of them recognized Justinian.

And Justinian was also aware of this. It seemed that although Baron Pierre received him politely and thoughtfully, he treated his arrival as low-key as possible. It seemed that the other party was indeed unwilling to be involved.

Among them, Justinian was not surprised, but after thinking about the other party's reaction before, he seemed to have thought of something, and whispered to Arslan beside him:

"I need you to do something."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Justinian's serious expression, Arslan did not dare to neglect and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Send someone to sneak in later and ask people in the city to find out if anything happened in the city that looks different from usual." Justinian lowered his voice and ordered as calmly as possible.

"Are you worried that the Pisa people will do anything?" Arslan immediately became alert. He knew that Justinian would never make unnecessary moves without evidence.

But Justinian shook his head, "I'm not completely sure. It's just that if the other party simply refuses, there is no need to receive me. This will only arouse the vigilance of the Achaean princes. The other party should not be unaware of this."

A little. But at least I can be sure that this Baron Pierre is definitely preparing for something. Knowing yourself, your enemy, and being prepared is much better than being unknowingly played and applauded."

"Yes, don't worry, leave everything to me." Arslan promised in a low voice, and then slowed down and secretly arranged for his men to prepare for action. It would not be difficult for them to avoid the surveillance of the Pisa people with their skills.

On the other side, just when Baron Pierre and Justinian and his party were about to approach the official office, a clerk hurried out and ran into the baron who was coming. His expression changed and he hurried up.

The whisper in his ear seemed to be telling Pierre something important.

Of course, this scene was immediately noticed by Justinian behind him, but the other party seemed to be afraid of something and deliberately lowered his voice, which made Justinian even more aware that something seemed wrong.

Sure enough, after rejecting the document in front of him, Baron Pierre turned around with a hint of guilt on his face and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. Dear Sir Justinian, because there are some things to deal with, so I can only ask you first for the time being.

Please condescend to go to the residence we have arranged for you to rest, and we will host a banquet for you later to welcome you."

It was obvious that something had happened, and the other party was also worried about being known to him. Despite this, Justinian nodded calmly and said: "In that case, I'll trouble you. Since you still have things to deal with,

I won't waste your time." After saying that, without any dissatisfaction, he followed the pizza attendant beside him and headed towards the arranged post house.

As soon as he turned around and walked away, Justinian asked Arsland beside him in a low voice: "Have everyone made arrangements?"

"Everything was arranged according to your instructions. Did you discover anything, Justinian?"

"I guess Sir Pierre doesn't want us to see you, so he suddenly changed his mind and would rather ignore the etiquette. It seems that I am in line with what I expected before. When your people come back in the evening, I think we can immediately

It’s time to see the difference.”

After that, Justinian and his men still pretended not to know anything and gradually disappeared from the sight of the Pisa people. Baron Pierre, who was frightened by this scene, breathed a sigh of relief. But he had no time to calm down.

Overcome by the fluctuating mood just now, the man immediately climbed up the steps and walked straight into the official residence. As soon as he stepped into the door, the tense atmosphere made him breathless.

I saw that at the banquet that was originally intended to honor Justinian, several uninvited guests from the Achaean kingdom appeared here, and their faces were full of evil. As guests of the Pisa people, these guests from

The envoy from the Achaean kingdom looked completely armed at this moment.

Baron Pierre changed his mind precisely because his clerk told him what happened here. The man who led him immediately saw him as soon as he entered the door, opened his arms and said hello:

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Baron, but why didn't you bring the guests to this banquet? This is such a pity, but I remembered that it was only one day away. If I had delayed my time before,

Maybe today’s guest will be the first to arrive! Why don’t you take the opportunity to introduce us to him?”

The man said with a subtle expression and a smile. This scene made many people present become nervous. However, unexpectedly, Baron Pierre, who looked directly into the other person's eyes, still looked calm at this moment and said coldly.
